    • 𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern 19h (What's really hilarious about all this is that even though we've spent a painful month on this, to a reader, this all looks 𝘦𝘹𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘭𝘺 the same—images already displayed and could be popped up! PDFs & web pages already popped up! Videos already popped up! What's new here?)

    • 𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern 22h (Also, LibreOffice by default always dumps the convert doc into ./... along with all files inside the document. Apparently they *used* to do the sensible thing of inlining them into the HTML, as I expected it to, but they changed, for unclear reasons. At least there's a option.)

    • 𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern 22h A nightmare feature cross-cutting across all systems, while hitting a bunch of random bugs. 180MB HTML files. Linux Chromium PDF view ignores Adobe commands but only in iframes. LibreOffice crashes on one specific spreadsheet. No mobile PDF. Safari event bugs. Nitter error lies.

    • 𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern 22h We also finally fixed the <video> poster problems & made them clickable *and* lazy (believe it or not, they implemented posters without lazy image options); provide HTML versions of doc/docx/csv/xlsx to render in addition to PDF (but disabling PDF on mobile bc lol mobile); etc.

    • 𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern 22h eg is basically ~180MB of animated GIFs. This has 3 benefits: we can transclude the .html, which is usually <1MB, and the images/videos won't immediately download; no text encoding overhead (−18MB); & we can optimize the files eg w/gifsicle (−15MB?).

    • 𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern 23h One side-effect of expanding file-transcludes to documents is that the HTML snapshots can be 182MB. A user should not download 200MB just by scrolling a little out of curiosity! So, we have a script to unpack SingleFile snapshots & make them lazy:

    • 𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern Feb 13 Another useful script: just asking GPT-4-V if an image would look better with some more whitespace margin: (I often upload copied figures or screenshots or generated graphs where they really need another 50px around the edges to look good.)

    • 𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern Feb 13 That is, a LZMA compressor may not be good enough because it is still weak on small variations of boilerplate, while a LLM would be able to see through that and compress it all away, revealing the real redundancy due to poor design/language/ecosystem.

    • 𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern Feb 3 Proposal: 'novelty nets'. Generative models generate too many 'same-y' samples, but doing some sort of explicit nearest-neighbor lookup is too slow. So: approximate the function of distance-calculation with another NN. (It's NNs all the way down... 😉)

    • 𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern Feb 1 (It might seem obvious that it would have such things, since it seems to have everything, but it didn't occur to me that it would until GPT-4 suggested using SSIM. My install didn't actually have that, but PSNR works well enough.)

    • 𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern Feb 1 I finally got around to figuring out a heuristic for when to convert PNG→JPG images. Turns out ImageMagick ships with perceptual similarity/losses (eg PSNR), so you can just write a script to compare everything! Saves ~540MB so far. Also makes 'gallery' pages more feasible.

    • 𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern Feb 1 (Instead, we've mostly seen complaints from the Chinese side that they are data-impoverished and it's unfair how Western DL can scrape all this English text data so easily. Apparently 1.4b terminally-online Chinese... don't... write... enough... text? That seems interesting?)

    • 𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern Feb 1 One consequence of pretending these falsified predictions about Chinese DL never happened is undertheorizing of *why*. eg. *every* China bull case claimed that China bigtech's DL would be supercharged by privacy-invasion/huge private datasets. But.. that didn't happen? at all?
