This is a super cool leaderboard for lossless text compression via NLP (and yes, that includes AI)! The top solution manages to compress the first GB of the English Wikipedia to a whopping 10.7% of its original size, including the compression program itself!

As i coded on OuroborosDB i noticed that i need a very fast queue for a rather unique architectural design decision.

I try to build the network module in such a way that i can test the behavior completely deterministic while “simulating” entire clusters in a single process.For specific posts, I added an audio version to enhance accessability and maybe it is just nice to have something read it to you.

I am using Kokoro-TTS which is the first open weight TTS model that has sufficient quality for me to use it on my blog.I forgot to mention that i released a new tool for my project ouroboros-db, so here it is:
The “OuroborosDB Overhead Calculator” is a little tool which helps you to calculate the overhead of erasure coding systems while also considering the overhead of indexes and the blocks themselves. It is kinda fun to play around with so give it a try!

I try to write down my thoughts and ideas Somewhat structured to have it as a reference for later and i publish it to give this information a chance to help other and to get feedback from the community.
If you have feedback you can write me on my Mastodon.In the midst of working on my project, ouroboros-db, I realized I needed a straightforward way to locate other nodes using the same RSA key. That’s when PathfinderBeacon came into being and that i release to the public with these words.

Since Bryan has started selling food replacement products aimed at promoting longevity, I am inclined to interpret his statements as being influenced by his interest in selling these products. In my view, all food replacement products are scams, and none can match the health benefits of a whole food, plant-based diet.
-->The Evolution Of What It Means To Be Human
TLDR:
The article “The Evolution Of What It Means To Be Human” by Nathan Gardels, editor-in-chief of Noema Magazine, explores the concept of human identity in the context of our interactions with the natural cosmos and the environment we have formed through technology and culture. The author argues that what it means to be human is not a constant, but is continually constituted, altered, and re-constituted through our interface with an open and evolving world.
