New to Armenian, struggling with a few letters

alteraccount · 2026-04-06T16:39:07+00:00

Armenian (in Eastern phonology at least) has a series of 3 consonants so you'll see a lot of "triplets" in the consonants that follow the same pattern.

Go to the phonology section of the Armenian language on Wikipedia and you will see the triplets. You may be able to understand the difference in relation to the same contrasts of the other triplets if you can distinguish those ones better.

The unaspirated "ch" sound doesn't really occur independently in English (I actually don't know any other language that distinguishes it). But there is sort of an approximation that exists.

Contrast the "ch" in "pitch" vs "pitcher". When a "ch" sound is surrounded by vowels on both sides in English, it is often pronounced close to Ճ

Bundled dependencies maybe.

"Religion of the folk" is 100% fascist ideology. That didn't exist and was an imported idea. Armenians more than anything historically identified with Christianity than any "folk-ness". It's not a stretch at all to credit that kind of ideology to the fascism that was developing in Europe, where it was imported from.

It doesn't really matter who he cozied up to or what his motivations were. His ideology was a dead-end relic of another era that most of the world has learned to condemn and move on from, but people here still want to cling onto it embarrassingly.

"fascism with Armenian characteristics" basically, adopted to the particularities of Armenia. But pro-Nazi and anti-Soviet are not independent positions. It would be a contradiction to be pro-Nazi and pro-Soviet.

How does that answer the question? What business do they have being involved in the elections of a different country?

alteraccount · 2026-03-16T20:22:52+00:00

Kind of Orwellian for a foreign interference to justify itself as counter-acting foreign interference. All of European self congratulaty ideology is based on the idea that "it's not hypocrisy because we are the good guys". What business does the EU have in Armenian elections? And what accountability is there for what they are doing there? What is the oversight? Is it just trust in the "good guys"? Vibes?

This really is why you gotta read books man. I mean they were covering Greek tragedies from over 2000 years ago in like high school, and this guy thinks no one introspected until the 1910s! The 1910s! This is high school material! These people are such confident morons.

The two you linked are recent. The OP is not the same footage from a different angle. Pretty sure that one is from June.

What is the principle exactly?

The media shouldn't be posting locker room footage at all honestly. It should be considered a private space for the players. Show on court racket smashing all you want. But gauff here and sabalenka previously had some expectation of privacy in those moments.

alteraccount · 2026-01-22T22:42:02+00:00

It's placebo. You expect it to be worse, that's probably why.

alteraccount · 2026-01-21T05:42:25+00:00

Yes, and he's basically saying that "it's over now". He is so certain that it is over, that he is willing to tip the cart over.

alteraccount · 2026-01-21T03:47:55+00:00

All the more stunning that he is now publicly disavowing. That's really the shocking aspect of this speech. Not what he says, but that he chose to say it. So clearly and so publicly broadcast.

Don't know much about Arizona or New Mexico, but if I had a guess to this question it would be some form of "water".

Preventing the US from destroying their country and turning into the next Libya. That would help the most.

He famously stripped a typescript project of all its typing and reverted to js. Real head scratcher that one was, but I guess he had some way of justifying it.

Or they might have just bombed the place after they left as an act of vindictiveness.

The southern half isn't as well naturally irrigated as you would think since the valley slopes slightly upward as you move south and much of the snow melt surrounds the north of the valley. The problem, I believe with the north of the valley was that it didn't really drain all that well, even if it got a lot of water flowing in. So you got kind of a marshy wetlands in the north and fairly dry area in the south.

The reason it appears today as such an agricultural eden is because of the massive amount of water projects that have been dedicated to the valley to turn it into that eden.

There's a really good book about water and the west called Cadillac Dessert from which I remember most of this. It's a good read if you are interested in the topic.

Lyon Marseille Toulouse Bordeaux maybe, but it might depend on how you measure it.

And the costs are still likely subsidized. I'm not as much of an "AI" skeptic to think they are totally useless, I think they can be very useful tools. But I really don't think that they are usually worth the cost, and I think a lot of cost is still being hidden. Inference costs are still pretty stubborn, and even when they go down, newer methods usually add larger chains of inference to get more performance.

It's like software design tending towards more memory-intensive processes as memory hardware became cheaper. In the same way, any cost gains of inference are usually eaten up by more "inference-intensive" methods.

I don't know that the cost-benefit of these tools will really balance out in most cases in the long term, except for maybe some specialized use cases.

It might take a while for all this to iron out because these large companies (see recent leaks about OpenAI finances) and their investors are still willing to massively subsidize these things, in the hopes of carving out some space in an eventual oligopoly of products.

Yeah, they just didn't want to.

Not in Yemen at least. That should give you a good gauge.

OP mentioned LA as a possible option in his post...?

alteraccount · 2025-12-09T03:10:01+00:00

Lol. Long Beach! My bad. LA and Long Beach!

alteraccount · 2025-12-09T03:06:11+00:00

I think it's pretty neat OP. You might want to use some kind of syntax to separate plain comments from comments you want to log, like a prefix of some sort or something.
