I spent much of the day tracing out software used by the Fu Ori teams mentioned in https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4357/ad31a1. It is badly organized by my lights (My first full time job was “scientific programmer” for satellite orbit determination in 1970) and I spent much of the last 26 years every day looking at ways to simplify

I am reading the 14 repositories for CASA (Common Astronomy Software Applications) at https://github.com/orgs/casangi/repositories There are only 6942 files and 1814 folders in total and what appears to be many duplicates.

I have

RobWords: Britain’s Celtic languages explained at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mroBpgBw0gU This was very interesting, if a little “jumping around”. You said to learn languages to preserve them, but human memories are not good storage devices. Even if we learn to recognize, we are mostly not very good speakers or teachers. Not with 8.1 Billion humans to coordinate with,

Emily, Reading a paper, “The Languages of the World” and thought of you Languages of the World by Radoslaw Wojtowicz at http://languagesindanger.eu/book-of-knowledge/languages-of-the-world/ He is speaking about languages being lost and I was thinking that you are talking to native groups and cultures that might be dying out. He mentions the Tobian language of Palau, where
