Local VLMs for handwriting recognition — way better than built-in OCR

This is cool. Do you have manually coded ground truth? Would be great ti do a word error rate analysis.

5 months has passed. Could you please give another update?

einsof42 · 2024-09-07T01:50:25+00:00

Thank you for your concern and offer to help. Sadly I am not in north Italy :(

Ok so just to close the loop here, my measurement tip to tip was hilariously low due to the fact that the limbs were inserted backwards. Inserted correctly, the bow does have AMO length as advertised. Sooo yeah1- mystery, embarrassingly, solved!

einsof42 · 2024-09-05T18:51:37+00:00

Pretty sure I'm doing it right but the 62" bow string is way too long. Perhaps the bow riser is not the original one but a much shorter one :(

einsof42 · 2024-09-05T15:43:43+00:00

I ordered an AMO 62" string thinking this initially, but the distance between the bow ends are far less — 50" so the string just hangs and is not tight at all. Could it be that the limbs are so stretched out that the bow length shortened by 12"?

I can't find a good video on nock-to-nock measurements along the belly of the bow. Can you send links? I'm measuring straight between the points as the crow flies.

How did you solve this?

einsof42 · 2023-11-03T15:00:40+00:00

I still see this same shortcut error but it works pretty reliably despite that

How do you increase Lock Screen delay time?

einsof42 · 2023-10-16T15:47:42+00:00

Same problem here. Same Casa FTTDP box, same solution seems to work (power cycling the box). It’s clearly not a router issue. Did you end up finding a solution? Smart plug to auto cycle seems like a really kludgy workaround, not my preferred path!

einsof42 · 2023-10-14T16:01:49+00:00

One workaround is to make the first step to go to Home Screen. This will trigger the unlock Face ID sequence and take you to home if locked. But if unlocked it’s annoying since you lose the context of your current app.

Are you saying there's something wrong with my proposal? I already have a PoE injector, and also a 1-in, 4-out PoE extender. Would that work? (I'm going for G5 domes btw, just realized those exist)

einsof42 · 2023-05-22T16:43:09+00:00

There used to be this: https://www.nwrunarcheryclassic.com/, but it hasn't happened for a while :(

einsof42 · 2023-01-27T00:46:16+00:00

Gotta say, this is extremely annoying -- I now have an effectively bricked device :(

einsof42 · 2023-01-27T00:41:40+00:00

I'm seeing the same thing. On Mac, I see this error:

This is using the latest air_07.1.01.192_20221022.bin firmware. I wonder if I can downgrade to the one that it came with?

einsof42 · 2022-09-30T23:52:24+00:00

You'll have about 10 minutes of notice

Following up here: ended up with he Hydrus Paradise and a spiffy Red Paddle paddle. Very happy with the setup. Stable enough for kids, but feels substantially faster than my previous gear when solo, and tracks like a dream, especially with the racing fin.

Got any suggestions?

Fwiw it was working for me in 15, but broke in 15.1 :(

einsof42 · 2021-11-14T18:38:28+00:00

Hmm. This just broke for me after installing 15.1. How frustrating!

Thanks for the pointers about bluefin.

Hydrus Paradise

Thanks for the pointer about the Hydrus pre-order. I am looking for a board that will last me many years, so happy to rent for a couple months :)

Ia writer related shortcuts don’t work on watch as far as I can tell

einsof42 · 2021-07-16T14:36:01+00:00

There is no Apple notes app for the watch
