Show HN: Zero-power photonic language model–code

The model uses a 1024-dimensional complex Hilbert space with 32 layers of programmable Mach–Zehnder meshes (Reck architecture) and derives token probabilities directly via the Born rule.

Despite using only unitary operations and no attention mechanism, a 1024×32 model achieves coherent TinyStories generation after < 1.8 hours of training on a single consumer GPU.

Ask HN: Streaming a Bittorent Video from a Webpage?

I'm wondering if there is a way to stream a video uploaded to Bit torrent from a web page.

I am working on a video essay that I feel might get censored by our current administration. I looked into PeerTube and i'm hesitant to get into decentralization because the point of censorship can be at the node with Activity Pub.

Is there a way to stream videos off of BitTorrent with a tool that is completely web based? The goal is to host videos on my site that can be streamed by visitors with out relying on Video Platforms that can censor the content.
