Agreed
So the pronunciation of the AI model kinda hurts, but this is a genius way to use AI to memorize vocab.

Thanks.
Genuinely asking, is this EO overturning laws duly passed by Congress and signed into law by previous presidents? If so, isn't that outside the purview of a president? Isn't Congress the only body that can repeal a law (assuming it isn't unconstitutional)?
It seems to me that our systems of checks and balances needs to step up and balance. Some checking would be good too. If our legal system is worth its salt, then shouldn't they toss out the case based on the 1st amendment regardless of what the President wants?
But it does give you super powers so there's that. Emacs uses might disagree and then we could have a war about things that will never be resolved. Or, we could watch Blackadder instead.
This is where I'd recommends vim or helix (my command line editor or choice). But then you'd have a harder time getting thigs like spelling correction which would tell you that "recommends" has an unnecessary "s" which thankfully I noticied but thought it would be diverting to leave in this oost.
How I feel about TEI for Ancient Greek texts.

But, please do write in markdown. Anything but Word. Please. π
I've been thinking about two things from this episode:
1. Output centers around verbs
2. Input centers around nouns.
Makes sense. Verbs control so much of sentence structure and we need them to communicate. When reading, we can often guess what's happening if we know who's doing it and to whom.
MLA kills more than a little piece. π¨
Ready for more Greeking Out?
Here's an interview with some great practical tips for growing your speaking ability in Ancient Greek:

It was great to be on this podcast! We talked about tiered readers, appropriate challenge, sheltering vs unsheltering, overcoming non-linguistic challenges to reading ancient texts and more!
Greeking Out has another interview. Tune in for a chat with @foundinantiquity.bsky.social about tiered readers and more.

A greek phrase that is still just as useful as when Cassius Dio wrote it:
ΟΝΞ½ Ξ΄β ΞΏΟ
ΜΝΞ½ Ξ±ΜΞ½Ξ±Ξ»ΟΞΌΞ±ΜΟΟΞ½ ΟΞΏΞ»Ο
Μ ΞΌΞ΅ΞΉΞΆΞΏΜΞ½ΟΞ½ Ξ·ΜΜ ΟΟΞΏΜΟΞ΅ΟΞΏΞ½ Ξ³ΞΉΞ³Ξ½ΞΏΞΌΞ΅ΜΞ½ΟΞ½,
Just released a recording of @jeltzz.bsky.social's LGPSI chapter 2, this time with a restored Koine pronunciation.
I'm planning to keep going.
Question: Better to keep this on the Greeking Out podcast or put them elsewhere? Or Both?
When I think of skeets it usually involves small clay disks flying through the air
People are starting to join.
For those interested in practicing your Ancient/Koine Greek, A friend and I are putting together a discord to organize such things. Here's the info page I cobbed together.

In writing Εsweald Bera, I had to make some decisions that not everyone will agree with
Trade-offs had to be made between:
- story
- grammatical simplicity
- vocabulary load
- idiomatic use of the language
I explain my point of view on Substack:

Something involving "Ξ±ΟΡδΟΞΉΟΞ½"
I was watching a video on Latin. The speaker said it was good to learn because it was stable and no one was adding words like "skibbidy Ohio toilet Riz". I thought I know just the people who could do such a thing.
So how would we say that in Latin/AG?

Greeking Out is geeking out about Old English with @colingorrie.bsky.social about a certain bear. (Say that 5 times fast.)

The results of tagging the Greek and Latin texts of the Perseus Digital Library are now sharded across 23 github repos.
I post updates about Greeting Out episodes usually and occasionally other stuff.
Super excited!!!
Have you been itching to Greek Out?
Well, the wait is over.
We're back with another interview. This time with Sawyer Moranville of Lingua Deo Gloria
