• Is there a BNF grammar of the TeX language? (2010)

  Typst[1] is another tool which implements document generation from the ground up. Zerodha had a great article [2] how they migrated from LaTeX based pdf generation to Typst, which ended up saving time and compute. [1]: https://typst.app/. - Source: Hacker News / 15 days ago

• LaTeX and Neovim for technical note-taking

  I have been using Typst[1] for taking notes on machine learning. It's fast (updates are instantaneous). The syntax is almost like Markdown. I tried to learn LaTeX but Typst seems to have an easier learning curve. [1]: https://typst.app/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• LaTeX and Neovim for technical note-taking

  I'd personally consider using Typst (https://typst.app) instead of LaTeX. It has a much more readable syntax and you don't need as much snippets to write it. You can use in on their website or run the compiler locally just like LaTeX. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• I'm able to take notes in mathematics lectures using LaTeX and Vim (2019)

  For writing math notes (especially in vim), I switch to using Typst (https://typst.app). Here's a few points: - The syntax is a lot lighter and easier to type fast. I was up and running in half hour after starting to use it. Once in a while I can look up some symbol name in the docs but that's about it. - Empty document is a valid document.

• What AI tools are you using for your work (especially your academic writing/publications)?

  As a start I'll share what I've been using- I've mostly so far been using AI to help with some of my teaching - beautiful.ai for serious help with creating presentations.ChatGPT and Perplexity for lesson plans, rubrics, syllabi etc. Would love to hear what and how others are using things to make their work better/job easier.

• Are there any great AI presentation makers?

  I have a workshop written and would love to save myself some time in creating the slides if there's a tool out there for this. I've tried beautiful.ai (first result on google), but not quite what I'm looking for. Source: about 1 year ago

• PM decks

  With the number of decks that I have to produce, I've succumb to using Themforest.net for some consistent deck themes. Those templates are fairly easy to tweak. However, as of late, I've started using beautiful.ai for building quick and decent-looking decks. Like ChatGPT and other prompt-tools, the more you use it the more you'll get a sense of how to get the output that works best for you. Source: about 1 year ago

• Any suggestions for getting from prompts to presentations?

  Hey, I've had somewhat okayish results with beautiful.ai and gamma.app. I've also heard people about https://simplified.com/ai-presentation-maker. Source: about 1 year ago
