The video [https://www.magyaradam.com/wp/?page_id=806] blew my mind. I can only image he reconstructed the video by first reconstructing one frame's worth of slits — then shifting them over by one column and adding the next slit data.

None of the shots in that video are using Slit Scan technique. It’s using a technique called Mean Stack Mode to get the average pixel value across multiple frames, over a rolling selection of an input video.

DeltaDB sounds of being a >git innovation for coding itself, and would fulfill Zed's promises in Nathan Sobo's debate/discussion with Steve Yegge recently.

Seems to solve a real problem which is growing rapidly, both in the old way and in the new way ... if it can overcome _slop_ in LLM chats, and the sheer enormity of code/data ahead. Trying to picture how coherence will survive.

With claims/hype/concern floating around that >90% of code will be LLM-generated within 3-6 months, with the insinuation/tone [1] that the same amount of code will be written by humans as now ( at least at first ) but LLM code will radically grow to dilute the space ( as is happening ) ... seems like DeltaDB being done right/well is going to be do-or-die on whether coherence remains possible!

Could you link to the Sobo/Yegge debate? Is it this? https://youtu.be/j2goZBL156Q?si=S1A2XO_HxL7fpeVU

Super simplistic example, but say i mention my Daughter, who is 9.

Then mention she is 10,

a few years later she is 12 but now i call her by her name.

I have struggled to get any of the RAG approaches to handle this effectively. It is also 3 entries, but 2 of them are no longer useful, they are nothing but noise in the system.

I could be wrong, but this seems to be exactly what Zep’s “Graphiti” library is made for, build as a semantic temporal knowledge graph.

I've never heard of companies using Obsidian. Notion isn't really marketed or suitable for individuals (even if their free plan says otherwise).

Notion is used individually by a lot of students

I just sent my Manus agent to run this across 20 instances. Interesting to see how many instances failed installation.

Anyone know why these would return “ Google asks for a login, sleeping 20 minutes.”?

I'm starting to think the short software support isn't a bug, it's a feature. They want the car to feel obsolete in 5 years so you're pushed into buying the next model. It's the smartphone sales model, but for a $50,000 purchase.

My 5 year old hyundai has had two engines and three catalytic converters, so this checks out.

I've been using Kokoro TTS with the CLI app, audiblez, mentioned in the "Similar Projects" section of the README. The model is fast and delivers impressive quality for its small size. Some issues I have faced, however, are: a) It doesn't distinguish periods at the end of sentences from the dots in abbreviations such as "Mr." or "Mrs." The result is an awkward pause between "Mr." and the name. b) It doesn't handle ellipses well. c) Words are pronounced the same way regardless of context.

Look into SSML phoneme tags. Some TTS supports it. That was you can use a powerful LLM to fix these issues ahead of TTS

Elevenlabs has a feature for a "full cast"-type generation, where different characters will get different voices. It's certainly not automatically sensitive to dialect though.

It's probably possible with current systems to do though. I believe there are TTS systems that can use context/prompting to change emphasis and other speech qualities, though I'm not sure how reliably.

fudged71 · 16 days ago
I don't think they do it automatically, though. I think you need to piece apart the transcript in their tool to decide which voice to use where.
