Equal parts Sapiens, Behave, and Superintelligence, but wholly original in scope, A Brief History of Intelligence offers a paradigm shift for how we understand neuroscience and AI. Artificial intelligence entrepreneur Max Bennett chronicles the five "breakthroughs" in the evolution of human intelligence and reveals what brains of the past can tell us about the AI of tomorrow. In the last decade, capabilities of artificial intelligence that had long been the realm of science fiction have, for the first time, become our reality. AI is now able to produce original art, identify tumors in pictures, and even steer our cars. And yet, large gaps remain in what modern AI systems can achieve--indeed, human brains still easily perform intellectual feats that we can't replicate in AI systems. How is it possible that AI can beat a grandmaster at chess but can't effectively load a dishwasher? As AI entrepreneur Max Bennett compellingly argues, finding the answer requires diving into the billion-yea

Plug in to the often mind-blowing world of artificial intelligence.How can a machine write a story? Are computers now cleverer than people? Could a robot do your shopping?

Hong Kong and Macau have both been Special Administrative Regions of China since 1999. To this day, however, the two SARs and mainland China have yet to form a cohesive agreement for extradition. Yanhong Yin proposes a theoretical model—the China Arrest Warrant—that fulfils three essential criteria: compliance with the framework of “One Country, Two Systems,” allowance for differences within the three divergent legal systems, and sufficient human rights protection.This model takes direct inspiration from the European Arrest Warrant, which is undergirded by the principle of mutual recognition—the idea that while states may make different decisions on a wide range of matters, results will be accepted as equivalent to decisions made by one’s own state. The success of the European Union’s adoption of mutual recognition across political, economic, and legal situations is instrumental in providing a blueprint for judicial cooperation among mainland China, Hong Kong SAR, and Macau SAR.

FOREWORDAt the beginning of 2024, I was invited to contribute to a project focused on women who engage in futures thinking and foresight. As a cornerstone of the project, a seminarwas planned to celebrateInternational Women’s Day. In preparation for the event, a vibrant exchange unfolded in a WhatsApp group. Participants, including myself, posed questions, suggested sessions, and explored shared concerns and interests. The following were some of the questions raised:• Why do so many people, who agree with the principles of feminism, hesitate to identify themselves as feminists?• What does feminism signify in 2024?• How should we define it?• Can individuals of genders other than women be feminists?• Is feminism still relevant, or is it considered passé?• Does the concept of feminism require rebranding?• Should we discuss feminism in the singular or feminismS in the plural?• Are we now closer to achieving the central feminist vision of an equitable

For over 20 years, Basil Pao followed Michael Palin (and his BBC crew) around the world. He documented their journeys from the North to South Pole and around the Pacific Rim. They retraced the footsteps of Hemingway, traversed deep into the Sahara, and trekked up and down across the Himalayas. They crisscrossed post-Iron Curtain Eastern Europe and surveyed Brazil from the Amazon to Iguazu Falls. Their collaborations resulted in 11 bestselling illustrated books.

[名家名著] 34 軟體設計耦合的平衡之道：建構模組化軟體系統的通用設計原則 Balancing Coupling in Software Design: Universal Design Principles for Architecting Modular Software Systems ♛　Vaughn Vernon Signature Series系列叢書　♛ 理解耦合對軟體設計決策的影響──然後駕馭它！ 如果你想打造模組化、可演進和具備高韌性的軟體系統，就必須設計出正確的耦合關係。你做的每一個設計決策都會影響耦合，而它們會回過頭來影響你將來可用的設計選項。然而，直到這本書出現之前，耦合很少得到應有的重視。 打從軟體工程的開天闢地之初，人們就發現，若要建構模組化軟體系統，正確的耦合管理就是非常重要的一件事。這個主題多年來被廣泛研究過，但有些知識已遭遺忘，有些則難以套用在當今的開發環境。作者根據他自身累積的知識，打造一個通用模型，甚至針對現代軟體工程的慣例來量身調整，替模組化軟體設計帶來令人耳目一新的觀點。 透過清楚說明這些原則與實踐，作者將引導你釐清耦合的多維度特性，並示範如何讓耦合成為強大的設計工具，以有效管理軟體複雜性、提高模組化程度。本書說不定會顛覆你對軟體設計的全面認知！ ❑ 內容亮點 ☑︎定義耦合的概念，以及它在系統設計與系統架構中扮演的角色 ☑︎解釋耦合為何會增加系統複雜性，但亦能促進模組化程度 ☑︎介紹一個整體模型，將耦合變成設計模組化軟體的工具 ☑︎展示如何演進設計決策，來支援軟體系統的持續成長 ☑︎以基於真實使用案例的詳細範例示範書內討論的原則
