This week's episode was again longer than we expected! Angel and I had so much to share and talk about,
we just couldn't stop~ We are lucky, because Angel is finally back in Taiwan, and we both wanted
to share the one brand that means a lot to us in our period of "independence".

IKEA for many people, is just a furniture store. A place where you appreciate and know that you have "grown up".
What about for people in the second-half of their lives? How is IKEA staying relevant? In PART I of this episode,
we discuss the must-haves and all the things we love about IKEA restaurant. Drop us a message if you are just as crazy about IKEA restaurant as we are!

國際時事跟讀 Ep.K767: Europe's Groundbreaking AI Regulations: A Comprehensive Overview

Highlights 主題摘要：
Europe's AI regulations pioneer risk-based oversight, distinguishing between low and high-risk AI applications to ensure safety and accountability.The inclusion of provisions for generative AI models addresses concerns of misuse and promotes transparency in AI development.Stricter scrutiny of powerful AI systems mitigates risks of accidents and cyberattacks, emphasizing responsible innovation and compliance.
In a monumental move, European Union lawmakers have greenlit the world's foremost set of comprehensive regulations governing artificial intelligence (AI), paving the way for the implementation of the Artificial Intelligence Act later this year. This landmark legislation not only signifies a significant step forward in Europe's technological governance but also sets a precedent for global AI regulation.
在一項重大舉措中，歐盟立法者已經為全球首套全面監管人工智慧（AI）的法規開了綠燈，為今年晚些時候《人工智慧法案》（Artificial Intelligence Act）的實施鋪平了道路。這項具有里程碑意義的立法不僅標誌著歐洲科技治理向前邁出了重要一步，也為全球 AI 監管樹立了先例。

The foundation of the AI Act lies in its risk-based approach to regulating AI applications. While low-risk AI systems, such as content recommendation algorithms, are subject to voluntary guidelines and codes of conduct, high-risk uses—like medical devices and critical infrastructure—are met with stricter requirements. Moreover, the legislation outright prohibits certain AI applications, such as social scoring systems and specific forms of predictive policing, due to their deemed unacceptable risks.
AI 法案的基礎在於其對 AI 應用採取基於風險的監管方式。雖然低風險的 AI 系統，如內容推薦算法，需遵守自願性指南和行為準則，但高風險用途——如醫療設備和關鍵基礎設施——則面臨更嚴格的要求。此外，該立法完全禁止某些 AI 應用，例如社會評分系統和特定形式的預測性警務，因為它們被認為存在不可接受的風險。

One of the key highlights of the AI Act is its inclusion of provisions addressing generative AI models, which have emerged as a prominent force in recent years. These models, capable of producing lifelike responses and content, are now subject to stringent regulations. Developers are mandated to disclose the data used for training these models and adhere to copyright laws. Additionally, any AI-generated content must be prominently labeled as artificially manipulated, mitigating the potential for misuse.
AI 法案的一個重點是納入了解決生成式 AI 模型的條款

Topic: About Technology - ’Smart crib’ aims to help rockabye baby

As every new parent knows, sleep can go out the window after the arrival of a newborn.
如每對剛生孩子的爸媽所知，新生兒到來後，再也沒有夜夜好眠。

That was certainly the case for parents Radhika and Bharath Patil, who seeking relief for their own disrupted sleep patterns, put their electronic engineering backgrounds together to create a "smart crib".
這確實就是拉德西卡和巴拉特‧帕蒂爾的狀況，這對父母正在補救自身混亂的睡眠模式，結合他們的電子工程背景，創造了一個「智慧嬰兒床」。

Their crib, powered by artificial intelligence, combines a baby monitor, rocker, bassinet and crib in one.
他們把一台嬰兒監視器、弧形搖桿、搖籃和嬰兒床合而為一，由人工智慧來驅動嬰兒床。

"It’s not the amount of work around the baby that tires the parents, it’s the lack of sleep," Radhika Patil, Cradlewise chief executive, told Reuters in an interview.
「智慧搖籃」執行長拉德西卡‧帕蒂爾在訪問中告訴路透，「並非圍繞著嬰兒的工作量累到父母，而是睡眠不足。」

Early detection is key, she said, adding that the sooner parents can detect the baby waking up, the easier it is to get the child to fall back asleep.
她說，早期偵測是關鍵，並補充指出，父母越早發現嬰兒醒來，就越容易讓他們的孩子再度入睡。

"Once you put the baby in, the crib takes care of everything. That’s the aim," Bharath Patil said.
巴拉特‧帕蒂爾說，「只要把嬰兒放進去，嬰兒床就顧好每件事。這就是目的。」

Topic: New Thoughts on Math Of Effective Baby Talk

It has been nearly 20 years since a landmark education study found that, by age 3, children from low-income families have heard 30 million fewer words than more affluent children, putting them at an educational disadvantage before they have begun school.
將近20年前，一項具有里程碑意義的教育研究發現，低收入戶兒童到了3歲時，已比家庭較富裕的兒童少聽到3000萬個字彙，以致就學前即已處於教育上的劣勢。

Now, a growing body of research is challenging the notion that merely exposing poor children to more language is enough to overcome the deficits they face. The quality of the communication between children and their parents and caregivers, the researchers say, is of much greater importance than the number of words a child hears.
如今，越來越多的研究向此一觀念提出挑戰，不認為光是讓貧窮兒童暴露於更多語言，就能克服他們所面對的不足。這些研究人員指出，兒童與父母及看顧者之間的溝通品質，遠比兒童聽到多少字彙來得重要。

A study presented last month at a White House conference on “bridging the word gap” found that among 2-year-olds from low-income families, quality interactions involving words — the use of shared symbols (“Look, a dog!”); rituals (“Want a bottle after your bath?”); and conversat

Growing up in Taiwan, children are accustomed to a long, yellow cake that is called the "honey cake".
Technically, this cake dates back to the 16th century, and is a cake that came all the way from Portugal.

In this episode, Klim is going to give us some background to the most seen cake in Taiwan, the castella cake.
If you have a special castella cake that you recommend, drop us a comment and we will give you a shout out in the next episode!

Hope you will enjoy this episode with us as much as we enjoyed producing it!

國際時事跟讀 Ep.K763: Taiwan's Earthquake Preparedness: A Testament to Resilience

Highlights 主題摘要：
Taiwan's rigorous earthquake preparedness, including strict building codes and public education campaigns, significantly reduces the impact of seismic events.Administrative reforms post-1999 earthquake established national centers dedicated to earthquake coordination and training, enhancing disaster response capabilities.Taiwan's resilience extends beyond structural reforms to encompass community unity, international collaboration, and ongoing refinement of earthquake preparedness strategies.
Taiwan, a country frequently shaken by powerful earthquakes, yet remarkably equipped to withstand their impact, faced its most formidable seismic event in a quarter-century on 3rd April. Despite claiming nine lives and injuring hundreds, the island's stringent earthquake preparedness measures have significantly mitigated the devastation typically associated with such calamities, experts contend.

台灣經常受到強烈地震的襲擊，然而其對抗地震的能力卻非常出色，在四月三日遭遇了近25年（四分之一世紀以來）最為嚴重的地震。儘管造成九人死亡，數百人受傷，但專家們認為，島上嚴格的地震防災措施大幅度減輕了此類災害通常造成的破壞。

Situated along the Pacific "Ring of Fire," a zone notorious for seismic activity, Taiwan finds itself inherently vulnerable to earthquakes due to the convergence of the Philippine Sea Plate and the Eurasian Plate. This geological setting predisposes the region to frequent tremors, making robust preparedness imperative.

台灣位於太平洋“火山環帶”上，這是一個以地震活動聞名的地帶，由於菲律賓海板塊和歐亞板塊的匯聚，使得台灣先天容易受到地震影響，這種地質環境導致該地區地震頻繁，因此強大的防災措施顯得格外重要。

The recent earthquake, measuring 7.2 according to Taiwan's seismic agency and 7.4 according to the US Geological Survey, struck near Hualien County, causing substantial damage. However, Taiwan's capital, Taipei, despite feeling strong tremors, sustained only minor losses. This resilience is attributed to Taiwan's advanced earthquake preparedness, characterized by strict building codes, a sophisticated seismological network, and widespread public education campaigns promoting earthquake safety.

根據台灣地震機構的測量，最近的地震震級為7.2級，而美國地質調查局則測出7.4級，該地震發生在花蓮縣附近，造成了巨大的破壞。然而，台灣首都台北市儘管感受到強烈的震動，卻僅受到了輕微的損失。這種韌性歸功於台灣先進的地震防災能力，包括嚴格的建築法規、精密的地
