  • The thing that annoys me most is that there have been studies done on LLMs where, when trained on subsets of output, it produces increasingly noisier output.

    Sources (unordered):

    Whatever nonsense Muskrat is spewing, it is factually incorrect. He won't be able to successfully retrain any model on generated content. At least, not an LLM if he wants a successful product. If anything, he will be producing a model that is heavily trained on censored datasets.

  • So, here's a fuck up from earlier this year:

    A family friend came over one day. I was out by my car, having returned from a visit to the shops. I hadn't seen him in years, and he asks how I was. I responded with "Surviving", before saying something about my degree progress and stuff.

    He goes a bit quiet and awkward, eventually making his way inside while I finished what I was doing.

    I walked inside and walked past my parents talking to him. Then I remembered something. His partner was diagnosed with a brain tumour that had metastasised from breast cancer. I also remembered that a few days ago, my parents went to visit his partner in the palliative care unit because she lost the fight. I realised then that he clearly came around to tell my parents that she had passed away. She fucking died and I responded with "Surviving".

    I've made BestOf, a repository of the best things in their respective categories!

  • This is way too opinionated imo. Many of these options I disagree with. There are github repos with much larger content suggestions and they all benefit from offering multiple options. There is often no such thing as a singular "best".

    So, my opinion of this list is that, unfortunately, while it is informative by listing names of software, it offers zero description as to why you've deemed it best. As I said, often times software has trade-offs, and that allows a competitor can be a better choice when those weaker areas are more important to a user. I suggest thinking about that and improving to fit that into your site.

    But again, repos exist that already cover this in depth. So try to be different. Perhaps do reviews, add screenshots, and do more than those repo readmes can.

  • Yeah, JPEG uses a convolution to effectively average the values. I think there are other ways, though I cannot remember the context or file format, which use some interesting concepts from linear algebra. I recall a professor telling me about using singular value decomposition in the process. But that's a different topic.

    I didn't know WEBP also supports lossy compression. That makes it even more flexible.

  • Not really.

    JPEG is a lossy compression format. It loses information to reduce filesize.

    PNG is a lossless compressed format. It serves as a well-rounded format for general purpose image compression without the loss of information. The downside is the image can be much large in file size.

    SVG is a vector graphic, as you seem to be aware. These files have what is effectively infinite resolution, but can be significantly larger in filesize, depending on the circumstances.

    WEBP is a more efficient lossless compression format. It is analogous to PNG, but smaller file size. Additionally, as you stated, it can also be used for animated graphics,like GIF formats.

    I think WEBP is a decent format and is significantly more modern than PNG. That being said, however, the main issue is the lack of modern integration and adaptation for newer image formats.

    Personally, I use whatever. The only exception is when 8 need to store images on github in a repository. Then, I will typically convert to webp and optimise the image to reduce the file size as much as possible.

  • I hate BNPY so much... I deleted my after pay account, which means I can no long use their services unless I get in contact with support to reopen my account. I did it to explicitly make it near impossible for me to be tempted. It worked. There were times I felt regret, but it was 100% the smartest move.

    Then, PayPal introduced pay in 4... All my hard work went right down the drain. I can't afford this shit but fuck it's hard when you're clinically depressed.

  • For the most part, you can over generalise by saying it causes me to obsess/hyper focus on these topics.

  • Yeah, I am also a programmer. I'm nearing the end of a double degree in mathematics and computer science. Finding a new video at this point is honestly exciting because I've seen pretty much everything! (or so it feels)
