Steve Jobs talks about the difference between art and technology

 When asked by Time magazine about the difference between art and technology, Jobs said, “I’ve never believed that they’re separate. Leonardo da Vinci was a great artist and a great scientist. Michelangelo knew a tremendous amount about how to cut stone at the quarry. The finest dozen computer scientists I know are all musicians. Some are better than others, but they all consider that an important part of their life. I don’t believe that the best people in any of these fields see themselves as one branch of a forked tree. I just don’t see that. People bring these things together a lot. Dr. Land at Polaroid said, ‘I want Polaroid to stand at the intersection of art and science,’ and I’ve never forgotten that. I think that that’s possible, and I think a lot of people have tried.”

Tencent Q4 2022 Earnings Call Transcript

In addition, we're gaining user mind share in live events. For example, over 190 million viewers watched the 2023 CCTV Spring Festival Gala, via live streaming on Video Accounts. ──用户心智这么强，万万没想到 To conclude the strategy section, I would like to share with you our perspective on artificial intelligence, specifically the implications of foundation models for Tencent. The most important takeaway is that we expect AI to be a growth multiplier for us going forward. We have a long-standing experience in developing and adopting AI technologies, which has already benefited many of our businesses such as advertising games, short-form videos and cloud computing. ──AI作为收入倍增器，这一点上的思路，倒是和微软一致的 We experienced substantial demand for Video Accounts ads promising us to release more inventory and Video Accounts in-feed ads exceeded RMB1 billion in quarterly revenue. ──视频号信息流广告收入-单季度10亿 Within Business Services, we're actively helping automobile manufacturers such as NIO, BMW and GAC Motor, enhan...

Interview with Steve Jobs, WGBH, 1990

Interviewer: what is it about this machine? Why is this machine so interesting? Why has it been so influential? Jobs: Ah ahm, I'll give you my point of view on it. I remember reading a magazine article a long time ago ah when I was ah twelve years ago maybe, in I think it was Scientific American . I'm not sure. And the article ahm proposed to measure the efficiency of locomotion for ah lots of species on planet earth to see which species was the most efficient at getting from point A to point B. Ah and they measured the kilocalories that each one expended. So ah they ranked them all and I remember that ahm...ah the Condor, Condor was the most efficient at [CLEARS THROAT] getting from point A to point B.

The Little MongoDB Book

The Little MongoDB Book 基础 在一个MongoDB实例中可以有若干数据库或一个都没有，不过这里的数据库都是高层次容器，用来储存其他的所有数据 一个数据库可以有若干集合或者一个都没有， 集合由若干文档组成，也可以为空 文档由一个或更多的域组成 索引的意义 游标和以上概念不同，很重要但是常常被忽略，有一点很重要，每当向MongoDB索要数据时，总是返回一个游标 小结一下，MongoDB由数据库组成，数据库由集合组成，集合由文档组成。域组成了文档，集合可以被索引，从而提高了查找和排序的性能。最后，从MongoDB读取数据的时候是通过游标进行的，除非需要，游标不会真正去作读的操作 读到后面觉得实战意义不是很大，就跳过了

产品随想 | 周刊 第126期：Think of your life as a rainbow arcing across the horizon of this world

FolderPaint   https://github.com/MichaelTr7/FolderPaint Folder colour changing application for macOS. 乔布斯说：“对于我和苹果公司的许多人来说，索尼的盛田昭夫是最大的灵感来源之一。我希望我们今天的所想所为能让他会心一笑。” 乔布斯甚至从索尼挖走了一位顶级设计师。哈特穆特·艾斯林格被苹果挖走前，已在 100 多种索尼产品的创造中发挥了重要作用。 供职于索尼时，艾斯林格所在的设计工作室与管理办公室和工厂车间享有同等地位。他说，这样有助于促进公司生产和设计团队之间在一定程度上达成团结，这正是乔布斯试图重建的团结。 艾斯林格指出：“乔布斯有能力洞察事物的好坏，却不知道如何实现以及如何通过组织去构建。因此，我们向苹果提出的第一个建议是，赋予设计师一定的话语权。” 斯卡利表示，乔布斯和盛田之间的深厚友谊和相互敬重可以归结为对于设计的共同热忱。 “他们以非常积极的方式产生了共鸣”，斯卡利说，“两位来自不同文化背景的创始人共聚一堂，这是非常难能可贵的。他们讨论设计原则，却从不谈及商业模式。” “Think of your life as a rainbow arcing across the horizon of this world.

罗伯特·艾格 创始人肖像计划 <​Ep.2>

Link 罗伯特·艾格 创始人肖像计划 <​Ep.2>   https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/127042313 Note 这个男人，过去十五年时间，几乎不接受采访，只是静悄悄的，花掉了1000亿美金。 ——这个男人，太厉害了...... 艾格跳槽去了ABC，从最底层的小导播做起，一辈子46年职业生涯，再也没有跳过槽。这46年里的最后15年，他升任CEO，做出了惊天动地的大事情。 今年，艾格退休写了自传，起名字叫《The Ride of a Lifetime》，我想了半天，这书名有点拽，只能翻译成《一辈子就要干一票大的》，笔者一介俗人，但愿艾总不要介意，哈哈。 ——《一辈子的旅途》，感觉会更契合些？哈哈哈 在艾总的这本《干一票》里，我读来读去，总是找不到他是怎么升到副总裁的——升到副总裁之后的一步步到CEO倒是写的很细致，看来大佬写自传也为自己讳，不愿意提太多当年勇。 ——Interesting 地表最强二人组（Tom Murphy和Dan Burke）最牛逼的成就就是不出让股权（Equity）的资本并购。一路用自由现金流加发行债券来进行收购，85年的时候举债30亿，配合巴菲特的5亿美金，小鱼吞大鱼，一把吃掉了当时比自己体量大得多的ABC电视台。他们俩的管理特点是极端节俭，冷血砍成本（不禁让人想到贝索斯），收购完成后，直接开掉1500员工、干掉高管电梯、高管餐厅、全员改坐经济舱，甚至于把曼哈顿总部的办公室卖了，换来1.75亿美金。三年多就把当时举的债还完。 作为巴菲特一辈子最推崇的企业家组合，Tom和Dan还有一个特点：放权。他们俩极为谨慎用人，但是一旦选中，就破格提拔，尚方宝剑交出，让牛人干大事。没干多久，俩人就接二连三的退休了，艾格你年轻，你来当总裁！ 艾格原话是这么写的：“我心里也有预期，感觉最后总裁的位置是我的，但是确实没想到来的那么快”。按照网友的话就是“一脸懵逼”。 艾格有个特点，他性格是标准的外柔内刚，外圆内方。他不强势，不豪夺，永远不是人群中最聒噪的那位。他能等，在大都会（CapCities）花六年时间做三把手，等到二把手退休，再等好几年到一把手退休，最终上位 ——耐得住寂寞，受得住繁华 21世纪出头即提出战略： 第一句：我们只做高质量品牌视频 第二句：全力拥抱技术而不是对抗 第三句：全球化 大佬的出手案例...
