Because Trump blackmailed with Epstein files by Russians.

Yes, I remember: "Vector" BSL4 Lab, Novosibirsk, Russian Federation, Sep 16 2019. Fire blast, then unequipped military first responders which stole lab equipment, then joint military training with Wuhan military police few weeks later.

China was the first victim of the Russian virus.

After all of these years, no link between China and CoV2 virus was found[1][2]. Evidence points out that virus was originated few months earlier (September-October 2019) and outside of China. Wuhan was first city where CoV2 meet Swine Flu, which raised both infection rate and death rate (from 1.1% for CoV2 and 0.1% for Swine Flu to 5.4%).

Evidence points to Russia, where major incident happen at Sep 16, 2019[3] "Vector" BSL4 lab in Koltsovo (Novosibirsk), where unprotected first responders entered BSL4 lab and stole lab equipment. Then virus transferred to Wuhan by Chinese military police after joint training with Russian military in Koltsovo few weeks later after the incident.

Ukraine broke out of Russian Empire and then conquered back by Red army, then conquered Republics of Ukraine and Belarus together with Russian Federation formed USSR.

So, yes, Ukrainian communists were with those soviets, who murdered other Ukrainians (and other enslaved nations), and then their siblings have nostalgia about «good times».

Many eastern europeans who had good life in soviet block have nostalgia, however, Ukraine fights with all it power to prevent returning back to soviet block, because majority have very unpleasant memories of soviet times and dozens of millions murdered by soviets.

This is exactly what users wants in this case: someone need to check a package and mark it as safe to use.
Why not to create a separate list of verified package versions for most popular packages, AKA «stable» channel?

Use stable channel for typical packages, use bleeding edge channel for some specific packages only.

Latin script creates lot of confusion in mixed environments. For example, even native speakers of English language, major language of the world, have no clue how to read aloud random texts written using Latin alphabet.

Ukraine is in Europe. You mean, to better align with Germany?

Ukraine is the Russia (882-1237), Russian Empire and Russian Federation are Russian.

It's like to say that Britain must adopt Cyrillic to move away from USA because they both use English language. :-/

Dumb question — can LLM be used to reverse-engineer firmware blobs or binary only drivers for Linux, to create open-source drivers, for example, for unsupported smartphones?
China will get the raw data (user sessions), because users will use China models instead.
LOL Kinetic energy increase quadratically for sub-relativistic speeds only.

Kinetic energy

E = (m * v^2)/2 + (3*m * v^4 )/8*c^4 + (5*m * v^6)/16*c^6 …

and so on, so kinetic energy increases infinitely faster than speed, thus it impossible to reach c, because it requires infinite amount of kinetic energy.

Why? Because of rules of wave propagation.
