I write the simplest incarnation of an idea onto an app, and just share it out with colleagues. I have no expectations. I'd say my hit rate is about 1/5. I consider it very high. It's also that high because my audience is my coworkers and I have a good idea of what they want. It's also that low because I just cobble together stuff that barely works, with the ultimate intent to see if i'd get more questions/requests out of it.
I was just using tesseract.js and the repo looks active. Tesseract is still crap, but it's the free crap, so I'll just put up with it. Grayscale seems to improve the OCR. I'm sure there are tons of other techniques to improve the result
No, it’s not. Being willing to admit you were wrong is foundational if you ever plan on building on ideas. This was a galaxy brained take if I’ve ever seen one.
It's absolutely not weird. Saying "I was wrong" is a signal that you can change your mind when given new evidence. If you don't signal this to other people, they will be really confused by your very contradictory opinions.
The opposite of that is sticking to your statements which is stubborn and foolhardy. Owning up to it is courageous.
Which actually lends me to respect politicians who do that, and instead ridicule people who post old videos of Joe Biden or Obama or Hillary Clinton mandating heterosexual couples. A virtuous person is also open to adapting their convictions continually based on present day evidence and arguments - what is science otherwise?
