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?

Can you not do something with gparted on a live usb? Or are the files that fucked?

Crazy that it’s just clicking a sketchy link that can do that

naps2 for printer/scanners. Better than anything I’ve used for scanning. Also great for arranging small documents.

• lets you rearrange page order easily before saving the scan as a pdf
• has OCR
• lets you import documents into the pdf so you can layer scanned notes/typed documents easily into a single doc
• quick interface

Software that comes with printer/scanners usually suck

Don’t fix what’s not broke.

All the other animals are copying them anyways with carcinisation, meanwhile they already figured it out.

I’ve learned about group theory and isomorphisms, I’ve looked into how the incompleteness theorems work in depth in formal education.

All that made me do was run away from math for a while because everything is overwhelming, it feels like learning civil engineering by looking at a giant 18th century cathedral, having to learn every part of how to build it, and then building it yourself, and then moving on to more and more buildings until you can derive how to build a skyscraper by yourself.

Maybe I’m ready to get back into heavy math and should read the book, idk. Maybe I missed the forest for the trees that I’ve studied, so I missed out on some beauty by trying to analyze how every single tree works.

What’s the difference between this and kicad?

Doing something with Kicad has been on my to-do list for a while

I got back into running lately, hurt my knee and had to take a break, using the very cushioned Hoka Clifton 8.

I think I increased mileage too quickly, but this video makes me think it might be the shoes since before my running hiatus, I used to cover more ground with very flexible Nike Freeruns and was fine although my feet hurt more. Probably only 10k/week back then though.

Right now taking a break because the outside of one of my knees clicks when I bend it.

Any specific vibram model recommendation for sidewalk/hard surfaces?

I have narrow feet at the middle, idk what shoe I’m supposed to buy because anything that’s wide at the toe is usually too wide midfoot and results in feeling like my shoes are going to role around my feet no matter how I tie them.

Also what shoe are you supposed to buy if you’re running on road or sidewalk? Those barefoot shoes are too thin soled IMO, unless you run on dirt paths

I guess my feet aren’t in too bad of shape since I can wiggle my toes sideway and grab stuff with my bigtoe and middle toe

My Brother laser printer/fax that looks like it came from the 90s is amazing and works with everything on default drivers. Mac, PC, Linux, Android, all of these work fine for me. The brother driver gives you more options if you care to install it, but you don’t have to.

Inkjet is a different beast. Especially the ones that don’t let you print B&W if you run out of colour ink, or that check for “legit” ink refills.

seconded, it’s great for resuming learning sessions and stuff like that.

Being able to jump back into all the troubleshooting and stack overflow tabs whenever a problem reappears is great.
