Textbook definition of taking something out of context. The full sentence is:

> ‘If America attacks Iran,’ I said, ‘won’t people be killed?’

> ‘They don’t kill people. Our own government does. No enemy in our history has done to us what these clerics have done.’

I donno, I've come across or read about fair number of people who worked on a crazy idea for a very long time, as if they were planning to throw their life away chasing that idea. Some had a breakthrough and ended up being a huge win. But I'm sure there are many many more who just ended up nowhere. So, I guess it's a gamble.

There is no way to access the Internet from inside Iran, not for private citizens, nor for companies, or even many server hosts. Just very very few places, directly linked and controlled by the government, have limited Internet access.

There is not even the option to call phone lines inside Iran, or call abroad from Iran (not tried direct call, but no VoIP works).

You still can access any server inside Iran ("Internet-e-Melli" or National Internet, they call it), but none of these servers in turn have access to free Internet.

Would love to hear your thoughts if there is a technical way to bypass such restriction (me and my friends, fairly tech savvy, could not find a way).

The original comment says "their mentality about open-model is wrong, evident from their post". Does not say it's shady! Why to be cynical?

Thanks for the links. I watched some of his videos where he explained how DataColada did their forensic investigation in data manipulation.

What amazes me is how simple was the fraud (or at least the ones reported by Pete!). They basically just opened an excel file, started from the top, changed some random numbers, until they reached the effect they aimed for!!! Really? What about those that can do more sophisticated data manipulation?

It seems the site is not accessible. Either it times out, or shows "An error occurred", or 404, for the past 15 minutes.

I did it on mac without any issues. Are you using Mac or Linux? what is the issue?

Amazing work. Thank you.

I have a set of PDF files, and this week was thinking how I can link them to an LLM and be able to ask questions about them. So this was very timely.

I did a quick side-by-side testing against Nougat, and it clearly works better. On a handful of PDFs I tested, Marker extracted considerably more text (the text did not have any math, just academic papers), finished the job faster, and did not crash on any pdf, while Nougat took a lot longer to finish, and sometimes crashed due to out-of-memory error (could not allocate more than 7GB RAM!)
