I wanted a way to safely see what’s inside those files without actually opening them on my own computer. I couldn’t find any service that did exactly that, so I built one: Seguradoc.

It opens PDFs inside a sandbox, generates image snapshots of each page, and uses Mistral AI to run OCR and produce short summaries of image-based scanned PDFs. It also checks any detected links or QR codes against URLhaus for known phishing or malware sources.

This comes from a real problem I had, as some of these PDFs were actually malicious containing phishing attempts. These are directed and personalised attacks.

Of course your browser sandboxes these PDF files but I'd prefer not opening these files at all in my computer - being sandboxed by the browser or just using MacOS preview.

Let me know your feedback regarding this tool.

They are probably banning most smaller advertisers and sticking with the largest ones.

I’d say the firmware has precautions against this problem. Could it be only a small number of phones with defective panels presenting this problems and people blowing it out of proportion?

Also, imagine having so much time to spare you create an entire website to hate on Web3.

It wants to control everything, even how we spend our cash and how.

But in this sense, shouldn't they be suing Google as well? Since Google as a search engine, also crawls the web and shows their articles in their search results, usually it may even use them for those quick answers features.

My 5 cents on this are that NY Times noticed OpenAI has deep pockets, they may have ground to sue and decides to try their look in order to get some quick easy money. Now, I don't know if what OpenAI is doing with ChatGPT does not fall under fair use.

A country that had literally dozens of nuclear plants is now one of the biggest producer of CO2 emissions.

Real geniuses.

Coming back to the matter at hand, there's a lot of new battery technologies and I strongly believe that current evs will be able to switch from Lithium if a better technology comes. Also Lithium batteries are recyclable so they might become useful to store energy in the grid, though I barely see investment for it worldwide.

Nuclear for me seems more and more as a silver bullet, together with the various renewables and grid storage. But this is just energy production, we still have a lot of things to stop burning fuels that right now seem damn impossible.
