My thoughts/arguments are based on the following three premises: We live in the limited-resources world. In (most) human nature, selfishness more or less impact what we do. Satisfying oneself either physically or spiritually is one of the top priorities. Artificial Intelligence, as created by human, and models trained on existing data, in my understanding are unlikely to create innovative…

When I try some new apps or services, the first thing I check is the ability to have the data locally, espeically for memos, bookmarks, read it later, tasks, journals/worklogs/notes. I would always choose apps/service that fall within the following categories: Self hosted apps. For self-hosted apps, data is…

So I added a small search button on the homepage and asked Claude to modify the style a bit. The best thing about this tool is that it is also a static index,…
You don't need to work on hard problems - Ben Kuhn I just came across this interesting article. I have to agree on how the problems (and how you are evaluated) in school set deliberately to be linear or 1 dimensional. While in real world, problems tend to be multi-dimensional, which relies on both so-called soft skills and hard skills. However, it is also exactly the same reason that there is no…
中文简介 Hi, I am Yinan, a PhD student in Physics. You can access this blog via yinan.me and yinan.ch . Since I started my PhD, I have been reading and learning a lot, by writing down tons of notes and worklogs. Most of my notes are Markdown files stored in an app called Obsidian . Since almost all of my notes are going digital now, it is not a bad idea to put them online. Also, I have been writing…
