  • “实际上,你要抑制自己的野心,这样你才能成为你应该成为的人。” ——Bob Dylan
    Basically you have to suppress your own ambitions in order to be who you need to be.

  • “为五万个人演奏和为五十个人演奏是完全不同的,五万人更像是一个简单的角色,而五十个人却能呈现出不同的个性,他们能表达出更清晰的诉求,你必须付出最大的才能去征服他们。”

  • 博尔赫斯的第一本书出版一年后只卖出37本,但他对此表示庆幸。在接受《巴黎评论》记者采访时,他说:“你可以试着设想一下这37个人——真实的大活人;我意思是说他们每个人都有一张只属于他自己特有的面孔,他自己的家庭;他住在某条特定的小街上……但是,如果说你的书卖出了,假定两千本吧,这就跟你的书一本都没卖出去是一码事,因为两千这个数字太庞大了,你不可能对两千个读者都有着具体的想象或印象。”

  • At the same time, he sang of love with a power of conviction everyone wants to own. All of a sudden, much of the bookish poetry in our world felt anaemic, and the routine song lyrics his colleagues continued to write were like old-fashioned gunpowder following the invention of dynamite. Soon, people stopped comparing him to Woody Guthrie and Hank Williams and turned instead to Blake, Rimbaud, Whitman, Shakespeare.

  • Chamfort made the observation that when a master such as La Fontaine appears, the hierarchy of genres - the estimation of what is great and small, high and low in literature - is nullified. “What matter the rank of a work when its beauty is of the highest rank?" he wrote. That is the straight answer to the question of how Bob Dylan belongs in literature: as the beauty of his songs is of the highest rank.

  • By means of his oeuvre, Bob Dylan has changed our idea of what poetry can be and how it can work. He is a singer worthy of a place beside the Greeks' ἀοιδόι, beside Ovid, beside the Romantic visionaries, beside the kings and queens of the Blues, beside the forgotten masters of brilliant standards. If people in the literary world groan, one must remind them that the gods don't write, they dance and they sing. The good wishes of the Swedish Academy follow Mr. Dylan on his way to coming bandstands.

  • Yes, I am a thief of thoughts
    not, I pray, a stealer of souls
    I have built an rebuilt ——Bob Dylan

  • 至于说现在是什么时代,答案永远是曙光初开。 ——鲍勃·迪伦《编年史》

  • 尼采说,“如果没有音乐,生活将是一个错误。”

  • Webby Awards https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webby_Awards?useskin=vector

  • Enlightenment https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/enlightenment/

  • Enlightenment https://www.history.com/topics/european-history/enlightenment

  • 在发表于1784年的论文《回答这个问题:什么是启蒙?》中,康德对于启蒙的含义进行了经典的表述:“启蒙就是人走出他自己所招致的不成熟的状态(Aufklärung ist der Ausgang des Menschen aus seinerselbst verschuldeten Unmündigkeit)。不成熟的状态就是不经别人的指导就不能运用自己的理智(Verstand)的状态。如果这种不成熟的状态的原因,不在于缺乏理智,而在于缺乏无须他人指导而使用自己的理智的决心和勇气,则它就是自己所招致的。因此,Sapere aude!要有勇气使用你自己的理智!这就是启蒙的格言。”从中可知,启蒙的目标乃是理性的成熟,而达成这一目标的关键在于每个人要勇于独立思考。

  • In Scott Galloway’s iconic words: “Money follows attention, and one firm has more of our children’s attention than any firm on earth.”

  • "I don't pretend we have all the answers. But the questions are certainly worth thinking about."

  • 到最后阶段,小说和剧本开始同时写作,相互激荡。“有时候我会在看过电影毛片之后再重写小说的某些段落,就文学创作来说,这可是相当昂贵的方法,没几个作者享受得到”,克拉克说道。这也是为什么很多读者认为库布里克是小说《2001》未署名的作者。
    原来2001太空漫游,还有这样的桥段

  • Super-Toys Last All Summer Long https://www.wired.com/1997/01/ffsupertoys/
    原来库布里克在20世纪末,就已经关注到AI

  • Clarke's three laws:

  1. When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
  2. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
  3. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

  • The English architect William Burges admitted in his late life "We all cribbed on Viollet-le-Duc even though no one could read French".
    至少能承认自己抄袭,哈哈哈
    想起毕加索&乔布斯那句:Pablo Picasso on Creativity, “Good artists copy, great artists steal.”

  • The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.

  • Hemingway said, “It would take a day to list everyone I borrowed ideas from, and it was no new thing for me to learn from everyone I could, living or dead. I learn as much from painters about how to write as I do from writers.”

  • Wilson Mizner (screenwriter) said, “If you steal from one author, it’s plagiarism, and if you steal from many, it’s research.”

  • T. S. Eliot’s dictum: “Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different. The good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique, utterly different than that from which it is torn.”

  • Gothic art is imperfect, only half resolved; it is a style created by the compasses, a formulaic industrial repetition. Its stability depends on constant propping up by the buttresses: it is a defective body held up on crutches. ... The proof that Gothic works are of deficient plasticity is that they produce their greatest emotional effect when they are mutilated, covered in ivy and lit by the moon. ——高迪

  • Paraboloids, hyperboloids and helicoids, constantly varying the incidence of the light, are rich in matrices themselves, which make ornamentation and even modelling unnecessary. ——高迪

  • Antoni Gaudí https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antoni_Gaudí?useskin=vector
    读书时候没搞懂的高迪,在工作几年后,慢慢开始懂他
    真是一位大师

  • As Viollet-le-Duc said himself: “to see is to know, to know is to create.”
    突然才发现,在自己青年时代,没有向更多活着活着死去的大师学习
    而当时自己其实是感觉到周围老师、教授水平不怎么样的

  • Arnault has said that brands like Louis Vuitton and Dior are successful because "they have these two aspects, which may be contradictory: They are timeless, [and] they are at the utmost level of modernity.”
    说直白一些,就是这些品牌在不停地进步,不停革新自己,所以他们既永恒又能始终不落伍

  • Architecte https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architecte?useskin=vector
    法语维基百科的建筑师词条
    写的远好于英语、好于中文

  • "He's so wonderfully prickly and famous for bursting into any house he built un-announced -- just come in with a troop of people and show them the house, rearrange the furniture. He would even sneak into the houses to rearrange the furniture when the owners were away," T.C. Boyle wrote of FLW, but it also describes how early Mac developers felt after demoing their products for Steve.

  • "I love it when you can bring really great design and simple capability to something that doesn't cost much. It was the original vision for Apple."
    希望苹果,牢记自己当时的初衷

  • “I have always found Buddhism—Japanese Zen Buddhism in particular—to be aesthetically sublime,” he told me. “The most sublime thing I’ve ever seen are the gardens around Kyoto.”

  • When Jobs gathered his top management for a pep talk soon after his return, sitting in the audience was a sensitive and passionate 30-year-old Brit who was head of the company’s design team. Jonathan Ive—known to all as Jony—was planning to quit. He was sick of the company’s focus on profit maximization rather than product design. Jobs’ talk led him to reconsider. “I remember very clearly Steve announcing that our goal is not just to make money but to make great products,” Ive recalled. “The decisions you make based on that philosophy are fundamentally different from the ones we had been making at Apple.” Ive and Jobs would soon forge a bond that would lead to the greatest industrial design collaboration of their era.
    我觉得,这才是乔纳森离开苹果的真正原因

  • “Why do we assume that simple is good? Because with physical products, we have to feel we can dominate them. As you bring order to complexity, you find a way to make the product defer to you. Simplicity isn’t just a visual style. It’s not just minimalism or the absence of clutter. It involves digging through the depth of the complexity. To be truly simple, you have to go really deep. For example, to have no screws on something, you can end up having a product that is so convoluted and so complex. The better way is to go deeper with the simplicity, to understand everything about it and how it’s manufactured. You have to deeply understand the essence of a product in order to be able to get rid of the parts that are not essential.” ——Jony Ive

  • After he was forced out, the process at Apple shifted to being engineer-driven. “Engineers would say ‘here are the guts’—processor, hard drive—and then it would go to the designers to put it in a box,” said Apple marketing chief Phil Schiller. “When you do it that way, you come up with awful products.” But when Jobs returned and forged his bond with Ive, the balance was again tilted toward the designers. “Steve kept impressing on us that the design was integral to what would make us great,” said Schiller. “Design once again dictated the engineering, not just vice versa.”

  • The plastic casing that Ive and Coster proposed was sea-green blue, and it was translucent so that you could see through to the inside of the machine. “We were trying to convey a sense of the computer being changeable based on your needs, to be like a chameleon,” said Ive. “That’s why we liked the translucency. You could have color, but it felt so unstatic. And it came across as cheeky.”

  • “Back then, people weren’t comfortable with technology. If you’re scared of something, then you won’t touch it. I could see my mum being scared to touch it. So I thought, if there’s this handle on it, it makes a relationship possible. It’s approachable. It’s intuitive. It gives you permission to touch. It gives a sense of its deference to you. Unfortunately, manufacturing a recessed handle costs a lot of money. At the old Apple, I would have lost the argument. What was really great about Steve is that he saw it and said, ‘That’s cool!’ I didn’t explain all the thinking, but he intuitively got it. He just knew that it was part of the iMac’s friendliness and playfulness.”

  • Jobs went home early that day to mull the problem, then called Ive to come over. They wandered into the garden, which Jobs’ wife, Laurene, had planted with a profusion of sunflowers. “Every year I do something wild with the garden, and that time it involved masses of sunflowers, with a sunflower house for the kids,” she recalled. “Jony and Steve were riffing on their design problem, then Jony asked, ‘What if the screen was separated from the base like a sunflower?’ He got excited and started sketching.” Ive liked his designs to suggest a narrative, and he realized that a sunflower shape would convey that the flat screen was so fluid and responsive that it could reach for the sun.
    原来当时是这样的设计理念

  • “There would be times when we’d wrack our brains on a user interface problem, and think we’d considered every option, and he would go, ‘Did you think of this?’” said Tony Fadell, the team leader. “He’d redefine the problem or approach, and our little problem would go away.”

BG投资十问(Baillie Gifford)

  1,公司是否能正面推动经济、社会或者文化发 展? 如果做不到,BG可能就不会再往下看了。比如军火、赌博类公司再便宜,BG不会去看。 2,公司销售额在5年之内能否翻倍? 为什么要讨论销售额?因为BG关注公司成长,销售额是比较简单直观的指标,而利润可有一些方法调节。所以,BG主要先关注销售额,再看现金流。 3,公司5年之后会怎么样? 这是未来5到10年或者5到15年的中间维度,一是看公司的成长空间究竟还有多大,二是考虑5年之后,公司的短期估值会不会下降,会不会变得成熟。 4,公司的竞争优势到底是什么?随着时间会变 强还是变弱? BG认为,如果公司的竞争优势是不断变弱的,将来在更远期挣回现金流的可能性就更低了。 5,公司是否有非常独特的文化?文化是否能够进化? 毕竟要投资这么长时间,对创始人和公司管理文化是非常关注的。特别喜欢创始人领导的公司,而不是说创始人什么都不干,创始人在做房地产,找了一些人在做新公司,要尽量避免这样的公司。 谈到进化在BG看来,大部分公司都会有大公司病,需要看它怎么能维持比较灵活的管理,变大之后还能够保持非常快速的成长,比如亚马逊的day one文化(注:就是始终处在 创业启动状态,充满迷茫和压力,但是充满创造力和颠覆思想 )。 6,公司过去的回报率怎么样? 一方面是考虑到公司的ROE(净资产收益率),二是考虑公司的Margins(利润),看它的过去是不是值得投资,如果每年ROE都不到10个点,可能长期来看也没什么意思。 7,ROE能不能随着时间增长? 有些公司一开始没有盈利,一直在烧钱,5年之后说不定ROE会到20%或者更高,它是一个动态过程。这样的公司BG也会投资,包括一些早期项目,很多公司都是没有盈利的。 8,公司怎么分配资本? 资本现金流无非就是5种方法:再投资、收购、还债、分红、回购股份,要看公司在某个阶段的资本分配是不是最优的。 如果公司明明可以发展更多,结果乱分红了;或者是明明到了特别成熟的时候,还不愿意分红,都是错误的分配资本。 9,公司怎样才能长成5倍? BG关注的是怎样,而不是能不能。这会强迫BG每个人去设想一些未来的可能性,包括公司现在的底层架构能不能够延伸到更多的业务。 比如,早期的亚马逊或者是阿里,连一个概念都没有,BG会考虑这个公司有没有这种机遇,以后去扩展到可触及的市场。 10,市场对公司有哪些误解,哪些事...

Steve Jobs: `There's Sanity Returning', 1998

Nobody can doubt the charisma of Steven P. Jobs. The interim CEO of Apple Computer Inc., who returned to the company last July after his ignominious 1985 ouster, has brought back his legendary vision, impatience, and infectious passion for the Macintosh. Jobs spoke to Business Week Correspondent Andy Reinhardt in Apple's stark, fourth-floor boardroom, just after the company rolled out its new software strategy on May 11. Note: This is an extended, online-only version of the Q&A that appears in the May 25, 1998, issue of Business Week. Q: Now that you've introduced the new, bold-looking iMac, are you going to do some radically different products? A: There's a lot of talk about such things -- about handhelds, set-top boxes. A lot of computer companies have been searching for a consumer product. My view is that the personal computer has been the most successful consumer product of the last 10 years. What we have to do, what the industry stopp...

毕设采访问卷自己的回答

1.      提一个作品中的有意思的设计点。       毕设中,自己觉得最有趣的一点是,尝试将商业建筑的一层开放给城市绿色空间,让其 作为 公园的一部分,让建筑的入侵感变弱。       很期待上海以后能出现这样的设计,尽管这样的设计短期看对于开发商没有利益,但我认 为 长期看对于城市使用者、对于城市管理者是有好处的,而我也还在思考,怎样去弥补这样 的 设计对于开发商造成的损失,希望能塑造共赢的局面,这个思考、设计的过程自己非常开 心,觉得有意思。 2.      如何看待城市发展过程中新旧交织的困局?设计师能做什么?        城市发展一般是从无到有,发展到一定阶段,最开始的就成了旧的,不可避免地会和新的产生冲突。        作为建筑设计师,面对旧的,我们常思考的是,它好不好?如果好,那新的要与他保持和谐,形式可能有新旧,但内核、设计语言是一致的;如果旧的不好,我们的思维是,趁着新的发展,一并改造、更新,让新旧作为整体面向城市。总的来说,就是设计师要整体考虑,对于旧的不能一味保留,也不能一味摈弃。 3.      完成毕设过程中遇到的困难以及如何解决的?从中收获了什么?        遇到最大的困难是城市总平面设计中,对于基地新旧建筑的考虑,自己常希望能多保留一些,但设计中又发现如何把握度有些困难,后来解决方法是制定一个标准,旧的能不能提供新价值,如果不能,果断抛弃;如果能,留下。        按这样思路,困难算成功克服,小小收获是当你很贪心地想多留东西时,想想它是不是累赘,想清楚就不累了。 4.      导师在你完成毕设过程中的角色?(可以举一个例子)        我的毕设导师是王林教授,她一直是我毕设中的鼓励者和点拨人。     ...

书房拾遗-第42至45期

  书房拾遗-第42至45期 42期 网络说:持有平安的人,大概率持有万科,而持有平安和万科的人,大概率也持有格力。 后来想通了,这类投资者,内心基本是将“龙头+白马+低市盈率+从股价高点已经大幅调整”这几个条件叠加,然后将其等同于正宗的“价值投资”,所以自然而然地汇总到同一条路上了。 网友:uta:老唐,请问企业价值为什么用现金流折现,而不是用净利润折现? 唐朝:因为净利润不是钱,净利润是账。账不是价值,钱才是价值。 地魔:请问在你的投资体系里,一家公司的ROE低于多少就不值得研究或者投资了? 唐朝:通常低于8%我就不大关注了。 43期 唐朝:银行非常常见的操作。放贷款的同时拉存款,降低了实际贷款额,提高了真实贷款利率。 WDS:没看懂,怎么提高贷款利率? 唐朝 :你获得银行贷款100万,利率5%。但同时要求你存款30万,存款利息2%,你实际贷款多少,成本多少? 唐朝:你一年支付5万利息,收到0.6万利息,实际使用资金70万,所以,你的贷款利率是4.4/70=6.29%。说这个是小学数学,不算夸张吧? 44期 Uta:是不是投资港股市场的股票风险要比A股的股票大? 唐朝:核心在于自己的理念。理念不对,A股港股都是风大浪大;理念对了,港股A股都是闲庭信步。 唐朝:主要是招股书披露的基础知识特别详细,一般我会看看,学习一些行业基础知识。和普通年报一样,没啥特别要注意的地方。 45期 数字货币替代的是现金,微信支付宝可以作为现金支付手段,也可以作为数字货币支付手段。货币的形式和支付的形式,是两码事。 数字货币不是微信支付宝的对手,它是运钞车、ATM机、点钞员、印刷厂……的对手。 Lei:老唐,对于初学者来说的话是先多看财报,还是先多看书籍比较好。谢谢 唐朝:我认为多看财报,不懂的时候查书,是进步最快的方式。 老唐从2017年1月首次介入腾讯至今,只有买入没有卖出,最低买过197.3港币,最高买过607港币,平均买入位置大概在465~470港币之间(就是去年底约480港币的平均买入位置减去所分京东股票价值),目前持有腾讯的市值是八位数,亏损是七位数。 但不装不端,我真没有任何压力。如前所述,真要是爆发核战争,拿股票现金黄金房子都是一码事,没区别;如果没有核战争,等上几年后我几乎100%确定我会是赚钱的,区别无外乎也就是赚几千万还是赚几百万而已。

MongoDB学习笔记

这是我阅读《MongoDB权威指南》的学习笔记,前七章侧重在开发者角度谈MongoDB,后面才是运维管理者角度 一. 理论部分 入门 文档:多个键及其关联的值有序地放置在一起便是文档 集合:一组文档 虽然子集合没有特别的地方,但还是很有用,很多MongoDB工具中都包含子集合 GridFS是一种存储大文件的协议,使用子集合来存储文件的元数据,这样就与内容块分开了 MongoDB的Web控制台通过子集合的方式将数据组织在DBTOP部分 绝大多数驱动程序都提供语法糖,为访问指定集合的子集合提供方便。例如:在数据库shell里面,db.blog代表blog集合,db.blog.posts代表blog.posts集合 在MongoDB中使用子集合来组织数据是很好的方法,在此强烈推荐 数据类型 JSON表现力也有限制,因为只有null,布尔,数字,字符串,数组和对象几种类型, MongoDB保留JSON键值对基础上,增添了其他一些数据类型 使用GridFS存储文件有如下原因: 会直接利用业已建立的复制或分片机制,所以对于文件存储来说故障恢复和扩展都很容易 可以避免用户上传内容的文件系统出现的某些问题 不产生磁盘碎片,因为MongoDB分配数据文件空间以2GB为一块 开发者角度到此为止,下一篇是运维角度的学习

V-Ray DMC采样器原理释疑

各采样器比较 自适应细分是一个几乎所有其他“有偏差的非物理渲染器”(注 1 )都在采用的算法。它是一种相对来说有点老式,但在绝大多数情形下都非常好用的算法。它会算出干净且采样细致的图像结果,在静帧渲染时的表现非常出色,但是与 DMC 采样器相比,自适应细分往往会在一些本可以采样再少一点的地方过多采样
