Talking Postgres with Claire GiordanoAI for data engineers with Simon WillisonIt’s always a good day if you see a pelican. In Episode 30 of Talking Postgres with Claire Giordano, open source developer Simon Willison—creator of Datasette and co-creator of Django—joins to explore how AI is useful for data engineers today. We move past the hype and boosterism to dig into example after example: structured data extraction, alt text and accessibility, safety and security (aka the fiddly bits), and why Postgres’s fine-grained permissions are such a good fit for AI-powered workflows. Also: Pulitzer-worthy data tooling, the science fiction of the 10X engineer, agents, MCP, RAG, the multitude of model...2025-08-081h 15

Hacker News 每日播报Hacker News 每日播报 2025-07-29欢迎收看 Hacker News 每日播报！今天我们聊聊并发编程语言 Pony 的独特设计、能在旧笔记本上写游戏的本地大模型、让 LLM 犯错的“猫咪事实”、挑战硬件安全的 Volt Boot 攻击，以及从金融科技的批判到一支经典圆珠笔的魅力。
Pony：一门采用 Actor 模型、能力安全的高性能编程语言
在并发编程领域，Pony 语言以其独特的理念脱颖而出。它旨在通过创新的“Actor 模型”和“引用能力”（Reference Capabilities）系统，从根本上消除数据竞争、死锁和异常等传统并发编程的痛点。
核心特性
Actor 模型与并发安全：Pony 中所有的计算都发生在独立的 Actor 内部。Actor 之间通过异步消息传递通信，各自拥有私有状态，不共享内存。这种设计从源头上杜绝了数据竞争。
能力安全 (Capabilities Security)：这是 Pony 最强大的特性。它的类型系统不仅定义数据结构，还定义了对数据的“访问能力”。编译器通过静态分析，在编译时就能保证内存安全和并发安全，开发者无需手动管理锁。
高性能：Pony 是一门编译型语言，能生成高效的机器码，性能接近 C/C++。其轻量级的运行时和独特的无暂停垃圾回收器（GC），使其在实时性要求高的场景中表现出色。
社区洞察
Pony 的创新设计引发了开发者们的热烈讨论，大家常将其与现有主流并发方案进行比较。
与 Rust 和 Go 的比较：大家认为，Pony 和 Rust 都致力于在编译时保证安全，但实现路径不同。Rust 依靠所有权和借用检查，而 Pony 则通过 Actor 模型和引用能力。相比 Go 语言的 Goroutines 和 Channels，Pony 在不使用锁的情况下实现并发，其无暂停 GC 对延迟敏感的应用更具吸引力。
学习曲线与生态：Pony 的“引用能力”概念虽然强大，但对新用户来说有一定学习门槛。同时，作为一个相对小众的语言，其生态系统（如 Web 框架、数据库驱动等）的成熟度也是开发者在选择技术栈时考量的关键因素。尽管如此，对于那些深受并发问题困扰的团队来说，Pony 提供了一个值得探索的、充满前景的解决方案。
我那用了两年半的笔记本电脑，现在能用 GLM-4.5 Air 写出《太空侵略者》了
开发者 Simon Willison 最近分享了一项惊人的成就：他在一台两年半前的 MacBook Pro M2 笔记本上，成功运行了一个 1060 亿参数的大型语言模型 GLM-4.5 Air，并用它生成了功能完整的 JavaScript 版《太空侵略者》游戏。
本地 AI 的飞跃
Simon 使用了 Z.ai 开源的 GLM-4.5 Air 模型的一个 3 比特量化版本，将模型大小从 200GB+ 压缩到了 44GB。结合 Apple 的 MLX 框架，他仅用一句简单的提示——“编写一个实现《太空侵略者》的 HTML 和 JavaScript 页面”，模型便生成了无需任何修改即可直接运行的完整代码。
这一进展标志着本地运行的编码模型已经变得异常强大。在运行过程中，模型峰值内存占用约为 48GB，这对于一台拥有 64GB 内存的笔记本来说已经触手可及。
社区反响
这一成果在社区中激起了巨大的热情。
惊叹与兴奋：许多开发者对个人设备能拥有如此强大的 AI 辅助开发能力感到兴奋，认为这极大地降低了 AI 实验的门槛。代码“一次性成功运行”这一点尤其令人震惊，这表明模型对逻辑和上下文的理解达到了新的高度。
理性的分析：也有观点指出，《太空侵略者》的代码结构相对简单，是许多编程教程的入门案例，对于大模型来说可能并非最难的任务。同时，48GB 的内存占用对于大多数普通用户（16GB 或 32GB 内存）来说仍是一个不小的门槛。
硬件与未来：大家普遍认为，Apple Silicon 芯片的统一内存架构是实现这一成就的关键。人们开始展望，随着模型优化和硬件发展，本地 AI 将如何改变软件开发流程，例如在离线环境中进行代码补全、重构甚至原型开发。
OpenAI 推出 ChatGPT“学习模式”
OpenAI 近期为 ChatGPT 增加了一项新功能——“学习模式”（Study Mode），旨在帮助学生从单纯地寻求答案，转向更深层次的理解和知识构建。
该模式的核心理念是提供循序渐进的指导，而非直接给出最终答案。它融合了教师和教育学专家的见解，通过引导性问题和互动式提示，鼓励学生主动学习和反思。
主要特性
互动式提示：采用苏格拉底式提问法，引导用户深入理解概念。
支架式响应：将复杂信息分解成易于理解的部分，并突出知识点之间的联系。
个性化支持：根据用户的技能水平和历史对话，量身定制教学内容。
知识检查：通过测验和开放式问题巩固知识，并提供个性化反馈。
灵活性：用户可以在对话中随时开启或关闭该模式。
OpenAI 表示，该功能主要面向大学生群体，早期测试反馈积极，有学生将其形容为“一个 24/7 全天候、无所不知的‘办公时间’”。未来，OpenAI 计划将这些行为直接训练到核心模型中，并探索更丰富的可视化、进度跟踪和个性化学习体验。
维基媒体基金会挑战英国《在线安全法案》
维基媒体基金会（Wikimedia Foundation）已对英国《在线安全法案》（Online Safety Act）中的部分规定提起法律挑战。他们并非反对整个法案，而是担忧其中的“分类条例”可能将维基百科归为监管最严格的“第一类”服务，从而危及这个全球知识共享平台的运作模式。
基金会认为，如果维基百科被强制执行“第一类”义务（例如要求验证大量贡献者的身份），将严重损害全球近 26 万名志愿者的隐私和安全，甚至可能使他们面临数据泄露、跟踪或被威权政权报复的风险。
维基百科作为全球排名前十的网站中唯一的非营利项目，其内容由全球志愿者共同创建和维护，是重要的“数字公共产品”。基金会强调，他们支持促进网络安全，但认为这些为商业风险网站设计的严苛规则，不应错误地适用于维基百科这种独特的非营利知识平台。此案的结果可能为保护全球在线公共利益项目树立重要先例。
SRAM Has No Chill：利用电源域分离窃取片上机密
一篇名为《SRAM Has No Chill》的论文揭示了一种名为 Volt Boot 的新型硬件攻击方式，它挑战了我们对片上内存（SRAM）安全性的传统认知。
过去，SRAM 因其断电后数据迅速丢失的特性，被认为是存储加密密钥等敏感信息的安全堡垒，能有效抵御“冷启动攻击”。然而，Volt Boot 攻击利用了现代片上系统（SoC）中普遍存在的“电源域分离”特性。
攻击原理
现代 SoC 为了功耗管理，会将 CPU、内存等模块划分到独立的电压域。攻击者通过操纵这些电源域，制造出“不对称电源状态”，从而强制 SRAM 在电源重启后依然保留其数据。
更令人担忧的是，这种攻击无需极低温度，并且研究人员在商用 ARM 芯片上演示时，成功以 100% 的准确率恢复了缓存和寄存器中的数据。
这一发现对许多依赖片上内存进行安全防护的方案（如 TRESOR、Sentry）构成了直接威胁，警示我们即使数据从未离开芯片，也可能通过物理手段被窃取。这促使安全社区重新审视硬件信任根和安全飞地等技术的底层安全性，并思考新的缓解措施。
