Generative AI: Old and New

This repository publishes the Generative AI: Old and New notes at https://generativeai-old-and-new.github.io/. It is maintained by Runlong Liao liaorlmn@gmail.com and uses Quartz as the site generator for math-intensive notes, lecture notes, and technical blogs.

Development

npm install
npm run dev

Useful checks:

npm test
npm run check
npx quartz build

Quartz's upstream documentation is still available in docs/ and can be previewed with:

npm run dev:docs

Authoring Features

• Obsidian-style callouts are available for theorem-like writing, including example, proof, remark, theorem, definition, lemma, proposition, and corollary.
• Numbered theorem-like callouts can be labelled with Pandoc-style ids, for example > [!theorem|Change of Variables] {#thm:change-vars}. Reference them in prose with @thm:change-vars; unresolved references render visibly and print a build warning.
• Numbered callouts use module-aware numbering when the page slug starts with a number, for example modules/01-probability-basics renders Theorem 1.1 and Example 1.1. Pages without a numeric slug use page-local numbering such as Theorem 1.
• Markdown images with real captions are normalized into numbered figures. Add labels with ![Caption {#fig:example}](/assets/example.png) and reference them with @fig:example. Placeholder alt text like image stays unnumbered.
• Math is rendered with MathJax and configured for AMS-style equation tags.
• D3-style interactive figures can be inserted with <figure data-interactive-figure="...">. New figures should be exported from quartz/components/scripts/interactive-figures/index.ts, use an .interactive-figure-plot element for resize observation, and keep figure-specific styles in quartz/styles/notes/figures/.

Deployment

The published site URL is:

https://generativeai-old-and-new.github.io/

Quartz uses this as configuration.baseUrl: "generativeai-old-and-new.github.io", without https:// and without a trailing slash.

• RSS and sitemap are enabled for this domain.
• Plugin.CustomOgImages() is still disabled until generated OG images can use local fonts.
• Configure analytics only if the published site should track visits.
