Just adding, this is completely the opposite to what the original blogspam article says. I think the references to the "Poisoned Chalice", should be updated to replace Macbeth with KX. The promise, (and delivery) of a hyper efficient way to analyse data that kdb/q gives you will always lead to final regret.
Neither Claude Sonet 3.5 or 3.7 could solve this correctly unless you add to the prompt “ Prove it with the js analysis tool, please use an efficient combinatorial algorithm to find the solution”… and I had to correct 3.7 because it was not following the instructions as 3.5 did
Given the recent discussions about hi-fi headphone misleading marketing https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36377875, and how hard it is to quantify quality, I found this resource a while ago and loved how they tear them apart and fixed the shortcomings of $40 headphones with simple hacks like adding a coffee filter on the cup to make them sound better than $500 models
Got some SHP9500 open ear headphones, as far as I can tell of outstanding quality for the money, $39.99. It’s true that bass is quite soft but I find myself jamming out for longer sessions because they are very comfortable. There are various hacks and mods out there for these as well. I highly recommend these headphones for good bang for the buck ratio.
After purchasing the Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO, I discovered the Superlux HD 662 EVO on this website and decided to buy them for $38 to see how they would compare. I was pleasantly surprised by the significant difference in quality, considering the Superlux headphones were almost five times cheaper. This experience led me to return the Beyerdynamic headphones and approach overpriced headphone reviews with more skepticism.
Reviews of Beyerdynamic headphones shouldn't tell you they're good without also telling you they have poor audio tuning with a treble peak that makes things sound "sibilant".
You might be the kind of person who puts an EQ in your headphone path, but most people should go for something more neutral instead.
I don't know what in my comment made you assume I use an EQ.
As a first-time Hi-Fi headphone buyer, the reviews on Amazon and Youtube didn't surface the nuances of the different headphone models using quantitative information as DIY-Audio-Heaven does.
Shameless plug. I open-sourced https://snapdir.org/ to explore how to solve these exact issues.
It's an early prototype to gather feedback around the ergonomics of the interface and the manifest format, and I would love to learn if people might find it useful enough for the use cases where LFS falls short.
The performance is directly related to the number of files you track. The first time it runs, it will be slow for large datasets, but incremental changes can use the local cache to speed up things.
That said, I built the bash version as a proof-of-concept with the idea of implementing it using Zig once I'm happy with the tool's usability.
