  • OpenAI does the same: researches, builds, and sells access to powerful ML models like GPT and DALL-E

  • Coinbase took centre stage on Tuesday as it beat revenue targets - but posted declines in usage. Fourth quarter earnings saw $629 million in revenues vs the projected $590 million with 8.3 million monthly transacting users (MTUs) during the quarter, down from 8.5 million in the prior period. Year on year, the picture is even less rosy, with revenues plunging nearly 75% as the so-called crypto winter continues. As it battles with a frosty market, Coinbase's product priorities have changed with a monetization model shift away from transaction fees and more towards subscriptions and services.

  • Maybe regret is the best definition of risk.

  • A state-machine describes ways of moving between states via actions. For a simple example, think about a button. The button has two states: pressed (on), or not pressed (off). When you take the action of pressing the button, the state changes from off to on (and vice versa).

  • CI/CD is quickly becoming the de-facto standard for how startups ship code, and is even (slowly) making its way into larger companies.
    What's CI/CD? - by Justin - Technically
  • Continuous Integration means integrating and testing your code changes automatically, while Continuous Delivery means you deploy those changes often

  • Cheaper servers and better tooling have changed the equation: now developers can ship frequently and test often

  • cURL` was a great command line tool, but it was a bit intimidating to use and difficult to parse the output. With Postman’s client you can explore, debug, and test API requests for HTTP, REST, SOAP, GraphQL, and even WebSockets. Everything is formatted in a way that is very easy to read and there is built in support for authentication. It’s a much nicer experience than writing cURL requests in the terminal, to say the least

  • Amazon and eBay would create some of the first partner APIs in the early 2000s. In the mid-2000s Twitter and Facebook would release public APIs. But the release of Amazon Web Services (AWS) and the launch of the iPhone are the two catalysts that would really help bring about an API-first world. AWS showed us that web APIs could be used to deploy infrastructure – not just interact with a database – which changed the way companies did business. The iPhone kicked off the “everything is mobile” phase, allowing products like Twilio and Google Maps to emerge with APIs that would become essential for…

  • The oldest widely adopted API protocol is called SOAP, and it was released all the way back in 1998. Today, the most common protocol is REST, released in 2000.

  • The default way of working with APIs is via the terminal in cURL, or client libraries in your favorite programming languages Postman gives developers a nice UI for working with APIs: making requests, authenticating, testing, and even permissions

  • The way to end up with a good plan is not to start with a good plan, it’s to start with some plan, and then slam that plan against reality until reality hands you a better plan.

  • 2010年經濟學家Kahneman和Deaton(兩位都是諾貝爾奬得主)的研究發現,在美國年收入達到七萬五美元之後,人不會再隨著收入增加而感到更快樂。 如果考慮通貨膨脹,2010年的七萬五鎂在今天會是九萬鎂左右($89,522),是美國最低薪資的3.1倍。 拿台幣158元最低時薪以同樣倍率估算,台灣人大概在達到月薪台幣八萬元(78,580 NTD)左右後,快樂程度就不會隨著薪資上漲而上升

  • The price endpoint might be in front of some giant machine learning model, while the match endpoint could be a simple algorithm or some if statements. The closest drivers endpoint might just be reading basic data from a database.
    What are microservices? - by Justin - Technically
  • In a microservices based architecture, services are separated into smaller units that run independently Microservices help you scale more effectively and avoid downtime, but come with steep complexity costs

  • Microservices (all hype aside) are a way of building your application as a series of small, interacting services instead of one giant bundle of code.

  • 從驚嚇中不斷學習的投資人,恐怕是在無意義的浪費自己的時間與金融資產。 不要用愚蠢的方式去學習,還自以為用功。 可以事先知道,何必錯了才知道。

  • 不要被嚇到,不需要從驚嚇中學習。多看投資經典書籍,瞭解金融歷史,執行一個高耐受度,可以讓你度過各種波動與挑戰的投資組合。才是真正做好功課的投資人。

  • 這在醫學上會有問題,醫療實務上早就有明白指示與對應方針,你還選錯的路去走,這叫不當治療(Malpractice)。
    Facebook
  • 第一,這種學習是否是有意義的? 很多人自動認為自己有從市場事件與個人投資經驗中學到東西,所以這些過程是有意義的。 真的嗎? 假如這些事情,前人的經驗,經典投資書籍早就有提到了呢?

  • 大多人會希望自己不要遇到一個都不看書,只會從實戰學習的醫師。 然後自己投資的時候,就是一個只從實戰學習,都不看書的人。

  • 譬如,想買高股息股票,就靠公司的股息過退休生活。結果發現某一年,公司宣布停止配息。 譬如,將大量個人資產放在單一公司股票上面,說自己在”存股”。結果買到下一家安隆,或是股價長期下滑的公司。 事先跟這些人講說,靠單一公司股息過生活或是大量個人資產壓在一家公司上面,都是高風險投資行為。 他們很難聽的下去。他們通常會認為說,歷史上這些公司就是有穩定配息,我有研究,這公司不會倒,所以這些方法都是沒問題的。

  • 原始例子,從25歲累積到60歲,是3030萬。 2157萬,少了近900萬的資產價值。 你以為少掉的五年,就是開始五年,每年24萬的投入,總共損失一百多萬嗎? 不,少五年的資產成長時間,等同去掉資產最後的成長階段,就是一點點報酬就能創造大額成長的時段。
    Facebook
  • 這整個過程,假如少了五年的累積,譬如從25歲開始,一個人一開始走錯路,花了五年”繳學費”。到30歲才腳踏實地的累積資產,那麼到60歲,總價值會是2157萬。

  • 50歲年底資產價值,1505萬,60歲結束,是3030萬。也就是說最後三千萬的資產價值中,有1500萬,近一半來自最後十年。 也就是說,要靠投資來累積資產,其主要效果要到後半場才會發生。

  • Outside of making products, I spend most of my time talking to users. The purpose of these conversations is to find out three things: What problem is the user trying to solve with our product? Is the user our target audience? Where did this user find our product?

  • A very common mistake for a first-time founder is to wait until all the features are in place before launching it. But in fact, it's much leaner to launch with just one or two features, acquire users, and iterate over and over again based on feedback. This is easier said than done, so I have a whiteboard where I compile strategies and methods for building a minimum viable product.

  • I would make a blue "question card" for each question and then write my thoughts around the card. When my answers took shape, I will merge them into the question cards and changed the color to green.

  • 雖然你可以自己去買所有的零件來組成一輛汽車,但這樣成本很高也很花時間,你也不一定有知識和工具來做到。不過你可以去買一輛現成的汽車(SDK)來改裝部分零件(API),使得這輛汽車更符合你的需求,這樣實現起來更加簡單也更符合現實。
    SDK和API的區別? - HackMD
  • 你就把SDK想成是一部汽車,大多數人只要學習如何開車,不一定要學習如何改車與修車。而API就是汽車的零件,汽車製造商所需要的全部零件不可能都是自己做的,會有很多外購的零件,例如油壓系統是向日本採購的、電控系統是向德國採購的、輪胎是向美國買的…等等。
    SDK和API的區別? - HackMD
  • 相比於API,SDK的整合性一般都比較高,而且大多都具有GUI介面,目的通常是讓比較沒有程式基礎的大眾都能更簡易的開發出某些東西。除了前面舉的例子,例如專門做建築與空間規劃的SketchUP軟體、做3D建模與動畫的Blender、3DS MAX、Maya … 等、做影像處理的Photoshop、做影片剪輯的Premiere Pro … 都屬於廣義的SDK的範疇,例子實在是太多了。而SDK一樣也分成免費與收費,像前述遊戲公司提供的地圖編輯器通常和遊戲本體一起被安裝,玩家可自由免費創作;而像一般商用軟體,通常都是收費的,而且也有非常貴的SDK,例如工業用的製圖軟體Solidworks、UG NX …
    SDK和API的區別? - HackMD
  • 其實我們常用的微軟Office系列的Word、Excel、Power point廣義來說都屬於SDK,因為有了這些軟體,我們才可以不必懂程式設計,只要用滑鼠點選和打字,就可以做出一篇圖文並茂的文章、試算表或投影片
