I've not followed the whole thread but perhaps the point is that the Bible is a bunch of inconsistent bullshit from thousands of years ago which has as much relevance to anything as the musical tone generated when a mosquito farts (or perhaps less) and whose sole purpose is to dismantle any tendency towards critical thinking exhibited by those who are exposed to it?

Submission + - ESWIN Computing and Canonical launch powerful low cost RISC-V SBC running Ubuntu (nerds.xyz)

BrianFagioli writes: Canonical and ESWIN Computing have teamed up to launch the EBC77 Series SBC, a developer-friendly RISC-V board that ships with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS out of the box.

Itâ(TM)s powered by a quad-core 64-bit RISC-V CPU (1.8GHz), 20TOPS NPU, LPDDR5 at 6400Mbps, and supports PCIe Gen3, USB 3.2, HDMI, Wi-Fi, and more. Canonical is clearly doubling down on RISC-V, and this board looks like a solid platform for embedded devs, educators, and Linux tinkerers.

Submission + - How drones and video-game techniques are coming together in Ukraine's war (economist.com) 1

cmseagle writes: A recent report from The Economist describes the evolution of Ukraine's drone war, and the adoption of mechanics that would be familiar to any Call of Duty player:

Gamification came to the drone war in August 2024, when the Army of Drones, a government-backed initiative to acquire drones for the armed forces, launched a “bonus” system ... Once a drone kill is logged, identified and confirmed, it wins a number of points depending on the military value of the item destroyed.

A drone operator who destroys a T-90M tank–Russia’s most advanced combat vehicle–with a disposable First Person View (FPV) drone gets enough points to make his unit eligible to receive 15 more (which would cost the armed forces around $10,000 in total). The system gives operators an incentive to find high-value targets and means that the units scoring kills are rewarded with prompt resupply.
