Wistful, to mildlyinteresting in At the Internet Archive, this is how we digitize a book—one page at a time, by hand.
@Wistful@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Wow that seems painfully slow/tedious. Why isn’t it automatized? I think I saw a robot do like 20 pages a second on a yt some years ago.

Google have digitised a lot of books using some more advanced tech, though they started out with something a little like this.

aeronmelon,

Do you remember the results of those speed scans? Crooked pages, parts of the document cut off, blurry scans, etc.

It was a lazy method that resulted in a lot of junk data.

@Wistful@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

I think this is what I saw. Not quite 20 pages/s hahah and also a different method.

prenatal_confusion, (edited )

That would be interesting to see!

This is probably the method that gives you the best quality (deskewing, lighting) without cutting the back of the book and feeding it into a scanner. (AFAIK)

I saw a book scanner similar to this one that used a vacuum to turn pages but otherwise same principle.

Nah these are “all-season” tires. People who use summer tires switch them out for winters when the snow drops

gibmiser,

Then you got me over here, tires smooth as a baby’s ass, sprinkling Rogaine on my tires and hoping for the best

Altofaltception,

I swap out my all season tires for winter tires when the weather changes.

TheFriar,

Well I don’t drive

KpntAutismus,

you get driven around tho.

TheFriar,

Nah I live in da city booiiii

Case,

I don’t.

I don’t think they even sell winter tires here.

And if winter tires are the little studded ones… Yeah, those aren’t street legal here.

That being said, we tend to shut down the state if someone drops an icecube.

MechanicalJester,

Most aren’t studded and they do make a difference… But that was rink ice under snow.

Even the tractor got pushed around.

Declare war and immediately airdrop their major cities before they launch fighters, making sure you have enough VP to end the war in a few weeks.

The leg sweep will never not be: A. an incredibly effective tactic against humans in general and B. fucking hilarious from an outside perspective, like oh you wanna fight? How about you do that from the fucking ground.

Ooh, I’ve had a terrible idea, let’s make an actual programming language with html-like syntax, that sounds fun and not at all horrifying

XSLT would like to have a word with you. “Arrays” start at 1.

MotoAsh,

XML syntax, there’s at least ant scripts. They’re … pretty obnoxious to deal with.

BeefPiano,

LISP with tags instead of open and close parens.

I don’t get most of it, but I vibe with paper towel lady at 1:06.

Also cucumber lad at 1:24 has childhood bordem that I can relate to.

Butterpaderp,

youtu.be/irW6MH3YWqE?si=cY4KM3Jr7Wo_FYZ_ more of cucumber guy, def a weird dude who’s bored

iheartneopets,

I also liked the paper towel one for some reason. Big “I’m bored at home” vibes, with its use of household implements in the art piece (fly swatter, laundry hamper, etc). Rolling out all the paper towels like that seems like a pretty fun and interesting thing to do if I ever had loads of time on my hands.

21Cabbage, (edited ) to lemmyshitpost in It'll work, I saw it on the internet

I saw this attempted in person once, actually mounted the tire, it just deflated again a few miles after we put it back on.

On a second look I wonder if the explosion was intentional, considering the fuse.

Motorheadbanger,

This is for mounting the tyre only; this method burns whatever’s inside the tyre so it actually creates negative tyre pressure, therefore, you gotta inflate it afterwards

21Cabbage,

We did in fact do that.

Tum, to privacy in Two minutes of DuckDuckGo rearranging & dropping results for the same search; Bing, Startpage, & DDG all unreliable vs. Google :(

I am not a search engine engineer.

Here are some things it might be though:

It could be that the results you see first are cached on their servers, and expiring from that cache between your searches. however usually when something requested is pulled from a cache, the items lifespan in the cache is usually refreshed so it lives a bit longer.

It could be that certain they are NOT cached at all, and certain sites are rate limiting the DDG crawler hitting them and returning info to you, so DDG takes them out of the results as they cannot confirm the site is alive. I noticed reddit disappeared from the results and we all know about Reddit and their APIs here.

It could also be their ranking algorithm for results is not as deterministic as they want it to be, it could also be that way by design. Page ranking is a closely guarded trade secret, especially at big places like Google. DDG results will never match 1:1 with Google. Personally, I prefer DDGs results to Google.

brbposting,

Excellent analysis. Caching came to mind for me as well. Thank you for the interesting speculation!
