Looks nice and make be helpful. Keep in mind I can’t and most people can’t install this in a corp environment. If you get a pip install or npm install I’d be able to use it through corporate mirrors internally.

Make it as easy to run as something like datasette.

You seem knowledgeable in this space. I’ve researched scanners for only scanning old prints but get mixed messages. What would be your advice on a scanner for this purpose to get 90% good enough… epson 650/700?

I would love one of these too. However, being in Singapore I was not in position to drop 152k (SGD) or 113k (USD)[0] on one.

I am surprised the size of their study where they made conclusions was only 118 ppl. I would have thought a much larger study is required.

This why I’d consider shorting NVIDA at these prices. I get there are use case where it really adds value, but I think they are more limited to specific fields than people are acknowledging and forecasting.

The general public doesn’t want or need it. They want to work less and get paid more.

Tangential but I looked at the codebase - because I like to imagine I can code (I can’t) - and for a laymen, I could follow the code.

Makes me think quite positively of go lang and of the dev for designing in such a way. Can understand why teams like it because of easier maintenance

Quite elegant from my uneducated pov.

The lack of support and lack of agitation by the Australian Government on both sides of parliament is a testament to how bad Australian politics is.

He was an Australia citizen left out to dry.

Disgraceful.

I thought recently, we knew AI programs where coming along time ago. They were coming for accounting, repetitive corporate jobs.

Having seen/listened to the technology at the heart of AI (caveat, I don’t program and am looking from a mile high) I find it interesting the link I see.

The jobs where randomnesss and errors are at part of success - art, writing, creativity - this is where AI has impact first.

The jobs where accuracy is paramount and errors not tolerated - medicine, etc - maybe that’s where we see impact last if at all.

Just a reflection.

I haven’t seen it being used anywhere in big corporates (+20k employees) at all.

I attempted it once and stop as I found error checking impossible, source control impossible and ability to see code changes impossible - compared to a simple python script that is just text and can be source controlled.

Interested in a different opinion as maybe I missed something.

Datasette has this exact functionality and i used it. Works well.

Same theory would apply - charge the producers of these products a cost - no matter a plastic bottle, a plastic nappy or a plastic medical device.

Why can’t we just start charging producers of waste a direct cost. If we charged producers (McDonald’s, coke, Pepsi, supermarket, uniliver etc) $1 for every plastic bottle they used, we’d have a budget for clean up and a change in motivations. Suddenly glass reuse programs are suddenly cost comparable etc

I am inclined to believe this as well. Originally from Australia, it’s extremely prevalent to talk about “mental health” see “mental health campaigns” and have “mental health” promotion days.

I wonder if talking about it so much make people question their own leave of well being too often?

I compare this to long stints in HK and Singapore - not once has it been mentioned in the office or even socially.

State owned enterprises will outperform private in this environment when there is no option to compete as a private structure

A classic one that has a business built on this is pidgeonhole - literally private links for events with people hosting internal company events and users posing private sometimes confidential information. And even banks sign on to these platforms!

For the rest of the world…

I integrated the perspective js into the datasette.io as a plugin as I was dealing with a larger number of rows.

Its not bad. The map by GPS isn't as great as Kepler.gl, and for some reason, perspective doesn't work so well in corporate offices that may be using Remote Browser Instances... had some issues.

my biggest issue with Power BI after building washboarding for hospitals was that they are dangerous.

There are impossible to drill down and understand - "where did this data come from" - how was this calculated.

Similar to other comments, you can version, it's beyond hard to error check. A python or sql script you can at least verify and recreate. I view Power BI as just the new excel - big files full of hidden errors.

I’m loose with my memory and I’d often recall reading or looking at something and could never find it in safari history etc. with info spread across WhatsApp emails files web history is helped nudge me in the right direction here and there. Saved me once when i made an online purchase, never got an email confirmation as well.

I set up two years ago a cron to screenshot every minute.

Just did the second phase of using ocrmac (vision kit cli on GitHub) that extracts text and dumps it in a SQLite with FTS5.

It’s simplistic but does the job for now.

I looked at reducing storage requirements by using image magik to only store the difference between images - some 5 min sequence are essentially the same screen - but let that one go.

Likewise, I spend years in it for a day job and I never used a mouse.

Adjacent topic, my prediction over the next 18 months that public perception of Apple will start to shift into the next wave - similar to what happened to Microsoft in the early 2000s. Seems the winds are aligning but again- a half thought out gut view.

They should send this to every landlord in Singapore that gives zero fs about tenant safety.

It’s a national disgrace.

The view that I have formed is that we all have regrets. Anyone who claims they don’t is blinded by ego. That claim is only possible if every decision they made was the right one - at the time and with hindsight. Clearly, that is not possible.

I agree that the physical usb c connection looks like the worst structure for a connector. Extremely flimsy

Having spoken recently to a Barrister in Australia who has represented in such cases - he has yet to see a judge support these contracts or non-competes. The basis theory is you can stop someone earning a living and restrict their liberty to provide for family/self.

This isn’t the case

That sounds like the result of a poorly worded and should never happen under well thought out agreements. Poor advisors if any on this one.

It’s also available for python now also.
