卖了一本 7 Days of Freedom 讲56年匈牙利革命的书。在了解这本书之前我还真不知道「匈牙利事件」的残酷程度。

卖了两本Bret Easton Ellis 的小说，我才开始卖他的作品不到一周，频繁出货，看来他仍然非常的relevant，也算是时代的某种循环吧

一单卖出四本Franklin library limited edition 这些书装帧都极其精美，五十年过去，几乎看不到任何氧化和破损的痕迹，而且有「拿到手中沉甸甸的」这种难以形容的质感。果然好东西是不需要知识就能识别的。

Walt Whitman传记封面就是明显八九十年代的风格

尽管开线上书店半年多了，还是会惊讶每日订单的多样性。

今天可以说天上地下什么种类的书都有了。

非虚构有圣保罗和胡志明的传记，加上关于黑魔法历史的小开本。

虚构有简奥斯丁，也有《美国精神病人》。

加上一本很冷门的但卖了100刀的古董水族馆手册。

世界真随机。

Anthropic is buying millions of rare books, scanning and destroying them because legally destruction is the safest option. This was a plot element in the Vernor Vinge novel, "The Rainbow's End", which I read 20 years ago.

Bibliomania - a symptom I am starting to get.

We finally know why LLMs hallucinate. It's not the model. It's the geometry.

@OpenAI text-embedding-3-large: 91/3072 dimensions do real work.

@GeminiApp gemini-embedding-001: 80/3072 dimensions do real work.

~97% of your vector database is mathematically empty. Your RAG system is retrieving from noise.

@ashwingop and I present "The Geometry of Consolidation" - a proof that RAG compression has a hard floor no algorithm can beat, set by a single spectral number your embedding model cannot escape.

Every hallucination your RAG pipeline produces? This is why.

[BOSS @thebeautyofsaas]

one of your side quests should be to build out your own personal library based on your interests and goals

save multiple copies of docs, pdfs, and rare books before they get buried or disappear lost to algo slopification and those who would rather control what you have access to

[Paul E Williams @PEWilliams_]

A friend of mine who works in rare books mentioned today everyone he knows is getting weird, big orders from the same buyer this week for "long tail books"—decades-old textbooks, private press niche history, unremarkable but rare titles just collecting dust.

Obviously AI, right?

[Sixsmith @CatOfLongTails]

@PEWilliams_ Yes and this has been reported on in the press.

[Ed Tate @dr_ed_tate]

@PEWilliams_ @Robotbeat It may be an attempt to build a training set that is free of copyright issues. Books from before 1978 generally have shorter copyright terms than later works. Many from the early 1900’s are now free of copyright restrictions.

When the market is so cooked, you had to pull this move.

When I watched Buffett’s interview, I couldn’t believe he had lived through multiple times when people called him an idiot for missing “revolutionary changes and lifetime opportunities.” Today, even though the situation is much more chaotic than before, I’ve seen self claimed genius Gen-Z mocking Buffett on X multiple times a day. Stupid people don’t change.

After watching Community so many times, I realised something so simple that I’m probably the last person who watched the show to get it:

If a character gets too self-aware about the show itself — as in, too smart and constantly breaking the fourth wall — it makes the audience suffer. Because it’s too real, too much like life, it loses its fun.
