Show HN: I invented a new generative model and got accepted to ICLR 404 by diyer22 | 46 comments on Hacker News. I invented Discrete Distribution Networks, a novel generative model with simple principles and unique properties, and the paper has been accepted to ICLR2025! Modeling data distribution is challenging; DDN adopts a simple yet fundamentally different approach compared to mainstream generative models (Diffusion, GAN, VAE, autoregressive model): 1. The model generates multiple outputs simultaneously in a single forward pass, rather than just one output. 2. It uses these multiple outputs to approximate the target distribution of the training data. 3. These outputs together represent a discrete distribution. This is why we named it "Discrete Distribution Networks". Every generative model has its unique properties, and DDN is no exception. Here, we highlight three characteristics of DDN: - Zero-Shot Conditional Generation (ZSCG). - One-dimensional discrete latent repr...

Show HN: Timelinize – Privately organize your own data from everywhere, locally 444 by mholt | 108 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN -- thanks for showing interest in this. Happy to collaborate on this project. I'm hoping to get it stable soon so my own family can start using it. I've been working on this for about 10+ years, nights and weekends. It's been really slow going since I only have my own personal data to test it with. I just don't love that my data is primarily stored on someone else's computer up in the cloud. I want my own local copy at least. And while I can download exports from my various accounts, I don't want them to just gather dust and rot on my hard drive. So, Timelinize helps keep that data alive and relevant and in my control. I don't have as much worry if my cloud accounts go away. Hopefully you'll find it useful, and I hope we can collaborate. (PS. I'm open to changing the name. Never really liked this one...)
