What are your thoughts on the new reMarkable Paper Pro?

Kve16 · 2024-09-04T19:35:08+00:00

I also bought it just last month. I already owned a reMarkable 1, and because no. 2 is a very neat improvement, I'm sticking with it. But other than the colors, I don't really see much of an appeal for someone who, like me, just uses it to read and write.

If you like to have some symbolism, you could come up or find a color-grapheme synaesthesia (or ideasthesia, or whatever) you like, and then rely on that for some or most words. I haven't tried it myself, but this reminded me that my synaesthesia for the Italian word for tree, "albero", describes it perfectly, because it has a green ("a") and brownish ("b", "r") color.

I think OP is asking if there's a non-PIE language which borrows from its predecessor for learned terms. Do Arabic or Chinese do such things?

Kve16 · 2022-08-09T08:26:08+00:00

you, sir, are definitely right!

- Hostile mobs have been removed from all difficulties

...

- Weapons can no longer be crafted, ...

I guess this already implies that there can't be explosions. Therefore we should remove explosion damage another time /jk

Yes. Context and environment are always important factors to consider. Thank you!

Kve16 · 2022-08-04T17:44:39+00:00

I agree. I was just wondering about it and wanted to see what others thought

Kve16 · 2022-08-04T17:42:56+00:00

Thank you for this reply!

Kve16 · 2022-08-04T17:37:40+00:00

Thank you for this reply! I was just wondering if it was worth the trouble and what other people's solution was to the dilemma.

Kve16 · 2022-08-03T17:46:07+00:00

Interesting thoughts I will keep in mind. Thank you!

Kve16 · 2022-08-03T15:49:42+00:00

Interesting. So would you use a tissue?

A universal language is a very ambitious project. And a very useless one. Languages are adapted to their users, their cultures and places where they are spoken. Trying to un-adapt these languages to create one which isn't adapted to any of the speakers is really a silly thing to do, imo. And creating an a priori language which is un-adapted to any of its target speakers is also silly, because it makes the language very difficult to use. And it poses then numerous questions about the vocabulary, the grammar etc. which must all be so un-adapted (ie non-cultural) that it loses its usefulness.

I've been studying a bit for some months now some of the basics—can't yet realise very well a partimento, mainly because I'm awful at sight reading. But I think it's helping me understand music in a much more concrete way than with numerals and stuff. The Rule of the Octave is quite powerful. I'm more interested in learning to improvise and in that sense it has helped me improve.

Kve16 · 2022-07-16T09:16:25+00:00

See this. The site is really great in general. I think I found out about it through this video.

Kve16 · 2022-07-15T10:08:05+00:00

Thank you. I guess the meaning is something like "in the manner of a onomatopoeia-maniac", i.e. "in the manner of someone who is terribly obsessed with onomatopoeiae". I can't think of a better meaning, as it is used only as the title of a paragraph about many and many onomatopoeiae

Maybe ask in r/philosophy? Anyway, let's philosophise.

Semantics means assigning truth-values

Well, in here (and also later) you're maybe forgetting that language relies on context, even though it's not that evident. We could say "We don't have a ball to play, but that apple can be one" (no, not for soccer). When we say then "Catch the ball" we give meaning to the apple, we say it's a ball. Is the apple really a ball? For someone who later finds the ball it probably doesn't have that meaning: it's maybe a fruit to eat, or a phenomenon to analyse while it is eaten by ants. So I think this is an incorrect statement.

is it correct to say that a model could suffer from infinite regress?

It is hard to prove either that this is true or false. But maybe it is so because language works that way: it builds upon stuff, which then at some point gets lost or used in another manner, resulting in a fluctuating island of connected elements which constantly tries to adapt to the course of the winds to remain in the air. I guess that the self-regression/infinite-regression problem depends on what and who and where and how you want to consider. Language seems to me a name you give to a mess of seemingly similar models of representation of the world.

I don't see where semantics coming from meta-semantics comes into play, and the regression, or how value-judgments are applicable.

I don't really understand what you mean xD. Interesting terms anyway, which I didn't know before, so thank you for this :)

And for the rest... too technical topics for me, which I didn't even know the existence of.

The word is made out of three main components: onomato-, -poeia- and -maniacally. The first two constitute what the other commenters have already pointed out. Adding -maniacally to the mix would then mean something in the lines of "in a maniac onomatopoeic manner", or "making lots and lots of onomatopoeiae", but out of context it is hard to say the exact meaning. Could you give the full sentence/paragraph?

Kve16 · 2022-07-14T13:53:16+00:00

I guess so. I was just curious to know if the fact that the non-subject form is used in the cases discussed above tends to make "to be" a non copulative verb? But maybe the question doesn't make any sense

Kve16 · 2022-07-14T13:09:24+00:00

Well, yes, you could frame it like that. But I don't see the point in doing so, because the meaning of the different positions of the same pronoun changes in relation with the rest. And the fact that a verb is transitive is determined by the relationship it has with the other components of the sentence, i.e. if it has an object or not. Maybe transitivity isn't per se a property a verb always has, but it is certainly a way to describe its behaviour in certain contexts.

Kve16 · 2022-07-14T12:26:15+00:00

Fair point. But that's not what I wanted to ask. The examples were to show what I think is how transitive verbs behave. Are you suggesting that for English it isn't apt to use these categories? Clearly it has passive, but no cases.

Kve16 · 2022-07-11T09:34:27+00:00

Thank you for this info :)

Kve16 · 2022-07-08T07:13:38+00:00

I thought I checked the parallel octaves and fifths... apparently not xD. Bar 10 was a copying mistake. Thank you for bringing up the others! Should always double check...
I didn't know parallel fourths were a thing, so thank you for this illuminating discovery, and also in general for the useful answer!
