I actually did just the same thing the other day, and it managed to make a fantastically complex query (by my standards) with relatively little fuss. It made quick work of building an entire php/slim api quite nicely as well. You need

Librivox has a very open api: https://librivox.org/api/info For example, you can query using only the first letter, so it's quite easy to quickly cache their entire collection (please don't give them the HN h

I will definitely be using this. However it is missing some data. For example, filtering on author: aquinas yields nothing, but see https://librivox.org/author/1199?primary_key=1199&search_cat...

Language is often solvable by better dictionaries. I have been forced to make my own dictionaries in the past, that led to similar error rates as more mainstream languages like English. If you are talking about another alphabet like Cyrilli

99%+ is terrible in the OCR world. 99.8%+ on first pass, and 99.99%+ (1/10k characters error) at the end of the process - which includes human reviewers in the loop - is ok, but the goal is higher fidelity than that. If we are throwing

I believe they are saying we did not learn to think more deeply then, so why should we expect to learn how now.

If somebody is using your website to phish, it almost certainly means they are targeting people who legitimately want your services. It is an executive decision, but I personally would let people know, and take the free advertising.

Precisely why it is perfectly fine and good to be inquisitive, and ask why people do things the way they do. It's the point of a show and tell.

The right play might be to have a custom landing page or header / popup on your site indicating that they were referred by a fraudulent domain, and to please bookmark your proper domain / report if this was via an email link. The

In that case they did not evaluate it with enough care, given they gathered more information than that. Hopefully they correct that as they progress. I am quite curious as to your take on a few metrics that would help evaluate the health of

I think the authors agree with you. They tried to look at lines of code added / deleted (eg "they consistently made over 95% of the lines added to and deleted from Elasticsearch") - although the language in the article flops

You might need to give something away to make it happen, but an oddball request to an owner selling their nice home would probably work out, even if it took a few tries to find the right fit.

The only way this type of thing takes off today is if it gets reviews. I am sure he will send out test devices to the usual suspects and we will see third party reviews. I think people are being a bit harsh about the site and presentation.

Speaking for myself, it is not a mental block, it is disgust with the social design of tip culture. Including tips, waiters are better paid than teachers, and many other more essential professions that require higher qualifications. The pre

As you point out, without a perfectly symmetrical onion of course this will not work very well. You would need to use a moving geometrical center point when slicing for best results. Further, as noted elsewhere the outer layers are thicker

The author dealt with this outside the article, and posted a link to his slides in this HN post. The relevant slides begin at [1]. At the end of the day a straight cut is limiting. The next step would be to design the perfect onion dicing k

Great, now I am down the tailscale rabbit hole and just have to use it! I think I will stick to using proxmox virtual ports to create my network so I can more easily only stick to individual device registration in tailscale and save on that

I am not perfectly informed, but in my case, OPNsense would need to be the only vm with access to the incoming NIC port, and all other VMs and the router would need to use virtual network interfaces only coming from OPNsense for incoming. T

What assurances do you have that your "perma-off" setting is even minimally respected? Unless you have a physical disconnect for the chip, I would presume it is still gathering data and that data is being shipped out. There are ju

And yet somebody who voted said far above in this thread that the machine reads a barcode on their ballot, so they have 0% chance of verifying if their vote was entered correctly. And there is always the added problem of a dieselgate style

To me it sounds like it could (and likely would) backfire, by replacing judgment with numbers. Who is giving the confidence score? What confidence score does each confidence score receive? Why are those scores more valid than the expert in

Apologies for the long response. I am only partially qualified in that I am not a professional archeologist, but I have done post-doctoral archeological studies and have read enough archeological studies to understand the larger academic co
