Luckily we’re honkies, so we understand racist Trigonometry…
Here is hoping some ancient wisdom is revealed with this new breakthrough translating Sanskrit.
Thanks BenLurkin for posting the topic (cuz I'm basically lazy), thanks algore for sending a similar link (see below), and thanks Red Badger for the ping.

A grammatical problem which has defeated Sanskrit scholars since the 5th Century BC has finally been solved by an Indian PhD student at the University of Cambridge. Dr Rishi Rajpopat made the breakthrough by decoding a rule taught by “the father of linguistics” Pāṇini.
The discovery makes it possible to 'derive' any Sanskrit word – to construct millions of grammatically correct words including 'mantra’ and 'guru’ – using Pāṇini’s revered 'language machine’ which is widely considered to be one of the great intellectual achievements in history.
Leading Sanskrit experts have described Rajpopat’s discovery as 'revolutionary’ and it could now mean that Pāṇini’s grammar can be taught to computers for the first time.Ancient grammatical puzzle solved after 2,500 years | Cambridge University | 412K subscribers | 1,244 views | December 15, 2022
