A little thought on AI

For more hands-on articles, please visit my new home of writing at 👉 vocus . In the evolving landscape of AI and large language models (LLMs), the ability to synthesise diverse pieces of knowledge is becoming increasingly crucial. It's no longer just about the information one accumulates but about grasping the underlying concepts that thread this information together into a cohesive, innovative framework.  A pivotal factor here is an individual's comprehension of 'connector words' or key concepts that bridge various domains of knowledge, facilitating groundbreaking insights and developments. In this scenario, learning skills are becoming more vital than ever before. It heralds an opportune moment to carve out one's niche in the AI-dominated future, a time to decide the role one wishes to play in this unfolding narrative.  Do you aspire to be a visionary, harnessing AI's potential to catapult humanity to uncharted territories, perhaps even fostering space colo

南門路71號

最近一直被催文章,但是常來這個部落格的人應該都知道, 半年一篇新文在這裡一直算是件正常的事, 這樣大家可以多多留言也不錯... 不過我知道大家最想看的是日本的照片, 那個等我懶病過去再來整理,親朋好友就請再等等.. 南門路71號,是一間很有意思的二手書店, 台南的二手書店之多熟門道的人應該都很清楚, 歷史最悠久已經有五十多年; 而這家二手書店最有趣的地方,在我看來就在於空間配置的小趣味。 整個店內空間是由前後兩棟舊房子打通, 前段賣場就像一般書店一樣,兩排書架倚壁而立, 排放整齊的書與暖色系的燈光, 與一般二手書店多且雜以及日光燈的印象有所不同; 收藏鉛打用的鉛字整齊排列, 似乎也與這些成千上萬冊裡的文字,古今對照相輝映著。 再往裡頭走,看到右側一個浴缸,左側是廁所, 所以原本的房子這裡應該就是浴室, 打通牆壁後,經過一個天井,連接到後面的房子。 在後段的賣場裡,從右側走下小階梯到下一層樓, 作為一個不定期的展覽空間。 不過這個空間是沒有天花板的, 挖掉一半的地面,裸露原本的鋼筋,頗有後現代感。 再從左側小樓梯上一層樓,又是一座座的排放整齊的書架, 眼睛往下一看,就是那個展覽空間。 這家店內不能拍照,所以只有在櫥窗外拍了幾張照片, 店名叫什麼,其實我也不太清楚,不過住址是正確的, 就在孔廟對面窄門旁邊而已,很容易就可以找得到。 台南這個地方除了小吃, 最令我著迷的,還是那小巷裡處處可見的老房子新空間啊...
