Design And Modeling for Computer Experiments

From the visionary force behind EA’s most beloved video games, a must-read book on what the billion-dollar secrets of game design can teach us about building products better and making customers happierVideo games are the biggest entertainment industry in the world—for a reason. Games tap into human psychology and drives like nothing else. So how can we recreate the satisfaction we feel playing games in day-to-day life? How can we harness that feeling to grow better businesses?These are the questions Bing Gordon has been trying to answer over his 40 year career in tech. Affectionately known as the godfather of the video game world, his influence and canonized “Gamification Checklist” have shaped the games and companies we engage with every day: EA Sports, Farmville, The Sims, Amazon Prime, Zynga, Spotify, Audible, Twitch, Duolingo, and Cameo, to name a few.Now, in Everybody Wins, Bing dives into each of the eight core elements of his checklist, lessons extracted from a lifetime in game

我們花了這麼多力氣在知識轉譯和教育推廣，為何人們的行為還是沒改變？若知識、勸說與善意並不足以讓人友善環境，能不能換個方向，從改變身邊的技術開始？《設計永續》就從這個轉向開始。如果技術不只是供人使用的工具，也會反過來塑造人的行動，問題很快就不再只是「如何讓人更環保？」作者洪靖以「行為嚮導技術」作為思索技術干預的起點，展開一連串直指根本的追問：技術介入是否侵犯自由？我們所說的自由預設了什麼樣的人？技術會不會本來就是政治的一部分？循著這些追問，本書從環境危機與行為改變出發，一路走向設計方案、人類圖像、民主政治，甚至重新檢視原本用來判斷「技術介入是否正當」的標準。本書藉由穿越技術哲學與STS、行為心理學、環境教育與設計，乃至政治理論的領域界線，將各自的觀點與方法融進一條由問題驅動的論證鏈中，並重新組構彼此的位置和功能。它並非以西方理論解釋東方經驗，也不是讓本土案例回過頭來補充既有理論，更非從東方的位置反省西方。反之，它直接進入西方思想內部，透過內在批判與理論重構，追問現代社會與思想中那些被視為理所當然的基本前提，逐步發展出一套新的思考框架與實作路徑，為重新安排人類與技術如何共同生活打開更多可能。

Will artificial intelligence usher in a new age of prosperity, or are we sowing the seeds of our own destruction? Some scientists have long feared that AI will lead to human extinction, as ever more ruthless and capable machines elbow us aside. In certain circles it has even become fashionable to stockpile supplies in underground bunkers to prepare for a dystopian future. Optimists argue that AI will be a terrific boon, not least to science and medicine. For instance, MIT researchers have used a deep learning model to identify a chemical compound to treat E. Coli infections. And the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to the developers of Google DeepMind for mapping proteins far quicker than previously possible. Toby Walsh has worked in AI since before most people had a computer. In God AI, he guides us with humour and humanity through the claims and the counter-claims – and helps us make up our own minds about one of the biggest issues of our time.
