Andrzej Wąsowski ☑️ 🟥<p>wrapfig.sty is a real pain <a href="https://social.itu.dk/tags/LaTeX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LaTeX</span></a>. You need to babysit them all the time. It turns out that it is even worse with <a href="https://social.itu.dk/tags/typst" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>typst</span></a>. It leads to random compilation failures. There must be a <a href="https://social.itu.dk/tags/WrapCurse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WrapCurse</span></a> in the typesetting hell.</p>
Lorenzo Isella<p>Here I tend to read a lot of negative comments about <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/LLMs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LLMs</span></a>, but does anyone share my experience? I use them as an aid to mostly write <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/rstats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rstats</span></a> and <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/LaTeX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LaTeX</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/tikz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tikz</span></a> code faster or recently to clean up a very messy <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>emacs</span></a> configuration file. They may hallucinate and I always need to double check the output, but I find <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/LLMs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LLMs</span></a> extremely useful. The ecological footprint is a discussion for another day.</p>
Bley, a gooey shapeshifter 🔞CW: Latex
Anselm "Two Sheds" Schüler<p>I am often baffled at how LaTeX is viewed as the gold standard of maths typesetting when it produces absolutely HIDEOUS output like these abominations</p><p><a href="https://ieji.de/tags/latex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>latex</span></a> <a href="https://ieji.de/tags/typesetting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>typesetting</span></a> <a href="https://ieji.de/tags/math" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>math</span></a> <a href="https://ieji.de/tags/notation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>notation</span></a></p>
Brian Krupp<p>In writing research papers, I often have to anonymize information and if it is accepted, I have to de-anonymize it. To make this easier in LaTeX, I created a command:</p><p>%\newcommand{\anonymize}[2]{#1} % Shows original version <br>\newcommand{\anonymize}[2]{\emph{#2}} % Shows anonymous version</p><p>To use, it is simple:</p><p>\anonymize{Cleveland}{Some City}</p><p>If accepted, I just swap the comments. I'm sure there's a better way to do this, but this has been really helpful for me so far.</p><p><a href="https://hci.social/tags/academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>academia</span></a> <a href="https://hci.social/tags/latex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>latex</span></a></p>
