Okay, so Desire Catcher.  Honestly, I wasn’t even going to watch it, just because hypnosis dramas aren’t really my thing (S.C.I does have hypnosis but it’s more of a police procedural and hypnosis doesn’t really play a big role (i mean it does but like...you know what I mean)).  Anyways, the minute I started watching it, I got hooked.

It’s really an amalgamation of a lot of dramas that I’ve previously watched, like Missing Noir M, Under the Skin, S.C.I., Psych Hunter, and a lot of other crime dramas that I’ve watched.  It’s also quite dark.  Like, it’s up there with Through the Darkness and Danger Zone dark.  I’ve made two posts about it (which you can find here and here with time stamps) but there are sexual assaults scenes so if that makes you uncomfortable, I’d skip it.  There’s also a scene where a character slits their wrist (post about it here) and while on dramacool it’s like, semi-blurred (like you can obviously tell that their wrist is slit), on viki it’s not blurred at all.  So if that’s triggering for you, you should probably skip it. 

But over all, I enjoyed the cases and how they related to the overarching case (you know me and overarching cases); I am in MangoTV’s walls for killing Xiao Liu (but I knew he was a goner the minute it started to rain and he ran off after the suspect; we all know that in police/crime dramas, the minute it starts to rain and you go after a suspect alone, you’re fucked); and uh...there were quite a lot of deaths.  Not quite up there in Killer and Healer territory but like...damn.

Also, the ending.  I really didn’t think Lu Fengping was going to be the one to pull the trigger but I’m honestly kind of glad he did.  I mean, he’s not “technically” a police officer so really, it worked around Bai Yaxing’s statement.  And I’m happy that it ended on a happy note, considering that this team was taking all the L’s since like the beginning.

Also, speaking of characters, Bai Yaxing is a motherfucker and I’m not mad he’s dead.  Do I feel sorry for him?  Yes.  Did he bring this upon himself?  Also yes.  As for Xia Mengyao...girl.  Girl.  I just...I’m not knocking any nurses or anyone who has depression because they’re in that field (because I know that shit gets depressing, I’m in fucking forensics, I work with dead people, that shit gets depressing as hell too) but like...you chose to go into that field.  You knew the consequences of what was going to happen.  And like...it’s really hard to feel bad for someone when you knew what you were getting into. 

As for Lu Fengping and Luo Fei...they are my annoyances to acquaintances to tentative friends to lovers, on god.  They truly are like Bai Yutong and Zhan Yao, but if Zhan Yao and Bai Yutong had a much more fucked up past.  Honestly, their past and how they’re connected and everything was so interesting...so interesting.  It was nice to see them grow and learn to trust each other.  Very nice.  Love to see it.

Overall, it was good.  I surprisingly enjoyed it

BL Prompts - Chapter 25 Links

Prompt from Lucy - I only know the history series tbh sorry. but as I see there aren't any stories about the last one yet, so Love in the Future for a change, where the office bullying goes a bit too far maybe.

Trigger Warning for Sexual Harassment

Kit/Ming Chapter

Prompt from KatrinkaRowan: If prompts are still open I'd be curious to see you let loose on either Ocean Like Me or Happy Ending Romance. :)

Prompt from Daunshama - Hello. I've thought of a crossover with Mr Unlucky and Cherry Magic. Naoya and Kurosawa are brothers. They are described very similarly in the shows I think (people fawning over them, good fortune at work/school etc). Can we have a story with them meeting each other's partners?

Prompt from MacReid - I have a prompt for S.C.I. Mysteries (just a by the way……have you noticed that you don't have the title for that series tagged in the fandom list? Only the two couples in the relationship tags) Can we have a story about Zhan Yao and Bai YuTong adopting Luo Yang. They each relate to the gifted boy in their own way?

The Mysterious World (天机十二宫) - N/A (ending ??)

Upcoming Dramas:

Dreaming Back to Qing Dynasty (梦回) - N/A (starting 12/14/19)

Disclaimer: Obviously these rankings are just based off of others’ opinions. I really liked “Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre” even though inseams the majority of people didn’t. Whatever show seems interesting to you, watch it! The majority of guzhuang dramas are made with delicacy and attention to detail. I’ve seen reviews complimenting some dramas with relatively lower ratings, so of course every drama has its fans. I would obviously suggest you all go and watch the top 5 if they sound interesting to you.

自然語言處理屆“奧斯卡”放榜 微信AI團隊9篇論文入選

（微信AI團隊參與研究的文章獲得最佳長論文獎，也是中國大陸第一篇最佳長論文）

參與研究文章獲最佳長論文

在2906篇投稿的激烈競爭中，“Bridging the Gap between Training and Inference for Neural Machine Translation獲得此次ACL最佳長論文獎項（Best Long Paper）。這篇文章研究應該如何橋接神經機器翻譯訓練和預測，是中國大陸第一篇Best Long Paper。

其作者分別來自中科院計算所、中國科學院大學、騰訊微信、伍斯特理工學院、華為諾亞方舟實驗室。在中科院計算所對該項目的推動過程中，來自微信團隊模式識別中心的孟凡東，參與了實驗改進、部分優化技術、數據處理、論文修改等相關工作。

AI團隊多項技術可圈可點

微信AI團隊在此屆ACL中的表現，充分證明了微信團隊在AI領域所積累的專業實力。據了解，微信AI團隊保持著小而精的團隊規模，成員幾乎全部來自國內外頂尖高校的碩士或博士，並一直保持著人才引入的高標準。

近年來，除了機器翻譯以外，微信AI團隊在許多領域都有讓人驚喜的嘗試。其中，孟凡東所在的微信智言團隊專注於智能對話和自然語言理解研究與應用，致力於打造“對話即服務”的理念。目前已支持家居硬件、PaaS、行業雲和AI Bot等領域，讓人與機器以最自然、最便捷的方式交流溝通。

而微信AI的另一知名技術品牌微信智聆，其語音轉文字技術每天處理超過4億條語音，語音識別正確率達到97%，並在微信語音輸入、語音轉文字、王者榮耀、QQ音樂等產品中都提供了技術支持。

此外，微信團隊還嘗試了一些小而美的AI技術創新，由微信翻譯團隊開發的人工智能圍棋程序PhoenixGo（簡稱“金毛”）曾在2018世界人工智能圍棋大賽中一舉奪得世界冠軍。

微信AI團隊一直潛心業務與學術研究，在業務中挖掘科研課題，在他們看來，業務與研究是相互促進的關係：“通過研究來發現更好的方法，最終結果也可以直接應用在業務中。”例如本次會議中的多項工作，已經進一步推動了對話系統、微信翻譯、微信讀書等多個業務場景的應用。

My 2017 BJD Wishlist

I made some actual progress since my last list. So here we go again. My priority is character shells and I’ve listed them in the actual order I’d like to get them, but knowing me there are times when I will throw it all to the wind and do what I want as impulsively as desired.

China continued its synchronized diving dominance, winning the second consecutive gold in the Men's synchronized 3 metre platform diving at the 2012 Summer Olympics.

China's Luo Yutong + Qin Kai (part of the gold medal team from the 2008 Beijing Olympics) decisively took first with 477.00, followed by Russia's Ilya Zakharov + Evgeny Kuznetsov with 459.63 and the U.S.' Troy Dumais (who placed sixth at the 2004 Athens Olympics with his older brother Justin) + Kristian Ipsen placing third and snagging the first U.S. medal since the inaugural event at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

Synchronized medal stand smiles!

Zakharov + Kuznetsov flipping out.

Dumais + Ipsen saluting.

OKAY

Fave bits from S4E9:

Qi Sijun: “I want to wish Wen Tao happy birthday”. *turns to Wen Tao like he’s gonna gift the binoculars to him. “Happy Birthday”.  *leaves with binoculars* 

WT, holding the box: “It’s too light. Can’t be a gold bar”.

QI SIJUN. TIED TO THE KITCHEN. AGAIN.

Shi Kai eating vegetables straight off the field like...please Shi Kai. How many health warnings do you need.

Cao Enqi and Qi Sijun both looking themselves up on Weibo: QSJ: “I had a new show and wanted to check the feedback”. CEQ: “I just do it out of habit”. PYX: “You can’t say that, if you say that you lose to him”

Cao Enqi admitting he looked Wen Tao up on Weibo to see his bday wishes. PYX: “He’s checking the feedback on Wen Tao.”

LYT: “After eating, you want to do sports, right?” QSJ: “You don’t understand us very well.” SK: “We don’t want to move at all. We want to lie down”.

Wen Tao wall climbing while Shi Kai is absolutely Not Calm on the ground.

The “that’s it?” moment after He Yunchen reached the top in 2+ mins.

Cao Enqi’s loudest sighs during wall climbing and everyone trying not to laugh

Kai Kai getting pretty much YANKED up the wall in the beginning. 

The hug A Pu gives Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi hanging onto it for just a second before his professionalism kicks in and he starts smiling again

Cao Enqi inadvertently locking himself and Qi Sijun together, and the whole convo that ensued ksdaljksjdlksj

Shi Kai’s tiny sounds of not knowing what to respond to Wen Tao’s questioning, but not wanting to show any weakness, when they were talking on the beds (most didi to ever didi)

Sharing clues!! Sharing clues honestly!! BEFORE BETRAYING EACH OTHER. JUST LIKE THAT

“We must be thinking the same thing, huh?” “Un.” 

Qi Sijun sings a well-known classic. I did not recognise the classic until they played the original right after his singing
