JOSÉ MBOMO, LUCHADOR ANTIFASCISTA

José Epita nació en Ibanamai, en la que era la colonia española de Guinea en 1911. Se formó como mecánico y entró en el ejército español con 16 años.

El 1 de enero de 1936 se casa en Cartagena con Cristina Sáez, es la primera vez que un hombre de origen africano se casaba con una española y eso generó cierta polémica. Ese mismo año empieza la guerra civil, manteniéndose Epita fiel a la República.

Durante la guerra alcanza el rango de teniente. Una vez terminada cruza la frontera hacia Francia. Allí subsiste en varios de los infames campos de concentración en la que los franceses metieron a los españoles republicanos con los que no sabían que hacer.

Pero Francia fue a su vez invadida por los nazis y nuestro protagonista se une a la resistencia francesa, llegando a ser uno de sus líderes más destacados. En 1944 cae preso por la gendarmería francesa y entregado a las autoridades nazis que envían al campo de Neuengamme.

En un momento dado, por motivos no muy claros, los alemanes internan a varios prisioneros en buques-prisión. José es subido al Cap Arcona, que había sido un trasantlántico de lujo y que ahora se encontraba repleto de prisioneros hacinados.

La RAF británica localiza al barco y creyéndolo un buque enemigo, lo hunde. No valiéndoles con el hundimiento, los aviones británicos dieron varias pasadas ametrallando a los sobrevivientes que trataban de ganar la costa a nado.

Se estima que más de 4.500 prisioneros de guerra murieron aquel día, José no fue uno de ellos. Fue uno de los apenas 300 supervivientes.

Una vez acabada la guerra, vuelve a Francia donde se reúne con su familia.

Gracias a su pasado de lucha contra los nazis, José consigue la nacionalidad francesa y decide cambiar su apellido Epita por Mbomo.

En 1968, decepcionado y triste por los acontecimientos de la Primavera de Praga, sale del partido comunista. En 1969 volvió brevemente a España. Murió el mismo 1969 en Francia, por un cáncer.

The new version of Llava, llava 1.6, is out. This is going to be a game changer. It accepts larger images, it can perform OCR, it has more world knowledge, it excels at reasoning, and it beets Google's newest LLM on multiple benchmarks

#Thunderbird #FOSDEM #Android

This is a three hour long #photo sequence I took in Jan 2019 during a total lunar #eclipse at ESO's Paranal Observatory in #Chile

As the #Moon moves into the Earth's shadow it becomes red. When sunlight passes through the Earth's atmosphere, blue light is scattered away more efficiently than red light, which passes through almost unimpeded, like at #sunrise or #sunset.

From the Moon, you would see the Earth surrounded by a golden fiery ring.

Giving credit where credit is due this was posted by another but wasn't able to be boosted so we copy here to share. This commercial with audio description will be airing during Superbowl 57 on february 12th. It's showing how the Google Pixel phones can help guide blind and VI people in taking pictures. They reference the Pixel 8, however I've used this on my Pixel 7A and it's super neat. youtube.com/watch?v=YmXUbzpDY5…

A friend of a friend, who is blind, got placed in “accessible” accommodation recently where all the amenities (washing machine, microwave, intercom etc.) are touchscreen, if ever you wonder how fucking ignorant non-disabled people can be.

Same same... It also transforms everything into computers, which in principle is fine (if you have a computer in there and good IO you can use any way to talk to it, and it can talk back, literally) but that's in the ideal world where software isn't crap. So instead of having a knob that governs a potentiometer or whatever, suddenly it's a computer, and one I can't use. Very frustrating indeed.

It's kinda weird seeing people saying "Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005 to give peace a chance".

This is Dov Weisglass, senior adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, in an interview to Haaretz in 2004. Weisglass was one of the initiators of the disengagement plan.

"The significance of the disengagement plan is the freezing of the peace process."

“LLMs are excellent at reworking stuff you’ve written—summarizing content, adjusting it to a particular reading level, helping you craft a suitable conclusion for an article or talk based on your existing content. They are not fact machines. Furthermore, they can’t replicate or replace your unique perspective on a subject and that’s the very humanness that makes your writings, talks, and other forms of communication worthy of our time.” – @Aaron

jeste koukam, ze ti tu spousta lidi doporucuje obrovske zdroje ... bacha na to, vyssi potencialni vykon neznamena vyssi kvalitu
hod si ostatni komponenty do nejake online kalkulacky spotreby a zhruba zdvojnasob beznou spotrebu (ne maximalni), tak se dostanes na zdroj s optimalni efektivitou
ja jsem si treba naposledy stavel mini-ITX masinku s GTX 1650 S a vesel se stabilne s rezervou do 300 W
