And another one, and, and another one
I got like a hundred of 'em
'Bout to lap so they think they ahead of me, but I'm really in front of them
Now some of them fumblin' they bags
Fuckin' up the little crumbs that they had

All My Life
Song by Lil Durk ‧ 2023

lyrics 



Durkio told me he been on some positive shit, yeah, yeah
Lately, I just wanna show up and body some shit, yeah, yeah
Always been a lil' mathematician, lately it's cash I'm gettin'
Got me losin' count of these bags, I've been movin' too fast
Hard times don't last, 'member when cops harrassed
Talkin' out my ass, boy, you ain't shit but a bitch with a badge
All my life (all my life)
They been tryin' to keep me down (they been tryin' to keep me down)
All this time (all this time)
Never thought I would make it out (never thought I'd make it out)
They couldn't break me, they couldn't break me (no, no)
They couldn't take me, they couldn't take me (no)
All my life (all my life)
They been tryin' to keep me down (they been tryin' to keep me down)
I decided I had to finish, but the media called me a menace
I done sat with the mayor and politicians, I'm tryna change the image
You can't blame my past no more, I come from the trenches
Some said I'd never be a superstar, but I know I'm different (no, no, no)
I'm The Voice, but the system ain't give me a choice
Know some people that's still on deploy
I know a felon who tryna get FOID
Child support your only support
For a visit, I'm goin' through courts
Went to jail, they was chainin' me up
And you know that I'm famous as fuck
See how you gon' joke about stimulus?
But they really had came in the clutch
I know some kids wanna hurt they self
Stop tryna take drugs, I refer to myself
Tryna better myself, tryna better my health but
All my life (all my life)
They been tryin' to keep me down (they been tryin' to keep me down)
All this time (all this time)
Never thought I would make it out (never thought I'd make it out)
They couldn't break me, they couldn't break me (no, no)
They couldn't take me, they couldn't take me (no)
All my life (all my life)
They been tryin' to keep me down (they been tryin' to keep me down) (yeah)
First-generation ghetto nigga
Cole world, hello niggas
Made it out the city with my head on straight
Niggas keep shootin' up the lead out
Young Jordan Peele, gotta get out
'Cause the shit that I spit out
Is a cheat code like I'm facin' a RICO, how a nigga put a hit out
And another one, and, and another one
I got like a hundred of 'em
'Bout to lap niggas so they think they ahead of me, but I'm really in front of them
Now some of them fumblin' they bags
Fuckin' up the little crumbs that they had
A reminder to humble yourself, this shit could be gone in an instant
Me, I'm runnin' long distance
All pistons firin'
I be stuck between maybe retirin'
And feelin' like I'm just not hittin' my prime
These days seein' rappers be dyin'
Way before they even gettin' they shine
I never even heard of lil' buddy
'Til somebody murdered lil' buddy
Now I'm on the phone, searchin' lil' buddy name
Got to playin' his tunes, all day in my room
Thinkin', "Damn, this shit wicked, to get they names buzzin'
Some niggas just gotta go lay in a tomb"
And media thirsty for clicks, I got a new rule
If you ain't never posted a rapper when he was alive
You can't post about him after he get hit
It's simple, it's the principle
On any tempo, I'm invincible
Don't even rap, I just vent to you
I rather that than an interview
Most days
Fuck 'em all like I'm goin' through a ho phase
Young nigga shoot out the whip like road rage
I pray all of my dawgs stay so paid
And the only thing that kill 'em is old age
All my life (all my life)
They been tryin' to keep me down (they been tryin' to keep me down)
All this time (all this time)
Never thought I would make it out (never thought I'd make it out)
They couldn't break me, they couldn't break me (no, no)
They couldn't take me, they couldn't take me (no)
All my life (all my life)
They been tryin' to keep me down (they been tryin' to keep me down)

☕Picks of the year

  • 又到cyber-excrement moment, 就像处理数据一样，写作过程耗费时间，但是梳理清理之后逻辑和信息就会浮现，useful or useless，但是确实没有太多的事情发生
  • 记忆点关键词：
    • 更多的新内容，new contents，一些新的albums, TV-shows，时间关系看的不多，大多数时候都是耳朵听的多些，比如music和podcast。
    • Islam 在MSG上升到welterweight，成为2-division Champ，明年UFC也将从ESPN转到Paramount
    • New "skills": Marp, Quarto...

书&影🎞️📚

↩️

  • 今年看书比较少，还有很多堆积未看的，整体质量都比较高，因此能够留下很深刻的印象，《血与蜜之地》在出版很早之前就有关注，一出之后终于有时间看完，还是熟悉的口味，喜欢四处走，主要将南斯拉夫那块区域的国家——“穷游纪实”。《可能的世界》也比较类似，但是美国这个国家还是大众相对熟悉一点的；《格外的活法》是窥探另一种日本当下城市生活的窗口……
  • 同样看TV-shows的也不多，全是以前的续集，没有新开“口子”，似乎有很精彩的，但是新上路很花时间和耐心，也没时间。这些续集都是比较经典的，属于每季结束都会在calender上查看是否有续订的下一季的release date。"All that'sleft of you" 和南京照相馆是电影，"All that's left of you" (douban)看封面以为是基于之前看的那本《柠檬树》Reading Notes link，都是当下的巴以关系的主题，但是发现电影不一样：雪梨·道比什极具野心地铺展开一个家族三代人的命运绘卷，横跨整整近75年，影片既宏大又细腻，镜头优雅且饱含个人情感。雪梨·道比什不仅融入自身经历自编自导，还亲自出演了本片，在她饱含深情的讲述下，影片中位于约旦河西岸的富庶家庭，原本过着和乐融融的生活，却因突如其来的战火而饱受摧残，不仅失去了豪宅、庄园和家族的橘子园，也受尽了屈辱。

Music 🎵

↩️

  • 更多的21 Savage，silence，resilience，patience，loyalty，humble & independent
    • move in silence
    • Progress is first built in silence long before anyone sees it.
  • Metro这几年的制作都有点哥特风格 或者民国风格
  • Metro是那种唯一的期待drop 作品的producer
  • Album方面，今年量不太多，pop music不多，rap music也不太多，但是下半年近年末确实这几张都是high level，Rosalía's Masterpiece: LUX 里面有很多语言，然后风格多样，古典结合POP，甚至有点Opera的feeling，MV也比较新颖，感觉很像普利策奖的口味
  • 然后就是21众所期待的 WHTT，尤其是其中的I wish, 前奏进鼓点，一下像回到十年前的夏天，2010s
    • 小孩音结束后进鼓之前那段 好像时间一下拨回十年之前的夏天 没啥遗憾 好像稍微能做到的好一点的就是很多放弃的东西 就再也没有机会继续或者捡起来 时间空间不一样了 感受也变化大了
    • 听 在vibe里面是一回事 逐词逐句听意义或者看词是另一种 真正理解内容 21说了很多关于这些年已逝的talents一些话 如果X没去那个store， 17年？ 有一次中午回去上厕所时候看到X的新闻 还有juice wrld ，Nipsey ，Takeoff
  • 另外就是Dave了，思考深度和跳跃都令人深刻；还有Drake的一张合作album，剩下的就是pop，流行和一些乡村……

Podcasts & Articles

  • 最多的是JRE，UFC COMMENTATOR, 一些MMA shows，然后都是这几年因为AI行业而风靡世界的“科学家”，工程院院士什么的……
  • LFP也是，印象深的就是陶哲轩，Demis Hassabis因为受访本来就不多，比较珍贵。
  • Theo Von也是，这些深度访谈的嘉宾对象都是行业中top elites。
  • 含金量：SNL的monologue的播放量TOP5中前3个都是Dave Chappelle, 第四是Louis C.K.，第五是Elon

Nobel Prize lecture: Omar Yaghi, Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2025

↩️

  • 在瑞典讲的获奖汇报上，主持人显示简短诙谐地描述了Omar M. Yaghi 教授的经历，从约旦移民留学到伯克利，然后Omar M. Yaghi 上台汇报，PPT上很系统，而且面向全球大众，专业性相较不是那么强，根据timeline，Omar M. Yaghi 一页一页slides讲一路走来学生们的工作，期间会穿插点背后相关的人文小故事，比如第一个学生 Guangming Li，一开始申请他的名额，他尽力拒绝都拒绝不了，然后开始了旅程，后来学生也说实话了，当初是没人要他。能感受到Omar M. Yaghi 教授一步步对于每个卓越工作的学生作者都稍作了介绍，并且流露出对于他们的感激之情，humble
  • MOF（金属-有机框架）的关键想法最初来自于他的学生 Guangming Li（李广明），Guangming Li 是 Yaghi 实验室早期成员，与 Hailian Li 一起参与了1995年那篇标志性论文（Nature, 1995: Selective binding and removal of guests in a microporous metal–organic framework），该论文报道了第一个具有永久孔隙的金属-有机框架结构，常被视为现代MOF的起点。

Demis Hassabis

  • 2024 , AI deepmind , 获得 诺贝尔化学奖，同时也看了他的Nobel Prize lecture和Nobel minds 2024
  • Demis Hassabis (CEO of DeepMind Technologies) 父亲希腊人，母亲华裔新加坡人，想想这两条血脉背后的路径，古希腊数学和中国古代算术天文……

Sir Demis Hassabis (born 27 July 1976) is a British artificial intelligence (AI) researcher and entrepreneur.

  • 《The Thinking Game（思考游戏）》——看纪录片时候，中间有一个片段是2020年在UK quanrentine期间，deepmind团队中有一对男女在一起，女生会工作code到半夜，丈夫会捣鼓机器人学习走路，半夜提醒她该睡觉，二人像是共生一样，两条腿推进。 #life style

Words Topics Chain

  • 通常思考一个话题时候会分叉分支思考其他有联系的话题：

    • 从爱因斯坦波尔的争执 ， 到爱因斯坦的思想实验 ，再到刘慈欣的三体， 能在外部环境局限的情形下精神活在另一种高度是何种的幸福 ， 简直是宇宙中最幸福的事情， 也最酷 。 类似的地方是二者同样都能超越时间 ， 爱因斯坦等人的思想实验或者假设能够在多年后更加先进的实验设施中得到印证。Same can be said with 霍金和史铁生。
    • 思想内容可以超越时间、空间 ，想不出对于一个生物来说更高尚、 更具性价比的成就了。
    • 回到思想实验 ，报道很多证实我们的确在一个simulation之中 。 Demis在interview中说的最多的也是simulation。 这就是数学的魅力所在 ， 结合他独特的口音—— 不那么地道的英音 ，印象深刻。 在之前上课时候， 尤其在计算的课堂上 ， 我不听课， 在GitHub上看那个集合的仓库 ，主要讲量子力学的趣味历史。

  • 让思维不被时空囚禁。

  • 生存的哲学就是Boxing的stance，整体上总是努力争取进攻的态势，两条腿一前一后，advancing，positive，但是在不利的情形下也要及时后撤，托在后面的腿大致意义即如此，否则像heavy weights那样，最终倒下即结束，仅有自己，教练无法去接住后背，阻止倒下。

时代变了

↩️

工业时代靠爱迪生的99%汗水：反复试错、熬夜实验，谁能坚持谁就赢。

科学时代靠爱因斯坦的95%思考：花大把时间定义问题，一击致命的洞察就能改写历史。

现在AI时代，汗水几乎被AI包圆了——它能瞬间跑完人类几辈子都跑不完的试验。真正的稀缺，只剩人类独有的100%思考：问出最深刻的问题，定下最本质的方向，带着价值观和勇气把AI的输出变成现实。

未来不属于最勤奋的人，或许也不一定属于最聪明的人，可能属于那些想得最深、敢下最狠注的人。

  • 人类的任务之一可能就是开启硅基文明的持钥匙的人 日常生活中人们对于二次电池习以为常 没有太意识到电池其实就是硅基生命/电子产品的生命，遗憾的是，人类本身这样和地球上大多数生物体一样 都是一次电池，不可充电的生物，一次生命。这就是能源对于硅基生命的意义
  • 拉马努金（或者更常见被归于阿兰·图灵的类似表述，但最流行版本常被引用为物理学家的观点）：

“Science is a differential equation. Religion is a boundary condition.”

纳瓦尔：马尔科姆·格拉德威尔推广了一万小时成为领域专家的想法，我会说实际上是一万次迭代才能精通。迭代不是重复，重复是一遍又一遍做着相同的事情，而迭代是用学习来修正它，然后做出另一个版本，那是纠错。如果你在任何事情上得到一万次错误纠正，你将成为专家。
