A software developer and Linux nerd, living in Germany. I’m usually a chill dude but my online persona doesn’t always reflect my true personality. Take what I say with a grain of salt, I usually try to be nice and give good advice, though.

I’m into Free Software, selfhosting, microcontrollers and electronics, freedom, privacy and the usual stuff. And a few select other random things, too.

  • Get emotional about something. And you’re done. You’ll likely go on and on with some ramblings about that.

    The other thing is writing coherently and with some structure to the text. That just takes practice. But platforms like Lemmy are a good place to practice your skills. I imagine it to be difficult to start, though. You need to find some topic. Something you have to say something about, a bit of knowledge. And ideally it’s something you care about. So you have some incentive to put in the work. Writing it down properly just takes time and a bit of practice. At least for most people.













  • Yes, both. Some of the sources like 15 and 18 are duplicates and don’t match with the dates of the articles I find when searching for the title in Chinese… And I mean I’d expect some large meeting to maybe have an english name, or at least someone else having translated it and showing up on google. Links or DOIs would help. But there aren’t any in the references. Additionally, the references section is titled incorrectly as “Notes” and the whole article is a weird crossover between the format of a scientific paper and a journalistic article. (And a bit repetetive in phrasing.)

    I can’t read chinese so my abilities are limited. And I don’t know what kind of search engines are used for (scholarly) articles whithin China. I doubt it’s Google.

    The whole thing seems a bit fishy to me. Though, I’m pretty sure the PRC is doing reasearch in using AI for warfare. They have that (investing in AI for the CCP’s motivations) on their agenda for quite some time now. And they’re investing a huge pile of money into AI, dystopian surceillance tech and machine learning tools for the police. All of that isn’t disputed.
