It would make more sense to have a EU made - if you want 100% government controlled - social network for kids.

The kids will circumvent this bullshit anyway. And if I was a parent I would make my child a fake account, just like most parents will do.

What the fark is wrong with having an FB account or a TikTok account that shows you people from all over the world and their culture???

Most "investigations" are not possible without AI.

Or they would take years, while Google Gemini simply answers in a few seconds.

Yes: the questions I ask take it 10 seconds or more to compute.

For example: "If I give you a list of japanese terms for the martial art Aikido, could you translate them into the terms for korean hapkido?"

Note: I used the "english" transliterations for the exact techniques I was interested in. So: it had to gather Informations about: "what is that actually", figure what that means in a martial art, figure that the same thing is done in another martial art, and figure the name of that technique in the other art. Without me using Japanese script.

Note: you can not translate martial arts techniques word by word. A technique has a name, like a "design pattern" in programming. It can basically have a completely different name in another art, even if it is from the same country/language.

How do you "research" that on your own, if you do not speak Korean, and have no Hapkido instructor around?

The answers of Gemini were accurate, simple and perfect, and it wanted to engage into a "conversation" where I followed up with 3 more questions.

There are three layers of knowledge (actually 4).
- the stuff you know
- the stuff you know, that you don't know it (for example you know you can not read or speak Sumerian)
- the stuff you do not know, that you do not know it

The 4th layer is a bit silly: it is the stuff you know, but do not realize you know it. A bit like passive language skills. For example, I think I can read any English text (or German), but there are thousands of words I never use actively.

Oh, CCP membership is under 100 million. It's in the high 90's. Decidedly less than 9% of the 1.41 billion people in China.
And what is wrong with that?

In European countries, there are less than 1% of the people in any party. Why would they?

Wikipedia, the BBC, and a couple of other news outlets are where I was able to find that the CCP is invite only.
That is wrong, you did not even google.

Backends running JS/TS are usually running on super fast JS VMs.

From point of view of developer teams, it makes perfectly sense to have on both sides the same languages.

The people "hating" it and badmouthing it, are usually 30 years out of the loop how much ECMA Script has evolved - and are not working with any of the languages involved anyway.
