What I really liked about The Acolyte is that it showed how evil the Jedi really are behind their holier-than-thou propaganda. Whoever governs really should implement a R&D program to eradicate the midi-chlorian infestation and rid the

There are many, many products to address this, like Mozilla's defunct Send, or the excellent but not self-hostable Wormhole.app. You will need to describe what is novel with Berb and why we should use it over other solutions, and no, u

I have all my cameras set to UTC, but I live in London so it’s at most off by one hour. The great advantage of UTC is you don’t have to deal with the abomination that is daylight saving time.

This anti-AI talk is a coping mechanism, but completely unproductive. People don't like the possible or likely consequences of AI that delivers even 10% of its boosters' outlandish promises, and instead of planning how to organize

There is a continuity with British law as it existed before Independence. In a similar vein, Israeli law incorporates Ottomon law, and France applies some German law in Alsace-Lorraine (which was annexed by Germany 1870-1914), even really f

The Celts were far from primitive barbarians. In fact, the Romans adopted many technological innovations from the (Celtic) La Tène material culture in what is now Switzerland. This includes the gladius and spatha swords, the Montefortino he

My Lai was only addressed after dogged investigators like Sy Hersh made it impossible to keep covering up. Compare this with the US during the Philippines War in the 19th century, an exceedingly dirty colonial conflict with no meaningful pr

That's too easy. The US, British and Israelis routinely whitewash their war crimes. The Russians don't even pretend to follow the rules of war. In comparison, the French put a general in the dock when his soldiers in the Ivory Coa

Yes, but their refusal to open up the ANE to third-party models negates that. You can get (or will be able to very soon) a Strix Halo Ryzen AI Max+ 395 able to access 96GB of unified RAM (on a 128GB system) for well under half what you&#x27
