For me, Gemini has been by far the best model for document understanding tasks. I look forward to seeing how much more capable this version is.

A storytelling/creativity card game. I was struggling for a bit to figure out a mechanic that could make it more fun and I think I am finally making some good progress. If anyone has tabletop simulator and wants to help test, hit me up. Stephen at the domain below.

Which off the shelf solutions have you tried? https://www.transkribus.org/ is generally pretty good with hard to read texts.

Ask HN: AWS SES Denial

SrFil — Thu, 16 May 2024 12:24:28 +0000

I created a landing page for my Kickstarter, and built everything on AWS- domain through route 53, connecting my email submission/management through an API (built in AWS) that then hits an AWS lambda function. It was supposed to then call the simple email service to store emails, but when I requested access to production they denied me and asked for more details. I provided the details as best I could, but they clearly didn't like my answer because, "We reviewed your request and determined that your use of Amazon SES could have a negative impact on our service. We are denying this request to prevent other Amazon SES customers from experiencing interruptions in service. For security purposes, we are unable to provide specific details." Is there a way to change things so that I might be approved? Or can someone recommend a good alternative?
