Build Process#

How PDF highlights actually flow to the xochitl-baked copy: KOReader’s sdr is not ironed directly onto the PDF. The round-trip is:

1. Highlight in KOReader on device → .sdr/metadata.pdf.lua.
2. make remarkable-pull (or remarkable-sync/merge) reads the sdr, text-searches each highlight against the PDF via pymupdf, writes to sioyek

shared.db.

1. make remarkable reads sioyek state and embed_pdf_annotations bakes the highlights into the PDF copy in xochitl.

Sioyek is a passthrough in the middle — not a second annotation surface you have to think about. The “iron-on” step at make remarkable time depends on sioyek holding the truth.

I’m just spit-balling here, but I think my library now covers all of Undergraduate level math.

Unfortunately, I am feeling the need to purchase the Remarkable Paper Pro as I don’t want to be forking out an additional $500 for 2-3 textbooks (on average) for each of my ~14 or so Graduate Math courses.

The way I see it, at the Undergraduate level you probably need textbooks on the following (in no particular order):

Ancient Origins: Ethiopia and the Legend of Kaldi#

sometimes this man said some weird things.

The Brain is Just a Radiator

Aristotle believed the heart was the center of intelligence and emotion, while the brain was merely a cooling mechanism (a “radiator”) designed to cool the blood.

Women are “Disfigured Men”

Aristotle was intensely sexist, even by ancient standards. He argued that women were “monstrous” or “disfigured” males (an occasional monstrous state) because he believed they were inferior in intelligence and physical capability.

Eels and Insects Spontaneously Generate from Mud

Because he couldn’t find gonads in eels, he concluded they did not reproduce but simply grew out of mud or “earthy guts” (spontaneous generation). He applied this theory to flies, lice, and fireflies too.

Men Have More Teeth Than Women

He claimed men have more teeth than women in humans, sheep, goats, and pigs. Although he was married twice, he never bothered to check by looking in his wives’ mouths.

Objects Stop Moving Because They Get “Tired”

Aristotle didn’t understand friction. He believed that moving objects only continued moving while they were being acted upon, and once they stopped, it was because they had run out of “force” and become tired.

Heavier Objects Fall Faster

He believed that the speed of a falling object was directly proportional to its weight, a mistake that went unquestioned for nearly 2,000 years.

Goats Breathe Through Their Ears

He claimed that goats breathe through their ears, which he believed was proven by the shape of their ears.

Mad Dog Bites Only Affect Animals, Not Humans

In his History of Animals, he suggested that a person bitten by a mad dog will not go mad, but any other animal will.

Children Should Be Conceived in a North Wind

He claimed that children would be healthier and better-looking if they were conceived when the wind was blowing from the north.

Bees Have Eight Legs

He incorrectly described the number of legs on a bee.

Introduction#

You type “translate lorem ipsum” into Google’s search bar and press Enter. Roughly 200 milliseconds later, ten blue links and a translation widget appear on your screen. In that fifth of a second, your keystrokes triggered a cascade of protocols, each handing off to the next like relay runners passing a baton across the planet. A name was resolved, a connection negotiated, encryption established, a request dispatched, routed through a dozen machines, answered, and rendered — all before you could blink twice.

I’d just like to scribble out my outrage on this topic.

In Australia, there is a new(ish) Open Banking Project which via the CDR (Consumer Data Right), is intended to empower customers.

Instead, what has happened is that the little guy is once again being fucked.

The approved Third Party Vendors must be ACCC compliant which costs lots of money. This cost is then paid by giants such as Basiq, Adatree, Skript.

these are my notes on some courses I have taken at UNSW / have not taken.

primarily this page serves as a place for me to jot down the prescribed texts for the different courses:

Mambo’s upline cut#

• plant hard with right-foot
• footwork around into inside lane
• sprint straight.

AJ’s 7 cut#

• swing disc to centre
• make (fake) hard clearing cut for the disc back onto the open side
• when throwing lane is optimal, run around defender, and run the length of the 7 shape to be thrown an inside flick break.
