An LLM is a lossy encyclopedia

news.ycombinator.com Simon Willison 2025-10-26 02:40:19

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

Malware persistence techniques enable attackers to maintain access to compromised endpoints despite system reboots, credential changes, or other disruptions. Common methods include altering configurations, injecting startup code, and hijacking legitimate processes. These approaches ensure the malware or attacker remains active, allowing malicious activities to continue without the need for re-exploitation.

The two versions of Parquet

news.ycombinator.com Jerónimo López 2025-11-10 08:34:32

A few days ago, the creators of DuckDB wrote the article: Query Engines: Gatekeepers of the Parquet File Format, which explained how the engines that process Parquet files as SQL tables are blocking the evolution of the format. This is because those engines are not fully supporting the latest specification, and without this support, the rest of the ecosystem has no incentive to adopt it. In my experience, this issue is not limited to Query Engines but extends to the tools within the ecosystem.

The curious case of adjacent difference If you have ever tried using the std::adjacent_difference algorithm in c++, I’m sure it left you puzzled. As the name suggests, this algorithm computes differences between adjacent elements of the input sequence, but it does one more thing: it copies the first element of the input sequence into the output sequence unmodified. The following example demonstrates how to apply the algorithm to delta-compress a postings list of document identifiers that contain
