I think good content is generated by deep thought, not by repeating what an LLM says

IMHO, Mitchell Hashimoto[^1] is a good example for the community to learn how to cooperate with modern LLMs.

The use of incense to remember ancestors was spread widely across Asia by Confucianism. Chopsticks look quite similar to incense sticks, so it makes common sense to have this tradition.

Sharing my beloved ancient Chinese poem

山坡羊·潼关怀古张养浩

峰峦如聚，波涛如怒，山河表里潼关路。望西都，意踌躇。伤心秦汉经行处，宫阙万间都做了土。兴，百姓苦；亡，百姓苦。

Tune: “Sheep on the Hillside” —Tong Pass

Zhang Yanghao

Translated by Wayne Schlepp

Peaks as if massed,

Waves that look angry,

Along the mountains and the river lies the road to Tong Pass.

I look to the West Capital,

My thoughts unsettled.

Here, where the Qin and Han armies passed, I lament

The ten thousand palaces, all turned to dust.

Kingdoms rise,

The people suffer;

Kingdoms fall,

The people suffer.

> i.e. a way that I could testbed different runs without polluting history of both Git and Action runs.

How about writing a separate repo and testing it separately

In my mind, there are two types of businesses in the world: one is not particularly challenging but rather trivial, and the other is very high-tech.

Today, LLMs make the first type of business much harder.

Somehow, I'm starting to agree with Russia's reason for launching the war because Ukraine wanted to join NATO.

New comment by humanlity in "China's manufacturers are going broke"

humanlity — Sun, 18 Aug 2024 08:11:50 +0000

It’s amusing to see discussions about exotic markets like this. While I don’t agree with the CCP’s policies, I believe the issue is more related to free-market dynamics. Given today’s inflation, potential buyers are saving every penny. In China, unlike in the West, people spend based on their expectations and income, and they never resort to deficit spending.

Considering the market situation and geopolitical factors, it is foreseeable that labor-intensive, low-value-added manufacturers are going bankrupt. Frankly, Europe and the US face similar situations.

Regarding Taiwan and the South China Sea, the distrust of the East among Chinese people is influenced by historical experiences with North Korea, Japan, and Vietnam. However, in today’s world, war is a significant and serious issue, and ordinary citizens do not want to face its bitter consequences. What confuses me is that Western media often portray China as a threat, while Chinese mainstream media exaggerate these reports, deepening mutual hatred.

P.S. I’m Chinese.
