> Reminds me slightly of the Cell processor, with its dedicated SPUs for fast processing, orchestrated by a traditional CPU. But we all saw how successful that was (:

The success of the Cell is more subtle:

- (It seems many) game developers hated it because it is so different to program than other CPUs of other game consoles of its time (in particular the CPU of the Xbox 360). For game studios, time to market and portability of the game to other consoles is important.

- On the other hand, scientists who ported their high-performance numerical computations to the Cell seem to have loved it. Such software is often custom-built for the underlying hardware, and here cost (of the hardware) and possible speed are the measures on which to evaluate the hardware. Here the Cell processor of a PS3 cluster was much more competitive than other available solutions (GPGU did not really exist at this time).
Wait, what?! There is such a thing as a bond (glue) that will “debond” by applying a voltage? And that’s built into every iPhone 16?

I will say I have had a look at your code here. I really do value your innovation here in gaining better accuracy, but I don't think it's is much more accurate for obscure PDF cases - Maybe it halves those obscure errors. I found it still hallucinated or failed to parse some text (e.g. that unusual languages, screenshots with tiny blurred JPEG text, images/shapes remain hallucination issues with your solution). BTW I noticed a small typo "Convert document as is be creative to use markdown effectively" in the prompt. For me changing this and adding text about returning "None" if the text is unreadable reduced hallucinations.

Would you contrast your accuracy with Textract? Because Textract is 10x cheaper than this at approx 1 cent per page (and 20x cheaper than Cloudconvert). What documents make more sense to use with your tool? Is it worth waiting till gpt-4o costs drop 10x with the same quality level (i.e. not gpt-4o-mini) to use this? In my use case it's better to drop than to hallucinate.

What do you think makes sense in relation to Textract?

This is really sad to read. I agree with you that GCP has the superior product. Azure is a fucking joke. AWS sucks but they do respond to feedback and will even get engineers on a call with you if you hit certain edge cases. The level of apathy you describe will very quickly sour users.

Really wish the app store had a "only apps under 10MB" filter.

Apples and oranges. Syncthing is a selfhosted p2p syncing network and it's miles better for this. Nextcloud is a selfhosted "cloud platform" like Google Apps. How good it is for each use case varies greatly. Most often it is used for easy web/mobile access for files and photos.
My favorite aspect of Fable and one that few other games have touched for some reason is the fact that many quests asked you to choose between a moral solution and a moneymaking solution, which meant basically that only wealthy people could afford to be good. At the same time it let you invest in businesses and collect profits while you played the rest of the game, so that you could make some passive income basically. Rarely have I seen such a positive-capitalist-forward take on a game world, but the real lesson was the "need to be wealthy enough to be good" aspect

Ask HN: Whats the difference between qlot vs. ocicl? (SBCL package managers)
Can anybody explain the difference, pro and cons between qlot [1] and ocicl [2]?
Both Ocicl even newer than qlot but both not wide spread.
Both seem to address the problem of project-local library dependency management

By reading ocicls readme I don't really get the underlying mechanics.

Qlot I consistently had problems with getting existing cloned projects to use it.
Maybe we can share our experience here?

Update:
Added clpm [4] to include in comparison request.

Hey, HN community, I’m Sree!

I built FeedbackThing.Pro out of frustration with gathering bug reports and feedback for my SaaS projects. It was a pain having to spin up new forms, database schemas, and S3 buckets just to collect screenshots and comments from users. So, I made this to take the headache out of the process for developers like me.

P.S. I’m a huge Theo T3 fanboy—hence the name "FeedbackThing" and the choice of T3 stack + UploadThing.
Running and owning your own infrastructure exposed to the outside world can be more insecure, running your own infrastructure at home in segmented networks with wireguard will solve most problems.

I don't think that is true for all the nations involved and I think there was a poor understand on how and why things would not work out.
if you're willing to compromise on the graphics and just get the core gameplay, I reckon you could do it in a 512 byte x86 bootsector.
What about combining old school OCR with GPT visual OCR?

If your old school OCR output has output that is not present in the visual one, but is coherent (e.g. english sentences), you could get it back and slot it into the missing place from the visual output.

I'm unaware of any apps that behave totally differently in different regions.

Sure - there are sometimes a few disabled features in one region or another, but is that really worth shipping a totally different binary for?

Even language packs can be tiny even for 200+ languages if they're pure text.

It's only when you get language/region specific artwork that there's a problem.
I would begin with contacting an appropriate state department that helps those people and seeing if they know of any similar organizations, or if they provide grants for non-profit organizations that can assist people in poverty that way. California had quite a bit of money allocated for that, which led to some abuse of the system by a few of them.
I think the answer, counterintuitively, is to make these AI tools more open and accessible. As long as they're restricted or regulated or inaccessible people will continue to think of videos and recordings as not fakeable. But make voice cloning something easy and fun to do with a $1 app, let the teens have their prank call fun and pretty soon it should work its way into the public consciousness.

I had my 70 year mother ask me last week if she should remove her voicemail message because can't people steal her voice with it? I was surprised but I guess she heard it on a Fox segment or something.

I think it might be a rough couple years but hopefully we'll be through it soon.
NEC and Hitachi were involved as well. There was some sort of dynamic of collectively wanting something different from commodity x86.

Ultrasound is as exogenous as the drugs, regardless of if that works or is as much a misunderstanding of the research as the cancer cures I've been seeing reported since I started paying attention aged 10.
Can you elaborate?

You mean human agents, or you are agreeing to what I'm saying here (Agents are just the same as any old backend API for practical purposes, as they can do the same things)
What an absurd statement. You are using a premise (the concept of "should") that emerges from and has meaning only within human society (because it's a human should-- the only kind you have any competence to imagine or assert) to argue for the domination of humans by some other class of moral creature. Your argument has no force.

Just as you can't pass a law that says there is no such thing as a law, you can't reason from human morality that humans have a lower moral status than some other creature. Human morality has no meaning if humans aren't special. If humans aren't special, then there is no "should" as far as humans are concerned. We're just objects bumping into other objects.

You can say "I predict objects will bump into other objects and whatever happens will be a result of that process" but that's not the same thing as saying something "should" be so.

Being alive means YOU are special to YOU. Being in a society means WE are special to US. War is possible, and even pleasurable, only if we exclude certain aspects of humanity from our enemies. "Since I don't regard your life as worth as much as mine, and since you are a threat, it is right for me to end your life."

Intelligence is not what defines or distinguishes humans. We are defined and distinguished by being a particular species of creature (that is to say: we are a replicating genome and accompanying structures spreading ourselves around). There can be other species of creature, but YOU are HUMAN, so HUMANS are special to YOU.

All this is why it's an intellectual and moral error to think that AI can or should rise above humanity. The only sense in which AI can dominate a human is the same sense as that a bomb or bullet can kill a human. Yes, we can be wiped out, but it won't be due to any general superiority as reckoned by humankind.

> The syntax of python is also a bit verbose. Like, why do we need plt.show(), when I plot a figure obviously I want to plot it!

That is kind of annoying. Fortunately, it's easy to turn that off by activating "interactive mode", in which figures automatically appear when you use a plotting command. You can do this via "plt.ion()", or have it set automatically with

interactive : True

in your .matplotlibrc file.

Sure they are. E.g. hate speech, antisemitism, threat to public order, threat to the integrity of the state. You know that Russian woman with the blank paper was also a threat to the integrity of the state.
AI tools can cavort and caper in ways that we humans take ideas and inspiration from. This in no way means that AI understands or learns anything in the sense that humans do.

Meanwhile, to humans, only human ways of knowing are meaningful to us.

"It is surmised that conditioning is enforced via several cogni-
tive biases that trick a player into expecting euphoria (liking-
pathway), when instead frustration is yielded – with condi-
tioning being iterated to a point that the player is motivated
to interact with the game on a foremost instinctual level. We
posit that these stimulations of the wanting-pathway may
lead to players interacting with the game not only with-
out actually liking it, but also without knowing why they
are interacting with the game. Indeed, this calls for drawing
another parallel between drug addiction, and play behaviour
in which liking may be barely exhibited (cf. [16, 38, 40])."

Just keep in mind that when you do this, most plots will by default reuse the existing frame without clearing it. So you need to manually call plt.figure() more often (which in my opinion is more logical than plt.show).

There’s also a change in semantics regarding whether the script “hangs” until the user closes the plot window, if I recall correctly.

> My country is already has blasphemy lynching mobs based on the slightest perceived insult, real or imagined. They will mob you, lynch you, burn your corpse, then distribute sweets while you family hide and issue video messages denouncing you and forgiving the mob.

Blasphemy laws—and the violence that sometimes accompanies them—are a cultural issue, not a technological one. When the risk of mob violence is in play, it's hard to have rational discussions about any kind of perceived offense, especially when it can be manipulated, even technologically, as you pointed out. The hypothetical of voice theft amplifies this: If a stolen voice were used to blaspheme, who would truly be responsible?

This is why we must resist the urge to give into culturally sanctioned violence or fear, regardless of religious justification. The truth doesn’t need to be violently defended; it stands by itself. If a system cannot tolerate dissent without devolving into chaos, then the problem lies within the system, not the dissent.

The ethos I have seen around these is usually "It doesn't have to be proper if it isn't making money"

I think it's a fair attitude if your only goal is to make money, but it completely misses "why" you should build something... if you truly care about a problem you wouldn't haphazard it anyway.

I've been aware of dict for a while since I wrapped up an esperanto to english dictionary for KOReader in a format KOReader could understand. What I'd really have liked is a format like this:

dict://<server/<origin language>/<definition language>/<word>

Still, it is pretty cool that dict servers exist at all, so no complaints here.
I evaluated both for my latest project. I wanted to go with Spring Boot for static typing.

In the end I went with django for one reason: The admin.

Why there's nothing comparable in the java world I don't know, but for an early project it's invaluable to be able to focus on your app while having a good enough admin.

Almost everything else favoured Java tbh (cheaper devs - unlikely for kotlin though, static typing, performance, etc).

Having said that, their REST thing was garbage. I seem to recall it didn't play well with the DB repos or something. Django ninja is much better from what I've used so far.

Oh yeah, also I recall you're right about the lack of user registration stuff. I read most people use keycloak or something, but that's still more stuff to run and wire up than django allauth.

Also I'd question why you want to write the app in a different language. It'll double your work for little gain unless you have real need. Just chuck a Web shell around a responsive website and fill the gaps for the native stuff.

AWS Textract does use ML and I’ve personally used it to parse tables for automated invoice processing.

You wouldn’t get a markdown document automatically generated (or at least you couldn’t when I last used it a few years ago) but you did get an XML document

That XML document was actually better for our purposes because it gives you a confidence score and is properly structured, so floating frame, tables and columns would be properly structured in the output document. This reduces the risk of hallucinations.

It’s less of an out-of-the-box solution but that’s to be expected with AWS APIs.

The first one sounds more like Scarlet Johanson to me. It's not just about the voice itself, it's about the sensuality and gravitas of the voice. The first one has Scralet's warmth and feminity whereas the second one sounds a robot impersonator trying mimicking scarlet's voice without understanding emotions.

So to me you really proved that the voice actress sounds more like Scarlet than a literal AI replication of Scarlet. If that's now damning, I don't know what is.

Hey HN,

I was really inspired by Paul Graham's essay, "Cities and Ambition."

After living in similar places my whole life, it made me realise I needed a change - but where?

So I built a site where people can vote on what messages cities around the world send to people that live in them.

Feedback is appreciated - and please let me know if I missed your city!

Be slightly nicer to people and social constructs than they are to you. If both play by the rules, this results in both being nice to each other. But being nice to someone or something that's consistently mean to you is being a doormat in an abusive relationship. Either get used to treating it how it treats you, or terminate the relationship.
Describing a phenomenon is not contemplating the science behind it. Without evidence or observations, it's not science.
Fair point, but I have seen a lot of shitty software developed with this mantra. Usually because the "iterate" part is forgotten in favor of the next "rapid" development. I agree that the quickest way to learn whether your solution is valid is to ship & experiment. But once you know the solution (which is sometimes not even that complicated) then you should really take the time to produce a solid piece of software before moving on.

But I agree, my original comment is probably a little too critical. There are valid times to rapidly iterate and ship. When it turns into the _only_ way you ship software, I think it becomes a problem.
