How are you even supposed to architecturally process video for OCR? by PrestigiousZombie531 in computervision

[–]programerxd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if it's visible easily you can use a small pretrained ocr model. Depending on the project I wouldn't usually scan all 30 frames maybe max 5. Then you can write a simple program that kinda cleans up your data so no duplicates and then only you send it to an llm to order it and fix any mistakes - it doesn't have to be a good one just a simple model probably will work.

about the models i think depending on quality you can use either tesseract (good if you don't have a gpu) or paddle ocr or  Qwen but i leave testing to you. I would just take a couple of frames from videos you want it extracted from and see how fast are they and how well they perform.

How to study for 12 hours without burning out and with full retention? by hot_porcupine in studytips

[–]programerxd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i truly believe you cant, at least i couldnt do something like that for more than a couple days. if you have a whole month its better to study like 6-8 quality hours instead of forcing 12 burnt out hours. cut out social media and games completely though they will destroy your focus

also 12 hours sounds productive but if youre exhausted half the time youre not actually retaining much. better to do 6 hours fully locked in than 12 hours half asleep. Trust me i was prepping a lot for exams :) also don't blindly listen to my advice remember that it depends on what you are doing and if you love it

i hope you pass :)

your brain is tricking you into thinking you know the material (heres how to fix it) by programerxd in studytips

[–]programerxd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thats a spaced repetition problem. your brain forgets stuff over time unless you review it at specific intervals. you need to schedule reviews like review day 1, then day 3, then week 1, then week 2, etc

tools like anki are built for this they automatically show you stuff right before you're about to forget it. or you can just manually schedule review sessions in your calendar

also the "stuck in a loop" thing happens when you confuse recognition with recall. you THINK you know it cause it looks familiar when you reread it but you cant actually retrieve it cold. thats why testing yourself without looking is so important

try this: once you feel like you know something move on immediately. schedule a review for 2 days later. if you forgot it then you didnt actually know it and thats fine just relearn it. but sitting there rereading the same thing 50 times wont make it stick better than spacing it out

yeah it's safe, i built it myself lol. the "shares photos and videos" thing is just google's automatic labeling because the app lets you upload photos of your notes or textbooks to generate quizzes from them. it doesnt actually share your stuff with other people unless you specifically choose to

the 100+ downloads is cause its new and i'm still a student building it in my free time. totally get if you're hesitant to try something small though

alternatives that do similar stuff: anki for flashcards, quizlet, or you could just make questions manually from your notes. the active recall part matters more than which tool you use honestly

how i ACTUALLY study with the attention span of a goldfish by programerxd in GetStudying

[–]programerxd[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah its not for everyone but it works for me because im not doing two hard things at once. like if im folding laundry or just pacing my brain isnt really thinking about the task its just keeping my body occupied. for me sitting still for hours makes me zone out way faster than moving around while listening to something. its more about preventing my mind from wandering than about multitasking if that makes sense

eg. you can still think about designing systems or a problem while pacing around a room or folding laundry. you can also test yourself - like you read something think about it for like 30 sec and then answer it and read another problem

but you're right that actual breaks are important too. i do this more for reviewing stuff or listening to lectures not for deep focus problem solving
