I think this is just a case of writing that is legally on the weak side for the concepts discussed and not subtle manipulation that if she didn't physically touched him with the car, the shooting was unjustified.

nearly universal among humans moral principle (no taking someone else's exhaustible goods)
Please prove near universality. Because every angle you look at a history - it is taking some else's exhaustible goods.

But China views the other entities the way physicists view black holes - all complexity is hidden and there is only two parameters - mass and spin. China cares only about resources, markets and shipping routes. They don't care about human rights, religion, ethnicity, who exactly is in power as long as it is stable, they are cavalier about things like pollution and whatnot. The only thing they are emotional about is Taiwan.

No. China is ... lawful evil. But one of the things that people don't understand is that well run dictatorships end up as disneylands with death penalty. The streets are clean, the trains run on time, they usually care about things like corruption and want the justice system to be reliable, predictable and somewhat just when it is not related to state interests. There are also feedback channels and the borders are somewhat porous so that the troublemakers can actually get out. Why - because total oppression is expensive. It is cheaper for the regime to provide high degree of economic freedom than to go completely planned economy. And economic prosperity tames down the desire for political freedom in the vast majority of people. Shanghai was one of the few places in the world that I have been that the concept of street crime was out my mind. China is probably also the state I least want to cross while under their jurisdiction - they will just crush you. And with total indifference.

I think that Trump also has quite a bit of quiet support on the topic. US really really wants to control all the places one can use as staging areas for mainland invasion. War against mexico, spain and the forever sanctions on communist cuba tell the story.

Managing context is kinda new skill. I have figured out that at some point you have to start from scratch - just copy paste relevant context and delete old chat.
LLM are expertise multipliers. if you have expertise they are extremely useful. And I think that people do keep the reigns of the agents too loose.
Anyway - just out of curiosity was it a paid tier of first tier model? And for technical debt - no matter how bad the situation, never do a clean sheet design. You usually have to deal with the same crap and you have wasted time rewriting. There are exceptions of course, but usually it is because writing code is easier than understanding code.

You can't outlaw math, which means you can't outlaw encryption and cryptography in the digital world.
Let me introduce you to the concept of locked bootloaders and secure boot.

Can you elaborate a bit? Because at the current year of the lord almost every user software that is not open source is utter shit or in the process of turning to shit fast. The software on the chinese devices is as crappy as the one on the rest.
And to me it seems that they are quite capable of writing industrial software for their own needs.

Post lobotomy Jill Biden will have more ability than Kamala Harris on her best day. Harris is not cut of leadership clot.

What you say is more about wrong policies (which is interesting in itself). Their real estate policy was a mistake, as is belt and road probably, but no one doubts that chinese can pour immense amounts of concrete in various shapes and lay tracks with the best of them. I am more interested in the moonshots that failed than the roads they did not take.

Here is one for you - Chinese failures. We write a lot about china successes in the culture war topic and it is not undeserved. But what about the other areas - that are structural, important, the government is keen on them succeeding, but they fail. So far the only thing that comes to my mind is civilian aerospace. They are way behind, rely on western parts, doesn't seem to be able to be waned off them and everything is way behind schedule. And that in a moment in which the lead times for delivery of aircraft approach 10 years. The market is hungry, China wants to provide, but they can't.

AI is business class. What I figured out recently is that while AI is making my development more comfortable it doesn't make me more productive. For me dev work has always been primary problem solving and writing the code secondary. So I spend more time on logic, understanding and occasionally debugging. And human brain does seem to have limited capacity for decision making and understanding per day. It is like long haul flight - arrive at the same time at the airport. But the seats are nicer and you can nap in the full flat ones.

Umm Louisiana purchase and Alaska fit quite well in the way US has done things. Find a nice chunk of land you want, wait until the remote power that controls it is in vulnerable position, acquire it for penny on the dollar with vague rumblings about just taking it.
What people don't understand is that what USA is doing is mostly return to form. What donald trump is doing will probably get critique from Teddy Roosevelt about the style, but not about the substance.
Safe bet that trump will be gone. The bet that the next democratic administration will care about what europeans think about them like Obama is anything but safe. Whether MAGA wins or loses - Europe has lost USA respect. And it will show no matter who is in the white house.
