Tessearct is generally the overall best for typed documents, though it struggles with handwriting. TrOCR is better than Tesseract, especially with handwriting, but requires a GPU to have any speed. Tesseract from my tests was roughly 200X f

I did some OCR tests on some 1960s era documents (all in English). Mix of typed and handwritten. I had as results: Google Vision: 95.62% HW - 99.4% Typed Amazon Texttract: 95.63% HW - 99.3% Typed Azure: 95.9% HW - 98.1% Typed Then if curiou

Samsung routines can do exactly this. You can customize it to only charge up to 85% (though no way to set 80% or 90% or something) and then have it not charge until two hours before your alarm, either fast charge or slow charge.

The Illustrated Transformer is fantastic, but I would suggest that those going into it really should read the previous articles in the series to get a foundation to understand it more, plus later articles that go into GPT and BERT, here&#x2

I'd be interested if I could run Windows. I vastly prefer the Windows OS experience to OSX. I got a MacBook for work and tried it for five months and exchanged it, very happy with the choice.

Know of any good handwritten OCR libraries that are FOSS? And ideally can be called through python? TrOCR is the best I've seen so far though it's not amazing.

Strange how you don't comment on the many more Russians that Putin has murdered by his unprovoked war of aggression as well.

So, I push back some on the depositors being made completely whole. Customers are choosing to put their money in the bank, and their putting money in the bank is what is allowing the bank to take the risks. It's not like depositors a

I'm tempted to get one, but it doesn't support HDR+ and some DV profiles, and AVI. Hopefully once the new Nintendo Switch comes out (as that's been the cadence for new Shields) an updated version will come out with updated su

All the behind the scenes for the LOTR films are worth watching for wonderful details like these. It's 30+ hours, but if you're an LOTR fan, I highly recommend doing so.

Really? This may be AI generated to an extent, but it's also showing that the author and friends worked together and put together a labor of fun and love for a pair of friends. That'll have more meaning to that family than a rando

On one level I agree with you that mingling work relationships with friendships is often fraught with issues of things bleeding over in a negative way. But let's be real, to do so takes much more effort, and especially for people who

This is very frustrating... I operated with LastPass on the assumption that the other data was encrypted in there. So backup authentication codes stored. Alas, time to invalidate a bunch of crap.

Going to second the rec on "Index", it's a very understandable, well researched book that the general audience or even a skilled practitioner would enjoy.

Mostly gamers, here's a review from Arkham Asylum which showed how offloading PhysX to a GT 220 paired with a GTX 260 would help a fair bit with minimum and average FPS - https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/batman

This just makes me realize how long it's been since I played Pokemon TCG (the original Base Set). This is amazing, great work! Wish there were another game like the GB Pokemon TCG and TCG2 games.

Don't forget just about everyone has it installed. Want to send a report to your boss? Email it. Build out something in an ID using .NET or something else? Well if they want to make changes hope they have it installed and are familiar

On the contrary, the default position is and should be that job hopping is a negative, and it should be assumed the job hopping is a red flag. What you should want is a company that says job hopping is fine, basically being a consultant. It

This only holds if training such as huge expense, that the one time cost to train is such that A can never improve salaries. If B is paying so much more than A, there has to be more than the training differentiating them. If that's all
