Howdy folks,
It’s Deepavali weekend. Bright lights and good food have taken over Singapore. Here are the finds that kept me curious this week:
- MADE IN CHINA A designer hopes to change people’s perceptions of China as simply a place of mass manufacturing, and look further into the families and children behind the commerce.
- CHIPS vs TEMPLES Taiwan's land squeeze pits advanced chips against ancestral temples.
- FANDOMS FIGHT Taylor Swift and BTS superfans are rallying against Argentina’s far right.
- CATS Behind Japan's curious obsession with cats.
- ROBOT LINGO By blending 2D images with foundation models to build 3D feature fields, a new MIT method helps robots understand and manipulate nearby objects with open-ended language prompts.
I hope you find whatever lights your life and pay more attention to it.
