#WATCH | Delhi | On Marathi language row, Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) Vice-Chancellor Prof Santishree Dhulipudi Pandit says, "I would go with mother tongue first because mother tongue is the most important. The other two languages should be your market language. Wherever you stay, learn the local language and your career language... This should be left to individual citizens. All languages of India are good... In multilingualism, number is not important... Language should not be an instrument of hatred or superiority. It should rather be communication. I encourage everyone to learn every language of India, which has such a vast literature and wealth. Though Indian literature is written in different languages, we are one and the same..." (21.07)

Here's my conversation with Edward Gibson (Ted Gibson, Language Lab MIT), a linguist and psychologist at MIT, heading the MIT Language Lab. We talk all about the human language: syntax, grammar, structure, theories of language, evolution of language, how it reflects culture, and of course LLMs, both their amazing power and their limitations. It's here on X in full, and is up on YouTube, Spotify, and everywhere else. Links in comment.

AI + robotics research is starting to pick up steam. We can now instruct Spot using natural language using Language-guided Skill Coordination (LSC). A user provides a natural language instruction: "Bring me the chocolates box, cereal box, and pill bottle, and put them on the bedroom table" and the robot navigates to the location of the target objects and places them on the room table. Current versions of Spot rely on a fixed-set vocabulary that cannot generalize to diverse instructions. In this demo, the researchers presented a method that uses large language models to receive a free-form natural language instruction for object rearrangement, which it then executes. It combines: -A voice-to-text model that processes the instructions into text -An LLM that converts natural language instruction to call a library of skills -A perception module that provides ground truth locations and visual object detection And what your left with is a glimpse into what our future will hold: robots executing tasks from human voice prompts.

Amit Shah : I appeal to all parents of India. Talk to your children in your mother tongue, irrespective of which language is spoken at schools. If you want your children to learn and respect the traditions,values, history, literature and scripture of your state or region, converse with them in your mother tongue. And the opposition accuses the BJP of Hindi Imposition.

VIDEO | Delhi: Reacting to the Supreme Court hearing on the three-language formula in CBSE schools, petitioner’s advocate G. Priyadarshini says, "Technically, the question that was raised is that students can choose from 23 languages. But the point is: do we have the expertise for that? The court has asked the government for clarification because English is listed as a foreign language in the document. So, they wanted clarification on whether English will be considered a native or foreign language, because treating it otherwise is very colonial in principle. The second clarification the court sought was on the standard in which the third language will be implemented. The third clarification was about students currently pursuing a third language."

Most C Programmers don't have a clue as to how the CPU works. Here is a lecture from my course on the C Language that introduces how to visualise the CPU as a C (or general software) Programmer.... More Details are at: Being able to model the behaviour of CPU provides a solid base to reason about your code. The summary is - - The CPU is a state machine which maintains it's states in registers. - It has busses to memory for requesting data/instruction read/writes. - Interrupts to attend to events. I discuss this and more in my course on the C Language.

We don’t talk about this enough. Dear kids from village schools who had to learn English through reading books as their English teacher taught English in vernacular. It is normal to lack confidence or be uncomfortable with having to speak the language …get yourself a friend who is willing to help you speak the language daily.

So it seems like Hindi was pushed in parts of North India as this “modern” or elite language, something tied to status and upper-class identity. The person in this video shares how Hindi made her to feel embarassed to speak her own mother tongue, Gadwali, a North Indian language. Meanwhile, Tamilians have always held onto Tamil with pride. And the Dravidian movement didn’t just protect the language, it also made space for English, giving non-Hindi speakers a fair shot in education and jobs. #Dravidam #DravidianVision #StopHindiImposition Credit: _fyonil

If not in Maharashtra, where would the Marathi language be - in Pakistan, Bangladesh, or Nepal?... If people do a movement for any language, Ashish Shelar compares them to terrorists of Pahalgam, it's wrong, and it shows the BJP's mindset."

VIDEO | Delhi: Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, at an event, says, “For nearly 26 years, I have been discharging responsibilities in constitutional positions. In July 2000, when I became the Advocate General of a state, and thereafter as a High Court judge, then Chief Justice, and later in the Supreme Court, the predominant use of language in these roles has been English...What happens as a result is that, despite having an emotional connection with your mother tongue, the language that is in your blood, your environment, your first language, you often do not get the opportunity to use it. Especially in social or public programmes, where you may wish to express yourself, you remain somewhat deprived of using your own language. First of all, I would like to thank Dr Vikas Singh for giving me this opportunity, and I have also resolved, while seeking your forgiveness, that I will speak in Hindi." (Full video available on
