    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 t…

    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 docu…

    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…

    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 …

    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 nanotechnolo…

    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 ti…

    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 cons…

    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…

    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 indi…

    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 L…

    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 o…

    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 pr…

    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…

    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 rathe…

    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-generate…

    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 co…

    Whatever is going on here, is so magnificently complicated: sockpuppeting, doxxing, ddosing, psyops, pirating, FBI, cyberpunk capitalists, Russian hackers and Finnish activists. So…
