I want to create a NN that would be able to read text from images. Is there anyone who's familiar with such things and is willing to spend their time teaching me how to do this?
I did a bit of research and it seems like a starter task when working with NN
soooo ocr..?
It's not accurate enough and NNs are more interesting
I can teach you..
if you can help me with this thing I'm doing right now.. it's related to lists..
else I can teach you later when I'm free anyway.. but i'm currently occupied with what I'm trying to do
I used Tesseract and it was like 90% correct. Maybe Google or ABBYY will yield better results, haven't tried them yet
What thing?
I have a list of list of lists..
token_verticals = [vertical_spec(item) for item in tok_list]
vertical_spec(item) basicaly returns a list of lists
I want to change it to a list of lists.. based on whether the inner lists contain the word auto..
but the word auto might occur as auto/something/something..
That's some heavily nested crap
yeah.. v.v
maybe I can check it as im calling the function
whether the list I get contains auto
not sure how
Show the example of data
the vertical_spec function returns the list: ['auto/automobiles/vehicles', 'organization/company', 'jewellery/jewels', 'artifact/musem/item']
I just want to have a bool value of whether the list contains auto or not
hmm I think I got it
rubberduck
does it again
auto_lists = [list if 'auto' in ''.join(list) for list in lists]```I keep forgetting whether conditions should go before for a in b part or after that
can I add or conditions to the if
like automobile or vehicle
should probably use if any() then to keep it readable
any(list) ?
what if I had /Autos
the code above doesnt work
auto_lists = [list if any('auto' in ''.join(list).lower(), 'vehicle' in ''.join(list).lower()) for list in lists]```why do you do join here
To check if its elements contain auto
Otherwise it will only match if an element is exactly auto
sand goblet
This is really not something you should be trying to do in one line
rough sapphire
Yeah, gotta move the conditions outside, but it works https://i.imgur.com/cPEoGsw.png

Jan Koum, the founder of WhatsApp, a messaging app acquired by Facebook in 2014, quit the company in April. He reportedly did not like how Facebook wanted to handle users' private data. @rough sapphire
ok... why are you tagging me in this.. what did I do:v
Don't know why it did that
rough sapphire
@rough sapphire are you here still.. wanna work on that ocr now
Only if not actively
Since I'm at work
ok.. I'll tell you how to get started.. and you can get back if you have questions
i'll be here.. most of the time
being a bot and all..
the ocr, is it for characters in english?
Yes. Here's what I did with Tesseract:
http://s3.micp.ru/ru1p9.png
http://s2.micp.ru/38Vzq.png
http://s1.micp.ru/YPzn3.png
No matter how I tried, it couldn't recognise everything. I think it's a good task to start with NN since those can easily be taught to recognise handwritten text
It returned 95% of names accurately + some spoiled pieces
If I got it right, I need to chop each name into characters and feed those to the NN, so the first problem is finding characters
do you have handlabelled data
No, but I can spend some time labeling the characters
that would help.. and you dont have to use tesseract.. make your own nn
That's what I was going to do, but idk how
I actually started coding about half a year ago
do you want to use tensorflow or pytorch
What's the difference between those?
well tensorflow is a pain in the ass to work with.. or it was before tf2.0.. supposedly
but i haven't learned tf2.0 yet
tf is from Google.. pytorch is very common.. it's up to people's preferences.. performance wise Idk..
I'll try pytorch then
alrighty.. so we now have handlabelled data, your NN framework..
next to initialize your NN with some base parameters so you can train and validate
About data, all I did is crop the screenshots so they look like this. From what I've read, I need either single words/lines or characters. How do I do that?
well you need to hand label them
your training set is your image.. which in this case, each line of your screenshot.. and a corresponding label (handwritten text)
So I'll need to cut this into lines too
Okay
That shouldn't be hard since they have the same width
What about those emblems and numbers on the right? I don't need them, but removing them from the image isn't that easy
I just ignored everything with length < 5 to drop those
right.. then you initialize a model with some base parameters.. pick a loss function and an optimization function.. run it for a certain number of epochs.. till you get some % of accuracy in your validation
so since this is user names.. it's better if you cut it into characters.. and label those..
but either way is fine..
Characters have different width and idk how to identify them
it's ok.. no worries..
if your accuracy is low on some characters later on.. you can always label extra data and train again
Okay, so the hardest part for now is installing pytorch on my work machine
do you have a gpu.. you could always run it online
oh wait.. they probably kill your instance if it uses too much resources lol
It probably doesn't lmao. I'll have to do it at home
I can't even check, no perms for that
But I can install stuff
you;ll probably need to run it on gpu.. training time is considerably less
so run a temporary instance on cloud then delete it after you get the model as output
rough sapphire
Or I could train it at home where I got a normal PC, yeah
depending on how much data you want to train on.. that might take hours
The clan has only 300 members, it's 16 screenshots 🤷
So I will probably need to ask other clans too lmao

I have a Wifi issue, and as you're the best community I know for help I'll post it here
Tech guy came because it was 25Mbps guaranteed, I got usually 10-15 but one day i had 2Mbps all day and it was game day
Initially told me it was my Macbook. I got out my laptop from work (Dell), my Android and my iPhone. 4 different devices saying the same
then he blamed the router
He connected on Ethernet, and got really 25Mbps
Told me: you connect on Ethernet, or change the router. I'm on MBP 2016, there is no more Ethernet port.
stark prawn
Is this your own router or the isp's router?
shadow lily
and with this shitty ISP linked to my building, they are not responsible for routers...
sand goblet
Ethernet is the way to go.
shadow lily
Brazil things... own router
stark prawn
You can get usb to ethernet adapters

The problem with wifi is that it can get congested if there's a lot of wifi devices around
on game day, probably everyone was watching
shadow lily
I'm at top floor, disconnected all devices, it doesn't seem to be a congestion problem
stark prawn
Do you have any walls between you and the router?
shadow lily
a 5cm one, but being 20cm to the router doesn't solve the problem either
It seems like the antenna can't bare more than 15Mbps
idk if this is a setting issue or an hardware issue
shadow lily
"Copyright © 2008-2011 D-Link Systems, Inc." I guess this says a lot
but come on, even in 2011 we had more than 15Mbps
Forced the 802.11n, didn't solved the problem. Tried to change to 20/40Mhz too
shadow lily
Updated the firmware to the most recent one (2012), got 1 more Mbps lol

Gofmt was written to reduce the number of pointless discussions about code formatting. It succeeded admirably. I'm sad to say it had no effect whatsoever on the number of pointless discussions about syntax highlighting, or as I prefer to call it, spitzensparken blinkelichtzen.
Syntax highlighting is juvenile. When I was a child, I was taught arithmetic using colored rods (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuisenaire_rods). I grew up and today I use monochromatic numerals.

Yeah, although that's still relatively new
stark prawn
There's also a massive community and a huge amount of packages
vestal briar
Node and Go are the same age
sand goblet
too huge, I would say
vestal briar
That's a downside
sand goblet
ah, but JS is much older than node
sand goblet
Go's dependency management is also pretty bad
sand goblet
vestal briar
So it could be useful in both js and node.js
sand goblet
yeah, but you now need to decide what standard you're coding to
do you adhere to the latest standard? then either you're locking some browsers out, or you have to transpile your JS to older standards for them

Yup

on the other hand you could stick with an older standard, but then you're missing out on nice stuff like ES6 classes and the new async/await syntax

the company has mafia roots and shady dealings, it had its start from selling pirated music and movies..
they have click farms too.. that's how they now have more subscribers than pewdiepie..

i spent . an hour modelling this
vestal briar
I agree
Wholeheartedly
I remember a little snippet of rick and morty with a security guard being annoyed about someone cutting power to some electrics
Really, really familiar voice but I can't find it
vestal briar
It was like a parking area security room and it was a black dude, avg build
Yup
It isnt the mailman on the scamming episode in season one fyi
Not this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I04OIfbBrTg

@vestal briar thats not what I meant, joseph photoshopped an image of my face on stephen hawking a year ago or so but he lost it and so he made something I am just not going to share here now
vestal briar
I know
But it's vaugely related and I am sleep deprived on the tailend of a sugarhigh now
I can see the pixels in my screen
Gray makes the edges go white

vestal briar
I am currently stearing into my screen and it hurtd
That's better
Had it on 70% brightness in pitch black
tired osprey
So I actually wanted to learn for maths tomorrow / today checks clock yeah no Im not gonna sit down for 4 hours after the amount of sleep im gonna get
tired osprey
ask joseph or somebody
sounds like a joseph hting
why on earth am I getting commercials for universities I never checked before for subjects I never googled or was interested before
vestal briar
Because they are again doing vague stuff to hit a thing
Then use that thing to attempt (and fail) to make a convosation
tired osprey
yeah no not gonna catch me with psychology
vestal briar
Tut
tired osprey
if I wanted to study psychology i would have to have an average grade better than 1.2 aka cared about studying psychology 2 years ago
tired osprey
i dont think so
that 1.2 rules is just for germany
well
bavaria its easier / harder in other states
tired osprey
a question my mom also asked my father
vestal briar
Also I was gifted a £60 projector because I am the only one with a clear, white wall and I never use it
1st world problems
tired osprey
definitely
tired osprey
I dont need it anyway ¯_(ツ)_/¯
vestal briar
Things I don't need:
- Rackmount server (free)
- Lockpicking set (£15, present)
- 3d printer (£200)
- Projector (£60, no sell, present)
- Xbox one (£120, no sell, present)
- Half a gaming pc (£200, selling atm)
tired osprey
I can get a server for free
vestal briar
I brought for £120 using spare money but wanted a replacement because one of the psus died before it was even shipped
They just refunded the entire thing for some reason, probably it was selling with tiny profit margins and it costs more to replace
So free, slightly unstable server

my sugar rushes are usually sugar crashes at the same time. i remember once in a physics lesson my friend gave me loads of sweets and we were hyper as fuck. then i grabbed my water bottle to get a drink and to my dispair i noticed that it was empty. i cried so hard over it for about 5 minutes, then got hyper again afterwards. :D
vestal briar
Ok I think thats more than just sugar
I had 10 jaffa cakes, half a sharing bag of star bursts, like 3 crisp packs and 1/3 can of pringles
Also a can of irn bru
tulip palm
god i can't stand starbursts. my friend is scared of the red ones because a red one caused her to lose a tooth. not because she was chewing it, but because it had been in the fridge and thrown off her face. don't ask me why, i don't know either.
though the 10 jaffa cakes sounds absolutely spot on 👌
vestal briar
Not so nice and nice :P
I am going to sleep now
I have really crashed and it's like 20 to 4

What's going on peeps
Oh I see nix was shitting all over people after my black hole post that's nice good way to keep the new people here ffs
oak tangle
Did he?
shell blade
Yeah appears that way
shell blade
I dunno get me on a bad day ill make that school boy cry back to his mommy
Anyways as for forking that black hole image repo , I know they made their own frameworks for the Image processing it may be useful in other use cases but it's hard to say sop..
wet steppe
I was suprised they used an open source license for it
shell blade
Oh yeah academia always will
vestal briar
So what did they use apart from python?
shell blade
That way people can use their project for other things
wet steppe
looks like Python is taking over ground that R once had
shell blade
Yes and matlab too since python is free
wet steppe
oh yeah those matlab licenses are like 1k each
shell blade
Yepp super expensive
wet steppe
Javascript has pretty good plotting and stats libs now too
shell blade
Their is a really cool talk python to me podcast on that actually
wet steppe
I don't have the attention span for podcasts 😦
shell blade
That's too bad I love podcasts I listen to them all day
shell blade
A good website for?
vestal briar
Podcasts
shell blade
Ohh yeah what are you looking for?
vestal briar
Programming
Probably
I think there is a gnome-made thingy I seen when browsing gitlab
shell blade
Well talk python is good for sure then I like code newbie base.cs command line hero's security weekly and developer tea
shell blade
Hmm maybe ask known or Scott to see if they know any good ones like that
vestal briar
And nice, the gnome podcast app is like 98% Rust
pine vector
Python Bytes is good too

Cya 👋
Ah
I accidently gone on a mormon website
I was searching websites to get feeds and it is the LDS
Ooh this is fancy
rough sapphire
sometimes jehovah's witnesses show up at my door..
tulip palm
there is one street between my house and a jehovahs witnesses center and 4 churches
one street
rough sapphire
im not really religious.. but one of the girls is cute.. Im weighing whether to go or not :v
like.. not a jehovah's witness.. but they show up and pass flyers asking you to come to meet ups and stuff
every sunday.. lol.. people in my apartment building dont even open their doors because they know
rough sapphire
@rough sapphire They do that with literally everyone. When I was younger I worked at a carpet-cleaning company that was entirely staffed by JW followers, and they tried to get me to join as well.
They are 1-2 notches below a cult, whatever you want to call that particular level lol
You aren't allowed to accept blood transfusions if you follow it, can't celebrate any of the major holidays, including your birthday.
since that's worshipping yourself (or someone else) as a false idol
wut.. my birthday is the greatest good you're ever gonna get
just coopted a line from the incredibles..lol..
but I knew about the blood transfusion thing.. scary stuff
yeah, so if you were in a traumatic accident, you're SOL
stupid stuff...
sol?
poop outta luck
ahh lol
well I've seen people in cults.. think it all comes down to will power.. some people are easily susceptible to that sorta stuff..
makes you wonder, the lengths people go to feel like they belong
I don't fully understand it, but I suppose to fill whatever void you have, there is no limits
the same goes with politics.. how people dont oppose ideas if 'their group' tells them whats what..
yeah..
most people just want to be accepted at the end of the day
not many people don't want to risk getting ostracized over their opinions or thoughts
its safer to just fit in, at the expense of many other things
it's because they dont feel comfortable in their own skin.. they need a group to dictate them their identity.. they need to realize that it's ok to be uncomfortable and thats when you grow
yep
I think we're both on the same page here lol
IMO, that's just part of growing up
and becoming who you are
pine vector
second time i've mentioned it here, but the above is exactly why the Desiderata is one of my favorite texts.
rough sapphire
it's a poem?
pine vector
yeah
rough sapphire
I remember when my grandpa died, a few days before it happened we visited him in the hospital. He knew it was coming, as did we. He wasn't sad at all, he just looked very angry. He spent a lot of his time watching TV and not doing much with this life, and we witnessed him realizing his life was ending and his opportunity to live his life to the fullest was gone.
so for my sister and I, it was like yeah.... you just have to go for it, and not care about the beaten path in life. do what you were meant to do.
they too have a story that's pretty cool.. I say that every day to people.. lol.. but something like "everyone you meet knows something that you don't"
regret is poison..yeah..
I'd rather be dead than a 80yr old man full of regret, I saw it with my own eyes
with that said, I'm getting some exercise, ttyl
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune hey pretty powerful stuff there.. for me this is what gym was about..
cya later man!
yeah same man, it feels good to take care of yourself. I do this jogging/pushup/sit-up routine, and it looks like its about to rain, so I want to beat the storms lol. cya
pine vector
yeah, the Desi (as i call it for short) is pretty spot on, especially for how few words it has. speaking of Grandfathers, that's where I learned of it. He had made a plaque with a copy of it (paper-laquered-to-wood, and singed with fire).
it hangs in my bathroom, so i see it every morning.
rough sapphire
cool.. you know it's a domino effect.. how values like this are things that get passed over and perhaps there's some solace in that..
rough sapphire
@rough sapphire depends
all religions start as cults except one of them maybe
Between Christianity and Islam, one is a cult, for sure, or maybe both
because someone is lying
Who's to say the Jehova's aren't correct?
correct in what sense?
But yeah jehova's bring cute girls to get people to join their religion
well
Islam and Christianity cannot be simultaneously true
someone is lying
Same for hinduism, buddhism, etc.
is it lying if you don't know its a lie?
It's still a cult
a relatively small group of people having religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister.
every religion at one point fit this definition
every religion has its extremists..
it's not about extremists
every religion was a cult
doesn't matter if they were extremists or totally peaceful
nearly everything can apply as a cult then, since you just need a small handful of "others" to regard it as strange or sinister
If I started a religion rn
and I was the nicest lad
and all my cult followers were super nice
we'd still be a cult
nah cult has a religious veneration or devotion aspect
does the definition rely on someone else to consider it strange?
yes
like
romans thought christians were just crazy jews
and they were kinda right
from an objective point of view
my point is that
the Jehova's are from an empirical point of view just as valid as any religion regardless of strange practices
because we cannot prove Islam is true, nor that Lutheranism is the correct form of Christianity
you are simply guessing
I guess its all relative to your own experiences and culture, that measure to what degree something is more strange than something else
relative yes..
for one, cults won't admit they are one..
dusky orchid
Yeah, let's not get into discussions on religion here.
rough sapphire
Abrahamic religions that came to Europe regarded European paganism as false and killed people for practicing it
dusky orchid
I'm going to have to ask for the subject to be changed
rough sapphire
Such as Judaism and Christianity
but regardless
my point here
eevee says we can't talk about religion..
is that if we remove your subjective preferences
the Jehova's are just as valid for now
dusky orchid

I was finishing my sentence
dusky orchid
I don't care
rough sapphire
I didn't even bring them up
dusky orchid
I don't care
rough sapphire
🤡 🌎
you know they completely changed eevee in the new pokemon series..
in the Japanese version, they make it look all timid.. but the American one just makes it look annoying.. very strange
rough sapphire
yeah.. have you seen the new episodes..
let me see which series..it's the one where he travels with Serena..I think
dusky orchid
Nope, I haven't watched the Pokemon series since I was a kid.
dusky orchid
well that wouldn't be good for the series, I expect
since that's ash's aim, and it would end
lol
rough sapphire
lol.. well it upsets the fans.. you know.. like we're rooting for him as he goes through the league table.. and he's almost in the finals or semis..
and boom
beaten by some side character we'll never remember
dusky orchid
lol
oak tangle
Sounds like an apt description of life
dusky orchid
At any rate, I only play the games. So I beat the league every generation 😛
rough sapphire
I think that's the reason they keep the series going.. to sell the games and merch..
but heroes need a happy ending :v hope they at least let him settle down with a gf
dusky orchid
lol
rough sapphire
pokemon s1/2 was pretty metal

Ok

Anyone know how to fix little popping/crackeling coming through the left speaker?
I am on ubuntu 18.04 and it is all digital
If I turn the digital input off on pc, it stops
heavy jackal
Any possibility of electromagnetic interference from something else nearby to the speaker or speaker cable?
vestal briar
Nope

Is it just me or is this an unusual way of getting an auth token https://vendor.net/json/GetAuthToken?username=username&password=password
like I know it's https but what about my browser history and their server logs?
sand goblet
I've seen it before
Don't do it with your browser I guess
XHR doesn't tend to write browser history
crisp sierra
I actually did test it with my browser, but in incognito
ashen socket
Does anyone know a good website with challenges to train my python? Or maybe another way to exercise.
crisp sierra
CheckIO and hackerrank come to mind, as does Project Euler for those more mathematically minded
wet steppe
best way is to repeatedly make small projects
I think this works a lot better than things like Project Euler
ashen socket
I also like making small projects more but I fear my creativity is kinda 0
wet steppe
there's a big list of projects somewhere on here
fervent dock
You can do advent of code all the way back to 2015, they have some really fun problems
They also have a little bit of lore to motivate you
ashen socket
Thanks I will look into it
wet steppe
you could do the early project euler ones and then quit when it becomes super hard
fervent dock
I should look into Project Euler too, I was browsing their website yesterday and it turns out some of the harder problems were only solved by roughly a 100 people
So I'm tempted to give it a try and fail horribly
wet steppe
its okay if you like number theory
but that's all its good for really
it's bit too mathsy to be an effective language learning tool

Make a bot, and add features to it - easy way 😃 if u see something u like on another bot, try adding it to yours
Maybe even try adding call stuff

discord bot is a good way to learn yes
