Scanning electron microscope #SEM details of a #mite (#Histiostomatidae, #Astigmata, #Acariformes) from rotting #lemonfruits in #Italy (Sorrento, from 2006).

The #copulationopening of this species consists of a forwardly curved half "dome", which seemingly protects the opening hole from being covered by dirt from above. In this Histiostoma sp. it is useless as females reproduce parthenogenetically (#thelytoky).

#Biodiversity has returned to #publicfocus in connection with #globalwarming. However, especially in the context of the actual or feared #extinction of #species. But finding new species, identifying them as new and then #describing them is still not given enough attention, especially not when it comes to awarding #research #funding.

Link to my complete #blogarticle about #Opuntioideae, aspects of its phylogeny with focus on #Maihueniopsis-like species, which branch off more basically in the tree of Opuntioideae. It's also about the #phoretic decomposer mites #Bonomoia #opuntiae and B. sp. on two Opuntia species and the parasite #Dactylopius Zimmermannii (#Coccoidea) on Maihueniopsis.

Initially explorative, then increasingly goal-oriented: that’s the learning process of children as they grow older. #MachineLearning #algorithms show a similar #optimization process. But do humans and algorithms actually learn alike?

The new #blogarticle of the Cluster of Excellence "Machine Learning: New Perspectives for Science" shows intriguing parallels and important differences between human development and machine learning algorithms.

mi sona e toki pona!
30 september 2007

Well, I've now completed my second pass of the Toki Pona lessons and I think I have now cracked the grammar, as well as cementing my knowledge of the vocab. So as I hoped, I have basically succeeded in learning Toki Pona in 2 weeks. That is to say, I know the vocab and the grammar rules - active use will require a lot of reading and translation practice, which is what I plan to do next. I plan to identify some appropriate texts to translate into Toki Pona. I think these texts need to be: short, simple and not too serious..

So what are my impressions of Toki Pona, having learnt the language? I would say it is a mixture of Tok Pisin, Chinese and Hawaiian. The lack of specificity in the vocab is the biggest challenge in using this language; on the other hand, only having 118 words to learn is a big advantage.

There are a couple of points in the grammar that could still give me problems. I had to go over lesson 11 on pi twice (three times in total) before it clicked into place: the pattern is always N pi N A where A qualifies only the second N, and that holds also for examples like tomo pi jan Lisa, if you think about it..

The various ways of saying "and" will also take some getting used to. This phrase from lesson 4 is very hard for me to parse: mi moku li pakala. This makes me wonder whether it might not be a better to simply generalize the use of li.

Constructed Languages
Mar 1, 2017

Testing the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis
Constructed languages have been used to test the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, an early 19th-century theory that the structure of a language determines a native speaker’s perception and categorisation of experience.

The hypothesis holds that language either influences or determines not only how a person’s brain works but how they see the world. To test this, various languages have been created by academics including the simplistic Toki Pona (with only 123 words, which are combined to create more complicated concepts). A more complex language, Laadan, was designed to test the idea that human languages are not adequate for female expression, expressing in words what most languages express in tone and body language, with many ways to express emotion.

Toki Pona

Wasting time (according to my wife) learning about a language practically nobody else speaks, Toki Pona. It consists of about 120 words and sounds fun. This better than doing sudoku but I agree, learning Arabic or Japanese might be more useful. Oh well, we can’t do useful things all the time.

Learn more: Toki Pona in 76 lessons. CC BY 2.5, very cool!

Check out pages 51 & 52 of 53, my guess is that this is all the cheat sheet you need.

«mi musi e kama sona e toki pona» This is going to ruin my iPhone dictionary.
There is of course also the book and website by the author herself. «Toki Pona is a human language I invented in 2001. It was my attempt to understand the meaning of life in 120 words.»
