Claude repeats man twice like Fagles, despite that not being in the Greek. Using driven and wandering is a weird repetition rather than just using "made to wander" which is a more …

>driven far journeys" which to me seems barely grammatical "Tell me the man" and "of many turnings" sound far, far worse, not to mention the egregious em-dash. Obviously there's no…

Yes and if a human translator produced this work, it would be viewed as near plagiarism of Lattimore and Fagles. Compare this to Wilson. Wilson had surely read Lattimore and Fagles…

They didn't say they wanted a timeless translation.

You think Anthropic didn't train on some of the most famous translations of the Odyssey? Really?

https://theclaudyssey.com/read/book-01.html#n1 The first line is a crappy mishmash of Lattimore and Fagles. Lattimore: >Tell me, Muse, of the man of many ways, who was driven far j…

Like what? Can you give me an example?

They also had slaves.

But you're making out that indigenous people are part of this "first nature" rather than the "second nature", while industrial civilisation is strictly "second nature" which is fra…

The personal accounts which are the data for this article are in fact lived experiences. You can read them in their own words.

Did those people have the right to leave or do what they wanted? https://www.jstor.org/stable/482790?seq=1 Read this paper and the contemporary accounts and tell me that's not slav…

Of course, but that's no different than the changes brought on by urbanization or climate change due to carbon emissions.

There's accounts of Europeans encountering cities in the Amazon, people didn't take them seriously since they disappeared in the intervening time.

Indigenous people aren't any more or less of the ecology than anyone else, unless you believe in blood and soil. Humans are part of the ecology, being indigenous has nothing to do …

The Iroquois had slaves, they weren't hyperegalitarian.

>commercial nuclear generation is incompatible with a rapidly warming planet due to cooling demands Well it's good that Germans chose coal over nuclear!

I live in France, and the nuclear power is working perfectly fine. France has about half the carbon emissions of Germany per capita entirely because of German neuroses about nuclea…

That kind of fatalism could apply to literally any idiotic policy. The German government knew what they were doing when they made that choice.

They could have done all this without dismantling nuclear power and emitting more carbon than they otherwise would have.

Imagine how much better carbon emissions would be in Germany if they hadn't dismantled nuclear! https://app.electricitymaps.com/map/zone/FR/live/fifteen_min... Anyone is free to co…

Could someone explain this to me as someone who's never touched async Rust? What kind of useful patterns would this allow for?

But there is inconsistent use of the digamma, in some sections it's not used!

Why not prove it though?

What tools?
