Or does it still just do that
Jira and confluence have always worked fine on my Firefox 🤔

Deleting my cringe comments from 2012 was really cathartic, thanks 😂

Good recommendations! I’d suggest doing some spacy tutorials as well, regarding the topics in the first paragraph. But arguably it’s possible nowadays to just start at transformers without any NLP knowledge, e.g. using huggingface’s AutoTrain or something similar. I wouldn’t recommend it, but you definitely could.

🐝bownage [they/he]@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Threads Has Begun Federating Via ActivityPub5·1 year agoOk yeah make sense! I’m definitely not a fan of Facebook’s and Meta’s data policies either.
But how is anyone going to control a decentralised platform tho? What you’re describing seems like it would only apply to users on instances controlled by Meta, i.e. on threads itself. Or maybe I still don’t understand how the fediverse works.
🐝bownage [they/he]@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Threads Has Begun Federating Via ActivityPub15·1 year agoCan you explain how it’s 100% super obvious? I thought a popular platform with many users entering the fediverse might be good for exposure but it seems like the consensus here is that it’s actually bad. Help me understand how it’s bad?
🐝bownage [they/he]@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Some assistance/advice for OCRing?2·2 years agoI’ve read good things about donut, although I haven’t used it yet myself.
🐝bownage [they/he]@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•NLP Libraries for Resume Optimization?2·2 years agoIf I’m understanding you correctly, you might want to take a look at some NERT models for topic extraction on huggingface. I’m not certain there are already ones for resume building, but I’m sure they exist. An alternative is spaCy, as you mentioned, but there you also rely on a pretrained model.
🐝bownage [they/he]@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•YouTube is axing its ad-free Premium Lite subscription plan - The Verge20·2 years agoI was happily using Lite as well and them just announcing it’s discontinuing in a month feels really unfair. I don’t want the added functionality of youtube premium. I don’t want to pay €15 a month for the same thing I had before for half the money. Now I have to find an alternative, and I think for me it will also be ad blockers and piracy. I’ll miss casting youtube to my TV ad free though…

Wow this is actually very useful
