Look what came in the mail! After 16 long years, The Chinese Computer comes out in 2 weeks. #unboxing @mitpress @WEAI_Columbia

Being part of this @nytimes piece brought back so many memories of the 18 yrs spent on The Chinese Typewriter + The Chinese Computer, & all the countless people who helped me along the way. There was no space in the article to say thank you, so: Thank you. nytimes.com/2025/07/22/nyr…
#HistoryMatters Prof. @tsmullaney's work on Chinese typewriters & his quest to bring a MingKwai to @StanfordLibs featured in @nytimes “To me it’s just a typewriter,” [Ms. Felix said], “But to other people it’s history; it’s a story, a life, a treasure.” nytimes.com/2025/07/22/nyr…
Thank you ever so much @JosephASeeley
Stories like this reminds me why I love being a historian. You can feel @tsmullaney 's passion for what is far more than just machines and technology, but human struggles, aspirations, and dreams. Feel so lucky to have studied with him @Stanfordhistory nytimes.com/2025/07/22/nyr…
Many thanks to @OpenAI and Daniel Bashir for hosting me yesterday to discuss Chinese Computing, the Hypographic Age, and SILICON. In a few weeks, the excitement continues with a virtual talk at @cohere . Eager to learn more about Multilingual LLM and AI research.
I had the honor of attending a private debut of legendary Chinese artist Xu Bing’s new work—continuing his lifelong exploration of writing, language, and design. Thrilled to see intersections with our mission at SILICON. (Photo credit: Maisie Luo, Studio Manager, Xu Bing Studio)
