ChatGPT 熱潮之後, 就是語言模型開發應用的時代, 如何將語言模型融入各式各樣的應用當中, 就是開發者接下來面臨的挑戰。利用語言模型理解文意與能言善道的超強特性, 迎來『自然語言就是程式語言』的新世代, 終端用戶使用自然語言讓語言模型自主理解規劃邏輯流程, 我們的程式做為語言模型與外界的橋樑, 串接成完整的應用。本書將帶你：□ 【詳解 OpenAI API 個別參數】：想要善用語言模型, 就必須瞭解 API 的個別參數, temperature 到底什麼意思？怎樣可以讓語言模型生成內容避開不想要出現的字詞？怎樣可以讓語言模型選用偏好的字詞？為什麼生出內容有怪怪的東西？這些都可以透過 API 的參數控制, 如果不瞭解參數, 就只能任由語言模型恣意亂為了。□ 【仿照 ChatGPT 設計會記憶的聊天機器人】：使用 ChatGPT 太習慣, 就會誤以為語言模型會幫你記錄一切, 沒考慮這一點, 利用 API 寫出來的程式就會變成金魚腦, 剛剛對答過的內容通通不記得。本書設計一個簡單的記憶架構, 可以像是 ChatGPT 一樣記錄對話, 即使程式結束重新啟動還是可以記得住。□ 【利用 function calling 機制建置外掛系統】：OpenAI 語言模型受限於 2021 年 9 月的時空限制, 而且不能連網, 所以新資訊通通不知道, 也沒有辦法與外界介接。透過最新的 function calling 機制, 我們可以撰寫各式各樣的函式作為延伸語言模型能力的小工具, 讓語言模型自主判斷要使用哪些函式來達成任務, 等於是幫語言模型建立了外掛系統, 不管是搜尋網路、介接其他 API 或是服務, 通通都可以辦到, 就算是今天才發生的事也能暢所欲言。□ 【設計串流輸出的 AI 聊天架構】：使用 ChatGPT 可以看到非常流暢地逐漸顯示生成的內容, 但是你寫的應用程式卻要等語言模型完整生出內容才能秀出來？本書會教你如何設計出類似 ChatGPT 的效果, 再也不用痴痴等完整結果, 呼叫 API 之後就會開始看到片段生成內容, 給使用者最即時的體驗。□ 【整合 LINE/Discord bot】：實踐多年來大家夢想的 CUI(Conversation User Interface), 以自然語言控制系統。本書會帶大家整合 OpenAI API 與 LINE/Dicord bo

區塊鏈上，日數據、分鐘數據比比皆是，數據種類也比傳統資產多元化。使用Python API 取得大規模數據，就可以真正做到計量基本分析（quantamental analysis）。錢琛為私募基金計量工程師，前作《以Python取勝―計量交易快速上手》一開售即登上暢銷榜。其實，作者自數年前已進軍加密貨幣和非同質化代幣（NFT）投資，以Python應用計量基本分析，其個人投資組合的年回報達50%。作者認為，投資比特幣、以太幣等加密貨幣，可以善用鏈上數據，發展多元化策略。本書會分享選幣及交易策略的Python程式碼，包括使用第三方API下載多款加密貨幣的價格和成交量等歷史數據，再以視像化（visualisation）圖表方式快測策略的可行性，最後做完整回測，評核策略表現。至於NFT市場，作者建議以風險投資式的基本策略分析新上市的項目，他也會透露如何利用此方法在1個月獲利10倍；至於發展歷史較長的NFT項目，就可以透過Python 挖掘歷史數據及分析出最佳參數。「學一個策略，你只得一個策略。學一套方法，你就有好多個策略。」希望讀者懂得構建投資策略，以自己的能力在風高浪急的數碼資產市場中取勝！

Jemisin (John Green, New York Times).

故事，讓人感動的同時，也學到人生的道理！【作者的話】官以甯 從小我就愛看繪本，我發現「故事」可以讓人在感動的同時學到各種人生的道理。除了當個讀者，我也想嘗試透過繪本與讀者溝通，分享自己的想法和領悟，並且用故事描寫大家在生活中遇到的困難，讓我們跟著主角一起學習與成長。 在本書中，我想傳達兩個想法——首先，真正展現我們人品的，更大程度是來自我們的選擇，遠多於我們的能力（It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.）；再者，不管他人怎麼看你，都不要停止做正確的事（Don't stop doing the right thing no matter how others think of you.）。 就像書中主角狐狸小橘面臨的處境，儘管牠善良又喜歡幫助別人，但不管牠做了多少好事，大家依然不相信，認為「狐狸都是壞蛋，所以小橘一定也是壞蛋」。 讓我們一起想想：小橘應該堅持善良的本性嗎？或是乾脆順著大家的成見，當個壞蛋算了？看完繪本，相信大家終於學會了：要用一個人的行為來判斷他的好壞，而不是看外表。而小橘也明白了：要堅持做對的事，因為決定我們未來的，是我們做的「選擇」。【爸爸的話】官振魁那個餵故事書長大的孩子…… 以甯是個用故事養大的孩子。受到汪培珽老師「餵故事書長大的孩子」啟發，當年還是新手爸媽的我們，從月子中心剛回家，就開始每天唸繪本給孩子聽，中英文繪本都唸。 爸爸的床前故事是每晚的重要儀式，上了小學演變成「DADA阿姨説故事」加爸爸唸《西遊記》。等到《西遊記》裡的妖精不再驚奇，「把拔，你自己編一個妖怪」——我們家的私房西遊記於焉登場，每晚準時上演。 即使出差國外網路訊號不好，向客戶告罪一聲後，我們有請孫大聖在越洋電話中克服難關，讓寶貝女兒可以安然入睡——雖然被安慰更多的，是説故事的爸爸。幾年下來，唐三藏師徒額外收服了超過一千位妖怪，「西天」成為遙不可及的夢想，而「故事」也成為我們家的重要夥伴。 一如預期的，孩子飛快地長大了；有點出乎意料的，這個用故事養大的孩子，現在想把自己創作的故事分享給其他的孩子。 這次，那一千個妖怪跟我們夫妻，拉張板凳坐下，一起靜靜欣賞……

Love is a sacrifice at the altar of power.In the wake of the Kejari, everything Oraya once thought to be true has been destroyed. A prisoner in her own kingdom, grieving the only family she ever had, and reeling from a gutting betrayal, she no longer even knows the truth of her own blood. She's left only with one certainty: she cannot trust anyone, least of all Raihn.The House of Night, too, is surrounded by enemies.

And the House of Blood digs their claws into the kingdom, threatening to tear it apart from the inside.When Raihn offers Oraya a secret alliance, taking the deal is her only chance at reclaiming her kingdom-and gaining her vengeance against the lover who betrayed her. But to do so, she'll need to harness a devastating ancient power, intertwined with her father's greatest secrets.But with enemies closing in on all sides, nothing is as it seems. As she unravels her past and fa

《更大的訊息：與大衛．霍克尼跨世紀的藝術對話》原裝精印．全球首發最新中文版火花四射、妙趣橫生，歷時15年（1999~2014），淺白幽默卻處處啟發人心的藝界對話錄。本書是2016年全球最新修訂版，國際畫壇最具影響力、引領近半世紀風潮的現代藝術大師霍克尼與英國藝評家蓋福特熱情開講，同時收錄霍克尼從學生時代至今重要作品，對應跨世紀視覺文化演變，展現與時俱進的動人創作軌跡。「畫圖能讓人看清楚的看見事物，並且不斷深入。圖像化作情感穿過身體，進入大腦，留在記憶裡，再由雙手進行傳播。藝術家都是工人，無時無刻不在工作，而剩下來的一點點時間，也只是剛好睡覺而已。」──David Hockney ．超過180張全彩作品集結。 ．橫跨15年的精采談藝錄。 ．英國藝術教父David Hockney唯一一本對談式著作。 ．收錄近至2014年的最新畫作。大衛．霍克尼（David Hockney）是英國史上繼盧西安．弗洛伊德（Lucian Freud, 1922~2011）之後，第二位被英國女王頒發功績勳章的藝術家。世人稱之為「最受歡迎的在世畫家」（The World’s Most popular living painter）。其作品風格綺麗，廣受愛戴。然而，不僅如此，他也是一位言語犀利、對藝術充滿獨到見解的思想家。本書記錄了霍克尼與知名藝評家馬丁．蓋福特（Martin Gayford）長達十五年的對談，從這些生動的訪談之中，霍克尼以特有的熱情、智慧與幽默感，暢談他一生追尋的繪畫意義。世界如何透過藝術家之眼，呈現在平面的畫布上，不只是畫家的課題，而是個哲學議題。霍克尼指出，繪畫的本意就是讓人更加、更加清楚地觀看世界。繪畫的媒材──從洞穴壁畫到iPad，是否讓人類的觀看改變？人類所製造出來的各種圖像，如何與真實世界連繫？科技和文明是否一再撼動藝術家的創作方式？我們能否再次學會如何單純享受「觀看」之樂，徹底欣賞一張臉龐、一次日出，或是一棵樹？在這本妙趣橫生的書中，藝術大師們如梵谷、卡拉瓦喬、維梅爾、莫內、畢卡索，都是作者與霍克尼的絕佳話題，他們睿智風趣的談話也觸及霍克尼的私人生活，與對家鄉的濃烈情感。與霍克尼來往的同輩藝術家如攝影大師卡蒂爾．布列松，或大製片家比利．懷德，也是他熱愛提及的人物。這本書無疑是霍克尼的一幅自畫像，更是本世紀最有影響力的、關於人類創造力與世界本質的探索之作。【深
