上海来客

0xSorosPublicado a 2024-08-09Actualizado a 2024-08-09

出租车停在京都的马路边。司机身着黑色西装,向我挥手致意。我赶忙把手从风衣袋子里抽出来回应司机。

日本是一个重视规矩的国家。大家太讲究规则了,反而让人有些窒息。像此刻我站在红绿灯前,大手一挥,略微焦躁的等车,甚至是有些“迷惑”众人的行为。望着街上步履稍带点匆忙的行人,你会觉得有一点点不合时宜。你希望一切赶快过去。

走在日本的街道上,感觉像是一潭死水。青春与活力已被埋葬。一切都起不了波澜。

我见到的出租车司机,大多是60岁以上的老人。笔挺的西装掩盖不了肉体的苍老。斑白的两鬓、满脸的皱褶,和所剩无几的头发,都在诉说着衰老的事实。武士道的盔甲下,是一具具白色的骷髅在强忍倦意,支撑着所剩无几的体面。

我的行李重。自从我看到一位司机爷爷在提了我的行李后满脸通红,我就有些后怕,万一脑溢血晕过去怎么办。这之后车到目的地了我自觉把行李从后备箱提出来。

当司机爷爷得知我来自中国上海后,我们开始上海话夹杂着普通话闲聊。我还是说着怪怪的洋泾浜。在异乡听到家乡方言是一种宽慰,像是在冰天雪地里有人递过来一杯滚烫的热水。亲切感从皮肤和血液里溢出来。

老爷爷说他以前住在万航渡路,静安寺附近。我说那咱们真巧,之前有一段时间我也住在那儿。不远的岚山环绕着我们,透过车窗我望着山峦叠翠,脑海里想起有个旅游博主介绍静安寺的说辞:

在上海最繁华的商圈坐落着一座寺庙。庙里的僧人忍受着喧嚣与寂寞参透佛法。如同青花瓷歌词里描绘的意境:繁华声遁入空门折煞了世人。久光百货门前的那根金色狮柱在我面前浮现。

九十年代初兴起过一股出国打工潮。那时电视台正在热播姜文王姬的《北京人在纽约》,他的朋友们看完后热血沸腾,毅然出国决心干一番事业。老爷爷亦是浩壮队伍里的一员。

那个时间点中国的劳动力便宜,在一段时间里没有跟上国际标准,出国打工确实是门好生意。几年的时间,大家手里都能攒上个小五万十万的钱。那会万元户在中国已经算有钱人。

我们聊到痰盂罐。从前人们住在老公房里。厨房间是几家人共用的。屎尿屁要用痰盂罐。每天早上,出门打开地上的阴井盖,把屎和尿倒进去。

在国外打工了三四年后,老爷爷在日本组建了家庭,就这么在日本扎下了,一扎就是三十多年。

“我的好多朋友后来都发达了。”他的一些朋友,则在当时选择了回国。回国后,一家老小挤在一间老破小里,日常生活的矛盾少不了,再加上到了该结婚的年纪。种种原因促使了他的朋友们买了商品房。适逢迎来国内房屋商品化改革。中国房价十年来的一路飙升自此开始。

“所以你的朋友们当时买房子,也不是眼光有多好,只是到了不买不行只能咬紧牙关买了的地步。”我想起前辈和我调侃过:当一个人在你面前夸夸其谈他投资的成功是因为自身超前的认知时,你可以一律视之为骗子。

“买了第一套房子后,价格很快涨了三五倍。尝到甜头了,把房子抵押给银行,贷款出来继续买第二套第三套房子。”那时还没有房屋限购政策。买房子的好时光。如果有上帝视角的话,这样的对话铁定是发生在两个亚洲人之间的,确切的说是中国人。我们讲究成家,立业与功成名就。

中国全面进入改革开放之际,日本开始失落的十年。亚洲四小龙衰退的同时,是新兴大国崛起的伊始。经历了三十多年奇迹般的高速发展。然而近十年,所有的一切又已物是人非。

我没有问打工的细节。甜蜜蜜这些电影里有,在肯德基里做收银员,在中国餐馆的后厨里刷盘子。在各个地方打零工。以及在昏暗的宿舍里两个远在他乡的年轻人相互取暖的情节。

今天正好是中国农历新年,抖音这些短视频平台放着甜蜜蜜里的新年祝福片段:新年进步,恭喜发财,一帆风顺,身体健康,事事如意,龙马精神,如意吉祥,大吉大利,友谊万岁。黎明和张曼玉俊俏的容颜令人心醉。他们最美好的年月停格在影像中。

“过年不回家,你家里人不会讲你吗。” 我和老爷爷说我是出来避避风头的,国内的疫情管控实在令人无法忍受。这海外一漂,也漂泊了将近三个月了。而我的记忆仍旧停留在上海的11月末。

除此之外我没有再说什么。关于旧时光的碎片,模糊的游走在一些轻描淡写的话里。我明白老爷爷只是想把这些事和一个陌生人说一说。只是说一说罢了。关于选择,关于命运。些许失意,但此时早已看淡。我想此刻我们之间相互是有默契的。

老爷爷60几岁的老人了,头发全部没了,带着一副金丝边眼睛,不过他的身上有一股儒雅之风。整个人的气质有些像演济公的游本昌老师。

金阁寺到了。老爷爷把车停下。入乡随俗,我们相互道别。我谢谢老爷爷送我到这儿,老爷爷祝我在京都玩的开心。我们互道珍重。

北岛出走海外的时间点和老爷爷远走他乡在外打工的时间差不多。我们在车上聊起八零年代年轻人的精神生活。我们谈起诗人。老爷爷问我喜欢北岛的哪首诗。我说我最喜欢他的《波兰来客》。不过那不是一首诗歌,而是北岛写的一篇怀念昔日友人的文章。里面有一段伤感的话:

那时我们有梦。关于文学。关于爱情。关于世界的旅行。如今我们深夜饮酒。杯子碰到一起。都是梦碎的声音。

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.
