@adcha91 @joequant China.

@adcha91 @joequant "A great change unseen in a century" was something Xi began saying frequently just a few years after he took power. My professor had simply mentioned it in class a little earlier. It's likely the view was already gaining some consensus at the time.

@joequant After Xi became president, my philosophy professor kept saying to us, “You’ve caught an era of great changes unseen in a century.” All these years, I’ve remembered what he said, not because I thought it made sense at the time, but because he sounded like some eccentric prophet.

@the53thcard @peakcooper Large language models have no self-awareness. They can't possibly know what model they are. Every time a new model is released, some clowns come out saying, "This model thinks it's another model, so it's plagiarism!" It's utterly ridiculous.

@joequant @TheGrouchHK The Cantonese pronunciation used by Hong Kong news broadcasters is an artificial standard created by a group of conservative Hong Kong scholars based on ancient pronunciations. That’s why it often feels so disconnected from everyday spoken Cantonese in Hong Kong.

@christogreece @Roeland1985 @imetatronink @timand2037 W586 is the aircraft’s alias in China’s ticketing system. Notice how the PLA’s latest weapon systems politely queues up at counters D21-24 for its boarding pass, then waddles to Gate 310 like any other law-abiding passenger. 😂😂😂

@christogreece @Roeland1985 @imetatronink @timand2037 IRM086 is usually operated by an Airbus A340-600 (A346) or A340-300 (A343), recent records mostly show the A340-600. It's just a commercial airliner 😂😂😂.

@nikstankovic_ Scrolling through Twitter too much really does make you depressed. Even if you only follow smart people, you're still constantly forced to see a ton of idiots.

@CarlosBoutThat @Realwheel1 @Amb_Ulyanov So which one are you: the devoted dad who sent five kids to college, the veteran with imperialistic dreams willing to send kids to invade Danish soil, or just a clueless, uneducated internet troll? Who are you really？

[Rusty @Rusty6994960540]

@CarlosBoutThat @Realwheel1 @Amb_Ulyanov The US is now threatening to occupy Greenland. Do you think the people of Greenland should fight for their sovereignty, or collude with the invaders and sell out their own land? For ordinary Greenlanders, should they let their sons get killed by Americans during the resistance?

[Rusty @Rusty6994960540]

@CarlosBoutThat @Realwheel1 @Amb_Ulyanov I've prepared fallback plans for my kid in both Taiwan and China and you call me a coward? Siding with CCP？
You? A father who can't even pay for your children's college tuition and has to watch them enlist early? Yeah, "bravery" is all you've got left.

[Rusty @Rusty6994960540]

@CarlosBoutThat @Realwheel1 @Amb_Ulyanov Yes, Taiwan is a concern for the ruling class, but not yours. All you can do is watch your kid die at sea, body never recovered. You fantasize about embodying America's military might, but really, you're just a middle-aged vet who can't afford your children's college tuition.

@nuhor_lir_guren @chenweihua Chinese state media never shy away from being the mouthpiece of the party. Media in Western countries often present themselves as "free", whatever that means, yet in reality, both operate under similar guidelines dictating what can and cannot be said.

[Rusty @Rusty6994960540]

@CarlosBoutThat @Realwheel1 @Amb_Ulyanov I would never tell Americans what's better for them despite lived in the US. Maybe Americans actually enjoy paying off student loans? You know nothing about Taiwan or China, yet you never miss a chance to lecture me. Ignorance and arrogance seem to be your defining traits.

[Rusty @Rusty6994960540]

@CarlosBoutThat @Realwheel1 @Amb_Ulyanov Taiwanese people are not plantation slaves to be ordered around by white Americans. Taiwanese people have the right to determine their own future. Even if Taiwan were to unify with China, it is none of your concern. But of course, a racist would never understand that.
