    This inspired me to check lol. Brysbaert et al. (2019) collected word prevalence norms (the share of people who report knowing each word) for ~62K English lemmas from ~220K partici…

    It's quite amusing to ask LLMs what the pelican example is and watch them hallucinate a plausible sounding answer. --- Qwen 3.5: "A user asks an LLM a question about a fictional or…

    I've recently spent a few hundred hours playing Arc Raiders on Starlink from a small island in the Pacific. ~80ms ping to Australian servers is pretty mindblowing. Jitter and packe…

    Seeing auth succeed but push fail was an exercise in hair pulling.

    I've found Gitea to be pretty rock solid, at least for a small team.

    I did this recently with my unsorted bookmarks! It was the first time I used parallel API calls. Ten gpt-4-nano threads classifying batches of ten bookmarks ripped through 10,000 b…

    Ironically, running your username works for me, but not my own. Maybe you can view it now? https://hn-wrapped.kadoa.com/gavinray?share

    Very neat, this kind of classification & sentiment analysis with flavour text is a use case where LLMs really shine. For whatever reason, I'm getting an error in the Server Compone…

    Anybody wanting more should check out “The Flute and Flute Playing” (1871) by Theobald Boehm - an autodidact polymath who employed his talents in metalworking and physics to iterat…

    hey there's even a comment from 2020 where the creator of that project talks about this project, neat! I always wondered if they were connected in some way or independent applicati…

    I'll always have a soft spot for this earlier implementation which at lower resolutions has a kind of cyberpunk netrunner aesthetic, and at higher resolutions an almost ethereal gh…

    0.5 arcminutes really puts this into perspective — for reference the orion nebula spans about 1 degree

    Hubris aside, it was established as early as 2008 that Facebook collects data on non-users for so called 'shadow profiles.' Zuckerberg himself indirectly confirmed this: https://we…

    I'm doing 576x576 on my 3060 Ti - just wondering the max resolution you can render now using all your VRAM?

    Having recently read gradus for the first time, I'm excited to hear that strict counterpoint has been implemented in this way. "The development of the procedural music system was u…

    Twitter for instance automatically converts gif to h264. However there is a point to be made that iOS only grants VP9 decoding to Youtube, certain colourspaces fail to decode on An…

    I was unaware the rendering could and was being done client-side! Given the limitations I can see why gif would indeed be suitable format. You've tooled a compelling amount of func…

    Would you be open to adding .webm or perhaps even .mp4 support with a filesize limit? In my opinion .gif has rapidly become a legacy format.
