This is not good for nuanced Chinese tech terms, which rarely appears on Wikipedia. I tried a few terms that I have written about [1], but no relevant results

- thrdbndndn 4y agoGreat article! A small nitpick, I personally don't agree with > "Maidian literally means “embedding seeds” or “burying seeds”". Dian, literally speaking, should be point, and it's actually used similarly in English (e.g. 'break point') in this context (and the practice of maidian kinda resembles debugging process too).
- paradite 4y agoYeah good one. I think I actually had "points" originally but removed them for some reason. Maybe they make more sense as an individual word, but not in a phrase (burying points)? Will have to think about it further.
- zeckalpha 4y agoWould Chendian be similar to the English idiom of distilling ideas?
- paradite 4y agoYeah it is quite similar. I will add this. However, chendian lacks the "filtering" aspect of distilling.
- dejj 4y agoGreat! Can you add the Chinese sentences of the translation examples too?
- paradite 4y agoOh no. I think I didn't save the sources. Gonna have to find them again.
