Trump is the luckiest president of all time. He will inherit a robust economy. He is free to harvest the fruit of his predecessor or wreck it. It's his choice.

I recently met an anthropology professor at a university in London. He told me that his faculty is at risk of closure due to low student enrollment.

Today, I came across this conversation about the decline of literature and its impact on democracy and moral values:

The chromebook tablet Lenovo IdeaPad Chromebook Duet 11 Inch with MediaTek Kompanio 838 is now at the lowest price on Amazon UK (£239). Cheaper than its previous iteration!

Based on my experience with the previous gen with weaker CPU (Snapdragon 7c) I can only recommend this Chromebook tablet.

The AI-generated images, videos and contents on YouTube annoy me a lot. Added to it the messy automatic translation of audio language. It's really a mess.

Thank God that Google is doing something, as it will demonetize such contents. 👍

Gaza war attracts all the media attention, but there are other wars which are as tragic.

While Russia continues its indiscriminate killing in Ukraine, the war in DR Congo has killed 7,000+ and displaced 600,000+ in the same time frame.

Not only AI can hallucinate, it seems to be able to lie and fabricated things too, as Sky political editor Sam Coates found out. He only became suspicious of this because ChatGPT gave him transcript of his conversation in the future (!).

I was surprised this morning when I saw "a Tesla" approaching on the street. It looks like a Tesla, however it was actually a BYD car!

Hmmm... more and more there are BYD cars on the street in London.

Since his election, His Holiness has carried a profound message of peace.

Peace sustained through understanding and perseverance.

"Go ahead and argue, break a few plates... that's quite normal but never do it in front of the children, and try to make up before the day is over. Because the real danger is that of the cold war the next day." (Hope, 87)

RIP Pope Francis. May your words stay with us.

This year I learned:

Consult medical professionals, not conspiracy theorists, for health advice;
Turn to scientists, not religious leaders, for scientific inquiries;
Engage with religious scholars, not particle physicists, for spiritual questions.

'The unity of one who listens and respects is the only weapon we have against "deforestation", and in the first place the cutting down of hope and conscience.'
