I'm against AI. I've written two books on the topic so far. I also use AI, as I must if my software company is going to make money. There is no choice any more. If I had a choice I wouldn't use AI for anything, ever. It'

I find this political mess to be interesting, but I'm not sure it's an appropriate topic of conversation for the "professional community." It looks to me like people on both sides were bothering the other over and extend

The initial input is high resolution images using a DSLR and a macro lens, or at least it will be soon. Initial testing of the method has been done using 200mp images taken casually with a standard modern cell phone. The underlying new comp

Yes. I did see that other article. No the process we are using is not using AI. We are not using OCR either. We are using computational geometry and forensics methodology. No flatbed scanners. No sheet fed scanners. This isn't like any

The Monotype pricing change is brutal, but there’s a workaround. Derive new Japanese font families directly from public-domain sources. I’ve been working on doing exactly that. Reconstructing clean vector glyphs from old metal-type Japanese

Came here to say this. My guess is that Amazon paid them to go away. If my guess is accurate ( I could certainly be wrong ), then Amazon could have them add a robots.txt banning archive.org. If they do that access to the archive will be rem

This comment amuses me as my company is a browserstack competitor and thus my company and our clients have large numbers of devices. When you are the cloud host, you have to worry about this and monitor devices for battery damage / swe

I first saw one of these in use for visualization at a large quarry a few years after they came out. I also bought mine from Japan, around 2012. As nullc mentions, driving the monitor properly is a pain as you need one of a handful of graph
