KangKang’s Intelligent Identification System

Since KangKang recognized his mom and dad at the first time, we have known his Intelligent Identification System(IIS) is working.

And we also know his IIS has been improving along the way.

One night, we brought KangKang out to the playground.

The moon was full and rose just above the tree. The silver and transparent moonlight spread over the playground.

Our KangKang saw the moon. He stood still, looking at the beautiful moon. He was captivated by the beautiful moon.

Slowly, he lifted his hand,pointed to the moon and said,

“A….SUUN….”

“Oh … good boy, that is …. not so wrong. ” The grandpa is always considerate to his grandson.

Indeed, both the sun and the full moon are round, so we were very happy that KangKang’s IIS was functioning.

He was about 1 year old then.

I discovered his IIS had improved a lot after one month.

KangKang had a penguin doll, called Huanhuan(欢欢). KangKang liked Huanhuan.

One day, I was working at my computer when KangKang was peeking at the monitor. He saw this picture,

From Kidzone

He immediately pointed to the screen and spoke out,

“Huanhuan!”

That’s interesting! I wanted a further test.

I shown him this cartoon on my cell phone.

IloveU

He kept giggling, “Huanhuan, Huanhuan!”

Amazing! It seemed that an 1 year old boy’s image-identifying system is better than any supper computer’s in the world.

So the new brain-computer-interface technology from Columbia University looks really promising in image-identifying. And I am convinced that similar brain-computer-interface technology can be applied to other Artificial Intelligent System too.

I decided to try out more. I shown him this logo on my computer,

100px-Apple-logo

“Apple!”

No sweat. That was one of his favorites.

“What is this?”

Microsoft_Windows logo

“en…”

Not a surprise. Everyone knew what were needed to install Microsoft software. KangKang needed some upgrades in his hardware to recognize that.

KangKang’s IIS works on many other things too.

If his stool is normal, he calls it banana. If it is dry, he calls it grape.

And for his pee, he says, “That’s fruit juice!”

All are things he loves to put into his mouth. His IIS definitely has not yet extended to olfaction at that stage.

Recently, KangKang’s mom has read a comic on mushroom to him.

One day, when KangKang was taking a shower, he suddenly fingered his little bird and laughed,

“Hey, a little Mushroom!”

That’s …. not so wrong.

    八卦丘-田事件 1 Gossip about Qiu-tian incident 1

    想不到维基百科上那么快就有人把丘-田事件重新整理了,看来有很多人关心这件事情。 如果北大教授丁伟岳项武义炮轰丘成桐讲话实录是真的,那么这件事还不只是几个大腕吵吵架那么简单,还牵涉到国家几亿元的问题。 把维基百科上的文字转摘过来,补充了几个链接,而且还加了本地链接。

    Joost,五万个DVD画质的在线电视频道!

     一早就收到Isaac发给我的Joost的测试邀请。原来Joost的来头不小,它是Janus Friis和Niklas Zennstrom这对黄金搭档的又一惊人之作。 Janus Friis和Niklas Zennstrom是Kazaa和Skype的创始人。他们把Skype卖给了eBay,拿了26亿美刀后没有跑去沙滩晒太阳,休长假。去年他们就秘密开始了一个叫威尼斯的计划,目标是要把电视搬到网上。 这个威尼斯计划就是现在的Joost(念Juiced)。最近和YouTube闹别扭的Viacom却与Joost签了约,为Joost提供电视节目。世界最大的电视节目代理JumpTV据说也快要跟Joost签约了。 和YouTube不同,Joost播的全是电视节目,没有用户上传的功能,走一个不同的路线。 现在Joost上的节目不多,但预计10年内它就能吸引到5万个电视频道转播。 初步试了一下,用户界面不算复杂。也许国内网络的原因,画面有停顿,不过可以暂停播放,等下载完再看。画质确实很不错。 我想对Joost最担心的应该不是YouTube。Joost如果成功了,有多少人还需要买卫星电视节目,还需要装付费有线电视? 在客厅了装一台大屏幕的电脑就行了。

    会说一口完美英语的梁朝伟

    康康他妈是梁朝伟的粉丝,昨晚在香港赶着去看了一场《色。戒》,回来跟在电话上讲她的感觉。 “恩,一部有情节的三级片。” 我明白她说的三级片是什么意思,既然标题是以“色”字开头的,也没有什么奇怪的,只是新加坡这边还没开映,她这么说不是吊我胃口吗? 在网上扫了一些有关《色。戒》的资料,其中有一篇很有趣。 美媒体赞梁朝伟是最伟大演员 赞其英语完美无暇 搜了一下,原文应该是这一篇ComingSoon.net的采访, Exclusive: Chinese Superstar Tony Leung 关于伟仔的英文水平,原文是这么说的, “…he spoke perfect English, which isn’t always the case with Chinese filmmakers and actors we interview.” 知道伟仔演戏好,没想到他的英文能得到这么高的评价。很想知道鬼佬所说的Perfect English是怎么回事,就又到网搜了搜,找到了伟仔在2001年为电影《2046》接受的英语采访:  在这次采访里,主持人对他英文口语的评价是”Fantasty!”–极好! 真想不到伟仔的英文口语这么好,比我们中国常驻联合国代表的英文口语都要溜。 据说,伟仔小时家境贫寒,没有留过洋。在新加坡那么多年,我知道要一个土生土长的中国人练到那样的口语水平有多困难。那么这样的真正的双语本事是怎么炼成的呢? 伟仔说他是在幼儿园学的。 也许是开玩笑,但并非没有道理。人在小时候能接触到不同的语言对以后掌握多种语言很有帮助,新加坡,瑞士,这些国家的人很小就接触多种语言,这些国家的人通常都能说多种语言。 看来我要抓紧时间努力教康康英语了。

    给iPhone挑刺

    在煎蛋那读到不喜欢 iPhone 的十个理由,虽然没有还用过iPhone,可是看到它那种种功能演示,实在太喜欢了,只好根据自己的一些经验评论一番,画饼充饥。 1- 低速的移动网络。EDGE 属于2.5G,最高速率是100Kb/s,比澳大利亚的电信 GPRS 拨号还要慢。拥有 1.8Mb/s 的 iPhone 也是徒劳。2- 电池寿命短。很遗憾,iPhone 只能提供5小时通话/上网/发送邮件或者是16小时音频播放。所以,虽然 iPhone 有那么多激动人心的功能,但是你随时随地给它充电,在家里,在车里,或在办公室里…3- 内置式电池。只有早期市面上才会出现那些不能更换电池的手机,既然 iPhone 的电池寿命相当短,当需要一个新的电池时,谁愿意把他们手机送到到APPLE公司去维修?当iPhone电池用完时,难道用户又回到老式的NOKIA?4- 触摸屏。尽管苹果公司轻视别的公司是小塑料键盘,但是不可否认即使是世界上最好的触摸技术,也可能是手机最脆弱的环节。5- 数据运算量过大。“黑莓”手机受网络用户推崇的原因是它使用了大量的数据压缩和优化技术,用起来方便流畅。iPhone 复杂的功能反而会给基本的使用带来麻烦。 [比如要接电话时它死机了?]6- 只有200w 像素的摄像头。虽然手机无法替代数码相机,但是,索爱手机上已经出现320w 像素的摄像头了。7- 专有配件。这样会强迫用户使用它们华而不实的服务。比如 iPhone 仅限使用 Yahoo 邮箱,但是如果用户喜欢用 Gmail 或者其他的邮箱呢?8- 没有 iChat 视频聊天。苹果的手机产品竟然没有配备这个软件,岂不是浪费?9- 手机网络由 apple 指定。这样一来,其他地区/网络的用户要使用 iPhone 就得求助于第三方手段来解除锁定了。10- 只有 8GB 的存储空间。 一个产品无论设计得多么好都不可能让所有用户满意。就我自己使用电话的经验来说,也许第2,3点和第10点会令我考虑不要iPhone。 电池寿命短,而且不能换电池,也就是说旅游的时候不能带两个电池换着用,那么如果要去个偏远点的地方就不能用iPhone了。 另外,iPhone的8GB储存空间看起来比一般电话要多得多了,可是要充分利用iPhone Video的功能,从iTunes下载多些Video的话,这8GB肯定是不够用的。很多人iPod 30GB都嫌少了。而且据说iPhone没有存储卡扩展槽,看来iPhone并不能用作常用的随身媒体播放器。 iPhone的目标客户应该是随时可以在车上,公司里或家里都能给iPhone充上电,偶尔用iPhone看看短片,20岁以上的美国高端用户。
