鹿可 | British PhD on Medical AI, now living in Xinjiang. Want to collab on research? DM me. Youtube: livinlavidaluke | RedNote: 鹿可英国
Urumqi, Xinjiang
Joined July 2009
BIG news - I'm going to be living in Xinjiang from next month. Why? Submitting draft of PhD thesis soon which lets me use AI to detect cancer, better than doctors can. 🎉. BUT It will take months to process and graduate, and it's difficult to find graduate job i want without.

The creator of this recipe was a British guy (Andrew Stow) living in Macau!. He got divorced, and so his wife who co-owned the bakery sold his recipe to KFC China, and it’s hence now one of the best in China!.
🇨🇳 KFC's in China sell Pastel de Nata (葡式蛋挞 = Portuguese egg tart). They taste good and I approve 👍

All this talk about Jack Ma, yet in the US, Jeff Bezos was literally sued for doing the same kind of thing (no, not for criticising the gov but for how they treat third‑party sellers.) . And because of the heavy US law path, it’s been delayed for years already. it still isn’t.

Omg only a DAY after OpenAI made the best open source model, China just one upped them 😂😂😂. Alibaba’s latest thinking model is insanely good for it’s size class. The only model that can hit 80 %+ on AIME while running in 8GB. China literally own the open source LLM market,.

Wait, I ust realised this means foreign hospitals using NVIDIA GPUs can be turned off at any time by the US as they'd literally be able to jam any GPS or invalidate the license with a button. uhhh how would this be allowed. .
Remember when the White House spent YEARS warning us all about Huawei “back-doors” as it’s a Chinese spy tool. ?. Ironically the same White House is now making rules that force EVERY American AI chip exported abroad to carry a silent GPS. Nvidia even just said the idea is crazy

A love story going viral in China now. Chinese entrepreneur Anita Lee (5”4 / 1.63m) just got married to American/Guyanese Timothy Muttoo (4 ft / 1.22 m), an American engineer and co-founder of a Canadian clean-water charity. Whenever they post photos together they have to

🇺🇸 $150k in San Francisco sounds hugeee, but after taxes, rent, and everyday costs you’re left with about $50k in savings. 🇨🇳 Want the same in China? A job worth ¥40 k/month would actually be similar, as many give free housing to foreigners. I’m looking now and many.

Took a while to write this thread!! I talk about China's relation with Xinjiang in each dynasty from 200BCE to answer:. "Was Xinjiang actually always part of China?".
Xinjiang (新疆) means "new territory" in Chinese. So that means it only became occupied Chinese territory just recently right?. Wrong.

9/ Present. 70 years ago, Xinjiang changed from a province to an autonomous region. If you want to know the difference between the two, please check out this thread! .
Xinjiang is NOT a province of China. It’s officially an autonomous region and it was made one 70 years ago. Here’s what it means and how it happened 🧵.

8/ East Turkestan Republic (1934 & 1944-46) was a government set up by some Uyghur rebels. This was a time Soviet Russia wanted control of the region, and Uyghurs were unhappy with KMT regime who had unfair policies to them. Soviets supplied ammunition, troops, and funding. It

6/ Qing (1644‑1912). The Manchu Qing finally reunited the whole of Xinjiang, which China didn't have full control of. The Mongols and Altishahr Khoja rebels were defeated. China called the place “Xinjiang”. Some use this as a “gotcha” because “new territory” must mean "oh, it.

5/ Ming (1368‑1644). The Ming never marched deep into Xinjiang, but in 1406 they had control of Hami, and made crowned its ruler “Obedient Prince" who they paid. Porcelain with the Ming imperial mark turns up in Hami tombs, proof of regular stipends. SOURCE ->

4/ Yuan (1271‑1368). Another cool dynasty. The Yuan court was Mongolian, but it still called itself “Great China.” Some people say because Mongolians ruled China, then this was not China. Ahhh. so that means Britain was French when William the Conqueror ruled?. Anyway… the

3/ Song (960‑1279). Now this is the interesting one for me - a weaker dynasty, and a time the Song Chinese army never actually marched to Xinjiang during this time. Local Uyghur kings ruled Xinjiang. So, does this mean it suddenly became independent? Not quite, if you know the

2/ Tang (618‑907). The Tang put two HQs literally in Xinjiang. As clear proof as you want it was part of China then! . Another big evidence shows a 703 CE Turpan contract (pic 1) which says “长安三年”… aha. the capital of China at the time. The Ministry of Revenue (戶部)

1/ Han (202 BCE‑220 CE). I visited Xinjiang museum in Urumqi, where you can see a Western‑Han burial suit (玉衣) found in tombs near Xinjiang’s Yili (see pic). Also, 2nd pic shows how China created the Protectorate of Xinjiang in 60 BCE, issuing gold seals and grain quotas to

Very interesting. An AI lab in China just spotted stomach cancer three years earlier than top radiologists around the world. My PhD was in cancer‑AI and I just went to the cancer institute in Xinjiang last weekend for some job opportunities, they’ve got sooooo much AI resources
