Agricultural technology in our country

 

Potatoes are delicious no matter how you eat them, whether fried, pancakes, stir-fried, or croquettes, and they are delicious no matter where you put them.

These potatoes are native to the Andes, but now our country is introducing potato farming.

 

 

Potatoes are so common and familiar to us that they may not seem difficult to grow, but they are actually quite tricky. Potatoes reproduce vegetatively, so we plant potatoes instead of seeds to grow them.

Even if we store seed potatoes, if they get infected, they will be passed on to the next generation, and if they spread, there is no answer.

 

 

So the key is to produce disease-free seed potatoes and store them safely. Our country is the first country in the world to develop hydroponic cultivation technology that can produce and propagate disease-free seed potatoes in the early 1990s.

 

 

Potatoes were a precious food that appeased the hunger of our people during the famine times, and due to our national characteristics, we never see anyone starving.

Our country has been providing seed potatoes and farming methods to 20 countries in Central America, South America, and Africa that are suffering from famine and food shortages, and is appeasing their hunger.

They even went to Ecuador, located in the Andes Mountains, the origin of potatoes, and increased potato production by 40% in one fell swoop,

solving the food shortage.. How far can Koreans go?? ㅎㅎ

Highway color guide lines

 

Did you know that there were no colored guide lines on the road until 2010?? Even though there were navigation systems, many drivers were confused and many accidents occurred because of it,

but a public official from the road construction company solved it with a single line.

 

 

At the time, when a fatal accident occurred at the Ansan Junction, where the roads were complicated and accidents were frequent,

it is said that he was instructed to come up with measures to help elementary school students know the way.

He said that he got the idea after seeing his children drawing with crayons at home. In Korea,

colored guide lines were used in places like subways and hospitals, but at the time, the use of color was restricted by the Road Traffic Act.

 

 

However, despite this, officials in charge actively pushed for reducing accidents, and a pilot application was made at the Ansan Junction where a fatal accident occurred in 2011.

The number of accidents, which had been over 20 per year, decreased to 3. It was later expanded nationwide, and it is said that there are currently over 900 locations.

 

According to one statistic, accidents at highway junctions and interchanges have decreased by 27%, and at intersections in Seoul, they have decreased by a whopping 50%,

so they are called the lifeline of the road. Last May, the road construction worker who first applied colored guidance lines to roads in Korea was recognized for his achievements and received a national medal.

It seems fortunate that there are such public servants who are dedicated to the country and its people. ㅎㅎㅎㅎ

Koreans love iced americano

 

Koreans really like cold food. They say cold water is so bad, so why do they like it so much?

 

 

In our country, we started eating frozen yogurt with the baby, and put ice in noodles, and even in winter, we go to Sulbing to eat shaved ice, and even if we freeze to death,

we drink iced Americano. We are a country that is serious about cold food.

 

 

Even foreign countries that used to hate iced Americano are now starting to drink it, calling it K-culture. It is said that Koreans drink an average of 353 cups of coffee a year,

which is twice the global average, and 76% of them drink cold coffee. Even in January, when the cold is at its peak, more than 50% drink iced coffee.

 

After seeing this, foreign media introduced iced Americano as our country’s unofficial national drink, using words like “eoljuk-ah” and “a-ah.” At this point,

it seems like it should be called Koreano, not Americano. Eoljuk-ah was our country’s unique coffee culture

 

 

In recent years, as the consumption of cold drinks has begun to increase among young people overseas, the American media has been reporting news such as,

“It’s iced coffee season all year round.” and “Americans are obsessed with iced coffee.” 45% of young people in their 20s who enjoy drinking coffee drink iced coffee every day,

and Starbucks’ cold drink sales account for 75%, a whopping double that of 10 years ago. It seems like the cause of our country’s culture of being cold is the culture of being fast,

fast, but isn’t it actually because we’re angry at the state of our country these days?

People in the vegetable

 

Koreans eat everything well. Except for things they can’t eat, they eat everything. In fact, they seem to eat things they can’t eat.

Vegetables are a typical example.. They stir-fry them, boil them, and eat them… It’s the first full moon of the lunar year. Have you eaten five-grain rice?

Vegetables with five-grain rice.. It’s the icing on the cake, and my mouth is watering all of a sudden.

 

 

Back to the main topic, among the vegetables, Bracken fern, which contains carcinogens, is soaked and boiled and eaten, and the burdock,

which is poisonous and causes headaches, diarrhea, and vomiting, is boiled in salt water and eaten, and the coneflower, which causes food poisoning, is only eaten when young before it becomes poisonous.

 

 

Even in ancient times, there were detailed records of vegetables that could be eaten and how to eat them in the emergency relief and poetry tour, etc.

Jeong Yak-yong’s second son, Jeong Ha-gyu, wrote a farmer’s training song, and he was so serious about vegetables that he compared vegetables to the taste of meat.

t was because there was nothing to eat at the time, but since no other country had such a developed vegetable culture, it’s even more surprising.

 

 

In the West, herbs and vegetables are eaten, but compared to our country, they are very few and are mostly used for medicinal purposes. In Asia, people enjoy eating wild greens relatively,

but even in China, where they eat all kinds of food, Chwinamul is registered as a cosmetic ingredient and Gondre is registered as a medicine.

Now, the Korean food craze is blowing all over the world, but the demand for our wild greens is not increasing.

It is said that the reason is that they do not pass the safety evaluation because there is no basis for eating them… Wild greens are so delicious… ㅎㅎ

What is Deep Chic?

Deepseak is all the rage these days!! Some of you may be wondering what Deepseak is, but I think it would be good to know, so I’ve summarized the reasons why the Chinese AI Deepseak is all the rage.

First of all, in terms of performance, it is not much better than the US AI. But it is not that bad either. Based on the benchmark, it is currently showing a performance of around 5o from gpt4o, so it can be considered a leader. But its true value is that it is cheap.

It’s all cheap The model development cost is cheap and the printing cost is cheap. It only cost 8 billion won to develop this. Above all, AI development has focused on improving performance so far, but the problem is that the data and cost required to improve performance increase exponentially as the peak approaches. Deepseek doesn’t have that kind of money, and it’s hard to obtain high-performance H chips in large quantities due to the US’s sanctions on Chinese semiconductors, so it turned to efficiency instead. To put it simply, if traditional AI records up to 32 decimal places, what if Deepseek records only up to 8 decimal places? It’s accurate enough.

As a result, memory usage was reduced by 75%, and operating costs were reduced by 95% because it was built to call in experts only when necessary, rather than requiring one person to know all the knowledge of doctors, lawyers, developers, etc. In addition, it was released as open source. Meta was partially releasing the source code, and Open AI and Google had a tendency to hide it completely, but DeepSeek made it all public, so the response seemed to be bigger.

DeepSec was built to call experts only when necessary, instead of requiring one person to have the knowledge of all the doctors, lawyers, and developers, resulting in a 75% reduction in memory usage and a 95% reduction in operational costs. It was also released as open source. Open AI is also nervous, and has announced that the O-3 Mini, which used to be available for $200 per month, will now be available for $20. While the US still leads in performance in AI, China is working on a strategy of providing decent performance at a very low price, which will make the AI ​​industry nervous.

AI industry, a stumbling block to nuclear phase-out

As the AI ​​industry grows at a frightening pace, there are things that are changing rapidly. It is the demand for electricity, and because of this electricity, the nuclear phase-out policies of advanced countries are being scrapped.

We all know that the AI ​​industry is the most important industry among future food sources, right? But this AI requires a lot of electricity that is incomparable to existing industries. It has reached a level that cannot be handled with existing electricity alone.

And because of the lack of electricity, many countries have started to increase power plants, especially the construction of nuclear power plants. The problem is that the transition to eco-friendly energy was taking place mainly in advanced countries, but countries that had been insisting on the abolition of existing nuclear power plants because eco-friendly energy could not support the AI ​​industry began to quietly change their stance.

Even the world’s leading investment firms, such as Bank of America and Goldman Sachs, which used to say that eco-friendliness is the industry of the future, are changing their existing positions and are planning to drastically increase their investment in nuclear power plants.

Also, the demand for copper, the rice of the AI ​​industry, is skyrocketing, and since the AI ​​industry is centered on power supply and demand, securing copper to transmit power is not just a private matter, but is leading to a competition between countries. The United States and China have already designated copper as a strategic mineral and are sweeping up copper mines in South America and Africa, so it is said that the country that secures copper is expected to win the AI ​​industry.

What will happen to the gold investment tax?

Do you know about the gold investment tax that will be implemented next year?? There may be some who are not interested, but let’s learn a little about it on this occasion. The gold investment tax is a financial investment income tax. It literally means that if you make money through investment, you have to pay taxes. If it is implemented, if you make more than 50 million won in domestic stocks, you will definitely have to pay taxes. A whopping 22%

You may think it’s just a law to collect more taxes, but it’s not a simple problem. First, the exchange rate will rise, and it’s obvious that domestic stock funds will fall out a lot. That’s the money. Where does it go? The exchange rate has to rise further as it is exchanged into dollars, and real estate prices will rise accordingly. That’s because the money will also flow into real estate.

This will also be a big burden for young people who need to buy real estate. Some people may say it doesn’t matter because they invest in US stocks, but it does matter. After the implementation of the gold investment tax, it will change to withholding tax.  In other words, if you make 100 million won in US stocks, you will receive 80 million won after deducting 20 million won in taxes…ㄷㄷ

The important thing is, if you lose 100 million won after that, will you automatically get 20 million won back?? No, you have to file a tax refund, which is incredibly complicated. And if you charge the big players a 22% tax, they will just run away, which will soon lead to a slump in domestic stocks.

It’s not a simple problem. The funny thing is, they say they’re collecting taxes from the top earners, but they’re also saying that they’re going to give tax breaks to the investments of members of the National Assembly…. The KOSDAQ trading funds are already noticeably decreasing just because of concerns about implementing the gold investment tax, but they’re saying that it has to be implemented next year, so what are we going to do…

Pushing the subway

Recently, subway photos uploaded overseas have become an issue, and our country’s subways are becoming the object of envy. In our country, it is so natural to wait in line when waiting for the subway, but in the US, they say you wait with your back against the wall.

The reason is said to be the recent surge in subway pushing, which involves pushing people waiting onto the tracks as soon as the train enters.

It is said to be one of the crimes that do not ask. Our country’s subway, which is considered the best in the world, has screen doors installed at almost all stations, so there is no need to worry about such crimes. It is said that foreigners are quite surprised and envious because it is a part that is really hard to see overseas.

In Korea, most screen doors were installed starting in 2002 for the purpose of accident prevention, and most of them were installed throughout the 2010s. Not only do they prevent accidents, but they also provide perfect soundproofing, dustproofing, and unexpected waterproofing, and they even prevent trains from flooding, and they block the air from the outside, reducing heating and cooling costs by nearly 30%.

The US is also trying to install screen doors, but the gap between doors is different for each subway and the platforms are also different, so the installation cost per station is nearly 10 times that of our country, which is causing great difficulties. I feel grateful once again for the various convenient facilities in our country that I thought were natural.
