I find it interesting that there's all these independent AI-OCR Projects but still no commercial offering. Is it still too inaccurate, too complex or simply too expensive?

great analysis! thank you

for that case i'd just go with plexamp and self-host the music.

yeah it doesn’t work if you try it with https://youtube.com

i really like the idea though

I also got that from the subtext

why do you have a record player with bluetooth in the first place. isn't that against the very concept of an analogue medium?

i think the nytimes landing page does a good job at looking and feeling like an analogue newspaper

Love NTS. Human-curated radio is still the best way to find new music :)

plexamp (in combination with tailscale) works very well :)

i use rsync from my itunes/music.app library to the smb synology drive that acts as my plexamp library. works very well :)

Whats the main advantages to plexamp? From what i can tell from the screenshots, the UI looks very clean.

Yeah it's a very small study. But there's a huge online community of long-covid and me/cfs sufferers (10k + people) who tried it out and report back in form of a facebook group. And there's actually quite a success rate. Which again is hard to quantify but nevertheless...

„In contrast to the well-known addictive potential linked to the chronic inhalation of nicotine, none of the trials could show a nicotine dependency after the withdrawal of transcutaneous nicotine application at the end of the investigations“

still one of the best (if not THE best) places to discover contemporary art in vienna.

Such a nice interview though. It's cool that something like this is happening on a mainstream platform like Jon Stwarts Daily Show

which is not a bad thing

what are you talking about

Fully agree. I started to install the newest iOS & MacOS releases just before the next major version is being released. I'm always one version behind but kinda works well this way.

haha nice tested with similar artists (eartheater, doon kanda, dean blunt...) :)) works really well. i'm impressed!

Def. NTS-Radio Love it

fully agree. AI should cite and reference the material it's using

Can confirm Rectangle works really well and consumes close to none ram or cpu. You can even disable it from the menu bar so it feels very native

i can very recommend Mina Le:

Thanks. That sounds like a nice webapp. In my case it's easier to copy the text from the Mac Preview. Since M1 it does OCR quite well. This way I don't have to convert the pdf to png. Still i'd love a fully automated way.

i've been using an adopted version since about 6month now and it's actually works great. I really like that every file now has a specific place. I even transferred the concept to my offline documents and folders.

When the PDF is very clearly structured it's working just fine. But let's say the layout consists of multiple columns and complex formatting the output gets very imprecise. If the material is scanned it won't function at all.

Very interesting, thank you! Do have more resources on that topic (not just the genx aesthetic but more in general)?

i think it’s a super cool concept. my favourite aesthetic must be the Gen X Soft Club

does anyone know a good way to convert pdf's to epub. I tried calibre but the inconsistent formatting of pdf's make this really buggy. Is there any OCD / machine learning solution out there? :)

But that's exactly the point. Contemporary art is not about taste, it's about reflecting on the world we are living in. Economy, politics, technology...

Just look at artists like Simon Denny or Hito Steyerl
