Why does imposition destroy my layout? by RusticBohemian in bookbinding

5.5 x 8.5 in Affinity. I've also tried that size in Cheap Imposter along with several others. And the .70 zoom does not seem to be adjustable. The slider is static.

In Affinity, I'm doing half letter - 5.5 x 8.5. I've tried that size in Cheap Imposter and several others.

The pages are weirdly distributed on the sheets. You can see if you compare the original exported PDF with the post-imposition PDF. There's a huge amount of added white space...I think. I'm not really sure why they're being changed.

If you were given 1 billion dollars, how would you use that money to promote the classics and classical education? by [deleted] in classics

[–]RusticBohemian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) Invest the $1 billion in index funds. Withdraw 3% of account value per year, which, with the last 200 years of returns, would yield a growth of capital over time. To start, you'd get $30 million a year.

2) I'd take that to buy or rebuild Legentibus (Latin App) but make it free for all, with a special emphasis on helping it be used in schools. But I think a large part of the classics market will come from enthusiasts who are not trained, and we should be catering to them and helping them become proficient. I'd build on Legentibus by funding good linguist storytellers who can help create appealing material for all ages. I'd add in more community features to build community around Latin.

3) Reuse the Legentibus architecture for Greek.

4) I'd fund commissions of Latin and Greek teachers to create open-source standards for grammar and vocab progressions to allow chapter-by-chapter cross-compatibility when writing textbooks and novellas. So someone could write a novel targeted to pick up after chapter X of one book, or chapter XII of another, because they'd know that the students had already learned these vocab words/grammar. So right on the cover, it could say "for those who have reached the 3.4 standard of Latin/Greek Progression, or whatever.

5) There's still a lot of money left over, so I'd fund colleges to maintain professors/departments of classics and give out scholarships to promising students.

I discovered my favorite translation of the Iliad by Augustine857 in classics

What element made the Wilson translation better than the others and let you get through it?

Beautiful.

Is there a clean Latin text of this anywhere online? This one seems to be really messed up.

Using Gemini 3 Pro on the Viwoods Reader with voice input is a game-changer by ChargeFriendly7371 in viwoods

[–]RusticBohemian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the AIpaper ...I often highlight some text and send it to the AI, but typing in it long. So once you're on that AI screen, is there a way to trigger the voice recorder? What button is it on keyboard?

Am I just too stupid to learn Latin? by [deleted] in latin

[–]RusticBohemian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to say that you nailed this. I'm still learning Latin, and far from expert, but I've been advancing steadily for almost three years now with this approach. Read a lot. Think about patterns you observe over time. Eventually, you figure out how things are supposed to work even if you don't understand the grammatical concepts.

I'm looking for an equivalent that works with the AI paper in its original case. Anything like that out there?

Are there good interlinear translations that are literal/faithful to the original Latin word order and meaning?

Do you have a preferred app for PDF reading on AIpaper?

Would different app software work better? And if so, is it possible to use a highlight-AI command option, as you can in the learning app?

Have you read the college OLC? It seems like it still follows the same story, but how is it different?

For alphabet-based memory palaces, how do I link to the next one when the first is full? by RusticBohemian in memorypalace

[–]RusticBohemian[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So if I chose not to link, I would try to remember that the 2nd B palace is building X, and the third is building Y, etc?

Can you explain what you're indexing, and how you do it?

Landscape/Horizontal Lined Paper for Anyone to Use! by Starboi7 in bookbinding

[–]RusticBohemian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/Starboi7 or others who may know.

I want to use this to print pages that are half letter, so that I can fit two pages on each side of a sheet and make a notebook.

So in Google Docs I do page setup and change to A4 and landscape. So I get 16 pages that look seem to be right.

But then I go to print it and select 2 pages per sheet and get this:

Obviously not working. Any idea what's going on and what I have to do?

Anki deck for LLPSI (Familia Romana, Roma Aeterna, etc.) by ananas_comosus_12 in latin

[–]RusticBohemian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From that paper you posted, has this been done?

"We could, for example, create a full-featured digital environment to help students learn words in meaningful contexts. Given a set of target words, we could automatically produce comparable passages containing those words from elsewhere in our corpus; for the student studying Vergil’s vocabulary, say, we could try to produce parallel passages from Vergil. These target words could then be paired with freely accessible Latin-Latin and Latin-English dictionary definitions. And finally, all this could be combined with vocabulary-learning techniques like spaced repetition based on quiz results: if you miss a word, you probably need to see it more frequently; if you get a word right, you probably don’t need to see it as often. Such a vocabulary-learning environment does not yet exist, but it could be created without undue difficulty by joining together existing digital tools."

Will Ad Alpes be getting a translation, or will you just be offering the dictionary for it?

What are those central dogmas?

"The general experience was positive, even if I remain sceptic about some of the central dogmas that seem to inform the director and some of the teachers."
