    But of course ^__^

    I was reading up on the original Kodak Photo CD format: it was wild. Chroma subsampling, of course, and then space was further saved by saving all of the various sizes of the photo (each photo could be viewed at different resolutions from thumbnail up to ~6MP) as a kind of interlacing scheme, and then #Huffman encoding on top of all that.

    They also used a weird RGB scheme that allowed for some luminances to go above 100% in order to ("safely", heh) over-drive CRTs to produce really bright highlights.

    Crazy stuff. Of course, this came out the same year as JPEG, so that's why they didn't just use that.

    On the ZX Spectrum I think the Frequency Analysis of a string of text may be the easiest bit.
    I cheated a bit and POKED memory addresses (still all BASIC) rather than get messy and chuck arrays of strings around.

  13. #AGBIC Day 38

    This is the second time I've tried out #Huffman coding on the #pico8. My function for getting my Huffman tree uses 67 tokens, and my function for decompressing Huffman-encoded data uses 121 tokens.

    I'll be using this to store the dialogue in my game.

  14. While I disagree with u/spez's actions, I understand his perspective. Reddit's most valuable asset is its curated text data for training Large Language Models like ChatGPT. Closing down the API protects that asset. He's likely betting that subreddit moderation will be solved with LLMs so the mods that generated that data are of little concern going forward. There will be only one chance to monetize this data asset.

    The reason I disagree with u/spez's actions is because I don't believe this asset belongs to him. I'm sure he's protected from a legal perspective but from a philosophical perspective, when a user writes an idea on an online forum, they don't forfeit ownership of that idea. People who contributed to Reddit even 12 months ago had no idea their thoughts will be monetized and consumed by LLMs. We need laws to protect people's data and to democratize data assets.

    I also wish u/spez would just be honest about what he's doing. Telling possibly career ending lies about developers and disregarding the mods that made Reddit is inexcusable. It's clear that Reddit has succeeded despite u/spez's leadership.

    I can't wrap my head around the name #Huffman standing for anything but compression.

    So I'm angry at that Elon-emulating moron, chiefly for ruining the #eponym.

    But also grateful for the waves of new #fediverse users.

  20. #Reddit CEO praises #ElonMusk’s cost-cutting as protests rock platform

    Steve #Huffman said in an interview that Elon Musk's cost-cutting at #Twitter was inspiring and that the two have chatted "a handful of times."

    "Huffman said he saw Musk’s handling of Twitter, which he purchased last year, as an example for Reddit to follow."

  21. The guy who made his fortune on the back of millions of hours of donated work by mods thinks the mods are too powerful 🤣

    Huffman has been caught out lying multiple times now. I've lost all trust in Reddit thanks to him.

  22. I read years ago that the most successful corporate leaders have high emotional intelligence and often think about the future.

    The corporate culture of Reddit is to not think things through. Whether that is in how they handle *people* or lousy software engineering by not adequately testing capitalistic features like their automated site moderation which bans long term good users over mistakes.

    #Huffman is a man of average intelligence who got lucky as a young adult with a web site he put up. He isn't a thinker.

    He is a less successful copy of Mark Zuckerberg. They are both the Beverly Hillbillies of wealthy CEOs.
