If a flight-simulator could transport you from A to B then it would be a flight-emulator.
An emulator can replace the original for real use.
A Virtual PC emulates a PC.
A simulator is a model for study and analysis.
An emulator will always have to operate close to real-time. For a simulator that is not always the case. A geological simulation could do 1000 years/second or more.

… 漂亮的女人更不值錢,… 一個8分以上的美女,每個月花在化妝品、以及保養的費用,至少是五位數以上。所以不要覺得,漂亮的女人你配不上她;相反,你在跟她約會之前,就應該簡單計算一下,她的工作能否,支撐得起她的消費;否則,你就是那個,案板上的魚肉,你就是那個冤大頭。
其實沒有醜女人,只有懶女人。比起優質高薪的男人,想要變漂亮,簡直不要太容易;一個女人只要稍微化點妝,換身衣服打扮一下,至少也有個5分;所以,漂亮的女人並不稀缺,也不值錢。

數學教育 7.5.2 | Genius 4.2.2 | A Fraction of Algebra, 2.2
這段改編自 2010 年 4 月 24 日的對話。
.
相比其他科目,數學複雜程度大,很容易遇到一個情形,就是去到某一章節,開始處理不到。這是問題描述的第一步。
第二步就是問,為何會「去到某一章節,就開始處理不到」呢?
第一個可能是,求學者不夠聰明。或者說,數學較抽象,所以需要一般人也沒有的天份,才能駕馭。但這個可能的機會,其實不大,只佔少數案例。
大多數情況反而是,遇到不佳的教師,因為大部分教師,也不懂教學。那就導致,在某一年的數學知識,出現斷層。數學作為理科之心,累積性最高。不幸斷了一層的話,就會同時斷了,之後的每一層。
隨著越來越陌生,那些對數學先天的純真喜愛,也變得不再復見。與數學,再見也不會是朋友。

Power
Macros are one of the things that make Lisp so extensible, because they let you transform arbitrary code into other arbitrary code. This is true for macros in languages like C too, but Common Lisp macros are different because they’re part of the language.
In C you have a layer of macros on top, written in a preprocessor macro language. The macro layer and the language layer are separate from each other, with the macro layer providing one one extra level of abstractive power (which, don’t get me wrong, is certainly useful).
In Common Lisp, you write macros in Common Lisp itself. You can then use those macros to write functions, and use those functions to write more macros. Instead of two stratified layers it’s a feedback loop of abstractive power.

I have a PhD in aerospace engineering. I loved grad school. Loved loved loved it. I wouldn’t give up the worst day I had in grad school for almost anything. And I love having the skills it taught me. I am a much better engineer and researcher than I could possibly have been had I taken almost any other route. I was given freedom in grad school that just would not have been present in most industry jobs. I was given a hardware project – a submersible robot – that I was completely in charge of on day 1. I had to teach myself machining, how to do electrical and electonic works, how to do embedded programming, how to tune a PID loop, how to work with other students, how to give a persuasive presentation, how to come up with my own ideas, how to convince other people that they were worth pursuing, how to quickly become an expert in a topic.
That being said, I am not under any illusions about the financial loss I experienced. I spent ten years making a pauper’s wage, when if I had chosen to go into industry I would have been a software engineer… in the Valley… in 1993.
I also was in a remarkable lab in grad school. It made top-ten lists of “coolest college lab”. And that wasn’t hype. The caliber of student and of professor was off the charts. And they were not only smart, the vast majority of them were good people. A lot of places aren’t like that. And as the article correctly said: a toxic graduate school environment is worse than most toxic work environments. In any practical sense, students don’t have HR protections. If you can’t get your advisor to write you a recommendation, getting into a different program is nearly impossible. You can be worked 100 hours a week. You can be blackballed for getting sick, for taking vacations, for taking maternity or paternity leave (even if it is – and it almost certainly will be – unpaid).
The key is to find an advisor who is doing good work and who is sane and moral. If you can find that you’re golden. If you can’t you may be completely screwed.

伏線驅動程式 1.6
這段改編自 2010 年 10 月 14 日的對話。
.
我發覺人生,即使愛情以外的範疇,主要的演變都是,身不由己式,依靠伏線來驅動。
.
要影響人生路向,你可以主動做的,就是「十面埋伏」——在多方面埋下伏線,從而提高長遠目標的命中率。
雖然,你不可以刻意去做,直接命中目標,但是,你可以刻意地,「不刻意地」去做;不知不覺地,間中命中目標。
這就是「伏線論」的精粹。
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

… that’s not totally correct, because a macroscopic state, even in principle, cannot be a superposition of macroscopic eigenstates.
— Me@2012.12.31
.
A macrosopic state is an actual physical state.
A macrosopic state, by definition, cannot be a superposition of different macroscopic states. A superposition must be of different macroscopically-indistinguishable microscopic states.
In other words, a physical state, by definition, cannot be a superposition of different physically-distinguishable physical states. A superposition must be of different physically-indistinguishable mathematical states.

The whole notion of being “left wing” or “right wing” is silly.

They only support those policies after they join the left or right mind tribe.

大概而言,美國左派的目標是「兼善天下」,美國右派的目標是「獨善其身」。
「兼善天下」(大乘)這目標固然是好,但就大到執行不到。
「獨善其身」(小乘)這目標則執行得到,但是就小到,其實沒有大用。如果是僅是「小乘」而已,人生沒有多大意義。試想想,假如,你可以「獨善其身」,生活富足,但是沒有愛人,沒有朋友,你會被迫,思考人生的意義。
「被迫思考人生意義」,可以簡稱「抑鬱」。
所以上次說,情況有如行路,要左右腳配合,才會暢順。如果你竟然,堅持只用左腳,或者只用右腳走路的話,你自然會感到,人生悲慘。
而今次多一個細節,就是「以右攻左」。成功「獨善其身」,才有能力「兼善天下」。「兼善天下」是目標,「獨善其身」是執行方法。
「兼善天下」是最終目標,永不達到,但可以不斷走近。 「獨善其身」則是起點。千里之行,始於足下。沒有起點,就沒有旅程。

認為愛情是要找到「條件最好的那一位」的人,不會從一而終,因為永遠可能有,亦必定有,條件更好的另一位。
— Me@2022-02-08 11:50:35 PM
你不是找「條件最好」的人,做你的另一半。你是要找「條件最適合你」的人。留意,「她最適合你」並不保證,你最適合她。所以,準確一點的講法是:
「你是要找『條件最適合你』的人,如果你剛巧又,最適合她的話。」
.
你不是找「條件最好」的人,做你的另一半。你是要找「與你感情至深」之人。
留意,「你對她有情」並不保證,她對你有情。「她是與你感情至深的人」並不代表,你是與她感情至深之人。「她是你的蘇眉」並不意味,你也是她的蘇眉。
Today I found my soulmate; she didn’t.
所以,準確一點的講法是:
「你是要找『與你感情最深』之人,如果你剛巧也是,『與她感情最深』之人。」

只有一見鍾愛,沒有一見鍾情。
愛是感覺,只需零時無知、一時誤會、兩時消失。
一見可以生愛,日久才能生情。
情需要時間,情需要空間。情是「超時空接觸」。
.
愛可以替代;情不可以。
.
「情人」的重點在於情。
情者,情境也。
情人者,情境之人也。
愛人可以替代;情人不可以,因為情境不可以。
時常有愛人,難得有情人。
.
感情者,感受到相同之情境也。
情人者,與爾有共同經歷之人也。
.
你要找的,不是所謂「外在條件最好」的人,而是「感情至深」之人。
你要找的,不是「條件人」,亦不是「有緣人」,而是「有情人」。

我發覺人生,即使愛情以外的範疇,主要的演變都是,身不由己式,依靠伏線來驅動。
.
既然那樣,你就有心理準備,你的人生目標夢想,例如愛情,最終還有一個可能性是,伏來伏去伏不到。「伏線」的意思正正包括,不受你控制,有時伏到有時伏不到。
即使伏得到的話,伏到什麼,你也不會事前知道。
例如,你可能覺得,因為你的條件好,所以最終會找到,你的另一半。但是,雖然受條件影響,但愛情不是純粹的「條件運算」。正如友情一樣,很多時,和你最要好的朋友,並不是所謂「條件最好」的朋友。
認為愛情是要找到「條件最好的那一位」的人,不會從一而終,因為永遠可能有,亦必定有,條件更好的另一位。

我在自己的筆記中寫過,「Find a Metaphysical Lover」(尋找形上的情人)。後來,我發現在李生的著作中,也有類似的想法。他著作中其中一句的大概是,「愛情應該始於外在條件,成於形上。」
— Me@2014.09.07
.
即使假設,愛情是條件運算——找條件最好的那一位,你亦只能透過自我提升,工作上進,提高「找到另一半」的機會率。但是,那個機會率,永不會是百分之一百。
首先,你沒法保證,你是你心上人的可能對象中,條件最好的一個。
另外,即使是,可能正正是因為你條件太好,沒有人覺得,可以匹配到你。又或者,正正是因為你條件太好,有心人也以為,你已名花有主,不感示好。
