Oh the Karens these days!

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…
The last time Internet people were obsessed with OCRing some base64 was a few months ago when the DoJ released tons of emails from some guy who died, but they were released as rasterized PDFs. Can't remember his name now, there's been so many distractions...

Has anyone ever made a monospace font with dynamic kerning? Which is a silly thing I never thought of until I read the above comment. This sounds nonsensical at first glance(and it may be) but hear me out. We use monospace fonts for a reason, they stack in a grid nicely. But within the confines of that grid there is room to shift a character left or right a bit which may lead to a nicer to read monospace. (it is equa…
iA Writer has Mono, Duo and Quattro fonts, with the latter two being almost monospaced. They concede some size variations for specific characters (Duo has 150% width characters, Quattro also uses 50% and 75% for narrow characters). It's a fun subtle adaptation to keep close to the typewriter-like experience of the app. https://ia.net/topics/a-typographic-christmas

All I remember is that it had some to do with Bill Clinton sleeping with underage girls and Bill Gates with a nasty case of VD.
He even sent the now-deceased man a birthday card with some words that strongly suggest he knew what was going on..
