@jerryjliu0 Just pay the couple of bugs per a thousand pages for Mistral OCR (which is SOTA for this task). I don't see how this micro optimization brings you any value

Parsing PDFs at scale with LLMs is cost prohibitive. Newer models (e.g. gemini 3) are good at reading pdfs, but you burn unnecessary vision tokens even when the page is text heavy. We’ve built in a “cost-optimizer” within LlamaParse that will dynamically route pages to fast/cheap parsing depending on its complexity. Complex pages (e.g. those with tables/charts/diagrams) will still get routed to our VLM-enabled modes. This will let you save anywhere from 50-90% of parsing costs, at much higher accuracy compared to the comparable mode of feeding screenshots into VLMs. Check it out! cloud.llamaindex.ai

@ki_agent Ausgezeichneter Kommentar. Falls 2028 Demokraten die Präsidentschaft zurückholen, wird das Pendel mit der gleichen Gestaltungsenergie wie jetzt unter Trump zurückschlagen. Einziger Lichtblick: es wird ehrlicher.

Man muss befürchten, dass das was man in den USA jetzt sieht, auch nach Deutschland schwappt. Die Parteien haben sich davon verabschiedet, den Willen aller Wähler zu respektieren und in den Parlamenten zusammenzuarbeiten. Stattdessen wurde von den Linken über Jahrzehnte hinweg das politische System unterwandert und der Gegner verteufelt. Jetzt sind die anderen am Zug und sie setzen die Eskalation in entgegengesetzter Richtung fort. Es ist verständlich, dass Rechte, Konservative und Liberale eine Art Genugtuung erfahren, wenn jetzt dem linken Treiben plötzlich ein Ende gesetzt wird. Wenn aber das politische Ausdiskutieren unterschiedlicher Meinungen von den Parlamenten auf die Straße getragen wird, die eigenen Anhänger gegen die „bösen“ anderen mobilisiert werden, dann wird aus der Regierung die Herrschaft. Die unterlegene Partei und ihre Wähler werden nicht mehr in den politischen Prozess einbezogen, sondern beherrscht. Die Grundlegung für diese Eskalation erleben wir schon seit vielen Jahren in Deutschland. Linkslastige Medien, die Verteuflung der Konservativen als Nazis, der Versuch die Opposition zu verbieten oder deren Kandidaten nicht zur Wahl zuzulassen, all das schafft exakt die Stimmung, die sich derzeit in den USA entlädt. Und es hilft nichts, sich jetzt aber auf der „richtigen“ Seite zu wähnen. Demokratie heißt Kooperation, Einigung, Verständnis, Akzeptanz und nicht Brandmauern, Verteuflung und Straßenkampf.

More "transport plastic" in the trash than bottle plastic in the deposit return machine. Green policies in Germany are a joke

Winter is upon us

@Farmer_Jeff63 @cattleguy92 @FoxNews Plant in Fall, cut in spring, graze from there on

@cattleguy92 @FoxNews I’ve thought about returning some ground to pasture that was broken out 60 years ago but not sure how long it would take to establish.

There is an alternative to all this. It’s not necessarily easy though. Maybe it’s time for @FoxNews to interview guys like me again because we have a bit different take on this all. 1- we cut our own throat by buying into the big Ag narrative and hamster wheel! 2- we can’t and shouldn’t expect handouts 3- we raise more grain than the world can get to or pay for those who actually need it 4-we shoot ourselves in the foot by buying million dollar equipment and paying high cash rent just to try and make more 5- taking ground from cattle production and putting it into grain because it’s easier money was dumb 6- we showed and sent money to SA so they could eventually take over as producers. That can’t be taken back and we can’t subsidize our way out! Now A Warning!!!- If we don’t keep our independent Beef production alive we will soon be in the same boat with it!!

@ClaydonDrill So striptill with a big ripper? Untouched area 15%?

Leading tine technology moves soil just where the seed is going to go and where the roots are going to grow, leaving the banks in between undisturbed. #claydondrill #claydontinetechnology #claydonleadingtine #loveyoursoil #directdrill #soillife #growingzone #SimpleAsThat

@FredVLarsen When the Lucerne becomes too patchy, when is a good time to reseed and how?

3rd year lucerne #livingmulch looking alright. Nice regrowth though a little patchy. Will get 2 weeks more growth then mowing and notill winter wheat next.

@ObrechtTyrel What company are the collars from?

1880 acre fenced pasture. Got ‘em on 175 acres for a while by using the Vence Collars. Really happy with the results this year. Turned 2 pastures into 15 so far, with about 33% of those pastures seeing total rest.

@raweyhrich Brutal!

@__tinygrad__ How does this compare to Eigen (in principle)? eigen.tuxfamily.org/index.php?titl…

Everyone knows about Flash Attention. But do you know about Flash GEMM? This code computes (A @ B) @ C on NxN matrices with N intermediates and no recomputation. If you don't use a BLAS library, you don't need to materialize the intermediate matrix.

@vonderleyen I don't recall ever seeing that woman on a ballot. Unelected bureaucrat negotiating on our behalf and used as a mop by Trump administration

Together, the EU and the US are a market of 800 million people.   And nearly 44 percent of global GDP. It’s the biggest trade deal ever ↓ twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

If combine monitors measured net revenue generated per acre instead of yield per acre…our country, our communities, our operations, and our farms soil health would look completely different than it does today.

@simonw It was happening, just not fully automated

I'm seeing a whole lot of posts blaming that egregious Tea app data leak on vibe coding I don't think vibe coding was involved at all: the statement from Tea says the leak involved "a legacy data storage system" from February 2024 - vibe coding wasn't really happening back then

@sxtvik Are you the app that tried to sell me a username before I could even launch the app?

We have 270,000 users today. Our retention rates are outperforming industry average. We have our own infrastructure and our own apps. We have built new and unique primitives for payments, data, and social graphs. We have shipped several successful and thoughtful products in short time spans. We have industry-wide partnerships. We have a global reach that extends far outside of crypto users. We’ll end this year profitable. We achieved all this without KOLs, airdrop farming, or paid marketing. I would like to meet some serious VCs who aren’t seeking max token extraction and like to invest in long term companies.

@FredVLarsen Please expand on what is going on here! You have established Lucerne, you cut it, then direct seeded oats into the Lucerne, and after combining the Lucerne will come back? What about weed control? Not necessary?

What a nice surprise. Managed to get the winter milling oats with the #livingmulch below off in good condition. Not much lucerne yet but hoping for a nice lucerne #livingmulch regrowth. Oat yield: 9,5 ton/ha which we are very happy with.

@FredVLarsen That crop was in the field for almost an entire year?

Finally we managed to harvest the ultra early planted (1st Aug) BYDV resistant winter hybrid barley. Yield 9,9 ton/ha in a 1 ha trial plot. Harvest 10th July 2025. #biannualcereal

@Wyefarm My father always says: in 1 out of 20 years, spring barley turns a profit

Utterly utterly awful. Spring Barley ~4t/ha. Started at 13% this morning, stopped now at 11.2%.

@buperac @Droogstoppel13 Unless you do cattle

@Droogstoppel13 Everyone pocket but the farmers.

Wonder why farmers are shitting themselves when they aren't getting the rains? This gives you a pretty good idea. In the past 13 years farmer inputs have increased by 68% Equipment costs up 75% Commercial seed up 49% Fertilizer prices have doubled. This is not sustainable.

@jasonmauck1 That doesn't look like fun. The harvest window must be tiny

Anybody can #plantgreen You have to Harvest while striping green if you want to be gaining an edge.
