This is true of current gen air combat, but I'm speculating about a future where dogfighting once again becomes the only way to achieve air superiority.

Oh I never said it would be humans piloting the sixth gen dogfighters. They're gonna be drones designed to withstand sustained 20G turns to be able to get their guns on target, commanded from something like an AWACS.
Stealth becomes obsolete
Missile defenses get better
BVR combat becomes basically impossible
Everybody always knows where everybody else is
Sixth generation fighters Retvrn to being purpose-built dogfighters/interceptors
Left that unchecked, I've got 16gb ram so I don't think that was the issue
This is true of the consumer market, but the OP asked about governments, and 90% of government computers in China run Kylin or NeoKylin, with plans to consolidate the two into a single os. This follows the overall trend of China's tech sector seeking to replace imports (and copied versions of foreign tech) with fully domestic alternatives.
From the very beginning of this LLM craze, they've been talking about replacing teachers with it. I suspect they're going to ham slice their way into education one precedent at a time until every child gets their entire education through an iPad that talks at them with the Microsoft Sam voice (unless you're rich, elite private schools won't go anywhere near this stuff).
This reminds me that I'm writing a story about a witch and one of the first things that happens is that she pisses off the mushrooms and they tell the trees not to talk to her. I should get back to that.
The thing is that Rowling hadn't really thought it through yet. Having the hero save a slave is pretty clearly heroic and good, and it's a nice way to wrap up the Dobby story arc, but then the fans were all like "wait WHAT!? there's slaves under Hogwarts!?" and she was forced to think it through, and it turns out JK's pretty awful so the result of her thinking it through was to make it worse.
I do wonder how many people got hoodwinked by the film and then went to read the book only to be hit with an entire textbook of lectures from a libertarian.
Ready Player One I guess. There's a big difference between seeing a fuckload of pop culture artifacts on screen and reading multiple pages of somebody rattling off their knowledge about them. The worst part is that RP1 doesn't even really engage with the culture it utilizes in any kind of interesting way, it's all just surface level references that you'd learn from reading Reddit comment sections where people quote memes at each other. The movie on the other hand kind of makes it work because the pop culture artifacts aren't dwelled on, they're used more like an aesthetic choice, while the main focus of the movie is on its paint-by-numbers plot.
for "foreign interventions" I would do something like, "10 million killed since 1947" vs "ended Apartheid" instead of what you got there.
More like a prediction.
