@jerryjliu0 ran LlamaParse playground on a 1,000-page regulatory PDF. billing tables that matter came out 100% accurate row-for-row. ~90% on body text. form layouts broke but structured data held up.
table fidelity mattered most for us. v impressive

This is why we released liteparse :)
Free, open-source, designed for agents.
Natively supports OCR / screenshotting for deeper visual understanding in a document when needed.

@kepano I just tried it this morning on the 245-page Mythos pdf and it failed badly and the outputs were all mangled. Converting pdfs is really hard, I think it has to probably be a Skill not a program, for a SOTA LLM for it to work properly.

@MadNorskie @jakozloski Honestly I don't really care bc no amount of money buys a Dutch person a personality

There are roughly 30 men in the entire US who are 6'5", blue eyes, trust fund, work in finance.
One of the most common problems we see at Keeper: someone sets three or four non-negotiable filters that, combined, mathematically eliminate almost everyone in their city. No dating app has ever told them that.
Keeper does. We show you exactly how many people are in your pool for any filter combination so you can see the real cost of each dealbreaker before you spend weeks waiting for matches that can't exist.

We’re open sourcing the first document OCR benchmark for the agentic era, ParseBench.
Document parsing is the foundation of every AI agent that works with real-world files. ParseBench is a benchmark that measures parsing quality specifically for agent knowledge work:
✅ It optimizes for semantic correctness (instead of exact similarity)
✅ It has the most comprehensive distribution of real-world enterprise documents
It contains ~2,000 human-verified enterprise document pages with 167,000+ test rules across five dimensions that matter most: tables, charts, content faithfulness, semantic formatting, and visual grounding.
We benchmarked 14 known document parsers on ParseBench, from frontier/OSS VLMs to specialized parsers to LlamaParse. Here are some of our findings:
💡 Increasing compute budget yields diminishing returns - Gemini/gpt-5-mini/haiku gain 3-5 points from minimal to high thinking, at 4x the cost.
💡 Charts are the most polarizing dimension for evaluation. Most specialized parsers score below 6%, while some VLM-based parsers do a bit better.
💡 VLMs are great at visual understanding but terrible at layout extraction. GPT-5-mini/haiku score below 10% on our visual grounding task, all specialized parsers do much better.
💡 No method crushes all 5 dimensions at once, but LlamaParse achieves the highest overall score at 84.9%, and is the leader in 4 out of the 5 dimensions.
This is by far the deepest technical work that we’ve published as a company. I would encourage you to start with our blog and explore our links to Hugging Face to GitHub. All the details are in our full 35-page (!!) ArXiv whitepaper.

@BonesawMD If we just set the clock back 30 minutes would you be on time? Lol
English
Once you understand the internal state of those who are consistently late to things you no longer feel anger towards them.
The idea that it's because they're being 'selfish' is one of those boomer clock slave beliefs – Embarrassingly poor theory of mind.
Jason Pargin, author of John Dies at the End, etc@JasonKPargin
My most uncharitable belief is that if you're chronically late to things, you're just a bad person. And I mean I don't think it's possible to routinely be late to events/work/appointments *unless* you're just a selfish person with no concern for anyone else.

@BoringBiz_ Senior VP with above 2M networth? lmao that isn't a senior VP, that's an associate with a VP title
English
Recently grabbed coffee with a senior VP at a very well-known private equity firm
Well above $2M in net worth. Not enough to fully retire but can walk away for a better work life balance if he wants to
Just had a kid few months ago and now struggling to decide between continuing this career path or shifting to something that would let him spend more time with family
I asked him what is keeping him at the current firm, beyond just money
His answer was simple: "Insecurity. I might look back in 10 years and feel bad knowing that my friends are buying their second vacation homes while I walked away to chase an easier life. Whatever job or title I have next would not earn me the same respect"
That is when it really hit me
A lot of people stay in high-performing careers, not even because they need the money, but rather because they are used to a certain level of status and respect from people around them
This only gets worse as you move higher up the ladder and start spending time around people at the same level in terms of career or wealth
I asked him if he was okay if I posted this on my X and sought advice on what my followers would do.
He agreed.
So I am genuinely curious: what would you do if you were in his situation?

@buccocapital What's most interesting to you is not the same as what's most interesting to me

I would pay a lot of money for some AI solution that clips the 10 most interesting minutes from the podcasts I follow and gives me an hour or two of the best content each week

@minordissent What can you do to actively combat this? Any great parenting podcasts or books for male parenting that isn't bombarded by female-coded social brainwashing?
English
One of the most important things to be aware of as a parent are the Jungian archetypes of mother and father. Namely the big four of: devouring mother, permissive mother, Tyrannical father, and passive father. You will almost certainly fall into one of these dysfunctional roles if you do not actively combat doing so.

@IterIntellectus How does this stack up against carnivores who report all the good stuff that comes with cutting out plants
English
the more fiber you eat, the more it reduces cardiovascular death. unless you have diabetes. then it does nothing
that's because fiber doesn't protect you, it feeds the bacteria that protect you.
short chain fatty acids, butyrate, the whole anti-inflammatory cascade, none of it comes from the fiber itself but from what a working microbiome does with the fiber diabetes is a marker that the microbiome producing those metabolites is already gone

As washing machine technology improved, we simply started washing clothes more and more.
Now many people wash towels after every shower for each person, could be 6+ towels a day.
Many people never re-wear anything without washing it, not even jeans.

I feel like my family has an excessive amount of laundry. I can never ever get ahead. It is always just mountains of laundry. I do laundry every week yet there are always mountains of it I tend to wash all the clothes & fold/put them away within 1-2 days I have started paying attention. I did all of the laundry 7 days ago. Today I did all of the laundry again I have 6 pairs of clothes to put away. That makes sense My daughter has 12 My son has 15 somehow I don’t excessively change my children’s clothes & tbh when they’re home they are so often in the backyard in their underwear so HOW ARE THERE SO MANY CLOTHES IN THE LAUNDRY Dude has 8 pairs of shorts/pants but 12 (!!!!) tshirts + 5 days of work uniform (so that makes it 14 pairs of clothes, but 5 days of those non-work clothes he would only have worn for a few hours in the evening after taking off uniform & he generally doesn’t do anything too strenuous on weekday evenings so those clothes aren’t really dirty) MY FAMILY IS JUST THROWING CLEAN FUCKING CLOTHING INTO THE HAMPERS I AM GONNA LOSE MY MIND

@homegymcoop yes, this is what the centenarians are doing - these machines were invented 70 years ago
English
Japanese gym equipment is extremely unconventional.
Instead of training just hypertrophy, their machines often strengthen through mobility.
They also have 5x the amount of centenarians than the US.
I think they’re onto something.

You know a nation is declining rapidly when the younger generation want to leave and another older generation wants to force them to stay.

Interesting question, which jobs actually are 9am-5pm with a high salary?
No calls or emails when home, ability to take true old school, non-working, out of touch vacations (let's say minmum of 4 weeks a year totally off).
blue@bluewmist
hot take: 9-5 with a high salary is better than owning your own business.

This arg went so hard when I like 17. The fact that grown men still make it almost 20 years later feels like a mosquito trapped in amber.

If God is perfectly good, He would desire to save everyone. If He is all-powerful, He would be able to do so. If both are true, everyone would be saved. Since not everyone is saved, either God lacks power, lacks goodness, or does not exist. Choose wisely.

What is a severely out-of-date technology you're still forced to use regularly?

I am once again reminding you that a “9-5 with a high salary” does not exist

@reidhslaughter @burkov I forget people with this IQ level exist sometimes and posts like this confirm it lol

@burkov They are using the API, not subscription. So they're using it far more.
