I think most people can. Or do you mean without biting into it?

If this is the case, they have to publish the polling data that led them to believe it. Otherwise there's no reason to give them the benefit of the doubt.

But it's not just the first few that take much longer to build and get more expensive, it's all of them. Every recent nuclear project that I'm aware of had these issues, even in countries that keep building them.

Eaten baguettes? Hon hon hon

I don't think that's what we're talking about? As an example, if I ask an LLM for good spots to get Bratwurst and it recommends places in New York, it's fairly useless to me as a European.

How so? For pretty much any application in the EU, EU-centric results are obviously much better?

If I were a maintainer in that position I’d be barring the doors too. It’s not a driver for some esoteric realtek wireless card or something.

This effectively kills R4L. If they can't include Rust Interfaces for important subsystems, each driver written in Rust that uses these subsystems has to separately track all the Subsystem Interfaces, leading to lots of extra work for no benefit.

If this is the approach Linux takes, they should just cancel R4L completely.

This creates a lot of extra work for no benefit, as every driver that needs DMA would have to include their own copy of the DMA stuff.

In the coat? I think that's a woman

Nah, there's a bunch of people (even on Lemmy) that recommend Arch or Arch-derived distributions to newbies. Many mention they haven't used any other distro themselves.

Looks like Riker and Picard, tho I haven't watched a lot of Star Trek

The shape of their container!

 

I'm really interested in trying to get more information about Void, and one angle I haven't read much about is this: does the amount of people sacrificed, and their strength, influence the power of the resultant godhand member?

There definitely seems to be some kind of correlation between sacrifices and power, since Slan states in chapter 82: "It's ironic though. The stronger his life force and the greater his anguish, the more they become precious bread for the new life of darkness". From this we can at least deduct that a strong sacrifice makes the new member stronger than a weak sacrifice.

Now the question is: shouldn't this mean that Void is much, much more powerful than Griffith currently is? After all, he sacrificed not just a band of mercenaries (who have some very strong members, albeit only few due to the year before), but an entire kingdom. I do think the average sacrifice was much weaker for Void (as they were most likely not warriors, but intellectuals), though it's difficult to say since we know very little about his eclipse. But nonetheless I definitely think there is some correlation here.

This of course leads to some interesting possibilities for what Griffith is currently up to. Is he planning to somehow ascend further by making another, much bigger sacrifice? Do the godhand members have a hierarchy which he is trying to climb (almost certainly)? Could he be trying to surpass the Idea of Evil itself?

I'm re-reading the manga right now. During the Eclipse, we see the brand placed on a number of hawks, each in a different place (link to the panel):

  • Casca gets it on the left side of her chest, roughly over her heart

  • Guts, of course, has it on his neck

  • Judeau gets his on the palm of his left hand

  • Pippin has it on his forearm

  • Corkus gets his on his forehead (just like the bodies below the tower of rebirth)

I can make an argument for each of them to have gotten it on whatever they most rely on, except for Guts, I can't make a concrete argument why it's his neck.

But what I'm really interested in is this: can we learn anything about the bodies from Gaiserics kingdom from this? It might be that the population of his city wasn't made up of fighters and physical people at the time it was sacrificed, but of thinkers, or at least people who rely more on wit and cunning than on strength (positive or negative). This would make sense considering the technological and social advancements they seem to have made.

What do you guys think?

 

Everyone has something they can't stop themselves from nerding out over - but often it's hard to find people to talk to about it. So go ahead, share your interests, and tell us about them!
