skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
The macOS integration on this app is impressive, but the technical compression bits are a combination of ffmpeg and off-the-shelf image compression libraries. The 90% number is a pretty typical (with lossy) image savings when taking a totally unoptimized jpeg out of a program like Photoshop. There's just a bunch of extra data that can be stripped out (EXIF for one), that doesn't affect how the image looks. For video, I have no idea. Handbrake can usually get me around 50% savings with the same resolution and frame rate.

ImageOptim is a good example of a nice UI on top of image compression libraries. Sadly, it hasn't been kept up to date. It's slower and compresses worse than what's possible now. It also doesn't support webp. For my own work, I made an open source clone[0] with the newest stuff in it. I use libcaesium, which is a Rust wrapper around all the compression libraries. Check out the source to see how easy it is.

Have you tried Tree Style Tab? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-style-ta...

It moves the tab view to the side, and each tab you open is grouped "under" the current tab. So you can also have nested groups up to any depth, and you can fold groups you aren't using. It's great to keep several rabbit holes nicely organized next to each other ;)

Ask HN: Best "AI" learning resources for SWEs?

I know there is discrimination at the end of the pipeline, there has been for a few years now, but it isn't in the direction that you think its in, and it isn't relevant to who is winning a once a year award that is based on work someone started 40+ years ago.

Azerbaijan is basically in the Western camp.

Türkiye is the primary defense guarunteer for Azerbaijan and Israel is supporting Azerbaijan [0] as Iran has been supporting Armenia [1], and Israel has a listening post in Azerbaijan [2]

The only reason Russia hasn't intervened to support Armenia is in retaliation for Pashinyan overthrowing Russia aligned Sargsyan [3] in 2018. The failure to defend Nagorno-Karabakh has cauased violent instability in Armenia [4], which 100% will guarantee Sargsyan returning to power in the next 2 years.

U.S. Public demands Movie Industry nut up and shut up. ISP's should be dumb pipes. Movie industry should also stay the fuck out of colliding with playback device manufacturers. We see what you're trying to do eith HDMI 2.
Well that makes the problem pretty clear. People are sticking with Spotify/Apple Music/Youtube Music because those platforms enable algorithmic discovery of new music that they want to listen to.

Somewhere on my hard drives, I have hundreds of gigs of flacs comprising my "old" music library that I used to maintain, because that's how I used to interact with music. I haven't accessed or updated that library in 5+ years now because manually maintaining a personal music library completely fucking sucks for the casual music listener, even with perfect interfaces. It's a lot of effort, and the end result is that you get to listen to the same songs over and over again and are completely on your own for finding any new music that you want. Compared to algorithmic discovery services that can cut through the monotony of repeat plays with fresh songs that I've never heard or barely remember but am still very likely to enjoy, it's no surprise that a lot of people are moving away from manually curated libraries. I don't want my music listening to be limited only to songs that I've previously discovered myself - I want something that has awareness of more or less "all" music to pick good songs for me without having to lift a finger, and existing services have gotten pretty good at that.

I recognize that for copyright reasons at the very least (not to even get into technical issues), projects like funkwhale can't possibly provide this functionality. That's okay and understandable, but it's also the reason why people aren't switching to it.

Yeah, best not to think of any semantics wrt to the words debit and credit. Debit is left-hand side, credit is right-hand side, and just remember the rules how they work :)
Headgear is used in some combat sports, including Olympic boxing. It makes the head a bigger target, which means the head gets hit more. Those strikes may be less severe, since they're cushioned. But taking more hits is bad.

There certainly are sports that ban head strikes. Certain forms of karate, for instance. Fight fans _like_ seeing heads get punched, and they like seeing knock outs. There's not currently a very big market that wants to see fighting without head strikes.
Anarchy isn't the only solution, but it makes a great knee-jerk reaction when trust fails. Probably the more valued (ie, safety, food, etc) the more the radical the reaction, I would guess.

Big4 consultancies are decently desirable graduate hirers in my country, despite paying low, demanding long hours, and providing low value training. That's not to mention the malpractice scandals.

The fact that a graduate consultant gig is more respected than teaching roles and government positions shows the rot that's set in over the past 40 years.
I don't understand their hand-waving of Zoekt. It was built exactly for this purpose, and is not a "new infrastructure commitment" any more than the other options. The server is a single binary, the indexer is also a single binary, can't get any simpler than that.

Yeah, I had basically the same problem with it.
> Usually when people say 'moved', it implies a decrease in one place and an increase elsewhere, and yet

Yeah, I'm with you there. Personally I think this would be simpler if accounting just used negative numbers instead of a credit and debit side. That said, it's not super complicated. It's all derived from the accounting equation (explained well in this comment [1]):

Equity + Income + Liabilities = Assets + Expenses

Any transaction you do, needs to maintain that equation. That means that the changes either need to add to zero on one side or need to add to the same on both sides.

- E.g. in the example I'm selling lemonade: I'm increasing my cash (an asset, so on the right side) by $5, so I need to also increase the left side by the same, meaning an increase of $5 in the Income account.

- Or let's say I'm buying more lemons for my business. My cash (asset) goes down, but my inventory (also asset) goes up by the same amount.

- If I bought those lemons with my credit card instead, my inventory (asset) would go up and my liabilities would go up by the same amount.

In all cases the equation still holds after the transaction.

----

NB

You could construct an alternative way of accounting where the equation looks like this:
Equity + Income + Liabilities + Assets + Expenses = 0

In this world, moving money would indeed align better with your intuition. E.g. selling lemonade would be -5 Income and +5 Assets (going from income to assets). That's for instance how Beancount does it [2]. Note that that also means that Equity, Income and Liabilities will now (generally) be negative numbers.

Might be overkill unless you're looking to do semantic search. I've thought about what a search DSL for code would look like, it's challenging to embody a query like "method which takes an Int64 and has a variable idx in it" into something compact and memorable.

But a tokenizer seems like a good place to start, I think that's the right granularity for this kind of application. You'd want to do some chunking so that foo.bar doesn't find every foo and every bar, that sort of thing. Code search is, as the title says, a hard problem. But a language-aware token stream, the one you'd get from the lexer, is probably where one should start in building the database.

> Our variations feature will be nothing like Suno's (which just generates another song using the same prompt/lyrics).

That's their "Remix" feature which just got renamed "Reuse prompt" or something.

Their extend feature generates a new song starting from an arbitrary timestamp, with a new prompt. It doesn't always work for drastic style changes and it can be a bit repetitive with some songs but it doesn't completely reroll the entire song.
From what I know about RWKV, it's mostly a one man effort and doesn't have the same data pipeline / resources as most major labs. It's a bit unfortunate but I'm curious about the performance given the same training corpus as OpenAI's GPTs. Maybe some labs have tried internally but haven't released results? On the other hand it makes sense to invest more money into transformer training runs as they have been proven to work.

They really burst onto the scene and brought back RNNs in the world of transformers. The claim that RWKV isn't paralleizable during training also seems to be refuted in their readme. I'd guess it's generalizable performance as there is a difference between doing well on benchmarks and being usable. Personally I've tried running the weights a long time ago when it was first released and the results weren't usable but I'm sure there has been considerable progress since then.
While there's a lot of interesting information in your comment to unpack and look further into, I can't help but laugh that you managed to write all of that without answering the main question of the parent comment.

>Even if the statistical tools were developed by eugenicists, does that mean we shouldn’t use them?
You read it correctly. The account's "balance" would be a "credit of $5".

A transaction involves multiple accounts, so it would be written as multiple sentences: "Alice's account has a credit of $7. Bob's account has a debit of $7." If you want to write about the transaction itself, you could do that with a verb: "Transaction #23254 applies a debit of $7 to Bob's account, and a credit of $7 to Alice's account." A double-entry book is just a table with a column for each account, and a column for the date/time each credit or debit was transacted.

The whole point here is that when someone swoops in, every sentence spoken is guaranteed to be unambiguous; no matter what context that someone brings with them. So long as "credit" and "debit" are used exclusively as nouns, there can be no confusion.
It's time for another post in the meditation series. in this post we will explore how creativity, intuition, and meditation are interconnected for personal growth. Creativity is about generating unique ideas, while intuition guides decision-making beyond logic. Meditation enhances both by quieting the mind. It suggests techniques like mindful observation, visualization, journaling, and self-inquiry. It encourages incorporating creative and intuitive practices into daily life, leading to personal and spiritual growth.Enjoy!

I don't understand those "AI will never be able to do X" statements.

Surely AI will be able to do _anything_ in 1000 years. In 100 years it will almost definitely be able to replace most knowledge-based jobs.

Even today it can take away many entry-level jobs, e.g. a small business no longer needs to hire someone to write a jingle, or create a logo.

In 10 years, I would expect much of programming to either disappear or dramatically shift.
It was, especially since I consider that a hindrance to using the newer devices for 10-years, which the older ones can happily do with a properly-imaged new SD card. Even though I love my Sage, it makes me consider whether I should grab a Libra 2 if I ever see it on the cheap, just to have a comparable device that still has the memory on a SD card.

The Kobo's that just launched claim they will have better repair-ability through a partnership with iFixIt, so maybe we'll see how that impacts the ability to change the storage.
