Right! I didn’t know the difference. Does it mean for 79 out of 100 documents they produce 100% accurate OCR, I doubt it. The win rate sounds like a practical approximation of accuracy here to me.

If I am wildly off, I am happy to learn.

79 out of 100 documents Mistral OCR 3 provides better output than Mistral OCR 2.

That’s because he’s barely a lawyer. He’s a blogger with a legal education. His legal practice is pro bono because nobody would pay for him to LARP as someone with credibility on the subject of free speech.

Edit: I appreciate the down votes but research him, he has never participated in a real case. He is not a practicing lawyer by any real measure.

This seems to be correct from about 5 minutes of research.

By your reasoning, English isn't a Germanic language since over half of its vocabulary comes from Latin or French.

You certainly wouldn’t call English a “dialect”

My deco seems to be really poor at picking a channel at boot up. When I have performance issues running the optimizer almost always moves it to a different channel and solves my issues.

I just ran the optimiser after reading your post and it changed the 2.4GHz channel - I think the main reason I've been so happy is that the laptops and smartphones I primarily use support 6GHz where there is no interference and channel selection doesn't matter.

Anecdote time - I've had their BE550 Wifi 7 router for over a year now and it's been rock solid. Easily does 2Gbps over wifi, never had to reset it once despite having 40+ devices connected to it all the time, the 4x 2.5Gbps ports are super useful.....it is one of their more expensive devices so maybe that's why, but generally it's been very very solid.

I own two consumer-grade Deco XE75 access points which I purchased several years ago as the most cost-effective 6E compatible access points available. They have proven to be exceptionally reliable.

Although I have previously encountered significant issues with WiFi, I now do not see a need to replace these devices despite the availability of WiFi 7.

They cheat and use busybox.

Meanwhile OpenBSD running all the default network services like sshd and smtpd uses < 32 MB RAM and that's with full ksh and real tools. That doesn't happen by accident.

argsnd · 2 months ago

Is that fair? Busybox has fewer features than OpenBSD coreutils but those in turn have fewer features than GNU coreutils. All three implement the entire POSIX spec as far as I am aware.

Why isn’t the better option the default?

argsnd · 2 months ago

because if you use the swipe gestures the buttons aren’t necessary

Seems like I'm against the trend here in HN, but I personally like it more the more I use it. (Admittedly I don't have any accessibility issues which may come up for others)

Also, I appreciate the UX improvements (as opposed to the pretty glass effect), such as the much improved menu system and the generally (IMO) improved changes in layout in Calendar, Mail, Safari, etc.

That said I do find it a bit more annoying to access different tabs in Safari but maybe that's why I get for using Safari.

argsnd · 2 months ago

If you head into Safari's settings you can reinstate the old bottom bar (or the even older top and bottom bars)

Some of it (like hiding the Safari tab button in a menu) feels like Windows-11-stupid.

Luckily, Apple is ok at supporting older phones, so I just have to be careful to not accidentally upgrade my SE to iOS 26.

Makes me nostalgic for Apple's interface guidelines, which were very well thought through, based on evidence, and with clear principles. https://vintageapple.org/inside_r/pdf/Human_Interface_Guidel...

You can just set it to show the tab button
