Do you need to flood/drain them? Our plants do quite well with regular watering inside their pots, without removing them from their spot.

The thing about the ones I've tried is that they all did either go full blast or not at all

I don't understand these things. All I've ever tried to use are waaayy too strong and cause water to splash everywhere. I do have an under-the-toilet-seat one and I like that very much, butI never got the hand of the handheld ones

You don't have rates like that? In Austria you can just get a rate that will charge the 15 minute spot market price. That can be even negative during the day, but then also might be quite high at other periods.

Balatro is indie, songs isn't it? Developed by a single dude with probably zero budget

I think this is a perfect strategy - you can sell code, and if any of it contains issues/bugs/gaping security holes you can just blame your customer for not checking the AI output

In Europe you still need to give way for cars that are crossing straight from the other side when you want to turn left, and take care of pedestrians that also have green on a right hand turn. Granted, not all crossings are like this, but many are.

What's wrong honey? You haven't finished your kale cake.

might also be to teach actually reading the instructions instead of blindly typing pi into the calculator

I didn't think of that - also for nvim you typically pull plugins from git repositories

I used it for a bit and it is working quite well with small vaults. But the memory issue is real - by now obsidian always crashes when I try to sync via git on Android as my vault increased in size by quite a bit.

I just didn't plot anything anymore tbh. I originally wanted to make stencils for electro-etching but I realized that I don't really have that much of use for it.

 

It seems like with the current progress in ML models, doing OCR should be an easy task. After all, recognizing handwritten numbers was one of the prime benchmarks for image recognition (MNIST was released in 1994).

Yet, when I try to OCR any of my handwritten notes all I ever get is a jumbled mess of nonsense. Am I missing something, is my handwriting really that atrocious or is it the models?

Here's a quick example, a random passage from a scientific article:

I tried EasyOCR, Tesseract, PPOCR and a few online tools. Only PPOCR was able to correctly identify the numbers and the words "J." and "Chem.". The rest is just a random mess of characters.

Edit: thank you all for shitting on my handwriting. That was not asked for, and also not helpful. That sample was intentionally "not nice" but is how I would write a note for myself. (You should see how my notes look like when I don't need to read them again, lol)

chatGPT can transcribe it perfectly, and also works on a slightly larger sample. Deepseek works ok-ish but made some mistakes, and gemini is apparently not available in my country atm. I guess the context awareness is what makes those models better in transcription, and also why I can read it back without problems.

 

So I got my hands on some flower bulbs which are typically meant to be planted in spring and I was wondering what I could do with them now. To be concrete, I have

  • Dahlia
  • Mirabilis jalapa
  • Ixia

I'm in USDA zone 7b/8a and I could either place them on a south facing balcony or inside. I've also read that you can force flowers in a vase with some bulbs such as Hyacinths but I haven't read anything about that with the ones I have. Or should I just keep them in storage until next spring and plant them then?
