The Luminous

Is this the end of my blog? I think NOT! In the future, I might use this blog to share my life story, I might use this blog to share my opinion about certain topic, I might use this blog to analyze some drama or movie, such as Game of Throne or Black Mirror. But before this, I need to make sure that I have free time for the blog. From the schedule so far, I do not have free time for any creative thinking activity. I would love to make video blog about my own though, I would love to write a song about my life, I would like to write a story about a magical world with different creature, I would love to share my opinion about the movie or drama that I watch. The problem is do I have time for that?

Identify a minimum of 2 things you l earnt from our class this semester that you can apply in your daily life. Explain and/or describe what these 2 things are and why they are important to you. (You can write about more than 2 things if you wish).  Through this Critical Reading and Thinking class, I learnt the way to decide whether information that received can be accept or believe or not. First of all, if we received information from reading material, we should always check the source of the data to determine if the information is reliable or not. For example, we can check the author of the article or check the credibility of the website to determine if the article is reliable or not. Secondly, we should carefully read the material and determine if the article is trying to persuade the reader in some direction or not. If the article is not neutral, think about what is the motive of the article. Always ask our self, will the author get benefit if the reader follow the directio...

After completing your class participation assignment, what is your view of speaking up in class? Did you learn anything from this assignment ~ has it changed your mindset or behaviour in any way? Do you think speaking up in class is important? Why or why not? If you think it is important, why do you think our Malaysian education system does not encourage speaking up?

One day, you feel so lonely and dry ( or maybe you are just feel like want to try this technology because why not?), therefore you download an dating apps. This dating apps use matchmaking algorithm to find you a "perfect" partner. This is the result: (Spoiler alert! Spoiler alert!) Will you trust this result? Before this, we need to know how dating apps with matchmaking algorithm work. In a nutshell, matching algorithm use a tons of codes and formulas to convert data input by user into vectors, and measure two closest or similar vectors.  Immediately we found the weakness: Life is not just math and formulas, life is full of possibility and can hardly described by math equation! How about if we make  copies  of our self and other people in a simulation, and see if they will be together or not. The result might be much more accurate than math algorithm.  In black mirror, after user key in all the data that asked by the apps, the dating apps not ju...

They even checked the price of the bitcoin before they present their research, this shows that they were well-prepared for this pre...
