It's one of many words that are pronounced differently in British English than American English.

wow I hadn't thought of those in a while and I also used to love seeing that history and thinking about where the book had been. Thanks!!

can this sense mice?

You're correct, I'm mistaken that Constantine split the empire. That being said I think there are some semantics as far as "co-emperors with regional responsibilities" being in a single polity or separate polities.

I do agree with you that there was no instantaneous Eastern character that sprang up out of nowhere.

Many Western polities have sought the title of the Roman Empire and the legitimacy it endows. Constantine split the empire, and Constantius II did not rule over Rome (or many other parts of the empire). Is it even reasonable to assert it was still the Roman Empire after the fracture?

Is it legitimate for the Eastern Roman Empire to claim the legacy? I think so, and I think they have among the best arguments for it. Conversely it is also legitimate to note the major differences between the two and the fact that discontinuities do exist.

on the contrary it's important for these people to be unencumbered by the technology of today to imagine the future. Imagine thinking in 1900 about flying, or even going to the moon in the context of what existed back then?

I think it would be prudent to disengage democrats from being 'left wing'. There is certainly a progressive wing of the democratic party, but none of those are the people he donated to. After all, this is the Democratic Party that a couple years ago during election season were trying to get George Bush and Dick Cheney to come to Kamala's rally.

He also secretly donated significant amounts of money to republicans (self-admitted), so all-in-all his contributions definitely skew center-right.

he ain't a left winger. right winger cosplaying

what do you mean short term? We aren't even in the short term yet (has the AI revolution truly begun?) and the owners of compute are already disgustingly rich.

Pixel 8 uses a version of stereo imaging but at the pixel level instead of at the full sensor level. It's not fake at the base level, the physics of it allow for depth information to be retrieved this way (compared to most monocular deep depth for example, which does not)

IDK about other manufacturers, but the iPhone Pros have a pretty good measurement app that uses LIDAR, there's some augmented reality apps that use it, and it's also used for autofocus in dark environments. There's plenty of ways to use depth information.

depends on what phone you have but LIDAR sensors are used for more than just faceID

This is a very natural progression of technologies that escape industry/defense to get into the consumer's hand.

there are thousands of varieties of a lot of things though...

Are you trying to psyop us into using Lojban?
