I hired my wife one too. She's really enjoying it [1] [1] www.lacasitaspanishschool.com.au


Thanks for tool! I've been using this for conducting interviews.


No note [1] of programming a semi-automatic bullet feature.

Isn't that what "Copying bullets in Impress" is?


Yes please, would love this. Feel free to email me from profile. Thanks


A feature I've requested (no response, paid membership) is to hide radio stations. This is because I like to trial each radio station in a region before I favourite it. It's difficult to keep track of which station I've trialled if there's no way to hide them or leave a note on them. Hiding them from the map would be most effective.


+1 this sounds great.


How to build a segmentation model based on a sample of data that needs to be representative of the population.


Whenever I'm waiting for the bus or waiting for anything, I love to people watch (while not making anyone uncomfortable). People are so interesting!


Whenever I spot people watchers , I secretly observe them (not to make them suspicious or feel uncomfortable). They are the most interesting species!

Can I ask where you host a personal website like this?


Does it do image to MD too?


Unless the only thing you want is a description of the image, then the real answer is NO. You can get an LLM to do something like "If you encounter an image that is not easily convertable to standard markdown, insert a [[DESCRIPTION OF IMAGE]] here." placeholder, but at that point you've lost information that may be salient to the original PDF.

The reason is because these multimodal LLMs can give you descriptions/OCR/etc., but they cannot give you quantifiable information related to placement.

So if there was a picture of a tiger in the middle of the page converted to a bitmap, you couldn't get the LLM to give you something like this: "Image detected at pixel position (120, 200) - (240, 500)." - because that's really want you want.

You almost need segmentation system middleware that the LLM can forward to which can cut out these images to use in markdown syntax:

Yes, you can customize this as you wish by adding it to your prompt.
