Yep, that too.

Well, there are some people who have an interest in exaggerating uncertainty and inconsistency in the biblical text.

Many diasporic Jewish communities of the ancient world were not familiar enough with Hebrew and required the Septuagint (Greek), or the Targum (several Aramaic translations). However, there were rabbis in the first and second centuries CE discussing the correct intonation and punctuation of the text for homiletical purposes. That suggests that they where both very familiar with the language of the text, and shared a “correct” intonation. Worth noting that these discussions were happening in Hebrew.

It’s true that early 20th Century scholars debated that the ancient Hebrew script was lost to Jews after the Babylon exile. We have since found examples of the Ancient Hebrew script and Assyrian script (used in Hebrew from the Babylon time until today) side by side in the same documents.

Your point about translation is right on the money, although some ancient translations do provide additional context about what the original text meant to the people of the day.

You have a lot of misconceptions about Hebrew continuity. Also misunderstanding of when the Bible was written.

Try reading Robert Alter. Very respectable scholar, but also fairly accessible.

There are significant scholars who agree that David was gay. FWIW

There are literally readily available copies of the Hebrew Bible. Complete copies are available which are over 1000 years old, and individual books and fragments going back to the end of the biblical period.

Probably right but I did get my internet shut off by Parámount due to a poorly set up VPN (user error /skill issue).

It was not a big deal - I just had to fill out a web form promising to stop and they turned it on. But it freaked me out. Pretty unexpected, but I guess they still do it sometimes.

You just go clockwise.

Didn’t they run a huge scenario between different LLMs just a few months ago and they kept nuking each other?

Edit: Yep.

King’s study finds AI chose nuclear signalling in 95% of simulated crises

No, it’s possible that if you are sharing a torrent, they might. It’s not illegal to recieve copyright material, just distribute it. In either case, it would be highly unusual for an adult entertainment company to go after individual users. Usually its just movies, TV/streaming shows, or music.

Some states you just have to watch out for age restrictions/verification.

There is absolutely a Technology Connections about this.

NooooOOOOooo, it’s toooooOOOOooo powerful and it’s going to kill us aaaAAAaall.

No dogs were harmed in the making of this meme.

“I read it, but I’m not sure if I finished it.”

“Oh, you don’t recall whether you finished it or not?”

“I recall it perfectly.”

It would not be that hard. There just needs to be a way to federate the change.

1. Authenticate the new account. This could be as simple as an account admin code that is only available when logged in, or authenticated through the old server.

2. Scrape the old account for links and backlinks. Federate changes so that they link to the new account.

3. You might need a workaround for mentions and follows. Those would be spread across other users’ accounts, so probably not fixable.

4. Copy any content that was not already federated to the new host.

If devs wanted to, they would. They don’t want to. I guess you could ask them why.

Wow that’s a lot of Aphex Twin and Taylor Swift

No, it’s still creepy and dumb

I have a really dumb question, but what is a gem?
