Thank you for putting in words what has been subconsciously annoying me about modernized windows applications. It seems like they are consistently worse with no recognizable improvements. Who is to blame? Is it the UI people wanting a &quot

This is the "Hello World" of PDFs. Most pdfs these days have all of the objs compressed with deflate. and then, because that didn't make it difficult enough to follow, a lot of pdfs have most of the objects grouped up inside

By that logic who does it belong to? How long does someone need to be in an area to be the "owner" of it. The people on Egypt currently weren't there when it was moved. Why should they get it? The people that were there when

I probably should have added sarcasm tags to my post. My very firm opinion is that AI should only make suggestions to humans and not decisions for humans.

A few hallucinations. It's right more times than it's wrong. Humans make mistakes as well. Cosmic justice.

I live in an area where there are a lot of wind mills along a nearby range of hills. There is also another taller hill which allows you to look down on the wind mills. In all the times I've driven up there and stopped to look out at th

"People who boast about their IQ are losers." I actually LOL'd at that but then I generally have a dislike of boastful people. and I could imagine that the type of person that would boast about IQ would probably dismiss Hawki

It is truly sad that a stance on vaccines is somehow a political position. Fast-forward to 2030s where flat vs sphere is determined by an election.

Different use cases. "without text overflowing" brings with it a lot of detail. In pdf every letter/character/glyph of text can have an exact x,y position on the page (or off the page sometimes). This allows for precise

The LLMs might help with sequencing the characters you extract from the page but actually getting the contents is still difficult. A number of times I've come across a page where the letters of the text are glyphs in a custom font with

"Over land" in this case is just the US. and that was driven more to hamstring the uk/euro Concord. Sell this to rich playboys in the mediterranean or middle east.

Best thing I ever did was to quit twitter, even before all the changes. Because everybody, good or bad, was concerned by things and they posted or shared them. A million voices talking is a million problems voiced The real secret to life is

Comments like these need to be included in almost any discussion about transport or in fact any discussion about any change. Most people (or both sides) dismiss ideas because they are not 100% perfect. And ignore the fact that nothing can b

Men can be more easily drawn to the trades for what seems like much easier money. When I was a poor student I had friends working in house building, driving trucks and even 1 working in a foundry. They all had nicer cars and more beer money

Estimates have always been deadlines. I've noticed it since at least 1999. Either your estimate goes up a certain number of management levels and then they don't want to lose face so you are stuck with it. Or a salesperson has see
