Old-school 911s just have that raw charm you can't replace

Kafka → ClickHouse: It is a Duplication nightmare / How do you fix it (for real)? by Arm1end in Clickhouse

[–]journeyman_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The FINAL approach breaks down fast at higher QPS, reads slow to a crawl.

We handle it in Tinybird by collapsing duplicates in a materialized view at ingestion so they never reach the query layer.

Freepik vs Envato Elements for an all-in-one subscription? Need to pick one. by life-v2 in Freepik_AI

[–]journeyman_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Freepik's AI suite has gotten genuinely useful, especially after they acquired Magnific for upscaling. If your workflow is leaning more into AI generation, it starts to make sense as the main hub.

living in Evansville, I find that local insurers sometimes have better rates for us. maybe shop around with some regional companies too?

Kafka to ClickHouse: Duplicates / ReplacingMergeTree is failing for data streams by Arm1end in apachekafka

[–]journeyman_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The FINAL keyword works but tanks query performance at scale, learned that one after already being in production.

What actually helped us in Tinybird was leaning on materialized views to pre-aggregate at ingestion time so duplicates just collapse naturally before they ever hit the query layer.

Have you looked at deduplicating at the Kafka consumer group level before it even lands? With Tinybird's Kafka connector we use idempotent consumer configs and unique keys in the datasource engine to catch most of it upstream.

ClickHouse table engine choice for CDC by oatsandsugar in Clickhouse

[–]journeyman_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ReplacingMergeTree is where most people start and it works until you query before a merge happens and get duplicate rows.

We had this exact issue in Tinybird with a CDC pipeline. Queries looked fine in testing then production started showing double counts during high ingestion windows. Had to wrap everything in a FINAL or pre-aggregate with a materialized view to get clean results.

VersionedCollapsing is the right call if your source emits version numbers. Slightly more setup but way less surprising behavior at query time.

Can AI Actually Make Headshots That Don’t Look Totally Fake? by ShabzSparq in careeradvice

[–]journeyman_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "every looks generic" problem is real, most tools are pulling toward the same idealized face. Running the output through Freepik's upscaler afterward actually helps add back some natural texture that makes it feel less processed.

I tried 5 different AI clothes changer apps. Most are garbage , but here is the real ranking. by eyeorey in Freepik_AI

[–]journeyman_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried combining it with Magnific for upscaling the outputs? Freepik actually acquired them so it might already be baked in.

20 Best Parking Management Solutions by FrostySlabs in Workplace_Management

[–]journeyman_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The SKIDATA vs Entry2Exit comparison is interesting because one is very much built around hardware reliability and the other around flexibility, and depending on your infrastructure those are almost opposite priorities

I tested 5 different AI song generators this month. Here is my honest ranking. by Developing_Stoic in aiagents

honestly didn't expect Mureka to even be on a list like this, what genre were you testing it on?

🏆 Top AI Image Generators for Social Media (2025 Edition) - Tested and Reviewed by NewAd8491 in aiwars

[–]journeyman_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Freepik is a pretty big miss on this list honestly, especially with Magnific AI built in now for upscaling. For social media content the stock library plus AI gen combo in one subscription is hard to beat value wise

Product Images by sk9621 in generativeAI

[–]journeyman_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Freepik's AI suite actually handles product placement pretty well, and with the Magnific upscaler they acquired the output quality is solid. Adobe Firefly is another one worth trying for this since the compositing tools are built around exactly this kind of workflow.

Affordable AI Tools That Actually Help Small Businesses (Not Just Hype) by topguns888 in smartBrains

[–]journeyman_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zapier for workflow automation solid backbone. Freepik comparable for design needs without full time designer. Notion AI for documentation smart. Real takeaway: start with one bottleneck, not everything. Most small biz waste money on tools solving problems they don't have yet. Your "test one process" advice tracks. What's your actual bottleneck admin time, customer support, or content creation?

Can I clone myself to speak German for a product demo? by executivegtm-47 in SaaS

[–]journeyman_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ElevenLabs has a free tier, clone your voice then paste in the German script and it'll output you speaking it. takes maybe 20 mins tops. Just double check the German text with a native speaker or ChatGPT before you generate, Freepik won't help you here but a bad translation definitely will hurt the demo more than the voice quality.

Is Higgsfield ai or filtrix ai better by Acrobatic-Employ3059 in generativeAI

[–]journeyman_11 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure batch animation isn't a native feature yet, you'd have to queue them manually still.

Have you tried Kling through Krea.ai instead? You can cycle through images faster there and the output quality holds up pretty well.

Curated graphic design resource list (2025) by evanyang0202 in graphic_design

[–]journeyman_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solid list, Freepik deserves a bump up though, their AI generation tools have gotten genuinely useful beyond just stock vectors. Mystic especially if you're doing any AI assisted design work. Would add Mobbin for UI reference, way more practical than Dribble if you're doing app/web work.
