@JohnChungEnLiu @ThijsVelema Good title but EMI for the prosperity and survival of the nation? That seems an overreach to me. I hope a video can be circulated after the talk.

Why healthcare cannot—and should not—become data-driven, despite the many promises of intensified data sourcing.
Data Paradoxes: The Politics of Intensified Data Sourcing in Contemporary Healthcare by Klaus Hoeyer is now available 👉 bit.ly/3oiuyBN

@royngerng A laissez-s’enrichir, I would argue, that creates a greater and greater gap between the richest and the poorest and will eventually kill democracy itself. See the US and the UK for example. The subsidised utilities does make a difference with other countries, but is it enough?
English
The next Taiwan government has to take seriously many of Taiwan's social and livelihood issues such as housing prices—for many of these issues, Taiwan performs very poorly. The laissez-faire governance is breaking down many aspects of Taiwan's society.

@cityofsound It’s too bad there aren’t any online links anymore. It’s a small effort for easily reaching and creating a community of architects in the the global south.

Six years later, it’s nice to go back to the @EadResearch with a paper on Transitioning Fitness Habits into Sustainable Practice. It was fun to research and to write with an old student.

@culturaltutor Nice tweet, I would recommend the excellent book Unless about the ecology of construction and what we can learn from Seagram, this is more important (actar.com/product/unless/).

Have you ever wondered why the world is full of glass skyscrapers?
It's because of this model for a skyscraper in Berlin that was never built.
It may look ordinary, but that's the point. This model is more than 100 years old...

Taichung can feel very far from the rest of the world but today we were blessed with a new production of The Cherry Orchard (La Cerisaie) by Chekhov with Isabelle Huppert. Thanks @NTT_Taichung for bringing Avignon to us, what a gift !

Brilliant presentation by @MCoeckelbergh for the 'The AI-ELSI Challenge - From the planetary dimension of surviving the Anthropocene’. Particularly glad to hear that we should move from the issue of freedom to the creation of common. What would be the role of AI in commoning ?

@DigitalTwin @ultraleap I wouldn’t call this interior design, at the very best, this is object manipulation by design. You guys need to meet people outside of your field.

Mixed reality can offer an unforeseen dimension of creativity. This #interiordesign demo is built with Unity’s #HDRP. All 3D models react realistically to virtual light. Interactions are implemented with @Ultraleap #handtracking.

We’re excited to take over the @DigitalTwin account today! It’s @jtkarhu here. What to expect 👇
Highly realistic #virtualtwins, tips & tricks for #VR and #XR development with @varjodotcom, and the most mind-blowing #mixedreality demos you’ve seen.
Are you ready? 😎

@helloitisSam @shu_wang_gong Interesting perspective on AI but isn’t saying that ai are biased like saying humans are sentient ?
English
In my latest for TaiwanPlus, I take a look at algorithmic bias and whether we need to be concerned about the future of Chinese-language A.I.
TaiwanPlus News@taiwanplusnews
Taiwan's science minister plans to develop an A.I. chatbot to tackle anti-Taiwanese bias in Chinese-language systems. @helloitissam takes a deeper look and asks whether "neutral" A.I. is possible.

@johnthackara Much rather use ontogenesis these days. Still fighting for the simplification of language ?

Without checking, do you know what the word 'ontologies' means?

@GeorgeMonbiot Not yet in the 60 club but in the 27/01 club,
Happy birthday!
English
To my astonishment, I’m 60 today. I didn't expect to make 30: it was nearly curtains so many times. I owe my life to remarkable luck, friends, family, the NHS and, on one occasion, a total stranger on the road.
English
@yanchen00 @MrPecners Very interesting, where did you get the data ?
English
Road safety in Taiwan is notoriously bad, which cost thousands of lives annually. Dense population, bad driving habits, and poor road design worsen the problems. The map shows the traffic accidents that happened in 2021. The style is heavily inspired by @MrPecners.

@johnthackara No group should be left behind, true but don’t we have the same goals and isn’t sustainability an issue that requires negotiation and the planning of transition. I don’t think his idea forbids the later.
English
Phew: I've muted George Monbiot - a self-appointed white expert who's determined to impose "commensurate solutions" on the rest of the world. He won't (or can't) listen to the voices of 900 million women for whom cows are their only livelihood.
George Monbiot@GeorgeMonbiot
I'm very excited by the launch of this campaign. At last the green movement is recognising the scale of the harm livestock farming is doing to the planet, and proposing commensurate solutions. Please join our webinar on Wednesday to find out more. Details in the next tweet.

@AngelicaOung Sounds fascinating, do you remember the name of the documentary?
English
This reminds me of a fascinating French documentary I saw where they literally put a tracker inside a milk jug and then recycled it at the supermarket. Then they followed it...across the world...

@ShellenbergerMD @grantadever As a chemist, I generally doubted that plastics can be recycled, unless there's a big bunch of a single kind of plastic. Which does not happen in home recycling. I have been throwing them in the garbage, not wanting to waste water on cleaning them for ?Recycle?

@trickytaipei Whether it’s tunnel vision or crosswalk blindness we are dealing with, I’m not sure that’s going to help, unfortunately.
