1. Why not use Markdown-compatible syntax? I‘m not an Typst author, but I don’t get your point. How are you going to specify a 2 column outlay, for example? Markdown is not very expressive. You can always compile (less expressive) Markdown

I’m not affiliated to Typst and still think LaTeX at this point in time is one of the worst things to deal with as an academic. Errors can be extremely unclear. And yeah sure many discussions for all kinds of packages and backends except fo

I‘ve been using Typst in production to generate a PDF on the fly and it has been amazing. Much smaller dependencies than LaTeX and it was also extremely fast. The syntax takes a bit of getting used to but compared to LaTeX I can’t complain.

I‘ll probably get downvoted for this, but big companies do not ruin everything for profit. Google Calendar, for example, is a simple tool which is very well implemented on various systems and it just works. And if you want more privacy, the

In the 1960s, high resolution images were definitely possible (and taken daily from Russian territories), but only when the plane was overhead.

> AI, over the long term, will render humans mostly useless. An extraordinary claim needs extraordinary evidence. If you use the word "may", then I agree. But I don’t think it’s a certainty at this point.

This makes a lot of sense in my opinion. OpenAI has only satisfied the absolute minimum requirements for their data controls. If you disable "Chat History & Training" (also known as "Chat History" in the app), then a

Earning money by making music is a power law, that is, only a few people will make a lot of money while many will earn almost nothing. This is partially due to the required skills. If a system could lower the barrier to entry, then you coul

I do see many young people making severe changes compared to their parents, usually with reasoning along the lines of "we don’t know what is gonna happen with increased CO2 (etc) levels, but so far the earth has been pretty comfy for h

I‘s say those are covered by Helmer with scale power. Spending millions on tiny process optimizations or other research is possible due to the large revenue streams that are coming in. For example, in terms of scale economies, only when you

Then don't do it and then there is no issue with a lack of workers either. My point was that the lack of workers is not the problem because the article seems to suggest that.

As anecdotal counter-evidence, I have a dozen relatives who are lifelong farmers and they are doing pretty good for their ages even though farming is statistically a very dangerous job. Also, office workers often get carpal tunnel syndrome,

Depends on how small it is. What I can argue for is that there are probably parts of the government that could be removed. Bureaucracy in Western countries has only increased over the last 60 years, for example. Rules are almost never remov
