Re:AI hallucination nearly triggers US Military operation on Saturday September 19, 2026 @08:37AM (#49766073)
That's the kind of situation I have in mind when thinking about how AI could harm humanity.

If AI would hurt humanity, that'd be thought escalation between nuclear countries. Either via false positive, like here, or by assisting voluntary attempts to setup false flag situations (typically via fake contents to stir unrest)

I'd love to see the original manga story animated. There are so many beautiful scenes and plots missing from the movie...

However, it couldn't just be a sequel of the movie, as it diverged from the manga story line near the end.

Re:The best worst hack that saved our bacon on Sunday October 05, 2025 @05:57AM (#45480341)
I often see code relying on the increasing property of primary key (keeping track of processed vs unprocessed by the last processed pk only).

This wrap into negative domain would wreck havoc for sure.

Re:Why LLMs Suck at OCR on Saturday February 08, 2025 @08:58AM (#42982980)
I tried https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR for my own use case (scanline images of parcel labels) and it beat Tesseract by an order of magnitude.

(Tesseract managed to get 3 fields out of a damaged label, while PaddleOCR found 35, some of them barely readable even for a human taking time to decypher them)

Intuitively, I read it as "tweetext"
Great, thanks!

I was probably not stable enough showing it to the webcam and had more luck with the sudoku lying on the table and moving the webcam.

The lightning was also quite important in getting the grid recognized.

Nice job :)

I love the idea but couldn't get it to work.

When I click the snapshot button from the /viewer URI, I end up on /image and can only download the photo I took or go back.

What is the intended workflow?

Discoverability is indeed lacking in Peertube, as for global search, what looks the most like it is https://sepiasearch.org/

In the spirit of FOSS, he also publishes his video on peertube: https://peertube.touhoppai.moe/a/shichimi/video-channels

Disclaimer: I manage this Peertube instance and used to mirror, with his agreement, those channels as mirrors, and he's now managing them directly.

It's an awesome game, I'm playing it non-stop since last summer and embarked my 9-years old daughter along. We're sharing games and exchanging bits of information (yes, she's thinking out of the box, and it sometimes works :) )

The author, Evan, is maintaining a fediverse community for all mods of the original Pixel Dungeon, accessible via https://photon.lemmy.world/c/pixeldungeon for instance, after the Reddit troubles from last year.

Re:Yi: Open Foundation Models by 01.ai on Sunday March 10, 2024 @11:28AM (#39659936)
It is not an application, it's a model.

It claims to be llama-compatible, so you can reuse the same ecosystem, like ollama for inference.

It will not run random code on your behalf and call OpenAI API like you fear.

Re:WINE 1.9.4 Released on Tuesday February 23, 2016 @04:21AM (#11157608)
Reaper is praised by a lot, that's true.

But I wouldn't call it a killer app when linux has great native DAW like ardour (libre), LMMS (libre), Non (libre), Renoise (proprietary) or Bitwig (proprietary) and probably others.

Re:G'MIC, full-featured ImageMagick alternative on Monday January 25, 2016 @12:05PM (#10968326)
Regarding Nuke alternative, if we're talking about the same software (VFX domain), you have http://natron.fr/

It's still quite young imho, but it's very promising.

Incidentally, it also integrates with GMIC

When I had to pick a backup system, I considered Bup until I saw that there were no way to prune old backup ( https://github.com/bup/bup/blob/master/README.md#things-that... ).

This is really a stopblocker for me.

Obnam ( http://obnam.org ) is a similar tool but support forgetting old generations. However, it still suffers for youth problems and tends to corrupt backup repository when pruning old data on a remote server.

I'm really looking forward for a mature and feature full backup system based on git principes. Bup or obnam might be one of those.

Re:Extracting the abstract syntax tree from GCC on Monday January 19, 2015 @11:08AM (#8912444)
As much as I love GNU tools "universe", I feel that this ideological position of RMS regarding GCC future is hurting more libre software than it does good.

That's a bit saddening.

huge thanks for your story and the transparency of revenue.
Re:Rovio Employee Negotiations Concluded on Thursday December 04, 2014 @09:40AM (#8699381)
This post was an opportunity to discover that Rovio had much more employee than what I expected.

Angry bird looks so much like one of those flash games you can create with a single coder and a single designer I never imagined they had more than 800 people now. I would have guessed a small dozen max...

Not that it'd cover for the difference but note that you're only using one of the 4 threads of the C1.

If I'm not mistaken you only have 1 CPU for a droplet at this price.

Re:Show HN: Javelin Browser on Thursday September 25, 2014 @03:29PM (#8369202)
just my 2 cents, but showing the source to a limited amount of people, who are themselves known for other kind of work and certifying that your app isn't badly behaving could be a good start.

That's not a silver bullet idea though, because it requires trusted voluntary (or not) people and there is always a slight risk of source code leak.

Re:Bpkg – a Bash package manager on Monday September 22, 2014 @04:20PM (#8352389)
technically, they don't recommend it. curl whatever | bash is one of the 3 possible method (first listed, I agree) but there are 2 other ways to install it.

otoh, don't you think that without the unsecure one liner to install it, some people would complain about its lack ? Stating they can read the script before executing it anyway.

Plus, it's not much less secure than cloning a repo and running 'make install' (in both case, one could read the script(s) but will unlikely do so).

Re:Mosh: A replacement for SSH on Monday September 01, 2014 @05:53AM (#8252161)
Too bad mosh needs an udp port to run its own server.

One of the greatness of ssh is its lean network requirements (it can even be considered https if seen from intermediate proxies, hence whitelisted) and this extra udp port is quite a burden in some environments.

I still agree that mosh is a fine tool for mobile users. I'm just a tad worried about its security layer implementation being less audites than openssh for instance (as mosh isn't as widely used)...

Re:Django 1.7 RC1 on Friday June 27, 2014 @07:55AM (#7953580)
South was the defacto standard app to manage your schema, so it wasn't really such a bad issue.

It's better to have it built in, sure, but it wasn't a nuisance before.
