anserin··on Please don't force dark mode
> the dark mode people are wrong

What is that supposed to mean? Some people find it more pleasant to read on a dark background (e.g. because of photophobia), some prefer it for aesthetic reasons (e.g. for a site about space exploration), how is that ‘wrong’?

anserin··on I prefer rST to Markdown
In LaTeX you also clearly separate structure and typesetting: you don't write \noindent\textbf{Introduction}\nobreak\medskip or whatever, but simply \section{Introduction}

Macros are also pretty easy to define \newcommand\important[1]{\textcolor{red}{#1}}

And of course it has first-class Unicode support

I didn't know about math classes, thank you for the reference

The issue I have with delimiters is that there is no option for "big", but only for "140%" or whatever, making it harder to be consistent Someone created an issue on this on GitHub if I remember correctly

And automatically chosen sizes are often too large

anserin··on Typst: An easy to learn alternative for LaTex
The main problem I have with Typst compared with LaTeX is that it doesn't handle basic fine typographic features, such as the different types of spacing in mathematical mode (mathop, mathbin, mathrel, etc.) or the size of delimiters (big, bigg, etc.)
anserin··on OpenAI releases GPT For All (GPT-4o)
4o does not stand for ‘for all’:

> GPT-4o (“o” for “omni”) is our most advanced model. It is multimodal (accepting text or image inputs and outputting text), and it has the same high intelligence as GPT-4 Turbo but is much more efficient—it generates text 2x faster and is 50% cheaper. [1]

anserin··on Show HN: Obfuscation Tool for Mixed Boolean Arithmetic Expressions
Since you're not increasing the number of variables, it seems to me that the problem of finding the initial Boolean formula (or an even simpler version of it) is fairly straightforward. Have you done any tests along these lines?
