政法大学“要分” 事件|时务经世 - 朝圣山之思学人社区 - powered by phpwind.net
- 9月5日，中国政法大学2007级必修课程《中华文明通论》成绩在校园网上公布了。因为成绩普遍偏低，短短几天之内，课程组负责人郭世佑接到07级同学的电话、短信与电子邮件多达两、三百人次，超过他调入法大5年来学生提问次数之和。内容几乎无一例外要求加分。紧接着，“法大BBS”上出现了对课程组教师的攻击，甚至怀疑教师们的“人品”。

Students Using Speed Cameras To Frame Other Kids | Techdirt
- In general, we have trouble with things like speed cameras and red light cameras -- both of which don't tend to do much of anything to make the roads safer (rather, there's evidence that they lead to more accidents). The reality is that they are really about boosting revenue for local governments, not about safety -- which explains why plenty of places have been found illegally changing parameters to make them bring in more revenue.

Quest for Expertise « Disparate
- It takes ten years or 10,000 hours to become an expert in any field.
- More recently, during a keynote speech he was giving as part of his latest book tour, I heard a similar claim from presenter extraordinaire Malcolm Gladwell. AFAICT, this claim runs at the centre of Gladwell’s recent book: Outliers: The Story of Success. In fact, it seems that Gladwell uses the same quote from Levitin, on page 40 of Outliers (I just found that out).
- Many AI researchers and cognitive scientists have argued that analogy is the core of cognition. The most influential work on computational modeling of analogy-making is Structure Mapping Theory (SMT) and its implementation in the Structure Mapping Engine (SME). A limitation of SME is the requirement for complex hand-coded representations. We introduce the Latent Relation Mapping Engine (LRME), which combines ideas from SME and Latent Relational Analysis (LRA) in order to remove the requirement for hand-coded representations. LRME builds analogical mappings between lists of words, using a large corpus of raw text to automatically discover the semantic relations among the words. We evaluate LRME on a set of twenty analogical mapping problems, ten based on scientific analogies and ten based on common metaphors. LRME achieves human-level performance on the twenty problems. We compare LRME with a variety of alternative approaches and find that they are not able to reach the same level of performance.
EDITing in the Dark » 2009 Predictions
- Rise of mobile data/3G in Canada - we see mobile data as being very important everywhere else on the planet and come 2009, we’ll be less than a year away from Vancouver 2010. This means that we’ll have all manner of international handsets roaming around on the various networks starting in 2009. To make them happy, Canada’s mobile data network and rates will have to improve. But at least our data speeds are not that bad right now. Having more players in the wireless market will certainly help as well. It also seems that the telcos are pricing SMS rates way too high and this is going to lead to people using generic data instead - IM or other means of chat.
- Net neutrality and Copyright - boring topics that will come to the floor as changes here will impact the “utility like” perception that many people have of their broadband connection as well as the feeling that they should be able to do within the walls of their home what they want with that which they pay for (EULA be damned!).

Trend Blend 2009: A Map of Time and Tide ~ Stephen's Web ~ by Stephen Downes
- You have to love the diagram. What about the 'mega-trends' represented? "The mega-trends are: global connectivity, anxiety, volatility, uncertainty, debt, power shift eastwards, aging, GRIN technologies, digitalisation, climate change and sustainability."

eLearning & Deliberative Moments: Occupation: cloudworker
- Thanks to Janet Clarey's nod to Venkatesh Rao's posts about cloudworkers, a term he coined to replace the anachronistic telecommuter. But he went further and described an approach to life and work that is not locked into the institutions and rituals of the past. This fits my ambivalence to career, pursuing opportunities and interests rather than employment positions. A cloudworker does not need an office nor a title. But that doesn't mean I can't work for people I respect if I choose to do so (as I do now for my PhD supervisor as a researcher).
幽默的创作
- 不锈钢老鼠：当然不是。我是发起人，怎么可能是在网站上看到之后签名呢？不过很多网友都是在乌有之乡和毛泽东旗帜网看到《08宪章》之后签的名。
- 不锈钢老鼠：直言不讳的勇气和百折不挠的真诚，这句话用来形容他很合适。
- 不锈钢老鼠：这两个案例都是女生要在《08宪章》上签名，而男生或者不愿签名，或者反对女生签名，于是，女生就和他们分手了。

- 又扯了题外话。回到那段视频，台词的执笔者实在烂得可以，虽然今年闹了很多外交笑话，但类似“天朝”之类的用语至少会是外交部懂得规避的。倒是那句“打满补丁的大船”，不知道怎么想出来的，是来自《白毛女》之类的电影，还是看了《时代》周刊1963年某期的封面？
