This is beyond what file is capable of. It’s also mentioned in the third paragraph.
RTFA.
- wruza 3y agoSome HN readers may not know about file(1) even. It's fine to mention that $subj enhances that, but the rtfa part seems pretty unnecessary.
- Vogtinator 3y agoFWICT file is more capable, predictable and also faster while being more energy-efficient at the same time.
- Majestic121 3y agoThat's not what the performance table in the article is implying, with a precision and recall higher on Magika hovering around 99%, while magic is at 92% prec and 72% recall. One can doubt the representativity of their dataset, but if what is in the article is correct, Magika is clearly way more capable and predictable
- NoGravitas 3y agoYes, it's slower than file(1), uses more energy, recognizes fewer file types, and is less accurate.
