最近tiktok ban闹得沸沸扬扬，甚至有大批“洋难民”纷纷涌入小红书 ，把 "RedNote" 冲上了appstore 排行榜第一名。
无独有偶，看到 Paul Graham 一篇大作 《The Origins of Wokeness》，不愧是YC创始人，文笔流程优雅。开头就暴击。所谓 woke ，在维多利亚时代就是基督教义，在苏俄就是马列教义，woke 的本质是“社会公正”，老一的英语称为 prig。每个社会都有部份 prigs 人群，但是woke大行其道，pg分析，当前属于“第三次冲击”。第二波在80s年代政治正确达到顶峰90s消停。
那么第一波呢？第一波其实就是60s左翼学生运动。我晕，这不正是伯克利举着红宝书嗑LSD唱摇滚的年代么。pg说当年是教授纵容学生追求“新思潮”，但是学生一穷二白闹了也就完了。80s是pg自己上大学的时期，60s的大学生刚好进入教职岗位，开始引导自己的学生继续搞 political correctness，也就是举报性骚扰，要求男女平权这些；新世纪以来，特别是2020s，这些当年的左翼青年主导院长和校长等关键岗位了，所以闹得更欢了，从学界蔓延到媒体，到政界，到一发不可收拾。
搞 PC 最大的用处不在平权，而在于 faculty members encouraging students to attack other faculty members，作者说和 Mao 一毛一样 哈哈哈哈笑死。青年本来就愤，拿事搞人这就是天性啊。所以在第三波浪潮里就是各种 cancel culture。到后面的 BLM, metoo 等愈演愈烈。
最后作者提出了什么解决方案呢？他说
I'm not a Christian, but I can see that many Christian principles are good ones
我表示？只能说尊重但是不认同吧。看完这篇巨作最大的感受就是，墙内各种对平权热嘲冷讽，美国老美的平权运动居然起源60年代左翼运动。这他妈倒反天罡了等于是。
想起最近小红书刷出巨多洋人，不知道是推荐算法sb了，监管不到位洋信息“倒灌”了，还是都是抠脚大汉的矩阵号发力了，但是我对“赛博移民”有一个简单的理解，yt，ig 这些洋平台对 tiktok 难民来说就是“建制派”，不 hip，况且头部的power user已经铁板一块没法突破了；Twitter更烂因为Musk是烂中烂。老中的“第三方”平台，无论是 tiktok 还是 Rednote 都是一种无可奈何的逃避。捧起小红书的这帮洋人，恰如他们爷爷奶奶辈在60年代面对当地当局各种问题，捧起红宝书一样，是一种寄托。这下中西合流，家人们谁懂啊洋人虾头男，一个买断X一个入主白宫了。

I was planning to publish this article on 2024-04-05 00:01, but rejected because it looked silly for this blog. On that day, butt hurt as usual, I watched this short-vid called Why Sichuan people were chill, by the influencer 罗胖. I was quite amazed by his 3.79M many fans and more strangely, IP location: Sichuan. I followed the article he mentioned: 1001 A.D. and How Sichuan got its name? and find it quite interesting, as all history lessons are.
So let's explore the little known details and find out why history of Sichuan is somewhat special (Whig-style narrative alert!)
Records shows that the birthplace of Taoism, the most chill religion ever, points to 鹤鸣山 at 大邑, and the 青城山 nearby was considered a holy mountain. Some say 龙虎山 at 江西 as an alternative, but in my opinion its where the tianshi (prophet) 张道陵 pactice his alchemy rather than the developing the belief，The real deal including Wudoumi movement clearly originates from 龙门 mountain ranges on the western of Chengdu plain.
When I was searching for tourist attactions I found that 鹤鸣山 were suspiciously connected to Buddhism. Chinese Buddhism were first landed at 白马寺 at then capital 洛阳 at 68 B.C. But 白马寺 itself wasn't supposed to be a temple per se, but rather a settlement sponsored by the imperial court. There were nine houses of governance established by Han court covering Justice, Sacrifices, Royal affairs, Carriages and so on, one of them is 鸿胪寺 for Royal Hospitality. The 白马寺 was built by the order of the Second Emperor of E. Han as a guest house to translate the 42 chapters of Sutra acting like a 鸿胪寺. Some 6 years later, after the job were done, the two buddhist monks, 迦什摩腾 and 竺法兰, went to Sichuan seeking a legendary mountain called 雾中山 according a prophecy. The prophecy were carved on a Ming-era stele 开化寺碑记, describes the Buddha Shakyamuni, when about to enter Nirvana in the city of Kushinagar, once said to his disciple Sariputta:
“我灭去七百年，尔往震旦雾中大光明山。山脉发源于昆仑，有七十二峰，为古佛弥陀道化之所。严密保护，嗣后圣者来居。”
So the two Indian monks built a real Buddhism temple 开化寺 on 雾中山 and began spreading the religion there. It's said the temple had a collection of Pāli Canon transcribing Theravada Buddhism, one of the O.G. version of two Buddhism major branches in Asia.
So what's the connection anyway? The first prophet of Taoism, tianshi Zhang, chose 鹤鸣山 somewhere 10km near the first Buddhism temple
And later Taoism flourished in Sichuan, like Wudoumi, and ultimately, its variant Taiping-Tao, wrecked the mighty Han empire.
I also commented this travia on HN
The doctrine of religious Taoism and Buddhism were strikingly similar, which leds to series of conflicts and accusations over the millennia. The most famous example, Laozi Converted the Barbarians 老子化胡经 were publicly debated in Mongol-era imperial court and Taoist lost the battle.
Also an interesting article from HN Evidence of the use of silk by Bronze Age civilization, which I also commented, because some guy suggests Sichuan were once non-Han, it triggered me. TFA states (with my edits):
HuangDi lived on the hill of Xuanyuan and married the daughter of Xiling clan. HuangDi's consort Leizu of Xiling taught others to raise silkworms, and the legend Leizu is from the people of Chengdu in Sichuan. Shu refers to “mulberry worms” aka “silkworm larvae”. The character Shu is related to the initial sericulture, referring to the beginning of the Shu State and the people, for whom sericulture was central to their economic activities.
For those who aren't familiar, HuangDi the Yellow Emperor was considered the ancester of the Han, the Hun, the Hmong and Xianbei of the Siberians. The second son of HuangDi, married ChangPu from the Shu clan. Their son zhuānxū was another Di, out of the 5 Di of Ancient Kings 五帝
Baijiu, the Kaoliang liquor, strong distilled from great millet, were first introduced in Sichuan known as 蜀黍. Even today top notch brands like Maotai were from the Chishui Valley of Sichuan (administratively divided to Guizhou by purpose)
But what does Han has anything to do with Sichuan? Well everything does. The literal meaning of "Han" traces back to LiuBang, the Great King of Han, founder and first ruler of the Han dynasty, literally settled his fief over Sichuan (Ba, Shu, Hanzhong and its 41 counties). Liubang spent his next 5 years elimilated all his enemies and began the first Pax Sinica of 300 years.
The second Pax Sinica, led by the Great Worrier Li Shimin, also titled Yizhou Acting Desk of the Supreme Book. To explain, the Supreme Book refers to 尚书, the source of great power, the source of ultimate authority, one and only text that describes how Chinese civilization came into being since ancient times. The Desk is the government body where the book operates, Yizhou Acting Desk is like the copy that covers Sichuan, aliased Sichuan. The soldiers of Sichuan, as the last reserve force led by general 窦轨, joined Li Shimin for the final attack on Dou JianDe on 620 A.D. at the Hulao Pass, which leds to the live capture of two kings, and helped Li Shimin rose to throne.
The fighting spirit of Sichuan soldiers dates back. An oath was taken between Zhou and 8 partner states, including Shu, as described in the Supreme Book on Zhou chapter 4, to rebel against the cruel Shang dynasty. The battle took place at 牧野 on 1046 B.C. where the Ba people performed a war dance on the frontline and Shang army collapsed upon witness.
Libai, the God of Poetry, was raised in Sichuan, but where he's born is debatable. However, four out of the Eight Great Prose Masters, were born in Sichuan. So it's either Libai a Sichuanese or Ouyang Xiu, or both.
That's all of the trivia I could think of, for now! Leave a comment if you think otherwise. Feel free to correct my English mistakes please, as I am an ESL blogger without use of any AI

Linux服务器一直有个TCP连上来发数据，跑到对应的机器上发现连接已经断了，对应的进程也退出了。估计是某种定时任务。
排查代码无果，只能通过命令行来监控。这里直接上ss命令
while true; do pid=$(ss -tanpe state established 'dst 10.11.22.33:4455' | awk 'match($0,/pid=([0-9]+)/,a){print a[1]}'); [[ -n $pid ]] && tr '\0' ' ' </proc/$pid/cmdline ; sleep 0.2; done;
解释下：
while true; do ...; sleep 0.2; done;每0.2s反复刷新执行指定命令。ss -tanpe state established 'dst 10.11.22.33:4455'-t 选项表示显示 TCP 连接。-a 显示所有连接。-n 不解析主机名、端口。-p 显示进程信息。-e 显示额外的详细信息。state established TCP已连接dst 10.11.22.33:4455 过滤TCP目标地址+端口awk 'match($0,/pid=([0-9]+)/,a){print a[1]}' 提取出 pid[[ -n $pid ]] && tr '\0' ' ' </proc/$pid/cmdline 从procfs读取该进程启动时的命令和参数。且把空字符 \0替换为空格综合起来：不断地查询目标 IP 地址和端口的网络连接，找到与之相关的进程 ID，并显示该进程的命令行。每隔 0.2 秒刷新一次，持续监控这个连接对应的进程。
跑了一阵子，发现 $pid 可能有多行。囧，只能用双层 while 了：
while true; do ss -tanp state established 'dport = 2333' | awk 'match($0,/pid=([0-9]+)/,m){print m[1]}' | while read -r pid; do echo $(date '+%F %T') $pid $(readlink -f /proc/$pid/cwd) $(tr '\0' ' ' </proc/$pid/cmdline); done ; done;

老登们从来不抱怨环境差，因为环境差就是他们造成的。哈哈哈。开个玩笑。HN上看到一篇How to give a senior leader feedback without getting fired 如何在不丢工作的前提下，向资深管理者提出反馈，觉得有用。上班打工这么多年，发现沟通与影响力太真实了。摘录几条：
🚫 “新员工培训欠缺”——老登：“你懂完了？就你会培训？滚“
✅ “我们可能需要为新员工提供更多指导” —— “的确现有的培训不够，还得加强”
二元的指责，意味着要么有培训，要么没培训，意味着这是对老登领导地位的威胁。
🚫 “你应该试试 X 技术。”
✅ “我曾经为此而苦苦挣扎，当我尝试 X 时，它真的很有帮助。”
🚫 “这个项目麻烦您老给我们多指点”
✅ “我们发现，我们同客户每周都评审一轮设计稿时，他们往往对最终都比较满意；而对于现在这个项目，如果能在早期多确认一些事，可以帮助我们在某个方向上深入进展的时候，确保和目标是对齐的，并防止返工。”
🚫 “团队需要更明确定个优先级”
✅ “上个月当我们都专注于网站更新时，团队取得了大幅度进步；如果这个月，为团队制定一两个明确的重点事项，这样可以让每个人更加聚焦“
🚫 “我们应该花更多时间培训新人员工”
✅ “记得Steve来的第一周，都在投入培训，他很快就跟上了速度。一点前期时间投入看上去得到了很好的回报，为我们的下一位员工采用类似的培训方法，帮助他们同样快速地提高。你觉得怎么样？
作者推荐三个原则：
建议熟读英语的可以看看原文。作者还有一篇 如何给下属训话 我觉得写得也挺好。
翻HN的时候发现很惊人，大概意思是，如果你发现需要花言巧语(fluff up)才听得进去，那么高层已经烂透了，最好开始润色简历。。。。。好吧。作者这篇标题就叫在“不丢工作”的前提下如何向上反馈。都没错。人和人的信任在利益面前都很脆弱：职位低的担心自己，因为很有可能因为狗屁原因就莫名其妙丢了工作；职位高的最害怕丢脸，怕输给资历没自己老，职级比自己低的。陷入猜疑链了。highly effective communication 难呀。大多数评论是：不值得给老板提意见
🤣🤣🤣🤣

今天刷到个好玩的。先说下背景：
2019年，时任Twitter CEO 的 Jack Dorsey @jack 当时内部资助 五个去中心化的社交媒体项目，其中之一叫 Bluesky，后来由Jay Graber成立独立公司独立运营。其核心卖点是一个叫 AT协议 (Authenticated Transfer Protocol，有趣的是 AT 也是 @ 这个符号的称呼) ，基于这个协议搭建的分布式社交网络。官服和app上线叫 https://bsky.app 。
2022年10月，世界首富 Elon Musk $440亿刀买下Twitter，2024年大选推波助澜，在11月成功助力懂王 @realDonaldTrump 重夺总统宝座， 特别多X.com的“自由派”认为是天塌了，于是纷纷出逃。所以 bsky 用户增长迅猛，有超过 mastodon、Threads和nostr的趋势。
看过X的就知道上面的黄推、币圈电诈、民间政客特别多，如何在一个无法集中管理的网络里去掉杂音，保留有意思的内容，很具有挑战的。ATProto提出了一个概念叫做 Speech and Reach。我理解，它把言论自由和言论可触达性分开。你说啥话没人管，但是你的话谁能听见是另一回事。
Atproto's model is that speech and reach should be two separate layers, built to work with each other. The “speech” layer should remain permissive, distributing authority and designed to ensure everyone has a voice. The “reach” layer lives on top, built for flexibility and designed to scale.
说实话，当时我看到个设定觉得合理，但是不知道有啥用，直到今天我看到了Django（Python Web框架）的作者 Simon Willison @simonw 分享的一个有意思的玩法——挂人。
I am utterly delighted by this subversive use of the Bluesky label feature, where you can subscribe to a custom app that then adds visible labels to profiles
This one shows you which posh expensive private school British public figures attended, plus their current fees
https://bsky.app/profile/daddys.cash
是的你没看错，就是挂人。这个 daddys.cash （读作：爹滴点现金）账号的作用是，把 bsky.app 上正米字旗🇬🇧大V，上过私校的作为“标签”放到账号信息栏。甚至还包含私校的学费，时刻提醒你阶级差距。英国的私校是个圈子，非常抱团，在证界和商界非常具有影响力，这可太“同窗传承吾辈责”了。在评论区，你甚至还能看到有账号专注把正星条旗🇺🇸大V背后的政党派别和选举献金标出来。英美的内政和外交是有偏向性的维护这群人的世界观和利益。
为什么说这个功能是挂人？如果推广开了，这玩意极大降低了饭圈和小鬼们拿来给人贴标签的门槛，而且传播性极快。假如在一个平行世界里，bsky在国内上线，就现在的形式，很快🐒和🌸会形成两个阵营互相敌对对喷。
但如果你抛开网络论战，带入线下社交，这个功能可能会带来一个意想不到的效果——IRL的社会压力回来了。能在网络上肆无忌惮的彪悍发言，会考虑到今后被人 label 怎么办？实际上大多数人当着其他人的面说话还是很矜持的，得考虑个场合和面子。深怕别人背地里议论着你什么。这他人指指点点，不正好就是“贴标签”。
ATProto 的实现细节：
It's broadly a system for publishing metadata on posts called "Labels". Application clients specify which labeling services they want to use in request headers. Those labels get attached to the responses, where they can then be interpreted by client.
This is an open system. Clients can choose which labelers they use, and while the Bluesky client hardcodes the Bluesky moderation another client can choose a different primary Labeler. Users can then add their community labelers, which I describe below. We aim to do the majority of our moderation at that layer. There are also "infrastructure takedowns" for illegal content and network abuse, which we execute at the services layer (ie the relay).
技术上来说，一个内容顶真不顶，你自己可以选择 Label 供应商；传播上来说，如果你影响力超大，你说话就得委婉，考虑万一被人贴上不好的标签的后果。所以一开始atproto这个拆分 speech 和 reach 的设计就挺有意思。要么你口无遮拦嗓门小，你谨言慎行上热搜，发言是自由的，但是传播成什么样可不是你说了算。
这个机制当然也有很多问题，比如如果你是小人，你可以换各种马甲来诋毁和三人成虎。怎么办呢？实名制？social credit？
总之，这是一个有意思的设计。比X现在那套黑盒子封号，灵活的 community notes 更创新。@jack 这一波看来是真的懂这行搞出来的新玩意。

刷到个个视频 《桑迪.门罗：看到2500个中国人在求知若渴地上你的课，就都明白了！》。我对 Sandy Munro 这老爷子有点印象，之前他高呼看不懂美的的注塑工艺。
这个视频主持人和他中美汽车行业对比，主持人说中国车便宜是因为 labor 便宜。Sandy反驳：
最近网上所有聪明的老外都说只要引入自动化，然后寻找廉价的供货商，就能打败国内产业。国内聪明专家也大吹特吹，供应链优势。
但是这个说法，我觉得还需要进一步推敲。所谓供应链、原材料优势，其实归根结底就是上游产业优势。上游产业的成本构成呢？也是吃人的红利，然后转变为生产效率和成本优势。
汽车产业为啥被 off-shore 了，因为在金融行业看来，干实业的就是利润的material supply。没啥技术含量，赚钱的上限就在哪里。欧美大学里就没几个本地人读械制造专业。人都没有，更不要说人才了。
中国“制造”这个概念也很有意思，比如Apple喜欢说得很直白，这就是 assemble。但是你design 就不是assemble了？要硬拉扯，加州的工作，无非是把各种创意和工业设计拼凑到一起的功夫？在办公室打键盘，和在电子厂打螺丝，除了一个软一个硬，前者 manufacture 的是点子，后者是实物。
所以归根结底还是人矿优势。超负荷压榨。现在国内也没几个人读机械制造了。
