lol no, not at all. It still needs tons of manual work to get it up to quality in terms of topology, material, etc.

I wonder if an optimizing regex-compiler could transform the set of regexes into a single finite state machine that’s more efficient than running individual regex recognizers in parallel. The optimal solution feels NP-hard, but I wonder if one could get sufficient improvements with some heuristic optimizations, like extracting common clauses, etc.
Maybe @burntsushi has some insights about this?
If you don’t have moral qualms with using your eyelids to block ads then you shouldn’t have with software content blockers either. It just outsources the act of blocking from your eyes into the computer.
*Except with touch-based interfaces. Which are the majority of browsers today.
The story I’m seeing at most companies is that they have a few old guys taking care of maintaining their legacy C/C++ codebase, and there’s a diverse bunch of young folks shipping new components in Rust.
“When used in lossy mode, JBIG2 compression can potentially alter text in a way that's not discernible as corruption. This is in contrast to some other algorithms, which simply degrade into a blur, making the compression artifacts obvious.[14] Since JBIG2 tries to match up similar-looking symbols, the numbers "6" and "8" may get replaced, for example.
In 2013, various substitutions (including replacing "6" with "8") were reported to happen on many Xerox Workcentre photocopier and printer machines, where numbers printed on scanned (but not OCR-ed) documents could have potentially been altered. This has been demonstrated on construction blueprints and some tables of numbers; the potential impact of such substitution errors in documents such as medical prescriptions was briefly mentioned.”
That’s what I thought!
Why am I not surprised?
On a more serious note, I know someone who does this kind of talk in real life, 24/7. He's insufferable.
