Does anyone use it for family photo backup for generation to pass on? I am struggling to come up with a good back up solution that last ages.

There is also https://github.com/wingertge/macerator if you need f16 support too

"proves it" ?? What kind of science is that?

Show HN: Wordchipper – Rust BPE tokenizer, 9x faster than tiktoken

Hey HN,We're ZSpaceLabs, Burn framework contributors working to make Rust a first-class AI/ML stack.We just released wordchipper, a Rust-native BPE tokenizer for the OpenAI GPT-2 tokenizer family (r50k, cl100k, o200k). On a 64-core machine with the o200k vocab (GPT-4o / GPT-5 tokenizer), we measured 2.4 GiB/s, about 9.2× faster than tiktoken-rs. Through the Python bindings it is typically 2–4×...

Check out https://github.com/tracel-ai/burn project! It makes deploying models across different platforms easy. It uses Rust instead of Python.

Re:What Is the Fourier Transform? on Thursday September 04, 2025 @08:48PM (#45133886)
I think the best explanation and understanding I received about Fourier Transform was from studying linear algebra.

The Fourier Transform equation essentially maps a signal from the time domain onto orthogonal complex sinusoidal basis functions through projection.

And the article does not even mention this. =)

Can't wait till Amazon is hit with a class action on showing ads on my Echo Show that I can't disable anymore.
