Long before AI psychosis, there was FP psychosis, clinically defined as the intense psychological response to understanding functional programming concepts like recursion, higher order functions, monads, or in this case, continuation passing style.
If the U.S. suspends tariffs on other countries, China can engage in re-export trade, which would effectively equate to suspending tariffs on China. It's only a matter of time before this loophole is exposed.Trump has backed down.
My friend, I like you, and I like this place too. Most people on HN are very friendly. I understand your sadness. But please don't feel sad for me. I once read a book called On Liberty when I was a freshman in high school. I also read 1984 and The Road to Serfdom (stereotyped, some people may think that such books are banned from sale in China). At that time, I began to realize that our country restricted the freedom of citizens in some aspects. Later, I asked our university teacher, and she said that freedom is always relative, but I still don't quite understand this sentence. But there is one thing I can understand, that there is always a gap between real freedom and ideal freedom. For example, are your people really free? The words can be said very beautifully, but practice is often another matter. If you look at the development process of capitalist countries, have they also sacrificed the freedom of some people? I remember that your people flocked to RedNote a while ago, saying that the lower-class Americans worked several jobs to maintain the high rent. I was actually a little surprised, because in the past, such things would only be associated with our country. Are they free? Maybe I am making a choice between economy and freedom, but freedom is indeed not an independent concept. It is complex and related to many factors. So I simply don’t think about it. It is enough for me to work hard, improve myself, improve my life and create value.
You are such a funny guy, I don't know how to prove it for a moment. I think I can prove it through my own knowledge. I don't need any so-called reward to explain the facts. I am a backend programmer, currently working on a large model project, using GraphRAG and DeepSeek to build a recommendation engine for Internet links. I am also interested in functional programming, such as lisp haskell minikanren. The salary of programmers in China is relatively high.
In fact, there are many college students and employees in China who use VPN to view foreign networks, just like what I am doing now. I can tell you responsibly that we understand the government's suppression of dissent, although many of us are dissatisfied with this, but there is a consensus that we need a harmonious, stable and positive society. Chinese people are not fools, we will also complain to the government, we have many channels, and in fact we have seen that the government is changing. In recent years, the efficiency of the province where I live has been very high, and we are quite satisfied. Many times foreigners will misunderstand the Chinese government as a high-pressure dictatorship, but if you really live in China, you will find that things are not like that.
