Blogs and Articles#

I plan to record some interesting blogs and articles I have read.
I will briefly write down the reasons for recommending the blogs, although I can't really call it a recommendation, because I think these bloggers can all be considered experts that I need to learn from.
I will briefly record my feelings about the articles, but I will avoid turning them into summaries of the articles.

I feel that this title does not summarize the content of my article well, but I haven't thought of a better one yet.

Blogs#

• plantegg - Related to computer networks, with a lot of valuable content.
• Plum's Blog - The author is interesting and has a wide range of interests. The blog has been continuously updated for over a decade.
• Free Mind - It has thoughts, popular science, and abundant content.
• JM233333's Blog - The author is a doctoral student at Nanjing University and also an assistant for the jyy operating system course.
• SEUITE - I accidentally discovered this association that used to exist in the school. From the remaining content, it can be seen that it was a very interesting club, but unfortunately it did not continue.
• Soul Logic - I followed the author on Twitter before discovering this blog. I envy the author's experiences.
• Luo Hao's Personal Blog - A senior student's blog. From being in college in 2017 to the last blog post about gout precautions, it can be seen that they have gone through a lot. What attracts me the most is their summary of monthly expenses. Although it may not be very useful for me, it still gives me a glimpse into possible future lives.
• Blog of Insanity - Updated since 2005, with abundant content. The blogger has extensive knowledge. The slogan of the blog is "Reading is to cover your eyes." I haven't figured out what it means yet.
• ::Nothing but SAi - The blogger is the founder of Bangumi. The blog has been active from 2005 to 2011. At the age of 21 in 2011, the blogger had already achieved a lot. I am also 21 years old now, and I feel ashamed in comparison.

Articles#

• What You Love Is Your Life
  I quite like reading other people's annual summaries. It's like opening a window to understand a stranger's life for a year. But I don't have the courage to write my own annual summary and post it online. Speaking of this article, I agree with this passage.

  Sometimes I think, what the Internet brings me is more time wasted. Sometimes, should I return to simplicity and do more "offline" things? For example, take out the books I once bought, open the unopened music CDs, find the 3DS that has been collecting dust, and enjoy those precious things from the time before we were kidnapped by the restless Internet. Perhaps this is a better choice for me, and I will also gain more improvement.

  I spend a lot of time browsing Twitter and Tieba, even though these fragmented things are often forgotten after being browsed. I think my time deserves a better destination.

• Practicing AI Research

  • This sentence left a deep impression on me. It is inspiring.

    doing research is a skill that can be learned through practice, much like sports or music.

  • When talking about sunk costs, the author said, "it's important to identify sunk cost fallacies." My understanding is that when you need to make a decision, you should make it decisively without considering sunk costs.

• Reflections After Fang Binxing's Lecture

  • I felt it was quite a coincidence when I saw this article because I had previously followed the author on Twitter. Now I accidentally came across his thoughts on attending a lecture ten years ago when he was still in college. It feels great.
  • Another feeling is that even though ten years have passed, this article is still relevant. The Great Firewall has even become higher. The author's speculation in the article, "I wonder, if we enter an open and free civil society twenty years later, and the wall is gone, what would President Fang think of his actions?" There are still ten years left until the twenty years mentioned at that time.
  • But recently, I have noticed something that makes me happy. I see many classmates around me using ChatGPT. And using it requires a proxy.

• Elden Ring PvP and Theory of Mind

  • It's very interesting. The author talks about PvP and Theory of Mind (ToM), and explains the concept of ToM well. I think the author did a good job of popularizing the concept. It not only explains the concept clearly but also sparks further interest in the reader, at least for me.
  • The article mentions AI language models. It reminds me of LLM that I have read before. If it continues to develop, it may have a similar effect to mind reading, predicting what you will do next or even what you are thinking. I think this is feasible to some extent because many so-called mind reading techniques today are based on observing micro-expressions and analyzing past behavioral patterns and experiences.

• A Meaningful Night of Staying Up

  • The author's experience of customizing a keyboard.
  • I consider myself a semi-mechanical keyboard enthusiast and have been exposed to some custom keyboards, but I have always stayed at a very basic level. So I read this article with great enthusiasm.

• My Zheng Laosan Has Passed Away

  • The author commemorates their cat.
  • Very touching.

• Is Internet Technology Ten Years Ahead of Game Backend Technology?

  • The technology behind the internet experience that we now take for granted is astonishing.

• Analysis of the Sophistry in a Typical Tweet by Mr. Chu Ma

  • Interesting.

• Fire And Motion

  • The author has a point in the article: large companies constantly iterate their technology, partly to make their competitors exhausted, "has no choice but to spend all their time porting and keeping up, time that they can't spend writing new features."

  Maybe as a software developer I really can't control when I'm productive, and I just have to take the slow times with the fast times and hope that they average out to enough lines of code to make me employable”

• The past is not true

  • I haven't read the article yet, but I was amazed by this website. It's short and beautiful.
  • After reading it, it makes me miss the English reading comprehension questions I used to do. They have a similar structure: a story and the author's insights.
  • There is a sentence in it that I think is worth noting:

    We think of the past like it’s a physical fact - like it’s real. But the past is what we call our memory and stories about it. Imperfect memories, and stories built on one interpretation of incomplete information. That’s “the past”.

• Summary of My First Year of Pursuing a Ph.D.

  • Pursuing a Ph.D. seems too distant for me, but I think the last paragraph is worth noting:

    Of course, the most important thing for me personally is to believe that everything will come to an end. I met a roommate of a classmate before, from another major, and we talked about what to do if we failed a course, couldn't find a job, and had to return to China, getting involved in a new Cultural Revolution. I said, "In the worst case, I can still jump off a building." He said, "In the worst case, I can just lie in the mud and eat grass to survive." The room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

    I think, in such an era, we really need some kind of enlightenment like this to live more easily.

  • Recently, I sometimes feel anxious, but I have found a method that I think is quite good for relieving it. I assume the worst-case scenario happens, and then I think, even if that happens, I won't be able to survive. Once I accept this possible worst outcome, I usually don't feel as anxious anymore. So when I saw this paragraph, I smiled.

• Information Processing in the Human Body
  The human body is truly amazing.

• A Brief Discussion on Naming in Programming

  • I agree with almost everything. I have noticed the second point before, but I haven't implemented it yet.
  • Recently, when naming things, I like to use the full name because I think abbreviations are easy to forget over time.
