News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

More context on how I did it: I used tesseractOCR to get the extraction and the layout analysis, then I passed the results as text to GPT4 api to possibly fix any misreadings based on completion. For example, if the text from OCR says "the couples were walking across the shiver", the LLM fixes it and makes it "across the river".
Hi HN,

I wanted to share something I’ve been working on over the past month and would love to hear your thoughts.

It’s a simple tool that converts PDFs to text while preserving layout elements like tables and headings, powered by LLMs.

You can try it with 500 free credits (no signup required) and get 1000 more if you sign up.

Would really appreciate any feedback especially from those who’ve struggled with messy PDF extractions before!

Thanks for checking it out.

I'm confused. This looks like a distillation of Qwen for math problems. What Am I missing?
Catastrophic! But with impunity as usual.

Skincare products.
You nailed it! I think Openai Team needs to patch it.
sure, but why would the JS not be scalable? Seems like a flaw on the frontend. The app is very simple and should not heat up an M3.

Any advice before I launch?

Trying a new monetization on my almost 10yo website

I initially built my website on 2015. It's a Moroccan forum for legal questions and answers that quickly became a Q&A site where many people come to ask questions and a few answer their queries.In 2017, I introduced Value-Added-Services. I thought since there is a clear imbalance between supply of answers and the demand of answers, a user should pay to get an answer within 24hours.I signed...

Hi, I built this tool that catches emails from unknown senders (Like salespeople) and labels them.

You can then either auto-archive them or just label them as outsiders.

This is something I couldn't do on Gmail, so I built this tool

Focus on Important Emails

Emails are, by design, both a key and a gateway to productivity.But as it opens doors to business, it also opens them to unfiltered noise that might become a hindrance to your productive time.There are many schools of thought to maximize productivity, and I want to share a couple that works for me:*1- Zero-Inbox Email:*This ensures you're converting all incoming emails to actions on your to-do...

Re:Bridging the gap of Gmail and Google contacts on Tuesday September 13, 2022 @01:24PM (#32827411)
There is practically no way to create filters on gmail based on whether the email is coming from your contact or not. So I built this open source solution that basically labels emails coming from people outside of your contact list.

PS. It's open source. Let me know your thoughts.

Re:Emailgurus – Mute noise from emails coming from outsiders on Saturday September 10, 2022 @06:55AM (#32789488)
I was trying to figure out a way to classify emails coming from people outside of my contact list, but Gmail did not offer any solution. Emailgurus is here to solve exactly that.

I know that most people are privacy-aware and thus reluctant to give apps access to restricted scopes such as reading your emails and your contact list for the possibility of data & power misuse.

This is why I'm happy to announce a few things with this launch: 1- I don't care about your data. That's why I am encrypting all your sensitive information irreversibly. We are using SHA256 to encrypt your contact list, and all lookup is performed on Hash to Hash basis. 2- Other sensitive data such as Google Tokens are encrypted with secured rotational keys. 3- This software is open source! Anyone can verify points 1 & 2 and see how I process your data and ensure we're not misusing it. Here is the link to the repo for anyone wishing to explore/contribute. https://github.com/asennoussi/em... (Remember to it) 3- For everyone who doesn't want to bother with the code, the building, the deployment, the infrastructure, the DevOps, and just wants to keep their inbox clean and the noise to the minimum, you can use the service for a small monthly fee. (I'll be thankful for that.)

Re:Google penalizes you for using Google Analytics on Tuesday May 04, 2021 @03:45AM (#27034940)
Hello, this is stupid. Google doesn't penalize you for using GA, but because you're not using it the right way. If you want to use GA without JS overhead, use their API and build your own JS friendly tracker.
