The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Large language models work well because they’re so large. The latest models from OpenAI, Meta, and DeepSeek use hundreds of billions of “parameters”—the adjustable knobs that determine connections among data and get tweaked during the training process. With more parameters, the models are better able to identify patterns and connections, which in turn makes them more powerful and accurate. But this power comes at a cost. Training

Hey HN, I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately and wanted to ask — how do you monetize your personal code if it doesn’t really fit into a classic product or SaaS model? For example: * I have a trained ML model that solves a niche task really well — but turning it into a full-blown app seems like overkill. * I’ve written a CLI tool that processes log files better than anything else I’ve found, but it’s too specialized to justify making a company out of it. * I built a few small functions

Small businesses could be crushed under President Trump’s increased tariffs, according to an open letter by 38 female consumer product founders. While Trump paused his tariff increases for 90 days for various countries — setting the rate at 10% for now — China’s was raised to 145%, which includes the previous 20% levy. In the letter, published Thursday, these founders urged Trump and Congress to back off the tariff increases, at least until small businesses can find affordable supply chain alt

Exploring LispE: A Distinctive Take on Lisp Through Pattern Matching and Logic LispE, a modern Lisp dialect developed by Naver, introduces innovative constructs— defpat , defmacro , and defpred —that set it apart from traditional Lisp implementations like Common Lisp, Scheme, and Clojure. While Lisp dialects share a heritage of flexibility and macro systems, LispE extends this with advanced pattern matching, enhanced macro capabilities, and logic programming elements.

President Donald Trump has dubiously claimed he wants to be the champion of America’s working class, but his new trade policies seem more likely to kill small businesses and put plenty of working men and women out of business. Indeed, Trump’s tariff policies aren’t just terrifying Wall Street. They’re also freaking out small business owners, as can be seen by a sudden glut of comments on Reddit’s r/smallbusiness subreddit. There, small business owners can be seen fretting over everything from s

Google's Pixel 9A takes the essence of what makes the company's Pixel 9 Pro so good and wraps it up in a more affordable package. We've always loved the Pixel A series for their balance of performance and value, but I do feel this time round that Google missed a big opportunity and it all comes down to size. Apple recently launched the iPhone 16E and in so doing, essentially marked the end of its iPhone SE line -- a line that included the last truly small phone you could buy. The 2022 iPhone SE
