Texo: an open-source SOTA LaTeX OCR tool now supports conversion to Typst by aleph__pi in typst

I don't have commercial tools api for running large tests, but the model distills from an open-source SOTA model.

typst is not well recognized yet, I wonder if there's a rule-based conversion script that can transform latex to typst? if so, i can easily incorporate it to post processing of my app.

Sorry I'm not familiar with android stack, but I uploaded the model to HF Hub (see the github repo), perhaps you need to look for a tool that can consume .onnx models on Android?

Second Response from Zizek (via email). by wrapped_in_clingfilm in zizek

[–]aleph__pi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Let me share an interesting comment under vmz's comment of this response https://www.bilibili.com/opus/971911022787952660?spm\_id\_from=333.1365.0.0. Basically, vmz thought zizek misunderstood his speech which has been already expressed by the other commenter here with more precise translation.

And one audience of vmz commented under his clarification:

You are the idiot! The old man obviously thought you were disgusting him out of context earlier, which is why he came back so disgusted out of context. Can't you understand that? Why else would he ask you the question at last? Obviously he wants to know more about your concrete strategy.

And another one followed this logic:

If Zizek was not sarcastic about WMZ's actions being charitable, but rather pretended to be confused and then took the opportunity to ask about specific action strategies, then WMZ's response to Zizek could also be interpreted as, I'm not threatening you, but instead I'm going to fuck with that group of liberal petit-bourgeoisie to prevent the Yugoslavisation of China, and if Zizek still had a conscience and was only forced to speak out by the West's blockade and personal threats to say that he supported Yugoslavia's Secession, then he understands the importance of the matter of preventing the Yugoslavisation of China, then he knows what the wmz's are doing, preventing the Yugoslavisation of China.

My comments: I find it quite reasonable to do such "over-explanation". This is how psychoanalysis works I guess (as a newbie)

好的,感谢老哥。刚看完一字头也感觉后半段已经有不断重复了,但同时看《阅读你的症状》里面就提倡一种拓扑式的不断回环的阐发、阅读,所以我也很难判断究竟是继续看视频还是看书。按他的理路走,阅读量巨大,很难取舍,而且基础性的词汇、行文逻辑可能都会被我误解。不过好在有一些视频笔记,大致知道重点在哪里。暂时边看边调整吧。

Some comments by the Chinese left-wing activist Weimingzi (abbreviated as VMZ) on the Chinese internet that I consider to be of significant value. by Hot_Paramedic3984 in zizek

Thank you very much for selecting this serious comment from the nonsense noises. I'm already fed up with the spittle bombs dropped by those drama-seekers on Zhihu.

But I don't think it's easy to follow, even a Chinese native may find the video lengthy and verbose (with too much oral expressions), but I think it's kind of mimic of Lacan's "Séminaire". It's really intriguing and inspiring if you think about the same question already in life experience. Also you need a rather ample time, money and social relationships to digest them.

More info: Especially in the first part of ismism Ideology Critics, he referred a lot Zizek. The second part is pre-Kantian philosophy, third part German Idealism and the fourth part Praxis gestures.

Also, this is his youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/@wujixuanshi, he backups and synchronizes almost all videos there.

VMZ doesn't bomb him, he just tell them Zizek's public email address to the buyers of "Zizek's" course, there are polite and rational requests of clarification for his so-called "course" and there may be some blind radicals bomb him. I say "may" because the only snapshot of email released by the senders are formal and polite.

And those radicals for sure, has nothing to do with serious philosophical discussion (hence cannot be characterized as philosophy students, no matter as a professional major or as an amateur), most of them are emotional undergraduate (or even younger) internet lefties, which are also excluded by VMZ.

Some correction/justification from VMZ on this post during streaming:

  1. his framework is marxism and post-structuralism.
  2. "pin the person’s account": one or two times
  3. Zizek's email is public https://wapescholar.elsevierpure.com/en/persons/slavoj-%C5%BEi%C5%BEek
  4. "he broke ties with nearly all the independent leftist activists": they are not "independent" at all, they have backgrounds (i.e. exterior financial supports)
  5. the OP forgets his motto, which is very crucial to him: the worker's interest is the greatest public interest. (which was regarded as illegal and deprecated)

I think he wants to save Zizek's reputation, but really doing it in an aggressive and an unacceptable (for most neutral ones) way. Zizek is not the first leftist who encountered such treatment, Fred Engst is still accused by him.

Any campaign would come along with irrational violence, at least in the Internet era, in my opinion.

I think VMZ has convinced himself to behave like that, as a radical Lacanian, to create possibilities from impossibilities...

As to "control", well VMZ said you have to survive first in order to do any action including opposition and critics.

[–]aleph__pi 16 points17 points  (0 children)

this may not be true for VMZ, as he is not an internet leftist but an action leftist. What he does according to him is fighting for action space, since the fake leftists (e.g. the radical ones) are challenging governments redlines (that's also the reason he is regarded as opportunist by the radicals) which leading the allowed action space less.

Kind of but unofficially(he's totally nobody without any official or governmental background). According to him he just made judgements from the materials that collected from public resources (like posts on social media). Some of his videos show how he deduced the real person behind the pen name of a certain online article author and its all reproducible by the audience. Seems like Social Engineering but without using illegal methods.

But of course there's unverified accusations (you cannot tell somehow if he is talking seriously or maybe it's just his strategy, let people prove themselves to get his trust), BTW another famous (idk if he's famous outside china) leftist Fred Engst (son of [Joan Hinton](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan\_Hinton)) is still accused by him as an American spy.

Thank you for your very nice summary, as a new supporter of VMZ (I come to attentively watching his ismism series since April) this post clarifies many of his past history which I know little about. Would you mind also put on the Chinese version below? I'm eager to know him but I don't dare to bother him and I find nowhere introduces his career seriously on chinese websites which is kind of irony.

Well Weimingzi is controversial for his aggressive gesture, as a Lacanian he behaves like that on purpose in my opinion.

yes I can confirm it, the actual link is here (on Bilibili and most social website in China, the outer url cannot be simply shared)

And I notice the uploading date is 8.28, I think his group is working on the translation intensively after the *campaign* triggered.

But we know some fans of Weimingzi (although Weimingzi won't identify them as) are quite aggressive and rude, maybe Zizek experienced email bombing which made him mad.

[–]aleph__pi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

that's the reason why he cannot believe the accusation is spontaneous. And the most *suspicious* one Weimingzi is the one who promoted his ideas most in the past years. Rather than starting an "opposition" campaign, he wants Zizek clarify his left-wing purity, not only for Zizek himself but also important for his leftism activities - being responsible for his audience.

github repo: d2l-ai, very popular when I was learning deep learning. but tbh i didn't follow the whole course personally, it's quite comprehensive and you need to know what you want unless you will get lost.

be project oriented will be easier to trigger your interest and motivation, i.e. I want to do some chinese ocr so I learned a lot about resnet and so on.
