It’s surprising to me that no one has mentioned llamaparse. My team has been using it for a while and is quite satisfied. If other people think that other services are better then I’d be interested in hearing why.

I’m curious about this api. I’d looked at it before but it didn’t seem like it could handle arbitrary input that didn’t fit one of the predefined schemas. I also wasn’t sure how much training data it needed. What has your experience been li

I am an EU resident (Netherlands) and have wanted to make a DIY air filter for myself for several years. Unfortunately, I simply can’t find any flat box fans on the market. Would someone else in the EU be willing to point me in the right di

I hope that advocates of purchasing power parity comparisons are prepared to factor in implicitly consumed but not easily purchasable goods. Otherwise, they would miss out on many of the things that truly matter in life. For example, in the

The authors don't include some extremely nasty feedback loops the appear to currently be happening. For example, methane release from permafrost melt. As a result, the simulation appears to be misleadingly optimistic. - This tool is ba
