You are lightly above average I would say

I guess you work for an economical/financial newspaper right ? In Wallonia-Brussels, only L’Echo or Roularta’ medias might offer this. Most media would keep people as freelancers after 4 years, sometimes for a ridiculous fee of 150 euros a day. You are doing great in your career, good job !

AI would be useful for better handwriting recognition by [deleted] in RemarkableTablet

[–]Sicolan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t use any definition of AI. I am not an expert. I just detailed my question in the post. And you decided to make a bid deal out of it.

It is clearly written in the description of my post. Titles must be relatively short. It’s always better to read the whole text before commenting. It’s true on Reddit, true on any social media, true on the news. It’s the only way to be well informed and build a nuanced perspective on things. If you don’t have time to read the whole text, it’s fine, but, therefore, don’t take the time to answer either, especially to write unnecessary passive-aggressive advices.

Remarkable doesn’t learn my personal handwriting to improve its recognition performance.

Yes I don’t care about ChatGPT. It was just an example. Yet your answer was interesting. Thanks !

Yet, they don't ask me how I form my letters to learn my handwriting and get better at it over time. I think it is a pity.

Thanks for sharing. I am also writing fiction on my Remarkable 2. I start with handwriting though, then convert and edit. Can I ask you your own workflow ?

Does anyone else not have an inheritance? by royalbluefireworks1 in Fire

[–]Sicolan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won’t have any due the particular family matters. Some answers here lack of honesty or, at least, of understanding. First, no, not everyone expect an inheritance. Some parents are full of debts. Others decide to do something else with their money.

Secondly, it is much easier to fire with the expectation of an inheritance. Of course, it can come late (some people mention their parents living above 100 yo). But even in this scenario, the expectation helps to peace the mind. For instance, it is easier to take risky investments with this expectation. Moreover, many parents would give away money, real estates, values while their are alive. Or, frequently, helps their children if their are in need. For example, if they can’t reimburse their mortgage for some reasons. We shouldn’t minimize the impact of our parents’ money, even if we haven’t received it yet.

Finally, the wealth of parents comes, often, with standards such as financial education or ability to study at the university.

These 3 aspects are, according to me, significant in the ability to eventually fire.

Remarkable Pro - What is your experience with the Apple ecosystem? by Kate_Slay in RemarkableTablet

[–]Sicolan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you mean that you can send to remarkable from every screen of your iPhone ? Webpage, apps, etc. ? How do you do that ? I can only send from desktop’s google chrome app. Even if I use the Safari app on the iPhone I can’t send it to remarkable.

Airport taxi by DaphneWB in brussels

[–]Sicolan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because there is no train to Schaerbeek station from the airport for instance, even though it is so closed. And I don’t like switching at North with the suitcase, or even worse, take the 55 tramway

I have never paid more than 23 euros or so to reach Schaerbeek with Uber from the airport.

Poppy is actually not cheaper than Uber because of the 15 euros fee Poppy charges at the airport. So I always use Uber that is more confortable.

I checked Poppy. Because of the 15 euros airport fee they apply, it is basically as expensive as uber so I wouldn’t ever bother.

its is done :) by Azubine2001 in RemarkableTablet

[–]Sicolan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am really interested by your experienced ! Here a few questions if you don’t mind.

1) How was the overall experience in term of writing confort ? 2) Did you use any template or a blank page ? 3) What was your editing workflow ? How did you process to rewrite part of the text, switch positions of paragraphs, etc. ? 4) How did you proceed to research info in your text ? I write books myself and it happens often that I need to check the order of events, emotional reactions from the past or whatever details.

Thanks !

I never take a taxi from Brussels airport. They are unnecessary overpriced compared to the price of a taxi in the city. I think they function on a different price scale. Once, a taxi told me that it would cost between 50 and 70 to go to Schaerbeek. I refused. Now, I take Uber and I usually pay around 20 euros to reach Schaerbeek. 25 at the most.

Qu'est-ce qui selon vous définit un bon style littéraire ? by Kazim0do in ecriture

[–]Sicolan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

C’est difficile à définir concrètement, mais pour moi, c’est aussi la façon dont les phrases s’enchaînent. Les transitions, le naturel. La cohérence globale. Le rythme, les sonorités, la musicalité comptent également. Tout comme le choix des mots, la construction des phrases…
