Is it? I've never seen a single OCR that would replace a human just typing it by hand. What if the goal is something actually useful, such as converting scientific paper PDF back to LaTeX that renders into a pixel-perfect copy? What ab

How does it compare against Finereader? Comparisons against transformer-based OCRs don't really tell anything. The last time I checked, neither of them were of "OCR this legal document" quality.

550,000 km/mm^3, or 180 m^3 for the whole 100 quadrillion km thing.

Yeah, I've first seen it over 15 years ago. Usually you use operator of the same priority as you'd like, and also #define xor &xor_i& to get all that detail out of sight.

The last time I remember, the green company did the same HTTP thing literally with their driver downloads from the website, and refused to fix it. Makes me wonder, how much of that 4 month delay was spent deliberating with the state actor.

Actually, the whole website is fire. There are articles on the same level on how to select T-shirts and pants. This is the second time I see a reviewer online doing the thing that was common a couple decades ago: actually doing the research

Do you propose taxpayers to shoulder compensations to AI companies that robbed them of data and jobs? I guess not being absurd is communist now :)

Shouldn't be a problem, as AI companies expropriated knowledge and jobs.

Nice to see someone going the same path as me! Haven't read the book or used Hashcat, I have a question. Is there anything yet to generate rainbow tables out of password regex?

Like detecting constriction or loss of integrity of blood vessels, and doing the corresponding intervention. The saddest thing here is not that it requires some future nanotechnology, but is achievable at the present scientific level, yet t

It's quite easy to check responses to other customers in other threads there, and somehow I see quite a lot of "oh, go to that other support" and ghosting. If you create support ticket on hacker news, then yes, you will proba

It would make even more sense to rename it to ollama, get a copyright for the name, and see how thieves complain they've been robbed :>

So basically they got fined a cost of single tractor repair, and it didn't even create a legal precedent due to settlement? Someone believed that "will make available" has any consequences, given decades-long tradition to jus

The statement is a bit too strong. It's not malice, it's just plain old stupidity. In the same way as soviet nuclear reactors don't explode, nuclear submarines don't either. Nobody have thought it might happen, nobody wa

Well, that's precisely what is sinister here. Those profiling tools don't really care which features are going to be used for predictions. It's just machine learning, and it's indiscriminate. So if you have an extension

It's actually a strange situation. Tao is the only high-profile mathematician who tries to resolve the reproducibility crisis in math by popularizing proof checkers, and who used LLMs in probably the most legitimate way: to produce for

In fact, the paper has an error in the argument that AI might find Fermat's theorem to be incorrect due to definition of natural numbers including a zero, because paper's version of a theorem explicitly says that the number should

In ye olden days of WASM just added to the browser, the difference between native JS and boost::spirit in WASM was x200. In their worst case it was just x5. We clearly have some progress here.

I don't see how this is a counterargument.

The word "Polymarket" can be replaced by "market" there. Global market is just the largest gambling venue. Always has been. No amount of "monitoring" and "leagues" will keep people from going Boeing w

I would rather say that lack of VBA support is an issue, and that it's an insurmountable task for alternative Offices to solve. Yes, and absurd one too. As a "poweruser", I'd rather prefer to have all software available

I did report email spam to GH, and both got reply for them and seen their page go 404. It was years ago though. Since I've enabled "hide my email" setting, and set that GH-generated email to my git config, "try my projec

I reported spammers ~5 times to GH, and every time the account went down in a couple of hours. Obviously mileage may vary, but I don't want the whole HN to think this process is completely broken. Please keep reporting spammers, usuall

Whatever is going on here, is so magnificently complicated: sockpuppeting, doxxing, ddosing, psyops, pirating, FBI, cyberpunk capitalists, Russian hackers and Finnish activists. Somehow it does feel like in the middle of information war.

US is dialing back even on global warming. There is no chance current government would risk space superiority for some kessler-shmessler that nobody has ever seen.

Open Wireshark and see the traffic. Read documentation of two mentioned projects. The whole "average user" agenda is already a smell. Nice to see you writing your first non-question here.

We had that ability in Firefox, through XUL. Then it was removed. Tree Style Tab addon doesn't work properly to this day because of this. We had that ability in Chrome, through Chrome Apps. You could make a browser app, load pages in w

Not their manager here, but We fired our professional tech writers. They've been using AI all the time (with horrible results), and were basically incapable of tech writing without it at all. Looking for tech writers on the market is n

How long would it take for someone to put that pizzeria on a map right inside of the pentagon? Literally any adversary can put the place (call it "Pentagon Pizza" if they don't give it a name) on a map, and every time clueles
