I don't really need the locally trained AI to recognize general handwriting, only my own.

I could provide a few pages of my own training data (maybe write out a few pages of "quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" and other stuff like that), and then ideally it flags stuff it's unsure about and I clarify some more. Maybe find garbled nonsensical sentences, realize it's probably a mistake, and try and fix it.

I assumed the leaps in AI would have taken care of this by now, since detecting handwritten letters from touch pen-strokes existed in the 90s. But I guess handing it a chunk of text is too different of a problem, instead of feeding it stroke by stroke?

I'm looking for something that I can scan hand-written notes into and have OCR'd. Maybe one that I can even train on my handwriting. Ideally I end up with a searchable PDF of my notes.

People use one-note for this, but I'm not really comfortable with letting microsoft see my handwriting.

Canada has the same vehicle size issue. Large pickup trucks/SUVs are similarly popular. Everyone here goes 15km/h over, unless there's speed cameras which are only by schools.

I wouldn't be surprised if impaired driving was a big factor, in Canada it's the equivalent of a felony even if you don't hit anyone. In the US it seems like people treat it closer to being a speed ticket.

I was thinking something like "wascal" but with the real r-word slur.

The n-word hard-r is definitely worse than the n-word soft-r/a, but Linus' definition of hard vs soft r is more ambiguous as to which one is worse if used in a sentence.

It's funny what this implies he thinks a "soft R" means

Israel is the "rogue state" that everyone international-community-1 international-community-2 is scared North Korea or Iran would turn into if they got nukes.

I hope it's also underpowered enough for my laptop to run a Cease and Desist-ed emulator of it.

Netanyahu should be in jail for stuff that even the avg Israeli would take issue with (corruption), let alone the genocide stuff that they don't take issue with.

"I personally, as a mother and wife, look carefully at my credit card bill once a month, and last Sunday I said to the kids, 'You're older now. You don't watch Disney anymore. Let's cut that Disney+ subscription,"'

"I believe that I need to take exactly the same approach with the federal government's finances, because that's the money of Canadians."

You will use the King Charles stamps.

You will half-assedly learn French for several years in elementary and highschool, but not enough to even be conversational.

You will learn who the real winners of the war of 1812 were.

Get ready to learn the proper context in which to say eh, and start calling people bud/buddy, buddy.

Do you live in a place with winter?

Non-white people are a lot worse at synthesizing vitamin D into their body through sunlight. To get enough vitamin D you need 30 minutes outside if white, 2 hours if black.

Winter depression is a thing because you go to work when it's dark, you leave work it's already sunset if you have an office job.

idk if those times even work in the winter when you don't even expose your entire face because it cold.

When I first read it I thought it was a scam. Blackrock is offering one of these, it's legit. Why the hell are the SEC allowing it now in the year of our lord 2024? Is the growth machine really that stagnant that they need this?

brrrrrrrrrrrr

For everyone else needing to block stuff:

Torrents:

  • 1337x for torrents
  • YTS for HD movies
  • EZTV for shows

Streaming:

  • fmovies
  • popcornflix
  • stremio
  • movie.sqeezebox.dev

Weird that it listed crackle, I thought that was owned by Sony and had licensed stuff on it. I remember using it twice on my PSP because that was the only streaming video app for it.

Also weird to list snagfilms which was also licensed stuff

In an economy as tightly controlled as China, how much does deflation even matter?

Also I wonder how everywhere else having inflation will interact with this. Is China just getting affected because the rest of the world can't afford basic necessities anymore? The article kinda touches on reduced demand from countries with inflation abroad causing this, but also doesn't really explain anything other than going "lower number is uh bad"
