1) There's a range of speeds that are possible depending on what you assume the turning angle of the jet was. That range doesn't go anywhere close to the speed of sound. 2) The burden of proof is on those who make an extraordinary

It's time for the West to stop playing around and allowing this sort of hostage taking. If China and Russia want to play dirty, play dirty back. They take a hostage, start taking their nationals hostage and plant large quantities of fe

Just be prepared to spend a year or two in prison if relations between your country and China worsen and they need a hostage.

Just as much reason to believe it would be lower than higher. There aren't a fixed number of jobs. A talented engineer who comes to America can go on to start up his own company (and there are many examples of this occurring), creating

I said it was the authentic Chinese experience. Would you say the twenty some million denizens of Shanghai had an inauthentic experience?

Truly their experience must have been an inauthentic one, then. > People were not kept in cages What a hilarious nitpick at an obvious turn of phrase. Do you think I actually meant to say people were literally kept in little cells with b

Ah, the videos of Shanghai I saw on Weibo last year must have been part of a CIA psyop, then.

Oh, I've been to China many times. Enough times to appreciate not having been born there. Western media about China, while somewhat one-sided, isn't particularly unfair in my experience.

Most people know what happened, but nobody refers to Tiananmen Square because 1) that's a pretty notable place on its own and 2) the protests were a nationwide movement, of which international journalists only ever saw any of it in Bei

Funny, I have been to China many times visiting family and have never felt that western media has been particularly unfair in its portrayal. I would rather not ever go back while Xi is still in power if I can help it (unfortunately I may ha

Yes, I think dispatching the drone could be done in a safer way. E.g., by sending the user some button to click on to send the command the LLM suggests to the drone. They have the confirmation messages saying what action was performed, but
