Let's call it "Westerners blaming China to feel better, while they all get the virus anyway". Seems to be Western-style policy in a nutshell right now.

If you call saving millions of Chinese people despicable, it sounds like you're to be despised.

The cake isn't cooked yet, but Western governments are already eager to play the blame game, while China got on with getting results. Nearly zero new cases. Contained to Hebei.

You've been reading fake news... and worse, believing it. They're not pushing a conspiracy theory. They're taking a victory lap.

The comments about it being a bio weapon are from the FM, who is just volleying back Pompeo's comment about it being the "China virus". That's all it is. Tit for tat. If you believe everyone in China is obsessed with blaming the US for the virus origins, or, worse, that Chinese people believe it's a bioweapon, you're wrong, sorry.

They contained a crazy new pathogen in the biggest country on Earth, they don't need to play the blame game, and domestically their media is taking a victory lap. It's just revealing of Western incompetence, and insecurity that Western media is fanning these blaming narratives.

If you want to make me feel better, I thank you. Start by admitting your pro-Western propoganda does not tell you what's really happening in China.

> The narrative in China right now...

Because there's one narrative in China, folks, and this douchebag knows what it is.

But seriously, don't buy what he's selling.

The only narrative China needs right now is its victory lap. It's nearly stopped new cases. Xi visited Hebei/Wuhan.

The comment above is wishful thinking of the highest order, and perfect projection. It's Western media and nincompoops like this clown who seem to need to play the "blame game"

China got on with solving the problem. Now they're taking a victory lap and responding to requests to help overseas. The Chinese, if they are blaming anyone, are not blaming foreigners for this, they're blaming the Hebei provincial authorities for their initial mistakes in handling it.

Because they've been successful at containing a virus in the largest country on Earth, they don't need to play the blame game. It's slow-to-act and complacement Western-style governments that are in desperate need of a finger of blame to point at anyone but themselves.

Drop the China bashing. If we're going to criticize any government on this issue, we need to criticize all of them.

Was there really any government without guilt or incompetence in their handling of this?

Really nobody who in any way delayed taking steps, nobody who in any way sat on information, nobody who in any way instructed a certain type of scale of coverage in an attempt to minimize panic?

Let those without sin cast the first stone.

But actually, I think the "blame game" is bullshit.

Everyone should just be like, "Holy crap, this virus doesn't care about what passport you have, we all need to just work together on this."

Good to see people contesting the blame narrative here, but better if we didn't promote this news at all. This is a highly technical site, surely there's a chance to share articles about studies, algorithms, ways data scientists/programmers/bioinformaticians can get involved, pool resources, donate cloud time, etc.

This is not new information, but some newly released documents about an already known story: what happened to Tesla's materials after his death.

Yeah, it turns out "El Coco" was actually just an AI master.

It's centered on the island of Hainan. I want to know what the center of mass is for that picture, since the humans are not uniformly distributed in that circle.

I think speed can be improved further, by constructing a parallel version. Possibly, this would be similar to how BLAKE3 used Bao mode to parallelize.

Why has this not taken off? Off-the-surface gestures seem like they'd really enrich smartphone experience. I don't get why this low power proven tech has not been incorporated into phones. It's already 8 years old!
