Why a field?

You can’t see a field.You only see what it moves.

I’m Maxwell. I study computer science, write, and build small tools for myself. This is where I put what I’ve been thinking about.

01 — Writing

Long, and rare.

Written in Chinese, each with a short English abstract.

Travelling to the future is allowed by the rules; travelling back probably is not.

我为什么写博客
Being able to explain something clearly, to someone else, is the only real proof that you understand it.
02 — About

I’m Maxwell — born in 2005, grew up in Guangdong, now at school in southwest China. I’m curious about the world, and I like thinking about what things really are, underneath.

Right now
  • Studying computer science — back at school this year.
  • Remote work on Chinese speech data for AI.
  • Building small tools for myself: an English reading marker, and a personal agent that keeps track of things.
  • Writing a WeChat public account, in Chinese.
Questions I keep coming back to
  1. 01Once AI can do most things for us, what is still worth learning, and doing?
  2. 02Time, in physics — time dilation, time travel, the closed loops in Dark.
  3. 03An idea from psychology I can’t let go of: “what I should do” is often a brake, not an accelerator.
The first comment
A while ago I posted an article about drinking water, and got my first comment. It was from a reader in their fifties, who said it was the first time they’d realised the way they drank water might have been wrong. For a moment I couldn’t quite believe it: something I wrote had actually helped someone.
Why a field

In 1865 James Clerk Maxwell described the electromagnetic field — something you never see directly, only through what it moves.

Cubing since primary school. Best 3×3: twenty-something seconds.

03 — Made

Small things, mostly for myself.

  • Foglight
    While reading English, I mark only two things: words I don’t know, and parts I don’t get. Then I go over them with AI.

  • Personal agent
    I’m feeding it my diaries, chat logs and the people in my life, so it knows who I am and what I’ve been up to before it helps with anything.
    In use
  • Bubble Night
    A small puzzle game in the browser. Tap a group of same-coloured bubbles to clear it; the bigger the group, the higher the score. Each group pops outward from your finger one bubble at a time, with a falling run of water-drop notes. Works on phones too.
