I got a little baby boy so I couldn't edit in time. Apologies if the comment above doesn't contribute much to the discussion. I don't want to come across as irrational/delusional. What I wanted to convey is that through

When I was in Ireland studying my mentor told me a similar story. An old electric engineer was just tinkering his circuit board with his oscilloscope, he's so familiar with signals he can diagnose based on analogue information. My ment

I think quite the contrary, China has very limited interest in using propaganda to influence the western-sphere. I used to be very inline with these news but as my old friends from youth progress in their careers in China (many in those &#x

I work with scientific data but have to say I have a very shallow math background and also forgotten most what I learnt at school/uni. However whenever I click open the source for scikit-learn / high level code published in papers

I missed the era with flash though. I remember the original Gorillaz website which was a full flash-based game / exploration / gallery type of thing. It was so cool and I've not seen anything like that I ended up spending hou

I'm surprised that medical studies seem to happen in silos. The severity of adverse effect is well known in China during the 2003 SARS period. Dexamethasone is cheap probably due to the mass production of the drug in China in the early

I remember reading that post. Particular interesting for a chinese reader since the high impact visual style largely comes from the japanese kanji which strikes much more weighted than say someone who don't read chinese/japanese (

>Neural nets are mostly dominant in perceptual domains such as image or speech recognition, where the raw inputs represent a uniform sampling of data values (pixels, audio samples) over space and/or time. I mostly agree with that, h

In my opinion this type of tasks is the typical AI tasks that get most exposed to the general public. The AI/ML model is set to attempt a human task. The aspiration is to get as good as a human (or faster/better more precision etc

It's such a common theme that I see everywhere. I know the chinese population have been known notoriously nationalistic but having lived in Ireland in my early research years and it was just as bad (was the period when queen of Britain

It's sad to see a situation like this in the scientific community. The larger part of international chinese researchers are probably worried if this is spreading to non-US countries. Most of researchers I know returned to China in thes

It depends on the places you went. Cuisine where I'm from has a lot of sugar in the diet; however it might not be popular enough to be included in international asian restuarants. But I can't be sure as we don't really measur

If you live in China you will quickly realise the restriction of freedom of speech is quite limited. It actually became a phenomenon very recently (2010 onwards in my opinion). Even on highly 'scrutinised' Wechat there are many po

Don't get me wrong, of course I knew it's about regional control. But even the wiki entry acknowledges that religious freedom is different in different regions of China. Other regions don't have any restriction at all. Hence

I think there are field-specific differences. In biology / bioinformatics world the "high impact factors" journals are the norm for tenure or even confirmation of work. But highly influential computing related papers are rare

Don't want to sound I'm defending Zoom or CCP, but how does en masse surveillance work technically in this case? How practical it is to go over all the voice data (not manually I presume)? Text based mining and censoring is poss
