  • Dustin (SmarterEveryDay) has weird energy and not in a good way. It comes off as a little creepy.

    Yeah, for sure. Having been around both evangelicals (especially) and Mormons a lot, I’m pretty sensitive to the “subtle” proselytizing and hate it. And it really comes off to me as if he has a thing for her and is being kinda weird about it, as repressed Christian guys are wont to do (speaking from past personal experience).

    I didn’t know anything about the hydrogen stuff until the earlier comment.



  • I find her suspicious in general. She sends up some red flags for me, but maybe I’m just being a misogynistic hater without realizing it. Also, she and the Christian military dude (SmarterEveryDay?) have weird chemistry. I’ve asked YouTube to stop showing me anything from them so I’m not an expert. They both kinda creep me out, I don’t know.






  • I don’t have a specific figure for you. My use-case is I’m trying to write a non-fiction book. I’ve got a ton of old newspaper articles in PDF format. The Library of Congress’ built-in OCR is very helpful, but very lacking and, in some cases, can miss large swaths of pages or generate really unhelpful gibberish that requires painful cleaning. I’ve had similar results from every other OCR tool I’ve tried.

    Thus far, in using Claude/ChatGPT for transcription of a few dozen articles, I’ve only had to fix one individual stray word a few times. It’s been very close to perfect in my limited testing. High 90%. Impressively, with old newspaper articles where words have worn away or are otherwise very hard to make out even for me, it has done a great job of inferring/recognizing, where OCR would start generating gibberish. I haven’t tried hand-writing and suspect that’s a different beast, but I know there are tools that have cropped up to that end.
