I'm part of an effort to build a next-generation writing environment. Check out our backstory here.

Back in Venice with a gelato, and life is good.

A day of talking about language, so to bed with this magnificent paragraph from Joyce at the top of his game in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man: "The language in which we are speaking is his before it is mine. How different are the words home, Christ, ale, master, on his.

Someone tell this dude about George Boole introducing his algebra in 1847 as an exercise in pure logic. And in the 1930s Claude Shannon figures out how to apply Boolean logic to electrical circuits. And then ask Seldon if he knows how his phone works.

So I wanted to confirm: you are in fact conflating signs 740 and 700 in section 2.12 of your paper? And if so, on what basis are you doing this?.

I looked in your xlits file, and I don't see you mapping sign 740 ("frilly jar") to sign 700 ("plain jar") there. And you don't say that you are doing this in your paper either.

I hope I have all these details right. So, if I'm understanding correctly, you're conflating sign 740 ("frilly jar") with sign 700 ("plain jar") at the very beginning of your process.

In your xlits file, you map sign 697 so that it becomes a series of three instances of sign 700 [700-700-700]. And sign 700 is a "plain jar."

Your next step is, "The seal Dmd-1 [740] single jar sign matches ana and eliminates other alternatives like ja and la." And when we look at seal Dmd-1 (Seal ID 122.1), we do indeed see a single instance of sign 740 ("frilly jar") on it.

But when I took a look at the actual seal H-764B (Seal ID 1656.1), we see that it is an instance of Sign 697, which comprises three instances of a "plain jar" sign. We don't see sign 740 ("frilly jar") at all on this seal.

"From the dictionary itself, a regex for H-764B [740-740-740] we get a single match ananan, representing aṅanam, which is an accusative of anana.".

"It also represents a variety of nasal sounds including anusvara, which is a post-vocalic nasal sound.

.@yajnadevam I was re-reading your paper and noticed something in section 2.12, where you describe the first step in your decipherment. You begin, "The first sign we decipher is the jar sign [740, "frilly jar"] representing an.

To all boosters of vibe coding, please do read this: "45% of coders say that debugging AI code takes longer than writing the code without AI at all. Only 29% of coders believe that AI tools can solve complex code problems." And AI-created bugs are hard to spot. I'm not doing a.

I put a glucose monitor in my arm a couple of days ago, and can now watch my levels go up and down in real time. Very cool, but also a bit Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.
