The Sudden Surges That Forge Evolutionary Trees

news.ycombinator.com Jake Buehler 2025-10-22 11:45:37

Over the last half-billion years, squid, octopuses and their kin have evolved much like a fireworks display, with long, anticipatory pauses interspersed with intense, explosive changes. The many-armed diversity of cephalopods is the result of the evolutionary rubber hitting the road right after lineages split into new species, and precious little of their evolution has been the slow accumulation of gradual change. They aren’t alone. Sudden accelerations spring from the crooks of branches in evo

Memory is slow, Disk is fast – Part 1

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-18 17:50:01

TL;DR Hardware got wider, not faster. More cores, more bandwidth, huge vector units — but clocks, IPC, and latency flatlined. Old rules like “memory is faster than disk” are breaking. To go fast today, you have to play the new game. “CPUs keep getting faster every generation” Over the past 20 years or so computer hardware has evolved such that some facts we “know” about computers are wrong. Even among computer scientists, or perhaps especially among computer scientists, intuitions are off tar

An LLM is a lossy encyclopedia

Since I love collecting questionable analogies for LLMs, here's a new one I just came up with: an LLM is a lossy encyclopedia. They have a huge array of facts compressed into them but that compression is lossy (see also Ted Chiang). The key thing is to develop an intuition for questions it can usefully answer vs questions that are at a level of detail where the lossiness matters. This thought sparked by a comment on Hacker News asking why an LLM couldn't "Create a boilerplate Zephyr project sk

Rumor: AirPods Pro 3 features may not all arrive at launch

Using JWT to establish a trusted context for Row Level Security

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-20 05:32:51

Row-level security (RLS) is a great feature. It allows restricting access to rows by applying filters defined by a policy. It’s a tool useful for cases when the data set can’t be split into separate databases. Sadly, using RLS may be quite cumbersome. RLS requires some sort of “trusted context” for the RLS policies. The policies need to filter using data the user can’t change. If the filter uses some sort of “tenant ID”, and the user can change it to an arbitrary value, that would break the RLS

Apple’s stance on strong encryption gets the support of the FTC in US privacy U-turn
