   Very interesting approach and perhaps a good step towards transliteration and translation of cuneiform tablets. Code and links for paper at https://github.com/TAU-VAILab/ProtoSnap/tree/main

   Thanks. Yes copying Unicode strings is a common practice and I use it for some of the scripts I am writing about. I am busy with a write-up that spans almost all known scripts, for some scripts macros work better for me as I can type \LE{18

   Thanks for the links. I found it interesting that the site was programmed using Elm; was there any particular reason for this? Also a comment on the fonts. Although I understand it is easier to combine the fonts to include a Latin script, I

   A very well written article. Of interest also is the story of the Mahoubian collection, see http://mahboubiancollection.com/life-and-works/art-robbery-i... its confiscation in New York and following trials.

   I reached 70 this year (still hacking...). I have seen a lot of changes in my life time, technical, economic and geopolitical. Is hard to predict the future. A common underlying pattern of change has been that income disparities will grow,

    I find them useful in summarizing State of the Art to get me going in a new topic, but then again so is Wikipedia. A useful side angle, if you using LaTeX, you can cut-and-paste references into ChatGPT and can turn them into Bibtex format w

    I think we need to wait and see. So far is speculation by commenters, as per the link you posted. From a technical point of view IMHO just some geofencing is necessary in order not to change the user experience too drastically for RedNote C

    For the first time in history, US and Chinese can communicate directly with each other using the Red Note app, despite the language barrier. I think this is a great social experiment and if it continuous for sometime it will be interesting

    For a developer capital costs are the main factor, as operational and maintenance costs are passed to the tenant. With glass technology improving, the solar radiation component onto the HVAC system is now not much different from a tradition

    Nice collection but very US-centric. Is there a plan to extend it to other countries? Thinking tourists, historians and the like.

    Just randomly checked the financials of one publisher of textbooks (Pearson) profits up 30%. So how did the judge assess the $30mil damages and who are the publishers that they would share it with? Assuming of course that they can get dolla
