Do you think that there are security or data exfiltration risks with their approach, e.g. putting classified documents/emails into private company's LLMs to summarize information or identify certain ideological motivations? I don't see how they could begin to understand the scope of what they're working with without A.I. assistance.
Kudos on a great game! If you ever expand or open source this, let me know. The mechanics and design are great and could really blossom into something fun and expansive (especially if users could submit levels).
Can't say it'll solve all your problems, but try Florence-2. It's worked well on some handwritten documents for me when all the text is a relatively uniform size.
I recently had the idea to record every note coming out of my digital piano in real-time. That way if I come up with a good idea when noodling around I don’t have to hope I can remember it later.
I was debating what storage layer to use and decided to try SQLite because of its speed claims — essentially a single table where each row is a MIDI event from the piano (note on, note off, control pedal, velocity, timestamp). No transactions, just raw inserts on every possible event. It so far has worked beautifully: it’s performant AND I can do fun analysis later on, e.g. to see what keys I hit more than others or what my average note velocity is.
If you play ten note chords — one for each finger — in quick succession, that can rack up a lot of inserts in short time period (say, medium-worst case, 100Hz, for playing a chord like that five times per second, counting both “on” and “off” events).
It’s also worth taking into consideration damper pedal velocity changes. When you go from “off” (velocity 0) to fully “on” and depressed (velocity 127), a lot of intermediate values will get fired off at high frequency.
Ultimately though you are right; it’s not enough frequency of information to overload SQLite (or a file system), probably by several orders of magnitude.
A 1/100th of a second is still an eternity for a modern computer. It's easy to forget just how insanely fast computers are when user-facing software still lags all the time. You really do need to go out of your way to make performance an issue here (or stack too many abstractions).
Agreed. Tesseract is not able to handle handwriting or text that is distorted well, e.g. colored text over an image background — to the point that it would hurt any downstream LLM trying to make sense of the contents. It won’t even pick out bounding boxes.
I doubt they are running an OCR model, but if they actually were it would likely be an in-house one trained with more modern techniques.
Sure, anyone who is part of a majority group. If there is only "one kind" of person with similar experiences, that's how everyone tends to think or perceive. Only when an outside enters, or the Majority leaves their population and goes to another Majority, or Mixed population, will do face that question : Am I racist?
I guess different people have different definitions, but to me I'd think of a racial bias that make you think someone different to you is superior wouldn't be considered racism.
For example, if a <skin colour 1> person things that all people of <different skin colour> are basically the same but all seem to be more intelligent than people of <colour 1>, it's definitely a racial bias but is it really racist to think that a different group of people have an advantage somehow?
Arguably it's still racism, even though it's your own genetics you're putting down rather than other people's, but as an example: if a black person in the USA said "I don't think I'll try to go to university, it seems white people find academic work easier" I'd call it internalised racism, or racially biased, but I wouldn't call that person "a racist" even though I disagree with them. Then again, if they started going round trying to convince everyone else that black people aren't as clever as white people, then I would consider them racist despite being the skin colour they're being racist against. To me it's about negativity towards a group vs. misguided thinking, rather than about whether it's against people like you or not.
