This is the biggest issue for me as well.
Seems that the OCR has to be triggered manually, for each page of each notebook. Which of course I don't remember to do and now there are too many.

The search doesn't appear to search across notebooks either.

The experience that I would want (expect) is that OCR happens in the background, all the time, no need to trigger and that I can then search for a word/string and find all the notes on that topic.

I've fallen back to tags and dates in filenames to have any chance of tracking down old meeting notes.

Nearing 35 years and it started with side projects and will end with them. However, now I care more about getting high and hiking than I do about my side projects.

I actually shipped a product back in 2007 and supported it for years. Haven't shipped anything since but I am working on a scoped project that I hope to release across macOS, Windows, iOS and Android. Not looking forward to ironing out the cross-platform wrinkles as I'm so brutally lazy anymore.

That's why I specified that this clearly shows incompetence somewhere—either the US entity made the call without listening to anyone in Brazil or the people in Brazil didn't adequately clarify the situation. Either way, it sure looks like the US leadership (probably mostly Musk) misjudged the situation by projecting US law and values onto the Brazilian system, which is a mistake they would never make with Turkey.
If you're going to go to the "legal therefore moral" argument, you could've just started there. There are people who contend that the way some prisons are operated is actually illegal, but I haven't seen any of them here. This discussion is about whether requiring labor with threat of an explicit punishment -- not just "I will withhold something that is mine", but "I will go out of my way to make your life worse" -- is morally and practically comparable to (though clearly a lesser evil than) slavery. There are pretty good arguments that it is not (e.g. that chattel slavery would often extend to children of slaves, or include the right to capriciously murder the slave), but you haven't made them.

You can't have any job you want in the sense that you can't e.g. be President of the United States just because you want to. You likely (unless you happen to be in prison right now?) have a choice between at least two at any given time, though.

I suppose exactly zero of (to try to cover all political bases): Chelsea Manning, Julian Assange, the various January 6 convicts, the various people jailed after the George Floyd riots, or even those convicted of things they literally did not do are victims then. There are, always have been, and always will be "convicted criminals" that definitely don't deserve their fate -- though, to be clear, I believe some (not all) of the ones I mentioned do (and you'd probably be wrong if you guessed which were which). They are in the minority, but I'm not willing to deliberately hurt that minority just to also hurt the majority who arguably deserve it.
For most tech startups, when the growth period hits, its vital there must be NO DELAY to scale. Miss the timing and its permanently gone. If word of mouth leads to a sudden surge of orders, you must be able to supply the good, or you get very angry customers who walk straight into the competitors door.

Most of the value generated by startups is highly concentrated in the few that succeed. So naturally the industry should optimize itself to go big or go home, not penny pinch. That's also, why they hire expensive engineers rather than offshored developers, because speed matters more than cost.

As for non-tech companies. Their demand is more stable in the long run, but they are not tolerant of outages. Amazon cannot have its servers go down during a big sale, too many physical ongoing costs that gets wasted for every second the central nervous system is down. So the cloud is good for its reliability.

Here is the BBC Brasil article on the topic. The ban has been upheld by the entire court, not just its more activist judges.

A. The law in Brazil says any company needs a legal representative in the country. X does not.

B. Under hate speech and misinformation laws some accounts were asked to be removed. They did not.

C. Because the company wasn’t replying at all to court requests, they consider that obstruction of justice vs trying to appeal the court

D. As far as Starlink they consider it a “de facto economic group under the control of Elon Musk” which is mostly true.

Now as far as the Constitution, this is the Supreme court. So saying X has the right to judge the Supreme Court to be in breach of the Constitution, when they themselves are meant to make those decisions, is pretty nutty to me. It's like saying I don't agree with the abortion ban in Texas/Florida so I will continue to do them, since I don't accept Roe V Wave was overturned by Dobbs, so I will just do my own thing, keep doing abortions and f the court.

That's a good way to get yourself arrested, which is what happened here.

Instead you should look into why do you think this to be the truth?

Some of the more salient points from the abstract:

> (2) the large majority (almost 90%) of studies are opinions rather than analysis;

> (3) few studies use quantitative or qualitative data, and even fewer ones use formal modelling;

> (4) the first and second type tend to include small samples or focus on non-representative cases;

> (5) most studies offer ad hoc and subjective policy advice, lacking policy evaluation and integration with insights from the literature on environmental/climate policies;

> (6) of the few studies on public support, a majority concludes that degrowth strategies and policies are socially-politically infeasible;

It honestly depends on you. I used a Google Nexus 7 as a textbook and paper display during university back in the day and while in some cases you needed to zoom in overall it was fine. I don't have any experience with this remarkable but purely from a screen size perspective, if your eyes are healthy and you're willing it should be fine.
It was discovered 8 hours ago!

I have mixed feelings about this. One the one hand, I'm super excited that we can go from discovery to wide dissemination within a few hours. On the other hand, what's the chance of something like this happening with a much bigger asteroid.
Let me calculate:

Australia consumes 5882 PJ of electricity per year [1] = 1.63 PWh/y = 4.46 TWh/day.

A Nickel-Iron battery stores 30 Wh/L [2]. They would need ~150 GL (giga liters) of NiFe batteries to store all the power consumed in a day (they would need much less just for the night) = 150 million m3 (cubic meters). A stack of cells 3m high (+ frames) would occupy 50 million m2 (sq. meters) or a square with ~7 km long sides (without service roads), so let's say battery storage industrial zone 10 km by 20 km in total, split around major cities.

Cost: ~ 1T$ ( tera-dollars :) without the land and the roof )

I hope I didn't miss any 0s.

The gains aren't even "barely passed on". When new generation chips are released, they'll oftentimes release a new instance type at roughly the same price, then re-allocate the older generation chips to power internal services which don't promise a chip family. That internal service might be e.g. S3, so who cares, but it might also be Fargate or Lambda, where you're paying per second of wall time and thus slower chips actively cost you more money.

I don't believe you're accurately quantifying the risk here. Remember, the barrier to pulling off an attack like this is extraordinarily low, and the list of contexts where it can potentially occur is considerable: potentialy any public wifi network without client isolation, having a naughty neighbor with a yagi antenna and too much free time, ISP/upstream routing entities being shady, or themselves being compromised to serve malware (several ISPs actually performed this exaxt technique to inject ads in the pages their customers were visiting years ago).

Recall that my call to action is adding HTTPS support, and you're arguing against that. What's the counterargument against adding HTTPS? I've yet to hear a reasonable justification for not supporting it. It's incredibly easy, it's free, and it takes less than 3 minutes with Let's Encrypt / certbot.

Horses for courses.

Use an e-ink tablet if you want:

- long battery life

- paper-like writing experience

- high resolution (for b/w)

- an alternative to paper for books and notes

That said, there are devices which are essentially Android tablets w/ e-ink screens, which aside from refresh rates work much as one would expect.
I've always found the best cloud path to stick with basic VM/VPS offerings, blob storage, DNS, CDN and IdP.

Getting into things like functions as a service has always felt a little too hot for me. I don't mind integrating with cloud services though (e.g. S3-compatible APIs).

Hybrid seems to be most compelling if you can keep the monster in the box. Sign up for something like Azure or AWS to get at their IdP, DNS and CDN but keep all your actual machines in a cheaper provider (hetzner, et. al.).
I don't see why volition requires consciousness. People are very fond of thinking human qualities are irreducible and make far too many simplifying assumptions than are warranted.

One way to think of Highway is that it is portable multi-platform SIMD intrinsics for C++. While we developed it originally as a part of JPEG XL, it has long ago graduated into a general-purpose library that has various uses, including the recent Gemma.cpp ML launch. Other modern highway uses include: Audio, Browsers, Computational biology, Computer graphics, Cryptography, Grok JPEG 2000, JPEGenc, Jpegli, OpenHTJ2K, Image processing, Image viewers, Information retrieval, Machine learning, Numpy, and Robotics... (copied from: https://github.com/google/highway)

I derived the name from the CityHash, FarmHash, and then HighwayHash series, and considered that Highway would link this library to its roots in the HighwayHash (of course much is also based on Jan's previous work with SIMD). Notably, I resisted using the -li naming here :-D

For me, it’s not even enough. My remarkable is sleeping in a drawer.

I totally understand the "it’s just a notebook and nothing else" limitation. Like : ok, you can’t do anything else than using it as a notebook. Why not. It’s how it’s marketed and I bought it for that. My issues comes from the fact that it’s actually a really dumb notebook where it could have been a "better" notebook.

I mean, it’s 2024 and they still don’t allow you to create links between pages.

And the global ergonomics are pretty barebones too. Navigation is slow. Ok, it’s e-ink, e-ink is slow at rendering full pages. So maybe at least don’t make your UX be a succession of screens ? It’s like designers forgot that you can create interfaces that don’t require to redraw the entire screen between each action.

This thing is both a really beautiful and enjoyable object (the writing feeling is truly incredible) and a daily frustration of intentional limitations and laziness.

Exactly. You can run almost for free on Google if you use things like cloudrun and you don't have a lot of traffic. We developed against that for over a year without ever hitting their freemium threshold. This was just a simple development server of course. We transitioned that to a bit more flexible traditional setup with some vms and a load balancer. You can just start a vm with a docker container in Google cloud so it's stupidly easy to deploy dockerized software and do things like rolling updates. With AWS you need things like ECS and some other cruft. Also not the end of the world. But more work.

The mistake most companies and developers make is mapping their organization structure to their deployment architecture. And then over provisioning everything. Kubernetes is the goto solution for companies like that. We spend less on our cloud bills than it costs to spin up even a simple Kubernetes cluster that does basically nothing. It doesn't solve a problem we have because we have a monolith. All I need is two cheap vms and a loadbalancer. If it gets busy, I'll add vms.

There's some other stuff we need, of course. The most expensive thing is actually managed search and databases clusters. They are nice but also pricey.

But from a cost perspective the whole point for me is actually minimizing my time investment. A managed database means I don't need to obsess about uptime, backups, and other things you would normally pay some team to obsess about 24x7. I don't have that and I can actually go on vacation and it's fine.

Of course all this stuff is way overpriced. You get the equivalent of a raspberry pi worth of compute for a monthly price that would allow you to buy several of those. Cloud providers actually put multiple customers on their hardware for the cheaper vms. So, these things are basically paying for their own cost pretty much instantly. When you use a managed database, it runs on shared infrastructure that minimizes resource usage. So why is that more expensive than a non managed one that has more idle resource use? Convenience. It doesn't actually cost them more to manage it. But it's more convenient for you. So they just charge you more for less.

Cloud pricing bears no relationship to actual cost. Which is weird. There should be way more competition on price. But it seems that there just isn't. Of course, people just mindlessly buy AWS because they heard it's good. That's why Amazon is so rich. The retail business is a side hustle for them at this point. And you can get some amazing deals from smaller providers. Hetzner gets mentioned a lot and they are pretty aggressive with their pricing. But it's less convenient.
