Following Jason Peng’s previous two meetings on Machine Learning and ChatGPT/Bard: http://yoyo.club.tw/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5021&sid=070a95fb6e481a6c5463686e0fc95ae2&p=34193#p34193 http://yoyo.club.tw/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5123&p=34544&hilit=Jason+Peng#p34544 Here comes his third hosting role at YoYo. ...

Sometimes I wonder if it's because we, as human beings, can communicate with language, we seem to lose much of our sensing ability. Recently, the health of my 91-year-old mother-in-law has been declining due to aging. There was a time when she couldn't speak, but she remained mentally alert. Communi...

A regulated business is still a business. It’s just the profit of this business is regulated, usually it has certain markups, but not purely decided by the market. As far as the wellbeing of patients and medical stuff priority is concerned, I think they both are covered under the big umbrella of “hu...

In my opinion, it's common sense: medical behavior should NOT be viewed as merely a provider-consumer relationship. Rather, it should be considered a “highly regulated business.” Essentials for survival should not be subject to the pure forces of demand and supply, nor should they be determined sole...

Those who like to torture themselves can find all sorts of ways to do so, such as enrolling in undergraduate and graduate Electrical Engineering programs while working full-time. :wink: Of course, joining, and especially organizing, a book club is definitely one of the most hopelessly naïve thoughts...

If a travel agency claims that slum tours contribute financially to a better life of slum communities, one might question the extent of their commitment to genuinely helping these areas. Given the commercial nature of the tours, there arises a paradox: if the slums were to significantly improve and ...

Life has never been easy, has it? We all strive to showcase our best, most perfect selves to the world. It’s easy for us to encourage others to stay positive, and optimistic, and to open up should they face any challenges in their lives. Yet, there have been many times when I couldn't handle issues ...

For Q5, I am certain that Vipassana (內觀) is no stranger to many YoYo members. It’s a form of meditation practice; a way to help people see things through self-observation. Personally, I view Dopamine fast or detox as new terms for old concepts. Addiction is nothing new, but what people are addicted ...

In Taiwan, we seem to face completely opposite issues. Our students are overprotected, and spoiled; kids feel they are entitled and as if the world should revolve around them. Teachers seem to become “caregivers” without appropriate authority. So, it might be a good idea to station a “strict” police...

When we hear about campus shootings in the US, our reaction is no longer “shocking”. Instead, we just feel “numb”. The feelings of surprise and dread have long gone simply because such incidents happen too frequently. What thoughts come to mind when people hear this kind of news? I think most people...

But when I was searching on the internet, I was kind of hoping to find some evidence to support me. When I found it says no, I was less happy on the new knowledge learned but more unhappy on my idea corrected. This case clearly and cruelly shows that I am not open-minded and should think twice or t...

Trying to cover an entire book in one YoYo meeting is no small feat, especially with a book as rich in key points as this one, where every argument requires you to “Think Again”, or think trice before it registers in your brain. At first glance, “Think Again” is similar to our familiar proverb, “Thi...

Firstly, I do appreciate the topic, but it doesn't necessarily mean I concur with the speaker's conclusion or the myths he/she presented. Often, when hearing or saying, 'It has been so busy...', the underlying tone is a form of 'pride.' It is usually a 'happy complaint,' a 'bittersweet sentiment,' a...

“Bribery” is a nice and easy topic for most of us. Without breaking a sweat, we can probably come up with many colorful tales from our own experiences or from someone in our social circle who witnesses bribery in action. In my community, some residents act as the middleman for the builder. They are ...

Delivering a successful presentation really boils down to getting your messages across, as simple as that. First and foremost, if I’m the presenter, I need to take a long, hard look in the mirror and ask myself: What are my messages? What's my main point? If I'm 'shooting in the dark' or can't even ...
