In this episode, I'm thrilled to chat with Steven Writer-Maguire and Wei Wang about the magic of mastermind groups and the incredible growth they foster. We dive into shared challenges, the power of vulnerability, and how these groups create a safe, non-judgmental space for leaders to evolve. From their personal journeys of navigating leadership during the COVID lockdown to the transformative feedback loops in mastermind sessions, Steven and Wei share insightful stories you won't want to miss. Plus, we explore the often-overlooked skills in leadership—like storytelling and relationship building—that truly make a difference.  Join the waitlist to be the first to hear about the next mastermind: https://www.conversationsattheedge.co.uk/safespacesquadWeekly newsletter | Ask Catherine | Work with me | LinkedIn | Instagram Big shout out to my podcast magician, Marc at iRonickMedia for making this real.

Large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the field of artificial intelligence, enabling natural language processing tasks that were previously thought to be exclusive to humans. In this work, we introduce Qwen, the first installment of our large language model series. Qwen is a comprehensive language model series that encompasses distinct models with varying parameter counts. It includes Qwen, the base pretrained language models, and Qwen-Chat, the chat models finetuned with human alignment techniques. The base language models consistently demonstrate superior performance across a multitude of downstream tasks, and the chat models, particularly those trained using Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF), are highly competitive. The chat models possess advanced tool-use and planning capabilities for creating agent applications, showcasing impressive performance even when compared to bigger models on complex tasks like utilizing a code interpreter. Furthermore, we have developed coding-specialized models, Code-Qwen and Code-Qwen-Chat, as well as mathematics-focused models, Math-Qwen-Chat, which are built upon base language models. These models demonstrate significantly improved performance in comparison with open-source models, and slightly fall behind the proprietary models. 2023: Jinze Bai, Shuai Bai, Yunfei Chu, Zeyu Cui, Kai Dang, Xiaodong Deng, Yang Fan, Wenhang Ge, Yu Han, Fei Huang, Binyuan Hui, Luo Ji, Mei Li, Junyang Lin, Runji Lin, Dayiheng Liu, Gao Liu, Chengqiang Lu, K.

This episode of NAC Dance with Cathy Levy features a fascinating conversation with Wen Wei Wang, Artistic Director of Ballet Edmonton, choreographer, and NAC Associate Dance Artist. Born and raised in Xi'an, China, Wen Wei dedicated his life to dance at a very early age upon seeing the famous Chinese ballet The White-Haired Girl. He trained at the Langzhou Army School and the prestigious People's Liberation Army Academy of Art. A five-month cultural exchange in Vancouver led him to return for good a few years later with the help and support of his mentor and friend Grant Strate. The following decades saw him perform with Judith Marcuse Dance Company, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens and Ballet BC; create his own company Wen Wei Dance; and accept the artistic leadership of Ballet Edmonton.

"I like being bored." This is a Contemplation Capsule. A distilled moment, to step inside CW&T's places of rest, respite, and contemplation. Happy listening.

"There's no correlation between how much effort, energy, and how much excitement you might have for your product, versus how the world will receive it." Today I am speaking with Che-Wei Wang and Taylor Levy, the duo behind the design practice, CW&T. We talk about reframing time, memento mori, finding meaningful rituals and the accidental, but intuitive, development of a community around the studio, which allows for fellow passionate creators to share, and learn from, each other. As for rest, respite and contemplation, we talk about art, being in quiet, and how often, there is a direct correlation between being rested, and, highly creative. Without further ado, I bring you Che-Wei Wang and Taylor Levy.

TODAY'S GUEST   Today, we talk about the practice of design, and how designers who learn to work with and understand technology can bring a humanistic, creative perspective to technology that can truly transform our understanding of what it can do. I've long believed that advanced technology can be beautiful, poetic, and philosophical in nature. In fact, that's what's called for in an age where tech shapes our lives, takes an increasingly greater part in creative work, and even makes decisions for us.   That's why it was so rewarding to sit down with Che-Wei Wang and Taylor Levy, the married couple behind CW&T. They've managed to carve out the space for their own creative, almost contemplative practice.   Their studio, CW&T, is an award-winning design practice creating mind-bending products. Over the last 13 years, their work has spanned from interactive software to human scale tools that enhance our relationships to work, life, and time. They center around an iterative process of sketching, prototyping, testing, writing code, machining parts, and building each addition themselves to assess their intuitions around improving everyday experiences. Their projects range from devices that alter the perception of time, an electronics curriculum for artists, an astrological compass for space travelers, to objects engineered to last multiple generations.   Wang and Levy lecture extensively, and they teach courses on time, electronics, hardware, programming, inflatables, and morphology at Pratt Institute, New York University, and the School for Poetic Computation. In 2022, they won the National Design Award for Product Design from Cooper Hewitt.   We spoke in mid-November 2022, and I was excited to talk to them after I saw some of their more thought-provoking pieces engaging with time.  I was a little concerned with my ability to interview two people at the same time. Usually, I tend to go deep with one person and I wasn't sure how the format would work, but as usually happens with creative people, the conversation took a life of its own and was a delight.   EPISODE SUMMARY   In this conversation we talk about: Being a couple who works together. Balancing parenthood with business and creative design work. The gratitude they feel for being able to have an ongoing creative practice. Their creative principles. Why they insist on building what they want to see. What does the phrase "buy lots of lottery tickets" mean to them? Their origin story. What did Che-Wei learn while fixing his dad's typewriter as a kid? What did Taylor realize about The Beatles? How did they meet and become a couple? Their creative projects, including Time Since Launch and Solid State Watch. The School for Poetic Computation. Generative design, and how it can change designers' work. The importance of learning to understand time. And how to make room for your creative practice.   We have some amazing episodes lined up for you with thinkers, designers, makers, authors, and activists answering questions like:   How can we program and control human cells? Why did the stoic philosophers think anger was the most destructive of emotions, and how did they suggest fighting it? Why are more and more people around the world turning to coliving communities as an attractive idea? And what do most people still need to understand about transgender and non-binary individuals?   But before they can get to you, these episodes need to be edited, audio mixed, and published, and Remake is now in a time of transition as I'm preparing to move my life and business back to the US with a lot of uncertainty around the future of the Israeli business.   In order to keep our team running, and protect the podcast from the vicissitudes of life, politics, and business, we're asking for your support.   If you value the podcast and the hard work that five different people are putting in on every single episode, please consider becoming a supporter or making a one-time donation at RemakePod.org/support. Or go to our website and click "Become a Supporter". You can make a one-time donation or join as a monthly or yearly supporter, which will entitle you in the future to access any premium episodes, longer versions of episodes, video interviews, and a paid Remake newsletter.   We have a lot of plans on how to make Remake into a real community and invest in more content, including short-form content. And of course, the podcast itself will always feature in-depth conversations with people who are trying to change our lives for the better. But right now, we really need your help.   So if you value what we do, please once again, go to RemakePod.org/support.   And now, without further ado, let's jump right in with Che-Wei Wang and Taylor Levy.   TIMESTAMP CHAPTERS   [8:09] Life in the Present [12:17] Early Childhood Lessons [16:00] A Journey to Design [23:09] Love at First Sight [27:42] CW&T [31:22] Time Since Launch [38:13] Solid State Watch [42:21] Project Principles [47:46] The School for Poetic Computation [51:49] Generative Design [56:18] A Short Sermon   EPISODE LINKS Che-Wei and Taylor's Links

In China today, the party-state increasingly penetrates commercial social media while aspiring to turn its own media agencies into platforms. Introducing the concept of state-sponsored platformization, Engaging Social Media in China, edited by my guest Guobin Yang and Wei WAng, shows the complexity behind the central role the party-state plays in shaping social media platforms. State-sponsored platformization, however, does not necessarily produce the Chinese Communist Party’s desired outcomes. Citizens continue to appropriate social media for creative public engagement at the same time as more people are managing their online settings to reduce or refuse connection, inducing new forms of crafted resistance to hyper-social media connectivity. The wide-ranging essays presented in this volume explore the mobile radio service Ximalaya.FM, Alibaba’s evolution into a multi-platform ecosystem, livestreaming platforms, the role of Twitter in Trump’s North Korea diplomacy, user-generated content in the news media, social media art projects, and the reluctance to engage with WeChat, among other concerns. Ultimately, readers will find that the ten chapters in this volume contribute significant new research and insights to the fast-growing scholarship on social media in China at a time when online communication is increasingly constrained by international struggles over political control and privacy issues. Guobin Yang is the Grace Lee Boggs Professor of Communication and Sociology at the Annenberg School for Communication and the Department of Sociology at the University of Pennsylvania. There he directs the Center on Digital Culture and Society and serves as deputy director of the Center for the Study of Contemporary China. He is the author of The Red Guard Generation and Political Activism in China (2016) and the award-winning book The Power of the Internet in China: Citizen Activism Online (2009). He is also the editor or coeditor of four other books, including Media Activism in the Digital Age (2017) and China's Contested Internet (2015).Engaging Social Media in China: Platforms, Publics, and Production is available at msupress.org and other fine booksellers.

Over a year ago, two young men who met over internet as Hong Kong was gripped by months of pro-democracy protests. They shared a common interest in martial arts and a burning desire to resist China’s tightening grip on their lives. Now in the wake of a sweeping national security law, imposed by Beijing, they need to decide… are they going stay and continue to protest or flee to the United Kingdom, a country offering them a way out. In a move that infuriated China, Britain has introduced a new visa that will give 70% of its former colony’s population – 5.4m people - the right to live in the UK, and eventually become citizens. So what will they decide? Grace Tsoi, Wei Wang and Rebecca Henschke follow their story.

In the last of our replays, we look back to our 15th February 2020 episode titled A Leader’s Role in Removing Frustrations. We're back next week with a brand new episode. I look forward to speaking with you then. ummary Aaarrgghhh! This week we look at the leader’s role in removing frustrations.     Transcript   Hello and welcome to episode 66 of the Leadership Today podcast where each week we tackle one of today’s biggest leadership challenges. This week we look at a leader’s role in removing frustrations.    When you think about the role of a leader, it’s easy to focus primarily on their ability to manage upside potential. That upside potential might include providing meaning and purpose, clarifying roles and expectations, and providing development opportunities. We tend to first focus on the leader’s ability to tap into the motivation of their people. Each of these areas are really important, however an equally important and often overlooked part of leadership is reducing the things that get in the way of performance. That includes removing frustrations and other barriers to success for individuals and teams.    Let’s take IT as an example. As I work with a broad range of organisations it always amazes me the variety of IT setups people end up using ranging from cutting edge through to museum-grade antiques. Even when things look brilliant to me as an outsider, few people rave about their IT systems. However I’ve heard plenty of complaints about long boot up times, tricky remote login processes, slow response times, clunky data entry, and systems that don’t speak to one another. As the technology we use at home continues to leap forward, people have increasingly high expectations of the technology they interact with at work. And if the technology gets in the way of delivering work, it quickly impacts job satisfaction. In fact a study released just this month shows that workplace IT satisfaction accounts for 38 percent of the variance in job satisfaction. If IT is getting in the way for your people, there’s a high chance that it’s impacting the way they experience their job and the organisation.   Broader research on frustrations at work beyond just IT demonstrates a clear link to the risk of burnout. This is particularly the case when people see their frustrations impacting clients and customers. Recently I made a simple purchase of one item and watched as a great employee who had been really helpful wrestled with the point of sale system. While they remained professional, the frustration for them was real. What should have taken less than a minute stretched on for several minutes as more customers joined the queue. It’s easy to see how working with that system day after day would impact an otherwise motivated and engaged employee, particularly when that person cared about providing a great experience for customers.   And it’s not just about that employee - research also shows a link between frustrations and negative work behaviours such as aggression towards coworkers. What frustrates the individual ripples through the organisation. If people aren’t being civil to each other in your organisation, I can almost guarantee there are unresolved frustrations.   Research suggests there are three conditions that magnify the impact of frustrations:  When they don’t feel heard about the frustrations and their impacts When they don’t feel a sense of control over the frustrations When they feel isolated - like they’re the only ones having a problem   Leaders are the ones best positioned to help with these three conditions.   Here are a few tips when seeking to reduce and remove frustrations for your people: Accept that frustrations are normal - there’s no such thing as a completely frustration-free work environment. Recognise that frustrations can get in the way of both personal and organisational goals - while the frustration may be primarily impacting the person, it’s likely to be flowing through to team and organisational performance.  All frustrations can be reduced - you may not be able to completely remove a frustration, but there are always creative ways of reducing the impact. Provide an opportunity for people to discuss frustrations and be heard - start with your own people and simply ask them “What frustrations are getting in the way of you doing your job well?” Allow people to connect with others - as you seek to remove frustrations it’s helpful to see how others are dealing with and working around the frustrations. Equip people to continuously improve - give people the authority to make changes and improvements that will reduce frustrations for themselves and customers.    Hopefully you found this episode helpful - if you did, remember to share it with others. I’ve listed the three references used in the show notes.

Sponsored by us! Support our work through: Our courses at Talk Python Training Test & Code Podcast Patreon Supporters Michael #1: Awkward arrays via Simon Thor Awkward Array is a library for nested, variable-sized data, including arbitrary-length lists, records, mixed types, and missing data, using NumPy-like idioms. This makes it better than numpy at handling data where e.g. the rows in a 2D array have different lengths. It can even be used together with numba to jit-compile the code to make it even faster. Arrays are dynamically typed, but operations on them are compiled and fast. Their behavior coincides with NumPy when array dimensions are regular and generalizes when they’re not. Recently rewritten in C++ for the 1.0 release and can even be used from C++ as well as Python. Careful on installation: pip install awkward1 ← Notice the 1. Brian #2: Ordered dict surprises Ned Batchelder “Since Python 3.6, regular dictionaries retain their insertion order: when you iterate over a dict, you get the items in the same order they were added to the dict. Before 3.6, dicts were unordered: the iteration order was seemingly random.” The surprises: You can’t get the first item, like d[0], since that’s just the value matching key 0, if key 0 exists. (I’m not actually surprised by this.) equality and order (this I am surprised by) Python 3.6+ dicts ignores order when testing for equality {"a": 1, "b": 2} == {"b": 2, "a": 1} OrderdDicts care about order when testing for equality OrderedDict([("a", 1), ("b", 2)]) != OrderedDict([("b", 2), ("a", 1)]) Michael #3: jupyter lab autocomplete and more via Anders Källmar Examples show Python code, but most features also work in R, bash, typescript, and many other languages. Hover: Hover over any piece of code; if an underline appears, you can press Ctrl to get a tooltip with function/class signature, module documentation or any other piece of information that the language server provides Diagnostics: Critical errors have red underline, warnings are orange, etc. Hover over the underlined code to see a more detailed message Jump to Definition: Use the context menu entries to jump to definitions Highlight References: Place your cursor on a variable, function, etc and all the usages will be highlighted Automatic Completion: Certain characters, for example '.' (dot) in Python, will automatically trigger completion Automatic Signature Suggestions: Function signatures will automatically be displayed Rename: Rename variables, functions and more, in both: notebooks and the file editor. Brian #4: Open Source Tools & Data for Music Source Separation An online “book” powered by Jupyter Book By Ethan Manilow, Prem Seetharaman, and Justin Salamon A tutorial intended to guide people “through modern, open-source tooling and datasets for running, evaluating, researching, and deploying source separation approaches. We will pay special attention to musical source separation, though we will note where certain approaches are applicable to a wider array of source types.” Uses Python and interactive demos with visualizations. Section “basics of source separation” that includes a primer on digitizing audio signals, a look time frequency representations, what phase is, and some evaluations and measurements. Includes use of a library called nussl deep learning approaches datasets training deep networks Brian’s comments: Very cool this is an open source book Even if you don’t care about source separation, the primer on waveform digitization is amazing. The interactive features are great. Michael #5: Pass by Reference in Python: Background and Best Practices Does Python have pointers? Some languages handle function arguments as references to existing variables, which is known as pass by reference. Other languages handle them as independent values, an approach known as pass by value. Python uses pass by assignment, very similar to pass by ref. In languages that default to passing by value, you may find performance benefits from passing the variable by reference instead If you actually want to change the value, consider Returning multiple values with tuple unpacking A mutable data type Returning optional “value” types For example, how would we recreate this in Python? public static bool TryParse (string s, out int result); Tuple unpacking def tryparse(string, base=10): try: return True, int(string, base=base) except ValueError: return False, None success, result = tryparse("123") Optional types: def tryparse(string, base=10) -> Optional[int]: try: return int(string, base=base) except ValueError: return None if (n := tryparse("123")) is not None: print(n) Best Practice: Return and Reassign Brian #6: Visualizing Git Concepts by onlywei Wei Wang Git Basics is good, and important, but hard to get all these concepts to sink in well until you play with it. Visualizing Git Concepts with D3 solidifies the concepts Practice using git commands without any code, just visualizing the changes to the repository (and sometimes the remote origin repository) while typing commands. commit, branch, checkout, checkout -b reset, revert merge, rebase tag fetch, pull, push Incredibly powerful to be able to play around with these concepts without using any code or possibly mucking up your repo.

In this episode we sit down with Ta-Wei Wang, Co-Founder of Aptive Education and an Asia veteran who has worked in the education industry in both South Korea and China, splitting his years between Seoul and Beijing. We ask Ta-Wei about the differences in teaching and work/business culture between the two countries, what new innovative things he is trying with education, and which country is better suited for those seeking jobs in education. Show Notes: Ta-Wei’s background as an Asian American and spending half of his life working in South Korea and China. The transformation of the education industry in Asia over the past decade - the change in demand from “exotic foreign face” to proper teacher with relevant life experiences. The rigid hierarchy and glass ceiling in the Korean business world, and why Ta-Wei decided to move to China. Differences in work culture and qualifications between different places in Korea and China, and why China is a better bet for someone seeking a future in education or beyond. The trend of education moving from brick & mortar to digital, and how Ta-Wei is adapting with his new startup. Ta-Wei’s new startup, Aptive Education, and how it is using education technology to bring education availability to poor kids all over Asia.

sIn is a harsh noise artist from Singapore who has been making music since 1992. Originally from the hardcore punk scene, he started making noise around a decade ago and has since toured extensively in Southeast Asia (mostly with his friend Dennis who performs as Schizophrenic Wonderland) and released a huge amount of recorded material. He works primarily with DIY equipment to generate sound and lighting, and he puts on some of the most intense performances you'll see at a DIY noise show.Saleh doesn't have much of an online presence for his music, but you can find him on Instagram and in some other places if you look. As he says in the interview, he's all about the personal connection, so reach out and say hi to him if you're interested in what he does. For me, Saleh embodies everything that's great about DIY; he works hard to make things happen, he's incredibly generous in sharing the resources he has with other musicians, and he's always pushing himself creatively to do something he hasn't done before.I also want to mention a new compilation called Sonic Vortex, which is out now on the Mindblasting netlabel. You can download it for free from archive.org or the Mindblasting webpage, and it's a huge 36 track beast which showcases what's going on in noise from around Southeast Asia right now. Saleh has a track on the compilation, as do I, and also a couple of previous guests on this podcast like Indra Menus and ASU (USA).Please subscribe to Concrescence Records on YouTube if you're a YouTube person. You can also get all of the episodes of the podcast on there too. Every Friday I'm posting a new 4k performance video, and on Mondays I post slightly lower quality handheld videos. At the moment I'm posting sets from the Jogja Noise Bombing Festival a few weeks ago; last week I posted a collaborative set between Catatonia from Singapore and Tzii from Belgium, and just as of this morning there's a crazy noise set by Chen Yi Chung and Wei Wang, who are two DJs from Taiwan. NOTE: this week's episode is coming out a few days late because I've had a bit of scheduling hiccup, but I'll be back to the normal Tuesday release schedule for next week's episode, so you can expect that in a few days.Tracks played: "wash my sins away", "Shonanto"Links for sIn:SEA 4 way split (sIn, Indra Menus, Anak Bukit, Slay Your Boyfriend): https://noisebombing.bandcamp.com/album/nb13-sea-4-way-split-part-2Sonic Vortex volume 1: https://archive.org/details/sonicvortexvolume1Pancawala split (Coffee Faith, Dissonant, BRRR., DJ Miko, Anquan): https://mindblasting.wordpress.com/2020/01/01/pancawala-split/Concrescence Records YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqKkFOv5-FOVTTbl0oojrfw

On the fourth episode of Forum Confidential, we’re boarding the EO Global Jet to take you to the North Asia region! Our host, James Li from EO China North, in China will interview EO member Ta-Wei Wang. Episode Summary Ta-Wei is an education industry professional from Seattle, Washington with nearly 15 years of education management experience. Ta-Wei's educational career began in 2005 in South Korea. His six years in South Korea brought him experiences in teaching, faculty training, content development, center management, and franchise expansion. In 2011, Ta-Wei moved to China to develop a new education program and later moved on to co-found Shang Learning to serve as the Director of Education. In this episode, he shares his path as an education industry professional and the challenges Education faces nowadays. Tune in now! Timestamped show notes 0:58 Tracy Neal presents Forum Confidential Host James Li 3:19 Ta-Wei Wang presents himself, he was born in Taiwan and his family moved to Seattle when he was 4 years old 4:26 After graduating he wanted to travel abroad for one or two years. He went to South Korea to teach English, from that experience he was able to do R&D, curriculum development, becoming a faculty manager and train teachers. 5:25 From South Korea he moved to Beijing and was able to help start two different education companies, helping students with their admissions processes, to fulfill their dreams to be able to study abroad. 6:44 To the question: “Is being an entrepreneur something that you are born with or something that is developed over time?” He responded that thinking back to his childhood he started working in his family business at 11 years old, at the chain of a Chinese restaurant. Thanks to the experience of learning the value of money at a very young age, a lot of that work ethic was already in place when Ta Wei turned 16 and started getting a job. 7:40 A lot of the jobs that he got were on the entrepreneur spectrum. It is something that Ta-Wei enjoyed, being able to start companies. 8:30 He learned a lot of his work ethic from his father who works in the cooking business. which he learned from his father. His father never missed a day of work, never complained about was he was doing. Ta Wei Wang addresses that hard work does pay off. 10:00 One of his biggest challenges was that he was teaching English but he was rejected because he had a non-American looking name and I looked Asian. 11:00 Luckily a company in Korea looked beyond that and now the market has become a little savvier and looking for people that share the same experience that their children are going through - being a person who was born in Asia and studied in the United States. 12:00 In the education industry this is very common. It is so stereotypical and racist but also understandable. 13:22 To being able to hire good mentors or good educators you have to look to their background. 14:00 We get to hire American looking people that went to Harvard or Stanford or Yale. They come over to be teachers and the thought for a lot of parents is like “this person will be a great teacher”. But that’s not always the case. 15:15 When looking at who might be a good educator, the most important thing is how you can effectively deliver the information. 16:40 The Programs I have been working on, help students develop critical thinking skills and XXI century skills such as communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creative thinking. 20:30 One of the large challenges that his company faces is that before a lot of the focus was on the memorization of knowledge. We have to educate families that now knowledge is at the tip of your fingerprint and the important thing is being able to know what to do with this knowledge. 23:30 Most of our classes don’t have any grades and the question is how do you measure progress? We do it through project-based learning. 26:00 Ta-Wei Wang talks about his mentor, who was his boss in the Korean company. 29:00 Joining the Chapter and being in the Forum has helped Ta-Wei discovered himself more deeply.

I sat down with the very interesting Wei Wang this week. We had a nice chat about his life growing up in China, England, and eventually Canada before moving to Flushing Queens. I've known Wei for a long time and he has always been a very interesting guy. I really enjoyed our conversation and learning more about him. Don't miss the story about Smooth Criminal either. It's especially funny.

Host Ben Yorke discusses the latest OceanEx OCE token burn with COO Wei Wang. The two hit on a number of topics including the one year anniversary of OceanEx, the new crypto-fiat gateway, and a number of other events happening in Q4 for the exchange.

Since 2004, Xiao-Wei Wang has worked at the Packard Foundation where she leads a program that aids the nation's most promising early-career professors in pursuing innovative science and engineering research. From inquiries into ancient microbes to exploring the evolution of galaxies, Xiao-Wei supports Packard Fellows as they dare to think big, take risks and explore new scientific frontiers. Xiao-Wei is a graduate of the College of William and Mary and Stanford University—completing her graduate thesis while working and parenting full-time. She cherishes her roles as domestic concierge, nurse, nutritionist, storyteller, counselor, Scout den leader, piano coach, chauffeur and custodian. Xiao-Wei lives in the San Francisco Bay area with her husband and two kids. The self-proclaimed black sheep of her family, Xiao-Wei was the only one to skip the path of pursuing anything related to science, instead focusing on liberal arts as an undergrad - because she always knew she wanted to focus on community, volunteer work, and bettering society on the humanitarian side. Today, Xiao-Wei is both a mom and a career-woman, explaining to us that she always knew she would have both - because she saw her mom do the same thing, and never felt the need to choose only one. Going on to explain, Xiao-Wei shares, “at the end of the day, being a working parent makes me a better parent. It makes me more balanced to have my own interests, and passions, and focus - outside of being a mom. That’s just who I am.” And the secret to balancing it all? “Definitely keep your sense of humor, and make sure your kids have a sense of humor as well, for when they have to deal with shortcomings,” jokes Xiao-Wei. Joining us to share her story, Xiao-Wei opens up about issues for women working in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields and beyond, mistakes she’s made while trying to accomplish so much, and the importance of women’s networks.

”AI is just another tool, but also not just another tool”Che-Wei Wang runs a small design studio with his wife, where they explore computational and generative design. In their studio they have the tools to build prototypes in a single day. Working with CAD (computer-aided design) tools for many years, he has seen how these have always been meant to facilitate a human process. With the recent influx of AI in design however, generative design software has arrived big time. In many cases however, these tools are digital black boxes that often produce results that are surprising to the designers themselves. Showing examples of actual products he has created, Wang shows how human aesthetics and intuition often gets lost along the way. He argues that we should work to adapt AI software to accept human feedback, instead of reducing all kinds of inputs to numbers. Rather than going down the rabbit hole with automated design, we should really be looking at how things like CAD can become tools for human-aided design - especially now that we’re beginning to produce three-dimensional objects like furniture using generative design.

Today, we'd like to introduce you to Taylor Levy and Che-Wei Wang [pron. sey-wey]. They are designers, inventors, parents, and lobsters. Yes, lobsters. They give a beautiful explanation as to why. Both Taylor and Che-Wei are alumni of MIT Media Lab and ITP at NYU. Their unique life experience has informed how they try to approach life, work, and family. They exist to create the things they want to see in the world - from one of a kind time capsules, key wranglers, and beautifully designed pens (there's even one with a ruler on it!). We also learn about their guiding principles when creating new things. This duo is wise beyond their years. Listen and learn with us!

On the heels of their new product launch, Wei Wang talks about how CryptoFarm will appeal to investors. We also discuss the OCE token, the future NTI platform, and discuss other industry issues such as Binance and Facebook. 

What's Your Latest with CW&T: Chi-Wei Wang and Taylor Levy (Episode 111) CW&T is Che-Wei Wang and Taylor Levy. They combine art, technology, design, and manufacture into everyday objects that have nothing everyday about them, as well as unique expressions of industrial design that can't be compared with anything else. In this episode, we talk about one of their latest endeavors, Time Since Launch, a single-use launch clock that counts indefinitely into the future. I first spoke to Che-Wei and Taylor in 2013 about the Pen Type-A, their first highly funded project and one that had a lot of complexity. They appeared with me on stage at the Nearly Impossible conference with other makers later that year to talk more broadly about creating. (You can now purchase both Pen Type-A and Pen Type-B.) Six years later, the couple has completed dozens of projects of different scales and natures, moved from New York to Massachusetts and back again, and 3D printed two humans. Make sure and follow them on Instagram to see their latest experiments, process photos, and new projects.

The traditional design workflow is getting a turbo boost from algorithms (don’t worry. The robots aren’t taking over…yet). With new types of generative design processes like genetic algorithms, the designer’s role is changing from the traditional, top down approach of drawing ideas on paper, into a systems approach. Designers traditionally sketch and develop ideas intuitively. With a genetic algorithm, instead of imagining a design solution, the designer develops a fitness criteria and coaxes the algorithm towards a final design.

Research on the Use of Kerps in Bankrupt Firms ABI Resident Scholar Susan Hauser talks with Profs. Vidhan K. Goyal of the Hong Kong University of Science & Technology (HKUST) and Wei Wang of the Queen's School of Business about their controversial paper, "Provision of Management Incentives in Bankrupt Firms." Profs. Goyal and Wang examine the use of key employee retention plans (KERPs) in bankrupt firms and discuss how the results of their empirical research do not support the common view that retention bonus plans enrich managers at the expense of creditors.

Taylor Levy and Che-Wei Wang run CW&T, an art and design studio that produces an array of items ranging from purely commercial to completely aesthetic. The way they string projects along that spectrum offers a lot of insight into how one can fulfill one's own artistic vision in a world of commerce. They're also the team behind the Pen Type-A, a large and ultimately complicated Kickstarter project that we'll get.
