I use EasyDict, an open source translation desktop app, and OwlOCR, a paid one. Both let me hit a keyboard command and snap any text to instantly OCR it and translate it. Or just grab it as text. Often supposedly selectable text isn't

I thought the "pink 'un" was a horse racing paper or odds sheet? I get the color of the paper is the same.

Check to see if you have delayed sending enabled. It's a feature that allows you to recall a message by canceling the send. I think the max delay is 30 seconds, which I use, as I am prone to prematurely sending.

Like many OCR solutions, this unfortunately is incomplete. For serious work the final output should be something like a PDF of the original image with the OCRed text embedded. Why? Ground truth. OCR is not reliable enough to isolate its out

What is your source dictionary to compare to? Seems kind of small. Also, how are you handling inflected forms?

This is also what I discovered. That a lot of what I like about beer and soft drinks is the carbonation, so having carbonated (calorie-free) water has similar satisfaction.

Coining a word isn't a notable achievement. And using AI to write your post undermines your message.

This is a dream I have a few times a year. The panic! The horror! Everything gone. Just the feeling of personal loss and devastation every time I have the dream.

So install anti-virus software on the Macs? I'm not seeing the issue.

Fools. What about my feet? Keyboard and mouse on floor for foot use means two meals and computer use all at the same time. Peak productivity. Checkmate.

I think there's some straw-manning happening in the Reddit comment. I don't know anyone who uses LLMs daily who writes such facile prompts. It's simply the same advice as everyone else is giving: GIGO. Garbage in, garbage out

Misleading title. They are still the second and third most reliable, according to the FA.

Recalls a recent employment experience where the engineering team would say "it's too hard," to which the only sane response is, "but you're not saying you can't do it." At the end of so many "no&quot

I do use SpamSieve on macOS for additional client-side spam-filtering, which helps. But I don't want to stress: no spam solution should ever just discard email without you being able to review it. None of them are good enough for that.

You don't. Spam is the cost of business. You accept it because being over-protective of your email address means risking losing valuable email from legitimate correspondents. You want every click on your email address to work for legit

The internet was never just the web. It should never just be the web. Anyone who treated it as just the web missed its most useful pieces.

I would like this just for impromptu communities. Kind of like insta-sorting when you arrive. "We've found your people! They're known as the August Anteaters and they like some of the same internet places you do." (Subst

I suppose what is the main friction in this piece is the constant attribution of things to body or mind, as if they are independent, or as if cannot be both at once. A second friction is that I perceive the author has definitely learned to

There's so much variance in the large countries this isn't that useful. How can you give one rating to a nation that contains Connecticut and Mississippi?

Briss and several forks do this as well: https://briss.sourceforge.net/ . I can't remember which one I use, but it's very good.

Man, this is sad news. Macupdate, the main competitor, turned towards dark patterns a long time ago. "Latest" isn't nearly as feature-complete, missing many of the needed options.

My prediction: this will cost $15K-$25K more before you ever have it in your driveway. Even with tariff and market uncertainties.

I thought Associated Press had long since started using ñ everywhere. It's just embarrassing at this point to see "La Nina" and "El Nino" instead of "La Niña" and "El Niño." Any system that can&#
