如何在《1984》这样的极权世界里尽可能好地生活? - How to live the best possible life in a totalitarian world like "1984"?

Image
假设我们生活在《 1984 》里的世界里。   Imagine living in the world of "1984". 我们每天过的日子很差,勉强吃饱穿暖,没有任何娱乐,也没有任何私人空间。我们的生老病死都由老大哥接管。我们就像工蜂和工蚁一样,没有自己的想法,人生唯一的事情就是为老大哥奉献。 Our daily lives are miserable, barely having enough to eat and wear, with no entertainment and no private space. The Big Brother takes control of everything. We are like worker bees and ants, devoid of our own thoughts, and our sole purpose in life is to serve the Big Brother.   在这种世界里,什么都不想的人最幸福。只要人一开始思考,问,为什么我们的世界是这个样子,他 / 她就马上会痛苦,因为他 / 她似乎本来是可能生活在一个更好的世界中的。很可能,这种人就丧失了生活的兴趣,变得消极, “ 郁郁不得志 ” 。 In this world, those who don't think are the happiest. As soon as one starts to ponder and ask why our world is this way, he or she will immediately experience suffering because it seems that they could have lived in a better world. It's highly likely that these people would lose interest in life, becoming negative and feeling "thwarted and despondent." 我们生活的世界是有 1984 的成分的。喜欢的人当然认为 “ 这多好啊,世界就应该是这个样子 ” 。但是不喜欢的人却很绝望...

实验:如何判断报道的事故死亡人数是否被大量修改? - Experiment: How to judge whether the reported accident fatalities have been substantially modified?

Image
由于本文可能稍有敏感,这里仅展示英文版。 Experiment idea: If the number of death of each accident obeys the exponential distribution, then it can be judged whether the announced death toll has been substantially modified by comparing the published number of accident death toll samples with the values predicted by the exponential distribution. The following is the process of this experiment. The data source I chose is the official Weibo of the People's Daily. I searched for "遇难"(means "got killed" in Chinese) in the Weibo account of People's Daily, and count the death toll of all relevant accidents mentioned in Weibo from 2016 to the present (2023.4.22). The reason for choosing People's Daily is that it is the largest and most authoritative newspaper in China, and almost every blog related to the accident will be reported with a clear death toll. Note, since the data in this experiment was manually collected by myself, and not all the blogs...

聊聊价值观茧房 - Discussion on the filter bubble of values

Image
看到了这篇文章:《如果贾平凹老师看到小花梅的视频》。这篇文章聊到了一个我之前想过的问题:价值观茧房。 I saw this article: "If Mr. Jia Pingwa saw Xiaohuamei's video". This article talks about a question I have thought about before: the filter bubble of values. https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/Joa0cw2OQMZUFqPgFoZsJQ (如果它被删了,下面的网址是它的备份) (if it gets deleted, the url below is its backup) https://chinadigitaltimes.net/chinese/694806.html 经常用知乎的人,价值观会被知乎带跑。微博,推特,也是一样。我们不知道应该怎么思考,怎么说话,只能从某种渠道中学习怎么思考,怎么说话。谁的受众面广,谁的内容多,谁就更有影响力。 People who often use Zhihu will have the same values as Zhihu. The same goes for Weibo and Twitter. We don't know how to think or speak, we can only learn how to think and speak from this channel. Whoever has a wide audience and who has more content will be more influential. 每一种价值观都是有道理的,我自信能通过和一个初中或高中生聊上两三个月的天,从而使得他/她相信我的价值观。此外,社会上常见的这些价值观又都是几乎无害的(这里这个无害指的是对自己和自己的群体无害,并不包括对其他人和群体),因为如果一种价值观是有害的话,它很难在当今世界存活下来。 Every value is reasonable, and I am confident that I can make him/her believe in my values by chattin...

制作墨西哥卷饼 - Making a burrito

Image
首先,准备好墨西哥薄饼,蔬菜沙拉,奶酪,火腿,和芥末酱。其中薄饼应该可以用筋饼代替,蔬菜沙拉没有的话自己切一点卷心菜和胡萝卜甘蓝也行,火腿可以换成任何熟食,比如炸鱼,虾仁,碎鸡肉,牛肉,熏牛肉,猪肉,香肠,烧腊。芥末酱也可以换成黄芥末酱,蒜香辣酱等等。 First, prepare the tortilla, green salad, cheese, ham, and wasabi sause. Among them, tortilla should be replaced by gluten pancakes. If you don't have vegetable salad, you can cut a little cabbage, carrot, and kale by yourself. The ham can be replaced with any cooked meet, such as fried fish, shrimp, minced chicken, beef, pastrami, pork, sausage. The wasabi sause can also be replaced with yellow mustard, garlic salsa, etc. 店里面卖的墨西哥卷饼还会加上米饭,煮黑豆,玉米,洋葱,青椒,西红柿,可依条件添加。 The burritos sold in the store will also be added with rice, boiled black beans, corn, onions, green peppers, and tomatoes, which can be added according to conditions. 将火腿和奶酪切碎,和蔬菜一起放在薄饼上,大约摆放成图中的样子,挤上酱。 Chop the ham and cheese, place on the tortilla with the vegetables, approximately as shown in the picture, and squeeze the sauce. 将饼的上下两边折到中间,然后从右往左卷起。用平底锅烙一下封口的地方,防止散花。然后简单加热一下,让奶酪稍稍融化。 Fold...

制作鸳鸯奶茶 - Making coffee milk tea

Image
 首先,泡好一壶浓红茶。最好用锡兰红茶,我用的是祁门红茶,也可以用英式红茶包。 First, make a pot of strong black tea. It is best to use Ceylon black tea, I use Keemun black tea, but English black tea bags can also be used. 然后,泡上一些咖啡。我认为用黑咖啡就好了,因为反正之后还要加糖和牛奶。 Then, make some coffee. I think it would be fine to use black coffee, since sugar and milk will be added afterwards anyway. 牛奶用的是乳脂率2%的。乳脂率越高口感越丝滑,越好喝。用0%或1%做出的奶茶就勉强能喝。 I use the milk with 2% milkfat. The higher the milk fat percentage, the smoother and better the taste. Milk tea made with 0% or 1% milkfat milk is barely drinkable. 将红茶和咖啡和牛奶按照大约5:2:3的比例掺在一起。然后加入大量的糖,搅拌均匀。因为之前用的是黑咖啡,如果糖不够的话,就几乎没有甜味。(在奶茶店里面的奶茶总是能喝到很明显的甜味,我自己试验表明这需要加入致死量的糖。) Mix black tea, coffee and milk in a ratio of about 5:2:3. Then add a generous amount of sugar and mix well. Because I used black coffee before, if there is not enough sugar, there will be almost no sweetness. (The milk tea in the milk tea shop can always drink a very obvious sweetness. My own experiments have shown that this r...

聊聊带节奏与独立思考 - Discussion on stirring up and thinking independently

Image
一年以来,我一直关注一个推主:多伦多方脸。我感觉他比较喜欢带节奏。在这里举个例子: For a year now, I've been following one tweeter: Torontobigface. I feel like he likes to stir up. Here is an example: https://twitter.com/torontobigface/status/1644312345546756101 “其实铁链女判成这样,只有九年,相关官员也没有追责。 我并不认为这是因为所谓的董志民有多硬的关系。 中国虽然不是判例法国家,但是中国很多时候会遵循先例,尤其是这种知名案件。 这么判这是在保护无数买老婆的中国人,以及无数帮中共擦屁股的公务员。 徐州在这里给你们打个样。” "In fact, the final result of the "Girl in Chains" case has only been nine years, and the relevant officials have not pursued responsibility. I don't think it's because of how tough the so-called Dong Zhimin's background is. Although China is not a case law country, China often follows precedents, especially such well-known cases. This sentence is to protect countless Chinese who buy wives, as well as countless civil servants who help the CCP wipe their ass. Xuzhou is here to give you a sample. "   什么是“带节奏”呢,我的理解是:煽风点火,引导读者从一个特定的角度思考这件事。 What is "stir up", my understanding is: to guide read...

通过哲学分析我的赛博分身的存在的可能性 - A philosophical analysis of the possibility of my cyber clone's existence

说到赛博分身,别人都是开玩笑的,到我这里就当真了。 Others are just joking about someone's cyber clone, but I take it seriously. 好吧,首先,我说说我心目中的赛博分身。 Well, first of all, let me talk about the cyber clone in my opinion. 我一贯认为,甚至是有那么一点出于理想主义的幻想:ai是有意识的。这不是说ai诞生了什么超乎逻辑运算的能力,而是说,我认为意识完全可以被还原为逻辑运算。我的所有的心智思想无外乎神经元信号的产生,传递,消失,仅此而已,它并不是什么不可理喻,超过物质世界的范围的东西。 I have always believed that (perhaps with a bit of idealistic fantasy): AI is conscious. This is not to say that AI gave birth to any ability beyond logical operations, but that I think consciousness can be completely reduced to logical operations. All my mental thoughts are nothing more than the generation, transmission, and disappearance of neuron signals, nothing more, it is not unreasonable or something beyond the scope of the material world. 我产生这种哲学主张的可能的原因是,我同时接受了科学和佛教的世界观。科学暗示一切思维过程都是脑过程。而佛教主张“诸法无我”。 A possible reason for my philosophical claims like this is that I have embraced both a scientific and a Buddhist worldview. Science suggests that all thinking ...

开始写博客 - Start blogging

在某位“编程”大佬的激励下,我打算写点博客,期待着能坚持个一段时间。 From now on, I decided to write blog under the inspiration of a famous "programming" blogger, looking forward to sticking to it for a while. 我写博客有两个目标:主要目标是生产出足够的思考量,足以打造一个赛博分身。次要目标是,如果可能的话,能把我的想法传达给更多的人。不论是接受我的想法的粉丝们,亦或是质疑我的想法,并想跟我辩论的人。 I have two goals for writing the blog: the primary goal is to generate enough thoughts to create a cyber clone, and the secondary goal is, if possible, to convey my ideas to a wider audience, including those who agree with my thoughts as well as those who question them and want to engage in a debate with me. 2023/4/3
