"I show that Vision Language Models used zero-shot outperform every existing OCR system across every script evaluated, and I propose a pipeline for deploying them on new collections. I apply it to six archival collections spanning 1.8 million pages across six countries for under $1,900."

An old screenshot talking about Google on top. It says "Google is a pure search engine β€” no weather, no news feed, no links to sponsors, no ads, no distractions, no portal litter. Nothing but a fast-loading search site. Reward them with a visit. Below is a screenshot from The Phantom Menace, where Anakin Skywalker is walking next to a building and behind him you see the shadow of Darth Vader.

The pro-redistricting campaigns in New York and Virginia should be based on one sole argument: Vote yes and piss off Texans and Floridians. Voters will come out in droves for that.

Top 20 Reggae LP chart as published in the UK music paper Black Echoes on 6th March 1976. You can find this chart and more on the great website www.ukreggaehistory.com

The Reggae album chart as published in Black Echoes 50 years ago this week.

It's notable to see that nearly half of the chart are dub LPs and most of the others are roots and DJ albums including U Roy at No. 1. Dread In A Babylon indeed!

That's not what this article says, notably not even in the headline. It says an anonymous source said that the AI use was *likely*. The source has no personal knowledge and is noting that it is the "immediate theory". Let's keep this clear.

Yesterday at the AbolishICE festival a friend pointed out the guy in a "press" bulletproof vest (but no press credentials), wearing sunglasses on a rainy day, methodically scanning the crowd with his phone. Someone told me there was another on the other side of a crowd. /1

This is not surprising. I’m glad he heard thousand of people chanting fuck ICE. But …

Chlorine dioxide is an industrial bleach for lumber and freaks like RFK give autistic kids enemas with it. Kids die from the practice. These people just want autistic kids dead.

Sure, aging means we all forget thingsβ€”why we entered a room, where the phone wandered off to, whether we took our meds. But whatever is going on with this man isn’t your garden‑variety senior moment; it’s a full‑scale departure from reality.

They're going to write books about all the big brain moves of this gang of imbeciles and among them will be "Spending a year trying to kill renewable energy and then launching a war that sends oil prices soaring"

It’s about time someone said it out loud on a national news show.
