    new revTex version available ... what do they mean by this? how do they use XML and latex to XML? would this also be an option for acta futura? "While we appreciate the benefits to authors of preparing manuscripts in TeX, especially for math-intensive manuscripts, it is neither a cost-effective composition tool (for the volume of pages AIP currently produces) nor is it a format that can be used effectively for online publishing."

    Dunno really, they may have some in-house process that converts LaTeX to XML for some reason. Probably they are using some subset of SGML, the standard generalized markup language from which both HTML and XML derive. Don't think is really relevant for Acta Futura, and the rest of the world seems to get along with TeX just fine...

    As mentioned today during coffee .... we could think to link this to source localization

    Not sure by what you mean by source localisation, but this using gzip to discern "biological" from "non-biological" images seems to me *very* tricky... I mean, there's a lot of other factors that may affect compressibility of an image than just mere "regularity" of the pattern, and if they haven't controlled for these, this is just bullsh1t... (For instance did they use the same imaging device to take those images? What about lighting conditions and exposure? etc). The apostle of sometimes surprising uses of compression is prof. Shmidhuber from IDSIA...

    I completely agree with you..... still if you have one instrument on board the spacecraft and your picture compressibility is a noisy indicator of some interesting source .... we could try to perform some probabilistic reasoning
  • Juxi Leitner on 24 Sep 10
     
    I think they (IDSIA-Schmidhuber) are planning on putting something about that also inside the Acta Futura paper...

    Really, you think they'd target such a low impact factor publication? ;-P

    you will all soon be begging to publish in Acta Futura! We will be bigger than Nature.

    Open Journal Systems (OJS) is a journal management and publishing system that has been developed by the Public Knowledge Project through its federally funded efforts to expand and improve access to research.

    seems nice, but would be a lot of work to implement and we already have something operational... It would add the search module and article in html (what about the compatibility with latex...?). For now I think we should focus on the next issue of acta futura !

    We thought about a modular SAT concept in tahe past (looking to the second issue of Acta Futura its already there) .... but never made concrete steps ....

    you know what? if you exclude the title it is not so much bullshit! "Send a robot out into space - allow people to experience space via a virtual environment" I have always loved this idea!

    do you want to add some of that to the humanoids in space acta futura article?
  • Joris _ on 06 Sep 10
     
    I looked at the wiki input on this, but I don't know what I should do. Aren't you writing the article. I definitely think there are some stuffs to pick up on the list and develop further.
  • Juxi Leitner on 06 Sep 10
     
    yeah i do but input is always more than welcome =)

    "I have always loved this idea!" - me too!!!

    Looks really cool! And it's open source :)

    Don't know if you've noticed, but the current version is becoming more and more usable... did you try it already in your collaborative work?
  • Francesco Biscani on 01 Nov 09
     
    We've used it a bit with Juxi and Leopold for the work on the new issue of acta futura, and I think it is quite nice. The problem right now is that only a few people in the team have an account (and I have exhausted my invitations). Maybe you have one or two you are willing to share? :)
