Roads and Traveling

Roads and pathways go back very far in human history, to about 10,000 BCE. Some of these might have started out as animal trails that were then used over and over, widening until they left their marks on the landscape, some were engineered and covered over by paving or logs. Some are blended with rivers to make travel faster and able to carry more and some were dictated by rulers of empires. Some are nothing more than sunken paths now, some are still in use.

The oldest extant roads are sunken paths, many of which can be found in England as there is a tradition of maintaining public rights of way. Many of these paths connect farms to each other and also cross the country to reach important locations, such as temples and cities. One of the oldest of these is Harrow Way, or the Old Way, which connected what is now Seaton in Devon to Dover in Kent. The Old Way can be dated to somewhere between 600-450 BCE, but is believed to much older, going back into the Stone Age.

Roads that are paved with with wood can come in two types, corduroy roads that are made of logs laid across the roadway, especially across areas that tend to get extremely wet, like low lying areas and swamps. Plank roads are a newer take on that concept made with planks instead of whole logs. One of the oldest wood roads that still exists is the Corlea Trackway in Ireland, which dates to about 148 BCE and is the largest one found in Europe.

Darius I (Darius the Great) of the Achaemenid empire, who reigned from 522-486 BCE had the Royal Road build during his reign. Some parts of it appear to follow that of the Assyrian kings, who reigned from the 21st-7th century BCE, beginning with a city-state and gradually expanding into an empire, based on the eastern parts of the roadway seeming to connect points that were important to them rather than taking the most direct or easiest path. Darius did improve the roads, though, which were later improved by the Romans. It was expected that mounted couriers were expected to traverse the 2,699 km (1,677 miles) journey from Susa to Sardis in 9 days, a trip that took 90 days by foot, or approximately 30 hours by vehicle today. It was primarily a 'post road', or one that was used to transport mail rather than the mass transportation of people and goods.

In the Americas, many trails were blazed, or marked so that others could follow, quite early in history, possibly beginning by following ridge lines or large game animal paths, which followed dry ground through the forests between grazing lands and salt licks. One of the largest still extant of these trails is the Natchez Trace, or the Old Natchez Trace between Nashville, Tennessee and Natchez Mississippi and linking the Cumberland, Tennessee, and Mississippi Rivers, spanning 710 km (440 miles). Many of the trails were co-opted by European colonizers to explore and expand through the continent.

The Inca road system was the most vast and advanced transportation system in the Americas. It consisted of many paved roads, two major north-south routes with many branches cut into mountainous territory the Inca ruled over in the Andes, and around 39,900 km (24,800 miles) of roads. The best known part of this road system is the Trail to Machu Picchu. Parts of the road systems were built by cultures that lived in the areas before the Inca ruled over the area, especially the Wari culture, who lived there from about 500-1000 CE.

The Roman roads, perhaps the best known early roads, were built from about 300 BCE through the fall of the Western Roman Empire, about 400 CE. They were standardized, those standards laid down in the Law of the Twelve Tables from about 450 BCE, to 8 Roman feet (~2.37m) wide, double that around curves. In rural areas, the width was 12 Roman feet, allowing two standard width carts to pass by and allow for pedestrian traffic to continue on without interference. These tables also required private landowners to allow travelers to use their land if the roads were in disrepair, so durable roads became a very important consideration, as well as making them straight to use the least amount of materials. At its peak, the Roman roads consisted of at least 29 great military highways radiating from Rome, 327 great roads that connected provinces, and many smaller roads that comprised more than 400,000 km (260.000 miles), with over 80,500 km (50,000 miles) stone paved. Many of these are still used, being paved over with modern roads.

In China, many roads were dedicated to trade routes like the Silk Road, which began in the Han Dynasty (207 BCE-220 CE). They focused primarily on the safety of the route to make it as lucrative as it could be, so major projects like extending the Great Wall of China, which was started during the 7th century BCE, were undertaken. The Silk Road shortened the Eurasian Steppe trail, which had been used for about 2000 years, from 10,000 km (6,200 miles) to 6,400 km (4,000 miles). Other roads in China that are worth noting are the Gallery Roads through remote mountains that are made of wooden planks secured to holes drilled into cliff sides in the Qin Mountains, which were built starting around the 4th century BCE and are still in use.

[dreamcatcher-roulette]

Since I enjoy collecting things (big surprise) this year I've been working on collecting every Dreamcatcher music show performance in a quality that doesn't suck ass (aka not the seven pixels that YouTube compresses the official uploads down to). It went pretty well!

Pseudo research report under the cut (because I'm a massive nerd).

Scope

I started this project with the goal of collecting a full set of "music show performances". I didn't realise quite how ambiguous that definition is. After some deliberation I settled on the following as constituting "regular" performances:

Show Music Core

Inkigayo

The Show

Show Champion

M! Countdown

Music Bank

Simply K-Pop

Everything else I classified as misc. Most notably I left K-Force Special Show in the misc category despite there being quite a few performances on that show in the early days. This mostly came down to how I'm storing the files — I've organised the regular ones by era, but the K-Force Special Show performances frequently happened in between comebacks making them difficult to sort in that fashion. That and difficulties in ascertaining whether I do actually have all of them.

Methodology

The first step in collecting anything is finding out what you need to collect. I was surprised at how difficult it actually is to get a complete list of all of a group's music show performances. There are some fan sites which do a good job of presenting a lot of well categorised individual links to Dreamcatcher's appearances but I was hoping for something more "from the source" (aka the music shows themselves) and ideally machine readable to cross check that nothing is missing, since, for example, a collection of links to all official Inkigayo performance uploads is not a list of all Inkigayo performances (some never got official uploads). I ended up finding /r/kpop's music shows wiki fit my needs the most. The information is all in tables and sorted by music show and date which what I wanted.

Unfortunately, the main tables of /r/kpop's music show wikis only list debuts and comebacks, so I had to index and search all the individual pages to find what I was looking for. This involved spending a couple of afternoons opening up nearly 2,000 tabs of Reddit* and then downloading them using the SingleFile browser extension (Reddit rate limits you quite harshly and so I had to open a bunch of tabs, check they loaded, wait, and then repeat, which slowed it down a lot). While maybe a little overkill I did this for multiple reasons. Firstly, Reddit's search sucks, and I didn't trust it to find all instances of what I was looking for over so many pages. In contrast Everything's in-memory file content index beta is really good. But secondly, this is much more extensible, and now I can find any other group's performances as well (between 2017** and 2023).

*Reddit does not archive Simply K-Pop well at all (which caused some initial confusion), but the official Arirang website works fine as an alternative (albeit one that is somehow even slower than Reddit at opening new pages).

**Reddit's music show wiki pages start right before 2017. This is very convenient for a Dreamcatcher archivist, but, unfortunately for me, curiosity got the better of me and I did venture further out into the unknown. For 2014-2017 I have some scattered archives from various official websites, Twitter accounts, and Korean catch up services. I'm less confident in my music show data for this period in the general case but because the rough start and end dates for the two Minx promotion cycles are known I am confident enough that all the gaps I have in there are genuine gaps and that I'm not missing a performance date.

Once I had my wishlist I then had to go out and, you know, find them. And figure out what "best quality" actually means. I learned a lot about video encoding against my will. I also learned that HEVC is fucking haunted. When multiple sources were available I ranked them as follows:

2160p HEVC > 2160p h264 > 1080p HEVC (one weird edge case I didn't know what to do with) > 1080i h264 > 1080i MPEG2 > WEBDL (usually some kind of web livestream or online catch up service recording) > YouTube

Which I represented in my spreadsheet as:

This should be mostly uncontroversial, however, there is a slight complication in that the 4k broadcast copies are not all native 4k but often upscaled from the 1080 source (I can't find specifics on this as the information, if publicly accessible, would be in Korean, and there is only so much Google Translate can do, but the technical broadcasting details probably aren't public to the extend I am interested in regardless so I'm mostly basing this off information gleaned from secondary sources). As far as I can tell there exist two "grades" of upscales: one of which is upscaled by the network before being pushed out to a UHD channel, and one of which is upscaled by the end user by either recording a HD channel in 4k or running an existing recording through an upscaler. Traditionally upscales aren't very desirable due to providing no real material benefit you couldn't get from playing the 1080 copy on a 4k display yourself. Or, for people with an archival mindset like myself, because ones that actually look a bit crisper introduce "magic" pixels which may or may not have ever existed. See below for an example of this taken to the extreme (note the faces):

No one wants that, right? AND YET SOMEONE THOUGHT THAT WAS SUCH A BIG IMPROVEMENT THEY DELETED EVERYTHING ELSE, AND NOW IT REMAINS THE ONLY COPY I CAN FIND. Monsters!!! Anyway.

While upscales usually aren't desirable, I did come around to the idea that the network upscales deserve their place at the top of the list. There are a couple of points working in their favour: one is that they are, presumably, upscaled much more directly from the source, allowing them to avoid some of the data loss that being encoded into 1080i h264 and then upscaled would cause. The second is that quite a lot of them are encoded directly into HEVC, which makes the confetti and flashing lights look noticably smoother than the regular deinterlaced 1080i copies. Also, finally, as a touch of personal preference (especially in the case of 4k h264 where the second point doesn't apply), these do come pre-deinterlaced which is nicer for my chosen method of playback. Although some of those points apply to non network upscales too, the "impurity" of them far outweighs any benefit in my eyes, as I have more faith in whatever the network standard is than some random person on the internet trying to "fix" a file.

So how did I tell the difference? Also a frustratingly difficult problem, one which applies not just to spotting fake upscales but also to finding real TV recordings instead of lower quality catch up service clips. For the 1080 copies one of the biggest things was that the TV broadcast copies (unfortunately) always come through in 1080i. 1080p is suspicious. It means something has been touched (although sometimes in a way that is forgivable when nothing cleaner exists). File sizes are also a good sanity check. A single song in h264 should be in the 200-400MiB range, MPEG2 is 400MiB+. (For reference YouTube, and other inferior WEBDLs, usually come in at under 100MiB). This is a good reminder of why size does not always equal quality, because, in this scenario, worst to best is 100MiB < 450MiB < 250MiB.

On the 4k side: Music Bank, Show Music Core and Inkigayo are currently broadcast on UHD channels with a UHD variant of their channel names in the top right, which is a good indicator that something was recorded from a UHD source. (Although I've found 1080p copies recorded from UHD channels, so the presence of the logo doesn't mean no downscaling has occurred). Recent "4k" M! Countdown, Show Champion and The Show recordings, in comparison, appear identical in channel watermark to the 1080 copies. This and the fact that the only 4k copies I've found are from a source known to dabble in AI upscales means that I'm not going to trust these are genuine without further proof, and this was the main category of files which I decided against adding to my collection. (Note that The Show was in the past the only show that was broadcast in 4k, first on UMAX UHD and then on SBS F!L UHD, it is only recently that that seems to have stopped (or, no one has been recording it)). I paid less attention to the 4k file sizes than for 1080. 4k HEVC seems to come in pretty reliably at just under 1GiB, but 4k h264 is all over the place due to I think some differing quality profiles between uploaders (a range of 1GiB to nearly 3GiB). The latter is annoying because it means I can't figure out what the "true" recording should be, but I did develop an internal ranking of the trustworthiness of sources which was the tiebreaker when two differently sized 4k h264 recordings existed.

I prioritised collecting existing cuts where applicable (although many were not cut nearly as meticulously frame perfectly as I would like) but there were quite a few where I had to cut them out of full broadcast recordings myself. There were also instances where only the main performance was saved in 4k leaving interviews behind. In those cases I decided to keep the highest quality available for the bits in which it was and store the other segments separately.

Results

Alright, the fun stuff! I have successfully catalogued:

317 Dreamcatcher music show performances

34 Dreamcatcher miscellaneous appearances

46 Minx music show performances

16 Minx miscellaneous appearances

Those links go to mostly complete YouTube representations of what I found with exceptions listed in the descriptions of the playlists. You can also of course find a published version of my beautiful spreadsheet here. Finally, if you've made it this deep I would like to just quietly tell you I'm more than happy to share the originals, but please message me privately as I don't want to publicly host questionably copyrighted content on my good and morally upstanding posting images of dreamcatcher photobooks blog (for legal reasons the entire existence of this collection is a joke).

Honestly I'm pretty happy with the completeness of the collection after my first pass. The list of ones I would consider "missing" (aka not good enough quality) is:

It's almost all Simply K-Pop, which makes sense as it seems to not be archived with the same enthusiasm as the others. The missing M! Countdown, meanwhile, does kind of hurt, since it's ruining an otherwise perfect run. I'm out of ideas for now but am not going to give up on it forever, I have seen evidence that proper recordings exist, so I'm sure they have got to resurface eventually.

As can be seen in the breakdown for this section the percentage of MPEG2 recordings is also a pretty major victory, with the vast majority being h264:

For Minx things look a bit worse:

But then again I hadn't been expecting much to begin with. To be honest, watching all of these to check quality did drive me a little insane. There is a reason I don't own Love Shake and Why Did You Come To My Home, and it's not purely the irresponsible financial decision, it's the thought of spending that much money on something I actually really don't like. Watching Minx performances is amusing for a little while, but man, am I glad Dreamcatcher exists instead.

It's also evident that people were holding to completely different standards even just a few years earlier, as this is where all those MPEG2s in the overall numbers are hiding:

Future Work

While I'm confident I've successfully catalogued the "music show performances" as defined in the scope, I know there is still much more to be discovered under Misc Appearances, as those were filled in not via a predefined wish list but just by what other recordings I happened across in my search for the original goal. The obvious next step would to be a little more systematic about finding out what I'm missing in that category by scouring some Dreamcatcher specific archives, but because I've already exhausted the full collections of my two main sources of recordings I'm not confident I would uncover many more performances outside of YouTube in that way, which isn't really that appealing.

I'm probably more likely going to do something about my performance outfit images collection which has been slowly but steadily increasing over the years. I'd like to put them into a proper searchable database alongside performance dates, which would have a similar effect of cataloguing the missing performances, but with the visual element that the spreadsheet lacks.

But then again, I also might not :)

Ultimate Guide to Python Compiler

When diving into the world of Python programming, understanding how Python code is executed is crucial for anyone looking to develop, test, or optimize their applications. This process involves using a Python compiler, a vital tool for transforming human-readable Python code into machine-readable instructions. But what exactly is a Python compiler, how does it work, and why is it so important? This guide will break it all down for you in detail, covering everything from the basic principles to advanced usage.

What is a Python Compiler?

A Python compiler is a  software tool that translates Python code (written in a human-readable form) into machine code or bytecode that the  computer can execute. Unlike languages like C or Java, Python is primarily an interpreted language, which means the code is executed line by line by an interpreter. However, Python compilers and interpreters often work together to convert the source code into something that can run on your system.

Difference Between Compiler and Interpreter

Before we delve deeper into Python compilers, it’s important to understand the distinction between a compiler and an interpreter. A compiler translates the entire source code into a machine-readable format at once, before execution begins. Once compiled, the program can be executed multiple times without needing to recompile.

On the other hand, an interpreter processes the source code line by line, converting each line into machine code and executing it immediately. Python, as a high-level language, uses both techniques: it compiles the Python code into an intermediate form (called bytecode) and then interprets that bytecode.

How Does the Python Compiler Work?

The Python compiler is an essential part of the Python runtime environment. When you write Python code, it first undergoes a compilation process before execution. Here’s a step-by-step look at how it works:

1. Source Code Parsing

The process starts when the Python source code (.py file) is written. The Python interpreter reads this code, parsing it into a data structure called an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST). The AST is a hierarchical tree-like representation of the Python code, breaking it down into different components like variables, functions, loops, and classes.

2. Compilation to Bytecode

After parsing the source code, the Python interpreter uses a compiler to convert the AST into bytecode. This bytecode is a lower-level representation of the source code that is platform-independent, meaning it can run on any machine that has a Python interpreter. Bytecode is not human-readable and acts as an intermediate step between the high-level source code and the machine code that runs on the hardware.

The bytecode generated is saved in .pyc (Python Compiled) files, which are stored in a special directory named __pycache__. When you run a Python program, if a compiled .pyc file is already available, Python uses it to speed up the startup process. If not, it re-compiles the source code.

3. Execution by the Python Virtual Machine (PVM)

After the bytecode is generated, it is sent to the Python Virtual Machine (PVM), which executes the bytecode instructions. The PVM is an interpreter that reads and runs the bytecode, line by line. It communicates with the operating system to perform tasks such as memory allocation, input/output operations, and managing hardware resources.

This combination of bytecode compilation and interpretation is what allows Python to run efficiently on various platforms, without needing separate versions of the program for different operating systems.

Why is a Python Compiler Important?

Using a Python compiler offers several benefits to developers and users alike. Here are a few reasons why a Python compiler is so important in the programming ecosystem:

1. Portability

Since Python compiles to bytecode, it’s not tied to a specific operating system or hardware. This allows Python programs to run on different platforms without modification, making it an ideal language for cross-platform development. Once the code is compiled into bytecode, the same .pyc file can be executed on any machine that has a compatible Python interpreter installed.

2. Faster Execution

Although Python is an interpreted language, compiling Python code to bytecode allows for faster execution compared to direct interpretation. Bytecode is more efficient for the interpreter to execute, reducing the overhead of processing the raw source code each time the program runs. It also helps improve performance for larger and more complex applications.

3. Error Detection

By using a Python compiler, errors in the code can be detected earlier in the development process. The compilation step checks for syntax and other issues, alerting the developer before the program is even executed. This reduces the chances of runtime errors, making the development process smoother and more reliable.

4. Optimizations

Some compilers provide optimizations during the compilation process, which can improve the overall performance of the Python program. Although Python is a high-level language, there are still opportunities to make certain parts of the program run faster. These optimizations can include techniques like constant folding, loop unrolling, and more.

Types of Python Compilers

While the official Python implementation, CPython, uses a standard Python compiler to generate bytecode, there are alternative compilers and implementations available. Here are a few examples:

1. CPython

CPython is the most commonly used Python implementation. It is the default compiler for Python, written in C, and is the reference implementation for the language. When you install Python from the official website, you’re installing CPython. This compiler converts Python code into bytecode and then uses the PVM to execute it.

2. PyPy

PyPy is an alternative implementation of Python that features a Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler. JIT compilers generate machine code at runtime, which can significantly speed up execution. PyPy is especially useful for long-running Python applications that require high performance. It is highly compatible with CPython, meaning most Python code runs without modification on PyPy.

3. Cython

Cython is a superset of Python that allows you to write Python code that is compiled into C code. Cython enables Python programs to achieve performance close to that of C while retaining Python’s simplicity. It is commonly used when optimizing computationally intensive parts of a Python program.

4. Jython

Jython is a Python compiler written in Java that allows Python code to be compiled into Java bytecode. This enables Python programs to run on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), making it easier to integrate with Java libraries and tools.

5. IronPython

IronPython is an implementation of Python for the .NET framework. It compiles Python code into .NET Intermediate Language (IL), enabling it to run on the .NET runtime. IronPython allows Python developers to access .NET libraries and integrate with other .NET languages.

Python Compiler vs. Interpreter: What’s the Difference?

While both compilers and interpreters serve the same fundamental purpose—turning source code into machine-executable code—there are distinct differences between them. Here are the key differences:

Compilation Process

Compiler: Translates the entire source code into machine code before execution. Once compiled, the program can be executed multiple times without recompilation.

Interpreter: Translates and executes source code line by line. No separate executable file is created; execution happens on the fly.

Execution Speed

Compiler: Generally faster during execution, as the code is already compiled into machine code.

Interpreter: Slower, as each line is parsed and executed individually.

Error Detection

Compiler: Detects syntax and other errors before the program starts executing. All errors must be fixed before running the program.

Interpreter: Detects errors as the code is executed. Errors can happen at any point during execution.

Conclusion

The Python compiler plays a crucial role in the Python programming language by converting source code into machine-readable bytecode. Whether you’re using the default CPython implementation, exploring the performance improvements with PyPy, or enhancing Python with Cython, understanding how compilers work is essential for optimizing and running Python code effectively.

The compilation process, which includes parsing, bytecode generation, and execution, offers various benefits like portability, faster execution, error detection, and optimizations. By choosing the right compiler and understanding how they operate, you can significantly improve both the performance and efficiency of your Python applications.

Now that you have a comprehensive understanding of how Python compilers work, you’re equipped with the knowledge to leverage them in your development workflow, whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned developer.

Publicly Available Data: Open-access academic papers, government databases, and reputable news sources.

Structured Databases: Financial records, CRM data, and industry-specific repositories.

Unstructured Data: Emails, social media interactions, transcripts, and chat logs.

Before integrating any dataset, assess its credibility, relevance, and potential biases.

Filtering and Cleaning Data

Once you have identified data sources, the next step is cleaning and preprocessing. Raw data can contain errors, duplicates, and irrelevant information that can degrade model performance. Key cleaning steps include removing duplicates to ensure unique entries, correcting errors such as typos and incorrect formatting, handling missing data through interpolation techniques or removal, and eliminating noise such as spam, ads, and irrelevant content.

Data Structuring for LLM Training

Formatting and Tokenization

Data fed into an LLM should be in a structured format. This includes standardizing text formats by converting different document formats (PDFs, Word files, CSVs) into machine-readable text, tokenization to break down text into smaller units (words, subwords, or characters) for easier processing, and normalization by lowercasing text, removing special characters, and converting numbers and dates into standardized formats.

Labeling and Annotating Data

For supervised fine-tuning, labeled data is crucial. This involves categorizing text with metadata, such as entity recognition (identifying names, locations, dates), sentiment analysis (classifying text as positive, negative, or neutral), topic tagging (assigning categories based on content themes), and intent classification (recognizing user intent in chatbot applications). Annotation tools like Prodigy, Labelbox, or Doccano can facilitate this process.

Structuring Large Datasets

To improve retrieval and model efficiency, data should be stored in a structured format such as vector databases (using embeddings and vector search for fast retrieval like Pinecone, FAISS, Weaviate), relational databases (storing structured data in SQL-based systems), or NoSQL databases (storing semi-structured data like MongoDB, Elasticsearch). Using a hybrid approach can help balance flexibility and speed for different query types.

Processing Data for Model Training

Preprocessing Techniques

Before feeding data into an LLM, preprocessing is essential to ensure consistency and efficiency. This includes data augmentation (expanding datasets using paraphrasing, back-translation, and synthetic data generation), stopword removal (eliminating common but uninformative words like "the," "is"), stemming and lemmatization (reducing words to their base forms like "running" → "run"), and encoding and embedding (transforming text into numerical representations for model ingestion).

Splitting Data for Training

For effective training, data should be split into a training set (80%) used for model learning, a validation set (10%) used for tuning hyperparameters, and a test set (10%) used for final evaluation. Proper splitting ensures that the model generalizes well without overfitting.

Handling Bias and Ethical Considerations

Bias in training data can lead to unfair or inaccurate model predictions. To mitigate bias, ensure diverse data sources that provide a variety of perspectives and demographics, use bias detection tools such as IBM AI Fairness 360, and integrate human-in-the-loop review to manually assess model outputs for biases. Ethical AI principles should guide dataset selection and model training.

Fine-Tuning and Evaluating the Model

Transfer Learning and Fine-Tuning

Rather than training from scratch, private LLMs are often fine-tuned on top of pre-trained models (e.g., GPT, Llama, Mistral). Fine-tuning involves selecting a base model that aligns with your needs, using domain-specific data to specialize the model, and training with hyperparameter optimization by tweaking learning rates, batch sizes, and dropout rates.

Model Evaluation Metrics

Once the model is trained, its performance must be evaluated using metrics such as perplexity (measuring how well the model predicts the next word), BLEU/ROUGE scores (evaluating text generation quality), and human evaluation (assessing outputs for coherence, factual accuracy, and relevance). Continuous iteration and improvement are crucial for maintaining model quality.

Deployment and Maintenance

Deploying the Model

Once the LLM is fine-tuned, deployment considerations include choosing between cloud vs. on-premise hosting depending on data sensitivity, ensuring scalability to handle query loads, and integrating the LLM into applications via REST or GraphQL APIs.

Monitoring and Updating

Ongoing maintenance is necessary to keep the model effective. This includes continuous learning by regularly updating with new data, model drift detection to identify and correct performance degradation, and user feedback integration to use feedback loops to refine responses. A proactive approach to monitoring ensures sustained accuracy and reliability.

Conclusion

Curating and processing information for a private LLM is a meticulous yet rewarding endeavor. By carefully selecting, cleaning, structuring, and fine-tuning data, you can build a robust and efficient AI system tailored to your needs. Whether for business intelligence, customer support, or research, a well-trained private LLM can offer unparalleled insights and automation, transforming the way you interact with data.
