YouTube auto-censors for inflammatory content, resulting in creative verbiage to work around the censoring.

One example is for the word "pedophile" - which results in many people saying "PDF file" as a substitute.

Now every time I make a PDF document 508-conformant, I chuckle to myself about how I could be misinterpreted when talking about how to make your PDF Files conform to US Government requirements.

Suddenly my professional training content seems a little inappropriate and NSFW.

Each day is a new descent into further depths of depravity, shame, and disappointment in my fellow Americans.

Thanks again, Trump...
Ya fucking child-raping scumbag!

Fuck Trump and every disgusting sociopath who supports him.

Dzisiaj pierwszy raz musiałem użyć programu typu: Edytor PDF.

Nadal nie mam pojęcia, dlaczego takie dziwaczne oprogramowanie musiało powstać.

Dlaczego nie przesyłamy sobie w 3 dekadzie 21 wieku plików .odf czy .docx?

Przypomina mi się sytuacja z czasów wdrażania dopiero e-mail, gdy mało kto miał:

W pierwszym biurze ktoś wpisuje tekst do komputerka. Drukuje. Wysyła faksem.
W drugim biurze ktoś odbiera faks i wpisuje tekst do komputerka, by było można posłać mailem innym osobom.

Myślałem, że już od tego odeszliśmy. No jednak nie. PDF rządzi w korespondencji...

#organizacja #dokumenty #formaty #PDF #ODF

Rediscovering my jailbroken #Kindle lately with #koreader and I'm kinda surprised how the #epub format feels somewhat forgotten across the web. I want to read through documentation for some stuff, and it's all perfectly laid out in a tree of pages yet it's not trivial to convert that to a sane epub.

Some documentation offers #PDF versions, but more often than not PDF conversion to epub is even less useful.

Anyone have tools they use to convert these sorts of web documents to nice epubs?

🚀 Running #OCR at scale with a #Vision #LLM for $0.49/hour

Just deployed dots.ocr (3B parameter Vision LLM by RedNote) on a single #RTX A6000 (48GB VRAM) via #RunPod. The results are great:

#ai #opensource

📄 The Setup
- Upload any #PDF → server converts each page to an image (PyMuPDF)
- Images are sent in parallel to #vLLM (continuous batching)
- The Vision LLM reads each page and returns clean Markdown

@cedric @timnitGebru @emilymbender #McAlpine's book is available on the #InternetArchive also under the same conditions: #LCM #DRM #PDF . He is noted for his role as political campaign director for the late #Margaret #Thatcher
@cedric @timnitGebru @emilymbender Generative AI can't even "read" everything, though. Two examples from my personal reading this week. Qwen "thought" Alistair McAlpine's book "The New #Machiavelli : The Art of Politics in Business" didn't exist, and could not attribute his quote "Bankruptcy is the spur to capitalism". Michael #Padlipsky's "The Elements of #Networking Style" isn't readable by LLMs because the #InternetArchive make it available only as an LCM #DRM protected #PDF file.
