Fledge 的碎碎念

最近写 Rich Text Editor 和 AttributedString 搏斗的有点烦躁。

John Gruber:

TheElec reported last June

 that Sony only had the capacity to manufacture 900,000 OLED panels per year for Vision Pro, which, if true, would cap Vision Pro headset production at 450,000 units. 

The Information reported in August

 

that this display bottleneck “is one reason why Apple plans to make fewer than half a million Vision Pros in the first year of production”.

Tyler Cowen:

The ties of the dollar to gold had been cut recently as well, as Bretton Woods turned into floating exchange rates. 1970s macro was a strange thing!

现在的经济看上去也挺奇怪的,难道美元又何什么关联物无关了吗,比如石油之类的。

坐在车站等车,旁边的人在 Instagram 上看短剧,果然文化出海做得好的都是真正的娱乐产品吗……

醒园录·假烧鸡鸭法:

将鸡鸭宰完洗净,吹系砍字之误作四大块,擦甜酱下滚油烹过,取起,下砂锅内,用好酒、清酱、花椒、角,茴同煮,至将熟,倾入铁锅内,慢火烧干至焦物经火烧而变黄。此处,非今人指烧成焦炭,当随进翻转,勿使粘锅。

读饿了。

有点心神不宁,不知道为什么。

看到 DIYGod 正在做一个类似 Reeder 的 Web RSS 阅读器,多一个 RSS 阅读器总是不错的。

维舟居然去带货了,有点哑然。

Monica Sobchak:

I would go further than this, since history isn’t mere material for ideology, rather it is a tool that can be used to answer fundamental questions about a country’s identity and purpose. History can also both explain and be used to justify actions by a country’s leaders.

这就是为什么人人都应该去读一下 Margaret MacMillan 写的《The Uses and Abuses of History》。

有些歌一定要日式英文口音唱才有感觉,是不是就和《Young For You》一定要用 Gala 乐队那种中式英文唱才有感觉一样。

如果在手机上也有一个类似 MarsEdit 的 Microblog 功能的 App 就好了……

这些 SEO 的插件喜欢乱改网站的 RSS 就很烦……

看到了一个服务能把 RSS 内容直接转发到 Mastodon 上,UI 看起来不错,体验试试。

不太喜欢把 RSS 和「高质量信息」、「提升效率」之类的关键词联系在一起。RSS 应该就是一种普通的工具,你可以用来订阅任何你想看的东西,不要太在意是不是什么所谓的「高质量信息」。越是追求这种,其实越不会有人用。

最近 RSS 订阅的一些小调整

新增了一个叫做 Timeline 的分类,专门用来放一些实时新闻或者更新量大的内容,用来满足想刷刷内容的需求。

我现在这种博客的用法,我觉得反倒是博客正确的用法,没有人说博客文章一定要超过二百五十个词吧,也没有人说博客一定要有标题吧。

高能量:

中国经历了一个类似于美国历史上的“镀金时代”,在这一时期,社会呈现出繁荣和喧闹的景象,消费行为往往带有炫耀性质。现在,随着社会的发展,消费观念开始变得更加理性,但理性中也会有一部分高端的消费,包括短途旅游、体育娱乐、演唱会等,这种有非常高确定性的个人体验性的服务会很快增长。

这不得不提一本书了,Yuen Yuen Ang 写的《China’s Gilded Age》。

@PaulDavisThe1st:

A lot of people don’t know that before Amazon started, there was a company out of Portland, OR called Bookstacks selling books via a telnet interface. In the early days, Bezos was quite worried about their potential to get “there” first (wherever “there” was going to be). It was a fairly cool interface, at least for 1994.

站在二零二四年回头看,好酷。

Business Insider:

This, I think, is what explains what people are calling the “vibecession”: the weird state of feeling like we’re in a recession even though all the standard metrics show we’re not. What we’re experiencing is actually a slowdown in white-collar hiring — and white-collar professionals (me and my angsty friends) are the people who shape the public discourse about the economy. “People feel that things are moving in the wrong direction,” says Guy Berger, the director of economic research at the Burning Glass Institute, which analyzes the labor market.

我是亲身经历了现状,工作真的找不到,真的是个困难且奇怪的时代。

The Verge:

Microsoft invested $1 billion in OpenAI in 2019 because it was “very worried” that Google was years ahead in scaling up its AI efforts. An internal email, titled “Thoughts on OpenAI,” between Microsoft CTO Kevin Scott, CEO Satya Nadella, and co-founder Bill Gates reveals some of the high-level discussions around an investment opportunity in the months before Microsoft revealed the partnership.

微软因为害怕 Google 而花大价钱投资 OpenAI,五年后反倒威胁了 Google 的地位,真的有点哭笑不得。

Thomas S. Mullaney 的新书《The Chinese Computer》,内容是中文如何电子化的。但我印象中前几年已经有本类似的书了,叫做《Kingdom of Characters》,不知道这两本内容上有什么区别。

下一个目标大概是要给我这个小小的 Microblog 主题加上 Dark Mode 以及开源吧。
不过离开源应该还有点距离。

新闻实验室播客第四十三期

[26:07]

对我来说就是跟香港学生的接触,本地学生会完全不一样。你会发现他们问的问题,是那种很细的专业性的问题,这是第一个。第二个就是他们真的是对内地的感知和认识很少很少很弱很弱。

……

我们不是去那个我们去浸会去开了一场吗?然后他们是因为他们大多应该全部吧,几乎都是香港学生本科大四的,但都是新闻传播专业的。但他们就对内地的情况几乎应该是不了解,因为我发现我们在上面讲了他们没有什么反应。然后后面到提问环节的时候,有一个学生问:「你在内地做报道担不担心被警察抓?」他可能会觉得在内地做报道的时候,动不动就会被人带走抓起来,这个我就是挺常见的。

这也是我之前和台湾朋友聊天的时候聊起的,虽然香港比起台湾来说好不少,但是两岸三地之间那种互相无知感依旧很强,这种不关心和无知非常让人讨厌。

The Verge:

Instagram is making significant changes to how its system recommends content, with a focus on original content and increased distribution for smaller accounts. The slew of changes were announced by the company in a blog post today.

Instagram 现在打开内容全是二手短视频,真的看不下去。

第一财经:

就在农夫山泉推出绿瓶纯净水之际,纯净水品牌怡宝母公司华润饮料(控股)有限公司向港交所主板提交上市申请。

原来怡宝是华润旗下的。

MKBHD 出了 Rabbit R1 的测评,但是我看到一半就看不下去了,已经对 AI 硬件失去的兴趣了,哪怕是 Teenage Engineering 做的。

最近看到的一个比较有意思的播客是方可成和其他几位主播做的《父能量》,一个站在父亲角度的育儿播客。

Is the U.S. becoming more paranoid?:

One well-known contributor to social paranoia is the media we consume. News outlets give more attention to negative than positive events, a strategy that boosts viewership but also presents a misleading worldview. True crime, popularized by bestsellers like Truman Capote’s 1965 novel In Cold Blood and optimized by the current generation of streaming service documentaries about serial killings, kidnappings, and other forms of rare and ultraviolent crime, takes advantage of our morbid curiosity — the irrational urge to obsess over that which makes us uncomfortable and deeply afraid.

这就是为什么我们需要 Explanatory Journalism

Pew:

Most Americans are wary of social media’s role in politics and its overall impact on the country, and these concerns are ticking up among Democrats, according to a new Pew Research Center survey of U.S. adults. Still, Republicans stand out on several measures, with majorities believing major technology companies are biased toward liberals.

Master 的课程结束了,最后也没有找到工作,该准备回国了。

红星新闻:

据红星新闻,对于网友所质疑的,发生碰撞后为何车门无法打开的情况。汽车客服曾回应媒体称,目前大部分车辆无自动解锁功能,这起事故中当时司乘已失去意识,无法从车内打开车门。不管是否是隐形门把手,外部施救只能砸车窗。
就此,红星新闻记者咨询了一名汽车安全行业的业内人士,其表示,此前无论是传统的燃油车还是新能源车型,也无论是否是隐藏式门把手,正常情况下都对车门解锁有相关的安全要求,即在发生碰撞时或出现故障时,能够自动解锁车门。

华为这回麻烦大了

最近我开始慢慢进入一种 Full Screen 模式的工作流,大量的内容被放入各种不同的 Screen 里。

啊,好烦,现在各个网站都有短视频,随便打开一个网站就会陷入进去……

我一直不太懂 Read Later 之类 App 的作用,之前尝试了一下类似的功能,感觉文章一旦放入 Read Later,就是永远不会再读了。Read Later 感觉更像是个收藏夹。

晚点的这篇介绍出海电商的文章不错,算是一个好的梳理。但是我还是觉得这些出海电商的风险很大,虽然现在看来是个好的生意,但是不知道能不能长久,Temu 和 Shein 其实都有很大的合规风险。

读《The anxious generation》总有一种很奇怪的作者 Jonathan Haidt 非常保守的感觉,这让我总是想起现代积极心理学研究者会和教会走得很近这件事,一些奇奇怪怪的感觉和联想。

做了一个噩梦,梦见自己表妹变成鬼要咬我。

Eugen Rochko:

We’ve always been worried that developing Free and Open Source Software would not be recognized as a charitable cause by the German tax system, so we were glad when the tax office originally approved our non-profit status in 2021. But now we have received a notice from the same tax office that our non-profit status has been withdrawn. This came with no advance warning or explanation. Earlier this year we went through a successful tax audit, which in fact resulted in some favourable adjustments as we’ve been paying too much tax. Our tax advisor immediately submitted an appeal to the decision, but so far, we have no new information.

我不是很理解为什么的德国政府要撤销这个……

不知道为什么 MarsEdit 不支持 <code> 标签,但是我发现可以很简单的加上自定义格式,所以也还行。

读英文书还是比较累,感觉这种事没有什么好的办法,只能每天设定好时间多读。无他,唯手熟尔。
