I’m curious to see the most frequently used words in the alphabet.

Why don't they use land transport? After all, China and Russia share a long land border.

I live in China, and the only building I know that has more than six floors but no elevator is in Chongqing, because it has another walk-in entry in the middle. The vertical distance between the entry and the destination is still fewer than six floors.

Seems like this guy died right before he publish his masterpiece, what a pity.

New comment by gaoryrt in "Kucha"

gaoryrt — Thu, 28 Aug 2025 09:49:53 +0000

Last year during the National Day holiday, I went on a road trip through southern Xinjiang. Kuqa (or Kucha) was one of my stops since it’s the starting point of the famous Duku Highway[0].

Before visiting the Kuqa Museum, I had no idea about the history of Buddhism and Islam in Xinjiang. The government also has a very “official” definition of that history, lol.

The landscapes were incredible, and I wrote a few blog posts about the trip (in Chinese)[1].

No. I think the appearance of life on Earth was the result of a long series of coincidences. If even a small part of that had been different, life wouldn’t have emerged.

I’ve come to believe in the Great Filter theory more and more in recent years.

Why go throught the extra solar -> electricity -> resistive heating -> soil instead of directly doing solar -> heating a metal rod -> soil?

Cutting out the conversion steps should be more efficient.

I believe people are more inclined to trust what they actually see, so I’d suggest you go there and see for yourself. For me Xinjiang is much safer than Gaza.

I’ve traveled to Xinjiang three times in the past five years — a beautiful and mysterious region. The term “genocide” feels somewhat ridiculous to me.

If your parents aren't related, nor their parents, the 30th-generation(roughly 600–900 years depending on generation length) ancestor group size is 2^30, which is about 1.07 billion.
