For those who can’t/won’t read the article - the author argues that the answer is “no - it’s not a repeat”.

If I went back in time to the 90s when I was doing my PhD I would absolutely blow my mind with how well handwriting OCR works now.

Same is true in a lot of old platformer games. Real physics feels horrible.

Yeah, I really like the low gravity during my dreams

The lack of examples makes me very reluctant to commit any time to trying this out - despite it being something that I’m interested in.

Has anyone given any it a go? Does it work?


What? There are examples in the repo and even in OP’s post.

I haven’t tried it, but there are plenty of examples.


Do you mean example commands? we see those examples on the githib README, yes,

But people here are probably also looking for example input and output PDFs (or images/screenshots) showing the actual work done to get a sense of what to expect.


Exactly - if these examples work really well, then include some screenshots.

What would be your definition of “upstanding citizens”.

I’ve found that people tend to respond as you have until the laws impact themselves or their friends. Then it’s very much a case of - I didn’t think this applied to us…


People following the actual immigration law, like I did. This very much impacts me and has determined my family's country of residence for many years. The process is horrible, but we still aren't cheating and I don't appreciate being skipped by people that are cheating.

I've spent hours on immigrations forums trying to understand the law and have filed many US Federal forms (and have mad mistakes) taken years to get action done while following the law.

It really feels like a slap in the face to the people who do the "right thing" to allow others to be allowed in freely not following the law.

Fix the issues first.



Pretty clear what’s happened from reading the article. The native Mac application comes for free as a result of their native iOS application.

The same is not true of the native windows application.


The native windows application comes for free as a result of the Windows Phon... oh right.

Now it makes sense why Microsoft would get concerned that losing mobile might lead to losing the desktop.


I’m increasingly finding things easier to deal with by categorising them into: things I can control; things that are beyond my control.


I find most people can't accurately sort the two though. They perceive what others do as within their control and it drives them mad


A lot of things are happening behind closed doors.

The real value is in horribly manual internal processes where the solutions are agents driving very specific tools that drive weird and wacky systems.

Generic out of the box agents that will solve your particular problem are not a thing yet.

In regard to it’s just an “API pipeline” - the power of agents should be - which set of API calls do I string together to solve a user’s request.


Can you share some examples of these things behind the door? I am really looking to identify few of these use cases.


I see this too. The focus on “believable ROI” makes it very hard to do.
