The cover photo was taken last week during a walk in the office park after dinner. The combination of green trees, glass, light, clouds, and fitness is beautiful. I especially love this shade of blue; it makes me feel happy.

Life Tip: Carrier-level spam call blocking
China’s major carriers (Unicom, Mobile, Telecom) all have free system-level harassment call blocking. it’s simpler than installing an app—you can enable it directly via their WeChat accounts. I’ve found Unicom’s to be good, though some report that China Mobile’s can be over-aggressive, so use with discretion.

Random Notes
Book Recommendation: “The Worlds I See” by Fei-Fei Li
https://book.douban.com/subject/36672955/
I’ve been reading Fei-Fei Li’s memoir “The Worlds I See” lately. I’ve been waiting for the simplified Chinese edition, and it’s finally here. it’s so well-written—it feels like hearing a neighbor or friend tell their story of growing into a top scientist. it also provides a great look at the history of AI. A rare, literary scientific memoir.
