  • First off I don’t study ancient Mesopotamia, I just have actual historical training so I know how to look at a piece of evidence and be able to see how it can be interpreted in multiple different ways.

    Second, machine learning is not a cure all solution. The time that it will take to get a machine learning algorithm to even be half of a human translator can do is just wasteful of our time. Machine learning will produce a ton of errors that will have to be dug through by those some limited translators. Meaning they won’t be doing what we actually need them to do for prolonged periods of time.

    Third, even if (and that’s a big if) it could figure out translations for things we haven’t been able to, we would still have a hard time verifying it’s accuracy till translate it ourselves. We are dealing with a fully extinct language here, we had to decipher what it actually means. We are dealing with fragmentary artifacts too, something which no AI model could accurately fill in the blanks of.

    Fourth, cool call me names because I specialized into a different field. I’m going to leave the actual translation efforts to the experts in ancient Mesopotamia, you should too.

    Ea Nasir is a really interesting case study of how one piece of information can be interpreted in two completely different ways.

    One interpretation, and the one most people know, is that the authors of the clay tablets complaints are legitimate.

    The other is that Ea Nasir kept them as a record of people attempting to harm his reputation. So he could remember who to avoid doing business with in the future.

    It’s a scam, by being called a phone it implies that it can call people or receive calls.

    It also could become quite detrimental to Linux phones in general if the idea that some of these phones can’t call reaches the public eye. Because you just know that the stigma against Linux phones will be that they can’t call anyone. Which like how bad Linux used to be for general users has left it with the stigma that it’s just not functional.







  • My problem with Linux, that is getting better, is that it has largely catered to power users. Simply put most users either aren’t, or don’t care to be, tech savvy. And that is fine actually, because that means they have other things they are interested in and care more for.

    Things like SteamOS are catering more towards casual users with a bunch of built in compatibility features that means games work like they do on windows. Making it easier for casual users to make the jump. Now rather than having to know you need 57 compatibility layers (This is exaggeration for effect, yes I have to point this out because I have had some people get pissy at me for doing this) to get things to work like they should they are all neatly bundled together and you have Valve’s promise that they will work here.

    Because of the SteamDeck many people were introduced into the world of Linux. Without many of them even realizing that they were using it at first. Add on the fact that it just works for the games people actually want to play and you have a good shot at tackling Windows.

    I’m sorry to power users but you just don’t decide what the market cares about really. It’s the casual users, there is just so many more of them that they get to decide what operating systems are supported.
