That's so wild. Ethiopia banned all gasoline cars and is now moving to EVs that are basically driving for free, because the hydropower plant is producing more than enough energy for the whole country.

I’m really happy to see that for the people of Ethiopia and it feels like this is the future.

Notable ofc, how western car makers from Europe and the US are completely missing out and China is taking over.

最近收拾家里翻出来一个吃灰很多年的 Kindle。之前吃灰是因为我要看的书都以大开本 pdf 为主,小屏幕上面看大开本 pdf 实在太不方便了。现在我翻出来之后直接问 AI,AI 说可以破解,然后装 KOReader,支持对 pdf 进行重排。我就丢给 AI 让它帮我破解了 Kindle 装上了 KOReader。确实很好用。

然后我还不满足,就让 AI 给我写了这么些东西:

用 qwen3-asr 把很多视频/语音转文字发给 kindle用 AI 整理每日新闻摘要发给 kindle把 pdf 直接通过 GLM-OCR 或者 qwen3.8-27b OCR 之后转成 epub 发给 kindle (比 KOReader 内置的 OCR 效果好得多)把一些仅有网页的文档(比如开源软件的 documents)爬下拉转成 epub 发给 kindle

现在我的 kindle 终于充分利用起来了

Journalists sometimes think that asking partisan Republicans about their opinions is useful. Occasionally it can be, but most of the time, it provides no information because far-right people hate the media and will just lie rather than reveal their real thoughts.

Looking at right-wing web forums like "Free Republic" is a better way to see into the MAGA mindset.

Democracy needs science. But many governments are limiting academic freedom and interfering with decisions about what research is funded and who performs it.

Important new piece in @nature on how democracy not only needs science but also needs to protect science.

看过 你能看到一切 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕
这个纪录片异常复杂,但是复杂的地方不在 Elizabeth 这个事本身,关于这个事大家就去看法庭文件就好了。要想明白这个片复杂的地方,我觉得最关键的是要搞明白这个纪录片到底「记录」了什么。

这片想记录的是 Theranos 骗局这个事么?可能有一点,但是我觉得不主要是,因为两点:首先这个事已经盖棺定论了,其实没什么特别可记录的,法庭文件里都有;第二是如果片子主要想记录的是这个事的话,那这个片子本身太 manipulative 了,镜头也许都是真实的,但是剪辑、音效、运镜、调色甚至宽高比都是高度风格化的。或者换句话说,这片子除了画面本身(可能)是真实的以外,其它一切都是精心布置的局。如果这片子是为了记录 Elizabeth 这件事的话,完全没有必要这么做。所以这个片子一定另有所图。那么到底图的是什么呢,我觉得后半部分是重点。

片子后半部分其实讲了两件事,第一件是对 Elizabeth 家庭的跟踪记录,而第二件,我觉得是这个片子的真正重点,是对这个记录过程的一个元思考。比如他们交代了这个片子在拍摄过程中的假设之一是 Billy 会拿到钱,那么一个自然的问题就是他们的这些记录到底有多中立,以及这个片到底算不算「纪录片」。他们甚至请了第三方(Amanda)帮他们分析前半部分。当然,最重要的线索是片名。「You Can See Everything」,而不是「Elizabeth Holms」,或者「The Theranos Fraud」⸺他们要记录的是 「他们去拍摄他们 see everything」这件事(从而探讨「纪录片」这个门类本身的边界),而不是 Theranos 这件事。当然片子也讲了 Theranos,但这是一个副作用。而作为观众,你在看这个片子的时候会由于它的风格化叙事产生各种情绪,甚至会倾向于认为 Billy 在操纵 Elizabeth,从而对 Elizabeth 产生共情,这些都不妨碍这个片子成为「纪录片」,因为它记录的根本就不是 Theranos 这件事!

当然从这个角度讲,这个片子是极端成功的。满分。
