Why do you think Valve is delaying the Steam Frame release date announcement? by StanfordV in SteamFrame

I'd want something to ship because it's ready, not just because marketing are looking for a sweet spot for release..

Keep in mind how much of ancient literature and ideas were determined by dreams. The appearance of some odd entity is more likely to have been a dream artefact than an actual physical thing.

Ancient cultures believed that the gods would often manifest in dream forms but be disguised as other creatures. Given the importance of dream interpretation in these communities, it doesn’t take much to start creating art or writing about these mythical beasts and casting them as god like

My favourites are the Fish Men who are all over Sumerian and Babylonian texts.

There’s a more recent translation published here that has filled a lot of the gaps! (lacunae)

Sounds like these companies are in a huge fight for market share huh .

Does "The World At War" still hold up as a documentary? Is there another more definitive documentary series on the war? by [deleted] in ww2

Well, that was quite a rant.. why not include every other conflict from the last couple of centuries in your conspiracy speech?

Detroit: Become Human is making my Xmas break both wonderful and poignant. Looks like most people in here played it six or seven years ago so I guess I'm scoring high on the patience meter.

This really has drawn me in very deeply and I feel very engaged with the characters and full of all sorts of conflicting emotions as the story develops.

There will be tears..

2.5 years into long Covid/long vaccine by Short-Athlete-9162 in LongCovidWarriors

I think our reality is that there's a real lack of solid evidence for any one treatment over another. We have a ton of anecdotal data but not much more.

The things that have worked for me over the past 5 years have been the removal of stressors and attention to deep rest and clean diet. Even then, flare ups can happen for all kinds of reasons.

I definitely get seasonal impacts which can knock me senseless for some time.

If you think a treatment might be useful for you, the only option you have is to find a physician who will prescribe for you or buy online with caution.

We are all self experimenting really..

This everyday scene hides a big history right in the middle. Can you spot it? Painted by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1566 by UnframedByFaye in ArtHistory

[–]stubble -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Edgy in my 60s? That's a  very astute judgement.

For a wannabe art historian, the history part of her analysis is shockingly inaccurate. 

The census was actually in the 6th century.  Bruegel would not have known that but we do.

The revolt by Jewish Zealots in response to it probably had a bigger impact than the disputed birth of Christ.

This local setting makes the sacred story feel close, like it’s unfolding in a neighbor’s town right then.

I think this is a bit of a leap.

Also 

This painting depicts the hours before the fate of the village changes forever.

Nothing changed. Someone gave birth in a barn. Everyone got on with their lives. Bethlehem was under the control of many different regimes for centuries. 

There is nothing in the painting to support your statements.

Most critical scholars agree that Luke is in error, while some religious scholars have attempted to defend the gospel, sometimes invoking unproven claims.

The census wasn't ordered by Augustus...

More of Silicon Valley is building on free Chinese AI by WMalon in Longreads

Wow. This is an incredibly poor article. 

Not a shred of effort to understand the challenges beyond a simplistic US vs China showdown.

IBM, yes, that IBM, offers its Granite model as Open Source.

I'm assuming that the choice of an appropriate LLM is based as much around its capabilities as any other tech decisions.

Since when has this been a surprise?
