I remember having implemented similar things in JavaScript (by generating code), for immutable Maps and Sets - no significant performance gain in modern engines. For regular expressions of complex unicode ranges, the speedup was around 2x!

That's the issue: Instead of trusting your neighbour or a photo journalist's integrity (and if this direct trust is missing, who else should you trust?), you trust a trillion dollar US company. Actor injection.

I don't like it. I would just attach a part of a silicone baking form to the front of the body. This can be undone at any time.

It always gives me exactly 16 (or less) images. So this cannot be very reliable because there are more results. Proof: Add a space anwhere to your search string in the form and hit enter again, then some new results are mixed in.

This is how I solve this problem on my Samsung Galaxy S22: make a screenshot, then you are able to select text in the builtin Gallery app via instant OCR. Works surprisingly well. I needed some time to find this feature out.

A compound word splitter in JS that splits up words of different (esp. Germanic) languages down to simplexes reliably based on a dictionary, including Segmenter API and SQLite FTS connector. Works very reliably by internally using statistics for known compound words, too, and a stemmer.

Haley Nahman failed to talk about the ACTORS and how they act; the word "actor"/"actress" appears 0 times in this article. Just compare those boring faces with the personalities of former decades!
