I don’t know what this means, but please don’t explain. applicative’s comment is correct. Every one of your bullet points is wrong, except perhaps the one about treesitter highlighting, but what should one expect? Why should a Markdown pars

“batch-mode typesetting seems an oddly low bar for what we can get from a computer.” I don’t know what this is intended to mean. “a live (WYSIWYG) typesetter” I don’t like this mode of interaction. No, thanks. Typst is fast enough to provid

Typst math output looks nearly identical to TeX math output. I have a simple comparison at https://lwn.net/Articles/1037577/ . This is to be expected, as they began with the same algorithm.

Excuse me for going meta, but your series of comments here have been extraordinarily informative, wise, and a pleasure to read. Thank you for taking the time (and for your work on TeX).

I disagree. Many people abhor WYSIWYG programs, myself included. Having tried both TeXmacs and Typst¹, it’s easy for me to understand why Typst is rapidly gaining adoption and why, after — how long, over a decade? — essentially nobody uses

Yeah, I’m interested in the subject but didn’t read this because of that.

Joking or not, in fact neural networks as classifiers are obviously useful: detecting cancer in medical images, for example. And that approach would, I’m sure, work better here than my crude regex. But this use of AI is distinct from its us

Yes, there are still plenty of AI stories getting past my filter. It’s just a regex on the titles.

Of course it does. If it’s slop it should be flagged (I say this after reading the edited submission). In the meantime you can avoid at least some of the slop by using https://hn-ai.org/ or one of the other anti-slop extens

What a brilliant idea! Of course, of course, it’s not in the repository so I can’t apt-get install it. Debian...always so far behind.

I made some rules: https://lee-phillips.org/humanmade/ I think I draw the line at a place that makes sense. (And mine was first, but I don’t care, as long as the movement takes off.)

I check the NYT every day. There are occasional articles that are truly great examples of journalism. But I cannot stomach the idea of sending any money their way. Their political and cultural biases infect nearly everything they put out, a

I’ll take your word for it; I’m not familiar with satellite-speak. But to me, “In this case, the fuel required to conduct such a maneuver is ~105-106m/sec” means that they’re talking about a quantity of fuel, but giving a velocity.
