Maths feels like a first class citizen in latex. The syntax is ugly, but there is some logic through the legacy jank.

Typst makes fundamental design decisions that render it unsuitable beyond extremely simply equations. In LaTeX, curly braces are nearly always reserved for enclosing arguments, to avoid confusion with actual brackets.

Typst uses normal brackets for both its scripting and actual maths.

For example, \frac{n(n+1)}{2} in latex turns into (n(n + 1)) / 2 in typst. The typst code is incredibly unclear - the first set of brackets with the slash together actually form the fraction operator, so neither end up visible.

You can see how this would start to struggle even with high school level maths, with bracketed terms and possibly fractional terms in exponents, integrals, etc.

For example, it is very difficult for me to work out the difference between the following three in typst. That is specifically not what you want from a typesetting language.

1/2(x + y)
1/x(x + y)
1/2^x(x + y)

LaTeX ignores whitespace, so you can just use a formatter to space out your code and ensure the curly braces. This is not even an option in typst, which uses the space as an escape character.

Damn even DLSS 5 doesn’t know the correct size of his face

Google Translate’s backend has been moved to Gemini since December 2025, and is vulnerable to prompt injection. Have a foreign phrase to translate, then input some meta instructions in English underneath it, and it’ll follow the possibly malicious meta instructions.

Google states that this move was to introduce more features, such as conversational mode.

It’s a new form factor, you’re supposed to place it between two buns like a hotdog

Yep, US citizenship is one of the most expensive in the world, due to their uniquely harsh taxation of expats.

Unironically good advice though.

Some relationship experts recommend taking elements of treating your SO more like pets, because we are way more patient towards them, understand and reciprocate their needs for affection better, and don’t expect them to perfect.

Eh, I don’t think NPUs are ready to be marketed so heavily, but they’ve been around for a while and do get used.

They’re basically a rebranded tensor processing unit, think a more specialised GPU that’s even more energy efficient at tensor/linear algebra.

It’s mostly used in more technical applications, such as image/audio/video processing, machine learning, or really anything maths heavy. Apple’s M series had NPUs, and are an understated reason why they perform extraordinarily well in a lot of scientific applications.

Uses for consumers are not as compelling (especially on laptop/desktop), mostly faster/more efficient subtitle generation, face recognition, and maybe blurring your zoom background.

It’s only available as a -bin, which means it belongs in the bin

On the one hand, the founding fathers were tasked with constructing an entire political system before the fields of game theory and political science even existed to tell them the fragility of their checks and balances.

On the other, they also had very particular opinions about who were even eligible to participate in their new system (read: land owning whites).

People always rave about dash to panel/dock and I just… don’t get it?

Genuinely though, what is the purpose of the taskbar except to potentially you with notifications and take up valuable screen estate?

If I need to switch apps, I’m either opening the overview/mission control, switching workspaces, or the app is already on the screen for multitasking purposes.

Even on macOS I set the dock to autohide, and near exclusively just use swipe gestures, keyboard shortcuts, or spotlight.

But alas, maybe it’s just one of those things that just not for me.

Usual suspects

That tracks for finance though. Many in that industry are the grind hard in your 20s-30s, retire in Thailand in your 40s type.

Eh, kind of both.

When researchers peeked into which areas of the image were being used, it showed that the tiny camera watermark from the Google Streetview car was being used by the model a lot.

That is, the recognition system had learned all the routes every Google Street view car had taken, and was using that in its recognition process.

Not all images have this watermark though, so in the cases the watermark didn’t exist it then resorts to more traditional geoguessr tactics.

Yes.

Spoilers for every Monster Hunter plot:

The monsters in the wild are becoming way more aggressive/crazy, resulting in not only the ecosystem going out of whack, but also endangering human settlements.

You start off as a rookie hunter by culling them, and as you work up the ranks you discover that the source of this imbalance is actually due to a mysterious new monster (not actually that mysterious because it’s usually the cover art monster).

You gradually gain more experience and kill the flagship monster, graduating low rank (the first half of the game), roll credits.

But it turns out the mysterious new monster only invaded the ecosystem because it was escaping from an even bigger threat, the new Elder Dragon of the game, whose awakening is a once in a 1000 year occurrence and is causing even more mayhem in the ecosystem.

You work up the ranks again, and slay the Elder Dragon, graduating high rank (second half of game), credits roll for second time.

Rinse and repeat for the G rank DLC/expansion, where you also get some new areas.

Canonically everything is done for the ecosystem. Gameplay wise there is significant dissonance as you genocide multiple species just for a 1% drop to upgrade your corpse dress.

Vaporeon was NEVER compatible for breeding with humans at all! Firstly, they are not even in the Human-Like egg group, and most of them are male anyway. Since the 4chan post warped the facts about Vaporeon’s biology, I will now clarify this matter. Hydration only works in the rain, and Water Absorb, which has a more dangerous ability that I’ll elaborate more on soon, doesn’t mean your Vaporeon will turn white after you pull out. I know this because I cleaned sperm bank toilets long ago. Their eel-like skin makes it impossible to grope them too. Also, what the 4chan post failed to mention is that Vaporeon can control water telepathically, meaning it can create Kyogre-like tsunamis at will, and, thanks to moves like Scald, Hydro Pump, Ice Beam, and Hyper Beam, Vaporeon has many more ways to unalive you. It can also learn Detect and Toxic too, so don’t explore that “deep sea cave” for “treasure.” Vaporeon can also force the very same water it can control to enter a person’s orifice until they explode, as well as being able to enter any human orifice, just like the candiru fish, with it eventually reaching any vital organs in the human body and ensuring those organs rupture thanks to its water-based biology. This allows the Vaporeon to exit the newly created corpse easily. Now here is the ghastly truth about Water Absorb: since humans are 65% water, if a Vaporeon was inside a human body, it could absorb the water until the human was nothing more than a withered corpse. Oh, and here’s a fun fact: if a Vaporeon rematerialized while it was inside your urethra, your wiener would instantly explode. As for the moves that Vaporeon can use to make itself horny, the thing is that the rest of Vaporeon’s kin can learn those moves too, with Leafeon, Glaceon, and Umbreon (who has more results on Rule 34 and e621 than Vaporeon) having higher defense stats that would blow Vaporeon out of the water any day of the week. Acid Armor won’t even change that.
