  • Once upon a time print shops would only accept files in Quark Xpress format. Eventually, they came to accept InDesign documents too. They have licenses for the software and workflows and toolchains set up to integrate those files into their existing prepress and press systems.

    LaTeX is purely for academic markup for postscript printing. VivaDesigner and its kind? Only niche and hobby layout and print.

    That said, I only share in PDF now, so I use other software for the layout phases and don’t care that it isn’t portable to other shops.





  • Makes sense, as actual AI research is based in applied mathematics and data/signal modelling. And the Chinese education system has trained students in those areas ruthlessly over the past 40 years.

    So combine large population base with education system focused on the core competencies required for AI studies, and you’re going to get a majority of the talent coming from that system.



  • I spent multiple years learning a skillset which put me into an employment position. Of those jobs I had as an employee 20 years ago, almost all of them were mostly done by machine learning systems a decade later. But that was OK, because I kept on learning and moving ahead of the trend, leaving the learned,boring stuff to automation while I learned new things to give my company a competitive advantage.

    I don’t think I could ever work a career where the job I was hired for was my employment until I left.
