My father is red-green color blind. And frankly speaking, until he told me, I never noticed that. And he even got a driver's license in the old days (I mean 198X).

While I'm lucky enough to have full color vision, I find myself can't imagine how color blind see the world. Sometimes I wondering if I'm color blind but just don't know that. (Several tests on the internet said I'm perfectly fine)

The thing is, how I can tell I'm color blind if I don't know what color I don't know? When talking about the flavor, I found my father and I are not sensitive to the taste of sour, while my mother is. For the same dishes, my mother thinks it is unacceptable sour, while my father and I think it's not sour enough. If I can't taste the sourness at all, how do I know I have that defect?

I'd rather not think this deep hole of a thing of philosophy. I guess it's a philosophy thing. Surely it's not literature.

Tried the "Dolphin 2.5 Mixtral 8X7B" LLM. It's an uncensored model, so it can tell you how to cook meth or make a nuclear bomb. But I don't have enough knowledge to let it tell me how to do it precisely.

Anyway, I noticed the LLM have different performance on different languages. Multi lang support is fairly normal for LLM nowadays, but English is significantly better than expensive languages like Chinese and Japanese. Not only on speed (one token can be one English word, or one Chinese character), but also the result. The model is fairly shy and doesn't spill out a lot in Chinese. If you force it to generate more details, it's just repeat the same thing. However in English, it gives a more detailed answer by default.

可是手段本身太假了啊喂

For anyone who want to challenge, unless you have serious gears, like professional wind goggles (not like my 3M protection goggles, which can't work properly with my normal glasses) and colthes, I highly recommend you ride in door.

The main road is not that bad. Thanks to cars, the temperature is slighty warmer so I can ride. But then I turn into a side road and the temperature dropped immediately and the wind feels like knife, hurting my face.

The glasses are also an issue. If I ware wind goggles, then when I stop, the steam built up to my inner glasses. The fog will disappear when I start moving but blur sight is not good for my health when acrossing busy acrosses. I then tried taking off the wind goggle, the fog stop accumulating on the inner glassed, but then the wind makes my eyes shed tears and it's freezing cold! Can't open my eyes when the wind is blowing.

Went out for a bike ride yesterday in -6C temperatures. I thought I was prepared for everything: windproof jacket, wind goggles, scarf, ski gloves, heating pad. But I was still too young. It was too damn cold.

Lesson learnt: don't ride in sub-zero temperatures. Just stay in door and keep warm.

Recently I'm thinking about purchasing a new watch. My old watch is destoryed during the bike crash in Oct.

Being hesitated on a metal g-shock square, with a electric coated blue circle, about 500 USD (GMW-B5000PC-1). Still not very like it, the blue is kind of green-ish and the whole watch is silver-ish white. And I hate bluetooth on my watch, I don't need it.

On a second thought, I purchased 2 almost new second hand watch which are the same model as my old one (GW-M5610BA-1JF), costing only 300 USD in total. It's not the flagship model, but I like it :)

Also, after a careful visual check, it appears that my old destoryed watch only have damage on the front glass and the resin strap, the core/movement is totally fine (the button is fine, illuminator is working, beeping sounds loud and clear, the multiband wave function is not test because I can't get the signal here).

Today I'm going visit a caiso repaire shop and see if they can fix this "JF" watch (the casio watch that only sold in Japan) here in China, but if I can, then I'll get 3 identical watches. Based on g-shock's reputation, I think I can rest my whole life on them. No need to buy more watch😋

You know it's not your problem if you can't get a job, when you see someone start talking about can't get a job in the comment aera of a random video, while government stop announcing the unemployment rate and keep saying the economic is doing well.

Yesterday I was trying to read Principles of Economics to figure out WTF is going on in the economic. Something like why I can't find a job and so do others; WTF is regression and why government keep not admit it. All that kind of stuff started since I start watching news, and I noticed I don't understand what they're talking about.

And the reading? All I remembered is I start reading at 2pm and then wake up at 5pm.

I might not figure out the economic, but I do figure out a way to sleep well, LOL

喜报: Discourse #ActivityPub Plugin 已经开始支持不同Discourse站点之间的互连

Just to let you guys know, we just merged the PR that allows a Discourse category to follow any actor in the fediverse, including other Discourse categories. Yes, that means you can now federate a category between two (or three, or more) Discourses. There’s a few more PRs in the pipeline as part of this phase, but that was a big one.

Here’s a video me federating across two Discourse instances and a Mastodon instance running on my computer
