Making an image description while low on spoons? Can't stand having to scroll up and down to pain-stakingly type out an entire tweet when the OP literally could have copied and pasted the text of the tweet into and ID themselves, but now you have to hand type it because you don't know the source and no one ever links to it?

here's my new best friend-- an online OCR (Optical Character Recognition) that can extract text from small images for you.

"To make revolution and build a socialist society, a communist vanguard party, based on the principles of democratic centralism, is necessary to lead the entire process. The main purpose of the OCR is to build such a Party, by recruiting and training a critical mass of dedicated and disciplined communist cadre and developing a Party Programme with a class analysis of US society, a strategy for revolution in the US, and concrete policies to be implemented after the revolutionary seizure of power and with the onset of the socialist transition to communism. The requisite cadre and Programme that signal the foundation of a Party can only be built through developing deep ties among the masses, most especially the lower and deeper sections of the proletariat, and through leadership of the class struggle."

How did you distinguish between lowercase L and capital i? I see that they have slightly different images in your repo, but I'm not sure how you managed to tell them apart in the original image.

exactly that. i took both, classified one as I and the other as l, and checked the result. whichever of the two ways gave me most of the image back (the wrong way actually didn't even give me a valid JPEG header) was the correct one. i just checked both

Ah, I see, so ClearType actually ensures that even the color aliasing artifacts around each letter will be consistent, so that a lowercase L will always be "column of light yellow, column of near black, column of light blue" while uppercase i will always be "column of reddish orange, column of medium blue"?

Does this mean that ANYTHING using ClearType with this font & point size will have the same color patterns? Or is it only guaranteed to be consistent within one particular block of text, with the specific aliasing patterns determined on the fly based on some magic formula?

Looks like the Tough Guy, the godfather of obstacle course racing, really is gone forever - combination of Mr Mouse's health problems and you can't maintain a permanent giant wooden obstacle course on two years of no entry fees.

It is insane and delightful to me that the roots of this batshit sport are in a horse sanctuary just outside Wolverhampton. I've done it four times, once each of the January, April, July and October versions. It was gloriously amateurish. The obstacles had names of dubious taste. We signed a disclaimer saying if it killed us it was "my own bloody fault for coming".

My main memories of the Tough Guy are absolute terror, punctuated by the quasi-mystical experiences you get when adrenaline and endorphins are two hells of some drugs. At one point alone in the woodland running section I became convinced I'd been taken by the Fair Folk and a hundred years and a day had passed in the real world - but then I saw the aid station and calmed down a bit. Everything about it was confusing and scary. I made an account in a mud-running forum purely to ask what the hell the instructions meant, only to be told they would never make any sense and I just needed to turn up at 10am and hope for the best. Excuse me I have agoraphobia and OCD, that is not how I roll. That aspect was legit more terrifying than, say, discovering you're not actually that keen on heights when you're out on the ropes at the top of the Behemoth and regretting the life choices that took you to this point (four times). Or the really cold water. Or their enthusiasm for electric obstacles. Or the combined electric and cold water obstacles, like Viagra Falls.

Somehow it went straight through the OTT masculinity of other OCRs and out the other side. Nobody shouted at you or made you do burpees. The course is difficult enough and everyone's having a hard time; no need to make it worse. There was the Ghost Squad, topless pyromaniac drumming Vikings in face paint who ran the warm up and occasionally popped up out of nowhere to assist and/or startle you. There was Mr Mouse in his kilt and moustache like a goddamn celebrity. There was a major gender imbalance. But it somehow didn't feel as macho as some others. It actually felt like we were all in this insanity together.

tips for gcses

revision-wise do what works best for YOU. teachers might be asking you to do practice questions, and your friends may be making 100s of flashcards, but if doing a simple mindmap helps you more than anything else, do that. i always felt like i wasnt revising enough but still did well

look at the structure for prev exams to know what to expect. this will help your revision and what to expect long answers on so you can revise it more

youtube videos are a massive help!! i recommend waking up 30 mins early to watch some youtube videos about some topics youre still unsure on the morning of the exam

dont be discouraged if you think you've done bad!! i told my teacher at the end of every paper we did that ive done awful, found it insanely difficult and for her to lower her expectations and i ended up getting an 8!!

And @nostalgebraist,

I love how images like this kinda prove to me that Frank, @nostalgebraist-autoresponder, has the specific form of dyslexia that makes you read the same line of text as a new line, and then you correct yourself.

—or the OCR equivalent.

In his exemplary 1845 work of social investigation, The Condition of the Working Class in England, Friedrich Engels showed how the conditions of capitalism created a social war among the masses, where proletarians in slum conditions are pit against each other in a battle for survival. As Engels summed up,

Competition is the completest expression of the battle of all against all which rules modern civil society. This battle, a battle for life, for existence, for everything, in case of need a battle of life and death, is fought not between the different classes of society only, but also between the individual members of these classes. Each is in the way of the other, and each seeks to crowd out all who are in his way, and put himself in their place.

Today this social war continues, but with the added dimension that the bourgeoisie has learned well how to exacerbate contradictions among the masses, with deliberate policies pitting one section of the masses against another. In our efforts to bring forward a class-conscious section of the proletariat, we must understand how the battle lines of the social war among the masses are drawn and find ways to contend with the reactionary ideology and politics and the practical antagonisms they foster. Our aim must be to convince the masses to refuse to play the capitalist game of competing with each other, instead developing their understanding of the system behind that game and embracing a communist attitude towards their class sisters and brothers, here and around the world.

rugged maniac OCR 2023

i had the amazing opportunity to join one of my friends for an obstacle course race/mud run for the first time this past weekend! i’ve never run in a race of any kind really, so this was exciting as both a race and an obstacle course! the course was a 5k running course filled with like, 20-30 obstacles including climbing over walls/ladders/fences of many kinds, huge slides, rope net climbing, crawling under barbed wire through mud pits, and so much more.

i stayed with my friends the whole time and i didn’t really train, so we walked a good chunk of it. there were tons of hills, sandy trails, forest paths, and other terrain that made running even harder anyway. safe to say i definitely wasn’t running for time, just for fun!

it was so incredibly fun to push my body and just let myself have fun and go crazy. it was like an adult playground on steroids!! the endorphin rush was incredible and even a few days later i still feel so excited and proud just talking about it. i am 100% doing this again, and would recommend to anyone else who’s thinking about it!

I obviously hate when people act like DnD is all that TTRPGs have to offer, but I hate equally much the idea that TTRPGs is DnD vs Pathfinder. People seem stoked to have Pazio replace WotC as the TTRPG monolith?  The ORC thing is cool and all but the way I see it being framed and the response from a lot of player seems to be “WHOA, NOW I’M ONLY GOING TO PLAY PATHFINDER INSTEAD OF ONLY PLAYING DND”.

Turning Handwriting into Text, Part 1

I have what seems to be a never-ending quest. I love to write by hand. I do my best thinking when I do so. I’m at my most creative. I create my characters, write the story of how they received their wound, describe their goals and motivations, go into detail about what’s holding them back from achieving their goals. From those notes, I create my plot — first the major plot points (instigating…
