An LLM is a lossy encyclopedia

news.ycombinator.com Simon Willison 2025-10-18 09:40:19

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

Can You Develop Film in a Jägerbomb?

news.ycombinator.com Jeremy Gray 2025-10-19 18:12:25

Analog photographers love trying new and unusual things. Whether it’s shooting on expired film, skipping film altogether, or developing film using odd ingredients. Sweet Lou Photography opted for this last type of experimenting and developed his film inside a Jägerbomb. Did it work? For those who have not had the displeasure of drinking a Jägerbomb, it is a bomb mixed drink that combines a shot of the alcoholic German digestif, Jägermeister, into an energy drink, typically a Red Bull. This is n

Some thoughts on LLMs and software development

Martin Fowler: 28 Aug 2025 I’m about to head away from looking after this site for a few weeks (part vacation, part work stuff). As I contemplate some weeks away from the daily routine, I feel an urge to share some scattered thoughts about the state of LLMs and AI. ❄ ❄ ❄ ❄ I’ve seen a few early surveys on the effect AI is having on software development, is it really speeding folks up, does it improve or wreck code quality?

A cyberattack on Miljödata, an IT systems supplier for roughly 80% of Sweden’s municipal systems, has caused accessibility problems in more than 200 regions of the country.

Local media report that the threat actor demanded a ransom of 1.5 (currently around $168,000) Bitcoins from Miljödata in exchange for not leaking stolen information.
