Hello, I would like to share a Rust implementation of the Zstandard seekable format I've been working on. Regular zstd compressed files consist of a single frame, meaning you have to start decompression at the beginning. The seekable format splits compressed data into a series of independent frames, each compressed individually, so that decompression of a section in the middle of an archive only requires zstd to decompress at most a frame's worth of extra data, instead of the entire archive. I started working with the seekable format because I wanted to resume downloads of big zstd…

For the past few months, I’ve been working on a new Layer 1 blockchain designed to solve what I see as the fundamental trilemma in the space: achieving strong privacy, infinite scalability, and post-quantum security simultaneously. The result is NERV: a private-by-default, horizontally scalable blockchain that replaces Merkle trees with 512-byte neural state embeddings, proven inside Halo2 circuits and attested in hardware enclaves. Key technical innovations: Neural State Embeddings Instead of Merkle trees, the entire state of a shard is compressed into a 512-byte vector using a transformer…

Problem JSON/NDJSON is everywhere in data platforms, but compression usually breaks searchability. You either keep queryable raw stores (high I/O/egress) or compress into gz/zstd blobs (cheap to store, painful to probe). The “cloud tax” shows up as wasted reads. What I built (SEE — Semantic Entropy Encoding) A schema-aware, searchable compression codec for JSON that keeps exists/pos lookups fast while still compressing. Internals: structure-aware delta + dictionaries, a PageDir + mini-index to jump to relevant pages, and a tuned Bloom filter that skips ~99% of pages.…

Hi HN, I’m building SEE (Semantic Entropy Encoding): a searchable compression format for JSON/NDJSON. Goal: reduce the “data tax” (storage/egress) and “CPU tax” (decompress/parse) by keeping JSON searchable while compressed, with page-level random access. I just published a proof-first evaluation release: Offline DEMO ZIP (~10 min): prints compression ratios + skip rates + lookup latency (p50/p95/p99) DD pack: audit/repro evidence (decode mismatch=0, extended mismatch=0, audit PASS) Latest release:…

Hi HN, I’m a recent CS graduate. During the past few months I wrote BinaryRPC, an open-source RPC framework in modern C++20 focused on low-latency, binary WebSocket messaging. Why I built it * Wanted first-class session support, pluggable QoS levels and a simple middleware chain (global, specific, multi handler) without extra JSON/XML parsing. * Easy developer experience A quick feature list * Binary WebSocket frames – minimal overhead * Built-in session layer (login / reconnect / heartbeat) * QoS1 / QoS2 with automatic ACK & retry * Plugin system – rooms, msgpack, etc.…

Hi All, I released an EVM/Solidity decompiler recently, here: http://www.eveem.org/ Since it uses symbolic execution underneath, the results are quite awesome. There is also an api that delivers a .json / middle language representation of every contract here: http://eveem.org/code/{{address}}.json The plan is to open-source it as soon as I clean up the code a bit. Spent the last two month crunch-time to get it delivered from scratch :)

Getting web3 data out of Ethereum nodes or node services is excruciatingly slow (at least days if not weeks). I had wanted a way to just download the blocks quickly since I started exploring the web3 space. Took me a bunch of trial and errors to get to a way where I can parse all the blocks since genesis within 12 hours. But, instead of moving on to the next thing, I put this service together over the last few days, so everyone can benefit.

Hello all To preface this is just something I've been making as a learning exercise, so all feedback is appreciated. This is a tool that converts JSON schemas into TypeScript utility classes for use in Deno. Automatic Type Generation: Typescript interfaces for the compressed and uncompressed versions of your data. Compression & Decompression: Compress and decompress your data. Validation: Built-in data validation using Ajv ensures your data adheres to the schema. Reusability: Once generated, the utility classes can be used in other Deno projects. It currently only supports a subset of JSON…

We are pleased to launch a public preview of an open source JSON-LD database which combines the simplicity of a document db with the analytical power of semantic graph. We hope it is approachable for most any developer while having the capabilities, when needed, for data interoperability, embedded cell-level security (ReBAC style), rich shape/schema restrictions, data provenance (time travel), and fact inferencing. Why did our team at Fluree build this? Data is increasingly critical for great decision making, AI, and more. The way we typically store and manage data, mainly as an…

Hey HN! Erik here from banana.dev We’ve trained a small(ish) language model on structured extraction, and today we’re launching a playground for it at https://anythingtojson.com. Give it a try! This model continues our work on structured generation, following last week’s launch of Fructose[1], a python client for strongly-typed LLM responses. There seem to be two distinct halves of the problem intended to be solved by Fructose and structured generation: 1. the reasoning ability of the model, such as performing chain of thought, creative acts, and natural language tasks. In a way,…
