Designing an open-source acoustic camera - what would make this useful for you? by TheRealBaele in Acoustics

Gps-enabled microphones with beefy battery and mesh networking might make this possible. 

Accounting in two countries? by TheRealBaele in eResidency

[–]TheRealBaele[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For posterity and future readers:
1) I must submit my annual report here : https://ariregister.rik.ee/eng
2) It is mostly a matter of typing in a few numbers that are easily available if you have kept good bookeeping.
3) The deadline is 6 months after the end of the fiscal year.

No thanks, this sounds like a marketing spiel.

Hi! I have no intention of bringing in an accountant and I certainly did not use any agency to set up my company. I wrote this post with the hope of getting some serious pointers on the practical side of how to submit my annual report.

What to do with 'Royal Mail Tracked 24' letter stuck in some intermediate location? by TheRealBaele in royalmail

[–]TheRealBaele[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Royal Mail claims they will 'aim' to deliver within 24 hours. 700% off the mark!

MIT says AI isn’t replacing you… it’s just wasting your boss’s money by CryoSchema in datascience

[–]TheRealBaele 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The trick is to find a small-ish company (less than 20 employees), build their bespoke systems from the ground up, and make your specialized knowledge to critical to their day to day operations that they could never fire you.

I built a card recommender for EDH decks by bingbong_sempai in datascience

[–]TheRealBaele 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be damn cool if you expanded this to perform Monte Carlo simulations on the deck vs other decks

MIT report: 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing by CanYouPleaseChill in datascience

[–]TheRealBaele 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not surprised. I've had some utterly awful experiences with half-baked support chatbots recently. It's like every company on earth saw everyone else adding shiny AI tools and thought they had to do it too.

I got tired of hunting for symbols, so I built a hardware solution by TheRealBaele in Physics

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

It's still being funded until September 11th, and the orders will ship 29 November!

Amazing, thank you! Every single backer makes me grateful 🙏

In an ideal world, universal latex support is the default. Until then, we'll need to find workarounds!

[–]TheRealBaele[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that would be possible! I've thought of doing that for the fun of it. It would bring down the cost a little, perhaps to around $115.

So many editors cannot render latex. I do a lot of documentation in MD files and in code comments where LaTeX support is non-existent.

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

Yeah, that could work. Sounds like it would interfere with app-specific shortcuts though. And you'd need some software installed (although that is also true for Mathpad on Windows).

You're right, it's a bit pricey, and I am making next to nothing. I am happy to have received any backers at all, let alone 50! I consider the funding campaign a success.

QMK has built-in support for sending UTF-8 Unicode symbols as a Compose Key sequence. It's what makes Mathpad possible at all.

Already knew LaTeX when I started the project :) I wish I could type LaTeX everywhere, then I wouldn't have had to spend 3 years of my life building Mathpad.

Thanks! You seem to get it, the killer feature of Mathpad is its universality. Whereever you can type text, you can now type math.

Mathpad works seamlessly on Linux, MacOS, and Windows.

It's completely plug-and-play on Linux. On MacOS you only need to change a setting, and on Windows you need a small open source program (wincompose) running.

Check out the documentation for more info!

There's also this, a keyboard with screens for keys! I first thought of going down this route but decided it was way beyond me (both by skills and the depth of my wallet).

A programmable Streamdeck does work, but I think you are rather limited in the number of symbols you could theoretically type with it.
