tibet? that's about the only war in the last century where china proactively sought military action

China has attacked most of its neighbors, but can you possibly justify their ongoing military incursion into Bhutan? Do you think it was to protect national security?

you don't know fuck all about "chinese worldview". i probably don't either,

You have a very strong emotional opinion for an admitted ignoramus. If you calm down, I'll be happy to discuss this point with you rationally, otherwise I'll just leave you stewing in your emotional ignorance.

because it is not in their interest, war is costly and china extends its influence through trade and agreements,

China sees taking Taiwan as in their interests, and indeed, controlling the entire first island chain to be in their interests.

Currently the US is involved in two different wars. The US weapon supply is depleted, but it will be rebuilt, stronger than before. If China does not move militarily now, then they will not have another window of opportunity like this one for a long, long time.

i doubt china will enter any war whatsoever if they can avoid it.

Why would you doubt it? China has never been reticent to enter war in any way, and certainly has been provoking for the last couple decades.

china actually wants worldwide stability (ergo peace)

In the Chinese worldview, peace can only come though the sword of the emperor.

Sites got so plastered in ads and tracking scripts that they became utterly unusable without an ad blocker, even for people who WANTED to support the sites

Google is responsible here. The could penalize websites that have too many ads. But they won't because that is how they make money.

It's a clear example of a monopoly making the world worse.

i'm not really sure what you are trying to say, but it's nevertheless ironic

In Russian, the word "soviet" just means committee.

his theory about conventional deterrence and how that theoretical framework explains russia's invasion of ukraine in 2022

They're trying to make a bipolar world. Well if China doesn't enter the war in the next few months, then all that will go out the window as Iran gets rolled up followed by Russia. Putin should have focused on his economy if he wanted deterrence.

If you are running JFrog Artifactory you need to put it behind a firewall immediately. It should not be accessible on the open internet. Jfrog has a giant target on their back now for hackers all across the globe.

Realistically speaking, you shouldn't have any ports open to the general internet except 80, 443, and 23.

LLMs are somewhat good at combining that and hence your idea does not work.

LLMs are good at interpolating but terrible at extrapolating. The only difficulty is figuring out what to omit so it can't interpolate to instructions for synthesizing cocaine. It's not magic. It's also fairly easy to verify for the provider, they just have to ask it to synthesize cocaine without the controls in place. If it can't do it, problem solved.

Incidentally, in my own experiments with ChatGPT I'm not convinced it can actually provide good instructions for chemical synthesis (at least, not without some luck).
