  • I tried to leave a comment, but it doesn’t seem to be showing up there.

    I’ll just leave it here:

    too tired to look into this, one suggestion though - since the hangup seems to be comparing an L and a 1, maybe you need to get into per-pixel measurements. This might be necessary if the effectiveness of ML or OCR models isn’t at least 99.5% for a document containing thousands of ambiguous L’s. Any inaccuracies from an ML or OCR model will leave you guessing 2^N candidates which becomes infeasible quickly. Maybe reverse engineering the font rendering by creating an exact replica of the source image? I trust some talented hacker will nail this in no time.

    i also support the idea to check for pdf errors using a stream decoder.



  • I wouldn’t call myself an “avid” user but I have been using it for about 6 years.

    My pain points would be the current driver support on new laptops. Nothing they can do but it’s always been a pain in the ass to encounter some broken ACPI kernel implementation that for example doesn’t call a required Microsoft Modern Standby extension or fails to bring a computer out of suspend.

    My other issue isn’t really an issue, but installers need to have you enter all information and then just walk away. None of “do you want to participate in the package survey” after a super lengthy download. Debian is the worst of these offenders and I can’t believe no one on their team has ever tried to fix it in the years it has been around.
