Thank you! Never researched it before. It's a pretty wholesome story that he ended up with two friends.

Can you please elaborate? I hadn't found any sources and Google points to this post as the #1 use of "Neuralisee".

Are there improvements in how memory_limit works? I often had DuckDB get OOM killed because it went beyond its limit. It's definitely one of the reasons why I usually have an AI tune the environment for my datasets.

Thank you! It seems to be what I'm looking for.

I just tried building and running it. Surprisingly many websites already load fine, though Youtube doesn't and Vimeo/Reddit comment section crashed it. Still, the results are quite encouraging! It takes ~6GB of HDD to build it.

I've recently been wondering: could you re-compress gzip to a better compression format, while keeping all instructions that would let you recover a byte-exact copy of the original file? I often work with huge gzip files and they're a pain to work with, because decompression is slow even with zlib-ng.

Thanks! Any ideas why it didn't get merged? Clearly 7-Zip has some development activity going on and so does this fork...

I worry that 7-Zip is going to lose relevance because lack of zstd support. zlib's performance is intolerable for large files and zlib-ng's SIMD implementation only helps here a bit. Which is a shame, because 7-Zip is a pretty amazing container format, especially with its encryption and file splitting capabilities.

I don't want this to sound cynical, but do we have any examples where the US government successfully got the corporations to actually increase security, as opposed to just gaming the regulations to make more money instead?

I'm surprised by the performance. Doesn't qemu have dynamic recompilation capabilities?

This inspired me to do this experiment:

dd if=/dev/zero bs=1K count=$(( 256 * 3 )) of=a.ext4

mfks.ext4 a.ext4

mkdir a

sudo mount a.ext4 a

cd a

sudo chown 1000:1000 .

python3 -c 'open("a", "wb").write(b"\xff\x00\x00" * 2000)'

python3 -c 'open("b", "wb").write(b"\xff\xff\x00" * 2000)'

python3 -c 'open("c", "wb").write(b"\xff\x00\xff" * 2000)'

cd ..

sudo umount a

(echo -n 'P6\n512 512\n255\n' ; cat a.ext4 ) > a.ppm

convert a.ppm a.png

The resulting a.png is reversible - you can convert it back to .ppm file, skip first 15 bytes and you should get a valid .ext4 back.
