For my own records.

1. Math, Calculus and counting

I never quite understood calculus until I heard someone put it this way, not the original words but the basic ideas: before calculus, we are doing measuring shapes of very conventional shapes, like squares, rectangles, triangles, we got all the simple formulas, mutilple by each sides etc. then how about irregular shapes, how do we calculate the areas? yes we do it by couting tiny unit squares inside whatever shapes, then sum the whole thing we got the area! does it sound familiar, yes its almost the idea of Riemann sum, which is the very foundation of calculus. of course things get messier and messier after introducing more shapes functions and extended everything into higher dimensions, like not only do we want to calculate area which is summation of 2D space, we also want to know the volume aka 3D space summation.

So, all i want to say is, calculus is mathmatical counting at a more general/complicated level, with calulus we count every fucking thing. This is in fact in line with the basic idea of math(or my personal very shallow idea of what math actually is), math is counting, of couse people will argue its more than that! but I insist, the very core idea of math is counting, and only after that do we have all the general summaries of truth or patterns discovered by counting numbers. then why do we count? because we need to measure. how do we measure? we measure by addition. we mearue length by counting all the unit dots in a line; we measure areas by adding unit lines together, imagine adding all unit dots in one line, then do it repeatly, which is how multiplying works; we measure volumes by adding areas together, which feels like an iteration of areas addition on top of an iteration of lines addition on top of an iteration of unit dots addition. how about 4th dimention then? another iteration on top of 3d measures.

Back to the idea, why do I talk about elementary computations that every kid knows? Because I want to conclude(feel free to disagree) that math is about counting, and finding patterns through counting. We use counting to measure/symbolize/understand world. I guess thats why peopel always say math is the closest to truth/nature/god etc.

2.logic and programming

Lets start with a basic question. What is computer? Its a machine which do computing just like its name! how does it do it? it does computations by fliping bits which is the basic unit of chips, by fliping massive amount of tiny bits in very short period of time, computers counting/computing/recording numbers. So again, what exactly does computer do? put it in a more abstract way, it does simulations of complicated computing procejures.

One word, simulations, it is what I want to describe the essence of computers in relation with the major topics I want to talk about here.These multi-stage simulations are carried out by a combination of computing numbers and logics simulations. Here I first mentioned logic. In mathmatics, logic has more rigorious definition, but I want to think it in a simple way, it is the glue to gluing numbers counting and stages of counting together.

So what is programming according to all my previous definitions of logic and computers? I think, programming is to create simulations of combinations of different countings and logics, though this whole process takes so many stages from a bit flip on the chips to high level programming abstractions like declare a variable.

3.to put it simple

To summarize, math is counting, programming is to create simulations of countings glued by logics. computer gives us tremendous amount of power to do all kinds of simulations, and by doing all these simulations we can find answers to specific questions, we can optimize answers, we can basically simulate/abstract/recreate the real world since we already tried to simulate everything.

4.why are we talking about all these abstract concepts?

The point is simulation.

We want to simulate everything in real world. and math, logic and programming are the tools we use to build all kinds of simulations. Essentially, we are recreating the real world in a digital/mathmatical/logical(simplified) way. When people are talking about AI, machine learning, all kinds of algorithms, and sounds crazy concepts like AI taking over the world, mind uploading, maybe all these could be viewed in a different way: they all are simulations of the real world. Then they are not so mind blowing after all, they are in fact the very logical progression of human civilazition, we are in fact heading towards another new world which is created by ourselves based on abstractions of the pyhsical world.

5.how does it relate to the movie?

The movie introduced very advanced concepts like AI master control program, human digitalized into computer simulated world, they look fictional, they sound unreal. However, they are in line with the directions we are heading to. And it is in some sense definitive. I personally believe they are achievable, people say si-fi predicts the future, I think si-fi draws blueprints for the future and we humans create the future based on it. Anyway, I think this movie was so advanced and still relating till this day, we are heading towards all the ideas this movie presented.

经过往圣先贤的总结归纳，“幽默”被分出了很多种类，也被提炼出了制造的方法。

强不知以为知：幽默，绕过意识的预设，触发笑点。（小时候经历的少，太多意料之外，就太多笑点；长大了，见得套路多了，即使幽默制造的过程都不安常理，也有可能达不到幽默的效果）。

本片从框架到细节，在“幽默制造”上，已属高产。

框架上，使用对比的方法，跳脱出前一个场景，体现冲突。比如：男1与男2的行为方式、生活方式；主角三人与于洋饰演的冯海峰的人物关系；女1在做戏撒谎这件事上的前后表现。

烘托出幽默的氛围后，用意想不到的讽刺来激发笑点。其中几处需要玩味的：男1询问男3“开饭店准备的怎么样了”男3的回答；冯海峰家里挂着的字匾；冯海峰看望男2时的一句“你是脑袋，用不上”。可以说是需要回味才能咂摸出的黑色幽默。

影片片名也许会让人联想到市场上已有的多部“合伙人”，为防止失望，请勿对号入座。本片并没有常规的“合-分-合”的“合伙人印象”，说“分-合”都尚属褒奖。

最后，整部影片最大的感官触动，当属一个极为讽刺的背景镜头——毕竟你挣1000万比你中1000万难太多了。有位从业时长两年的护士朋友，仅两年就见惯了生命消逝，却会被“毫无体征却硬是抢救回来，即使余生的状态是植物人”而感到动容。用她的话说“长久处于对生命消逝的冷漠与麻木的黑暗突然被打破透进来一丝光亮。”生命的奇妙在于努力中的希望与奇迹，而不是躺平后天上掉下的馅饼。

世间从不缺少美，希望你能从这部影片中发现符合你标准的美。

三年前看过一遍，当时的评价一般，因为没能完全看懂，但三年后经历了各种社会毒打和人类的大疫情之后，对于人生有了更为深刻的理解和认识。几点思考：第一、机器人是我们人类的造物，那么我们猿猴又是谁的造物？所谓的上帝？那么我们是否已经超越上帝了？如果上帝的能力在于创造生命，那么我们已经足以比肩神明。第二、生命会自己找到出口。无论地球条件如何恶劣，都有生命可以突破桎梏，找到自己的出口，我们的造物也同样如此。人类的三大法则好比绳索，它并不能一直限制人工智能的发展。第三、高等级文明与低等级文明。就像我们不会跟猿猴、猩猩沟通一样，一个文明进化到另外一个文明无法理解的程度，对话就结束了。一切像是巧合，一切又好像冥冥之中有只手第四、人类的未来究竟如何？我们肉体凡身，文明将走向何处？人体义肢化再到机械化再到数据化？我们也将找寻人类文明自己的出路。即使人类被人工智能所淘汰，我觉得不是什么坏事，我们的造物将延续人类的科技和成就走向下一个纪元。第五、人工智能不是我们可以驯服的奴隶，我们的造物或许会短暂臣服于人类，但造物的造物将完全脱离人类的认知，这是危险而美丽的东西。第六、会不会有人选择人工智能而反对人类？我的答案是：YES 给文明以出路

“The New World Is Yet To Come ”这大概是最能表达我对本片感受的一句话吧。《打开心世界》看完了，思绪万千五味陈杂。影片以盖布瑞拉第一视角和大量旁白，讲述一位19世纪初美国偏远地区穷苦农妇的生活，和内心渴望被爱、被改变的期待。盖布瑞拉善于文字表达，早早嫁作人妻，每天按部就班做着“妻子应该做的事情”。塔莉和丈夫搬到盖布瑞拉附近，是位不愿承担丈夫所说“妻子应做之事”的美丽农妇。塔莉问她为什么嫁给丈夫的时候，盖布瑞拉回答：他人虽不长情，但人很深情。这就埋下了她丈夫可以陪着妻子坐3天3夜马车去见她妻子担心的女人之伏笔。虽然夫妻两人每天没什么话可讲，可她丈夫还是不会离开盖布瑞拉。塔莉的丈夫则是一位小肚鸡肠疑心重的男人，这也预示着这是一出悲剧。塔莉丈夫用日记无比详尽地记录自己妻子出去时长和谁见面，还会告诉塔莉“隔壁村庄有人用毒药毒死妻子”的信息我就猜到塔莉估计会BE。当看到塔莉和丈夫不辞而别搬走，盖布瑞拉给塔莉写信最终被塔莉小心眼丈夫发现还大声朗读那份爱的倾诉信后，我气得骂了句脏话！塔莉和盖布瑞拉的感情被塔莉丈夫发现，塔莉被丈夫毒死....盖布瑞拉找上门发现塔莉死的哭泣，还有最后盖布瑞拉像失了魂的每日流泪都让我难过不已。我也在这些台词中得到了之前不理解盖布瑞拉和塔莉彼此产生爱意的原因。塔莉的旁白解答了一切：和一个在一起可以让自己快乐、舒服、产生共鸣的人在一起才是爱。我太喜欢她们对于羞涩内敛喜爱的用词描述。虽然没有《烧女图》和《菊石》的爱那么热烈，但都非常真实把“本过着平凡普通生活，突然有个人闯入自己世界”的惊喜、爱恋、仰慕、共情描写出来。其实，有些对话太过于晦涩难懂，当时男权主义背景下农妇们的爱只能躲躲藏藏。不过，我挺喜欢塔莉低沉声音和橘色金发的。可惜，塔莉已死，盖布瑞拉会永远活在悲伤之中。The New World Is Yet To Come.
