Can you share some thing to read up on this. Most of these claims do sound fantastical. I am not even sure how would one verify that Rigveda is an "unbroken" oral recitation over thousands of years.
Oh and some researchers are putting down the story of "seven sisters"/pleiades to around 100k years ago, back when the 7th star in the constellation was visible
No. And it's not even close.

Rigveda would be around 1500Bce. Even Sumerian cuneiform would be far older at 3000 bce. If you want oldest oral records, some Australian aboriginal stories would be the ones at 8000 bce

Well I genuinely like Teams. Being forced to work on a mix of Zoom & teams in my new work, I have found an appreciation of using M365 connected tools - Outlook,claendar, teams, sharepoint, copilot etc just work very well together for me.
I wonder what happened to the other people who signed on notdivided.

I am assuming they quickly realized that they'd rather be rich hypocrites than less rich principled people

Mostly good battery life. I am on the move a lot and can use a laptop with full day battery for mostly youtube and web dev.

The failure to compete will also make US care makers irrelevant outside of US. They are pretty well out on the way already.
Don't think so. Whales and dolphins seem to have a fairly sophisticated language with regional dialects and accents.

A community driven link aggregator site. Think of a cross between Reddit and a forum. It was one of the biggest sites/communities in the 2000s.

> Why did Rust break through, for example, while so many other excellent languages didn't.

Unfortunately, a lot of this is just enterprise sponsorship. Rust had Mozilla's backing. React had FB's backing, while Vue doesn't. And so on.

There are of course, many other reasons as well, but to me this seems to be a critical one.

Re:Show HN: Kitten TTS – 25MB CPU-Only, Open-Source TTS Model on Wednesday August 06, 2025 @05:56AM (#44809971)
Question for the experts here; What would be a SOTA TTS that can run on an average laptop (32GB RAM, 4GB VRAM). I just want to attach a TTS to my SLM output, and get the highest possible voice quality/ human resembleness.
Not sure if you are talking about religion or porn games..

I think the key here is that they didn't have money to do both.

If they had money enough for medicine, then why beg for donation?

I think Tipping of the Cool Worlds youtube channel did a video that we can just use earth for the gravitational lensing and that would be far cheaper

Or just regulation.

China and India are outperforming most of the developed nations in meeting their committed climate goals.

> Is anyone on pace to meet those targets? Canada isn't.

India, one of the poorest countries by per capita GDP met its target before deadline. Better than looking at others, US need to ensure that it meets its own targets. Because its the sole super power and at an international level without US leading sustainability, there is no hope for the rest of us.

Neither should be personal attacks, but here we are
