Machine Learning and Its Current State

The goal of machine learning is to let computers possess the ability to learn. Just like human.

Through training, humans can “understand” an object. And the computer scientists are also trying to bestow this kind of ability onto computers. Hoping that, one day, AI can truly manifest as intelligent programs.

Commercializing Education? NO.

I’m a strong advocator against commercializing education. As things that would most likely benefit the public should be as free as possible and as reachable as possible.

Education, healthcare, necessity food etc. Things that can go non-profit should just go non-profit.

Education, knowledge for everybody in other words, should be a public service. However, it’s been quite obvious that many people nowadays are still charging people for insane amount of fees to access these knowledge. ...READ MORE

Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture … As Huxley remarked in Brave New World Revisited, the civil libertarians and rationalists who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny “failed to take into account man’s almost infinite appetite for distraction.” ...READ MORE

Disconnection

Tonight when I walked in a 7-Eleven shop in my local town, a “foreign” person caught my attention.
