you guys don't just memorize all your local ip's?


In my day we memorized IPs AND ports. 10.24.67.22:78342 was to access our bug tracker and 192.168.240.17:21282 was for our CVS repository!

Seriously though, one of the first things I did when I was hired as the sysadmin for a small company was to eliminate the need for memorizing/bookmarking ip-port combos. I moved everything to standard ports and DNS names.

Any services running on the same machine that needed the same ports were put behind a reverse proxy with virtual hosts to route to the right service. Each IP address was assigned an easy-to-remember DNS name. And each service was setup with TLS/SSL instead of the bare HTTP they had previously.


He is referencing delta 9, which has a lot of the same similarities as what we refer to colloquially as "weed".

Delta 9 is much different physiologically and psychologically and can induce this abhorrent behaviors.

Also in the mid to early 2000's over 50.3% of US adults (Pew Research Center) had tried cannabis, I can assure you someone in your "circle" has smoked in their life.


is this the same thing Avi Schiffmann is peddling ?


Similar but different: this is a productivity tool, it improves your life but doesn't replace your friends


no Avi just stole the name "Friend"


worked fine for me in firefox


I think i'm missing something.. why would i pay to ocr the images when i can do it locally for free? Tesseract runs pretty well on just cpu, wouldn't even need something crazy powerful.


Tesseract works great for pure label-the-characters OCR, which is sufficient for books and other sources with straightforward layouts, but doesn't handle weird layouts (tables, columns, tables with columns in each cell, etc.) People will do absolutely depraved stuff with Word and PDF documents and you often need semantic understanding to decipher it.

That said, sometimes no amount of understanding will improve the OCR output because a structure in a document cannot be converted to a one-dimensional string (short of using HTML/CSS or something). Maybe we'll get image -> HTML models eventually.


And OpenAI uses Tesseract in the background, as it sometimes answers that Hungarian language is not installed for Tesseract for me


I would be extremely surprised if that's the case. There are "open-source" multimodal LLMs can extract text from images as a proof that the idea works.

Probably the model is hallucinating and adding "Hungarian language is not installed for Tesseract" to the response.


Anyone wanna create the open source version of this ?


Right when Cloudflare announces D1 lol


Micropython runs on the esp32. Packs a huge punch imo


Do they still own Stargate ?
