I'm not really into AI, but i love that this person is posting their blogpost as a LateX-formatted PDF on their personal page on a tilde server.
For those who don't know, a tilde server is a community-operated server distributing shell accounts (via SSH) to its members, and sometimes other services. See tildeverse.org for a small federation of such operators.
- rhn_mk1 5y agoI like people trying out things, but at the same time I can't help but be disappointed that PDF was chosen as the presentation format. I like my text to fit my screen/window rather than an arbitrary piece of paper.
- southerntofu 5y agoI personally also despise PDF as a medium. I'm just really happy somebody is daring to defy established norms because they feel like it. In an era of ultra-conformity on the web i find it refreshing to see that some people still use HTTP as a means to share documents of their choice, not just single-page applications.
- Zababa 5y agoI assumed that the LateX-formatted PDF was to give the impression that it's a paper, since the document also follows the norm of how paper are written (abstract, we, references, etc).
