As is too often the case, it doesn't follow what I consider to be a fundamental OCR rule: the input document type should also be a possible output document type. So, PDF in should mean that composited PDF output is possible. This is ne

How is any non-expert supposed to judge the content without some kind of guide like say credentials? Credentials do matter when the author is unknown.

Might be but aren't. They're inevitably someone I've never heard of from no recognizable organization. If they have credentials, they are invisible to me.

I have permanent prompts in Gemini settings to tell it to never include videos in its answers. Never ever for any reason. Yet of course it always does. Even if I trusted any of the video authors or material - and I don't know them so

It's basically fraud, then? Making copies of copyrighted content and profiting from them?

FWIW, for recently released books (<5 years) with more than a few hundred reviews, I find a 4.2 or above rating on Goodreads to be a fairly accurate indicator of whether a book Wil be a pleasurable read. The types of books mentioned in T

Generally, this kind of writing, AI-aided or not, is characteristic of beginner writers. It typically leads to lack of story arc, unfocused characters, and writerly over-investment in the product and its reception rather than in the story a

I use the third-party app Harmonic to browse HN and it has a dark mode. It's quite nice, actually. Though I do think your tone is unusually inappropriate for a feature request.

After trying a dozen or more paid and open source, I keep going back to MacWhisper. The dictation feature is in advanced beta but works well. The only thing I want it doesn't have is to have different models chosen for different tasks
