#262There's no way I am using a Chinese IDE with VSCode (w/ Coppilot) and Cursor existing after reading the privacy issues in the court documents with TikTok. Bytedance had some extremely overreaching expectations of data it wanted. That being said, I am using (Chinese) Deepseek r1 because there isn't currently a free LLM on par with it. I am careful with what I share though, a little more so than with any others that ar…
To me USA and China are both foreign nations, and USA is the one who is far more aggressive in terms of army and spies. So as a non USA citizen, I'm way more afraid of USA than I am of China.
That makes you an outlier. Despite everything, millions of people are still desperate to get into the USA. China, not so much.

Taliban is a terrorist group, painting them in a bad light is factual. Nazis, also factual. So I don't think I fully understand the last sentence. Do you mean it's not appropriate for specifically _minors_ to have a theme park about how Nazis are bad guys? Because there's a lot of western content to this effect, including movies and video games, which are also accessible to children. If anything, Chinese content guid…
This is fair and I think reflects my personal opinions on keeping children out of politics. My point is more to do with seeing little kids being dressed up in CCP uniforms, handed a bayonette, and told to charge at the Japanese. I also agree we see this around the world "including movies and video games, which are also accessible to children" but I draw the line where it's being encouraged by the government to do the…
The house overwhelmingly passed https://www.congress.gov/118/bills/hr5349/BILLS-118hr5349rfs... , requiring all high schoolers
"(A) learn that communism has led to the deaths of over 100,000,000 victims worldwide;
(B) understand the dangers of communism and similar political ideologies; and
(C) understand that 1,500,000,000 people still suffer under communism."
Including an oral history "Portraits in Patriotism"
If this isn't propaganda against the CCP I don't know what is. Call it truthful or not, kids are being told China is The Enemy.
They're dressed up in military uniforms as early as middle school if you're in JROTC.
And funny you bring up them suppressing hate speech when here in America we've recently decided to do the opposite with X and Facebook.

Then you know nothing of how China operates its military or its intelligence gathering apparatus. Ask any of the parts of the world that disagree with China about their sovereignty…
I don't see tanks in taiwan…
What I see is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_with_oversea...
As I've already said, I never claimed china are the good guys. Just that they aren't the worse guys.

You could say all of that about the American empire. We renamed it to the Gulf of America, talk about annexing Canada, own Hawaii, fund the colony of Israel, invented Manifest Destony, destabilize democracy via the CIA, firebombed Vietnam, etc etc etc And don't talk to me abt Chinese spying when the NSA and Five Eyes hoovers up and processes the entire internet. Re: propaganda, read your own comment. The American pro…
The US is largely talk, vs. the substantial action China takes and has taken against territories it considers its own. The US importantly has a robust and independent judiciary where a fair trial is infinitely more likely than in China. Even for foreigners, the US legal system is accessible, understandable, and weildable for protection. It’s far from perfect, but 100x what you’d get in China.

Except if you have an abortion. Then laws don't matter.

Don’t worry. There’s literally nothing an llm can write or tell you that you can’t write yourself or find in a manual somewhere.
> There’s literally nothing an llm can write or tell you that you can’t write yourself or find in a manual somewhere. That's like saying, there's literally nothing a service business can do for you that you can't do yourself. It's only true in a theoretical sense, if neither time nor resources are a constraint. In such hypothetical universe, you don't need a dentist - you only need to spend 5+ years in medical school…

Like speaking english and coding?

I think you're unaware of just how aggressive China is. Look at their neighbours and their policies - they don't have a single friend because everyone is afraid of their bullying behaviour backed up by their military. Look at conquered regions like Tibet and Xinjiang. Look at how they set up police forces in foreign countries to keep an eye on Chinese citizens living abroad. Even having kidnapped and illegally held C…
Fact check: China has strong ties with Central Asian states, Russia, NK, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, Pakistan. Regional tensions mainly involve US-allied nations.

#269Side note, but I hate that we're moving to a world where coding costs a subscription. I fell in love with coding because I could take my dad's old Thinkpad, install Linux for free - fire up Emacs and start hacking without an internet connection. We're truly building walls everywhere.
And a world, where you cannot be sure who has access to your source code (or even to your systems).
