A Harvard student told me something I can't stop thinking about. When they go to the library, every single screen has ChatGPT open. Homework that used to take hours now takes minutes.
But then they talk to alums who say entry-level roles are basically gone. The jobs they planned their entire college trajectory around don't exist anymore.
AI made homework easier but made proving you deserve a job exponentially harder.
We’re updating olmOCR, our model for turning PDFs & scans into clean text with support for tables, equations, handwriting, & more. olmOCR 2 uses synthetic data + unit tests as verifiable rewards to reach state-of-the-art performance on challenging documents. 🧵
DeepSeek-OCR is the best OCR ever.
It parses this extremely hard to read handwritten letter written by mathematician Ramanujan in 1913 with a frightening degree of accuracy.
Not perfect, but beats former best dots ocr. Bonus points if you can spot the errors.
Try it here:
imo ramenya Gen-AI mirip seperti era dot com 25 thn lalu. Saat dana pemodal kering nanti akan bertumbangan. Sama dengan internet yg tetap berguna setelah crash era dot com, bukan berarti AI hilang, tapi pemainnya akan lebih sedikit dan lebih realistis aplikasinya.
This Chinese AI model just changed document OCR forever.
It can parse complex documents with text, tables, formulas and figures in parallel simultaneously using task-specific prompts.
100% opensource.
Pendapatan Negara sd 31 Mei 2025 dilaporkan Kemenkeu (rilis APBN Kita) sebesar Rp995,3 triliun. Tidak tersaji perbandingan dengan tahun lalu (biasanya ada). Ternyata turun atau kontraksi (-11,41%) dari Rp1.123,52 T. Lebih buruk dari saat pandemi 2020 (-9,02%). Kok disamarkan?
ML researchers just built a new ensemble technique.
It even outperforms XGBoost, CatBoost, and LightGBM.
Here's a complete breakdown (explained visually):
Claude 4 just refactored my entire codebase in one call.
25 tool invocations. 3,000+ new lines. 12 brand new files.
It modularized everything. Broke up monoliths. Cleaned up spaghetti.
None of it worked.
But boy was it beautiful.

Itu sebabnya saya kembali ke jaman ujian kertas+pensil lagi. Ternyata perusahaan juga kembali ke in person interview. Masalahnya kalau dosen tdk peduli, saat mhs lulus kaget nggak bisa curang lagi.
Some trends are unstoppable... and so companies will adapt to assume they are always present
AI easy to use for cheating on any kind of virtual interview --> in-person interviews returning
This is not about this one dev building this one tool. Hundreds more tools will follow:
Sekarang semua tugas, quiz yang mengguankan komputer saya asumsikan dibantu LLM. Jadi tugas yang diberikan juga berbeda dibandingkan sebelumnya (lebih banyak, lebih kompleks). Sedangkan ujian jadi tutup laptop dan HP.
.. dan hanya sekitar 50% penduduk Indonesia yg punya akses internet. Ini akan menjadi ganjalan besar ekonomi Indonesia 10-20 tahun lagi. Seharusnya prioritas kominfo ini.
New guy at work (recent CS grad) doesn’t test anything he builds AT ALL
- Tells me it’s done
- I try it and it fails
- Show him the error
- Tells me “oh didn’t think about that”
Do people not check their work these days?? There are art history students more capable than this.
