Bringing the thrill of live music to deaf audiences – with the help of air guitar

https://web.brid.gy/r/https://www.positive.news/society/bringing-the-thrill-of-live-music-to-deaf-audiences-with-the-help-of-air-guitar/

Back in 2020, I backed a Kickstarter for Inspirisles because it was an incredible idea. Using a TTRPG, to teach BSL (British Sign Language) and ASL (American Sign Language). Since then, the creator has gone on to add Overisles and is currently working on Underisles which are continuations.

Экономия токенов на grep: индекс кода для AI-агентов на Rust + tree-sitter + SQLite + MCP

История идеи проекта Сидел я и делал чанкирование разбора конфигурации 1С в PostgreSQL. Выгрузка конфы мне досталась с 43 расширениями и ноль документации по этим расширениям после 5 команд разработки. Ну, нужно было её разобрать, обогатить бизнес-терминами и превратить во что-то удобоваримое вроде как для RAG. Было всё это долго, нудно, на Питоне, с помощью локальной LLM. Сам я в настоящий момент 1с-ник, но начинал я в своё время с MSSQL-2000 (если кто-то помнит такой), T-SQL, PowerScript, Pascal и пр. романтики. Сидел я, думал о светлом будущем, когда с помощью RAG локальная моделька будет мне писать скрипты, и даже без ошибок (до некоторой степени это получилось). Ну как-то слово за слово, и мне подумалось: есть же семантический поиск по RAG, реализуется MCP-сервером. По сути это запросы — точные, но довольно медленные. А почему тогда во всех остальных случаях, работая с выгрузкой напрямую, модель раз за разом лезет в переборщики файлов — пусть правильно написанные и крайне оптимизированные, но всё же переборщики? КОТОРЫЕ ТРАТЯТ МАССУ ТОКЕНОВ ТУПО НА ЧТЕНИЕ ДЛЯ ПОИСКА?! Почему нельзя это делать запросами в базу данных — нормальными, дешёвыми, точными? И вспомнил я заодно старую идею: когда-то файловую систему в Windows (проект WinFS, времён Vista) хотели сделать похожей на БД, чтобы радикально ускорить работу с файлами. Идею потом свернули, и она как-то забылась. НО я не забыл :):) Идея-то была интересная. Итого — нужно было дать модели инструмент, который заметно экономил бы токены и ускорял поиск данных (особенно в больших массивах кода). И подумалось мне, что не один я такой — есть целый коллектив разработчиков, которому такой инструмент может пригодиться. Поэтому Бог с ним, с Питоном, будем писать на Rust, потому что Rust — это база! (с)

The new UK television dating show boosting deaf representation

Happy National BSL Day!

On 28 April 2022, British Sign Language (BSL) was recognised in law in the UK, following years of campaigning led by the Deaf community.

We’re celebrating BSL, Deaf culture, and the importance of early access to language for Deaf children and their families.

#NationalBSLDay #BSL #DeafCommunity #DeafCulture #Accessibility

Today I got to use some of the sign language I have learnt through the RNID Connect box I have been getting (link below).

I was at a funeral and there was a Deaf man there who was delighted when I tried to use some of the words I knew and we had a simple conversation.

It has made me want to learn more!

UK folks, have you ever wondered about BSL?

I discovered recently that the RNID do a thing called RNID:Connect, where they will send you out basic sign language stuff and info about how to communicate well with deaf people.

I have had 3 months worth now, and it is a delight when the envelope drops through the letterbox. I know more sign language than I have ever known, and it delights me

You can find more details at https://rnid.org.uk/get-involved/rnid-connect/

One of our sons is losing his hearing, so now I can add learning British Sign Language to my polyglot life. 😂

Some of the signs are really sensible.

Horse for example is basically “G G” created by holding the letter G and moving the fists in a vertical circle twice (Young English children call a horse a GeeGee, prounced as hard G, or J’s).
Rabbit is the bunny ears on topof your head.
Fish is a swimming motion sideways with one flat hand.

Taking it slowly, but it’s fun so far. 😇
