Разкажете, моля, за декемврийските бунтове през 1984 Извадка от интервю публикувано в Медиапул на 22 март 2009г, което за съжаление вече не е достъпно в архива: "- Тази зима e много тежка - с обилни снеговалежи, с температури под минус 20 градуса. При тези студове на 24 декември 1200 души протестират в село Млечино - център на селищна система. На 25 декември над 3500 души са демонстрантите в село Бенковски - също център на селищна система, в голямата си част придошли от околните села. На следващия ден стават тежки сблъсъци между демонстрантите и силите за сигурност, когато отново около 3 хиляди души от селата Каялоба, Горски извор, Могиляне, Пресека и Добромирци се насочват към Бенковски на няколко пъти по няколко направления и накрая навлизат в селото." https://liternet.bg/publish19/d_gorcheva/mihail-ivanov.htm @istoria

Models like Talkie-1930 sound like voices from the past. If they could reliably speak from specified historical vantage points, researchers might also use them to simulate the past. But how reliable are they? Today we release a benchmark answering that question for English contexts 1831-1930.
Free-text evaluation of answers to character modeling and constrained generation questions. This is just one of several scores Chronologic-EN can produce; we focus on it here because it's both the hardest test and the one most relevant to simulation of the past. Frontier models reach 72%; Talkie-1930 is stronger than several larger competitors, but not at the frontier by this measure. Note that this score has improved ~45% in the last two years, but still falls perceptibly short of ground truth.

The WAR ON WALKING has taken many forms around the world. It’s often as simple as how we signal who space is and isn’t for. Once our eyes are opened to all the ways we’ve prioritized cars over people, we can’t unsee it. Frustrating photo contributed by @stadsplanering.bsky.social. #WarOnWalking
Background photo from North Macedonia, where “sidewalks are mostly used to park cars” as explained by photo contributor Carl-Henrik Barnekow. Text says “Don’t buy the lie that there’s a war on cars.
