Added a who's hunting for a court globe on tenniswhere.com. Interesting to see visitors around the globe looking for a court!

我们为什么不该躺平? 到周末了,闲聊几句心里话。今天在外面走5km,一直在和Jim聊天。他今年84岁,60年代大学毕业后,先是做教师做了36年,57岁"退休", 然后开了个travel agency,主要做group tour,世界各地跑,又干了25年,81岁时正式退休。多次手术后,他还在坚持几十年来的走路,只是从每次10km下降到了5km。当然他从来不缺钱,教师的pension也很不错。真想躺,30年前就可以很舒服的躺了。 我也即将面临自己下一个职业转换,从自己十几年的舒适区出来,面对极高的不确定性,肯定是有些彷徨和焦虑的。但是活的太"舒服"了,往往就是自己身体和头脑开始偷懒变rusty的时候。今天和Jim的聊天,也是一个很大的inspiration。人生在世,一是尽量丰富自己的体验,二是给这个世界或者社会留下些有用的东西。 再讲两个例子。一个大哥移民来加拿大后在魁北克从小生意起家,十几年后就做大,赚了钱准备躺平。买了个圣劳伦斯河边的大房子,一家人搬进去,天天钓鱼休息,不到一年就受不了了。然后放下一切去台湾读神学,几年后回来做了牧师,一晃又是十几年过去了,是我非常尊敬的人。另一个,大学教授,已经70岁了,每年还在世界各地到处飞,手上每几年就换一个完全不同领域的项目,每天时间安排的满满当当,感觉再干个十几年没问题。 在我们这个时代,一个人一辈子有个几次不同的career是非常正常的。很多人希望FIRE,觉得FIRE后就可以躺平了,实际上大多FIRE的人并没有真正躺平,而是开始做自己喜欢的事业。只要是自己有激情的事,实际上干多久也都不会天天想着不干了。而是每天都在盼着第二天的工作。 国内看到了太多年轻人,以考公考研为理由,或者什么都不干,在家里啃老,看着就慢慢萎下去。我知道现在工作难找,但是大好年华,可能性是无穷的。如果大环境不好,应该做的事是拼命充实自己,同时寻找一切可能的机会,总有一天,某扇门会为自己打开。在家里打游戏刷剧睡觉,真的是浪费了生命。从我的角度讲,我真愿意拿所有的财产地位一切一切换回20年前的我的状态,找不到工作也会笑醒。那种无限可能,世界在面前铺开的感觉真的很宝贵,就那么7,8年,一定要珍惜。 至于中年人,我说点现实的。身边看过太多太多的例子,一旦财务自由或者退休,就悠闲度日,结果身体和精神很快断崖式下降,最后很多年纪不是特别大要么身体很差,要么已经开始糊涂了。 人是需要一直有可以看见progress的东西驱动向前的动物,不管是养孩子,还是职业上的发展,还是自己推动的研究或者项目。一旦失去目标,找不到自己的定位(“退休”不是一个好的定位),往往就失去了对生活和身体的掌控,这个进程一旦开始,很难往回走。

IMO the only tests you should have in the age of coding agents are, in order of priority: 1. Full E2E tests. Nothing mocked out at all. Can even be something that runs in prod on test accounts via Playwright or equivalent. 2. Integration tests. Agents make more mistakes as things bleed between data/API boundaries where schemas can drift. 3. Golden tests. This helps ground the code with real examples of data, and can be used as regressions against edge cases. Unit tests are bloat 99% of the time if you’re using a frontier model since they’re smart enough now to get the implementation (and subsequent iterations) right on the first shot, so they only add bloat at this point.

Terafab will be built in Grimes County, Texas In April, we broke ground on our research fab on the North Campus of Giga Texas – the precursor to Terafab. Both Tesla & SpaceX will need far more chips than current & future global production can supply. This is why we're building the largest chip manufacturing facility ever, with the goal of producing over 1 terawatt of compute per year The future is built in Texas spacex.com/updates#terafab

This will make you millions in the stock market. Save this so you ALWAYS know what will happen. One of my secrets is always monitoring HEAVY truck sales. When the economy turns weak, companies are the first to react by lowering spending and procurement, causing heavy logistics to decrease. Conversely, when economic conditions improves, the purchase of trucks would rebound. It's that simple. When truck sales are above 0.47M (top quartile): 1. economy is running hot 2. start playing a bit more defensive 3. raise quality in your portfolio When truck sales are between 0.25M and 0.47M: 1. normal range 2. stay the course 3. hold your winners When truck sales crash below 0.25M: 1. the economy is bottoming 2. get aggressive 3. this is where generational wealth is built Right now? Truck sales are at 0.43M. 73rd percentile. Not in the danger zone yet.

偶然看youtube刷到了一个大神制做的复古港版的真人仙剑奇侠转电视剧。作为玩过很多次原版仙1的老玩家,剧中的人物李逍遥,赵灵儿,林月如简直完美复刻了游戏里的形象,只能说作者的想象力和执行力和AI得到了完美的融合!youtube.com/watch?v=N2pHa0QH…
