A Journal Through My Activities, Thoughts, and Notes
@27256 Johann Gottlieb Fichte was an 18th-century German
philosopher and student of
Immanuel Kant. He examined how it is possible for us to exist as ethical beings with free will, while living in a world that appears to be causally determined; that is to say, in a world where every event follows on necessarily from previous events and conditions, according to
unvarying laws of nature.
The idea that there is a world like this "out there", beyond our selves and independent of us, is known as dogmatism. This is an idea that gained ground in the Enlightenment period, but Fichte thinks that it leaves no room for moral values or choice. How can people be considered to have free will, he asks, if everything is determined by something else that exists outside of ourselves?
Fichte argues instead for a version of idealism similar to Kant's, in which our own minds create all that we think of as reality. In this idealist world, the self is an active entity or essence that exists outside of causal influences, and is able to think and choose freely, independently, and spontaneously.
Fichte understands idealism and dogmatism to be entirely different starting points. They can never be
"mixed" into one philosophical
system, he says; there is no way of proving philosophically which is correct, and neither can be used to refute the other. For this reason one can only "choose" which philosophy one believes in, not for objective, rational reasons, but depending upon "what sort of person one is."

@9661 今天大部分时间是AI决定一段代码够不够好，需要不需要重构（改写）。当然了，总还是有一些人类会对AI的代码指指点点，尽管他们已经几乎不会手写代码了。
多数软件开发人员都患有或者曾经患过“非我发明”综合症：在查看别人的代码或方案时认为自己能做的更好。也许我们真的能干得更漂亮，但我们并不知道原作者当时遭遇的限制条件。他们很可能受限于时间或资金预算，只能集中精力处理某个他们认为重要的特定部分。
今天中午和朋友H午饭，是在Riverside Market的夜上海吃的。每人点了一个四川担担面。居然是拌面呢。
是麻酱面的味道呢。有肉酱，花生和芝麻碎，香香辣辣挺好吃的。就是小贵，量小，以我的饭量，估计吃两份才能勉强饱。$26一份。
桌子都空着，正午时分，除了我俩，没有别的食客。
