The user discusses the benefits and limitations of vitamin D supplements, citing various studies and trials that show mixed results, but concludes that taking vitamin D may be beneficial for people with low levels, particularly those with severe deficiency. The user also suggests that daily doses of vitamin D may be safer and more effective than large, intermittent doses, and that raising ...
People tried to validate email addresses by sending spam, retrying from different servers, but this approach is flawed and can be easily blocked by content filtering. This method is likely facilitated by a SaaS or automated tool, possibly created by a misconfigured or malfunctioning AI.
This CLI tool, ffs, reads disks directly and is faster than ripgrep for large file searches, but slower for small directories due to kernel cache. It supports various file systems, including journaling, B-tree, and APFS, but has limitations and security restrictions.
Send a single email or make a direct call to urge a NO vote on AB 2047, citing its rushed passage and contradictions, as well as its unworkable technology requirements and unfair penalties. The bill also unfairly targets small businesses and makers, while exempting undefined groups such as entertainment studios.
The model Unlimited-OCR is available on ModelScope for inference using Huggingface transformers on NVIDIA GPUs. It supports single image and multi-page parsing with various configurations.
I was fired by Google two months ago for creating a viral Google Workspace CLI that disrupted their plans. Google announced an official Workspace CLI two days before my termination, revealing their fear of disruption.

For all the spacecraft humanity has sent into the outer solar system, only one has ever landed there. Everything else, from the Pioneers and Voyagers to Galileo, Cassini and Juno, has flown past or orbited from a distance. Just a single probe has descended through an alien sky and come to rest on the ground beyond the asteroid belt: the European Huygens probe, which parachuted through the ...
AI hiring tools increase racial bias and shut out certain groups from jobs, with 26% of Black applicants and 15% of Asian applicants facing discrimination. Market concentration and shared dependence on a single vendor exacerbate these issues, highlighting the need for independent research into algorithmic hiring.
Lift4D is a test-time optimization framework for 3D reconstruction from monocular video, combining visual cues with data-driven priors. It improves over prior methods by providing coherent initialization and occlusion-aware optimization for challenging in-the-wild sequences.
The batch cannot be applied due to multiple invalid suggestions. Suggestions cannot be applied in certain situations such as deleted lines, pending reviews, and queued pull requests.
Their capacity for flight is magical, almost animate, reflected in the names by which they are known around the world. In Greek, they are χαρταετοί, paper eagles, and the Germans call them Drachen, dragons. French children float flying stags (cerf-volant) above the earth — although “cerf”, here, is likely a corruption of the Occitan serp, snake — and in Russian, too, they are serpents of the ...

AI platforms are subsidizing their products to generate massive demand, but this strategy is unsustainable as costs are rising and users are being forced to switch to token-based pricing, which is eye-wateringly expensive. The AI industry is facing a debt crisis, with estimated debt of $3T, and needs to replace human labor on a colossal scale to service the debt, which is a daunting task.
The rise of large pickup trucks and SUVs in the US has led to a 75% increase in pedestrian deaths since 2009, with taller hoods and larger blind zones being major contributing factors. Our analysis estimates that about 200-400 pedestrians a year would not have died if vehicles had remained approximately the same size over the past quarter-century.
Plotnine is a Python data visualization package based on the grammar of graphics, similar to ggplot2 in R. It's used to create customized visualizations like Anscombe's Quartet with features like coloring, trend lines, and faceting.
