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?

In Canada you have to pay extra for a 5G plan even if you have a 5G phone. And grandfathered plans/plans you’ve been on for a while keep the low speeds.

I had a super cheap prepaid plan with 3g speeds until I switched last month because I was on it for so long.

Some prepaid plans here just cut you off data completely unless you prepay for your overage. Others let you go over and charge you like $5 per 200mb over (ridiculous).

There are post-paid monthly plans that don’t do overage charges, but they throttle you so much it’s not really useful.

Edit: just checked, for 50 CAD (around 40 USD) you can get 100GB of 5G a month prepaid, for a plan that gives you complete US coverage as well.

That seems like a pretty bad deal actually, you can probably find a better 4g or even 5g plan in the US for that.

Prepaid companies in Canada (who generally have worse pricing than the US because all the cell companies have agreements with each other) have 20-40gb/month for that price (depending on the limited time sales), but not unlimited w/ throttling like you have.

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

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

The forest is bad practice with passwords, since you get an email of your password after setting it.

The tree is OP not knowing how to describe why it’s bad and saying the wrong reason why.

What’s the difference between this and kicad?

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

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.

What does the lower exchange between the ruble and the dollar mean then? The ruble is worth less dollars than before.

UBS (a Swiss bank) doesn’t really have reason to lie about the wealth increase. Is the exchange rate thing just because rubles are less useful internationally because sanctions?

The US has inflation, and if the ruble is worth less dollars then that means Russia has even more inflation.

Obviously all our media wants to paint a picture of Russia doing terribly, but I wonder what the actual picture is. All the companies that left Russia left behind all their shit for Russia to use which if anything helps them keep more production in their own borders.

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”
