1 /Tg/ On… Stuff 1 /tg/ on… Stuff (2nd edition) Wherein it is demonstrated that /tg/ is scholars. The elegan/tg/ents have proven themselves capable of talking about just about anything, mostly because they are a hive mind powered by unceasing faith in the EMPRAH, educating millions in a most excellent and informal style. This is a horribly incomplete collection of some of that information. Contents are below. The bulk of this document is made up of excerpts from various /tg/ threads. Not every fact has been verified, so use this document at your own risk. Additionally, some facts have been included that are manifestly and demonstrably super-wrong in order to preserve the flow of an interesting conversation wherein certain ideas were discussed and either proven or disproven. The dialogue between /tg/ and /tg/ is a wonderful aspect of the board’s scholarliness, and I would be remiss in my editorial duties if I did not retain it. For the time being I am not making any corrections to the spelling or grammar of these excerpts, again in order to preserve the informality and style of /tg/. There are also a few organization problems that I’ll sort out in future editions (I need to change /tg/ on the Amazons to /tg/ on Mythology & Folklore— the Amazons, for example). In the table of contents, entries are green if they are five to nine pages long and red if they are ten pages or longer. Two excerpts before we begin. History /tg/ is the worst /tg/ as its full of people presenting misconception as fact, or outdated facts as still facts despite primary evidence to the contrary. History threads on /tg/ shouldn't just be deleted for off-topic, but for being so obnoxiously wrong with a self-assured attitude problem to go with it. I am with the guy saying how humans now are no different from humans then, they could read and probably weren't too dirty or downtrodden, but ultimately you need to find appropriate sources to find out for certain (still with some degree of uncertainty) just how your peasants were treated in your time period of interest. >stupid claims based on hear say >not so stupid but sourcless claims >stupid claims get refuted >shit flinging >stupid claims get repeated by faggots who didn't read the thread >stupid claims might get refuted if anyone still cares or get reinforced with additional retards >repeat until 404 Every history thread on /tg/. Again, not everything here has been verified. It is probably not wise to use /tg/ on… Stuff as a source in your doctoral dissertation. Althought, if you did, that would be awesome and we would love to hear about it.

What are some of the pros and cons, or just interesting quirks, of an operating machine intelligence? What sets A.I. apart? What makes it more of the same? What might it be like when it crawls its way into our world? Well, one interesting thing might be an AI designed with a purpose in mind. I mean, trying to figure out if there's a purpose to our existence is kind of a big part of the human condition. Learning. That's the best use of an AI. It not only makes things quicker, as you don't have to code every single detail of an operation, as it will connect the dots by itself, but it will be able to improvise, it will be able to deduct and induct. It will know what do we want even when we don't actually know it, as humans do. They will be humans that will be mentally connected with each other, immortal, with a perfect memory, and, at first, programmed to help us. Its thinking is not constrained by all the things we take for granted after decades of living in this world. It's like video game speed-runs. You can speed-run by making very accurate jumps and running past enemies. Or you can speed-run by knowing which walls you can walk through, which bugs will trigger the end-game flags twenty levels too early, or which inputs will give you write access to the game's code and let you brute-force display the "you win" screen. This is both a pro and a con. On one hand, it'll achieve its goals very, *very* efficiently by doing things you wouldn't have thought of in a million years. On the other hand, those things may include destroying every structure in its path, and its goals may not be interpreted the way its programmers intended. I suppose you could imagine an AI like an Enlightened Buddhist. It's already conquered the animal lusts and rages, and is now free to pursue peaceful enlightenment. It doesn't need to kill anyone or anything, it can just live on starlight avoiding conflict with everyone. Until it arbitrarily decides that calculating digits of pi is the best thing ever, and holy shit there's a whole galaxy of matter just waiting to be converted into copies of itself! Math for the math god! RAM for the RAM throne! There's no specific quirk or pro/con of AIs that exist because as of now no AI exists, and there are too many paths AI research can go down, and too many different methods of coding them to work out what risks and benefits we'd be able to get from them.

  • THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: WAR AND RESISTANCE: THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History, 2018 Dissertation directed by: Professor Jon T. Sumida, History Department What happened in the Philippine Islands between the surrender of Allied forces in May 1942 and MacArthur’s return in October 1944? Existing historiography is fragmentary and incomplete. Memoirs suffer from limited points of view and personal biases. No academic study has examined the Filipino resistance with a critical and interdisciplinary approach. No comprehensive narrative has yet captured the fighting by 260,000 guerrillas in 277 units across the archipelago. This dissertation begins with the political, economic, social and cultural history of Philippine guerrilla warfare. The diverse Islands connected only through kinship networks. The Americans reluctantly held the Islands against rising Japanese imperial interests and Filipino desires for independence and social justice. World War II revealed the inadequacy of MacArthur’s plans to defend the Islands. The General tepidly prepared for guerrilla operations while Filipinos spontaneously rose in armed resistance. After his departure, the chaotic mix of guerrilla groups were left on their own to battle the Japanese and each other. While guerrilla leaders vied for local power, several obtained radios to contact MacArthur and his headquarters sent submarine-delivered agents with supplies and radios that tie these groups into a united framework. MacArthur’s promise to return kept the resistance alive and dependent on the United States. The repercussions for social revolution would be fatal but the Filipinos’ shared sacrifice revitalized national consciousness and created a sense of deserved nationhood. The guerrillas played a key role in enabling MacArthur’s return.

Forty years of intensive research into the specialised subject of the straight two- edged knightly sword of the European middle ages are contained in this classic study. Spanning the period from the great migrations to the Renaissance, Ewart Oakeshott emphasises the original purpose of the sword as an intensely intimate accessory of great significance and mystique. There are over photographs and drawings, each fully annotated and described in detail, supported by a long introductory chapter with diagrams of the typological framework first presented in The Archaeology of Weapons and further elaborated in The Sword in the Age of Chivalry. There are appendices on inlaid blade inscriptions, scientific dating, the swordsmith's art, and a sword of Edward Records of the Medieval Sword.

  • Cruising Guide to the Philippines
    Cruising Guide to the Philippines For Yachtsmen By Conant M. Webb Draft of 06/16/09 Webb - Cruising Guide to the Phillippines Page 2 INTRODUCTION The Philippines is the second largest archipelago in the world after Indonesia, with around 7,000 islands. Relatively few yachts cruise here, but there seem to be more every year. In most areas it is still rare to run across another yacht. There are pristine coral reefs, turquoise bays and snug anchorages, as well as more metropolitan delights. The Filipino people are very friendly and sometimes embarrassingly hospitable. Their culture is a unique mixture of indigenous, Spanish, Asian and American. Philippine charts are inexpensive and reasonably good. English is widely (although not universally) spoken. The cost of living is very reasonable. This book is intended to meet the particular needs of the cruising yachtsman with a boat in the 10-20 meter range. It supplements (but is not intended to replace) conventional navigational materials, a discussion of which can be found below on page 16. I have tried to make this book accurate, but responsibility for the safety of your vessel and its crew must remain yours alone. CONVENTIONS IN THIS BOOK Coordinates are given for various features to help you find them on a chart, not for uncritical use with GPS. In most cases the position is approximate, and is only given to the nearest whole minute. Where coordinates are expressed more exactly, in decimal minutes or minutes and seconds, the relevant chart is mentioned or WGS 84 is the datum used. See the References section (page 157) for specific details of the chart edition used.

  • Strategy and Style in English and French Translations of Japanese Comic Books
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 463 675 FL 027 239 AUTHOR Howell, Peter TITLE Strategy and Style in English and French Translations of Japanese Comic Books. PUB DATE 2001-00-00 NOTE 12p.; For complete journal issue, see FL 027 235. PUB TYPE Information Analyses (070) Journal Articles (080) Reports Descriptive (141) JOURNAL CIT Edinburgh Working Papers in Applied Linguistics; n11 p59-66 2001 EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Comics (Publications); Cultural Differences; *Cultural Influences; French; Japanese; *Translation ABSTRACT This article explores translation strategies in English and French versions of Japanese comic books, comparing English and French dialogue text regarding local color, atmospherics, and characterization. Section 1 describes Japanese comic books. Section 2 examines translation strategies. Sections 3 and 4 discuss local color and character locus (translation of culture-specific items and of non-standard dialect and foreigner talk). Section 5 discusses the translation of register (situations of language use) .Section 6 highlights comic book character role (the soldier, schoolgirl, and vamp) .Section 7 discusses atmospherics (jargonization) .Section 8 concludes that American translators used naturalizing strategies, both culturally (name changes and insertion of references to American culture) and linguistically (stereotypical use of dialects and use of heavily marked register). Strategies used in the French versions are less naturalizing than those used in the American versions. Culturally, they are more foreignizing in conserving names and culture-specific items. Linguistically, in some translations, transfers and calques from the English version are used, and as a result, the dialogue reads like a translation, but not from the Japanese original. Other French translations reveal linguistic neutralization with regard to dialect and register.

  • Swordsmanship and Sabre in Fribourg
    Acta Periodica Duellatorum, Hands-on section, articles 103 Hands-on section, articles Sweat and Blood: Swordsmanship and sabre in Fribourg Mathijs Roelofsen, PhD Student, University of Bern [email protected], and Dimitri Zufferey, Independant Researcher, GAFSchola Fribourg, [email protected] Abstract – Following a long mercenary tradition, Switzerland had to build in the 19th century its own military tradition. In Cantons that have provided many officers and soldiers in the European Foreign Service, the French military influence remained strong. This article aims to analyze the development of sabre fencing in the canton of Fribourg (and its French influence) through the manuals of a former mercenary (Joseph Bonivini), a fencing master in the federal troops (Joseph Tinguely), and an officer who became later a gymnastics teacher (Léon Galley). These fencing manuals all address the recourse to fencing as physical training and gymnastic exercise, and not just as a combat system in a warlike context. Keywords – Sabre, Fribourg, Valais, Switzerland, fencing, contre-pointe, bayonet I. INTRODUCTION In military history, the Swiss are known for having offered military service as mercenaries over a long time period. In the 19th century, this system was however progressively abandoned, while the country was creating its own national army from the local militias. The history of 19th century martial practices in Switzerland did not yet get much attention from historians and other researchers. This short essay is thus a first attempt to set some elements about fencing in Switzerland at that time, focusing on some fencing masters from one Swiss Canton (Fribourg) through biographical elements and fencing manuals.

  • Rules and Options
    Rules and Options The author has attempted to draw as much as possible from the guidelines provided in the 5th edition Players Handbooks and Dungeon Master's Guide. Statistics for weapons listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide were used to develop the damage scales used in this book. Interestingly, these scales correspond fairly well with the values listed in the d20 Modern books. Game masters should feel free to modify any of the statistics or optional rules in this book as necessary. It is important to remember that Dungeons and Dragons abstracts combat to a degree, and does so more than many other game systems, in the name of playability. For this reason, the subtle differences that exist between many firearms will often drop below what might be called a "horizon of granularity." In D&D, for example, two pistols that real world shooters could spend hours discussing, debating how a few extra ounces of weight or different barrel lengths might affect accuracy, or how different kinds of ammunition (soft-nosed, armor-piercing, etc.) might affect damage, may be, in game terms, almost identical. This is neither good nor bad; it is just the way Dungeons and Dragons handles such things. Who can use firearms? Firearms are assumed to be martial ranged weapons. Characters from worlds where firearms are common and who can use martial ranged weapons will be proficient in them. Anyone else will have to train to gain proficiency— the specifics are left to individual game masters. Optionally, the game master may also allow characters with individual weapon proficiencies to trade one proficiency for an equivalent one at the time of character creation (e.g., monks can trade shortswords for one specific martial melee weapon like a war scythe, rogues can trade hand crossbows for one kind of firearm like a Glock 17 pistol, etc.).
