While some of the features of LogSeq are great I find it has a major drawback.

The MarkDown files it generates aren't compatible with other similar programs (Obsidian for instance). It adds 2 spaces which makes thins incompatible with others.

This is the major advantage of Obsidian, it is not too much opiniated about how the RAW file should look. Which makes moving form one editor to other pretty easy.

I can see that display math is working with $$LaTexCode$$. But in lie math: $LaTeXCode$ doesn't.

That would be interesting data driven research.

I can say something about the effect I want to achieve with the money: recognition and publicity. So the amount of money should make them on front page of many news papers and such. Now from data it might interesting to get the right amount.

I just want the people who make such achievements to be recognized by younger generation.

I agree, my wording was not perfect.

My point was that such a prize should be backed with more money. Even for the sake of a statement what we consider to be important.

So the emphasize was about the enormous ratio between the two and not about lottery being wrong (Moreover it pays for itself).

I agree with you. I should have made a better choice than lottery. My intention was that the needle which sets the reward for research, long life work pursuing the solution of a problem should move to the right and get those people more.

$3M isn't enough in our days to recognize remarkable work in my opinion. Yes, one of them made a lot of money, but is it true for all the past winners of this prize?

I wonder what people, in 100 years, would say about our era.

One might research, work hard and solve a problem that might change the course of development of a major field and win a recognition by $3M while someone which fills few numbers on a lottery ticket may earn 1-2 folds more.

I wish the system would give this kind of efforts and stories a bigger exposure, recognition and compensation.

Edit: The idea was about the prize amount, not those specific people. It wasn't the best choice, but the idea was that even as a statement, prizes for scientific achievements should be higher so they will be an extreme to all people to recognize and strive for. I guess one could find a better analogy than what I had in mind.

I agree on your analysis. Assuming someone wants to go the path you did, where should one start to read about it? Do you have a blog on your path?

If there's a way to contact you (Sharing similar challenge) I'd be happy.

That's interesting. How far did you get utilizing AI for treating ASD?

Do you know other efforts in that direction?

KaTeX also supports only susbset of the features of MathJaX. Some of them are really important. While speed is great, missing basic features is the worse. I'm happy with GitHub's choice.

Where's the data? It could be indeed interesting.

The only direction Windows should go is being more modular and less features. Speed is probably the only feature all users want.

So make all features modular with advanced user being able to remove and get a lean and mean OS.

We want less, we want speed.

P. S. It is about time to upgrade the File System. It is too slow...

Is there any implementation in Python / Julia / MATLAB?
