From my (several years out of date) experience, commercial OCR software like ABBYY FineReader tends to be a lot better at dealing with layout than the FOSS stuff. They have a GUI layer that lets you draw areas to define columns, etc.

These days it looks like ABBYY has pivoted towards cloud services and SDKs though, with the standalone software (now called FineReader PDF) de-emphasized. I am not sure if the new versions and services still offer column separation.
It was only a matter of time. Google announced theirs years ago, Amazon announced theirs last year.

Right now NVIDIA has the lead because they have the better software, but they can't make the chips fast enough. Will be interesting to see if their better software continues to keep them in the lead or if people are more interested in getting the capacity in any form.
Here's the quickest, simplest example I could come up with off the top of my head:

https://paste.sr.ht/~chiefnoah/7e07a961cf266fa620d1fd2d31ba2...

This particular issue will get picked up with `--strict`, but it's nearly impossible to do that on a large codebase with typing added post-hoc.

Pyright has saner defaults, it catches this particular issue: https://paste.sr.ht/~chiefnoah/80816fded2a08a03ca80804d524ee...
The type constraints are indeed enforced but not by the tests but by the type-hints you give to the patched functions. The constraints and enforced structure are followed, there is also a repair feedback loop in place if the original LLM output is invalid for the types you've declared. Tests are more to align the model how to act for different inputs. Hope this makes it more clear!
LLM training is difficult to audit, and as such good-faith barriers such as robots.txt or API endpoint scraping are all easily ignored. Even ignoring the query side, and just from an indexing perspecrive, you see a considerable advantage.

LLMs (at runtime) and LLM mills (during training) have nothing to gain from restricting themselves to the open web. This is in contrast to Google, who is in the business of selling links to information and not information in itself.
nothing is indexed by gogle anymore. it doesnt work at all as its supposed to for a long time. forget about it.

I don’t think OP posted this so we can judge the husband’s startup and also, judging someone based on their (supposed) failures is not a good way to judge people. I’m tempted to spend more time on this comment but I will resist.
Hi thanks for complement,

I guess you would be a client ; )

No, I have hundreds of things I do and very few go to product or build phase.

For this personal issue, I would not be comfortable claiming it could do anything for others like what it does for me. Also I'm not based on anything other than experimental data.

I'm happy to share it here and FREE.

I run a tech incubator in the UK, so hands full : )
For more bad phone UX, I get calls from "potential spam call" with, as far as I can tell, no way at all to get more information. No indication of what "potential spam call" means (bad STIR/SHAKEN data? Google blacklists? Who knows!). I don't know how to turn off their filter either.

Of course they also have those notorious problems with 911 calls not working.

Does Google just do metrics driven development with no user studies or something? And no one there has actually used a phone for phone calls?

The problem really is the companies. EA essentially rushed their product out the door knowingly with substandard (both in quality and actual standardization) that's led to their issues.

They are simply not built to last and their bespokeness leads them to be difficult to repair.

This isn't a case of oversimplifying, especially considering we can look across the street at a company who is doing exactly what we're asking for.
But do you think you are the exception, or the average?
Looks cool. I hope you add support for Swift soon!

It touches one common psychological aspect: Most people don't want to play or see generative content just for the sake of it while the same doesn't hold true for human-crafted art/content. They value carefully human-crafted art over ai-generated ones. Reading the hn comments fellow posters were put off by a blog article today only because it featured images that they perceived as likely ai generated. The images didn't add anything of value to the article. I don't think the reactions would've been that strong if those filler images would have been hand-crafted art. Would you really want to go to a concert by some musician who created his music ai-generatively? I wouldn't no matter how good and no one i know of either. It feels in some weird way disgusting.
Your free speech equivalence argument, in this context, is something I'd expect from either a Chinese propagandist or someone who is very young and has minimal life experience. Maybe you are both.

I have now rented two electric vehicles this past year, both for semi-long distance trips.

The first was a Kia from SF to Sacramento, and back a few days later, thinking this was California and it should be fine. I tried to use twelve stations and seven were broken/out of order for various reasons. I was so shocked about the sad state of affairs on this, I logged/blogged it. The problems were pretty much like the article:

1) Generally out of order message or off for some unknown reason.
2) One had a blatant electrical problem where it charged and then stopped as soon as I walked away. Thinking I was charged, but wasn't.
3) Appear to work, but the payment system was out of order.
4) One was on, but the UI was completely unresponsive. Worker at the business said, "It hasn't been working for almost a year now."
5) App didn't work. Generally, all apps in this space suck bad. Whether it's finding stations or the actual vendor, they are all slow and clunky at best with terrible UIs.

The second was a trip from Boston to central Connecticut and back last month. There was a shortage of cars in the city. Logan was out of cars and I had to go to a neighborhood rental on the outskirts. On top of the shortage was Hertz's botched EV initiative, so there was only one Chevy Volt available at 33% charge.

This experience was even worse. Again, over half the stations I encountered were broken for the same reasons. On top of that, there was essentially just one supercharging station on I-95 from Central CT to Boston, which I missed. It took me three hours because I had to preserve enough charge to make it back to Logan and take my flight out. By the time I got to the Boston Tunnel, the car went into "limited propulsion mode." I fully expected to die in the tunnel on a Friday evening and miss my flight.

The whole thing reminded me that charging stations are complex machines with a myriad of things that can go wrong. On top of that, all these companies are startups who concentrate on growth and marketshare instead of creating an actual reliable usable product. 99% of people can't name one of these companies, and being the best, most trusted charging company is not the goal.

I'm not renting an electric vehicle for a long time. The best use case would be within a city, and unless I'm purposely driving all over a city, I might as well just take public transportation or uber.

There are quirks in JavaScript too right? When I hit a VBA quirk, I write a rectifying function around that quirky functionality. I use the custom function going forward, and never deal with that quirk again. I agree that there are a lot of quirks, and the Excel object model is byzantine. Relying on vanilla VBA / object model isn't a good idea. But, with some investment, one can be very effective in VBA. The syntax is simple / clean.
We should definitely do that. Thanks for your input!
I highly just recommending renting machines. Hetzner or OVH are low cost providers. There is very little reason to have to buy your own machine and do the co-location thing.

If you need more machines, put them in any office that has a fiber connection, like it is cheap to get a 3Gbps connection these days. Do more than one location if you need some of them online. In different cities if needed. Basically you want to avoid being in the same weather location/powergrid connection.

I've done this before and it works really well to cut costs.
> As a user of GPTs I’ve realized that I don’t actually want to use a GPT if I can’t see its prompt. I wouldn’t want to use ChatGPT if some stranger had the option to inject weird behaviour into it without my knowledge—and that’s exactly what a GPT is.

> I’d like OpenAI to add a “view source” option to GPTs. I’d like that to default to “on”, though I imagine that might be an unpopular decision.

Agree 100%. I've found myself avoiding most GPT-based chatbots for this same reason. I don't want it to be subtly manipulating things without my knowledge based on custom instructions that I don't know about. Adding a "view source" option would make this feature from "meh" to "worth the money just by itself" for me. I've been considering cancelling GPT Plus since I find myself using Kagi a majority of the time anyway, but that sort of change would keep me subscribing.

Meta note: This is one of the best posts I've read in a long time. Outstanding work!
I've noticed this too. My art/advertising project (https://24HourHomepage.com) let's people advertise themselves for free. Lots of people promote their IG/Twitter/Tiktok etc.

I'm not surprised given how much "influencer economy" marketing there is (also, I advertise the site on Tiktok/IG/YT) but I'm over-joyed when I see good ol' fashioned websites.

Even then, they seem to be older sites :/

"For all we know"...sure. We already know most cancers use glucose. The problem is you are severely underestimating how dangerous cancers that come out of remission are and severely overestimating how dangerous this diet can be. Any kind of risk analysis would tell you to do this diet.
AWS Glue is just Apache Spark but you can’t debug it when it errors because all that is “conveniently” obfuscated from you.

Do you see alternative paths from lexical lifetimes?
It seems maybe a bit overconfident to assess that one instance doesn't know what other instances are doing when everything is processed in batch calculations.

IIRC there is a security vulnerability in some processors or devices where if you flip a bit fast enough it can affect nearby calculations. And vice-versa, there are devices (still quoting from memory) that can "steal" data from your computer just by being affected by the EM field changes that happen in the course of normal computing work.

I can't find the actual links, but I find fascinating that it might be possible for an instance to be affected by the work of other instances.
I agree. GitHub is the biggest player, but it's a pretty layer on top of an inherently distributed system. If I get tired of Microsoft's shenanigans, I can pack up move to a competitor with only the normal amount of friction (like moving bug reports over, etc.). I use Gitea for my personal projects and it handles 95% of the code-hosting bits just as well.
> I assume the vast majority of people would just pick Google?

The vast majority would pick Google because Google has been paying to be the default for years.

That consumer preference isn’t exactly 100% organic.
It's actually both, at least in the US.

Tesla has the "Magic Dock", which is the built-in CCS adapter that unlocks when you use the app with a non-Tesla car. This is rolling out in a few places.

The other thing is that "NACS" (North American Charging Standard, the same physical plug that Teslas use but with the CCS protocol, with some minor backwards compatible changes for optional higher voltages) is being adopted by almost every EV brand, beginning ~2025. Further, these same brands have committed to providing or selling NACS-CCS adapters to existing cars so they can use Tesla chargers, even without buying a new model of car.
I can't speak for other folks, but time off between jobs w/o something else lined up is the opposite of relaxing. I've never had much trouble finding the next job (even in this market) but doing that always feels like its own full time job.
> Nuclear is expensive because of overregulation. There is no free market when it comes to nuclear, unfortunately.

And for good reason. There is no power generation that has a potential for serious damage compared to nuclear. The cost of Chernobyl was at least 235 billion dollars [1], Fukushima is estimated to end up at around 200 billion dollars [2]. The only other kind of power generation that can destroy entire swaths of land in a single strike is dammed hydro, but even the largest catastrophe to date, the Kakhovka dam destruction in Ukraine, cost only 14 billion dollars [3] - and it didn't render the affected land permanently uninhabitable and only cost the lives of about 50 people, compared to Chernobyl's death toll.

It's utter madness to risk this much money and this much destruction when there are so many different ways of getting power. Nuclear power may be the cheapest per kWh on paper, but that is only because the worst-case risk is implicitly assumed by the government without accounting for it in insurance premiums - at least the major Western countries limit operator exposure to liability claims to a fraction of the potential cost [4]. This is beyond unsustainable, it's financial russian roulette.

We will not be able to live entirely without NPPs, I agree on that one, as we need them to create Co-60 for radiotherapy sources and the nuclear weapon powers to get new feedstock to maintain the warheads, but we should try as a species to get rid of nuclear weapons anyway and only keep the minimum we need for radiotherapy and fundamental research.

For some definition of "reasonable" I guess. Are they under $4k? That's about my limit for what I spend on a car. I have good luck finding reliable ICE vehicles in that price range.
For me personally, yes. I had gone into debt from gambling and bad financial discipline. OE allowed me to pay off all my debt and put a down payment on a house. Watching "number go down" in rapid fashion was very rewarding, and I wasn't a very active person to begin with so I didn't miss out on as much as a regular person would, being holed up in an apartment for virtually the whole year. But towards the end it had an effect on me, it definitely wasn't sustainable.

This will require government regulation, which won't happen until there are enough angry EV drivers to get political attention, and then enough political will to overcome the corporate lobbyists fighting standardization. Remember standardization is good for consumers and bad for producers. Look how long it took to force apple to use usb-c chargers.
Some things could be true but still taboo. You may believe (with the orthodoxy) that they are false, but this doesn't change the possibility that they are true. And if they are, believing them can't be immoral.

(Arguably, even believing falsities can't be immoral, because beliefs aren't the type of thing that are morally right or wrong. It's rather intentions for actions than can be so.)
Yeah I know its way different methods. Sorry for being disingenuous. The point of my snarking was that google made a lot of noise about Google Flu but then quietly got rid of it when it didn't work. To me Googles research has a tendency to be more about headlines than actually solving problems.

I get that pivots happen in startups alot but when you're pivoting 3 times with an extra pivot to make mobile games, maybe it's time to throw in the towel and realize you're not cut out for it.

Given the business model for gas stations (~%0 on the gas, huge on the mini-mart) it seems kinda ridiculous they're not rushing to put fast chargers in every station.
I'm personally quite interested in propaganda and TikTok let's you see both American leftist/rightist propaganda, European leftist/rightist propaganda and pro-Russian/pro-Chinese propaganda. Now there's a lot more on Palestine and Israel obviously. On Reddit it's largely leftist American, although the European right has had a recent resurgence due to refugees.

Weird hobby, I know, but it is actually a great place to look at all the different ways propaganda is done. Everyone is doing it..
They're not involved in the startup unless they are cofounders.

No, they are absolutely not.
This seems backwards. You're demanding that people use alternatives in the market because of competition. But competition is what we have, and the market is choosing winners and losers. So... you're demanding we use the losers' products. So they can compete? Which they... aren't?
This seems a little unclear to me. They're saying this isn't meant to compete with Nvidia, and that it's more of an ARM based CPU?
