- Yes, each day the game maker creates a timely and relevant crossword. So in this case the person behind it is the loss
- 1-800-522-4700 for anyone humoring these kinds of "investments"
- Because for the typical office - documents are strewn about on random network drives and are not formatted similarly. This combined with the inability to nail down 100% accuracy on even just internal doc search is just too much to overcome for non-tech industry offices. My office is mind blown if i use Gemini to extract data from a PDF and convert it to an .xlsx or .csv
As a technically minded person but not a comp sci guy, refining document search is like staring into a void and every option uses different (confusing) terminology. This makes it extra difficult for me to both do my regular job AND learn the multiple names/ways to do the exact same thing between platforms.
The only solution that has any reliability for me so far are Gemini instances where i upload only the files i wish to search and just keep it locked to a few questions per instance before it starts to hallucinate.
My attempt at RAG search implementation was a disaster that left me more confused than anything.
- I notice this as well, i think it is because the autocorrect is turned off and we may just be so used to it learning our typing habits that our "raw" typing is really that bad
- dont shoot the messenger, but it's supposed to be like a "butler sounding name"
- Yes we've had this discussion with management before when discussing CV short comings. Pathetic offering of a program, and simply would not pass even the most basic usability tests in other fields. Microvellum afaik is only a better program "in theory." I have not heard much positivity from actual users.
- I am in the same boat, daily user of Cabinet Vision. Did you know the same founder made both and sold them off within a few years of one another?
- As someone who uses such software for a living, i concur. Hand drawings work just fine. Not to mention, any fabricator worth their salt will have no problem interpreting it.
- at least in my parents neighborhood, the open garage or the pool with a non-privacy fence, or the front/side porch are all hangout spots where other neighbors will walk by and join you for conversation
- assumedly much much easier to buy a cheap vinyl cutter, but interesting idea
- i remember it very well, i bought a Sony at F.Y.E. at the mall. as a child, my mother insisted on Sony as it was reputable brand (thank god because they truly were better devices). But the non-Zune/Sony/iPod selections were all duplicates of the same garbage, this was ~2007.
- I have a large collection of vintage Mac's and peripherals, with the largest quantity being the Apple Keyboard II [1]. Archive forums all suggest the Belkin ADB Adapter [2] but that has long since been retired. I would like to make my own, i know instructions exist for a raw passthrough.

- https://macintoshgarden.org/ has always been the gold standard source for me!
- Well i know this is sarcastic but have you seen the preferred design language of the Oakley founder? Exposed circuitry is righttt up his alley.
- As a beginner, I also haven't had much luck with embedded vector queries either. Firstly, setting it up was a major pain in the ass and I couldn't even get it to ingest anything beyond .txt files. Second, maybe it was my AI system prompt or the lack of outside search capabilities but unless i was very specific with my query the response was essentially "can't find what youre looking for"
- Funny you mention stage manager, i remember the absolute online letdown/meltdown that happened when it didn't ship with the iPadOS version it was scheduled to. The other day i encountered the button for it and completely forgot it existed, but after launching it, I remembered how useless it is.
- shout out to mixxx, a truly excellent piece of free software
- Never saw a CAD app boot fast... Shapr3D is the best but something as advanced as Fusion or Solidworks has always been slow to open
