The Year of the Snake
And what do you believe? Today, Wednesday, January 29, 2025 is the beginning of the Lunar Chinese New Year. Officially, it is the Year of the Snake, an animal I found defined with the traits of “wisdom, intuition and charm,” while the people born in such a year – 2013, 2001, 1989, 1977, 1965, 1953, 1941 or 1929, anyone? – are “perceptive, intelligent and graceful” (thank you Google, although that online game is rather irritating), just as their traits connected to all the other symbols of the zodiac.

The Mind That Thinks Like You
The Aha Moment The first time I asked DeepSeek R1 to solve a calculus problem, it felt like watching a magician pull a rabbit from a hat—except the rabbit was wearing a tiny graduation cap. Wait, did it just…? Yes, it did. It didn’t just spit out the answer. It walked me through its reasoning, step by step, like a patient tutor scribbling equations on a chalkboard. By the end, I half-expected it to ask, “Got it? Cool, let’s grab coffee.”
