> people are two woke to comment on the fact that this is in Chinese? I think it's more like three woke.

just taking the opportunity to mention the fact that English is my second language, seeing that I'm being downvoted

  You're not being downvoted for the spelling error. You just made a politically charged accusation against the HN community for focusing more on the high-schooler-created-a-self-driving-bicycle than the github-repo-happened-to-be-in-chinese part of a post. This is a legitimately cool project regardless of the origin of its creator and the language they speak.

    it's not a cool project if you are not able to understand it. There are probably Chinese hacker news or something similar and there would be a perfect place for this cool post. Why doesn't hacker news have content in other languages? Is that because those contents are not cool or that people respect the expectation that everything here is in a common language that everyone can understand?

      Well video is the universal language and the first link in the repo's readme is to this video: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1fV411x72a https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1fV411x72a. Within it you can see this guy's neat-o bicycle balancing itself, driving along the road, and avoiding obstacles. The page is also quite readable if you use Chrome's auto-translate feature. In any event, I'm not saying you don't have a point. Maybe posting the translated version would have been a better choice. However, you made your point in an obnoxious way that instantly alienated yourself from potential readers. If votes on hacker news are important to you (and they seem to be), then you should take this as a lesson on how to improve your approach to discussing topics without losing your audience.

        No I don't care about votes, I don't even downvote ever, and rarely upvote tbh. It's just an interesting thing to observe. I've just seeked to the end of the video and agree that it is really cool. It's just there are so many cool things to check out on HN that are often not in my field of expertise which makes them hard enough to parse, and then there is this post that is in a completely different language with a non descriptive title.

  FWIW, I use HN to stay connected with and watch people innovate and problem solve. You don't need to know Chinese to watch the video or peruse the code/fusion360 files. The readme is parsed easily with google translate: >Inside Hardware is the PCB file of the controller, which is based on ESP32, equipped with MPU6050, and connects the driver through CAN bus. >Structure is the body structure design file. The step is exported by Fusion. There may be some bugs. It is recommended to download the Fusion360 project directly and open it in the software: https://a360.co/2TOtZRd https://a360.co/2TOtZRd Edit: Some of the comments in the code seem to be Chinese/unparsable.
