My brain is absolutely fried.
Today is the last day of coursework submissions for this semester. What a hectic month.
DNN with PyTorch, Brain model parallelisation with MPI, SYCL and OpenMP offloading of percolation models,hand optimizing serial codes for performance.
Two submissions due today. Submitted one and finalising my report for the second one.
Definitely having a pint after this

[1/3] #DANTE2025 Friday starts with “Storytelling with Frank [Mittelbach]”. He admits that it took a while for himself to realize how bad we treated users relying on assisting technology like screen readers! He tries to give a rough overview of this impression by playing screen reader recordings of an untagged document compared to the work the tagging-project did so far. The examples can be found at latex3.github.io/tagging-proje

[1/3] Der Freitag startet mit „Märchenstunde mit Frank [Mittelbach]“. Zuerst mit den Eingeständnis, dass es die Erkenntnis gebraucht hat wahrzunehmen, was wir mit den Dokumenten der letzen Jahrzehnten Personen, die auch #ScreenReader angewiesen sind „angetan haben“.
Er gibt allen, die sich bisher nicht Barrierefreiheit beschäftigt haben einen kleinen Einblick darüber was das bedeutet.

#DANTE2025 is starting at the University of Applied Sciences Darmstadt.

Mr. Lion and me are extremly curious about discussions and expecting a boost concerning tagging and accesibility of #TeXLaTeX.

We already realized yesterday, that there is too little time for all the projects we are working on… but … we are all trying our best.

I will try to sum up the talks below this.

EN in first answer.

Die #DANTE2025 startet an der Hochschule Darmstadt.

Der Löwe und ich sind startklar gespannt auf die Diskussionen. Vermutlich wieder viel zu tagging und Barrierefreiheit.

Gestern beim Vorabendtreff haben wir schon festgestellt, dass alle hier noch viel zu viel Dinge getan haben wollten… aber leider hat der Tag nur 24h … aber wir bleiben dran.

Unter diesem Toot versuche ich wieder etwas die Vorträge zusammenzufassen.

I've been suspecting that something faster and "easier" than #LaTeX (no hard feelings: TeX is enormously old and has lasted really long!) must be possible -- thank you for confirming that.

I get the utility of web-based collaboration, but ... I really really want a desktop GUI because sending each button press across half the world is *so wasteful*, not to mention privacy issues. The only maintained desktop app costs money, looks spartan and seems to use #Electron 🙄

Unicode pictograms to mark progressively rising values:

For Ace Maths I searched for unicode icons to mark progression: show that you’re getting better. Since I found a lot of different options (from simple sparklines to a huge list of animals), I’m collecting them in this article.

Includes a tip for somewhat better, automatic #unicode "image" suppport #LaTeX with plain #pdflatex / #pdftex
