domoritz commented on Matrix messaging gaining ground in government IT   theregister.com/2026/02/0... · Posted by u/rbanffy

I wonder why matrix isn't more widerspread at this point. It's open, it's e2ee, it works, it has client lib for integration with any tool..

What makes it not more popular ? Is it the federated approach ? The client applications that don't look really fancy ?

The UX has many rough edges especially in the default element apps. UX was the primary reason my university department passed on switching to matrix from slack so far.

Willing to bet most columnar stores are used for time series.
domoritz · 2 months ago
I suspect most use of columnar databases is OLAP, which is different from what people usually mean when they say time series data.

> I want to be charitable and assume genuine oversight rather than "benchmaxxing", probably an easy to miss thing if you are new to benchmarking

I don't doubt that it's an oversight, it does however say something about the researchers when they didn't look at a single output where they would have immediately caught this.

So many data probes would be solved if everyone looked at a few outputs instead of only metrics.

Urg, the bar charts to not start at 0. It's making it impossible to compare across model sizes. That's a pretty basic chart design principle. I hope they can fix it. At least give me consistent y scales!

The interesting tidbit here is SynthID. While a good first step, it doesn't solve the problem of AI generated content NOT having any kind of watermark. So we can prove that something WITH the ID is AI generated but we can't prove that something without one ISN'T AI generated.

Like it would be nice if all photo and video generated by the big players would have some kind of standardized identifier on them - but now you're left with the bajillion other "grey market" models that won't give a damn about that.

I don't understand why there isn't an obvious, visible watermark at all. Yes, one could remove it but let's assume 95% of people don't bother removing the visible watermark. It would really help with seeing instantly when an image was AI generated.
domoritz commented on ArkType: Ergonomic TS validator 100x faster than Zod   arktype.io/... · Posted by u/nathan_phoenix
domoritz · a year ago
I like the idea of having types at runtime for parsing etc and generating validators in various languages. What stopped me from going there so far is that I already have TypeScript types provided for the various libraries I use. How good are the tools for importing TypeScript types into ArkType/Zod and working with types in various representations in parallel?

One would also expect that EVs wouldn't emit that many particles from brakes since the brakes typically wear much more slowly than with ICE cars.

But they are heavier. Not saying it offsets the effect but it's just not straight forward to assume either way.

Author of this paper here. Cool to see this show up on HN. Little story about this paper: Danyel and I did this while I was on an internship at Microsoft Research. The algorithm was too simple to get it published at a conference, but the technique has been adopted in a few places now, including other papers. We did some follow-up work to more efficiently compute the density and also support interactive filtering. See https://www.domoritz.de/papers/2021-KDBox-VIS.pdf.

Note, this is about layout as in "desktop publishing", not VLSI circuits.

And also not UI layout generation.
