   As far as I know, yes. The most critical component—the Uranium-235 core—was finished in 404. In Part I, I mentioned a legendary machinist named Yuan Gongpu. He was tasked with the final precision turning of the core on a lathe. It’s famousl

   Thank you for sharing that. Our hometowns were built as means to an end—political or military missions—rather than places meant to last for people. To us, it was our entire world; to the state, it was just a tool. That’s why our personal me

   I promised a few people yesterday I’d share Part II today. First, thank you to Tom (Moderator) and this community for the incredible reception of Part I. My English writing is still limited (IELTS 6.0), so Part II is also a sentence-by-sent

   Update: Part 2 is out now on my Substack. I will submit it as a separate post on HN later today once this thread cools down, to avoid spamming the front page. But for those asking, here is the direct link: https://substack.com&#x

   I published this in China, they didn't bother me, so I hope it's fine here.

   I asked AI where should I publish my article, it said Medium at first. I submitted to illustration and 10 days later, the article is still pending review right now. So I ask AI again, what should I do? It says HN is the best but also toughe

    It is no coincidence. In a secluded and tightly-knit community like Plant 404, an extreme event like this would immediately spread throughout the entire area. The author you mentioned is Li Yang. We know each other, and our parents know eac

    It's published in China many years ago, and it's nonfiction. I just used AI translate to English. And can you make up something to cater HN, like nuclear power stuff?

    The first version was translated by google and it's wordy, sometimes doesn't make sense, so I used Gemini this time. I sent the first version to many people and no one could finish it ;)

    It's a coincidence.It’s defined both a digital void and my childhood home is the kind of irony.

    I thought 418 was something similar to 404, and made a stupid joke. Sorry again.

    Thank you so much! I feel LLM is perfect to making web slop, that's really a pity that the smartest thing is doing the worst job.

    When I first write this in Chinese, they didn't censor anything, just let me published without question.The first guy wrote this been called by phone, they said it's secret, but nothing happened later. Before I published here I ad

    Thank you so much! I hope LLM didn't ruin the vibe, so I edited many times, but still, english is not my first language, so it probably still "looks like AI". I will try my best and I will post part 2 on Monday.

    I don't think I'm criticizing Western narratives. This is simply my personal perspective and experience growing up there.

    Yes I used AI to translate. You said "Specific parts that sounds implausible",and the second part is more unbelievable, I can only guarantee it's nonfiction.
