In plain words

This VNC viewer is designed for eInk devices and delivers 30 FPS performance when writing text. It enables users to view and interact with remote displays on e-paper screens, which typically have slow refresh rates. The tool is hosted on GitHub, making it accessible as an open-source project. It suits anyone who wants to use eInk devices like e-readers or digital notepads for remote desktop access or real-time text input applications.

    It's been a while since this ESP8266 VNC Client library has been out. https://github.com/Links2004/arduinoVNC Today I finally got my ILI9341 display, so tried to set it up as a remote display for the Raspberry Pi.

    Benchmarking VLMs vs. Traditional OCR2025 · getomni.ai · ▲146

    Vision models have been gaining popularity as a replacement for traditional OCR. Especially with Gemini 2.0 becoming cost competitive with the cloud platforms. We've been continuously evaluating different models since we released the Zerox package last year (https://github.com/getomni-ai/zerox). And we wanted to put some numbers behind it. So we’re open sourcing our internal OCR benchmark + evaluation datasets. Full writeup + data explorer here: https://getomni.ai/ocr-benchmark Github: https://github.com/getomni-ai/benchmark Huggingface:…

    Hey HN, I've been working on https://pornpen.ai, a site for generating adult images. Please only visit the site if you are 18+ and willing to look at NSFW images. This site is an experiment using newer text-to-image models. I explicitly removed the ability to specify custom text to avoid harmful imagery from being generated. New tags will be added once the prompt-engineering algorithm is fine-tuned further. If the servers are overloaded, take a look at the feed and search pages to look through past results.
