I bet 10$ I'd spend less time typing it from the t-shirt. And I wouldn't boil two kettles of water in the process.
But hey, AI makes you 10x more productive, I suppose
OCRing this is a nightmare and is a good benchmark to any self-proclaimed good OCR/vision model. I think though it could likely be easily OCR'd if you give the image to any decent agentic harness with a good vision model, e.g. newest Claude/GPT ones, and tell them to split the image per lines, and then just OCR each line individually. I wonder if the script itself was written by an LLM before obfuscation? There seem…
I seem to recall seeing an Akamai-branded base64'd shell script on a white shirt pre-2021(?), so unless they've changed the code since then, I doubt it...
> I ran OCR in a few ways: First, using the built-in OCR of the circle-to-search feature on Android, which is often very good. Second, by using Tesseract with a few options and tweaks. And third by running it through Claude. After diffing the three to look for mismatches and getting Claude to output a table of locations for quick scanning, it became trivial but time-consuimg to tidy up the remainder I bet 10$ I'd spe…

You may want to retract that bet: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48830846
My bet is against manual OCR with various engines + finding mistakes later using an LLM.

Are we really at the "redditor insult" type comments stage of HN now? There is nothing wrong with saying a piece of code is broken.
Broken seems a little hyperbolic, it has an implicit dependency on a standard POSIX tool.
