Wonder how well this works with broadcast graphics on live video... 🤔

China open-sourced a peanut-sized OCR that parses entire 100-page PDFs in one shot..

It's called Unlimited-OCR. Only 3B params. Runs locally.

Every other OCR tool chops your doc into pages and loses the thread. this one reads the whole thing in a single pass.

→ One-shot "long-horizon" parsing (32K context window)
→ Multilingual, out of the box
→ 93% on the standard parsing benchmark (+6 over baseline)
→ <0.11 error rate past 40 pages
→ Runs 100% locally on your own hardware
→ Works with Transformers, vLLM, SGLang, Docker, Ollama, llama.cpp

Traditional cloud OCR (Textract, Google Vision, Azure Doc Intelligence) costs $1.50–$15 per 1,000 pages.

This runs on your machine. For free. Forever.

Baidu built it explicitly to push DeepSeek-OCR one step further. Already at 1.9M downloads on Hugging Face and most people have no idea it exists yet.

100% open source.

@AjaySohmshetty @Cloudflare @andrewk17 Well, now I don't feel bad about the 100x increase when you got a 1000x increase!

Guessing it's time to build open source @cloudflare stack.

This is the essence of the Christian call to "live in the world, but not of it"

The less we own, the more free we are to persue God's calling, wherever it takes us

Pavel Durov owns 100% of Telegram, a company used by over a billion people and has hundreds of millions in the bank.

He doesn't own a house. No jet. No yacht. No real estate. Nothing.

Tucker Carlson was visibly stunned: "I've never heard of that before."

So why?

Durov's answer cuts straight to his core philosophy:

"My number one priority in life is my freedom. And once you start buying things, it will tie you down to a physical location."

It goes deeper than minimalism.

He explains that the reason he never took venture capital even as Telegram scaled to a billion users was independence:

"We knew that our mission and our goals are not necessarily consistent with the goals of funds that could be investing into us."

Most founders take the money. The valuation goes up. The cap table fills with names. And slowly, almost invisibly, the mission starts bending toward returns.

Durov refused to let that happen.

And the same logic applies to his personal life. Every asset you own doesn't just cost money, it costs attention. He puts it plainly:

"I know that if I buy a house, I buy a jet, something like that, I would be spending time on trying to make it nice. This will require a lot of time and effort."

Tucker jokingly asks: "Would you go with leather seats or velvet seats?"

Durov laughs, then delivers the line that says everything:

"For me, I would rather make decisions that would influence how a billion people communicate rather than choosing the color of seats in a house that only I and my relatives and a bunch of my friends will see."

That's the trade-off he's made deliberately, consciously, and completely.

No distractions. No investors pulling him sideways. No assets demanding his calendar.

Just the product, the mission, and the freedom to pursue both on his own terms.

This is the most America stuff I’ve seen.

Elon Musk just put a price tag on obedience. It costs $200,000.

Musk: “You don’t need college to learn stuff. Everything is available basically for free. You can learn anything you want for free.”

Every lecture. Every textbook. Every framework ever written. Free on any screen in any country right now. The entire knowledge monopoly collapsed in a decade. Nobody updated the price tag.

Musk: “Colleges are basically for fun and to prove you can do your chores. But they’re not for learning.”

Strip the ivy and the branding. What’s underneath is a four-year obedience trial. Can this person follow instructions on a schedule without asking why.

Musk: “There is a value that colleges have, which is seeing whether somebody can work hard at something, including a bunch of annoying homework assignments, and still do their homework assignments.”

That is the entire six-figure value proposition. Not what you know. Not what you can build. Whether you can be managed. The establishment doesn’t need you educated. It needs you domesticated.

Musk: “If you’re trying to do something exceptional, you must have evidence of exceptional ability. I don’t consider going to college evidence of exceptional ability.”

The system doesn’t produce exceptional. It produces manageable. It takes the most creative years of your life and teaches you to wait for instructions. That is not education. That is containment.

Musk: “Gates is a pretty smart guy, he dropped out. Jobs is pretty smart, he dropped out. Larry Ellison, smart guy, he dropped out.”

They didn’t leave because they couldn’t keep up. They left because the ceiling was underground.

8 billion people now carry the same library in their pocket. The one these institutions charged a lifetime of debt to access.

The only product the university still sells is the belief that you need one.

Automation is reliable every time, and honestly not harder than tweaking prompts to get a kinda correct result sometimes.

Let me help you automate and integrate your workflow today!

Some personal hot takes from AI: engineer Miami follows...

1. Software development is a dead-end profession because anyone can be a software developer now.

2. Anyone can use Cursor or any other tool and generate code. Being a coder and being a software engineer are different.

3. Computers used to be gated; now everyone has the power to make computers malleable. Everyone is a software developer now, but that does not mean they are software engineers

4. If you cannot demonstrate how a coding agent works, you are just a consumer and have imposed an artificial glass ceiling on your career as a software engineer.

5. If you are curious, you will have a job. If you have not been curious in the last two years, you are replaceable.

6. SaaS per-seat economics may become unstable as customers need fewer people to achieve results, prompting founders to think about new unit economics

7. Most companies will take two or three years (or more!) to figure out AI transformation.

8. Some companies are already building AI native teams of five to ten people who can build with the grain of AI

9. There will be an explosion in the number of software developers. Software development is now essentially free, and tokens are cheaper than humans

10. Not enough engineers know what it means to be a product engineer

11. JIRA ticket monkeys are cooked

12. If your company has banned AI, you should quit that company

13. AI is more like a musical instrument than just a tool
play with it, make discoveries, build intuition
learn where AI is good and where it fails

Who gets confused with the Ross shift button being the sole indicator of which set of inputs is selected?
@ross_video should allow themes to color shift layer buttons differently!
