It started because a reader asked for a sequel to “The Creator’s-Eye View,” and I realized that piece left a giant hole unfilled. Today I’m filling it. Also, a book recommendation: Dan Levitt’s What’s Gotten Into You. I lost two nights of sleep after finishing it. This one’s long — bear with me, you won’t regret it. I. Link to heading In “The Creator’s Perspective,” our hero Fat Jin’s brain short-circuits on the subway and he blurts out the eternal question: “Why do some piles of star-ash get to force the rest of us into 996, while we’re the ones stuck grinding? https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2026-06-01-the-secret-underworld-of-north-american-chinese-supermarkets/ Mon, 01 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2026-06-01-the-secret-underworld-of-north-american-chinese-supermarkets/ A few days ago I read an article called “A Close Look at America’s Old-Money Chinese Families,” which dug all the way to the bottom of dynasties like the Pei family (I.M. Pei), the Chao family (Elaine Chao), and the Wang family (An Wang). Fascinating read — but also a bit of a letdown, because these families feel a million miles away from ordinary people like us. A Chinese person in North America can go their entire life without meeting a single Pei or Chao. https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2025-12-01-the-sanctuary-of-ascensionour-own-genesis/ Mon, 01 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2025-12-01-the-sanctuary-of-ascensionour-own-genesis/ Introduction Link to heading In Part 1, we descended along physics’ “dimensional reduction chain,” catching a glimpse of the universe’s perfect, smooth top-level design from the 11D M-Theory—a Utopia ruled by elegant equations. In Part 2, we swam upstream and saw how Nature, the ultimate “Construction Foreman,” used the “lazy” algorithm of fractal geometry to pile together a rough, shattered, yet hyper-efficient “leftover” reality. If Part 1 was the “theoretical blueprint” and Part 2 was “Nature’s physical build,” then this Part 3 is the manifesto of us—the bipedal apes trapped in 3D spacetime—sounding the horn of counterattack. https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2025-10-01-resisting-the-dimensional-strike-the-leftover-world-abandoned-by-integer-dimensions/ Wed, 01 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2025-10-01-resisting-the-dimensional-strike-the-leftover-world-abandoned-by-integer-dimensions/ The grandest, most “smooth” theoretical layers of the universe (from M-Theory down to Newtonian Mechanics) represent the ultimate Utopia in the eyes of physicists. In this sequel to What a True “Dimensional Strike” Actually Looks Like, we are executing a hard pivot: falling from the ideal straight into reality. When we step away from those pristine, perfect equations and actually open our eyes to look at the world, we discover a glaring truth: God is actually a “lazy” architect. https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2025-09-01-true-dimensional-strike-actually-looks-like/ Mon, 01 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2025-09-01-true-dimensional-strike-actually-looks-like/ The chain of dimensional strikes (dimensionality reduction) in physics is essentially a top-down degradation from the highest-dimensional frameworks of the universe. With every step down in dimensionality, the theory gets closer to human observation and our everyday understanding of reality. But the tragic irony is this: even when these theories degrade all the way down to the bottom layer—classical physics—99% of people still don’t truly understand them. This essentially dooms the vast majority of us to ignorance. https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2025-08-31-the-trillion-dollar-showdown/ Sun, 31 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2025-08-31-the-trillion-dollar-showdown/ The Trillion-Dollar Showdown: Apple, Nvidia, and the Future of AI Link to heading It’s been a while since my last Q&A post about Nvidia. The reason I haven’t followed up is simple: the analysis from back then still holds up today. But “tomorrow” might be a different story. Let’s dive into the long-standing feud between Apple and Nvidia to explore the potential wildcards of the future. 1. Market Cap Link to heading Looking at the two most valuable companies in the world today, Nvidia’s stock growth over the past two years has outpaced Apple’s by more than 10x. https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2025-05-01-fur/ Thu, 01 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2025-05-01-fur/ (Note on the title: The Chinese title “皮毛” literally translates to “Fur” or “Pelts,” referring to the fur trade discussed in the article. However, in Chinese, “皮毛” is also a common idiom meaning “superficial knowledge” or “scratching the surface.” The title serves as a clever double entendre). Lately, the world has been somewhat chaotic, seemingly reverting to the law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak. To distinguish the signal from the noise, we need to zoom out and look at a longer timeframe. https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2024-12-01-the-era-of-ai-bricklaying/ Sun, 01 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000 https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2024-12-01-the-era-of-ai-bricklaying/ It’s been a while since my last update. It’s the end of the year, so I need to find some excuses for myself and take the opportunity to vent a little. To be honest, I’m a bit puzzled: we can now converse with knowledgeable and incredibly smart AI anytime, anywhere. Who still needs to read public accounts? After a tiring day at work, isn’t it better to watch short videos? https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2024-09-01-how-the-world-was-changed-part2/ Sun, 01 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000 https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2024-09-01-how-the-world-was-changed-part2/ This update is slower, mainly due to eye issues. With the progression of presbyopia, my eyes can’t adapt to the three different distances of a phone, laptop, and external screen. Not only are the prescriptions different, but the pupil distance and height also vary, and progressive lenses have severe field-of-view width issues. There is no ideal solution. I’ve heard that many people in their forties and fifties have early artificial lenses, allowing them to live and exercise without glasses. https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2024-06-01-how-the-world-was-changed/ Sat, 01 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000 https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2024-06-01-how-the-world-was-changed/ The podcasts I default to while driving lately are “Left and Right” and “Journey of Civilization.” I listen to almost every episode of the former, while the latter is like an old tree blooming anew. Why I enjoy listening to them is not the topic of today’s discussion. I just always felt something was missing, but couldn’t quite put my finger on it. A random thought broadened my perspective. Topics in the humanities are indeed fascinating: history, culture, society, thought, religion, literature, art, etc. https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2024-05-12-inside-the-power-struggle-over-asml/ Sun, 12 May 2024 00:00:00 +0000 https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2024-05-12-inside-the-power-struggle-over-asml/ Recently, there’s been a highly anticipated new book in the semiconductor industry, with a title that’s both particularly short and particularly long. This book is “Focus,” with the subtitle “The ASML Way—Inside the Power Struggle Over the Most Complex Machine on Earth.” The book was first published in Dutch and English, and I noticed that a Chinese version has already been signed by a domestic publisher. However, after reading it, I can’t help but pour a little cold water: due to the strict requirements of domestic publishing, a large portion of the content, possibly even one-fifth, might need to be deleted or revised. https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2024-03-10-qna-about-nvidia/ Sun, 10 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000 https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2024-03-10-qna-about-nvidia/ Q: After NVIDIA (NVDA) recently surged to a high of $1000(before 2024 split), there has been intense debate between bulls and bears, with many comparing it to Cisco’s peak during the dot-com bubble. What are your thoughts? A: In most cases, using old data to predict the stock market in the short term is not very meaningful: there are too many variables, and the probability of a situation repeating exactly is extremely low. https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2024-01-01-discussing-the-clash-of-eastern-and-western-ideologies/ Mon, 01 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0000 https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2024-01-01-discussing-the-clash-of-eastern-and-western-ideologies/ Today is New Year’s Day, so let’s dive into a light yet heavy topic. There’s something quite intriguing about the fact that golf tournaments offer exceptionally high prize money, yet we rarely see Chinese male players on the international stage. How high are golf prizes? The top 100 players can earn 15 million RMB a year: pure prize money, excluding endorsements and other income. Unlike our current state of resignation in sports like soccer and basketball, golf involves no direct physical confrontation. https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2023-06-01-the-story-of-mobile-baseband-processors/ Thu, 01 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0000 https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2023-06-01-the-story-of-mobile-baseband-processors/ As we all know, the world of semiconductors can be a complex and highly specialized industry that involves intricate cross-technologies and geopolitical considerations. Consequently, it cannot be reduced to simple tags like red and blue OR black and white. While most people may not be interested in the facts or the truth, they still want to be right. Zeku’s shut-down touched me deeply, and I have taken the liberty of revising it for everyone’s criticism. https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2023-05-01-one-hundred-years-of-solitude-of-the-jin-family/ Mon, 01 May 2023 00:00:00 +0000 https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2023-05-01-one-hundred-years-of-solitude-of-the-jin-family/ During my vacation, I had the pleasure of reading two memoir articles written by my father. It left me deeply moved. As time passes, memories tend to fade away, and the collective memory of society fades even more quickly. The official histories often focus on the nobility and high-ranking officials, leaving behind the tales of common people. Without being recorded, these stories and moments disappear without a trace. My family name is Jin, and we are of Han ethnicity, not descended from the Korean or Manchu ethnic groups. https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2023-04-04-the-great-transformation-of-hundreds-years-exploring-the-recent-financial-and-ai-disruptions/ Tue, 04 Apr 2023 00:00:00 +0000 https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2023-04-04-the-great-transformation-of-hundreds-years-exploring-the-recent-financial-and-ai-disruptions/ In the wake of recent events, questions have arisen among tech enthusiasts, investors, and everyday people, with inquiries such as “Why did Silicon Valley Bank collapse?” “What happened with Credit Suisse?” “How did Bitcoin surge so much?” “Is OpenAI really that disruptive?” and “What’s the deal with AI in China?” This month, we’re going to blow the lid off these topics. First, let’s talk about the financial disruption. Traditional banking systems, particularly foreign banks, may face significant issues in the next ten years. https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2023-02-01-blue-foxes-island/ Wed, 01 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0000 https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2023-02-01-blue-foxes-island/ I was greatly moved after listening to the book about Blue Fox Island during the Spring Festival. This is probably the most arduous task humans have ever undertaken, and at that time people did not receive any reward for it except for death. How to drag this matter together with ChatGPT is exactly what this article intends to accomplish. One, Peter the Great.

In the late 1990s, I once attempted to become a programmer. Unfortunately, I encountered a serious problem - eye fatigue. Back in the day, CRT was the predominant type of computer monitor, and the level of eye strain and flicker was so severe that I estimate people nowadays couldn’t bear to look at it for more than 10 minutes. https://jinjiefan.com/autores/autores-de-hugo/ Thu, 05 Jan 2023 01:15:52 +0100 https://jinjiefan.com/autores/autores-de-hugo/ https://jinjiefan.com/categoria/temas/ Wed, 04 Jan 2023 23:21:18 +0100 https://jinjiefan.com/categoria/temas/ https://jinjiefan.com/categoria/sintaxe/ Wed, 04 Jan 2023 23:21:06 +0100 https://jinjiefan.com/categoria/sintaxe/ https://jinjiefan.com/tags/shortcodes/_index.pt-br/ Wed, 04 Jan 2023 11:51:36 +0100 https://jinjiefan.com/tags/shortcodes/_index.pt-br/ https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2023-01-01-ranking-of-engineering-universities-in-china-in-the-1980s/ Sun, 01 Jan 2023 00:00:00 +0000 https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2023-01-01-ranking-of-engineering-universities-in-china-in-the-1980s/ “The harsh winds of time relentlessly wash away the imprints of the era, causing the past glory and misery to quickly be forgotten by people.” First of all, let’s say farewell to the dreadful year of 2022 together, and I wish all our dear readers a happy new year! In the past month or so, too many things have happened. I originally wanted to say something, but it seems to be meaningless. https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2022-11-01-on-the-nonsense-of-startups/ Tue, 01 Nov 2022 00:00:00 +0000 https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2022-11-01-on-the-nonsense-of-startups/ One Link to heading Regarding startup companies, there is a rough but interesting theory that if at least two of the following three are strong, the company can survive, and if all three are strong, it becomes an outstanding company.

As the saying goes, “Buy the rumor, sell the news.” This means that one should buy when there is a story and sell when the news (the story’s conclusion) breaks. It is important to note that even if the story does come true, if there are no new stories, the stock will no longer rise. https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2022-08-01-engineering-university-rankings-in-china-prior-to-liberation1949/ Mon, 01 Aug 2022 00:00:00 +0000 https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2022-08-01-engineering-university-rankings-in-china-prior-to-liberation1949/ During college acceptance season, I was chatting with friends and accidentally boasted about being able to claim a full set of (清北复交)“Tsinghua University, Peking University, and Shanghai Jiao Tong University” alumni in my direct family lineage for three generations, or a total of seven individuals. However, we should not delve into everything. Did people of my grandfather’s generation monopolize top universities like Tsinghua and Peking University during the Republic of China, just like they do today? https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2022-06-01-amat-and-ald-curse/ Wed, 01 Jun 2022 00:00:00 +0000 https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2022-06-01-amat-and-ald-curse/ AMAT is one of the most prominent representatives in this regard: its long-standing and reliable manufacturing process, significant investment in anti-cyclical research and development, and global service layout are all important advantages. However, increasingly unpredictable geopolitics have added a great deal of uncertainty to the future of the entire industry. 1.

At the beginning of the series, the President of the United States, his cabinet, and all members of Congress were killed in a bombing at Capitol Hill. Jack Bauer has leapt from being the Minister of Housing to becoming the President of the United States, while the sexy middle-aged woman Maggie Q portrays the detective who exposes the conspiracy. https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2022-05-01-pcr-testing-the-technology-changed-china-in-2022/ Sun, 01 May 2022 00:00:00 +0000 https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2022-05-01-pcr-testing-the-technology-changed-china-in-2022/ Recently, many people have mixed feelings about a technology that originated from the United States - PCR testing. As a public account that enjoys writing about the history of technology, today we will discuss the birthplace of this technology: a particularly ill-fated American company. 1.

It is a remarkable thing that William and Mary are often mentioned together, as both King and Queen of England during their time. William was Dutch.

What many overlook is that in 1951, Japan signed the San Francisco Peace Treaty with the Allied Powers, restoring its status as a normal nation. In comparison, Germany had a bug: after World War II, the Allies did not sign a treaty with the legal Third Reich, but instead created two puppet states through military occupation. It wasn’t until 1990, after the reunification of West Germany, that the 2+4 Treaty was signed to restore full sovereignty. https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2020-06-22-a-well-known-failure-start-up-from-tsinghua-university/ Mon, 22 Jun 2020 00:00:00 +0000 https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2020-06-22-a-well-known-failure-start-up-from-tsinghua-university/ Introduction From 1996 to 1999, as the internet rose, the Nasdaq index soared from 1000 points to 4000 points. The legendary stories of Netscape, Yahoo, Cisco and others have greatly excited the first generation of Chinese student netizens. In 1999, Tsinghua University made a very avant-garde decision by allowing students to take a break from their studies to start their own entrepreneurial ventures. The origin of this decision can be traced back to the spontaneously organized Tsinghua Student Entrepreneurship Association and the heated entrepreneurship competition it launched. https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2020-06-21-in-memory-of-dr-jiang-shangzhou-former-chairman-of-smic/ Sun, 21 Jun 2020 00:00:00 +0000 https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2020-06-21-in-memory-of-dr-jiang-shangzhou-former-chairman-of-smic/ “Exert oneself to the fullest until death, and only then be at peace.” - “Memoir on the Final Campaign,” written by Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms period.

The reason is simple: fragmented information from sensationalist media may not necessarily form a meaningful whole. Is 5G a battle for the nation’s fate? Unfortunately, I have to tell those pink-faced friends who crave war after enjoying forty years of peace that it certainly is not what they are looking for. Why? Not to mention that the use of 5G is still unclear, but the entry barrier for 5G has actually been lowered instead of raised. https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2020-03-22-ranking-of-chinese-cities-technological-awareness-2020/ Sun, 22 Mar 2020 00:00:00 +0000 https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2020-03-22-ranking-of-chinese-cities-technological-awareness-2020/ Last year, I made fun of the “Times Higher Education World University Rankings.” Because its ranking method was peculiar, it also caused some controversy on Zhihu (a Chinese Q&A platform).

Why is it called a shocking case? Because it’s rare in history for one company to force another company to pay nearly a hundred billion dollars, and this case has been going on for 10 years after many twists and turns.

Human confusion is much greater now than 2000 years ago. At that time, the philosophers, such as Laozi, Confucius, Buddha, and Christ, all had incredibly clear perspectives and judgments about this world.

Everyone knows about Sony’s Walkman portable music player, but very, very few have likely heard of the Watchman. So what is Watchman? “Watchmaker?” In the early 1980s, extremely wealthy Chinese families would probably have a 9-inch or 12-inch black and white television, attracting relatives from several miles away to gather and watch shows like “Zi San Si Lang” and “Huo Yuan Jia. https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2019-08-21-article_0/ Wed, 21 Aug 2019 00:00:00 +0000 https://jinjiefan.com/posts/2019-08-21-article_0/ 2018 was a sad year for Intel. Just one month before the company’s 50th anniversary celebration, CEO Brian Krzanich, who had been squeezed toothpaste with the company for five years, resigned due to a scandal involving his personal life. The outside speculation is that this is just an excuse the board found to get rid of him, as the relationship itself is insignificant.

Against the backdrop of the success of Win95 and Gates’ ascent to the top of the richest list, Son’s bet on PC memory has some similarities to his current bet on ARM.
