Interesting, I wanted to do this for a personal use case (mostly learning), but with PDFs. What's tech stack? I have explored using the AWS AI tools, but it seems a bit overkill for what I want it to do.


Here's some code to deal with that:

https://github.com/MittaAI/SlothAI/blob/main/SlothAI/lib/pro...

https://github.com/MittaAI/mitta-community/tree/main/service...

There's code in there that just reads PDF meta data as well, but you can't always guarantee it's there in a PDF.


If the PDFS are textual or have OCR, then pdf2text from the Poppler suite ought to be enough? If not, add Tesseract/ocrmypdf to the pipeline?


Tech stack is a mix of serverless Laravel, with Cloudflare and AWS functions, and some Pinecone for vector storage. Still experimenting on a few things but don't want to over-engineer unless I know where I'm going.


Given that cloudflare spies on traffic and reports to multiple agencies on it's findings, perhaps a breakdown of the chain and the privacy implications of each block in the stack would be beneficial?


Ya know, a downvote on this pre-aug 2019 would be fine.

people still being ignorant about their publicly posted policies 5 years later is annoying.



I really hope that there's a way to integrate the new passwords app into browsers other than Safari. The only reason I'm still with 1Password is because of their Firefox extension for auto fill.


You can already "autofill" Firefox (and other) input fields with keychain data in Sonoma. Its a bit cumbersome, but right click into the field, select "autofill" from the context menu, then either "passwords" or "contacts", search/select/confirm the data to be inserted.


There's a bunch more to "autofilling". 1Password has ability to generate new passwords, save new registrations, autofill MFA codes, and even read QR codes on screen to setup MFA. None of this is possible on Firefox with Keychain.


Wouldn't it be easier to just decide on a UI library to be used for the project and use that instead?


But that would not convey to the user the idea of the interface being a work-in-progress.


You can stick “under construction” animated gif.


Design can distract from the UX and there's a use for very minimal mocks.


We've had 8 IT support cases opened this morning from people who thought their keyboards were broken.


Agreed - I had to ask somebody else in the office to confirm they were seeing the same thing.

You would think this is the sort of thing that Atlassian could catch in test? Pretty fundamental, adding text.


When it comes to Jira, I’m not sure developers are in control at all. It’s a beast with its own will, and it devours itself.


I hope you actually read those articles, because 2 of them are saying Al Jazeera is biased towards Israel - hence why the ban, and not what you are trying to prove.


Obviously that’s what they would say. The whole point of this discussion is that people tend to say things that advance their agenda, or are politically expedient, not because they are the unvarnished truth.


>the Middle-Eastern unit were literally showing videos demanding further uprising against Israel across the region directly from Hamas

I am failing to see how an article about Russia's war correlates to OP's claim about Al Jazeera showing Hamas videos calling for an uprising. Can we get a direct link to the article that the OP mentioned?


For me it was creating “gift card code generator” for games like Habbo Hotel and RuneScape in C# and distribute it among my friends to get into their accounts. 14 year old me was proud of my “hacking” skills.


Everything you said in your comment has been debunked. IDF claimed that Hamas had HQ in Al Shifa hospital, and all they found as proof was a calendar, and they stopped saying there was a HQ. They then moved onto another hospital claiming that was the correct HQ, then that turned out to not be true as well.

Regarding ceasefire, Israel has broken a total of 17 ceasefires in the past. Ranging from assassinations to straight up bombing civilians during ceasefire period.

I don't understand your reasoning with "they do roof knocks, and tell people to evacuate, so it's all good when civilian areas get demolished and children die, that's war!"

Israel has done nothing but lie since the beginning of this genocide.

This is all happening alongside the blatant terrorism happening in the West Bank with the settlers. You can't seriously defend a nation when the leader is openly saying "wipe them all out - all of them."


> Everything you said in your comment has been debunked

I'm sorry, if you seriously believe that - you are just factually wrong.

I urge you - if you're serious - try to view real journalistic accounts of what is going on. They're not all favorable to Israel, but at least they aren't going to completely misinform you about what's going on. Just as an example:

> IDF claimed that Hamas had HQ in Al Shifa hospital, and all they found as proof was a calendar, and they stopped saying there was a HQ.

This is completely false. They didn't "only find a calendar" and they didn't "stop saying there was an HQ there". There have been multiple videos showing ammunition recovered in the hospital, showing the undergroung tunnel network under the hospital, there was even a video of Hamas militants dragging in hostages into the hospital.

You're just straight up wrong about your facts.


You've posted over 50 comments in this thread and some of them are crossing too far into battle, which is the spirit we asked everyone not to comment in (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38616662). I realize that you have extremely legitimate reasons for feeling the way you do, but even so, I need to ask you to abide by that request. The same goes for the users who are arguing with you and I am going to post the same thing to some of them.

I apologize, and I will try to do better.


Appreciated!


I am in Israel at the moment, and the sheer amount of racism and prejudice I've seen towards the Palestinians is unlike anything I've seen or read before. I am not surprised they are resisting the apartheid state. If I was a little Palestinian child witnessing this atrocity, I would also be resisting in whatever "group" I could be apart of. Calling this terrorism is unjustified in my opinion.


I don't know if this was the case before, but yesterday I asked a question, and it thunk for a while before answering: "Based on the title of this video, it may answer your question", then provided a link to a YouTube video. The video did not answer my question.


I came to the realization that software engineering was not what I wanted to do - about 4 years ago. 6 years into my career now. I still do it because I have bills to pay. I sometimes wonder how many others are in my shoes.


That's a bummer. Are you done with programming, or just all the apparatus of arroundig it in a business environment.


I would say a combination of lifestyle and mental aspects. I do enjoy programming still, just not everything else that comes with it. Agile, meetings, business requirement documents, more meetings...

Something I have had trouble with is finding purpose - I work at a government agency, and I feel my work means next to nothing (for various reasons I can't get into).

I did manual labor for a while during university, and the sedentary nature of my current job may be contributing to my decreased interest to carry on with it.

Firefighting looks like something I'd love to do.
