封锁我一生

0xSorosPublished on 2024-08-09Last updated on 2024-08-09

小区草地里的草淹没了脚跟,晚风微凉,Shadow像一位暗夜使者在草堆里疯了似的跑。一个多月过去,青草已经长发及腰地弯了下来。尽管小区是防范区,也只有零星行人在散步。今晚是第一次在小区遛狗。

很奇怪,也许是在家里封闭久了,明明在小区里闲逛是一件再正常不过的事,现在却觉得有些偷鸡摸狗,甚至像犯了罪,生怕迎面撞上穿着防护服的大白。就算真的碰到了,眼神也不敢直视,而实际他们只是穿着大白服的楼道清洁工。

浦西正式封锁的前一晚,朋友和我说要不要去小区下面捡一袋梧桐叶,在家里铺陈开来,模拟狗狗大小便的地方。当时是凌晨12点,我钻进了被窝里,犹豫了一下还是没有去捡,怕冷。每天凌晨6点,我还是带Shadow去遛,和平时遛狗不同的是,速战速决完屎尿屁后,匆匆带他回家。

出楼道门的时候,担心被保安发现,一直带着心惊和胆颤。就好像我闯入了一片原始丛林,随时随地会出现一头猛兽向我扑来狠狠撕咬我。回过神再回味我有这样的想法,又让自己哭笑不得。假使先把你所拥有的全部剥夺,再给予你百分之一的施舍,大概率我们会感恩戴德。可明明那原本就是我们拥有的。

封锁期间我开始爬楼梯。从一楼到十三楼,上下来回,爬半个多小时。爬到两三回时,身体开始发热流汗。爬累了,我停在楼道上,透过窗子向外眺望,对面的楼里有中年男子倚靠着阳台栏杆抽着寂寞的烟,也有母亲带着自己的小孩在放风,母亲在晒衣服,小孩坐在矮脚凳上兀自发呆。

在这些时刻,我会感到生活其实就是一堆屎尿屁,什么宝马雕车、环肥燕瘦,都不及盯着手机App团购吃的实在。长期处于密闭空间里,会让人产生自我怀疑,难道人生就只是为了吃喝拉撒吗。不免心生抑郁。

想起《毒枭》里的一个情节,巴勃罗埃斯科瓦尔主动和哥伦比亚政府讲和,自己住进自己造的大监狱(实则为一座梦幻庄园),作为条件哥伦比亚将不再以毒枭罪名通缉巴勃罗。而警方只能驻守在庄园外三千米开外的地方。

在大别墅监狱呆了一段时间后,巴勃罗情绪变得异常暴躁,而且有了疑心病,因为一些小事和团队二把手起了争执,用棍棒活活把二把手打死。这也是巴勃罗职业生涯由盛转衰的转折点。

再大的监狱也不等同于自由,终归是笼中之鸟罢了。而封闭在家中的我们,也渐渐意识到自由行动的可贵。

我们正在经历史上前所未有严厉的信息审查,当王思聪说出“出门做核酸是奴性,拒绝代表着血性”的话时,就注定了他的微博被永久封停的结局。行业里的一位朋友也遭遇了类似的情形,只因在朋友圈传播了一个疑似稍带侮辱性质的视频。我们笑称他享受了和王思聪的同等待遇。

如果做不到勇敢发声,那么也至少请不要说风凉话。一句不负责任的无端指责,可能会导致一个人选择结束生命。在疫情期间,这样的事确实发生了。以往我们都是如此遵循着这一理念,至少发出的声音是能被听见的。可现在却被满地的404所取代。

我开始想念安福路的话剧艺术中心,我担忧起上海今后还会不会有话剧这项艺术门类。我恐惧起2020年是否是我此生看的话剧最多的一个年份。有时会有一种时间割裂感,比如自己仍停留在跨年的档口,而此刻我却驻足在新年过掉四个月的时间线上。疫情的原因,2022年伊始,话剧不断的推迟和停演,以至于新年至今尚未看过一部话剧。我希望是自己多虑了。

封锁的前两天,我在黄浦滨江骑车溜达。这一次,当我骑到南码头后没有立刻掉头,而是继续向前骑出去了一些。前方没有骑行道,我推着车走了一段路。银灰色的外滩古典建筑群映入我的眼帘。马路上空空荡荡的,那片盛开的红色郁金香显得格外耀眼。我想继续往前骑行,被前方的保安拦了下来,前方禁止通行,他让我折返回去。

我看到了马路对面的罗斯福公馆。想起三年前的那晚,我和杨老师两人从W酒店走到外滩,穿过外白渡桥,眼前是一片金碧辉煌的建筑群。真想不到外滩的景色那么美。那天链闻在罗斯福公馆举办晚宴。全上海的从业者都去了那儿。觥筹交错之际,谁又能想到去年链闻决定匆匆解散了呢。

昨日世界,往事如烟。悲欣交集,彷佛过了一百年。

听闻了太多人间惨剧。大多都是老年人的次生死亡:有些是不堪精神屈辱,有些是不忍病痛折磨,有些是被活活拖死。也有些年轻人本身就有抑郁倾向。疫情里老弱病残是最弱势的群体。我们也只能默默祈祷自己家的老人不要生病,一切安好。可是这些事情随时会发生到自己身上不是吗。只是概率问题而已。

我只是觉得自己幸运:我还能在楼道外遛狗,迄今为止家里面的人没有阳性,小区里的物业比较负责,大家自发的进行团购,物资也较为充足。小区亦没有发生自杀事件。就像那句烂俗的话说的那样,哪里有什么岁月静好,只是有人在为你负重前行。

当郊区的一些小区在为吃不饱饭发愁时,市中心的一些小区正在为团购可乐还是甜品而纠结。当一些小区的人们在为争夺食物互相伤害时,还有一些豪宅小区们在炫耀起自己的团购实力。世界是层次不齐的。

思绪回过来。我爬到了楼顶,浑身是汗。我在想,假如就这么一直封锁下去呢。封锁我的一生。我该怎么办。我还剩下些什么。在这封闭的时间和空间内,能拥有的东西少得可怜。荣华啊富贵啊,都没有什么用了。此时此刻,大家都是一样的。可怜,渺小,无力。

我想起Shadow站在草堆里的情景:微风拂面,狗子的左前爪抬起,机警的观察四周。天刚刚暗下来,长长的草像杨柳那样在风中飘散。从来没有料想小区里的草地会长得这么长。我俯身听着狗子均匀而有力的呼吸。

耳机里放着绝命毒师里的插曲《Waiting Around To Die》:

有时候我不知道

这条无情的路将我引向何方

有时候我不知道原因

所以我猜我将继续碰运气

大口喝酒 大手赌运

不过 这总比等死好过一些

NVIDIA CPU Advances, China's RISC-V Responds: Semiconductor Deep Dive - Part Four

NVIDIA is set to launch its new Vera AI data center CPU in China as early as August, with high pricing. While this move offers a new option, it highlights China's continued dependence on foreign-controlled Arm architecture. In response, the Chinese semiconductor industry is increasingly turning to RISC-V as a strategic alternative for achieving high-performance computing autonomy. The article explores the concept of the "impossible triangle" in CPU development—balancing prosperity, control, and autonomy—and posits that RISC-V's open-source, modular nature offers a unique path to achieving all three. While RISC-V is already dominant in embedded systems, the focus is now shifting to data centers and AI workloads. China has become a global hotspot for RISC-V development, driven by AI-driven compute demand, supply chain concerns from export controls, cost benefits of open-source, and strong policy support. Multiple Chinese companies have reportedly crossed the key performance threshold of 15 SPECint per GHz, a benchmark for entering the high-performance CPU club. Progress extends beyond single-core benchmarks. Companies are developing complete computing subsystems, including commercial-grade coherent network-on-chip (NoC) technology and server processors with up to 40 cores that strictly adhere to the RVA23 standard to ensure software compatibility. Real-world applications are emerging in areas like video transcoding and edge AI. However, significant challenges remain. The RISC-V ecosystem faces fragmentation, immature toolchains and verification processes, and gaps in single-core performance and energy efficiency compared to mature x86 and Arm architectures. The formidable software moat, epitomized by NVIDIA's CUDA, is a long-term hurdle. In conclusion, while RISC-V cannot immediately replace offerings like NVIDIA's Vera, it represents a viable long-term path for China to develop a self-sufficient, high-performance CPU ecosystem. The journey is acknowledged to be long and arduous, requiring sustained effort to overcome technical and ecosystem challenges.

My Coding Betting Dashboard is Profiting, but Polymarket is Truly Not a Good Place for 'Arbitrage'

The author built a custom monitoring dashboard for Polymarket, a prediction market platform, and tested it with $1,600, achieving over 30% returns. However, the core argument is that Polymarket is not a good venue for traditional arbitrage. The dashboard has two main sections: a "Portfolio Dashboard" for tracking active positions with key metrics like total capital, P&L, and a risk-control module using a tier system (T1, T2, T3), and an "Opportunity Watchlist" for monitoring markets. The article details a critical structural trap in binary markets: a bet with a high perceived probability of success still carries a 100% loss risk if wrong. The author's T1/T2/T3 system is designed to manage this by limiting position sizes based on conviction and time horizon, emphasizing that high confidence should not equal high concentration. A key insight is the danger of "pseudo-diversification"—betting on different markets driven by the same underlying variable. The author concludes that Polymarket offers few true low-risk, arbitrage opportunities. It is instead a high-risk environment where wins can create a false sense of mastery, leading to large losses. The platform is better viewed as a training ground for honing judgment through disciplined, framework-driven betting rather than a reliable income source. The tools help transform intuition into structured, rule-based decisions to mitigate the risk of catastrophic errors.

WeChat AI Card Hands-On Guide: Has the AI Shopping Era Arrived?

**"WeChat AI Card" Practical Test Guide: Has the Era of AI Shopping Arrived?** WeChat has officially launched the "AI Exclusive Card," a feature integrated into its Workbuddy AI assistant. This card is designed to handle payments for AI-initiated purchases. Our hands-on test reveals it's not yet a tool for fully autonomous AI shopping, but rather a controlled payment layer for AI agents. The AI Card functions as an isolated sub-wallet within WeChat Pay. Users must bind the card and transfer funds into it from their main wallet. Crucially, every transaction requires explicit user confirmation via smartphone scan; AI cannot spend autonomously. Currently accessible through the Workbuddy agent, the card targets specific digital consumption scenarios: purchasing paid content (reports, data), calling paid APIs/tools, and subscribing to services. Its design prioritizes security and control by separating funds and mandating approval for each payment. We tested a real-world scenario: ordering bubble tea via Workbuddy using a "Meituan Life Assistant" skill. The process encountered multiple hurdles: high "skill" usage costs (exceeding daily free credits), and most importantly, while a payment was successfully initiated, the AI purchased an incorrect product (a mismatched group-buy coupon instead of the desired drink). This highlights the current limitation: the **AI Card only solves the payment step**. The broader challenge lies in the **AI agent's execution chain**—accurately understanding intent, navigating third-party platforms, selecting the right product, and ensuring proper fulfillment. The payment succeeded, but the purchase failed to meet the user's need. In conclusion, the WeChat AI Exclusive Card is a cautious, early-step experiment in AI commerce. It provides a secure, user-controlled payment method for agent interactions but is not yet capable of reliable, end-to-end complex purchases. For now, it's best used for low-value, low-risk digital services with careful user verification at each step. The vision of AI handling complete shopping tasks remains a work in progress.
