Yesterday I tried out Mistral OCR and… wow. I didn’t know that OCR of PDFs with complex layouts, tables, images and everything is basically a solved problem now? Will likely have it run OCR on a 250 page PDF to extract the full text and tables soon, at a cost of roughly 25 cents, if I read the pricing grid correctly.

We don't allow cats on our dinner table, and they full well know that (their punishment when caught is corporal cuddling).
While I was out of the house just now and my wife asleep, the 13yo took this picture.
Oh yeah, my wife's laptop often seems to mysterious crash overnight..

The first of at least seven straight days of rain begins Friday in the Bay Area
as an atmospheric river is set to soak the region with a stream of subtropical moisture from Hawaii.
The phenomenon, known as a Pineapple Express, generally brings heavy rain and mountain snow to the West Coast.
“When it reaches the west coast, the Pineapple Express can dump as much as 5 inches of rain on California in one day.”
Friday marks the first of what could be three different round…

VILA: Nobody could open it.
AVON: I thought you could open anything, that's always been one of your more modest claims.
VILA: I could open that door in two minutes.

It sounds like the judge is allowing in a fair amount here that isn't strictly relevant but hammers home both the absurdity and the political context.
