For fun, here's a copy-paste-into-devtools version: (async()=>{const r=await fetch(`data:text/plain;base64,H4sIAAAAAAAAE61UYW/TMBD9K5m1D7a4mbWwCiUKaGMFpA4xbQw+TNPkOZfGzLUj+7IQTfnvKGlXjQESSHzznd+9d753soqd00nZOE3Gu6Tm4t4iJZg

Thanks for trying it, sounds like a bug I've been running into for a couple days where the wasm stream decoder does a bad memory access. I made some buffer lifetime fixes, next up a more complete stress test and fuzzing to see if I can

Depends on the zoom. With this setup you can transfer about 0.1 B/s per pixel of 60 FPS video. So a 65" screen and 1080p camera at 10 meters away would max out at 2 kB/s with the normal lens (26mm equiv) or 45 kB/s with

The handshake details are passed alongside the data so that if a direct connection is successful, the network races the optical transfer.

This is cool and minimalistic! I've been noodling on https://qr-send.com which is a slightly more polished version of the "erasure fountain codes + stream of QRs"-idea, inspired by divan's Txqr posts but usin

If you want to mess with this at home, I've been vibe coding https://github.com/kig/formalanswer to plug theorem provers into an LLM call loop. It's pretty early dev but it does have a logic rap battle mode.

"We leverage APIs like CUDA streams to avoid blocking the GPU while the host processes requests.", so I'm guessing it would let the other GPU threads go about their lives while that one waits for the ACK from the CPU. I once

The researchers found that certain artifacts associated with LLM model generations could potentially indicate whether or not a model is hallucinating. Their results showed that the distributions of these artifacts were different between hal

Hi! This is a fun little library I wrote a few years back to make a minimal PostgreSQL client. It's around 400 lines of commented code ( https://github.com/kig/quickgres/blob/master/index.js ), so

The money that goes to the state in taxes is spent by the state on services provided by the citizens of the state. The alternative is the money going to a tax haven bank account of a multinational. Pat yourself on the back knowing that your

The biggest difference is that FLIF is an image encoder, SPIF/Multires is a container format. So you can cram lossy 20x compression ratio JPEGs into Multires, optimized for each resolution. Or you could put a simplified SVG for low-res

The ANGLE shader compiler used in most WebGL implementations already does enforce that loops terminate. The problem is that GPUs don't / didn't have HW interrupts to allow switching between tasks. It's not easily solvabl

Good catch, you can break it by translating JS like this to Finnish: var muu = 0; -> muu muu = 0; and compile back to JS -> var var = 0; I'll need to extend the compiler to escape reserved words in the target language.

I did a quick Finnish translation as a lark, then found the BabylScript project and added their translations to the page. The main difference between the approaches is that BabylScript does things in a more Right Way (they do punctuation, n
