This is no proof that it doesn't send any data when used for conversions online. It even could work offline, cache/store data and send it when back online.

Looks promising—thanks for sharing! Is it possible to include non-Python binaries somehow? Similar to how it is done with PyInstaller with the --add-binary argument? P.S.: It has a…

As others mentioned, Tesseract is SOTA in FOSS OCR. It also still is being developed, improving slow but constantly. The main issue for a use-case like NormCap are the trained mode…

Author here, excited to find my tool on hn! Happy to answer any questions. PS: People looking for (FOSS) alternatives, look here: https://github.com/dynobo/normcap#similar-open-sou…

Here's a list with more tools like this, in case you are interested: https://github.com/dynobo/normcap#similar-open-source-tools

I agree, there are way better cloud based and proprietary OCR solutions out there. But Tesseract still seems to deliver the best results among the FOSS tools, doesn't it? Back in t…

I didn't know about the story yet, but the reality was already very close to that terrible scenario: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bachem_Ba_349 (One of the launch sites is quite c…

Dark Mode is much better for writing code with good quality. As everyone knows: Light attracts bugs! (SCNR)

Would love to see statistics from the other perspective: Which animals are killed most by humans? Besides insects, I would guess fish and chicken are quite high...

I see a lot of statements like this (also here in the comments), but is there actual any evidence behind those? Any research results, which has been replicated? If yes, it would be…

Nice project! Very pretty CLI and cool project name :) 1. How much time did you spend on it? 2. Do you like working with "poetry", or did you choose it because of its name? :) 3. W…

Might this be similar to the stress/shock introduced partial memory loss, as it often happens with heavy accidents, where the accident itself isn't remembered by the patient?

Thank you for summarising and thx to OP for publishing his work. The combination of both was a nice opportunity for me (and others?) to learn something from mistakes. :-)

I remember this variation of the story: An unknown chessplayer bet a lot of money, that he could play live & simultaniously against two grandmasters and achieve at least 1 point. T…

In my circle of friends, there was a similar tragic case: Someone suicidal took deadly poison with delayed effect (5-10min), immediately regretted it and called one of my friends f…

AI scales much better, than human bs generators. I consider at least this aspect concerning.

I'm working in a Data Science Team and like my job a lot. There are some frustrating aspects, so, most of them rooted in the hype around ML / AI. Just some examples: 1. The massive…

Just curious: What are the use-cases for such an service? Anything that can not be covered by a sealed letter in the hand of a trusted friend/family?

Who else read "... gives programers coffees"? :-D PS: Seriously, free coffee is more important to me than an office. I like open working environments.
