Mistral OCR 4 30 days ago

True, same conclusion, but the few samples I tried showed some real improvements since dec 2025 version.

This.

Any complex parent table span cell relationship still has low accuracy.

Try the reverse, take a complex picture table and ask Chatgpt5, claude Opus 3.1, Gemini Pro 2.5 to produce a HTML table.

They will fail.

It all started a year ago during a crypto fever run. A bitcoin coin is cool, but you know what's better? A gigantic Bitcoin bronze.

At first with an out-of-scale wooden version, then things started getting serious. 3D printer, silicon, and molten copper. Making such a piece with a mirror finish requires fine art expertise and took several trials.

The sculpture is signed by the foundry and encrusted with the bitcoin payment transaction hash on its side. It is close to impossible to counterfeit such a piece. Each foundry has its own signature based on the shares of each metal composing the bronze. Moreover, being handmade, two sculptures will never look exactly the same.

What do you think?

Vue 2.0 is here 10 years ago

I have worked on ember, backbone marionette and react. Vue JS really shines by its simplicity and speed while embracing all the concepts we expect from a modern js framework _ component based, flux style store management with vuex, reactive dom. Documentation is great and we built great stuff and enjoyed the journey so far.

Granted the current state of JS is a bit of a joke. That said spend a week or two on understanding web components, virtual dom, immutable.js, webpack, babel and its plugins and you are good to go.

Being from the France tech scene and now living in SF ther are several things we should not forget.

CONS

- Yes you get big taxes, and setting up a company is a pain (RSI/URSSAF), administration is slow and inefficient.

Finding fundings can be hard and investements are generaly smaller than in the US.

French market is smal unless your target is international from day 1.

But,

PROS

- You have a pool of not so pricy talented workers (Well supposing you benefit from “Credit impot recherche” otherwise the total cost of an employee is x2 his salary).

- Fight for some government subsidies (time consuming).

- Leverage the government to pay your salary while bootstrapping. For startupers with previous work experience, you can quit your company in good terms and receive unemployement paychecks for a year or so.

I do not get it, didnt anyone have at least a few female classmates from their uni time?. Even at work, in France, we have some bright female engineers leading guys on code reviews. It should not be surprising to see female bitcoin crypto fans.
