Other folks were correct and I was wrong! It has come out as GLM 5.3 Flash.

It is probably from Google and is probably hosted on Vertex AI. Opencode announced that responses from Ox Alpha should be better and soon posted about Vertex eu and us multi region update in their changelog. I could be a Gemini model or a n

don't get the $5 ones, they are probably just presence detector or at best distance detector and probably work on 24Ghz. Get the 60Ghz for breathing, heart rate, posture etc.

Unfortunately no. But fortunately, it isn't something new I have built. I use a Seed Studio sensor MR60BHA2 which has an ESP32 which sends the data to Home Assistant through ESPHome. Once it is in Home Assistant you can do automations

I do it using MMWave sensor, 60Ghz one. Want to have more of them but installation is a pain as these need to be mounted on ceiling so WiFi based sensor would be awesome!

I find the web(HTML/CSS) the most open format for sharing. PDFs are hard to be consumed on smaller devices and much harder to be read by machines. I am working on a feature at Jaunt.com to convert PDFs to HTML. It shows up as reader mo

+1! Most LLMs can already output Mathpix markdown. I prompt it to do so and it gives the code and this use a rendering library to show the scalable and selectable equations. No wonder facebook nougat also uses it. Good stuff!

both openai and claude vision models are able do that for me. It is more expensive than tesseract which can run on cpu but I assume it will become similarly cheap in the near future with open models and as AI becomes ubiquitous.

Segmenting at lower resolution and then using them at higher resolution using resolution multipliers don't work as other items bleed in. FastSAM paper has some interesting ideas on doing this with CNNs which I guess SAM2 have supersede

How to segment the document without LLM? I prefer to do all of this in 1 step with an LLM with a good prompt and few shots. With so many passes with images, the costs/time will be high with ViT being slower.

nougat, donut are OSS. There are no OSS vision models but we will soon have them. MathPix API are also not OSS and I found them expensive compared to vision models. Mathpix Markdown however is awesome and I ask LLMs to use that to denote fo

Maybe you could try extracting the text also using some pdf text extraction and use that also to compare. Might help fix numbers which tesseract gets wrong sometimes.

In my experience, this works well but doesn't scale to all kinds of documents. For scientific papers; it can't render formulas. meta's nougat is the best model to do that. For invoices and records; donut works better. Both th

Rate limits are present in chat apps to prevent the service from being abused. Notification tools don't have that.

Why use Slack? Slack has rate limits and one will not get the notifications when something real goes down as there will be 100s of messages overloading Slack API.

Thanks for RailsCasts Ryan! A few days back I read a thread on how ruby/rails is losing junior devs because of the complexity/can of worms docs of Rails 7. I believe it is because we are missing high quality content like RailsCast

Genius! I have scheduled emails to be sent exactly 1 day, 2 day... later so that it goes at similar times, never did I think to separate out the time part and generalise it for the user. Blindspot removed, thanks.

ESP32 are great! The best use case for me is using them as bluetooth repeaters. I use ESPHome and its configs for most devices. For some ble devices, I use nrglogger on my Android to reverse engineer the commands and then feed that into an

One can customize the scaffolding generators to output layouts/pages in the designs which one prefers. This supercharges your development especially if most of the work is CRUD like apps. https://github.com/rails/r

We did that, not our first rodeo. It was a new system being used in Shanghai, good luck finding credible realtime information about China. The host should have let us know. The tip is obvious to anyone who travels overseas.

I had booked an airbnb in Shanghai. On reaching the destination the host said we had to get police verification. She took us to the police station where the police said we cannot stay with her as she doesn't have the required permits.

If you have taken AstraZeneca, try and get some blood and hypertension tests done. Blood clots can be managed with anti-coagulants like rivaroxaban, your doctor will advice based on the tests. Post AZ, mini strokes start occurring for some.
