These are amazing!

Ha! Maybe that was in my subconscious (The Bear is a great show). My initial mental image was remembering the morning rush at Starbucks when sometimes, just sometimes, everything simply flowed.

Closest I can picture is managing people in food-service industries: you stop for a moment and look at your kitchen and everything is being executed not only exactly how you told your staff to do it, but how you yourself would do it and how you imagine it being done in your mind's eye.

This was a moving read. Glad it's finally "home" for you.

This was a really good piece, Zeb. Thanks for sharing it with us. Alaska is a mighty long way from Germany, but I'd love to Wrangell-St. Elias one day.

New @hf.co BigLAM dataset: 9,363 OA books with page images + rich MARC metadata for evaluating (and training) VLMs on metadata extraction.
