I've always wondered if machine learning would help here - we already have language agnostic embeddings (LaBSE, LASER) - now all we need is a way to pronounce them. Perhaps you could learn one by training an autoencoder that is constrained somehow just like the human vocal chords are

Yeah but one of the BSL2 labs (coronavirus research was being done in BSL2/3 labs, not BSL4) is not. It is a couple of hundred meters down the street https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1D12qtMmmH_qrb5...

I often wonder why so much effort is being put into shoehorning everything into a single language. Wouldn't it make much more sense to use a fully differentiable DSL for machine learning / xla, then call it from whatever host language you use? This approach has worked really well for SQL for the past couple of decades.

This experiment has been done in Rotterdam, the Netherlands in the 90s. It gained a tonne of publicity but it did not end up getting widely adopted. Most homeless people (understandably) feared getting stigmatized if they were spotted sleeping in one. https://museumrotterdam.nl/collectie/item/71471-1-3

I struggled with the accounting concepts until I stumbled on this blogpost from Martin Kleppmann: https://martin.kleppmann.com/2011/03/07/accounting-for-compu.... After that I finally 'got' the accounting graph, and I don't care too much about the medium or the software anymore (its a google sheet in my case).
