@cherbim iOS 在国内这方面的优势是有个可以访问的官方 app store 吧。

还有苹果推出了新颜色的 iPhone13

来一个。

说是快解决了。

纯正 https, http2 代理吧。部署也非常简单。

卖二手，然后拿钱买个 NUC 之类的小主机，比笔记本方便。

@taogen 不背单词是不可能的，最终英语能力取决于单词量。

但是我认为背单词一定和阅读结合，背词汇表意义不大，用不到的单词注定会被忘记。

可以坚持每天读挑几篇 NYT 上感兴趣的文章读，背所有遇到的不认识的单词!!!当有一天你读半个小时 NYT ，只遇到 5-10 个生词，你大概就有 8000-10000 以上的词汇量了。
接下来也许可以挑战一下福尔摩斯，同样的方法。当有一天你读半个小时福尔摩斯，只有 10 个生词，估计就有 15000+词汇量了。

词汇量也有两年没怎么变了。

恕我直言，大部分英文小说和 The economist 不是一个难度的。The economist10000 词汇量就能看懂 95%以上，阅读正常英文小说没有 15000-20000 以上词汇量是感觉不到任何乐趣的。

问了下 claude
Some key reasons OpenAI is not releasing GPT-3 or ChatGPT in China:

Political concerns: There are tensions between US and China on AI and technology. Releasing powerful AI models in China could be seen as strengthening China's AI capabilities relative to the US.
Censorship and surveillance: China has broad censorship and surveillance laws. There are concerns that GPT-3 or ChatGPT could be used or altered to aid censorship or surveillance, which OpenAI does not want to enable.
Lack of oversight: There is less transparency and oversight around AI use in China. OpenAI has expressed a goal of careful, regulated development of AI, and the Chinese context may not allow for that.
IP and commercial concerns: There are also intellectual property and commercial concerns about releasing OpenAI's models and code in China without sufficient controls in place. OpenAI likely wants to retain control over how its systems are used.

Overall, there are a number of political, regulatory, and ethical concerns holding OpenAI back from releasing powerful AI models like GPT-3 and ChatGPT in China. They aim for careful oversight of these technologies, which may not be feasible in the Chinese context. Of course, China could still develop its own systems with similar capabilities.

听听 Bard 的看法
There are a few reasons why OpenAI doesn't provide ChatGPT service to China.

First, China has a strict censorship policy, and OpenAI would need to comply with this in order to operate in the country. This could mean that ChatGPT would be limited in what it could say or do, which would defeat the purpose of the service.

Second, China has a strong domestic tech industry, and OpenAI would face stiff competition from Chinese companies that are already offering similar services.

Third, OpenAI is a US-based company, and there are currently tensions between the US and China. This could make it difficult for OpenAI to do business in China.

Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to provide ChatGPT service to China is up to OpenAI. However, there are a number of factors that they would need to consider before making a decision.

接着我又问，why not Iran either ？

OpenAI has not publicly stated why it does not provide ChatGPT service to Iran. However, it is likely that the company is concerned about the potential for its technology to be used for censorship or surveillance in Iran.

我觉得这两个加在一起就完整了。
