  • How did that work?
    Doesn’t pencil lead material just work as a resistor? It’s mostly graphite and clay, and shouldn’t have the required structure to work as a semi-conductor.

    Ahh right. I had forgotten about how to term “semi-conducting” was used back in elementary, thanks to semiconductors and the lot.



  • Yeah. The current job market shows a different trend.

    With people saying “people using AI will replace people not using AI”.
    And the reason for that is not because people using AI will produce better work, but because AI usage will be preferred over usable output.

    And because the flow of money is such that all those having money can easily choose to give most of it to AI users[1] while non-AI users don’t have the same ability once most providers turn to AI use.

    Now as long as you get the Governments on board (they are already buying up GPUs too) you can get all taxes into AI use, hence starving the non-AI market of ability to procure computing hardware (or anything else to work on) and that is how you get AI supremacy without providing anything better.


    1. with the only exception being base material products like agricultural produce, which has a much lower margin and their costs again go to AI users ↩︎










  • We also have very little in the way of error correction, since it’s mostly not human readable

    This is the main point.
    Most well working OCR systems have a dictionary-check pass, which goes a long way into fixing the errors.

    On the other hand, if all those files are the same font and size, it should be possible to tune the OCR to better match the requirements. Also reduce the possibilities to the character set used by the encoding.


    I was recently using OCR for an unrelated project and it was totally unusable as is, because unlike what it expected (plain text documents), it got text on top of pictures. So now I have to find ways to preprocess and single out the text, removing the graphic lines that might be behind it, to make it readable.
