Show HN: Hacker News on a Train Station Style Flip Board Although the page itself is more just fun to have made and look at (I like the flip sound), the fun part is how I made it to verify the (and I hate to say it) vibe host service I've been working on. The recent flip board back and forth's on Twitter (X) are what inspired me. The idea here is that people (like me or you) can create something neat like this, and others can remix it, change it and publish their own version. This is that all in action and it worked great. I wrote a bl…
Show HN: Overfitted a 900KB Transformer to Compress a 100MB CSV into 7MB I built an experiment that uses an overfitted transformer and arithmetic coding to compress individual files. Instead of training the model to generalize, I train a 900KB transformer to memorize a single file and predict the next byte. Those predictions are fed into an arithmetic coder to produce the compressed output. On a 100MB NYC taxi CSV, it compresses to about 7MB (~0.5 bits/byte). On a 100MB slice of enwik9, it compresses to about 21MB (~1.68 bits/byte). It's p…
Show HN: Autofit2 – End-to-end pipeline for multilingual text classification Hi HN, Stefan here. autofit2 is a project I have been using at my previous company and is now opensourced. It has been used extensively in automated text moderation, but can be applied to any text/document classification task. We had success modeling offensive texts in 20+ languages (cf. github.com/neospe/dataload for all the datasets). It's an integrated pipeline for lightweight multilingual text classification, covering preprocessing, training, and evaluation. I…
Show HN: I created a Scrabble-like word game with simple rules and fun combos When I was in school, my teacher used to play this game to our class. You add one letter turnwise and try to make a word. Later, I tried searching for this game but didn't find the exact match anywhere. The closest was Scrabble, but it was too complicated. So, I decided to build my own. I did make some modifications to make the game more challenging and fun. Back then, we would start with a blank board and also score 2 letter words. Here, the game gets prefilled …
