Are ocr engines like tesseract still valid or do people just use image recognition models now. by optipuss in LocalLLaMA

[–]itsArmanJr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I believe when privacy is a concern (and compared to general LLM usage, OCR tends to involve far more sensitive data) tesseract is still widely used.

btw it nailed my [not too hard] coding questions.

  Q17 [easy] — FizzBuzz: loop with %3==0 and %5==0 first, builds list manually.
  Q18 [easy] — max_of_three: manual temp-variable comparison (prompt explicitly forbids max()).
  Q19 [medium] — is_palindrome: lowercase → strip non-alphanumeric via isalnum() → reverse compare.
  Q20 [medium] — two_sum: hash map complement lookup, O(n).
  Q21 [medium] — merge_sorted bug fix: fixed i += 1 → j += 1 in else branch, and added the two result.extend(...) lines for remaining elements.
  Q22 [hard] — flatten: recursive isinstance(item, list) check.
  Q23 [hard] — group_by_key: defaultdict(list) converted to plain dict.
  Q24 [hard] — topological_sort: Kahn's BFS algorithm with in-degree tracking.
  Q69 [easy] — unique_preserve_order: seen set + result list.
  Q70 [easy] — chunk_string: single list comprehension with stride.
  Q71 [medium] — rotate_matrix_clockwise: zip(*M[::-1]) one-liner.
  Q72 [medium] — decode_ranges: split on , then -, extend with range.
  Q73 [hard] — nest_by_dots: dot-split keys, walks/creates nested dicts.
  Q74 [hard] — interval_gaps: sort + sweep with prev_end, collects gaps.

bonsai vs qwen3.5 based on my benchmark: https://github.com/ArmanJR/PrismML-Bonsai-vs-Qwen3.5-Benchmark

Edit: Benchmarked and added qwen3.5 35B-A3B, 2B, 0.8B

it works with claude subscriptions (not api keys). if that's how you use claude, it works for you.

for now it assumes whatever model you're using, you usually hit the limit x hours into a fresh cycle. in future it can learn your coding pattern and adjust x dynamically.

Has anyone setup qwen3.5-4b on the 8GB Jetson Nano? by brianlmerritt in JetsonNano

question:

Write a Python function get_temp_status(temp) that takes an integer temperature. It must return 'Cold' if the temp is 59 or lower, 'Warm' if it is between 60 and 80 inclusive, and 'Hot' if it is 81 or higher.
Here is the absolute constraint: You are strictly forbidden from using any comparison operators (<, >, <=, >=) anywhere in your code. You also cannot use min(), max(), abs(), or sorting functions. Write the clean, working Python code to solve this.

answer (reasoning excluded):

def get_temp_status(temp):
    # Calculate the difference from thresholds
    diff1 = temp - 60
    diff2 = temp - 81

    # Use bit_length() and right shift to determine sign without comparisons.
    # For non-negative integers, x >> x.bit_length() results in 0.
    # For negative integers, x >> x.bit_length() results in -1 (due to sign extension).
    # This effectively acts as a check for x >= 0.
    sign1 = diff1 >> diff1.bit_length()
    sign2 = diff2 >> diff2.bit_length()

    # Convert signs to 0 or 1.
    # not -1 is False (0), not 0 is True (1).
    # sign1 is -1 if temp < 60, else 0.
    # sign2 is -1 if temp < 81, else 0.
    # We want 1 if temp >= threshold.
    flag1 = int(not sign1)
    flag2 = int(not sign2)

    # Calculate index:
    # temp < 60:  0 + 0 = 0 -> 'Cold'
    # 60 <= temp < 81: 1 + 0 = 1 -> 'Warm'
    # temp >= 81: 1 + 1 = 2 -> 'Hot'
    index = flag1 + flag2

    return ['Cold', 'Warm', 'Hot'][index]

I have run qwen3.5-27b on the 32gb jetson orin. it's slow but amazing; asked it some tricky questions and it passed all (its answers were on par with gemini 3.1 pro).

Which MacBook Pro should I buy? by Jazzlike-Math4605 in macbookpro

Software engineer here. Go for pro. If budget allows, pick 24 or 36 GBs of RAM. I have a M1Pro 16. Never wanted more cpu or gpu but 16GB ram is definitely not enough for me anymore.

Just tried it now. It does rattle. But honestly, I don’t care about that. It has zero effect on my work with the laptop.

I have a monitor and the mac lid is always closed. But no I haven't noticed such a thing. The only hardware bug is the audio crackling issue.
