This model looks very interesting. How does it compare to heuristic-based approaches like Defuddle and Readability?

Hey- I just saw your comment here 61 days ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46560110) and can't reply there, so I'm replying here since this is your latest post.

You requested that we add inverting colors to PDF mode on Paper2Audio. I have good news: we added it (other users requested it too). It is in the main menu when you have our PDF view open. Please let me know anytime if you have any questions or feedback.

I'm the Paper2Audio founder and I'm thrilled to see you recommending us here. Paper2Audio specializes in narrating complex documents like research papers to you. It is free for personal use.

This PDF exceeds our page limit, so you would have to split it up. We're working on increasing our page limits.

This would be more helpful if it included DeepSeek-OCR, PaddleOCR-VL and MinerU 2.5. In general, I've found that OmniDocBench is a reliable benchmark, perhaps surprisingly because it is made by the same team as MinerU. They updated their benchmark table recently: https://github.com/opendatalab/OmniDocBench#end-to-end-evalu.... There are some other models that score above DeepSeek-OCR as well that I'm not as familiar with.

Their argument in favor of this change seems extremely reasonable and well-explained.

On 2, you could recreate Axelrod's classic prisoner's dilemma tournament from 1980. Here's a short writeup about it: https://cs.stanford.edu/people/eroberts/courses/soco/project...

Another game you could try is the "guess 2/3 of the average" game.

You could make the assignment one game like these, or put a few together.

Thanks for the great advice. LotR is actually my single favorite pinball game and I've played it a ton, mostly at Pinball Pete's in Ann Arbor. But, I've played it so much that I would probably get bored of it quickly if I purchased it. Twilight Zone is great too! I'm in Seattle now, and so lots of places have the new Foo Fighters pin which I'm enjoying a lot.

I've thought about buying a pinball machine for a while, but haven't pulled the trigger. I think I would get bored of one machine after a short while, and then it would just sit there. I like pinball a lot and I think the design and build quality of many of the more recent games is fantastic. But, I'm not interested in collecting machines. Is anyone else in a similar situation?

Sean's a really nice guy! More people should say hi to Sean. Let's make it a meme and totally overwhelm him!
