For the record, you do not need to convince me that #Hamas and Hamas supporters have bad intentions. I already know that.

You need to convince me that the government of #Israel has _good_ intentions.

in reply to Jürgen Hubert

After Oct 7, the Israelis stopped listening to anyone on the subject of Hamas.

I don't need convincing that Israel has behaved abominably. There's a bit of Genesis 4: The Lord said, “What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground.

We would like to get past the Hamas death cult and get on to the Israeli genocide - but the Israelis stopped caring on Oct 7. Hamas oppresses the Palestinians, too.

#quote
“ #Socrates said, “The misuse of language induces evil in the soul.” He wasn’t talking about grammar. To misuse language is to use it the way politicians and advertisers do, for profit, without taking responsibility for what the words mean. Language used as a means to get power or make money goes wrong: it lies. Language used as an end in itself, to sing a poem or tell a story, goes right, goes towards the truth. A writer is a person who cares what words mean, what they say, how they say it. Writers know words are their way towards truth and freedom, and so they use them with care, with thought, with fear, with delight. By using words well they strengthen their souls. Story-tellers and poets spend their lives learning that skill and art of using words well. And their words make the souls of their readers stronger, brighter, deeper.”
~ Ursula K. Le Guin

grammar(n.)

late 14c., "Latin grammar, rules of Latin," from Old French gramaire "grammar; learning," especially Latin and philology, also "(magic) incantation, spells,


mumbo-jumbo" (12c., Modern French grammaire), an "irregular semi-popular adoption" [OED, 2nd ed. 1989] of Latin grammatica "grammar, philology," perhaps via an unrecorded Medieval Latin form *grammaria.

The classical Latin word is from Greek grammatike (tekhnē) "(art) of letters," referring both to philology and to literature in the broadest sense, fem. of grammatikos (adj.) "pertaining to or versed in letters or learning," from gramma "letter" (see -gram). An Old English gloss of it was stæfcræft (see staff (n.)).

A much broader word in Latin and Greek; restriction of the meaning to "systematic account of the rules and usages of language" is a post-classical development.

Until 16c. limited to Latin; in reference to English usage by late 16c., thence "rules of a language to which speakers and writers must conform" (1580s). The meaning "a treatise on grammar" is from 1520s.

For the "magic" sense, compare gramary. The evolution is characteristic of the Dark Ages: "learning in general, knowledge peculiar to the learned classes," which included astrology and magic; hence the secondary meaning of "occult knowledge" (late 15c. in English), which evolved in Scottish into glamour (q.v.).

A grammar-school (late 14c.) originally was a school for learning Latin, which was begun by memorizing the grammar. In U.S. (1842) the term was put to use in the graded system for a school between primary and secondary where English grammar is one of the subjects taught.

The word is attested earlier in surnames (late 12c.) such as Robertus Gramaticus, Richard le Gramarie, whence the modern surname Grammer.

I watch anime cuz I like mature animation that doesn't rely on crude jokes or existentialism to draw in a crowd older than 15.

I've got nothing against stuff like Rick and Morty, KotH, or Archer, but it does get tiring.
(although KotH is definitely the least guilty of this trend)

Ho sempre apprezzato atletə in grado di competere in più eventi del proprio sport.
La combinata sugli sci (nordica con fondo e salto, alpina con discesa e slalom), il triathlon (nuoto, ciclismo, corsa), l'eptathlon e il decathlon dell'atletica, in qualche modo anche i grandi tour del ciclismo con tappe molto diverse tra loro...

In un mondo in cui bisogna essere iper-specializzati per avere successo, queste discipline ci ricordano che saper fare (almeno) bene più cose non è un difetto, anzi!

Had those. Such a dangerous toy. Plenty of close calls, but worst we did was stick one in the aluminum siding of a kid's house.

All those years of listening to Kurzweil talk about the Singularity, and I never thought it would manifest itself in the form of machine-reprocessed junk drowning out human-created content. It’s not that the machines are getting smarter, not at all, but the humans are making themselves dumber by becoming dependent on output of algorithms that cannot be prevented from making mistakes at high speed and that are optimized to present their errors with increasing verisimilitude, but still wrong.


“We are now witnessing a frightening attack on history — an ongoing effort to rewrite, and to whitewash, the complicated story of the United States of America.

“In recent months, many organizations dedicated to exhibiting, protecting, documenting, and archiving the multidimensional narratives of our country’s history have faced threats to their funding, and to their independence.”

An Unfinished Atlas consists of essays by authors of color, each of whom has been asked to select a place — intimately known or not; famous or minor; historical or contemporary— and to write this place into the record of the continent we now call North America.

The Latest Projects from Cornell’s ECE 4760/5730


A photo of an RPi and a note about the first lecture.

ECE 4760/5730 is the Digital Systems Design Using Microcontrollers course at Cornell University taught by [Hunter Adams]. The list of projects for spring this year includes forty write-ups — if you haven’t got time to read the whole lot you can pick a random project between 1 and 40 with: shuf -i 1-40 -n 1 and let the cards fall where they may. Or if you’re made of time you could spend a few days watching the full playlist of 119 projects, embedded below.

We won’t pick favorites from this semester’s list of projects, but having skimmed through the forty reports we can tell you that the creativity and acumen of the students really shines through. If the name [Hunter Adams] looks familiar that might be because we’ve featured his work here on Hackaday before. Earlier this year we saw his Love Letter To Embedded Systems.

While on the subject, [Hunter] also wanted us to know that he has updated his lectures, which are here: Raspberry Pi Pico Lectures 2025. Particularly these have expanded to include a bunch of Pico W content (making Bluetooth servers, connecting to WiFi, UDP communication, etc.), and some fun lower-level stuff (the RP2040 boot sequence, how to write a bootloader), and some interesting algorithms (FFT’s, physics modeling, etc.).

Israel is behaving exactly like the USA, bombing anyone they dislike. In fact, this has been the policy of the USA since its very beginning.
