In 2019 I was working on a project that involved OCRing millions of scanned historical documents. I evaluated Google, Azure, Amazon, Adobe, ABBYY, and Tesseract somewhat rigorously. Google's was by far the best, especially for obscured

How much faster is this stack than the equivalent node/express setup?

Good name but feels mediocre to use. Hard to use it intentionally.

I have found OOP better for thinking abstractly about complex systems.

If I want to write a plugin does it have to be in rust? I like rust but we're not going to add rust tooling to our dev env just for one plugin.

This would be a win for capital over labor. Make your own conclusions.

Why would we need a study to tell us this?

The writing on this case has been so bad I haven't been able to figure out if Google is being accused of tracking users in incognito mode by secretly saving searches or history to profiles, or just giving the false impression of total

Wikipedia is the closest thing the west has to Regime media. It’s usually correct about factual matters, but has high levels of embedded bias towards establishment ideas.

Is the view that Apple holds back WebGL force people to write native apps still widely held?

The ban makes sense given ML compute is dual-use, but I wonder how hard it would be to train say, a missile targeting system, on AWS. I wonder if any nationstate would take the risk of using the public cloud for classified work as a way aro

True, looking at the chart it's 4.5x the perf an A100 (1x), or 350% faster. Would my comment edit if I could.

This would basically be my list. I'd add GPT3 & Github Copilot, which my team and I use professionally. It's far from perfect, but it's a great GSD tool especially for stuff like Regex, bash scripts, and weird APIs.

True, and a process shrink from TSMC 7nm to 4nm.

I get why the 450% increase on BERT is the headline, but I think it's even more impressive that the smallest increase vs. A100 is still 50% (for ResNet). You don't get these types of generational improvements in the CPU world th

If I see some JS, Go, or Rust code online I know I can probably get it running on my machine in less than 5 min. Most of the time, it's a ‘git clone’ and a 'yarn' | 'go install' | 'cargo run', and it just

I live in NY. Most people in NY will not agree with this article. This is not because sensationalist media has successfully tricked them into thinking there is more crime than there is, but because they have directly experienced the rise in

This is the per apartment rate, so anyone with roommates is paying a fraction of the listed rent.

This looks about as good as heavily modded battlefield 1942. That's not saying it's bad sim software, but its look is behind the times.

Next we need some standardization around package management. I recently tried installing the Metal optimized pytorch and descended into package and Python path hell.

Is there a reason python hasn't already done this?

I tried to use Tauri for a personal project back in January and it was missing some basic features like windows without a topbar. Have things matured meaningfully since then?

There are some cases where it needs to be digital. Paper is great for smaller projects, but it doesn't scale.

2D canvas is by far the most natural way to brainstorm. I've been using the Vienna beta ( https://vienna.earth ) but am interested to see how this compares. So far I like Vienna for visual stuff - but going to try this for m
