I find it interesting that there's all these independent AI-OCR Projects but still no commercial offering. Is it still too inaccurate, too complex or simply too expensive?

great analysis! thank you
for that case i'd just go with plexamp and self-host the music.
yeah it doesn’t work if you try it with https://youtube.com

i really like the idea though

why do you have a record player with bluetooth in the first place. isn't that against the very concept of an analogue medium?
i think the nytimes landing page does a good job at looking and feeling like an analogue newspaper

Love NTS. Human-curated radio is still the best way to find new music :)

plexamp (in combination with tailscale) works very well :)

i use rsync from my itunes/music.app library to the smb synology drive that acts as my plexamp library. works very well :)

Whats the main advantages to plexamp? From what i can tell from the screenshots, the UI looks very clean.
Yeah it's a very small study. But there's a huge online community of long-covid and me/cfs sufferers (10k + people) who tried it out and report back in form of a facebook group. And there's actually quite a success rate. Which again is hard to quantify but nevertheless...

still one of the best (if not THE best) places to discover contemporary art in vienna.
Such a nice interview though. It's cool that something like this is happening on a mainstream platform like Jon Stwarts Daily Show
which is not a bad thing
what are you talking about
Re:macOS Sonoma is setting records for update size on Monday December 04, 2023 @04:19AM (#38515247)
Fully agree. I started to install the newest iOS & MacOS releases just before the next major version is being released. I'm always one version behind but kinda works well this way.

fully agree. AI should cite and reference the material it's using

Can confirm Rectangle works really well and consumes close to none ram or cpu. You can even disable it from the menu bar so it feels very native

i can very recommend Mina Le:

Thanks. That sounds like a nice webapp. In my case it's easier to copy the text from the Mac Preview. Since M1 it does OCR quite well. This way I don't have to convert the pdf to png. Still i'd love a fully automated way.
Re:Johnny Decimal: A System to Organize Projects on Thursday September 14, 2023 @09:43AM (#37508939)
i've been using an adopted version since about 6month now and it's actually works great. I really like that every file now has a specific place. I even transferred the concept to my offline documents and folders.
When the PDF is very clearly structured it's working just fine. But let's say the layout consists of multiple columns and complex formatting the output gets very imprecise. If the material is scanned it won't function at all.
