Ask HN: Do you delete your browsing history?
3 by tempestn | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I'm torn on this. Not infrequently, some random page I saw months ago will come to mind, and I'll use browser history to find it. More infrequently, I'll go even further back than that. And just for posterity, I enjoy having it all accessible. That said, it also makes me a bit nervous having it all there, especially synced to my Firefox account, for some hypothetical hacker, or discovery process, or who knows what. Got me thinking, I wouldn't be surprised if HN is as split between history savers and deleters as I am internally. Curious how you all handle it.

Archive.[today|is|ph|il|md|etc.] has been unresponsive for the last few days. I've searched around a bit but haven't seen any reporting as to what's up with the site(s). Does anyone have any information about this? Speculation? Wild rumors?

Show HN: Open-weight OCR got so cheap I had to share it

This was not supposed to become a product. When PaddleOCR-VL-1.6 dropped, independent benchmarks put it at the top of document parsing models. I had to try it. I needed a provider, but there simply isn't one ready for production that I would trust. So i set one up myself. I assumed that even after getting it running, serving a vision-language model would be expensive. It turns out the opposite is true. Once I had it running properly, the cost was absurdly low. At proper GPU utilization, the cost is only around $1 per 1,000 pages. The nearest competitors are either much lower quality (Azure Read) or absurdly expensive (Extend or Reducto). Even Mistral OCR 4 which is really good and pretty cheap is still 4x more expensive. So I had to share it. I made the endpoitns public, and vibe-coded a simple dashboard. Let me know what you think!

I'm a long-time macOS user and I just want a change. Curious what people here actually use every day and what made you stick with it. Curious if you also switched from a Mac too. I'd like to get out of the "walled garden" ecosystem.
