I love anything that says we need to build better software. That said, just how crappy are people’s MVPs these days? The point of an MVP is to make something tiny and less polished, but functional, not actually broken. > And in the age o

If you’ve got that much money in a project, it’s not a prototype. This repo should have had all types of static analysis running automatically. Hell, GitHub has built in secret scanning. Apparently it was only set as the default for all new

It would also be great if we had eyes in the back of our heads to see 360 degrees. Oh, and we should be able to hear above 20,000hz in order to detect small prey more easily. If we don’t have a particular adaptation there are a few basic ex

Well, I think this is why it’s not settled yet. However, the law depends on many reasonability tests.

Great to see this launch! I’m looking forward to trying this when our startup is a bit more mature.

Takes time to read and evaluate something of high quality. Likely some good blog posts will come out and get posted here in the coming days / weeks evaluating and summarizing.

I did, thanks. Will respond soon.

That’s a great question. 1) I want to have a more-readable version of my autobiographical info. I frequently write things down about my psychology that I specifically want to reflect on later. 2) I want to have a system that can read my han

Will try the free trial this week, thank you. I don’t see a way to fine tune on here, though. Is that right or am I missing it?

Render. Happy with it for now as a prototyping / MVP tool. Won’t be able to continue forever due to HIPAA requirements and not sure how it scales anyway.

Yep! However that needs a ton of labeled data, so a bootstrapping method is required. I like the idea of doing it by speech recognition, or of chopping it up for privacy and then outsourcing that to humans at cost. One thing I … Imagine … w

Agreed!

Of course. If ChatGPT worked for this problem, I’d be in human-machine interface heaven. Oh well.

Indeed—except for the cost of time, attention, energy, wrist and neck pain. This is something I want done eventually, and I’m smelling the flowers on the way there. This HN comment thread is one of the flowers on the path to my OCR pure lan

Yep, I think that’s what I’ll need to do in the end because my handwriting is just so… expressive. In order to get that data I’ll probably need to chop up the words in my diaries for privacy, then outsource to a human-in-the-loop labeling s

Thanks all, I tried ChatGPT and it didn’t like my handwriting at all. Which is understandable… :’)

Thanks buddy. I’ve already got them all digitized thankfully. That was a whole thing in and of itself. Unfortunately the half-dozen or so OCRs I’ve tried fail miserably on even my clearest pages. Lots of good ideas in this thread, though. T
