中文名是游戏改变世界。
由于上几篇blog都是用AI改写的，所以看起来有点优秀了。
事实上我要讲的内容也就两三行。
这本书列举了一些优秀的游戏如何协助个人、团队、社会自我完善或者是过得更好，又或者是如何把离散的点整合起来，完成一个真实或者虚拟的成就。
人生短短数十年，目前科技学术的发展，已经不允许年轻人太早就得到足够高的成就，比如35岁的杨振宁，31岁的李政道得到诺贝尔物理奖，现在没有这首歌，但年轻人可以创造一些虚拟的高峰去攀登，人生的意义得以拓宽，而并非单一的世俗意义。
而社会的组织方式也因为网络和游戏化得到拓宽，政府在虚拟世界中也许并不需要干预，但虚拟世界同样可以反馈现实。
这本书写得早，那时候“元宇宙”还没有火起来，元宇宙的热度这两年又下去了，单纯只有技术而没有内容以及激发游戏的机制，还是很难长存。如果变成资本的游戏就更无聊了。
看到《海贼王》中“顶上战争”一段，白胡子麾下不仅有本团船员，还统领着43个旗下海贼团，声势浩大，足以与海军本部正面抗衡。那种千军万马的阵仗，确实堪称一方“海上军阀”。
但有意思的是，尾田的叙事逻辑始终在强调另一种模式——精英化团队。无论是路飞的草帽团，还是黑胡子新成立的核心团队，走的都不是规模路线，而是以少胜多、以质取胜。
路飞一行人人数虽少，却个个都能独当一面，整体机动性极高，更像是一支自由来去的“海上游侠”。而白胡子团虽然强大，却也因为规模庞大、结构复杂，在调度与应变上显得笨重，甚至容易被内部牵制。
这背后其实映射出一个现实逻辑：在新世界那样变幻莫测的舞台上，组织度太高、规模过大的团队反而容易失去灵活性与突破力。小而精的团队更容易抓住机会、快速反应，也更适合在未知领域中开拓。
这种思路也很适合用来思考今天的AI技术与创业团队。AI本身是高度依赖创新与技术突破的领域，盲目堆人力、追求大而全的组织架构，反而可能削弱创造力、拖慢反应速度。与其建立一个面面俱到、体制臃肿的“技术军阀”，不如打造一支敏捷、专注、能力互补的精英小队——能够快速试错、敢于聚焦关键问题，也更容易在不确定的环境中杀出重围。
规模带来稳定，但也可能成为包袱。而在一个高速变化的领域里，“游侠”往往比“军阀”走得更远。
在变革时代重读德鲁克：创新、认知与未来判断力
看完了《德鲁克全书》中文版，这本书系统梳理了彼得·德鲁克在管理学领域的核心思想，并将其分散于多部著作中的理念整合成一套完整、清晰的知识体系。尤为可贵的是，书中为每一个管理观点都配以中国及全球过去几十年的真实商业案例，使理论不再抽象，而真正“落地”于现实场景。
然而，面对当下经济下行压力加剧、人工智能迅速接管工作与决策的“双刃剑”时代，我们更需思考：如何真正理解知识的价值？如何持续保持组织与个体的创新能力？又该如何提升对未来的判断力？
德鲁克早已指出：“真正的不确定性不在于变化本身，而在于我们是否具备应对变化的认知框架。” 在AI加速替代重复性劳动的今天，“知识工作者” 的角色愈发重要——他们不是执行指令的机器，而是能提出问题、整合信息、做出判断的“决策主体”。这正呼应了德鲁克所强调的“管理的本质是实践，其验证不在于逻辑，而在于成果”。
本书让我深刻意识到：
1.
创新不是偶然的灵感，而是有目的的系统实践 —— 德鲁克在《创新与企业家精神》中早已阐明，创新可被管理、被规划、被组织化；
2.
目标管理（MBO）的核心是自我驱动，而非上级控制 —— 在远程办公、灵活组织兴起的今天，激发内在动机比下达指标更重要；
3.
管理者的第一责任是“定义正确的问题” —— 在信息过载的时代，判断力比执行力更稀缺，也更关键。
经济下行并不可怕，可怕的是思维的停滞。AI可以处理数据，但无法替代人类的价值判断、战略远见与人文关怀。德鲁克的智慧提醒我们：未来属于那些能持续学习、保持清醒认知、并敢于为不确定性负责的人。
在这个技术狂奔的时代，我们更需要回归管理的本质——激发人的潜能，创造真正的价值，承担社会的责任。 《德鲁克全书》不仅是一本管理读物，更是一盏指引我们穿越不确定性的思想明灯。
After finishing the Chinese edition of The Drucker Compendium, I was struck by how systematically it synthesizes Peter Drucker’s core management philosophies into a coherent and accessible framework. What makes this book especially valuable is its use of real-world case studies—from China and around the globe over the past decades—to illustrate each key concept, transforming abstract theories into tangible, actionable insights.
Yet, in today’s context of economic downturns and the rapid rise of AI reshaping every industry, a deeper question emerges: How do we truly understand knowledge? How can we sustain innovation? And perhaps most importantly, how do we cultivate the judgment needed to navigate an uncertain future?
As Drucker once implied, “The problem is not change itself, but whether we possess the cognitive frameworks to respond to it.” In an era where AI is rapidly taking over routine tasks, the role of the “knowledge worker” becomes more critical than ever—not as a passive executor, but as an active decision-maker capable of asking the right questions, integrating complex information, and exercising judgment. This is precisely what Drucker meant when he said, “Management is practice, and its test is results, not logic.”
This book reminded me of several timeless truths:
1.
Innovation is not random inspiration—it is purposeful, systematic work. As Drucker argued in Innovation and Entrepreneurship, innovation can and should be managed, organized, and led.
2.
The essence of Management by Objectives (MBO) is self-direction, not top-down control. In the age of remote work and agile teams, fostering intrinsic motivation matters more than setting rigid KPIs.
3.
A manager’s first responsibility is to define the right problems. When information overload is the norm, judgment has become rarer—and more valuable—than execution.
An economic slowdown is not the real threat; intellectual stagnation is. AI can process data, but it cannot replace human values, strategic foresight, or moral responsibility. Drucker’s wisdom reminds us: The future belongs to those who can keep learning, maintain clarity of thought, and courageously take responsibility for uncertainty.
In this age of technological acceleration, we must return to the essence of management—to unleash human potential, create real value, and serve society. The Drucker Compendium is more than a management book; it is a beacon of thought to guide us through turbulent times.
Highly recommended for every leader, entrepreneur, and knowledge worker seeking direction in an era of transformation.

In today’s literary landscape saturated with “must-read” lists, it’s difficult to distinguish genuine masterpieces from fleeting trends. Yet, every so often, a work like Rebecca Yarros’s Fourth Wing arrives, sweeping through like a dragon’s breath, impossible to ignore. After immersing myself in the novel and the chorus of fervent reader reactions, I must concede that the hype is real—this is a raw, romantic, and fiercely powerful reading experience whose pull feels nearly as irresistible as dragon magic.
The core of Fourth Wing is built on a deliciously enticing yet brutal premise: Basgiath War College. Here, survival is the curriculum, and death is a common form of dropout. We enter this world through Violet Sorrengail, a protagonist destined for the quiet life of a scholar-scribe, who is instead thrust into this lethal arena by the command of her mother, the formidable General. Yarros’s world-building is both skillful and efficient; she doesn’t drown the reader in exposition but lets the harsh rules, pervasive danger, and rigid hierarchy of Basgiath seep in, quickly pulling you into a breathing, perilous universe.
Violet herself is the story’s brightest spark. She is not a traditionally physically powerful heroine; her weapons are intellect, resilience, and near-stubborn perseverance. Watching her be consistently underestimated and outmaneuver challenges through wit, forging her own kind of strength in the crucible of adversity, is both heartbreaking and inspiring. Her growth arc feels earned because she is not flawless; her vulnerability is as crucial as her toughness. The circle of friends around her are not mere props; they are distinct and form a loyal, engaging support system, and the losses within it sting with genuine impact.
Of course, in terms of sheer allure, few can rival the “shadow daddy,” Xaden Riorson. This wingleader, burdened by a legacy of revenge and a blood feud with Violet’s family, is the engine of the enemies-to-lovers dynamic. Their relationship crackles with electric banter, undeniable sexual tension, and a slow-burning respect. While some readers might find the initial shift in their dynamic a touch swift, there’s no denying the potent entertainment value of their chemistry, and as layers are peeled back, Xaden is revealed to be far more complex than his brooding exterior suggests.
What truly elevates Fourth Wing, however, are the dragons. These magnificent creatures are far more than mere mounts; they are powerful beings with their own wills, intelligence, and ancient secrets. From the formidable Tairn to the unique Andarna, each dragon is a fully realized character, and the psychic bond they share with their riders is some of the most compelling magic in the story. The scene of Violet’s bonding during the “Threshing” is one of the book’s most brilliantly executed, heart-pounding sequences, showcasing Yarros’s command of high-stakes action and emotional payoff.
To be sure, the book is not without minor imperfections. Some readers, and I found this myself in certain early passages, may feel that some of the dialogue, particularly the sexual innuendo, can occasionally feel a bit clunky or “cringey.” Violet’s initial pining for Xaden can also veer towards the overly persistent. Yet, the remarkable thing is that even with these quibbles, the overall entertainment value and relentless pace of Fourth Wing make them easy to overlook. Yarros’s narrative is like a runaway train, charging at full throttle from the first page, especially in the final hundred pages where secrets erupt, plots twist, and battles rage, culminating in a cliffhanger ending guaranteed to send any reader scrambling for the sequel, Iron Flame.
In conclusion, Fourth Wing is a expertly blended fantasy cocktail: it mixes a deadly war college, complex political intrigue, a gripping enemies-to-lovers romance, and—most importantly—breathtakingly cool dragon companions. It may not be flawless, but its majestic imagination, compelling characters, and addictive narrative momentum cement its status as one of the most talked-about and downright entertaining “romantasy” offerings in recent years. If you’re looking for a world to get lost in, one that will keep you reading late into the night, the gates of Basgiath War College are open—just be warned, you might need a moment to recover from this literary storm.

I came across a topic today discussing whether there is still promising business space in domestic informatization. Here’s a summarized response:
Government finances are not in good shape, so it’s not worth participating in government projects.
Energy and agriculture-related projects are national priorities and worth engaging in.
The domestic substitution of operating systems and applications, as well as hardware security, are promising areas to focus on.
My BlueHost site services for the China region are set to shutdown in a month, so I had to find a new home for this WordPress blog. DeepSeek had previously recommended A2 Hosting to me, so I registered an account on Sunday and paid a $1 trial fee for the first month. However, the service wasn’t activated until Tuesday. The product I chose was WordPress Hosting.
There were several drawbacks: I set up an FTP account but couldn’t connect, and the web-based file manager wasn’t practical for uploading. So, I tried a WordPress migration plugin, hoping to upload everything purely through the web interface. The file was too large, and I had to modify PHP upload limits. After finally getting the upload completed, I moved on to domain pointing—only to find that the interface offered little support aside from transferring the domain. And there is no entry for SSL cert setting. The process was too cumbersome.
Frustrated, I switched to Hostinger. I paid for a yearly plan, and the account was activated immediately. I uploaded the code and SQL backups step by step, reset the SSL certificate, and pointed the domain. The entire process took less than 30 minutes. It seems that those $1 trial services really aren’t worth it.
Although I feel this might compromise the original intent of this post, I’ll still include a referral link—after all, I’ve been extremely impressed with Hostinger. https://hostinger.com?REFERRALCODE=9CPZHENGRSRH
I also promptly cancelled the A2 hosting service subscription to avoid any unnecessary charges next month.
Deepseek的回答：
这是一个非常经典且重要的问题。对于规模超千人（这通常意味着年收入在数亿到数十亿级别）的公司来说，CTO（首席技术官）不再是“一个可选的高级技术领导”，而是公司战略层不可或缺的核心角色。可以说，是“必须的”。
但这并不意味着每一个千人大公司都用一个模子刻出来的CTO。这个角色的具体职责和侧重点会根据公司的业务性质（是技术驱动型还是业务驱动型）和发展阶段而截然不同。
下面我们从几个层面来深入分析：
当公司规模达到千人时，技术层面会面临一系列质的变化，这些是技术经理或副总裁难以全面应对的：
并非所有CTO都写代码或做架构。在千人大公司里，CTO角色通常演化为以下几种类型，有时由一人承担，有时可能由不同角色分担：
| 角色类型 | 核心职责 | 典型公司 |
|---|---|---|
| 战略型CTO | 关注技术愿景、未来3-5年的技术趋势、技术并购、与商业战略的匹配。更多时间在董事会、客户和市场上。 | 大型科技公司（Google, Microsoft）、传统企业数字化转型的领导者 |
| 工程型CTO | 关注技术执行、研发效率、产品交付、团队 scaling、工程师文化。是技术团队的“大家长”。 | 产品驱动型公司（许多互联网大厂、SaaS公司） |
| 产品型CTO | 介于CPO和CTO之间，深度参与产品规划，确保技术方案能完美实现产品愿景和用户体验。 | 用户体验至上的公司 |
| 基础设施型CTO | 关注技术平台、基础架构、中台建设、稳定性、安全和 scalability。为所有业务线提供稳固的技术“底盘”。 | 拥有复杂技术栈的大型公司（如电商、金融科技） |
如果千人大公司没有设置CTO或等效角色，可能会面临以下风险：
在某些特定情况下，公司可能会尝试一些替代方案，但它们通常有局限性：
对于规模超千人的公司，设立专职的CTO是必要且关键的。
这个角色的核心价值在于：
公司应该做的不是思考“要不要CTO”，而是如何根据自身当前的业务痛点和发展阶段，找到或培养一位最适合自己类型的CTO。
在演讲中，Doug McMillon 透露了人工智能超级代理的名称和功能：
Sparky 是专注于消费者的超级客服。这款智能助手现已上线沃尔玛移动应用程序，位于界面底部，旨在成为产品发现、搜索、购买、订单跟踪和退货的工具。
“Sparky 是我们应用程序底部面向客户的微笑助手。如今的 Sparky 将我们从传统搜索带向智能 AI 助手，”董明伦解释道。
Sparky 不仅能响应指令，还将逐步融入更复杂的代理功能，让用户以更自然、更高效的方式与沃尔玛互动。它的目标是：成为数字购物体验中不可或缺的一部分。
第二位超级客服人员将成为沃尔玛员工（包括门店、配送中心和办公室员工）的综合工具。该助理将整合排班、访问销售指标、培训和内部沟通等功能。
这种方法与公司的首要任务之一——员工体验——相契合。通过人工智能赋能员工，沃尔玛不仅提高了效率，还改善了工作条件，减少了运营摩擦。
该代理将服务于沃尔玛的商业生态系统，提供订单管理、广告活动、产品上线、绩效分析以及与市场的直接沟通等工具。
沃尔玛的广告和会员收入持续增长，而这位超级代理旨在巩固这一趋势。通过该系统，供应商和商业合作伙伴将更高效地运营，并基于数据和智能自动化做出决策。
第四个超级代理旨在加速公司内部的创新。它是一款面向程序员的人工智能，旨在促进新内部产品、服务和工具的创建、测试和发布。
这一技术层面是沃尔玛在与电商和软件巨头竞争中保持竞争力的关键。自动化开发流程并提供统一平台的访问权限，将使公司能够更快、更经济地进行迭代。
部署这些超级代理并非孤例。沃尔玛多年来一直在投资强大的技术平台，如今更设立了一个专门的职位，以加速公司层面人工智能的采用。
董明伦表示：“我们已经好几年没有对向首席执行官汇报的职位进行结构性调整了，这次我们这样做是因为我们明确了要加速发展的道路。”
曾任 Instacart 和 Uber 高管的 Daniel Danker 被任命为 AI 加速主管，领导此次转型。此外，公司还在首席技术官 Suresh Kumar 领导下设立了一个新职位，专门负责 AI 平台。
该战略还包括开发数字孪生（设施的数字复制品）以及能够预测物流问题或提高配送时间准确性的智能系统。沃尔玛预计到年底将为95%的美国家庭提供动态配送服务。
沃尔玛的战略不仅限于内部效率，其愿景旨在重新定义未来零售业的购物和运营体验。
借助超级代理，沃尔玛正迈向更智能、更灵活、以用户为中心的全渠道模式。零售不再仅仅关乎价格和库存，而是关乎个性化、速度和可靠性。
从仓库自动化到实时了解消费者的背景，人工智能将使沃尔玛不仅能够与其他零售商竞争，还能与亚马逊和阿里巴巴等科技平台竞争。
尽管超级代理的财务影响尚未完全显现，但沃尔玛预计其将带来切实的收益。首席财务官约翰·戴维·雷尼表示：“我们50%的增量利润（不包括非经常性成本）来自广告、会员和市场等业务。”
这表明科技投资已对盈利能力产生积极影响。随着Sparky和其他智能体的推出，生产力预计将提升，新的收入来源也将涌现。
沃尔玛也认识到，人工智能并非替代，而是一种力量倍增器：“最让我兴奋的是沃尔玛的速度越来越快。我们的客户对我们的配送速度做出了积极的反应。”沃尔玛美国首席执行官约翰·弗纳 (John Furner) 表示。
主要的挑战在于确保这些技术对于从消费者到店员等各级用户来说都易于访问且直观易用。界面必须可靠且易于使用。
该公司还需要解决数据隐私、算法偏见和任务自动化等道德问题。不过，沃尔玛对其长期以来赢得客户信赖的声誉充满信心。
“信任也是一种竞争优势。多年来，我们一直以低价为客户提供服务，这建立了持久的关系，这种关系也延伸到了人工智能领域。”沃尔玛国际首席执行官凯瑟琳·麦克莱说道。
看这个方向也有十年了，不妨总结一下。当然了，零售场景也不应该只是店内，结合安全、忠诚度管理、更好的顾客体验，理应将范围扩展到店外，包括停车场、店门口、马路边等。
零售业是计算机视觉技术应用最活跃的领域之一，它能显著提升效率、优化体验、增强安全并驱动商业决策。以下总结了涵盖店外和店内场景的主要应用：
核心目标： 提升运营效率、优化顾客体验、减少损耗、增强安全、驱动精准营销与决策。
计算机视觉正在深刻重塑零售业的每一个环节。从店外的流量引导和安防，到店内的顾客行为洞察、智能货架管理、高效自助结账、精细化运营和主动安防，它提供了前所未有的数据维度和自动化能力。随着技术的不断成熟和成本的降低，CV应用将更加普及和深入，成为未来智慧零售不可或缺的核心基础设施，持续推动零售业向更智能、高效、个性化和安全的方向发展。
