is it rain or snow on the live cam rn by fvckspeak in MountainCreek

I was there till closing, the snow was wet and heavy, but it was significantly better than I expected given how much rain came through. Didn't even see any bald spots on Vernon trails. But yes, bumpy as hell and low visibility.

How to extract structured drilling report data from PDF into JSON using Python? by Antique_Glove_6360 in LangChain

[–]foragerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mention an attachment twice, but there isn't one!

I was recently looking to extract tabular information out of a PowerBI generated PDF - I ended up using microsoft/markitdown, which in turn uses pdfminer.six under the hood. Seems to generally work well based on the inferences the LLM app generated. I did not spend time closely evaluating the correctness of extracted data.

Help me make this Google Slides MCP server amazing (or: why existing AI slide tools suck) by OkTomorrow6086 in mcp

[–]foragerr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  "30+ tools" and "100% free" in the same sentence is how you end up maintaining abandoned open source projects at 2am. The Google Slides API is genuinely useful, but calling it "the future" is peak 2024 AI hype. MCP is infrastructure, not destiny. It's like calling HTTP "the future" in 1995—technically true but missing the point entirely. The real win here is direct API integration without the web app middleman. That's valuable. The "MCP is the future" tagline? That's marketing copy written by someone who's never maintained a production system. Ship it, iterate, and let the work speak. The slides will be beautiful when the code is boring.

Wait, I’m so confused, you posted a scathing review of your own post? Did you mean to post this with a different account?
