VorticonCmdr··on Lemmings CSS Animation
love it. I did build a html-in-canvas version (https://github.com/VorticonCmdr/lemmings) for fun and I love how creative other people get
VorticonCmdr··on WorldTUI: I trained a 360M model to pretend to be a terminal
This is so cool! Thanks for sharing. I would love to see this but for a DOS shell. Sounds like a great weekend project.
VorticonCmdr··on I reverse engineered and ported Ducks
Great work. I hope we will see a lot of preservation work done now that AI can help with that. I did something very similar recently: https://github.com/VorticonCmdr/pushover
VorticonCmdr··on Show HN: Lemmings in HTML in Canvas
HTML-in-canvas is a new original-trial feature of Chrome I wanted to experiment with. You don't need Chrome Canary. You can enable the feature in "normal" Chrome (148 to 154 see here https://developer.chrome.com/origintrials/#/view_trial/34784...) as well just go to chrome://flags/#canvas-draw-element and change it to "enabled"
VorticonCmdr··on MinHash – How to Find Similarity at Scale
have a look at Simhash as well: https://www.matpalm.com/resemblance/simhash/
VorticonCmdr··on Overfitted a 900KB Transformer to Compress a 100MB CSV into 7MB
Great work. Just Yesterday I thought about LLMzip and asked myself if this is something which could vastly improve HTML compression when done at Google scale and shipped with browsers. I haven't done any research though.
VorticonCmdr··on You won't believe what degrading practice the pope just condemned
Did you check the original title?
VorticonCmdr··on Binary vector search is better than FP32 vectors
This reminds me a lot of simhashing e.g. https://matpalm.com/resemblance/simhash/
VorticonCmdr··on Don't Use RAR
Most likely because it is older. WinRAR was first released 1995 according to Wikipedia, 7-Zip 1999.
VorticonCmdr··on How is Google's SEO team structured?
I am guessing that there is not a a lot of secrecy needed because the SEO team is not the search team.
VorticonCmdr··on Ask HN: Browser history full-text seach
Hi,

I don't use a extra full-text search for my browser history. Why? Because usually searching the headlines and/or urls is enough.

In order to fulltext-search all the webpages one has to crawl and index all the pages first. While crawling might be easy (since you visit the pages anyways), indexing and then searching is a bit more tricky.

One idea for a useful homebrew plugin might be to make use of Google Custom Search. Since Google is quite good at crawling, indexing and searching this might be something to look into.

I am interested if you come up with something useable.

Regards, Valentin

VorticonCmdr··on Ask HN: what are simple problems where Machine Learning can help?
spell correction is somewhat of the most popular and easy to understand problems where machine learning can help. For example: several user enter a misspelled word and then correct them in the next step. If this happens often enough you might infer that the second word is most probably the correct version, especially if the second word has a small levenshtein -distance to the first.
VorticonCmdr··on Ask HN: statistical significance on group of Adwords keywords
You can use it this way. But what does the data tell? Group A is definitely performing better than group B or better it is not a random coincidence that group A is better performing.
VorticonCmdr··on 9 Gigapixel Image of the Milky Way
Very cool. Does anyone know why some areas are somewhat blueish. And what about the very bright stars?
VorticonCmdr··on A journeyman’s travel
An interesting idea. Do you believe he can succed?
VorticonCmdr··on Sparse English documentation for nginx? Says who?
Yeah. I also would trust a machine translated page to configure a key tool in my infra-structure.
