探討如何將電腦科學中的演算法原理應用到日常生活與人類決策中。作者結合心理學、認知科學與計算機科學，說明演算法不僅是電腦解題的工具，更是我們在面對生活難題時可借鑑的思考模型。本書涵蓋多種實用議題，透過演算法的視角來處理生活中的決策與權衡，例如：➤最佳停下時機（Optimal Stopping）：如何判斷在眾多選項中何時停止尋找並做出決定，如招聘或約會。➤探索與利用的平衡（Explore-Exploit Trade-off）：何時探索新機會，何時利用已知資源。➤排序與組織：提升查找效率的策略。➤快取管理：如何在有限記憶空間中有效保留重要資訊。➤工作排程與切換成本：如何管理多任務與優先順序。➤貝氏定理（Bayes's Rule）：結合先驗知識與新資訊做出推論。➤放寬問題限制：在無解或計算困難的情況下，尋求「夠好」的近似解。➤隨機性與資源管理：利用隨機策略在不確定環境下取得良好結果。➤網絡與遊戲理論：理解互動系統與多方利益的決策動態。書中強調，雖然演算法能為複雜問題提供指導，但現實生活中決策仍存在不確定性和失敗風險。重要的是採用合理的策略來面對時間與資源限制，並學習在不完美中作出最佳抉擇。該書還指出，人類在面對計算難題時，常能透過直覺和簡化模型達成驚人的表現。此書獲得廣泛好評，被譽為一本能讓人重新認識「演算法」不僅屬於科技領域，更是生活智慧的指導手冊。A fascinating exploration of how computer algorithms can be applied to our everyday lives.

Doctor Strange, one of Marvel’s most fascinating early characters, began at the hands of co-creators Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, and his ethereal voyages through other dimensions made him an important figure in 1960s culture.From his first appearance in 1963, Strange captivated a wide range of readers. Over his first ten years, a succession of writers and artists—including Roy Thomas, Gene Colan, Gardner F. Fox, P. Craig Russell, Marie Severin, and notably Steve Englehart and Frank Brunner—expanded on Ditko’s original mind-bending concepts.This entry in the MARVEL AGE OF COMICS explores Strange’s changing roles as a mystic, super hero, and leader of a chaotic team called the Defenders, and the rise of his popularity, in parallel with the counterculture of the 1960s.

On the advanced knowledge economy, which perpetuates patterns of discrimination and exclusion, and the threat of climate change devastation for both human and nonhuman entities.Robots designed to care for people and neglected landscapes of digital trash. The promise of synthetic biology and the panic of living on a dying planet. Wonderful feats of intelligence and systemic acts of violence. Exhilaration and exhaustion. Rosi Braidotti argues that we must think about these apparent contradictions all together in order to make differences that actually matter.Posthuman Knowledge and the Critical Posthumanitiesoscillates between evocations and transections of contemporary conditions, for which Braidotti offers what she calls the “posthuman convergence” as a new paradigm for situating and navigating their problems and possibilities. Reflecting on the knotted situation of the academic humanities, cognitive capitalism, and advanced climate change, she delivers an intersectional critique of hu

“The definitive account of how the world’s richest man, in a fit of unbridled vanity and arrogance, took over and destroyed our digital town square.” —John Carreyrou, author of Bad Blood​"Astonishing.

榮獲ANTHEM大獎，入選《金融時報》2024年度最佳好書——《演算法》揭露AI正在悄悄主宰我們的工作與生活。記者Hilke Schellmann深入追蹤演算法如何影響求職、監控員工、甚至預測心理健康。她揭示AI背後的偏見與錯誤，並呼籲人類應奪回對未來的主導權。在這個AI重塑世界的時代，本書是一道警鐘，也是一線希望。ANTHEM AWARD WINNER • NAMED A FINANCIAL TIMES BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024AI is on the brink of dominating our lives, threating our privacy and human future—if we don’t take action now. In The Algorithm, Emmy‑award winning Wall Street Journal and Guardian contributor Hilke Schellmann delivers a shocking and illuminating exposé on one of the most pressing civil rights issues of our time: how AI has quietly, and mostly out of sight, taken over the world of work. Schellmann takes readers on a journalistic detective story, meeting job applicants and employees who have been subjected to these technologies, playing AI-based video games that companies use for hiring, and investigating algorithms that scan our online activity to construct personality profiles— including if we are prone to self -harm. She convinces whistleblowers to share r

From the multiple award-winning creator of Small in the City and the illustrator of I Talk Like a River comes an innovative and moving look at memories, filtered through the mind of a child. Tucked in bed at a new apartment, a boy and his mother trade favorite memories. Some are idyllic, like a picnic with Dad, but others are more surprising: a fall from a bike into soft piled hay, the smell of an old oil lamp when a rainstorm blew the power out.Now it’s just the two of them, and the house where all those memories happened is far away. But maybe someday, this will be a favorite memory, too: happy and sad, an end and a beginning intertwined.In a series of warm and wistful vignettes, as achingly fleeting as childhood memories always become, Sydney Smith takes us into the mind of a young person processing a bevy of complex emotions during a major life change. Do You Remember? is a stirring meditation on holding fast to the best of the past, and choosing to believe in the future.A New York

Two leaders in the field offer a compelling analysis of the current state of the art and reveal the steps we must take to achieve a robust artificial intelligence that can make our lives better.“Finally, a book that tells us what AI is, what AI is not, and what AI could become if only we are ambitious and creative enough.” —Garry Kasparov, former world chess champion and author ofDeep ThinkingDespite the hype surrounding AI, creating an intelligence that rivals or exceeds human levels is far more complicated than we have been led to believe. Professors Gary Marcus and Ernest Davis have spent their careers at the forefront of AI research and have witnessed some of the greatest milestones in the field, but they argue that a computer beating a human in Jeopardy! does not signal that we are on the doorstep of fully autonomous cars or superintelligent machines. The achievements in the field thus far have occurred in closed systems with fixed sets of rules, and these approaches are too narro

The true, behind-the-scenes history of the people who built Silicon Valley and shaped Big Tech in America Long before Margaret O'Mara became one of our most consequential historians of the American-led digital revolution, she worked in the White House of Bill Clinton and Al Gore in the earliest days of the commercial Internet. There she saw firsthand how deeply intertwined Silicon Valley was with the federal government--and always had been--and how shallow the common understanding of the secrets of the Valley's success actually was. Now, after almost five years of pioneering research, O'Mara has produced the definitive history of Silicon Valley for our time, the story of mavericks and visionaries, but also of powerful institutions creating the framework for innovation, from the Pentagon to Stanford University.It is also a story of a community that started off remarkably homogeneous and tight-knit and stayed that way, and whose belief in its own mythology has deepened into a collective

數位化的發展，對環境、社會及企業治理帶來了極大的衝擊，其中，大數據、雲端運算、人工智慧（AI）等新技術正在對會計領域產生重大影響。於此之際，美國會計師（AICPA）考試藍圖內容也跟著部分變更，改變方針強調新技術對會計的影響，未來執業的會計師更需要瞭解企業的業務，包括業務流程、資訊系統、資料流向、財務業務風險和相關的內部控制。另一方面，數據治理（Data Governance）日益重要，善用AI 以協助或增強人類的決策能力，也是未來趨勢。會計教育的挑戰不僅是傳授國際財務報導準則（IFRSs）、審計等專業知識，基礎領域，更包括數位思維（Digital mindset）和數據分析的養成，以及對企業組織中的系統和組織控制機制的瞭解。也就是說，隨著業務流程的自動化，學習會計不再是加強計算，而是更強調理解和應用概念。在數據分析方面，學習會計能夠更有效地使用新技術和新的數據來源，提升工作效率。面對企業將 IT 外包、將資料存儲在雲端，學習會計可以理解會計師如何對財報或內部控制的評估，此外，遠距工作對查核實務的影響，也可以從學習會計一窺堂奧。________________________________________相較於前一版的內容，本版增訂部分僅說明如下：• 配合國際會計準則，修改各章相關文字內容，提升企業會計資訊透明度。• 新增會計思維和數據分析的概念。• 加強「本期綜合損益＝本期損益＋其他綜合損益」之關聯性。• 為讓初次學習者對「綜合損益表」有完整概念，本書前五章，於編製綜合損益表時，除列示本期損益外，並列示「其他綜合損益$0」，以完整呈現綜合損益表之樣態。• 配合國際會計準則之修正，更新「流動資產」與「流動負債」之定義。• 更新IFRS 15「客戶合約之收入」觀念。• 配合IFRS 9、15 修改應收款項與投資。• 新增IAS 37 負債準備及或有負債主題，豐富會計主題。• 更新日常經濟活動與公報相關實例，協助學習者瞭解會計與商業活動的關聯性。• 更新新聞短訊，呈現時下企業實務運作情況。• 新增部分題庫，提供更新學習成果考核依據。
