Happy thanksgiving

Because they do not see children as people.

having nothing to contribute to the current parental trauma conversation because you dissociated through most of it and can't remember that period of your life anymore.

“and she saw me bleeding” a piece from my “does my mother love me?” collection.

If you wait on a condition variable in LundukeOS it doesn't ever wake up Because of woke...

Every confusing city website and dead-end government portal makes New Yorkers trust their leaders less and less. It's time for City government to enter the 21st century. We’re investing in five @NYCOfficeofTech PIT crews dedicated to modernizing New York City’s web tools and creating new, easy-to-use online resources. If you’re a software engineer, designer, or technologist who wants to help make City government work better and faster, apply to join our PIT crews at nyc.gov/pitcrew.

@subcountability oh yeah detexify is such a life-saver! I used it all the time during my PhD! It's crazy how much more we can now do with the frontier models! Science is amazing!

@kirancodes One of the longest online ML tools, detexify from 2009, let's you find symbols by drawing them in a paint like style detexify.kirelabs.org

never writing latex by hand ever again. You are not ready.

@rbarcrosspbar The latency isn't processing time, its artificially there for denouncing and as part of the design. Ive found that idiots are often reticent to think about what they've written before moving forward and would find pauses in their stream of slop an issue. Maybe this isn't for you

@kirancodes Holy latency !!🙏🙏

bait used to be believable

@krushiraj123 yeah I guess so

@kirancodes You mean by keyboard?

@_Felipe good point

@kirancodes Funny that it’s not by hand and by hand-writing instead.

@fcoder then don't use it????

@kirancodes It seems insanely slow and unreliable to me. How can I use it during the class, if I have to wait and revalidate results constantly?

@yaga_simha right exactly?? the models are surprisingly good at this. chuck it on an eink display and just cut down the iteration loop

@kirancodes I've already been exploiting Gemini to turn my handwritten formulae into LaTeX!

@Vibrantloop Boox Go

@kirancodes What's this thing called

@HarshaN18987860 who asked

@kirancodes too slow

@joseph_h_garvin ooh good point, having some audio input would also be pretty rad; might try throwing that together too

@kirancodes Doing the x like you did is cool but instead of writing the instructions should use voice

@xLexiLiesx I tried a bunch and for my handwriting light on ocr worked the best

@kirancodes Do you know of a good model for that? I was thinking a diffusion for the block transcription to a scout model for context and prose consistency confirmation before asking a small 4-8B model to then transcribe it and spell check me. Im probably over complicating it... lol

@xLexiLiesx It relies entirely on the image to text transcription model for converting your handwriting to text. So if you use a model that handles cursive well then it would work.

@kirancodes What about cursive?

@taziksh Nope, but i have heard good things!

@kirancodes Have you used typst

@MRNerzan Oh yeah! Good point!

@kirancodes isn't this literally writing it by hand?

@sharpeye_wnl Sleep tight!

@kirancodes i’ll take a nap between these iterations
