我鳗鱼 也是一只自由泳的小鸟 @[email protected]

我觉得拼音打字不是很适合我，首先我要打字母，然后选汉字，一旦打错字母纠错成本又很高，整个思路经常被打断。。也许应该试一试一种输入组合对应一个确定的字的输入方式。。或者我换一种语言。。

My mind would also interpret information and instructions in a wholly literal way. One time I was helping my mum in the kitchen, and she asked me to go out and buy some ingredients. ‘Can you get five apples, and if they have eggs get a dozen.’ You can imagine her exasperation when I returned with twelve apples (the shop had indeed stocked eggs).

这不是程序员笑话吗​​我现在相信笑话来源于生活了

As a young child I even insisted on sleeping in a cardboard box, day and night, enjoying the feeling of being cocooned in its safe enclosure (with my mum passing biscuits to me through a ‘cat flap’ cut in the side).

我小时候喜欢在衣柜里蹲着！

我没想到我的羊毛袜子光滑到让我在地板上摔了一跤。。（我在家里从来都是跑着行动的，最后在目的地刹车的时候因为惯性摔了

It was something I knew instinctively then, but would only come to understand properly years later: the way we think as humans is not so different from how a computer program operates. Every one of you reading this is currently processing thoughts. Just like a computer algorithm, we ingest and respond to data – instructions, information and external stimuli. We sort that data, using it to make conscious and unconscious decisions. And we categorize it for later use, like directories within a computer, stored in order of priority. The human mind is an extraordinary processing machine, one whose awesome power is the distinguishing feature of our species.

完全同意！我早就觉得人跟电脑没什么区别！有外行人问我机器学习到底怎么回事，不懂怎么运行的，我说就跟你不懂人脑怎么运行的一回事，一大堆神经细胞 0 啊 1 啊的莫名其妙就算出了一堆东西​​
我就想当一枚电脑程序​​

#ExplainingHumans #读书

Where humans are ambiguous, often contradictory and hard to understand, science is trustworthy and clear. It doesn’t lie to you, mask its meaning or talk behind your back.

I avoided coming to the Computer Science Department building to work, since I dreaded running into colleagues. I was afraid that they would inevitably ask me what I was working on, and I didn’t have a respectable answer to give.

俺也一样​​

#读书 在读 #ThePHDGrind 了

Unlike a regular nine-to-five job (e.g., my summer internships) where I could leave my work at the office and chill every night in front of the television, research was emotionally and mentally all-consuming. I found it almost impossible to shut off my brain and relax in the evenings.

I ended up wasting a lot of time and not extracting any meaningful insights from my readings. I also rode my bicycle aimlessly in the neighborhoods around campus in futile attempts to think of new research ideas. Finally, I procrastinated more than I had ever done in my life thus far: I watched lots of TV shows, took many naps, and wasted countless hours messing around online. Unlike my friends with nine-to-five jobs, there was no boss to look over my shoulder day to day, so I let my mind roam free without any structure in my life.

俺的日常也是在从早干活到晚&完全不干活之间反复横跳​​

特别喜欢开头这一段在街上跳舞的！
看到这种情节就想到有人评价歌舞片：“正常人哪有随时随地起舞的？”
真的就有啊！闪光焊现场都可以是舞台！

新年第一天姨妈就来看我了​​

我也好想要现实生活中的深度交流，但其实就算是跟现实中的好友也只能在微信&毛象上才能产生一些深度的交流，一旦见面 99% 的话就变得超级没营养…基本上没有那种促膝长谈的经历。

每次在外文书里读到中文古诗，我都有非常大的困难辨认到底是哪首​​感觉已经翻译得面目全非了…
《旅夜书怀》
细草微风岸，危樯独夜舟。
星垂平野阔，月涌大江流。
名岂文章著，官应老病休。
飘飘何所似，天地一沙鸥。
原诗带感太太太太多了……

We are aware that revered scientists have been wrong. We understand human imperfection. We insist on independent and - to the extent possible - quantitative verification of proposed tenets of belief. We are constantly prodding, challenging, seeking contradictions or small, persistent residual errors, proposing alternative explanations, encouraging heresy. We give our highest rewards to those who convincingly disprove established beliefs.
[…]
This is one of the reasons that the organized religions do not inspire me with confidence. Which leaders of the major faiths acknowledge that their beliefs might be incomplete or erroneous and establish institutes to uncover possible doctrinal deficiencies? Beyond the test of everyday living, who is systematically testing the circumstances in which traditional religious teachings may no longer apply? […] What rewards are religious sceptics given by the established religions - or, for that matter, social and economic sceptics by the society in which they swim?
[…]
The fact that so little of the findings of modern science is prefigured in Scripture to my mind casts further doubt on its divine inspiration. But of course I might be wrong.

最后一句点睛之笔​​

‘Spirit’ comes from the Latin word ‘to breathe’. What we breathe is air, which is certainly matter, however thin. Despite usage to the contrary, there is no necessary implication in the word ‘spiritual’ that we are talking of anything other than matter (including the matter of which the brain is made), or anything outside the realm of science. On occasion, I will feel free to use the word. Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality.

今天学到的！Spirit, soul, psyche 什么什么的全都来源于拉丁语 spīritus 和希腊语 ψυχή，也就是“呼吸”的意思​​

Every time a scientific paper presents a bit of data, it’s accompanied by an error bar - a quiet but insistent reminder that no knowledge is complete or perfect.
[…]
Imagine a society in which every speech in the Congressional Record, every television commercial, every sermon had an accompanying error bar or its equivalent.

好棒的 idea！

When you’re in love, you want to tell the world. This book is a personal statement, reflecting my lifelong love affair with science.

原来还可以这样表白！
