People who make fun of LLMs most often do get LLMs and try to point out how they tend to spew out factually incorrect information, which is a good thing since many many people out there do not, in fact, "get" LLMs (most are not even acquainted with the acronym, referring to the catch-all term "AI" instead) and there is no better way to make a precaution about the inaccuracy of output produced by LLMs –however realistic it might sound– than to point it out with examples with ridiculously wrong answers to simple questions.

Here in Greece we have raging wildfires for yet another summer, one enormous (30km) fire raging so close to the capital the smoke has enveloped the sky in many parts of the city, and the lib government praises itself over its "quick reaction time". Very few precautions have been taken since last year, so now fire fighters are risking their lives to contain the crisis, unfortunately without much success.

Thanks for sharing! This mostly mirrors my own short experience in PRC (a short visit to Shanghai). Can't wait for a chance to visit China again!
Nature, technology, buildings, culture, the museums, the people, just about everything is amazing.
Some problems I encountered as a non-Chinese person, and tips to overcome them, for anyone interested in visiting China to be ready for:
Also, for anyone who wants to buy theory books in PRC: unfortunately literature in foreign languages seems extremely scarce, since the vast majority of books is of course in Chinese. Only once did I find an English translation of Xi's works.
I like the simplicity of openrc and runit, they are as stable as a rock and their functions are easy to grasp. Systemd, on the other hand, while I can understand some of the motivation behind it, it still seems like a bad idea and an even worse implementation. In my experience –and I do understand that this might not be the case for many users– it and its modules has been the cause for some really cryptic bugs that took me valuable time to resolve, and which would not have occurred if it was just a init/service management system. On the contrary, openrc just does one job, and does it well. Haven't much experience with BSD but heard they are rock solid too.
This is quite an oversimplification of Plato's Republic but it somehow still hits the spot.
This needs to be a real command.
Regardless of political subtext, I found Master and Margarita a fun read. Nevertheless, Heart of a Dog of the same author was not pleasant to read.
Soviet literature was not worse than the works of pre-Revolution authors and ranged across many genres, from socialistic realism works to fantasy (Soviet sci-fi was great) and also many children books that are loved till this day. Unfortunately, same with other kinds of works, Soviet literature is disregarded by the West, as are many works that don't conform to the Western values.
Not surprising in the least, what else would they use their base on Cyprus for? Surely not for any good.
Cyprus is in a convenient geographical position in the region and it is safe to assume it has been widely used to monitor the situation and collect intelligence on the Gazan conflict.
