將PDF轉換成模仿成掃描檔：ScanSim PDF / Converting PDF to Simulated Scanned Document: ScanSim PDF

列印、簽名、拍照、轉換成PDF、上傳，這是現在很多證明文件的處理手續。處理後的PDF檔案只是圖片的封裝，不能直接選取與複製，只能作為證明文件留存，這已經是最基本的資安防護手段。然而，如果可以將數位文件直接轉換成彷彿掃描檔一樣的檔案，那不就可以省下列印與掃描的繁雜手續了嗎？也許這時候Docker APP ScanSim PDF就能夠派上用場了。

Printing, signing, taking a photo, converting it to PDF, and uploading it—this is the procedure for processing many verification documents nowadays. The processed PDF file is merely a container for the image; the text cannot be directly selected or copied. It can only serve as an archive of the verification document, which is a basic security measure. However, if digital documents could be directly converted into files that resemble scanned documents, wouldn't that eliminate the tedious printing and scanning steps? Perhaps the Docker APP ScanSim PDF could be useful in this situation.

自行架設Dify使用的重排序模型：Text Embeddings Inference / Self-Hosting a Dify Reranking Model: Text Embeddings Inference

隨著在Dify使用的知識庫越來越多，傳統的用相似度來計算權重分數的做法已經不敷使用，而使用重排序模型來排序檢索結果順序的做法也越來越受歡迎。這次我們來架設HuggingFace推出的Text Embeddings Inference，並讓Dify能用它來做重排序吧。

As the knowledge base used in Dify grows, the traditional method of calculating weight scores based on similarity is becoming inadequate.  Using reranking models to reorder retrieval results is gaining popularity.  Let's set up HuggingFace's Text Embeddings Inference and integrate it into Dify for reranking.

修改Zotero本機的轉譯器 / Modifying Zotero's Local Translators

如果你覺得用Zotero引用資料時，欄位的值不太正確，那通常都是轉譯器的問題。我們可以試著去修改轉譯器，然後在Zotero Connector裡按下「Reset Translators」按鈕讓修改後的轉譯器生效。

If you find that the field values are incorrect when citing materials using Zotero, it's usually a translator issue. We can try modifying the translator and then click the "Reset Translators" button in the Zotero Connector to apply the changes.

有段時間桌寵概念挺流行的。大家都想要在桌面養個什麼玩意兒來分散自己寶貴的注意力。後來我也決定在工作列裝個CatWalk，看小貓配合我努力工作時狂奔。
