That's the story of the WS-15. China believed the crazy T/W ratios the US published for the F119 and moved mountains "matching" it with the WS-15, and then the actual weight got revealed in

That story is like 90 percent myth, I'm sure Chinese engineers knew "proper" TWR of the F-119 engine and even then I doubt they'd actually care too much other than made have a general reference but overall WS-15 is made tailored to PLAAF specs and not trying to one up the F-119. The fact that some people are saying the US "falsified" TWR data on the F-119 is also another myth, F-119 do indeed have a TWR>9 without the square nozzles and I'm pretty sure most serious aviation enthusiast is aware of this fact. I mean unless your one of those fanboys no one actually thought F-119 is going to have a >9 TWR with that giant heavy TVC nozzle lol

If the Arabs build their own AI data centers, what models will they run on it? Either foreign models (closed source like OpenAI or open source like DeepSeek) or indigenous models made locally? What exactly is the upside if not to support locally developed models or open sourced models? If to support OpenAI models, why not have Sam Altman foot the bill for AI data centers like he does in US?

Indians are among the top three immigrant communities in the US with nearly 2.3 million Indians working there under various visa programmes. And these Indians account for one of the largest sources of remittances into India. In 2023 alone, they sent home over $23 billion.

This guy, and many palestinians, was celebrating Israeli bombing upon Hezbollah - only group fightning alongside PA resistance against israel - and AlQaeda takeover on syria - cutting only supply line over Palestinian resistance and getting them out there.

And one is supposed to question why you hold those stances, which are clearly contradictory to your own misery: BeCaUsE tHeY aRe ShIas AnD DeSerVed It

Just things of arab world. When I was a young left-winger, I always supported Palestinian groups. But when I got into this topic and learned deeply, I gave up my support and lost my sympathy toward them.
