I'm not an evolutionary biologist. I merely want to pass on his comment. He studied the viral genome segments inserted in human genome. I can pass that question to him if you want.

My colleague, an evolutionary biologist's comment on this: the virus is unlikely to prevail if manually tweaked since evolution does such an amazing job that it's very unlikely it alone could dominate and infect large populations.

Thanks for recommending. Well that'll be a nice video idea :)

Similar experience to yours. European history didn't constitute a majority of the history lessons in my old days but one can understand that (there is a lot!). I'm certain the quality of education back then in China weren't u

We were not educated enough about this particular history in China but when I grew up I read a bit to know most of it. But I'm shocked it wasn't well known internationally. I find the same situation in Ireland complicated as well

Well there is more nuance than that. Firstly the feedback may not seem similar in appearance to western democracies (demonstration / public statement etc), but there are lots of protests (many violent) hence the vast monitoring system.

I'm certainly no expert but I do enjoy this genre. 東野圭吾 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keigo_Higashino is the latest author I read about who has won Edogawa Rampo Prize. His writing has a typical feel of the eerines

For EVA I had quite an interesting experience. When I watched it I streamed it but was dubbed in cantonese. I can only understand a little but still need to rely on chinese subtitles. The tone of cantonese is of course different from the or

I think effect size is a very useful tool if you know some odds a priori. E.g if you can compare the effect size with some known features/variables. It can then give you a rough feeling how true it might be. If the features are small a

I think it's more meaningful to have the discussion in a specific problem domain since statistical inference or ML are just tools to better model a problem / phenomenon. The domain (prior) knowledge -- everything else that's

It's a bit different from expert systems or knowledge bases IMHO. To my limited knowledge in the medical imaging field feature engineering is still very much a trusted tool (experts tuning systems based on their domain knowledge). htt

Censorship is bad, no one is doubting that, the majority of chinese people would agree with you (and loathing as before). See the strong backlash from banning yyetss https://www.reuters.com/article/china-video-piracy-id

I share your sentiment. I couldn't agree more with the funny and sad cipher text. Zhihu could have been a good site for idea exchange but it too became obvious a target. I was very envious of online forum culture in Taiwan such as PTT

I can not verify your claim since I don't play Kingdom Hearts. That's exactly my point; if the issue is very trivial then over-iterate on it seems a bit sensationalist. Official censoring some posts and 'chinese-cut' ver

I'm not sure it's censored for the reason you've stated (the mildest 'threat' part). But I take your point. The censoring regarding June every year is a very different story. I just hope I can contribute to a more m

Well it's definitely not censored on social media: https://s.weibo.com/weibo?q=%E7%BB%B4%E5%B0%BC%E7%86%8A&wvr=... Even if it was slightly true it must have been incredibly insignificant hence my skepticism. My poi

I'm really skeptical that's true.... Winnie the Pooh is such a popular theme in products in China, I've never heard anything remotely close to such a ban....

I agree with you. I transited from computing to drug discovery. A lot of projects attempt to harness the power of ML but there still seem to be a lot of misunderstanding. A lot of the time the valuable ML methods are supporting / assis

That's very interesting. However I am not sure whether being middle/upper class has any association with being able to speak english. Frankly I don't think there is a class distinction in China (despite an economic one maybe)
