news.ycombinator.com Davide Eynard 2026-01-12 10:33:46

When it comes to using LLMs, it’s not always a question of which model to use: it’s also a matter of choosing who provides the LLM and where it is deployed. Today, we announce the release of any-llm, a Python library that provides a simple unified interface to access the most popular providers.

It's Wise to Wash All Produce, but These 12 Fruits and Veggies Are the Dirtiest

Cleaning your fridge and freezer is important to do every so often, but what about the food sitting inside it? Specifically, that bottom drawer, where fruits and veggies go to retire. Even the healthiest-looking produce can carry unwelcome hitchhikers like dirt, bacteria and trace pesticides. Now, don't freak out. According to the USDA's Pesticide Data Program, over 99% of tested foods were well within the EPA's safety limits -- and more than a quarter didn't have a speck of pesticide residue.

We Might Have Been Wrong About Where Spiders Came From

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2026-01-12 21:00:11

Technically speaking, every living thing on Earth can trace its origins to the sea. Some of these earliest creatures crawled onto land, evolving to become many different kinds of animals and insects—including, scientists believed for a long time, spiders and their relatives. A new study published today in Current Biology challenges the popular conception that spiders first emerged on land, instead suggesting that these arachnids and their relatives originated and evolved in the ocean.

When you go to the doctor, you expect they will keep your medical information private. Those expectations exist because there are rules to protect you.
