- samtheprogram 3y agoThis a 1mb Keras ML model that’s open source. I passionately dislike Surveillance Capitalism but bringing it up when it’s completely irrelevant only weakens the argument. RTFA.
- floobertoober 3y ago> Please don't comment on whether someone read an article. "Did you even read the article? It mentions that" can be shortened to "The article mentions that". From the HN guidelines
- samtheprogram 3y ago> can be shortened to "The article mentions that". I shortened it to RTFA.
- samtheprogram 3y agoThis is beyond what file is capable of. It’s also mentioned in the third paragraph. RTFA.
- wruza 3y agoSome HN readers may not know about file(1) even. It's fine to mention that $subj enhances that, but the rtfa part seems pretty unnecessary.
- Vogtinator 3y agoFWICT file is more capable, predictable and also faster while being more energy-efficient at the same time.
- Majestic121 3y agoThat's not what the performance table in the article is implying, with a precision and recall higher on Magika hovering around 99%, while magic is at 92% prec and 72% recall. One can doubt the representativity of their dataset, but if what is in the article is correct, Magika is clearly way more capable and predictable
- NoGravitas 3y agoYes, it's slower than file(1), uses more energy, recognizes fewer file types, and is less accurate.
- aitchnyu 3y agoThis group of Linux users used to brag Linux will identify files even if you change the extension, Windoze needs to police you about changing extension, nearly 20 years back.
