πŸ’¬ HackerNews Buzz: 70 comments 🐝 BUZZING
🎯 Scaling limitations of RAG β€’ Semantic understanding vs. keyword matching β€’ Hybrid search approaches
πŸ’¬ "The author's main example is Claude Code searching through local codebases with grep and ripgrep, then extrapolates this to claim RAG is dead for all document retrieval." β€’ "Grep does exact keyword matching. If a user searches for 'revenue growth drivers' and the document discusses 'factors contributing to increased sales', grep returns nothing."

From $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ to $f(g(x))$: LLMs Learn New Skills in RL by Composing Old Ones

"Does RL teach LLMs genuinely new skills, or does it merely activate existing ones? This question lies at the core of ongoing debates about the role of RL in LLM post-training. On one side, strong empirical results can be achieved with RL even without preceding supervised finetuning; on the other, cr..."
