My own pet hypothesis is that it is not just language but our entire culture that creates an O/S for our brain in our early years.

"Restraining world view" seems harsh IMHO. Sounds a little elitist to me. But affecting world-view is possibly correct.

I suspect the plasticity of the brain can overcome some of the things that the original O/S load affects but it seems to require either a big emotional event or real effort by people to undo the initial programming, like being dropped into a new country where you don't know the language but must learn it to survive. We figure it out.

It does beg the question however what are we missing, as a result of our initial programming, that we might want to download an update for. :)

That’s basically because Standard Indonesian has been artificially Europeanicised, or so I hear:

> In both Malaysia and Indonesia, there is a misguided belief that in order for a language to be able to fulfil the functions of a "national language", it must have a "well-developed" system of grammar. Unfortunately, the only type of grammar that the language planners are usually familiar with is the Eurocentric grammar of European languages.Thus, Standard Malay / Indonesian has had a variety of linguistic features artificially grafted onto it that are reminiscent of European languages, including nominal number marking, verbal active and passive prefixes, and others.

>Agglutinative languages, like Finnish or Hungarian, where word order is largely irrelevant and conjugations, not word order, determine meaning.

I'd argue that word order is just as relevant (and indeed constrained by meaning) in Hungarian or Finnish as it is in, say, English, though the details of how each language's syntax works are very different. Also, there are plenty of languages not usually characterized as "agglutinative"(e.g. Russian) in which affixes rather than word order are the primary determinant of the role that a word plays.

"Agglutinative" is really just a way of saying that meaning-bearing morphemes in the language tend to be more closely bound together: where in English, for example, we'd express "in our houses" with 3 words, whereas in Hungarian, these would form a single word "házainkban" (ház[a] "house", -i- plural, -nk "our," -ban "in"). We know they're separate words in English because other stuff can come between them ("in each of our big houses"); not so in Hungarian. (So arguably agglutinativity is more about constrained morpheme order than it is about free word order!)

>Topic/subject languages, like Japanese, where previously defined context can radically alter meaning. "Watashi wa hamburger desu" can mean "I'm a hamburger", "I'll have a hamburger", "If you ask me, it's a hamburger", etc.

Of course context can radically alter meaning in English too; think of the waiter who says "which one of you is the hamburger?" ("Me, I'm the hamburger, and he's the Caesar salad.")

Almost all language classifications exist along a spectrum, or perhaps it'd be better to talk about a high-dimensional space. Different languages rely more or less on different strategies, but there are almost no linguistic features for which analogues can't be found in most languages.
> In the end, the “hard” languages to learn are not those that do what your own language does in a new way. They are the ones that make you constantly pay attention to distinctions in the world that yours blithely passes over.

The srsLTE/srsRAN code is also fairly accessible and well written -- a year or so ago I used it as a reference for demodulating LTE downlink signals (in a python notebook).

Also worth calling out ShareTechnote which is basically the personal notebook of a (brilliantly prolific) telecom engineer (now at Apple): https://www.sharetechnote.com/. It's incredibly comprehensive and well linked -- a much easier reference than paging through hundreds of pages of PDFs.
Sure, you can improve it. But the point is that as you scale, even the naive approach doesn't get any worse.
> All languages are easy to learn if you have to learn them

Learning a language is definitely not easy and claiming that learning different languages is same level of effort is outright ridiculous.

It’s not to say that one language itself is harder or easier compared to another, it’s a matter of it being different from the one you speak already.

> Or all the evidence is baseless speculation that relies on assuming Sapir-Worf

I consistently omit or mixup when writing in English. Something being definite or indefinite is just not a category that I use when thinking about things and it’s existence still makes almost zero sense after more than a decade of practicing languages that have it.
Short answer: No. There is no guarantee that a future HTML spec will include a standard element <red> which will affect yours. For your element to be a legal custom element it must include a hyphen (e.g. <my-red>).

Longer answer: What you did here is a simple CSS selector using a tag matcher. Each tag with the name "red" will be matched and styles applied. If you want some custom script applied when this kind of element is created, attached, destroyed, etc. you must create a class for it and register it to the custom element registry[1]:

window.customElements.define(
"my-red",
class extends HTMLElement {
// ...
},
)

Now you have a custom element. But when people normally speak of web components they are talking about scoped elements, which means styles and idrefs are encapsulated. For that you must attach a shadow DOM[2] to your element:

class MyRed extends HTMLElement {
constructor() {
super();

const shadowRoot = this.attachShadow();
const style = document.createElement("style");
const slot = document.createElement("slot");

style.textContent = ":host { color: red; }"

shadowRoot.append(style, slot);
}
}

How much does the positioning of the phone in the car affect it's antenna effectiveness and directionality. I'm astounded that you can "bury" the phone in a pit beside the gear shift with a pile of metal on top (the dashboard) and it still works.

The engineering me needs to place antennas optimally! Even though burying the phone in a pit and it still works it still irks me and I want to see it in an optimal placement where it is minimally shielded. Why don't car manufacturers have a place for the phone in the roof or something so that it gets optimal antenna placement? Yes it would be unseemly but wouldn't we get much better reception?
That the GDPR introduction required a lot of work is a sign that Google failed to comply with German data protection law in the time before. Google did business in Germany, so would have had to comply. GDPR is, in most aspects, a straight translation of what was necessary to do business in Germany for decades. So why should I trust that Google will comply now when it didn't before?

CNIL (the French DPA) could fine Google because Google failed at something as basic as having a Data Protection Officer in their supposed European headquarters in Ireland. If Google legal fails at a two-line appointment letter and an address entry in the privacy legalese, how should Google's legal review be any better?

As to taking things seriously, take for example youtube. For some time we have now been getting a cookie consent banner, but that was introduced only some time after GDPR coming into effect. And that banner is obviously illegal, because it clearly implements the "I agree" vs. "Customize" dark pattern. So I cannot reject as easily as I can agree. And even if I click customize and select "Off" at "Ad personalization", there is still the sentence below that says "We rely on cookies to remember your settings and other preferences. We also use cookies to [...] deliver, maintain, and improve our services and ads".
Also, there is the plain lie that "You can change your browser settings to reject some or all cookies.". You can block cookies, after which youtube just won't work in Firefox. I suppose in Chrome it just uses some other hidden identifier.

So please don't try to tell me that things are taken seriously when I just need 30s to find blatant violations and gray areas. Name any other Google site and I would wager I could easily show you more obvious violations like that. I can accept that an engineer won't know or care about stuff like that, but claiming you have never used youtube and never seen what I described seems odd to me. I can accept you wanting to defend your employer, but everyone always says something like "it is fine in my project". That only serves to increase my mistrust in any claims by Google employees when things like the above are clearly not OK.

This is almost certainly Hopi, which has been somewhat controversial ever since Whorf made a bunch of astounding claims about its expression of time. There’s a whole Wikipedia page about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hopi_time_controversy

[EDIT: Whoops, didn’t realise MaxBarraclough already mentioned this, sorry…]
Ok so maybe instead of "strictly better" I should have just said better. There is research on this. For example, this study from the University of Chicago:

"UChicago Consortium researchers found that the predictive power of GPAs is consistent across high schools—something that did not hold true for test scores. At many high schools, they discovered no connection between students’ ACT scores and eventual college graduation. The authors were also surprised to find that, at some high schools, students with the highest ACT scores were less likely to succeed in college."

Students can already submit other standardized test scores like AP to improve their application. I think those tests a) contain material that is worth the time study, and b) measure something clear (i.e. a student tried to learn chemistry and was able to do so, as measured by this exam. And can use the skills learned for this exam in the future.)

And you think if the US were completely isolationist that China wouldn't assist North Korea in "unifying" the peninsula?

I love the look of that output in the first screenshot... will be giving this a go :)

I'm not so keen on the way that parameterised tests are defined though. Having a separate `each(...)` call per kwarg, which are then expected to have the same number of elements, feels a bit off. If I'd guessed how that would work before reading the docs I would have expected that form to test the product of those arg value sets against each other.
Ah okay, so it is not a imperial feet/mile, but a nautic feet/mile. Okay, that makes sense then.
Of course, it does also mean more people are able to use the road (or canal). So it’s not a complete loss, even if it doesn’t have the intended effect.

The fact your comment is upvoted says all you need to know about the parcipatants in this thread.

China merely isn't just engaged in industrial espionage because it works to not duplicate effort. They steal to undermine the effort of the people that made it possible to begin with. In many cases ruining the companies that made the original innovation. This isnt crying and whinging for no reason it's unethical and wrong. This isnt a two way street where chinese innovations are helping our world. Almost everything the Chinese steal all while burning through natural resources and at alarming pace and injecting the most harmful substances into the environment. And be honest they are simply doing this to saberrattle the US and create propoganda to legitmaze an oppressive state. So, yes it's not only unfair, it's evil. And I'm not happy for China.

>All languages are easy to learn if you have to learn them.

I'm pretty sure if you were to hold a gun against my head until I get fluent in french you'll leave me alone far earlier than if I had to learn an Asian language with Chinese characters.

Learning Chinese characters is just busywork, that's all there is to it. It might be easy but it will still take forever.
I don't totally follow. The key is baked into each device, so if you sold a mix of devices where some had the old key and some the new, revocation of the old key would brick the new devices with that old key.
IMO: the UI is pretty good the way it is, I was even thinking that the last time I used it (last fall, I don't use it all the time which shows just how intuitive it is to people who don't use it often.)
If you say that languages are how people slice up the world, and this makes different languages harder or easier to learn, you're committing to some form of Sapir-Worf, however mild. "I have the English way of slicing up the world and it's hard to adjust to the Japanese way of slicing up the world".

An alternate explanation is, as I argued, that the differences between human languages are superficial and the underlying (and more interesting) concept of language is the same for everyone. If that's true, the differences between languages are minutia.
I thought this was interesting. I’ve noticed the same pattern in Austin, although I’ve only lived here a few months so I can’t compare to pre-pandemic. But locally the traffic has been very light in the mornings and very heavy in the afternoons.

Telemetry is just data. It can help you make good decisions, but can't prevent you from making bad ones.

The general lesson in your examples isn't that telemetry isn't useful, but that telemetry gives an incomplete picture.

I’m pretty sure there’s no such thing. My understanding is that Fula, with ~24 noun classes, is widely agreed to have the most number of genders. A language with several hundred genders really would be unlearnable!

Well, Comic Sans is like the Hawaiian shirt of fonts—they both feel like the weekend, relaxation, fun. The opposite of boring, grey, work.

There is a correlation between playful and expertise in many fields. I keep noticing that the greats are often surprisingly light-hearted and playful, with an ever-present sense of humour. A twinkle in the eye belongs to both joyous playfulness and inspired genius, and (relaxed) creativity is a part of both.
On top of that, low-walkability car-intensive cities strongly correlate with increased street crime and mental illness (depression, social isolation).

In various countries sprawls, shopping districts and office-only areas are prohibited by building regulations in order to create mixed areas where people can live/shop/work and build local communities.

"Knowing that an asset will remain scarce, its issuance predictable, and that I can store it securely at extremely low cost, is very valuable."

You can achieve this any number of ways and it has nothing to do with currency or money. FYI Gold, which you can buy a million different ways.

But since prices are crazy volatile, and it could be worth $0 tomorrow, it can't be used as currency, and it makes a terrible store of value.

For every 'practical reason' to use a crypto, there are already many other better solutions.

The only 'real reason' people buy them is because they want to make money flipping it and that's it.
Barring some exponential increase in the usability of FPGA tools, I think the mainstreaming of these technologies will forever remain just around the corner.

More coarse-grained architectures like GPUs or reduced-scope architectures with a less intense cognitive load like the programmable IOs found in Raspberry Pi Picos or some Texas Instruments MCUs seem like a much more feasible solution for the vast majority of potential FPGA use-cases a tinkerer would run into.

Yes, the choice it makes won't be based on ethics, that will ultimately come down to programmers and how well they can train the ai systems to recognize and choose the option with the least human injury. Although programmers will of course try to train it to do that. So maybe the ethical choice is actually further up the chain where people make the decisions on whether or not the AI is good enough.

I don't think I that will be accepted by regulators/society until it can be demonstrated that AV's are undeniably safer-- not just as good as human drivers, much much better. Right now it's newsworthy whenever a Tesla auto pilot drives into a barrier. We'll need to get to a point where not only does that not happen, but also that it becomes newsworthy every time an AV saves a life-- swerving out if the way faster than any human reflexes could have reacted to avoid an accident, or a child chasing a ball into the street, etc.
