    What kind of problems are you facing for entity extraction with 3.5? I am also currently working with 3.5 for entity extraction and entity linking. It is a fun pipeline but curious…

    What makes you say that? I can definitely argue that mirrorless is always better for most users! Thinner bodies, modern lens selection (so faster autofocus and wider aperture, etc)…

    isn't "callback hell" a bit old fashioned now? With promises and async/await etc.
