“He who lives to see two or three generations is like a man who sits some time in the conjurer’s booth at a fair and witnesses the performance twice or thrice in succession. The tricks were meant to be seen only once; and when they are no longer a novelty and cease to deceive, their effect is gone.” — Arthur Schopenhauer

Palm的荣光Loren Pope, former education editor for The New York Times, writes about Reed in Colleges That Change Lives, saying, "If you're a genuine intellectual, love the life of the mind, and want to learn for the sake of learning, the place most likely to empower you is not Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Chicago, or Stanford. It is the most intellectual college in the country — Reed in Portland, Oregon."

“It’s only for me, and — but I but I personally think of my belief that God exists, although I have no idea what that means. But I believe that there is something beyond human capabilities — and it might be some AI, but whatever, but I do believe that there is something that goes beyond the realm of human understanding, that I can try to learn more about how to resonate with, whatever that being would like me to do.”
“Taste is trying to expose yourself to the best things humans have done and then trying to bring those things into what you are doing.”
Jobs explained in an interview with Businessweek in 2004: “Lots of companies have tons of great engineers and smart people. But ultimately, there needs to be some gravitational force that pulls it all together. Otherwise you can get great pieces of technology all floating around the universe.”
As the great architect Alvar Aalto once stated: “Nearly every design task involves tens, often hundreds, sometimes thousands of different contradictory elements, which are forced into a functional harmony only by man’s will. This harmony cannot be achieved by any other means than those of art.”

原来美国移民如此不容易那些背负巨额债务以完成学业的学生，不太可能有远大的理想。因为当人们陷入债务时，他们就没有时间思考其他问题。
债务是一种改造手段，当这些学生毕业时，他们不仅背负着沉重的债务，思想上已经被改造过了，使他们成为消费经济的有效组成部分。 -- 诺姆·乔姆斯基，美国著名学者有一个名词叫做"报复性熬夜"，指的是有些人明明在白天疲劳不堪，晚上却不愿意早睡，宁愿在床上玩手机。
这是因为他们控制不了自己的生活，通过在晚上推迟睡觉，获得一点自己掌控时间的自由感。Open Circuits: The Inner Beauty of Electronic Components https://opencircuitsbook.com/
如此精美的电子器件书，应该会让更多人爱上EE吧如果金钱统治世界，那么谁统治金钱？
答案是 那些有能力制造通货膨胀的人统治着金钱。他们首先借钱购买实物资产，通货膨胀之后，再用贬值的钱来还债。Fridman prompts Knuth to talk about how that Tic Tac Toe program had some 1957-style machine learning. “Yeah, that’s right,” Knuth says with a smile (adding “I don’t know how long it’s going to be before the name of our field is changed from computer science to machine learning…”)
原文地址 独家教程 | “真假难辨”的效果图如何打造，以一只笔为例（下）——渲染篇 上期独家教程，康石石带大家用Rhino完成了 COPIC MULTILINER 针管笔建模（复习请戳： 独家教程 | “真假难辨”的效果图如何打造，以一只笔为例（上）——建模篇 ），下面我们把它丢进Keyshot渲染器里，看看究竟Keyshot究竟能不能打造真实照片一般的既视感。 Keyshot虽为各家晚辈，但近年来突飞猛进。有的同学说Keyshot渲染效果不如V-Ray，但我们可以看下本期独家教程内容再作判断。 基础材质赋予 首先我们打开 Keyshot 基本导入参数 导入后 由于我们事先在Rhino中，对各个部件分过色，所以我们可以直接，尽情 把左边各种需要的材质球直接拖到需要的部件上 。 初步赋予材质后效果 特写效果 环境光赋予 Keyshot预设的材质显然不能够完全适合所需情况，且物体上的光线并不是很正确。因此同学们需要 将环境光换成更加接近真实摄影棚的灯光场景 。 选用 3 Panels Tilted 2k 作为的基本环境光，将环境光拖入环境里之后，效果如下： 模型各部材质赋予 由于光影的变化，整个模型已更加真实。 接下来 各部的材质还需根据实际的视觉情况 手工调整 。 以下是这次模型各部材质的参数： 笔身主要的金属材质 黑色塑料件部分以及笔头的黑色 笔夹与笔头所使用的金属材质 Tip：金属材质是将Keyshot预设的钢材质的粗糙度调整为0.01而成。 握柄处的塑料材质 Tip：因为塑料的视觉特点，此处特地选用了 半透明属性的材质 做调整，除了表面颜色的参数之外，剩余的三个颜色区域均使用了 R255，G255，B255的纯白 。 笔身标签渲染 在给各部赋予了材质之后，产品很重要的一个环节就是印刷于产品之上的各种商标与说明，在Keyshot中，这些效果可以很轻松的通过标签功能来实现。 首先对实物上的印刷效果进行观察， 可以看出实物上的印刷效果其实是比较立体的 。 Tip： 细节，往往是产品品质的一种体现。 在效果图的渲染中，也应该...
