Uh, the bellman equation was first used for control theory and is the foundation of modern reinforcement learning... so wouldn't that imply LLMs "come from" control theory?
Latex is great, but installing it is a hassle. FWIW, typst is lean enough to install (very quickly) as a vscode extension. I’ve never had a useful Tex install that was less than like 4gb
I tried this out this week for a 2 page technical memo. It generally works great, and pandoc can sort of convert latex to typst to get you started, but the crucial thing it’s missing atm is the ability to embed pdf images. You have to convert to svg or a rasterized format first. Way too much of my workflows are written to produce visualizations in pdf, and this creates enough friction to keep me from using it for anything bigger than a memo. Other than the pdf thing though, I’m sold. The improved compilation time (which is not an overleaf thing — latex is slow) is huge
I've read the full docs, plus explored the code in github, and found zero information about how Typst handles hyphenation. This is big 'no go' for any work not in English. Which is surprising since the authors are German!
I would be very interested in how you define them as having a "long reputation of good research", given that they don't do research so much as pointing to various links without checking their quality and make sure to specify may/could/potentially/... All over their long form articles specifically to not be making any claim since they don't research them enough.
I'm not blaming them at all for it by the way, they're a comedic publication not investigative, I'm just weirded out by your perception of them when they themselves go out of their way to not purport themselves as any kind of authoritative source.
Literally just look at their homepage - it's entirely bottom-of-the barrel top 10 lists about celebrities.
I miss old Cracked.com when they had a consistent set of good writers but even in the good ol' days they were making comedy articles and not serious journalism.
In my experience, Ivy League students are some of the most profoundly stupid people I've ever met
