虽然整体经济前景不行，但出于对个人健康及未来的考虑，一个gap year对我来说还是有好处的。
如果真决定了gap year，那可能就真的不能再把焦虑导入来了，这个世界发展快慢对所有人都是一样的，先享受一下再行动，也许会不一样。
第七个饼
譬如有人，因其飢故食七枚煎餅，食六枚半已便得飽滿，其人恚悔，以手自打而作是言：「我今飽足由此半餅，然前六餅唐自捐棄，設知半餅能充足者，應先食之。」世間之人亦復如是，從本以來常無有樂，然其癡倒橫生樂想。如彼癡人於半番餅生於飽想，世人無知以富貴為樂。夫富貴者，求時甚苦，既獲得已守護亦苦，後還失之憂念復苦，於三時中都無有樂。猶如衣食遮故名樂，於辛苦中橫生樂想，諸佛說言：「三界無安，皆是大苦，凡夫倒惑，橫生樂想。」
这是百喻经中的故事，后来饼被改成包子。
生活、工作中其实不乏类似的故事，比如一个公司做起来，说的是终于有了一个爆款产品，卖得好，成就了公司，不至于倒闭。
然后过去那么多个产品，它们的价值是什么？完全一竿子打死是否合适？
从财务角度看，一家公司只专一做一款好卖的产品就够了，R&D不断尝试新的产品的意义何在？
然而世界始终在发展，一些受人尊重的企业之所以长青，不仅是因为产品和市场做得好，它们同时也对世界和社会产生了积极的贡献，而不是只停留在赚钱的角度。
又一场白事
二叔去世了，我昨天参加了他的丧礼。
并不成功的人生，或者是默默无闻，比较符合农村识一些字的老人的一生。
我的上两辈的离世顺序：外祖母03、祖父05、祖母09、外祖父17，现在轮上上一辈的离世了。
人生就是一轮轮的出现和消失。
转一下关于大模型的风格/技术哲学
花姐姐在AI群里说的：
我的感觉是OpenAI的技术哲学有其独到之处，它的内核是数学 + C++，它认为这两样东西足以描述整个世界。
这里的数学是科学家和工程师用的数学，计算数学和应用数学。
在这方面国内几个模型大概还没摸到边。Google也不行，Gemini的数学是数学竞赛的数学。
基础语言肯定也不是C++，是什么我说不准。
Qwen的基础语言一定是Javascript。
模型的个性就在这里产生。
Deepseek是Python。
Mistral的内核语言是法语文学。
个性过于明显不可能感知不到。
Gemini的数学追求抽象和绝对的精确，但是众所周知，这会丢失信息。
挺有意思的，如果花姐姐的感觉是对的话，基本上也能分析出这些大模型各自持续演进后的天花板所在了。
黄仁勋的演讲
NVidia的方向，在指引着新的AI资本热潮，但同时也制造着更大的焦虑。
比如，与Nokia(双N合作）一起做6G网络的SDN（软件定义网络）,使用AI芯片优化频段的使用。
从另一个角度看，就是利用新的无线网络标准，远程使用AI算力以及异地的能源（算力需要消耗能源）。黄的提法是之前云计算，利用网络把操作系统、数据库去本地化了，现在轮到更深层次和彻底的算力和能源。
对于AI应用，并非生成了数据和应用在那里等着调用，相反，应该是抛弃预先计算，要算时则调用AI模型，从这个角度看，现在vibe coding，可能并不是最终的路径。
线上会维持着AI工厂，根据需要生成应用和内容，而并非提前。这样整个社会的运作无时无刻都依赖着这样的AI工厂。
量子计算机，CUDA-Q，实现AI芯片和量子芯片的高速连接、运算模型，利用AI芯片，对量子芯片的Q-bit不可靠性进行维护，做了一个工程上的保障。
数字孪生，让机器人可以提前在虚拟环境下进行训练，以提供机器人工厂的建设以及安全性。
等等。
Reality is Broken
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。
精英团队与大团队
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。
Re-reading Drucker in Times of Change: Innovation, Cognition, and the Art of Future Judgment
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.
An Unresistable Literary Storm: A Review of Rebecca Yarros’s Fourth Wing
By Mimic J B
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.
Rating: 4.5/5 Stars
