What do you think of the DeepSeek OCR approach where they say that vision tokens might better compress a document than its pure text representation?

I've spent some time feeding llm with scrapped web pages and I've found that retaining some style information (text size, visibility, decoration image content) is non trivial.

Do you know some good ressources to learn how to use macOS the productive way, using mostly keyboard shortcuts instead of the trackpad?

Does Rectangle has a shortcut to switch the focused window in a split screen?

I recently purchased a MacBook, and while I'm thoroughly impressed with the hardware, I find the keyboard navigation in the desktop environment somewhat lacking in comparison to my previous experience.

Having used Linux Pop OS for many years, I've grown accustomed to the intuitive and powerful tiling window manager and keyboard navigation shortcuts it offers. I'm struggling to find a comparable solution on the macOS platform.

Re:Stop Using Icon Fonts on Wednesday February 24, 2021 @01:12PM (#26253381)
About using svg images I wonder if there are some studies about inlining versus using a reference to an external URL.

I have a web page with the same icons repeated 20+ times, and I my intuition is that it it could be optimized by using a shared reference instead of repeated inlined svg sources in the html documention — which is font-awesome default behavior.

About the method used:

Q: Are you emulating apps through an HTML5 webpage?

A: Yes and no. These are not like the "web apps" offered through safari. HTML5 is used to render the visuals but the backend is in C. Using protocols intended for enterprise (that they can't take away) we are able to provide access to the hardware, we also have a working version of iCloud. Geolocation, gyroscope, notifications all work as well.

Q: You are violating the terms of the enterprise license and they can invalidate your key, though for some reason the keys still work if you change the phone date to before the key was invalidated.

A: we reverse engineered our end of the protocol without signing an agreement with them and use self signed certificates. Also we are not using the method mentioned int hat article. No one has done this before.

I recommend you gitlab,
About the version number: https://github.com/meteor/meteor/commit/8bd400e56065b0f2d61e...

I would have expected Meteor UI to be in 0.7, but that not a big deal and that will probably be in the next version.
