That's what I figure too... but I'm still a bit surprised that he was able to suppress his ego even to that minimal degree.

However I won't be surprised at all if, a few weeks out, he starts making the old noises. His enablers have convinced him that he's invincible and brilliant.

Notice I said most popular language. Objectively, Python is a terrible language and no good code can be written in it. If I only knew Python, I would want to replace all my effort with an LLM.

However, it will remain the most popular language as long as schools are teaching it to beginning programmers. It's the BASIC of the modern era (and only basic people choose it. Basic is an insult here).

Iran is trying to blackmail its neighbors with the weapons it already has. If it got nuclear weapons, it would continue to try to blackmail countries, including the US.

Why was North Korea allowed to develop nuclear weapons but not Iran?

Their blackmail capability was/is much stronger than Iran's. North Korea could kill a million people in a week in South Korea with conventional weapons, if they so chose.

Hu is not really pronounced the way the English interrogative pronoun "who" is pronounced.

It is, the biggest difference being that the Chinese version has tones.

Having said that, the only joke that came to my weak sense of humor would involve a crew of Chinese astronauts with names that sound like English words

This one is tricky though, it would maybe require a draft and then 20 rewrites before people laughed.

- Don't get me wrong, I'm quite happy with the end result. But seriously, the GOP has seemed all-in about trying to pretend Trump is invincible, and I'm curious to see how they try to spin it this time - SO MANY of his personally-selected candidates lost!

- Estimates I saw were that Musk spent $400 million this time around - and $126 million just on the Texas Senate race! I'd like to see the Dems put forward some bill to reign that sort of spending in... but I doubt there will be any truly serious attempts to do so, even if the appropriate noises get made.
