"Balls. We want the finest wines available to humanity. We want them here, and we want them now!"

"I feel like a pig shat in my head."

"I don't advise a haircut, man. All hairdressers are in the employment of the government. Hair are your aerials. They pick up signals from the cosmos and transmit them directly into the brain. This is the reason bald-headed men are uptight."

The tricky part is maintaining a mapping between your LLM extractions and these coordinates.

One way to do it would be with two LLM passes:

  1. First pass: Extract all important information from the PDF
  2. Second pass: "Hey LLM, find where each extraction appears in these bounded text chunks"

But the bounding box problem hits close to home. We've found Unstructured's API gives pretty accurate box coordinates, and with some tweaks you can make them even better. The tricky part is implementing those tweaks without burning a hole in your wallet.

There's different ways to validate, but that's why maintaining hierarchy and metadata is so important. If you track this information properly, you can cross-check responses across different LLMs!

I don't have a proper marketing site yet since I've been focused on building the app, but it's coming soon (hopefully...)

I haven't had issues with hallucinations. If you're interested, my email is in my bio.

I’m a software engineer at major US research university developing AI-powered software to improve critical reading and writing skills in higher ed. The idea is to provide immediate, high-quality feedback to students, closing the “latency” of submitting something and waiting to hear back from you professor.

I do genuinely think AI can reshape teaching and learning, but it will be a slow iterative process. We can use it scale what works (personalized learning and tutoring, helping students develop mastery/automaticity on topics, targeting areas where they struggle). It can also automate time-consuming tasks that bog teachers down.

> you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem. From Windows or Mac, this FTP account could be accessed through built-in software.

I’m a senior dev in NYC with ~7 years experience working across the stack (NextJS/ReactJS, Node, Python, Postgres, SQL Server, etc). I’m also not half bad at design.

I haven’t been able to get a response much less an interview.

Why do we expect deep psychological or philosophical insights to make things better for us, or lead to “improvements”? Why do we think that a profound revelation will bring clarity and resolution to our lives? It could just as well make us more crazy.

There’s the famous case of the “Rat Man”. Whether Freud cured him is up for debate, though he most likely didn’t. But it’s a deep mediation on neurosis, obsession, cognitive dissonance, love, hate. It raises more questions than it answers but it's incredibly insightful. It gets at the heart of human fragility and I think that's something to take seriously.

Freud was as much a mystic, philosopher, and literary genius as he was a psychiatrist. I've found his ideas to be extraordinarily deep and they have influenced my life and thinking in profound ways.

Since I'm the admin, I checked and confirmed that I do have access. It's enabled for both my account and the entire organization.

Whatever.
