And they might have to gasp! get an honest job!
That's a pretty wide brush you are painting with there

Really cool to see this here. I always loved these in movies. There are a bunch of really interesting artists making use of ink ink liquid, oils, chemical reactions etc that create beautiful abstract pieces. Fitting for HN, Roman De Giuli even creates his own machines. Check out Emitter https://youtu.be/VMd608zCEWc
xfeeefeee commented on Windows: Prefer the Native API over Win32 codeberg.org/ziglang/zig/... · Posted by u/nikbackm
The one thing that really benefits from using NT Native API over Win32 is listing files in a directory. You get to use a 64KB buffer to get directory listing results, while Win32 just does the one at a time. 64KB buffer size means fewer system calls.
(Reading the MFT is still faster. Yes, you need admin for that)
Oh hey this is exactly why I made node-windows-readdir-fast - especially with the way node works, this makes reading filenames and length and times around 50x faster

Windows only of course, but the concept is sound. Was also fun benchmarking to find out that parsing a binary stream was faster than creating a ton of objects through the node api (or json deserialization)

Over five years of paid SoundCloud here, I thought something was wrong with my setup. If this continues I'll have to cancel, basically. What a pain.
On a personal project I've decided to do the opposite and every commit message is meow or mlem or hisssss or purrrr etc

I can't wait until it is easy to rotoscope / greenscreen / mask this stuff out accessibly for videos. I had tried Runway ML but it was... lacking, and the webui for fixing parts of it had similar issues.
I'm curious how this works for hair and transparent/translucent things. Probably not the best, but does not seem to be mentioned anywhere? Presumably it's just a straight line or vector rather than alpha etc?
I would like to see Raku (https://raku.org) at least mentioned in the list of languages to be aware of. Why?
- Raku has built in Grammars so it is a great place to do early iteration of your parser
- Raku is objects and type classes all the way down (as explained here https://gist.github.com/raiph/849a4a9d8875542fb86df2b2eda89296 )
- RakuAST development is well advanced (use v6.e.PREVIEW) with the Slangify module to accelerate development of sub languages (Slangs)
For those unaware, Raku is the evolution of Perl 6, basically. It's honestly a beautiful and seductive language. At the same time it terrifies me.
I'm having a hard time understanding what exactly the graphs are showing. Is it just average pixel color per frame?
Does this analyze the video itself with AI or does it just use the text / description and other metadata? Would love to know more details on how that works
