Grumpydaddy , to mildlyinteresting in At the Internet Archive, this is how we digitize a book—one page at a time, by hand.

Looks like two pages at a time to me.

each piece of paper is a page, since they do the front of one and the back of another at the same time, it’s one page total…

Grumpydaddy ,

One Sheet, Two Pages A sheet of paper has two sides. Each side is considered one page. So a single sheet of unfolded paper is two pages.

RecallMadness ,

One sheet, two leaves, four pages.

A7thStone ,

Is that why each sheet of paper has the same page number on both sides in books? Oh wait they don’t.

BeMoreCareful , to mildlyinteresting in At the Internet Archive, this is how we digitize a book—one page at a time, by hand.

Why not run the spine through a table saw and just use a regular document feeder?

aeronmelon ,

I think they actually want to keep the book.

SinningStromgald ,

Sometimes books are valuable so cutting them into bits so they can go on the Internets faster isn’t feasible.

nonailsleft ,

In 10 years you can just reprint the book by molecule so why bother

Wow that seems painfully slow/tedious. Why isn’t it automatized? I think I saw a robot do like 20 pages a second on a yt some years ago.

prenatal_confusion ,

That would be interesting to see!

This is probably the method that gives you the best quality (deskewing, lighting) without cutting the back of the book and feeding it into a scanner. (AFAIK)

I saw a book scanner similar to this one that used a vacuum to turn pages but otherwise same principle.

Google have digitised a lot of books using some more advanced tech, though they started out with something a little like this.

cashews_best_nut ,

What happened to that in the end? I heard they wanted to digitize the worlds books and then it just petered out at some point and heard nothing about it. Did they continue or was it spun to Internet Archive to do?

My understanding is the project led into Google Books. Google fought many legal cases and ultimately won but their enthusiasm to scan more books seems to have waned. Google basically convinced judges that by only letting people see a few pages, it fell under fair use, but then that meant you didn’t get a giant library because you couldn’t read the whole book.

There’s an article about it here: edsurge.com/…/2017-08-10-what-happened-to-google-…

Also see www.hathitrust.org/about/ which is mentioned in the article.

aeronmelon ,

Do you remember the results of those speed scans? Crooked pages, parts of the document cut off, blurry scans, etc.

It was a lazy method that resulted in a lot of junk data.

I think this is what I saw. Not quite 20 pages/s hahah and also a different method.

The pylons have a really weird weight distribution and it makes it really easy for them to fall in the floor and push the pedals when no one is in there.

Source: Have had a similar scenario play out in a much smaller, less crowded venue.

He just does his boy dirty like that? Damn!

0x4E4F OP ,

Lol 🤣… yeah, he likes it 🤣…he starts falling slow motion to the ground to evade the attack and pick up something bigger from the neverending imaginary aresenal 🤣.

EmergMemeHologram , to lemmyshitpost in Ummm...

Your regular reminder that just being fat does not make you an incel, plenty of very fat guys have partners.

What makes a person an incel is the irrational hatred of women and thinking it’s their fault they don’t get laid while at the same time not noticing or trying to improve upon their own issues.

This can go the other way too where women hate men for the same reason, but I don’t know what that’s called.

It is ironic though that her pair of one was simply describing fat guys, but I have no idea how much audio was clipped or what the contract here is.

KombatWombat ,

Strictly speaking, incel refers to someone involuntarily celibate, regardless of gender. Femcel is the common 4chan term for female incels. It’s been used to describe the often misandrist subculture of r/FemaleDatingStrategy as an example.

EmergMemeHologram ,

I believe it’s not involuntary though. I bet it feels involuntary because change is hard, but I bet very very few people actually fall into that bin.

At some point i think they just accept the label and stop trying to improve while pointing to the convenient answers.

For a minute I didn’t see the stock, and thought the only way to stabilize the recoil was with your eye on the periscope
