Sejak minggu lalu New York Times meluncurkan serial proyek untuk menjawab pertanyaan: Bagaimana China melakukannya? Gimana bisa China melompat dr salah satu negara paling miskin ke posisi saat ini? Entah terjawab atau tidak, tapi bagus untuk dibaca.
nytimes.com/interactive/20…
Max Fisher mencoba menjelaskan proses2 yg dilakukan oleh proyek China Rules ini. Bisa dibaca di bawah.

Walaupun menurut sy, mrk blm benar2 menjawab, tetapi setidaknya cukup memberikan gambaran. Mmg pertanyaan ini susah dijawab...
nytimes.com/2018/11/24/rea…
Menurutku, Kaifu Lee, mantan boss Google China, yg mengikuti perkembangan booming high-tech disana, memberikan gambaran yg lebih komplit dalam buku2nya: Mukjizat China itu hasil gado2 antara karakter warga disana plus kerja birokrat yg cemerlang dan berani mengambil resiko.
Mis, Kaifu Lee menjabarkan bagaimana Guo Hong, birokrat di Beijing, single-handedly merancang dan merubah wilayah Zhongguancun Beijing menjadi Silicon Valley Utara.

*China punya bbrp Silicon Valley. Yg selatan di Shenzhen, tempatnya Tencent dsb.
Sebelum membuat proyek di Zhongguancun, Lee menceritakan bagaimana Guo Hong belajar, ingin tahu banyak tentang dinamisme dan mekanisme di Silicon Valley di San Francisco. Ngumpul2 ngobrol dgn banyak innovator, dan dari sana dia mengajukan proyek yg penuh resiko dan sukses.
Saat ini Zhongguancun terdapat lebih dari 9000 perusahaan high tech, bbrp puluh startup mencapai level unicorn (bernilai lebih dr US$1 milyar). Guo memulai kerjaannya thn 2010. Dlm 8 thn dia merubah wajah & kinerja Zhongguancun.

Hanya dlm bbrp tahun perubahan cepat sekali terjadi di China. Sputnik moment dlm bidang kecerdasan buatan terjadi thn 2016 / 2017, ketika juara Go China, Ke Jie 18 thn, bertekuk lutut dihadapan komputer AlphaGo dari Google, dihadapan puluhan juta pemirsa.
Pada saat itu, Ke Jie yg awalnya optimis, setelah bbrp jam gagal mengalahkan AlphaGo, dan akhirnya menangis dihadapan puluhan juta penonton.

Pada saat itulah, tetiba banyak sekali innovator, pemerintah, entrepreneur lompat masuk dalam bidang AI (kecerdasan buatan).
Oleh Kaifu Lee, moment spt ini dia namakan Sputnik Moment bagi China dlm bidang AI. Tetiba dukungan pemerintah thd pengembangan AI diberikan secara total, mrk sadar mrk tidak akan bisa survive di masa depan tanpa AI.

Inside2 spt inilah yg mungkin blm diulas oleh NYT.
Mengulas perkembangan ekonomi dan teknologi di China hanya berbasis angka2 statistik akan menghasilkan hasil spt para pundit2 sebelumnya, yaitu gagal. Negeri ini sdh mengecoh ratusan pundit2 dunia selama puluhan tahun.

Sehrsnya mrk mulai melihat dibelakang angka2 statistik.
Menarik dgn perkembangan AI di China, pabrik2 manufacture mulai tutup, tetapi tempatnya diganti jadi pabrik lain, yaitu pabrik dada. Laporan NYT juga bagus melihat bahwa salah satu faktor kesuksesan China dlm AI adalah tenaga kerja relatif murah untuk jadi buruh pabrik data.
Pabrik data dibutuhkan untuk mengajar sistem AI saat ini yg masih berbasis model jaringan syaraf. AI itu bodoh, perlu diajar manusia mengenali bentuk2, semakin banyak data dan interpretasinya (oleh manusia) semakin hebat kinerja sistem AI.
Apakah pabrik data spt ini akan secara masif pindah ke negara lain? spt industri garment? Kelihatannya tidak.. Sekali sistem sdh pinter, ya kebutuhan data tidak lagi terlalu penting. Dan ketika AI berkembang ke model lain yg lebih canggih, bisa jadi bkn berbasis data spt ini.

URUSAN TAIWAN & CHINA.

1. Oklah sy komen ya.. Urusan ribut2 Taiwan-China ini lebih ke masalah China-Amrik. Knp? Krn urusan Taiwan digunakan sebagai bargain chips bagi Amrik dlm menghadapi China, terutama dalam era Trump ini.
2. Pemilu pimpinan daerah November lalu menunjukkan kekalahan partai pemerintah DPP dlm menghadapi KMT. Itu spt referendum terhadap DPP yg mau independen, sedangkan KMT itu pro status quo.

Itu tandanya sebenarnya warga Taiwan ga gitu suka perubahan status quo.
3. Kenapa warga Taiwan ga suka merdeka saja? Atau ikut China saja? Knp mrk suka situasi spt sekarang ini?

Karena situasi skr MENGUNTUNGKAN bagi warga Taiwan. Warga Taiwan mendapatkan kemudahan spt berdiri di dua kaki, satu kaki di China, kaki kedua di Taiwan.

Beberapa hari lagi (jelasnya blm diumumkan), kalo Chang'e 4 berhasil mendarat di permukaan bulan sisi membelakangi bumi, pertama kalinya dalam sejarah manusia, kita bisa melihat foto dari dekat permukaan THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON. Moga2 sukses, menjadi awal baik bagi 2019.
Sisi bulan yg bisa kita lihat dari bumi berbeda karakternya dgn sisi sebelah lain. Sisi dekat bumi sdh banyak dijelajahi dan informasi ttgnya sdh banyak.

Sisi lain masih misteri, belum dijelajahi krn mmg sukar untuk kesana secara teknis, krn letaknya membelakangi bumi,
Selain u/ sains, apa kepentingan lain sisi jauh bulan tsb?

Krn ada hipotesis bhw di sisi jauh bulan ada banyak kandungan He-3, sumber energi masa depan. Ga tertutup kemungkinan penambangan energi akan dilakukan di bulan, membebaskan bumi dr ketergantungan energi fossil.

WARAS DALAM DUNIA PENUH PROPAGANDA

1. Thread ini berisi ocehan ttg propaganda disekitar kita, bagaimana mendeteksinya dan cara menyikapinya. Setidaknya berusaha tetap waras dalam dunia penuh propaganda, yg terus terang maupun yg tersembunyi.
2. Hampir tidak ada media di dunia yg lepas dari propaganda. Cuma, dilihat dari konten propaganda yg dihasilkan oleh media, ada 2 jenis media: Media propaganda aktif, dan media propaganda pasif.

Media propaganda aktif secara sadar dan aktif menghasilkan konten2 propaganda.
3. Media propaganda pasif umumnya cuma merelay konten propaganda, dan banyak dilakukan tanpa sadar bahwa itu propaganda. Umumnya media yg berpropaganda melakukan secara pasif. Mmg diperlukan sikap kritis dan pengetahuan untuk mendeteksi taraf propaganda satu berita.

THREAD: 2018 has seen a diversification of quality reporting and uptick in exposure of the mass repression of #Uighurs and other Turkic Muslim minorities in western #China, by media, academics, and civil society groups across the world.
.@RFA Uyghur Service should be commended for its long-standing and fearless reporting on the situation in #Xinjiang, way before the current human rights crisis began to unfold. See its reporting here: rfa.org/english/news/u…, esp. the series of interviews w/ victims/families.
Despite government restrictions, major international media outlets have produced several deep-dive investigative pieces, based on satellite imagery, interviews with victims and/or their families, procurement documents on Chinese government websites, and field visits.

1/OK, data mystery time.

This New York Times feature shows China with a Gini Index of less than 30, which would make it more equal than Canada, France, or the Netherlands. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

That's weird. Income inequality in China is legendary.

Let's check this number.
2/The New York Times cites the World Bank's recent report, "Fair Progress? Economic Mobility across Generations Around the World".

The report is available here: worldbank.org/en/topic/pover…
3/The World Bank report has a graph in which it appears to show the same value for China's Gini - under 0.3.

The graph cites the World Development Indicators as its source for the income inequality data.

"I really think that inadequate force projection in theaters of vital interest will create a bow wave inviting further deployments of gray zone tactics by near-peer competitors hoping to undermine the post-WWII liberal international order."
"But really, the Obama administration's refusal to enforce a red line on the use of chemical weapons set back American credibility a decade, based on my reading of New York Times articles regarding Chinese aggression in the South China Sea and a couple of FDD blog posts."
"The trouble is that greater burden-sharing with American allies and partners may lead us into the Thucydides trap, and only a naval force of at least 355 ships of varying littoral and railgun capabilities will be adequate to achieve full-spectrum dominance against China's A2AD."

19 years ago to day Hae Min Lee left Woodlawn high school and disappeared. Nearly a month later her body was found in Leakin park in Baltimore city. 3 years ago #Serial brought the story to the world. But there is much more to the story than Serial. Thread: 1/
Adnan Syed, 17, her ex, was arrested and convicted Of her murder. We have been fighting for 19 years to prove his innocence. Last year his conviction was thrown out but the state filed an appeal and we are now waiting for that appeal to be decided. Burn in hell @thiru4baltimore
Also last year I wrote a critically acclaimed, New York Times best selling book with contributions from Adnan. In this thread I will refer to portions of the book to talk about the things that were not covered by #Serial.
