Chandra measurements of gas homogeneity and turbulence at intermediate radii in the Perseus Cluster by Martijn de Vries et al. on Monday 21 November We present a Chandra study of surface brightness fluctuations in the diffuse intracluster medium of the Perseus Cluster. Our study utilizes deep, archival imaging of the cluster core as well as a new mosaic of 29 short 5 ks observations extending in 8 different directions out to radii of r_500 ~ 2.2r_2500. Under the assumption that the distribution of densities at a given radius is log-normally distributed, two important quantities can be derived from the width of the log-normal density distribution on a given spatial scale: the density bias, which is equal to the square root of the clumping factor C; and the one-component turbulent velocity, v_(k, 1D). We forward-model all contributions to the measured surface brightness, including astrophysical and particle background components, and account for the Poisson nature of the measured signal. Measuring the distribution of surface brightness fluctuations in 1 arcmin^2 regions, spanning the radial range 0.3-2.2 r_2500 (7.8-57.3 arcmin), we find a small to moderate average density bias of around 3% at radii below 1.6r_2500. We also infer an average turbulent velocity at these radii of v_1D

Establishing the accuracy of asteroseismic mass and radius estimates of giant stars II Revised stellar masses and radii for KIC 8430105 by Jeppe Sinkbæk Thomsen et al. on Wednesday 12 October Asteroseismic scaling relations can provide high-precision measurements of mass and radius for red giant (RG) stars displaying solar-like oscillations. Their accuracy can be validated and potentially improved using independent and accurate observations of mass, radius, effective temperature and metallicity. We seek to achieve this using long period SB2 eclipsing binaries hosting oscillating RGs. We explore KIC 8430105, for which a previous study found significant asteroseismic overestimation of mass and radius when compared with eclipsing binary measurements. We measured dynamical masses and radii for both components to be significantly lower than previously established, increasing the discrepancy between asteroseismic and dynamical measurements. Our dynamical measurements of the RG component were compared to corresponding measurements of mass and radius using asteroseismic scaling relations. Uncorrected scaling relations overestimated the mass of the RG by 26%, the radius by 11%, and the average density by 7%, in agreement with studies for other systems. However, using a theoretical correction to $Delta nu$, we managed to obtain an asteroseismic average density that is $1sigma$ consistent with our dynamical result. We obtained several measurements of $nu_{max}$ that are not fully consistent. With $nu_{max} = 76.78 pm 0.81mu $Hz, the $Delta nu$ correction provided $2 sigma$ consistent mass and radius for the giant. The age of the system was estimated to be $3.7 pm 0.4$ Gyr. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2210.05410v2

Combined Effects of f R Gravity and Massive Neutrinos on the Turn-Around Radii of Dark Matter Halos by Jounghun Lee et al. on Monday 26 September We present a new statistics based on the turn-around radii of cluster halos to break the dark sector degeneracy between the $Lambda$CDM model and the alternative ones with $f(R)$ gravity and massive neutrinos ($nu$) characterized by the strength of the fifth force, $vert f_{R0}vert$, and the total neutrino mass, $M_{nu}$. Analyzing the rockstar halo catalogs at the present epoch from the {small DUSTGRAIN}-{pathfinder} $N$-body simulations performed for four different cosmologies, namely, $Lambda$CDM ($vert f_{R0}vert=0$, $M_{nu}=0.0$eV), fR6 ($vert f_{R0}vert=10^{-6}$, $M_{nu}=0.0$eV), fR6+$0.06$eV ($vert f_{R0}vert=10^{-6}$, $M_{nu}=0.06$eV) and fR5+$0.15$eV ($vert f_{R0}vert=10^{-5}$, $M_{nu}=0.15$eV), which are known to yield very similar conventional statistics to one another. For each model, we select those cluster halos which do not neighbor any other larger halos in their bound zones and construct their bound-zone peculiar velocity profiles at $z=0$. Then, we determine the radial distance of each selected halo at which the bound-zone velocity becomes equal to the recession speed of the Hubble flow as its turn around radius, and evaluate the cumulative probability distribution of the ratios of the turn-around radii to the virial counterparts, $P(r_{t}/r_{v}ge alpha)$. The degeneracy between the fR6 and fR5+$0.15$eV models is found to be readily broken by the $10sigma_{Delta P}$ difference in the value of $P(alpha=4)$, while the $3.2sigma_{Delta P}$ difference between the $Lambda$CDM and fR6+$0.06$eV models is detected in the value of $P(alpha=8.5)$. It is also found that the four models yield smaller differences in $P(alpha)$ at higher redshifts. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2209.11609v1

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Hessian and Basin volume, published by Vivek Hebbar on July 10, 2022 on The AI Alignment Forum. Thanks to Thomas Kwa for the question which prompted this post. Note: This is mostly a primer / introductory reference, not a research post. However, the details should be interesting even to those familiar with the area. When discussing “broad basins” in the loss landscape of a DNN, the Hessian of loss is often referenced. This post explains a simple theoretical approximation of basin volume which uses the Hessian of loss. Suppose our minimum has loss=0. Define the basin as the region of parameter space draining to our minimum where loss < threshold T. Simplest model If all eigenvalues of the Hessian are positive and non trivial, we can approximate the loss as a paraboloid centered on our minimum: The vertical axis is loss, and the horizontal plane is parameter space. The shape of the basin in parameter space is the shadow of this paraboloid, which is an ellipsoid. The principal directions of curvature of the paraboloid are given by the eigenvectors of the Hessian. The curvatures (second derivative) in each of those directions is given by the corresponding eigenvalue. Radii of the ellipsoid: If we start at our minimum and walk away in a principal direction, the loss as a function of distance traveled is L(x)=12λix2, where λi is the Hessian eigenvalue for that direction. So given our loss threshold T, we will hit that threshold at a distance of x=√2Tλi. This is the radius of the loss-basin ellipsoid in that direction. The volume of the ellipsoid is Vbasin=Vn∏i√2Tλi, where the constant Vn is the volume of the unit n-ball in n dimensions. Since the product of the eigenvalues is the determinant of the Hessian, we can write this as: So the basin volume is inversely proportional to the square root of the determinant of the Hessian. Everything in the numerator is a constant, so only the determinant of the Hessian matters in this model. The problem with this model is that the determinant of the Hessian is usually zero, due to zero eigenvalues. Fixing the model If we don't include a regularization term in the loss, the basin as we defined it earlier can actually be infinitely big (it's not just a problem with the paraboloid model). However, we don't really care about volume that is so far from the origin that it is never reached. A somewhat principled way to fix the model is to look at volume weighted by the initialization distribution. This is easiest to work with if the initialization is Gaussian. To make the math tractable, we can replace our ellipsoid with a "fuzzy ellipsoid" -- i.e. a multivariate Gaussian. Now we just have to integrate the product of two Gaussians, which should be easy. There are also somewhat principled reasons for using a "fuzzy ellipsoid", which I won't explain here. However, this is only somewhat principled; if you think about it further, it starts to become unclear: Should we use the initialization Gaussian, or one based on the expected final L2 norm? What about cases where the norm peaks in the middle of training, and is smaller at the start and finish? If we have an L2 regularization term in the loss, then the infinite volume problem usually goes away; the L2 term makes all the eigenvalues positive, so the formula is fine. If we have weight decay, we can interpret this as L2 regularization and add it to the loss. For a relatively simple approximation, I recommend the formula: Where: Loss is the unregularized loss λ is the amount of weight decay (or L2 regularization 12λθ2) c=k/σ2, where σ is the standard deviation of the initialization Gaussian, and k is a constant on the order of unity. I have not calculated the theoretically most appropriate value of k. For a crude model, k=1 is probably good enough. T is the loss threshold. If you really care about...

Sometimes, what you need when solving a crossword is a FRESHSETOFEYES. Well, good news, because in today's crossword, they're already there, as in the answer to 116A, New look provider ... or a homophonic hint to this puzzle's theme.  Specifically, there are multiple answers with an extra set of I's and whose removal leads to a completely different answer. For instance, 23A, Meticulous magical beings?, THOROUGHFAIRIES, with the I's excised, becomes THOROUGHFARES. Most ingenious. In other parts of the puzzle, Jean got momentarily naticked* at the corner of 22A, To love, in Italian, AMARE (not AMORE), and 17D, Straight sides of sectors, RADII (not RODII), whereas Mike had an issue with 31D, Agitate, ROIL (not RAIL) crossing 34A, Three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver in the New York Jets Ring of Honor, ALTOON (not ALTOAN). Still, both dug in, and managed to dig their way out of this delightful puzzle, definitely a 5 squares on the JAMCR scale.*stymied by unfamiliarity with two crossing answers

At the time of recording, Roz Coleman was the International Company Manager of the immersive theatre experience “Sleep No More” in Shanghai. This has given Roz a unique appreciation of audience responses in different countries and cultures, and during our short chat she shares some great observations about human behavioural traits in China. The obvious irony is that our discussion covers audience behaviour in environments where people are crammed together and inhabiting each other's space. Well of course that's not what we're experiencing now in February 2020, with most facets of everyday life on lockdown in China. I hope that my chat with Roz will be a good reminder that our current situation is only temporary. Roz Coleman's object: A set of keys. Listen to the episode to find out why.

This episode of Digitally China is about Brian Wong, his experiences from being part of the early days of Alibaba but at the same time also a story about how it was to first-hand be part of how China grew from almost nothing to the largest internet market in the world. The location is a hotel in San Francisco, the year is 1999. The internet hype is in its peak. United States at this moment have over 100 million internet users, 10 times more than the much larger country in the East, China. While his friends are leaving school to join the company that seems to be the next big thing, Google, Brian is instead meeting a fairly unknown entrepreneur at that time with the first name Jack who enthusiastically is talking about his company, Alibaba. As many of his friends on the west coast of the US, he believes that technology will change the world. But instead of staying in his hometown and the Middle Kingdom of innovation, Palo Alto, he moves to Hangzhou to work with e-commerce in country that barely have internet users. In this episode we're listening in on Brian's story, reflecting on the learnings from the growth of the Chinese technology sector, what we can learn from it and how it will impact the rest of the world.Guests:· Brian Wong, VP at AlibabaHosts: Tom Xiong & Eva XiaoProducer: Jacob Lovén & Katarina AnderssonDigitally China is a subjective but independent depiction of the tech scene in China.

Den Digitala Drakens säsongspremiär är en intervju med Brian Wong, vice president på Alibaba. Platsen är San Francisco, året är 1999. Internetfrenesin är i full gång och USA är den dominanta marknaden med nästan 100 miljoner internetanvändare, mer än 10 gånger fler än det stora landet i öst. Utan att veta om det, är det ett möte i en hotellbar på västkusten i USA som ska forma Brian Wong’s liv de kommande 20 åren. Medan flera av hans kompisar hoppar av sina läkarstudier för jobba på det där företaget alla viskar om, Google, så sitter Brian istället mittemot en då helt okänd entreprenör med förnamnet Jack som entusiastiskt berättar om sitt nya företag Alibaba. Brian tror på att teknik kommer att förändra världen - men istället för att stanna i sin hemstad Palo Alto, mittpunkten för innovationen, väljer han att flytta till Hangzhou för att jobba på en liten e-handelsstartup från en lägenhet med våningssängar som personalen sover i. I ett land där knappt någon använder Internet. Brian berättar sin story och ger oss en unik återblick från insidan av Kinas techscen.

In the latest Digitally China we're looking back on history. Meituan-Dianping is China's clear market leader within group buying, offline discovery and online-offline services today. But it wasn't that clear a few years back. In fact, the opposite was true, with the American giant Groupon entering China backed by a powerful partner in Tencent. In a hyper-competitive environment, there were suddenly thousands of group-buying services all fighting for the position that Meituan has today.For a sense of what that time was like, we interviewed Tim He, who was a senior executive of Gaopeng, the Chinese subsidiary of Groupon when they entered the market. Tim, who took a break from Harvard to go back to China to take on the daunting task of trying to win in such an enormous, sprawling market, takes us through some of the incredible stories from that exciting period.As a seasoned investor at one of Europe's most renowned venture firms, Kinnevik, Tim also reflects on learnings from the Chinese technology sector as well as the success factors behind today's “super apps” of China.Topics covered in this episodeHow Groupon entered the Chinese marketThe group-buying industryHow to operate in a market with thousands of competitorsWhat lessons can you learn from China that are applicable for Western markets?The success factors behind super app companies such as Meituan-Dianping, Alipay and moreGuests:· Tim He, investor at Kinnevik and previous senior executive of Gaopeng, the Chinese Groupon.Host: Tom XiongProducer: Jacob Lovén & Katarina AnderssonDigitally China is a subjective but independent depiction of the tech scene in China.

When it comes to buzzwords in the tech industry, "new retail" ranks high on the list. For the past few years, Alibaba has popularized the catchphrase to describe smarter, more high-tech ways of serving customers in brick-and-mortar shops -- by linking online and offline data -- from facial recognition-powered payments to smart mirrors that lets customers "try on" cosmetics before buying them.But beyond the shiny add-ons that consumers see, the real impact of new retail - especially for physical stores -- is more invisible: the supply chain and inventory.In this episode, we'll piece apart what new retail actually means for brick-and-mortar shops, why ecommerce platforms are moving offline, and how traditional brands are trying to catch up with JD and Alibaba before they get left behind.Episode summary: what is "new retail" and why are ecommerce platforms so gung-ho about it?case study: how the fashion industry -- where customer demand is volatile and products are always changing -- could really benefit from new retailwhy are traditional brands struggling to streamline their physical shops and are Alibaba and JD solution providers or competitors?Guest: Sicheng Peng, general manager and president of 7thonline APAC,Hosts: Eva Xiao and Tom Xiong.Production: Jacob Loven.Digitally China is a subjective but independent depiction of the tech scene in China.

A few weeks ago, in December 2018, Tencent Music did their highly anticipated IPO on the New York Stock Exchange valuing the company to $21.3 billion. Often being described as the "Spotify of China", we're looking into what Tencent Music actually is and what they might represent for the future of music, globally.With a user base of more than 800 monthly active users and revenue of around $2 billion the detail that has impressed the most is their profit margin of 20%. Or actually even the fact that they, as a music streaming company, even are able to turn a profit.In this episode we'll go through what Tencent Music is, how they are different compared to Spotify, if they can influence the global music industry and hypothesise about why they didn't merge with Spotify, something rumoured earlier in 2018.Episode summary: What is Tencent Music and how come they are profitable?What are the differences between the music industry in China and the west?Music streaming as a part of a music ecosystem - will we see the same development outside China?Asia - the future battleground - what will happen?Guest: Jonas Leijonhufvud, journalist at DI Digital and currently writing a book about Spotify.Hosts: Eva Xiao and Tom Xiong.Production: Jacob Loven.Digitally China is a subjective but independent depiction of the tech scene in China.

One of the most hyped up words of 2018, AI or Artificial Intelligence has lately been portrayed as something that can enslave the human kind by everything from tech founders (Elon Musk) to tv shows (Black Mirror). This week's episode we have a special guest, Nicholas Young, to talk about this topic. Understanding what AI actually is, what it is used for currently, how the future will look like and discussing if we actually already are enslaved to AI. Nicholas Young is an entrepreneur running the fintech startup Karakul based in Shenzhen. Born in the United States, Nicholas moved to China to pursue his passion around entrepreneurship and tech. He has held multiple product and innovation centric roles in China after finishing MBA at Stanford University with the most recent being leading the innovation team within the AI department of JD.com, China's second largest e-commerce company. Throughout the episode we will:Clarify what AI actually means and what it is used forThe impact of AI on society, user behavior and our dependency on Social MediaThe future of AI, if Elon Musk is right and questioning whether we maybe already are enslaved?Digitally China is a subjective but independent depiction of the tech scene in China.

In a country where WeChat rules supreme, Bytedance is attempting the impossible. Last month,the Beijing-based startup launched its own social networking app called Duoshan.It wouldn't be the first time Bytedance has made larger, more established tech companies nervous. It runs TikTok, a video-sharing app that has quickly grown popular worldwide -- a rare feat for a Chinese tech firm -- inspiring Facebook to launch its own competing app called Lasso.The startup has also already started butting heads with Tencent. Last year, the heads of both companies became embroiled in a public spat on WeChat, where the Bytedance CEO accused Tencent of copying Douyin -- the Chinese version of TikTok -- and blocking it in WeChat to slow its growth. A few months later in a separate case, Tencent sued the startup for 1 RMB ($0.15) for defamation.As large tech firms solidify their monopolies around the world -- Google dominates search, Tencent owns social -- it is becoming increasingly difficult for newcomers to challenge tech giants on their own turf. So will Duoshan be successful? And is Bytedance the company that can finally break Tencent's hold on social?In this episode, we'll discuss:The promising features of Duoshan -- and their disadvantagesChina's younger generation and the appeal of disappearing videos or “stories”Bytedance's AI edgeBytedance's success with TikTok and foray into gaming, another important business for TencentGuest: Ashley Dudarenok, founder of Alarice International, a Hong Kong-based digital marketing agency that focuses on Chinese social media.Hosts: Eva Xiao and Tom XiongProduction: Jacob LovenDigitally China is a subjective but independent depiction of the tech scene in China.

Together with Jonas Leijonhufvud and Sven Carlsson, the authors of a new book telling the inside story about Spotify and the fight for global dominance in music streaming we are discussing if ByteDance actually have a shot at beating the giants.ByteDance, the company behind the huge International success TikTok, or Douyin as its called in China is really on the offense. Fueled by the position as the 3rd most downloaded app in the world 2018 and a valuation of 75 billion dollars, ByteDance have recently both announced plans to enter messaging to directly compete with Tencent and Facebook as well as launching a smartphone. And now, reported first by Bloomberg ByteDance seem to have far advanced plans on getting into music streaming to compete with Spotify, Tencent Music and Apple Music. Already positioned among hundreds of millions of teens around the world with a short video and music app - this actually doesn't seem that crazy.

Chinese telecoms giant Huawei is one of China's largest success stories in tech.No other domestic tech firm has been ae to grow its business overseas around the world and beat the competition the way the Shenzhen-based company has, despite keeping a relatively low profile.But over the past six months, Huawei has found itself increasingly in the limelight and under puic scrutiny. After the arrest of one of its top executives in December and an escalating trade war, the Chinese telecoms company has become a symbol for both China's technological rise and ambition -- and the threat that poses to Western countries like the US.To take a closer look at the company -- at a more human-scale -- we decided to dive into the people and unique ‘wolf' culture of Huawei, from its dark history of employee suicides to inspiring “war” stories, where company staff brave earthquakes and civil war to serve clients.So what makes the company tick? How does it produce both die-hard loyalists and Huawei-haters? In this episode, we explore the following topics:Huawei's management system and how it worksFounder Ren Zhengfei's influence on HuaweiMilitaristic Huawei slogans and sayingsCompany training and “boot camp”The trade-offs of a “wolf” cultureHost: Tom Xiong and Eva XiaoProducer: Jacob LovénGuest: Shen Rui, an ex-Huawei employee who worked there 2011-2015Digitally China is a subjective but independent depiction of the tech scene in China.

Corporate offerings such as secondary listings and IPO's from Chinese tech companies are accelerating. This year alone we have seen 161 such events, which is already 72% of entire last year. Why do Chinese tech companies turn to public markets to raise capital? Why are the Hong Kong stock exchange increasingly popular? And how does the domestic Chinese stock market fit in all this for tech companies? In the latest episode of Digitally China we are interviewing the co-host of China Tech Investor podcast James Hull to get an understanding of the latest trends and what all of this means for Chinese technology companies. Topics covered during this episode:The rush to IPO from tech companies around the worldDifferences between Hong Kong and US public marketsThe future of domestic public listings in China Hosts: Eva Xiao and Tom XiongGuest: James Hull, founder of HullX and co-host of China Tech Investor podcastProducer: Jacob LovénDigitally China is a subjective but independent depiction of the tech scene in China.

In China's fast-growing tech industry, it's easy to focus on exciting new products and businesses while overlooking one of the most important elements of any company: the talent.Inthis episode, we look at how the recruiting process at Chinese tech firms does -- and doesn't -- differ from that of multinational firms, and how China's new wave of tech professionals view their career options.EpisodeOutline:Incentives/disincentives for working at multinational firms vs. Chinese internet companiesThe importance of 996 or working overtimeProbation and the concept of “hire fast, fire fast”Unstructured vs. standardized hiring practicesChina's gender discrimination proemGuests:Vincent Wang, a senior associate at executive recruiting firm Atkins & AssociatesBen Jiang, who runs the India bureau of Krasia, an Asia-focused tech media platform A Zhen, a product manager and team leader for front-end development at a Shanghai-based internet companyHosts: Eva Xiao and Tom XiongProducer: Jacob LovénDigitally China is a subjective but independent depiction of the tech scene in China.

Companies around the world are latching onto social commerce, but in China, where mobile payments are ubiquitous and consumers are extra wary of fake goods, the integration between social media and online shopping has been especially fast. That doesn't mean it's a silver bullet for brands though -- or even the multi-billion dollar internet celebrity industry, where influencers are tasked with advertising products without appearing too commercial.In this episode of Digitally China, we'll discuss Xiaohongshu or RED, which is often compared to Instagram and Pinterest. The fast-growing app, which is popular among young, female urbanites in China, has over 85 million monthly active users and is valued at $3 billion following a $300 million funding round last year led by e-commerce heavyweight Alibaba.But the e-commerce side of RED is still behind more price-conscious competitors like Pinduoduo — and the app hit its latest roadblock earlier this week, when it was pulled from Chinese app stores.We'll cover some of the challenges the app is facing as it tries to grow its e-commerce business – monetizing its vibrant user community -- and manage the thousands of influencers on its platform.

Corporate offerings such as secondary listings and IPO’s from Chinese tech companies are accelerating. This year alone we have seen 161 such events, which is already 72% of entire last year. Why do Chinese tech companies turn to public markets to raise capital? Why are the Hong Kong stock exchange increasingly popular? And how does the domestic Chinese stock market fit in all this for tech companies? In the latest episode of Digitally China we are interviewing the co-host of China Tech Investor podcast James Hull to get an understanding of the latest trends and what all of this means for Chinese technology companies.

Chinese telecoms giant Huawei is one of China’s largest success stories in tech.No other domestic tech firm has been able to grow its business overseas around the world and beat the competition the way the Shenzhen-based company has, despite keeping a relatively low profile.But over the past six months, Huawei has found itself increasingly in the limelight and under public scrutiny. After the arrest of one of its top executives in December and an escalating trade war, the Chinese telecoms company has become a symbol for both China’s technological rise and ambition -- and the threat that poses to Western countries like the US.To take a closer look at the company -- at a more human-scale -- we decided to dive into the people and unique ‘wolf’ culture of Huawei, from its dark history of employee suicides to inspiring “war” stories, where company staff brave earthquakes and civil war to serve clients.So what makes the company tick? How does it produce both die-hard loyalists and Huawei-haters? In this episode, we explore the following topics:Huawei’s management system and how it worksFounder Ren Zhengfei’s influence on HuaweiMilitaristic Huawei slogans and sayingsCompany training and “boot camp”The trade-offs of a “wolf” cultureHost: Tom Xiong and Eva XiaoProducer: Jacob LovénGuest: Shen Rui, an ex-Huawei employee who worked there 2011-2015Digitally China is a subjective but independent depiction of the tech scene in China.

Digitally China produceras av Den Digitala Draken och publiceras varannan vecka på kontot "Digitally China" i samarbete med RADII (radiichina.com).(2019-03-28)Over the past five years, China’s internet industry has seen dizzying growth, with each year hitting record-levels of funding. In the second quarter of 2018, Chinese startups raised more venture capital than startups in North America for the first time. But at the end of last year, the industry started winding down -- fast. Rumors started about mass layoffs at different tech firms, from ecommerce giant JD to Quora-like Zhihu. Meanwhile, entrepreneurs braced themselves for a “capital winter.”So is China’s startup scene finally facing the music after years of cash-burning growth? Is this just a market correction or a sign of worse things to come?In this episode, we will cover:Stories from the good old days of China’s startup industry Factors contributing to the slowdownThe impact on China's tech industry and human cost of market correctionGuests: Gu Xi, marketing partner at Higgz, a Beijing-based AI education startup focusing primarily on improving high school students’ learning capabilities.Chauncey Jung, a freelance writer based in Canada who focuses on technology, politics, and current affairs in China.

Recently a leaked e-mail from JD.com have been widely spread, being probably the most concrete example of the 996 culture from certain tech companies in China. Among many things, the leaked e-mail indicates that people working less overtime should be fired.

In a country where WeChat rules supreme, Bytedance is attempting the impossible. Last month,the Beijing-based startup launched its own social networking app called Duoshan.It wouldn’t be the first time Bytedance has made larger, more established tech companies nervous. It runs TikTok, a video-sharing app that has quickly grown popular worldwide -- a rare feat for a Chinese tech firm -- inspiring Facebook to launch its own competing app called Lasso.The startup has also already started butting heads with Tencent. Last year, the heads of both companies became embroiled in a public spat on WeChat, where the Bytedance CEO accused Tencent of copying Douyin -- the Chinese version of TikTok -- and blocking it in WeChat to slow its growth. A few months later in a separate case, Tencent sued the startup for 1 RMB ($0.15) for defamation.As large tech firms solidify their monopolies around the world -- Google dominates search, Tencent owns social -- it is becoming increasingly difficult for newcomers to challenge tech giants on their own turf. So will Duoshan be successful? And is Bytedance the company that can finally break Tencent’s hold on social?In this episode, we’ll discuss:The promising features of Duoshan -- and their disadvantagesChina’s younger generation and the appeal of disappearing videos or “stories”Bytedance’s AI edgeBytedance’s success with TikTok and foray into gaming, another important business for TencentGuest: Ashley Dudarenok, founder of Alarice International, a Hong Kong-based digital marketing agency that focuses on Chinese social media.Hosts: Eva Xiao and Tom XiongProduction: Jacob LovenDigitally China is a subjective but independent depiction of the tech scene in China.

A few weeks ago, in December 2018, Tencent Music did their highly anticipated IPO on the New York Stock Exchange valuing the company to $21.3 billion. Often being described as the "Spotify of China", we're looking into what Tencent Music actually is and what they might represent for the future of music, globally.With a user base of more than 800 monthly active users and revenue of around $2 billion the detail that has impressed the most is their profit margin of 20%. Or actually even the fact that they, as a music streaming company, even are able to turn a profit.In this episode we'll go through what Tencent Music is, how they are different compared to Spotify, if they can influence the global music industry and hypothesise about why they didn't merge with Spotify, something rumoured earlier in 2018.Episode summary: What is Tencent Music and how come they are profitable?What are the differences between the music industry in China and the west?Music streaming as a part of a music ecosystem - will we see the same development outside China?Asia - the future battleground - what will happen?Guest: Jonas Leijonhufvud, journalist at DI Digital and currently writing a book about Spotify.Hosts: Eva Xiao and Tom Xiong.Production: Jacob Loven.Digitally China is a subjective but independent depiction of the tech scene in China.

When it comes to buzzwords in the tech industry, "new retail" ranks high on the list. For the past few years, Alibaba has popularized the catchphrase to describe smarter, more high-tech ways of serving customers in brick-and-mortar shops -- by linking online and offline data -- from facial recognition-powered payments to smart mirrors that lets customers "try on" cosmetics before buying them.But beyond the shiny add-ons that consumers see, the real impact of new retail - especially for physical stores -- is more invisible: the supply chain and inventory.In this episode, we'll piece apart what new retail actually means for brick-and-mortar shops, why ecommerce platforms are moving offline, and how traditional brands are trying to catch up with JD and Alibaba before they get left behind.Episode summary: what is "new retail" and why are ecommerce platforms so gung-ho about it?case study: how the fashion industry -- where customer demand is volatile and products are always changing -- could really benefit from new retailwhy are traditional brands struggling to streamline their physical shops and are Alibaba and JD solution providers or competitors?Guest: Sicheng Peng, general manager and president of 7thonline APAC,Hosts: Eva Xiao and Tom Xiong.Production: Jacob Loven.Digitally China is a subjective but independent depiction of the tech scene in China.

The Wǒ Men podcast is a bi-weekly discussion of life in China hosted by Yajun Zhang and Jingjing Zhang. Previous episodes of the Wǒ Men podcast can be found here, and you can find Wǒ Men on iTunes here. On Saturday 7 July, the RADII-sponsored Wǒ Men Podcast celebrated its first anniversary at The Bookworm in Beijing. It was an entertaining afternoon of thoughtful discussion – all recorded live. Check out a photo gallery of images from the event below and listen to an audio recording of Wǒ Men hosts Yajun Zhang and Jingjing Zhang’s discussion with RADII columnist Jeremiah Jenne above.

Zhang Lijia is a free spirit and rebellious soul. After being forced to drop out of school and work in a rocket factory for ten years in the early stages of the Reform and Opening up era, Lijia taught herself English and chased her childhood dream to eventually become one of the best-known Chinese authors writing in English. Over the last decade, she has used her pen to portray a China that we rarely see in mainstream media.  For this episode of Wǒ Men Podcast, we sit down with Lijia to discuss her life and to examine just how much China has transformed over the generations. As a social commentator, Lijia shares her views on the changes and constants in China over the last few decades. We also discuss her latest book Lotus and the core social issues demonstrated by China’s prostitution industry. Cover photo: Lijia Zhang as a baby (courtesy Lijia Zhang) Join Us for the Wǒ Men Podcast 1st Anniversary Party! Wǒ Men is turning one! Come and celebrate the first birthday of the Wǒ Men podcast with RADII at The Bookworm Beijing at 4 pm on Saturday, July 7th. Entry is free, but places are limited so please register in advance by clicking this link or scanning the QR code below. We can’t wait to see you there!

2017 was an amazing year. With so much support from our family, editors (Josh and Anthony, we mean you) and friends, we finally launched our Wǒ Men Podcast, a program that we have been thinking about doing for years. It has been a magical journey. Every single guest was so generous and kind to open up and share their thoughts and lives with us. In that small studio, we had many deep conversations, touching the part of our hearts that we usually only keep it to ourselves. We feel we know each us so much better, even though many of the guests have been long-term friends. We also really appreciate all the feedback and support we honorably received from our audience. Whenever we heard how our program helped them to know China better or inspired by the thoughts from the guest speakers, we just feel so happy and encouraged. This is what keeps us going! Our editors Anthony and Josh are so amazing. Anthony introduced our program to the platform Radii and Josh gave us helpful feedback and provided all the support that we needed. We also want to thank our lovely husbands who have been our biggest supporters behind the scene since day one. Yajun’s husband Jeremiah came up with the brilliant name of the podcast and also was our CTO and IT advisor (unpaid). Jingjing’s husband Nick contributed many great ideas on titles and was the source of ideas for many discussion topics. More importantly, both of them bore the noise during the editing on many days and nights. Nick once mentioned that he could only handle our loud laughter so many times on each night.:) Last but not least, despite being friends for years, we have never been so close ever since we started planning for this podcast. We continuously brainstorm and feed ideas to each other, we discover similarities and differences between each other and keep each other encouraged and inspired. God, this blurb turns into a long list of appreciation and becomes so cliché. However, if you don’t show your gratitude to the people you care during such a warm holiday season, when is a better time? So to celebrate this wonderful time of the year, we issued our special Christmas episode of the Wǒ Men Podcast and shared our personal Christmas experiences. Hope this installment will bring some joy and laugh on this beautiful Christmas Eve. Happy holidays and see you in 2018!

Bowden uses Rocky and Bullwinkle to illustrate how all radii of a circle are congruent.

Die Messung des BMD mit der DXA stellt die weitverbreitetste Methode in der Osteoporosediagnostik zur Abschätzung des Frakturrisikos dar. Zur Einschätzung der mechanischen Festigkeit des distalen Radius sind jedoch verbesserte Methoden notwendig, um zum frühest möglichen Zeitpunkt einen osteoporotisch bedingten Knochenverlust zu erkennen und folgende Frakturen durch eine adäquate Therapie zu verhindern. Ziel der vorliegenden Studie war daher die Prüfung der Hypothese, dass quantitative Messungen der Knochenmikrostruktur mit der Mikro-CT eine Verbesserung der Vorhersagen der Bruchlasten des distalen Radius, verglichen mit der Bestimmung der Knochenmasse alleine, ergeben. Das Untersuchungsgut umfasste 130 Unterarme von Präparaten (66 Männer, Alter: 79,7±9,13; 64 Frauen, Alter 81,5± 8,94) aus 3 aufeinanderfolgenden Präparierkursen der Jahre 2000 bis 2002 in der Ludwig-Maximilian-Universität München. Die Unterarme der einen Seite wurden mit der Zweienergie-Röntgen-Absorptiometrie (pDEXA; Norland/ Stratec,, Pforzheim, Deutschland) sowohl an der distalen Metaphyse (1 cm Länge; proximal des Articulatio radiocarpalis) als auch am Schaft (1 cm Länge; bei ca. 33% der gesamten Knochenlänge) gemessen. Die Mikro-CT Scans der kontralateralen Radii (2 mm proximal des Gelenkspaltes) wurden an einem zylindrischen „Volume Of Interest“ von 6 mm Durchmesser und 6 mm Länge durchgeführt. Im Anschluss wurden die Versagenslasten der Radii in einer Sturzsimulation (in 80% Pronation, 70% Dorsalflexion) mittels einer Materialprüfmaschine (Firma Zwick, Zwick 1445, Ulm) ermittelt. Bei der Analyse des gesamten Untersuchungsgutes (n=130) zeigt die ROI „Distaler isolierter Radius ohne Ulna“ (bzw. Dist BMD R) die höchste Korrelation (r=0,82) mit den mechanischen Versagenslasten. Nach Ausschluss von 21 Radii, die kein radiologisch sichtbares Zeichen einer Fraktur aufwiesen (n=109), ergab sich eine Korrelation von r=0,85. Die Untergruppe der „Loco-Typico-Frakturen“ (n=79) wies eine Korrelation von 0,82 auf. Bei der Analyse der Mikro-CT Parameter des gesamten Kollektives zeigte der BV/TV die höchste Korrelation (r=0,49) mit den Versagenslasten. Den höchsten Korrelationskoeffizienten (r=0,55) aller Mikro-CT Parameter erreichte der BV/TV in der Untergruppe der radiologisch identifizierten Frakturen. In der Untergruppe der Loco-Typico-Frakturen wies der BV/TV einen Korrelationskoeffizienten von r=0,43 auf. In multiplen Regressionsanalysen konnte auf Basis der Mikro-CT keine signifikante zusätzliche Information zu der mit der DXA möglichen Vorhersage gewonnen werden. Die Befunde zeigen, dass auch bei hochauflösender Messung mit Mikro-CT die μ-Struktur des trabekulären Knochens von Biopsien der hier untersuchten Größe keinen Informationsgewinn gegenüber der Knochenmasse in Bezug auf die Strukturfestigkeit des distalen Radius ergibt. Eventuell besteht klinisch daher keine so hohe Bedeutung der Bestimmung der trabekulären μ-Struktur wie bisher angenommen.
