Amazing! I just saw some incredible open-source stuff from a foreigner!! Have you ever wondered what your computer would do if the internet suddenly disappeared from the entire world? Someone just open-sourced a survival kit for offline internet access. Project N.O.M.A.D. Even if all network cables are unplugged, it will still run. It contains fundamental data on human civilization—the complete Wikipedia, global offline maps, and comprehensive medical reference guides. It even includes 5000 years of human civilization and the entire Khan Academy curriculum. It even has a built-in, fully locally running AI assistant. No internet, no cloud, no subscription fees. How big of a server room would this system need? One solar panel, one battery, one mini PC, one wireless router. That's all. Power consumption is 15 to 65 watts. Put it in a campervan, on a sailboat, or in an underground bunker, and it becomes your sanctuary of knowledge. This thing essentially gives you an offline knowledge base that's intelligent and can converse. It's installed with a single command. As long as there's electricity, human knowledge will never go offline. So, is the ultimate goal of AI still: electricity?

What type of "fruit" stock investor are you? Peeling back the fruit reveals the essence of your trading. We're always staying up late analyzing candlestick charts and financial reports, trying to understand the market's temperament, but rarely are we willing to stop and take a good look at ourselves in the mirror. Our personality, weaknesses, and cognitive boundaries are all hidden within this fruit peel. **Apple Type:** Seemingly round and pleasing, but actually shrewd and calculating. They talk about long-term investing, but are quick to cash in at the first sign of volatility. They only look at the surface of stocks, don't understand industry logic, and following the crowd is their norm. **Durian Type:** Prickly and unapproachable on the outside, with an aggressive investment style and strong likes and dislikes. They have a unique eye for stock selection, specializing in undervalued high-potential stocks. Once they've identified a stock, they stick with it relentlessly. They have extremely high risk tolerance, and their returns often exceed expectations. **Coconut Type:** Hard as a tank, with maximum defense, but hollow inside. They talk fluently about macroeconomics, but when it comes to actual investment, they only offer bland, straightforward pronouncements. Their world consists only of commands, not nuances. Lychee Type: Rough on the outside, seemingly unkempt; initially, their bluntness can be harsh, but once you get to know them, you'll discover they always offer the most practical advice in crucial moments—a "nutritious" force hidden beneath their rough shell. Lemon Type: Overflowing with "lemon acid," they feel worse seeing others profit than losing themselves; perpetually skeptical of the market, they criticize everyone's opinions, and the more the market rises, the stronger their "sourness." Kiwi Type: Stock picking relies entirely on intuition; their initial entries are aggressive, often resulting in massive losses; only after being battered by the market do they begin to study fundamentals, slowly developing "nutrition" and becoming mature investors capable of offering sound advice. Strawberry Type: Outwardly glamorous, always the center of attention, but inwardly soft and fragile; once they trust someone, they open their heart completely; their emotions fluctuate wildly, easily becoming emo at the slightest adversity—as perishable as a strawberry. Sugarcane Type: Initially mediocre, but increasingly surprising you over time; maintains a calm and collected mindset amidst market fluctuations, enduring pressure and slowly reaping the rewards; however, focuses only on surface gains and ignores risks, potentially ending up with nothing. Watermelon Type: The typical bystander, perpetually holding no or minimal positions, loves browsing stock forums, liking others' posts, indifferent to market conditions; their greatest pleasure is "giving a good vote, and tomorrow's market will surely be a limit up." Bitter Gourd Type: A natural contrarian indicator; buy when it falls, sell when it rises, their account is greener than a bitter gourd, always joking, "If I had bought the opposite way, I'd be living in a villa by the sea now." The essence of trading is never about beating the market, but about mastering yourself: Apple-type traders need to learn to withstand volatility; Durian-type traders need to control the boundaries of their aggressiveness; Coconut-type traders need to cultivate inner understanding; Lemon-type traders need to let go of the sourness of envy; Strawberry-type traders need to stabilize their emotional fluctuations; Sugarcane-type traders need to see the hidden reefs of risk; Watermelon-type traders need to learn to put their knowledge into practice; Bitter gourd-type traders need to learn to use their "intuition" in reverse. Ultimately, no "fruit" is born to make money, and no one is destined to be harvested by the market. The market doesn't favor any particular personality type; it only rewards those who understand themselves, adapt their strategies, and adhere to their bottom line. Instead of chasing hot trends today and switching tracks tomorrow, it's better to first understand: What kind of fruit are you? What kind of soil can your roots take hold in?

Seven Levels of Trading Awakening: From Gambler to Awakened One, Which Level Are You Stuck On? Brothers, after spending enough time immersed in the red and green of candlestick charts, you'll realize that trading is never a game of getting rich quick through a single accurate prediction, but rather a path of awakening through breaking through layers of limitations and introspective cultivation. The seven levels in this chart represent the true transformation trajectory of countless traders from "gambling on price movements by luck" to "steady profits without panic." Level 1: Guessing Direction – The Novice's Game of Relying on Luck Newcomers are obsessed with "catching big market moves, predicting the direction correctly, and improving the win rate." They stare at moving averages and MACD for golden crosses and death crosses, betting all their profits on subjective judgment. If they win, they feel like stock market geniuses; if they lose, they blame the market for being unreasonable. In short, this stage is about relying on luck, surrendering your fate to the random fluctuations of candlestick charts. A single winning trade is considered lucky; a loss is inevitable. Essentially, you're a "puppet" of the market. Level 2: Control – The Transition from Gambler's Mindset to Trader's Mindset Having suffered several margin calls and deep losses, I finally began to face the risks squarely. I learned to set stop-loss orders, control position sizing, and manage drawdowns. My mindset gradually shifted from the gambler's "all-in" mentality to the trader's "calculated" approach. However, this level doesn't completely eliminate the pitfalls – the obsession with "every trade must be profitable" still lingers. Profits bring elation, losses lead to self-doubt, and I haven't escaped the control of my emotions. Level 3: Structure – The Real Turning Point Lies in the System This is the watershed moment in understanding. No longer blindly trusting subjective predictions, I actively suppress the obsession with "I think it will go up," avoiding direct confrontation with the market. The core logic is remarkably simple: a single trade can be wrong, but the system cannot be chaotic. What to buy, when to buy, how much to lose, and how to take profits all have clear rules and frameworks. This isn't a constraint, but the bottom line for survival in the market; from now on, I rely on rules, not feelings. Level 4: Survival is King – Breaking the Technical Illusion of "Accurate Prediction" At this level, you truly understand: the ultimate goal of trading is never to prove you're smarter than the market, but rather to "survive, remain stable, and be replicable." No longer obsessed with miraculous bottom-fishing and top-selling maneuvers; accepting that individual losses are a necessary cost of profitability. As long as you remain in the market long-term, consistently delivering profits according to the rules, wealth will naturally become a stable byproduct – those chasing overnight riches have long since left; only those who "survive" are the ultimate winners. Level 5: Repeated Profits – Risk Locked In, Profits Rely on Compound Interest Once the system is running smoothly, you'll find that profits don't rely on momentary passion, but on repeatable, stable output. The core is to completely lock in risk: allow for incorrect market predictions, but strictly define position sizing, drawdowns, and stop-loss levels. At this point, profitability and stability will be maximized simultaneously; you no longer rely on luck for single-day gains, but on long-term compound interest built on rules. Level 6: The Essence of Wealth – Long-Term Accumulation Under Slow and Stable Boundaries Finally understanding the core of wealth: continuous positive output under controllable risk. Confronting the human traits of "greed, impatience, and the desire to win," accumulate wealth using a structure of "slow, stable, and bounded" growth. Wealth is never about how much you earn at once, but about consistently generating positive returns without liquidation. Those at this level understand the trading truth that "slow is fast." Level 7: True Awakening – Seeing Through Yourself is the Ultimate Transformation This is the highest level: shifting from "seeing through the market" to "seeing through yourself." No longer swayed by market fluctuations, not negating the system because of a single loss, and not becoming arrogant because of a single profit. Breaking free from emotional drive, completing the transformation from a "trader" to a "stable person." At this stage, the logic of trading becomes integrated into life, enabling the creation of wealth in any field through stable understanding.

Dan Bin stated that the ironclad rule of the US stock market has never changed. Almost every year sees a pullback exceeding 10%, which is the norm in market operation, not the end of risk. Looking back over the past three years: In August 2024, the yen's interest rate hike triggered capital inflows, causing a correction in US stocks; In March and April 2025, escalating trade frictions and panic led to a decline in the index; In February and March 2026, escalating geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East caused further market turmoil. While the causes of these three pullbacks differed, they all confirmed one fact: any major bull market is inseparable from the baptism of volatility. Looking at a longer time horizon, the S&P 500 index has frequently experienced annual pullbacks exceeding 10% over the decades, yet its long-term annualized returns remain robust. These fluctuations mostly stem from short-term noise such as geopolitical conflicts, policy shifts, and trade disputes. While seemingly impactful, they have never shaken the core trend of industrial upgrading. Just like the early days of the internet, frequent setbacks such as bursting bubbles and tightening regulations ultimately could not stop the technological revolution from reshaping the world. The current era of artificial intelligence is mirroring this historical trajectory. As a new revolution in productivity, the process of AI technology implementation, industrial penetration, and profit realization is destined to be accompanied by valuation discrepancies and emotional fluctuations. Most investors fail because they are swayed by short-term noise, panicking and selling during pullbacks, then chasing highs after rebounds, ultimately missing out on the opportunities of this era. True long-term investing lies in seeing through volatility to the essence. There's no need to be anxious about the regular annual drawdowns; instead, they should be seen as opportunities to invest in high-quality assets. Ignoring short-term disturbances and adhering to the core themes of the AI revolution—this composure against noise is key to navigating cycles and seizing the opportunities of this era. Great eras are never smooth sailing; only those who firmly believe in the long term and uphold value can become the ultimate winners.

Classic! Duan Yongping discusses the difference between investing and speculating! Why do most people lose money? The truths Duan Yongping dared to speak in his early years.

The fighting has lasted for nine days. During these nine days, there has been a lot of information, including much misinformation, but one basic fact remains true: 1. Iran is not as weak as some claim; 2. The US is not as strong as some claim. As for how many US military bases in the Middle East have been destroyed, or how much damage has been done to Israel and Iran, that's no longer important. The most important thing is that failing to take down Iran in nine days is a failure in itself. The longer the conflict drags on, the more likely it is to become apparent. In fact, the intensity of the war has decreased over the past nine days; bombing raids by both sides are less frequent than at the beginning. The impact on the market is likely to be diminishing (unless new events occur). Could today's high for crude oil be the high point for this phase? That's for everyone to think about.

Nice! I recently got a base model Mac mini and paired it with that retro docking station, and it feels amazing! I couldn't resist showing it off. My 16GB + 256GB base model Mac mini is now a lobster farming base. Running it 24/7 with low power consumption, raising some lobsters (running small models and automated tasks), the cost-effectiveness is off the charts. Paired with the Wokyis M5 docking station, which looks like a Macintosh, both aesthetics and functionality are on point. My 256GB storage anxiety is solved, and my desktop looks better too. About how to use the Mac mini for lobster farming: · Low-cost isolation: macOS's native multi-user isolation is even lighter than Docker, making 16GB of RAM feel like 32GB. Combined with ClawdHome, it allows the whole family to safely run OpenClaw lobster farming on this little box, and I've raised several different levels of lobsters myself. • Visual Interaction: The Wokyis M5's secondary screen perfectly solves the awkwardness of the Mac mini's "headless" design, allowing you to easily check what your Mac is doing, and even monitor the shrimp on your Raspberry Pi. • Low Power Consumption King: A 24/7 uninterrupted home AI hub, coupled with the OpenClaw ecosystem, it's a godsend for developers and tinkerers. • Local Model Enhancement: Recently, I've been using the Qwen 3.5 small model and local TTS, running small models on the Apple MLX architecture for manual tasks, prioritizing privacy – it's fantastic. Let's talk about this docking station (Wokyis M5): I initially thought it was just a retro decorative piece, but its functionality is surprisingly impressive: • 5-inch High-Definition Monitor: Not only does it serve as a secondary screen for my Mac to check the clock, but I also connect it to my Raspberry Pi to monitor my Mac in real-time while running browser automations – this perspective is inexplicably stress-relieving. * **Physical Buttons for a Superb Experience:** Physical buttons for screen power and brightness adjustment provide excellent tactile feedback, much more comfortable than a touch bar. * **Built-in M.2 SSD Bay:** Supports up to 8TB of expansion, relieving 256GB users' storage anxiety. Whether storing data for everyday tasks or using it as a home backup hub, it's all there. * **Full Range of Ports:** Four USB-A ports + one USB-C port (all 10Gbps), plus dual SD/TF 4.0 card reading. Photographers no longer need to blindly plug and unplug files from the back of the device. * **Cooling and Quiet Operation:** The exposed bottom section, while slightly less aesthetically pleasing, aids in heat dissipation; the M4 truly stays cool. It's amazing! Perfect for those who love tinkering and having fun.
