I’m not stating that non-LLM OCR doesn’t exist. I’m saying the opposite. I tried to OCR some documents without using an LLM and it failed and it wasn’t some obscure format. I haven’t tested to see if an LLM OCR would’ve passed.

Instapaper is awesome. I’ve been a paying subscriber and strongly recommend it. Patrick has built RSS2Instapaper if you’re interested in having feeds flow straight in.
