At least for paperless, one of the selling points is OCR plus text search. Do you can dump in all your receipts as photos, and then 3 years later, search “lawnmower” and find the receipt for it. (I dont know if this applies for this software, but its very nice in paperless)
Is this a fork of paperless?
I didn’t say you can’t have a GPU, but to me, its wasteful. I keep my jellyfin server off when not in use, and use WoL to start it when its needed.
I have played with local LLMs, and the models I used were unimpressive, but without knowing what the OP has in mind, we cant know how much power it will use. If it just spins up the GPU once a day for 20 minutes, probably okay, you won’t even notice it. But anyone like me who doesn’t already have a GPU in their lab will probably notice it quite clearly on their power bill.
A megacorps server farm is huge, but its also amortised over millions of users, they probably don’t need 1-1 GPU to customers, so the efficiency isnt necessarily bad. (Although at the moment, given megacorps are tripping over themselves to throw compute at LLM training, this may not be true)
Idle is low power, not zero power. And it won’t be idle when its scraping and parsing the sites, so depending on how much scraping its doing, it could be significant non-idle energy usage.
Yeah, absolutely. And running a GPU 24/7 to occasionally search is just a waste of power. I’m not convinced that google and bings AI search makes financial sense either, Google dropped live search (where the results updated as you typed realtime) because it was too expensive, how does LLM search end up cheaper than live search?!
Edit: This is the live search thing: https://searchengineland.com/test-google-updating-search-results-as-you-type-49116 ~~Annoyingly hard to find, and I can’t find the articles on its cancellation, but from memory it was related to expense. ~~
Edit2: Google Instant Search, and the death was blamed on mobile, and wanting to unify the mobile/desktop experience. I do vaguely remember expense being an unofficial/rumored reason, but I can’t back that up.
I personally have zero interest in AI search, if you mean LLM. The fact that it can make stuff up, also means it can miss stuff as well. Neither are acceptable for a search engine.
If you mean some kind of deterministic algorithm for indexing and searching, then maybe.
Also, attempting to crawl sites locally sounds like a great way to get banned from those sites for looking like a bot.
I really don’t want him remaking the video…
That is very weird, especially as it was renewed in 2024.

You have an interesting definition of “good things” my friend. As far as I can tell, it is down, which is why I didn’t put a content warning on it.

It still is a thing in some fonts: https://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/font-ligatures-for-your-code-editor-and-terminal
Took me a while to work out what they were called. Font rendering is hard :(
That is quite a unique quip. I love the idea of geo-based rendering, every application that renders text needs location access to be strictly correct :D.
I’d go further with the codepoint reduction, and delete w (can use uu) instead, and delete k (hard c can take its place)
weird o with the leg
Can you elaborate? Do you mean Q or p?
It’s why shareholders (ultra wealthy people) are the enemy of art and why publicly traded studios all go to shit after enough time.
No arguments there…
Your probably right, but gaming company’s do plenty of other risky stuff, like Concord etc. Would have been nice if they had at least tried to make a sims along the way.
The games industry is more than happy to throw away billions churning out copy-cat games, that compete in incredibly crowded genres, so it would have been nice if they had at least tried to compete in the one genre with only a single competitor. Its kinda funny that TS4s biggest competitor is TS3.
Its a big piece of work sure, but there haven’t even been attempts (that I know of).
And sims is priced so high (with all the expansions) that getting in that market seems feasable if one of the big names wanted to try.
Seems worth an attempt, rather than churning out copy-cat FPS/dots/battle royals/flavour-of-the-month games :/
EA have been pulling their shit for decades though, so its surprising no one has tried to eat their lunch before now.
Its kinda bizarre that there are so few Sims clones/replacements.
I’ve clicked the “install updates tonight” button a bunch of times, it consistently fails to update and then I have to force it to update the next morning. Incredibly poor experience.
Just to lightly temper your expectations, the OCR isnt perfect, and you may need to add your own tags/text, but its still an awesome system.
