Tesla's robotaxi service may have had some early hitches, but the company said it just successfully delivered a car autonomously. Using the same robotaxi technology, Tesla showed the delivery process of a Model Y from its Gigafactory Texas in Austin to a customer with a roughly 30-minute journey as seen in a video posted on X.

Evaluating Long-Context Question and Answer Systems

news.ycombinator.com Eugene Yan 2025-08-23 04:47:27

While evaluating Q&A systems is straightforward with short paragraphs, complexity increases as documents grow larger. For example, technical documentation, novels and movies, as well as multi-document scenarios. Although some of these evaluation challenges also appear in shorter contexts, long-context evaluation amplifies issues such as: Information overload: Irrelevant details in large documents obscure relevant facts, making it harder for retrievers and models to locate the right evidence for

Anker has issued its second recall this month for several power bank models sold around the world, as MacRumors has reported. If you'll recall, its previous recall that launched earlier this month focused on the Anker PowerCore 10000 power bank model A1263, which were sold between June 1, 2016 and December 31st, 2022 in the United States. The company found that the lithium-ion battery it used for the model has a risk of overheating that could then lead to the power bank melting, producing smoke
