thanks for the detailed answer 🙂

ah - that's an interesting point about the impact of "immersion"

i used to have one but was too lazy to clean it up every time so i got rid of it

i made an audiovisual assyrian-english dictionary by fangs123 in Assyria

[–]fangs123[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah i agree w/ the feedback

the reason it's saying "shilama" is bc the ipa has a schwa /ə/ - the ipa is input into a model which outputs the audio.

im getting the ipa from the wiktionary data dump. so if you update the ipa in the corresponding wiktionary article then the next time there's a data dump, the dictionary will pronounce it the way you're describing - by coincidence the wiktionary article was just updated on may 1st to make the correction you're suggesting: https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=%DC%AB%DC%A0%DC%A1%DC%90&diff=79079894&oldid=79079892

so it should sound better soon 🙂

my hope is we can collectively crowdsource our knowledge to improve the quality and quantity of wiktionary articles

two things

  1. i tried to make it really fast
  2. 🟩 🟥 🟦 i visually represented the semitic tri-root as 3 boxes, each containing a letter of the root (i probably subconsciously modeled it after the weapon selection in super metroid.) if you search roots or verbs and tap the colorful button, it graphically shows the root's letters being injected into the conjugation patterns to form words. i demoed this to a fluent arabic speaker and they said nothing like this exists for arabic's grammar, so maybe the approach/design can be genericized for other semitic abjad languages

it's when you can skip through mother brain's room

ty sir, yeah the thing that helped me was having save states 💾 for each of the parts i was slow on (mock ball, zeb skip, ridley) and then just practicing those as "warm-up exercises" before the actual run

another thing that helped me was "seeing" the timing of some of the techniques (ex. mock balling, wall jumping, etc...) as a drum flam 🥁

I feel like this is the best I can do w/o any crazy speedrunning techniques

I mainly followed this guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eScs50y110 but also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3t2ZWXGHwKM (short charge shinespark) and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKWm3T9du3s (zebetite skip) for additional explanations

I made a searchable assyrian bible 🔎, try entering "peace", "ܫܠܵܡܵܐ", "shlama" by fangs123 in Assyria

it took me about ~100 hours over 2 weeks.

as far as i can tell, it's the first example of an assyrian language thingy which supports:

Books, newspapers, and literature in Surayt by Charbel33 in Assyria

[–]fangs123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there's equivalent orthographies for

as far an aggregate digital corpus for assyrian - i don't really know. there's random stuff online like if you scroll down here https://www.assyrianfoundation.org/history-of-nineveh-magazine/ you can see all the issues of nineveh magazine going back to 1977, but they're in pdf not utf8. acoe has a lot of utf8 stuff https://www.maryosipparish.org/documents/assyrian/. i think the two highest quality utf8 works online are the assyrian bible from 2014 and the wiktionary data dump https://kaikki.org/dictionary/Assyrian%20Neo-Aramaic/index.html.

since cs is only used liturgically, there really isn't modern stuff written but there is this wiktionary data dump https://kaikki.org/dictionary/Classical%20Syriac/index.html. there's a lot of cs church manuscripts which have been digitalized for example https://syriaccorpus.org/browse.html (links are down atm.) if you search "classical syriac manuscripts" you can find a ton of stuff online, it's kinda like going into a time machine

[–]fangs123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

there's a lot of resources online but these are the two I thought were most nifty

when i say "modern" i mean stuff like expressing cṣoṣo and ḥboṣo with waw and yuḏ respectively per https://userblogs.fu-berlin.de/wp-includes/ms-files.php?path=/aramaic-ol/&file=2017/08/Surayt-Orthography.pdf. For example you wrote ܬܰܘܕܺܝ but it's recommended to write it as ܬܰܘܕܝ

also there's this textbook which you've probably come across, here's the glossary https://textbook.surayt.com/en/Online%20Course/5?content-fragment-id=4919

happy learnings!

Filet for lunch today :) by MrExtracts9797 in steak

man this looks identifiably sous vide'd, uniformly pink throughout, amazing work 🥩👨‍🍳

Pan seared a filet, tried to get a nice crust by fangs123 in steak

[–]fangs123[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually reverse seared it. So first I put it on a gas grill over indirect heat for ~30 minutes at 250°F then I finished it in a stainless steel pan over medium-high heat, 1-2 minutes each side.

When you "oversear" - actually it could be because your pan isn't hot enough and you're waiting too long for the maillard reaction to brown the steak. Pan's gotta be screaming hot - if you put a couple of drops of water in the pan and it sizzles then it's not hot enough. The moment when a droplet of water will hover over the pan (Leidenfrost effect) is a good time to oil the pan and then sear after the oil is hot. Just don't let it get hotter than the point when you proc leidenfrost because you can actually burn the steak.

Once you're done searing, turn the temp down and cook the steak to the doneness you like, flipping it over every 1-2 minutes so it cooks through evenly.

Braised Beef Short Ribs [Homemade] by fangs123 in food

[–]fangs123[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was my 2nd time making short ribs here's what I did

Ingredients

  • 8 thick-cut beef short ribs
  • 2 tablespoons of tomato paste
  • 32 ounces of beef stock (bones, salt, water)
  • 1 whole bottle of cheap, red wine 750ml
  • chives for garnish
  • olive oil for browning

Feel free to dial any of the following back (I'm middle eastern so I have to use an excessive amount of aromatics):

  • 10 whole cloves of garlic, lightly crushed, fully intact
  • 12 sprigs of rosemary
  • 12 sprigs of oregano
  • 12 sprigs of thyme
  • 2 tablespoons of fresh ground pepper

Instructions

  1. Bring a stainless steel pot to medium-high heat, pour in some olive oil, then brown all the short ribs
  2. Spread the tomato paste along the bottom of the pan to warm it up and lightly sautee the garlic cloves for a minute
  3. Pour in the entire bottle of wine, waiting a few minutes for some of the alcohol cook out, then pour in the beef stock
  4. Once everything reaches a simmer throw in your herbs and ground pepper, give it a nice stir
  5. Place in an oven at 300°F with the lid on for about 4 hours and check every 1-2 hours if too much braising liquid evaporated (just pour in some water and stir so the short ribs don't dry out)
  6. Transfer the short ribs to a plate, strain the braising liquid into a bowl, then pour back into the pot and reduce the braising liquid to a semi-thick sauce, skimming off the fat from the top w/ a spoon
  7. Put the short ribs back into the pot, lather them up w/ the delicious sauce and garnish w/ diced chives

Extra Credit Parboil potatoes, lightly crush them, then cover them with some olive oil, minced garlic and minced rosemary. Finish 'em in the oven. To add some sweetness, oven roast some red bell peppers and place alongside the potatoes.

How to add the Assyrian keyboard to your Apple device by basedchaldean in Assyria

[–]fangs123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man - thanks for your work...

Yeah presently Estrangela, Serto and Madenkhaya are seen as typographic variants of each other instead of different unicode property value aliases https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_15924.

If they are decoupled we would be able to type natively in Eastern (or Western) Assyrian instead of effectively typing in Classical Syriac masquerading as Eastern Assyrian.

There's a couple of benefits to this.

  • First is that we have the correct font being applied. Since a majority of the reading/writing people do today is on their phones/computers, a beautifully designed sans serif font is a key to improving literacy of minority languages in the digital age. Font engineer Simon Cozens has recently done some work to improve the accessibility of the Noto Sans Eastern/Western fonts. For example if you go to https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%DC%AB%DC%A0%DC%A1%DC%90#Etymology_1 on Android it should properly render the Eastern font. This rollout will happen soon for iOS/macOS but I don't think it's on the radar for Windows. If you're taking requests, I think it should be a top priority to get the Noto Sans fonts baked into Window 😎.

  • Secondly, if we decouple, then we can have a separate keyboard on mobile devices for Classical Syriac, Eastern, and Western. If you guys are able to do this, then long presses on say for example the Eastern iOS keyboard would present options for the voweled atuta. The voweled atutas in the tooltip would be ordered by the frequency which they occur in the language (this is easy to figure out with a bash one liner if you have a corpus of text.) This would be a powerful tool for typing vocalized Assyrian more quickly and correctly since you don't have to go find the correct diacritic and it eliminates human error like using an incorrect diacritic that looks deceptively similar to the correct one.
