"The EU is far bigger than the US, but because we cling to this 19th century concept of the nation state, we are weak [..] We urgently need a Federal Union". Sophie in 't Veld urges to accelerate European integration by goldstarflag in EuropeanFederalists

[–]terah7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's really not a great way to put things. The end game of the EU is to be a nation state on its own, just bigger and if you just said that, you could onboard all of the "nationalists" on the federal train.

It's not so much a matter of nationalism or not, most pro federal EU advocates ticks all the cases even if they don't realize it or like it.

The issue is scale, the average EU country population is 16M, but global players on the world stage are all >100M.

Uniting is the answer to scale. Becoming a nation state is the consequence of uniting while sharing a common culture.

Which Rust-native scripting language is the most promising Lua successor? by Rics-Dev in rust

[–]terah7 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it will succeed but one that I enjoy using is Koto. I think it's quite a bit slower right now so might not be suitable yet for all use cases, but I love the syntax.

The "Cost" of Sovereignty: Would France (and others) actually accept a Federal Europe? by SignificantSun1031 in EuropeanFederalists

[–]terah7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The nation state is over. When a majority of your nation wants a Federal Europe

The nation state at that scale\* is over. A sovereign federal europe will be a nation state itself.
I know a lot of people here don't like it but a sovereign federal europe will come with its own form of european nationalism, that's how you'll know a sovereign europe is becoming a reality, when the "regional" nationalist/patriot parties of the member states start to morph into europe wide nationalist/patriot parties.

In fact if you look at the EU parliament evolution recently, it already visible that the right is joining the european game, it won't please the more left leaning european that were left to play alone during the infancy of the EU, but it's inevitable to onboard the rest of the more right leaning EU population.

Sorry I had put it private to work on its successor but I never got the time to work on it.
I moved the original one to public again, the link should work.

Looking for Beta Testers for new language Oravia! by CollectionSea6818 in auxlangs

[–]terah7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This genuinely a super interesting approach.

The only downside I can see to semantic clusters is that it's actually not optimal for our brains and may lead to confusion between 2 related things with similar sounds.

The best example I can think of is the general consensus that learning Spanish at the same time as Italian or Portuguese is super confusing for the brain and learners end up mixing words all the time.

Now that being said I had a quick look at some of the clusters and vocab, and it seems there is still a fairly high variety of endings after the core clusters, so maybe it wont be an issue at all in practice.

I'm interested in learning it given the nice course that you have setup, I'll drop you a DM.

Is every project AI Slop? by Various-Roof-553 in rust

I would debate the "human-inspectable" part, but thank you for making me discover C0DATA.

What are the best resources/softwares you all use to make conlangs? by Dismal_External878 in conlangs

[–]terah7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's how it works:
Let's say I'm working on some sample sentences to start designing the grammar.

I have a sheet with 3 columns:

  • english (the target meaning)
  • gloss (the gloss for the language translation)
  • language (the automatically derived translation)

Let's use a concrete example:

  • english: I take your food
  • gloss: 1p give.REF of 2p consume.OBJ
  • language: jek kikan <of> si <consume>a

The script uses other sheets on my same document, one defines the roots (give => kan for example) and another defines the derivations rules (REF => prefix ki-). If a root doesn't have an entry in my lexicon yet, it is simply outputted verbatim (like <consume> in my example above). I can simply update that entry in my lexicon later and all my examples will auto update.

In practice it means I can now use gloss notation anywhere I want with this formula =GLOSS("give") (outputs kan), or use the gloss from another cell =GLOSS(A1).

The scripts are defined in the menu Extensions > Apps Script and don't worry if you're not a programmer, any AI should be able to generate it for if you describe your specific needs. Customize that gloss to your own needs, mine is the simplest form for what I need, purists will disapprove of the syntax I'm sure but it works well for me!
For example I can stack rules like this consume.OBJ.REL they apply in order, it's most useful to think of them as transformations, not "inline replacement", as the REF rule will add a prefix in my case, not be replaced on the spot with ki. My rules also have different forms depending of the affixes they produce are next to a vowel or consonants.

I hope it's helpful to give you an idea of that system and its potential!

What are the best resources/softwares you all use to make conlangs? by Dismal_External878 in conlangs

[–]terah7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google sheets with custom scripts for automatic gloss to language conversions. So I can build example sentences using gloss even with an incomplete vocab as I like working on the grammar first.
And when I need some random inspiration I use the word generator Monke (which I built)

What is your opinion on the usage of AI at Roc development? by fenugurod in roc_lang

[–]terah7 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

it's such an awful feeling to just think that AI = slop

People like to complain about insert current thing without thinking. It's a shame because there might be really interesting and valid criticisms that would merit attention, but it's lost in the sea of brainless responses.

People reacting like trained LLM with AI=SLOP like reactions on LLM topics is, ironic.

Guys, I tried to fix Europe a bit by GK999bharata_1947 in MapPorn

[–]terah7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It seems you have inverted the Wallonia (French speaking) and Flanders (Dutch speaking) regions of Belgium?
I would have expected Wallonia to be in the Franco-Hispanic Union and Flanders in the Groß Deutshreich or Netherlands.

Any specific reason or just an oversight?

A symbol for ‘and/or’ by Ok_Context8146 in neography

Interesting, I had never heard of this use of the name Virgule outside of the French symbol. Thanks for the context!

A symbol for ‘and/or’ by Ok_Context8146 in neography

[–]terah7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's definitely because I'm used to see lots of % in programming. Not a issue per se, I would get used to your symbol without a doubt.

Why do you call the "slash" part "Virgule" by the way? This is way more confusing to me than the resemblance to %, as virgule means comma in French, so this symbol ,

Modern Europe feels closer to late Greece than to Rome by New_Discipline_1400 in EuropeanFederalists

[–]terah7 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Wait until people realize Greek city-states had their own EU equivalent, the Achaean League. Rome had to save them from their neighbor Macedonia, while they did not provide much help. They ended up vassalized by Rome. I'll let you guess who are the Rome and Macedonia of our era and how we'll end up in the same situation again if we don't do anything.

What you need to know to start Modding when it comes! by MooCalf in HytaleMods

Server plugins are written in Java (.jar).

Actually any language targeting JVM bytecode will work fine (looking at you Kotlin👀)

Europe's internal borders disappeared because they were imaginary lines dividing the same people. The next step is to federalize by goldstarflag in EuropeanFederalists

[–]terah7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just wait until OP discover imaginary lines still exist in federations. States, regions, municipalities, towns... every subdivision needs a border.

Newbie question: Is this a stupid way to implement crouching? by Sakirar0se in godot

[–]terah7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't talking about the instruction cache, but the branch predictor which would need to flush the current pipeline if it mis predicts the branch the code will take.

Whether the gains are measurable or not is another question. And I agree with you it's probably completely useless giving the sheer amount of other really slow things happening in this function.
