So instead I built this little library which helps myself to model LLM-based behaviours with good old functions, branches, and loops.

Currently this only works for TypeScript but I intend to expand to at least Rust and Python which I also use.

My primary take-away from the the journey is that my wanderlust is finally satisfied. After a year, I stopped moving because, travelling isn't that fun at that point. I want to build large things and have long-term relationships, which is difficult when you are a rolling-stone.

I would certainly encourage my kids to do it when they've got the opportunity. But it's likely that I wouldn't do it myself in at least a decade.

Anecdotally, the triad worships Guan Yu with black shoes while the police worships him with red shoes.

Latin is standardized against the writings of the classical authors, and to a lesser degree, the medieval authors. These authors, being dead, can't change.

Take your comment as example: excluding the Anglo-Saxon words, 5 are directly from Latin and 2 from French:

Latin words: Latin, Latinus vocabulary, vocabulum directly, directus via, via erudite, eruditus

French words: French useful

English is well "alive", and living implies mutation. In 500 years, our children would be reading our English as we read Shakespeare (that is, with difficulty); and in 1000 years, our English would become what Beowulf looks like today (that is, you can't recognize a word).

Latin doesn't change. Caesar's Latin is Vulgate's Latin, which is Newton's Latin, which is the Pope's Latin, which is the Latin used in Harrius Potter et Philosophi Lapis and Winnie ille Pu.

What is dead may never die. The "English" as we know it will die. Latin will not.

Batman has huge wealth and advanced technologies and the best way he can come up with to fight crimes is beating the "criminals" up himself, rather than contributing his power to improve the economy (or run for an office to change policies or whatever) to prevent people from having to commit crimes. No wonder there're always more crimes for Batman to fight...

As a founder of a tech company based in China, I benefit from US companies blocking Chinese (and Russian) engineers; still I am saddened by this. I hope they could come up with more intelligent policies to protect their OPSEC.

Exhibitions were primarily organised by countries, which tend to be more particular about some specific culture than visionary about the future.

The theme was "Better city, better life" (subtly different than the Chinese version, which was "Cities make life better"). Technologies demonstrated are far from cutting edge, something like internet-connected air conditioners and large touch-screens.

I think either the Danes or the Dutch put some bikes in their exhibition, which you can ride and feel what it's like to ride in their cities, which is rather fun (a precursor to the current VR hype perhaps?).

The current practice is really a dimension-reduction, where a N×2 matrix [(CN, TW, HK, SG, MY...) × (simplified, traditional)] collapsed into a 2×1 vector (TW, CN).

The language labels should have been `zh-hans` and `zh-hant` if one means to differentiate the writing systems, and not the underlying linguistic variants.

According to Beijing government, Taiwan absolutely exists, it's just that it is not a sovereign state. Hong Kong has been handed over to China for more than twenty years and people in Hong Kong continue to use zh-HK – Beijing government seems to be OK with that.
