> The exact meaning behind these arm signs remains unclear. The researchers observed them in various contexts – during mating, hunting, defensive situations, and sometimes spontaneously. This suggests the signs might serve multiple purposes depending on the situation.

Can these signs be an alphabet of some language?

If we show a neural network some examples from the Game of Life and expect it to master the rules of a cellular automaton, then aren't we asking too much from it? In some ways, this is analogous to expecting that if we show the neural network examples from the physical world, it will automatically derive Newton's three laws. Not every person observing the world around him can independently deduce Newton's laws from scratch, no matter how many examples he sees.
Looks interesting. Why it is not popular after these decades?

Nitpick, but the upper angle of triangle displayed is not right, it's 72 degree (1/5 of 360)

In Python 3.8 you will be able to use assignment expressions:

    [a := x*2 for x in (1, 2, 3)]
See PEP 572 -- Assignment Expressions: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0572/

> However, all template languages are inherently crippled: they can never achieve the same expressiveness and power as code. Quite simply, {{# each}}, ng-repeat and databind="foreach" are all poor replacements for something that is native and trivial in JavaScript: a for loop.

On the other hand, when using a template language I can put `foreach` loops and `if` conditions right into the template itself. And when using JSX I need to calculate the result of a `for` loop before the actual template and it looks much more complex and cumbersome.
