I've started using Microsoft's TROCR (another transformer OCR model) to read the cursive in my pocket journal (I have a habit of writing programs there first while I'm out and then typing them in manually, I just focus better that way.)

It's surprisingly accurate although you have to write your own program to segment the image into lines. I think with some fine tuning I could have the machine read my notebook with minimal corrections.

Software has also improved. Micropython is surprisingly good even on micro controllers.

The only "big tech bad" law that really makes sense would be making non-free software illegal.

Nah I don't want them involved.

At this point I'd rather die in my house. So much of it is obviously crap and it's so inconvenient and expensive I'd rather avoid doctors altogether.

I managed to log into the mail account I had when I set up gmail.

Their AI arbitrarily decided that still wasn't good enough and that was the end of the gmail account I had since I was 13 (yes, I got one of the early invites.) I'm absolutely never doing anything important on a Google service ever again. It doesn't matter if you set stuff like that up.

IMO: HAMs will likely be more helpful than these will. This is more of the result of professional confusion/processes etc.
