The oldest unopened bottle of wine in the world

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-03 15:54:11

Image by Immanuel Giel, via Wikimedia Commons It’s an old TV and movie trope: the man of wealth and taste, often but not always a supervillain, offers his distinguished guest a bottle of wine, his finest, an ancient vintage from one of the most venerable vineyards. We might follow the motif back at least to Edgar Allan Poe, whose “Cask of Amontillado” puts an especially devious spin on the treasured bottle’s sinister connotations.

Evaluating LLMs for my personal use case

Most models are excellent, so cost and latency dominate. It’s great that AI can win maths Olympiads, but that’s not what I’m doing. I mostly ask basic Rust, Python, Linux and life questions. So I did my own evaluation. I gathered 130 real prompts from my bash history (I use command line tool llm). I had Qwen3 235B Thinking and Gemini 2.5 Pro group them into categories.

It's usually brought on by conflicting messages about nutrition, either through everyday conversation or content online. It could be feeling guilty because you ate a cupcake when you promised yourself you weren’t going to touch sweets for a while, or maybe you’re trying to meet your protein quota and are obsessively keeping track of it.

New research examining over 20 years of data captured by NASA's twin climate satellites, GRACE and GRACE-FO, has revealed an "unprecedented" level of water loss among the planet's continents, creating "mega-drying" regions across the northern hemisphere.

Lightning declines over shipping lanes following regulation of sulfur emissions

As it turns out, the lightning really is responding to the ships, or rather the tiny particles they emit.
