Wisdom I Pondered This Week

• “Anyone who thinks sitting in church can make you a Christian must also think that sitting in a garage can make you a car.” — Garrison Keillor
• “The broken door lets in the light. The broken heart lets in the world.” — Mark Nepo
• “Personally I’m always ready to learn, although I do not always like being taught.” — Winston Churchill
• “It ain’t where you start in life, it’s where you end up, and what you did along the way.” — Colin Powell
• “The real goal in climbing Everest is not to reach the summit. It is, understandably, the focus of enormous attention, but the ultimate goal, in the broadest, most realistic sense, is to return safely to the base of the mountain.” ― Annie Duke, Quit: The Power of Knowing When to Walk Away

Things I Learned This Week

• B 型企業（B Corp）是一種通過認證的營利企業，由美國的非營利組織 B Lab（B 型實驗室）推動，目標是讓企業能透過商業活動產生正面影響力。B 型企業認證評估企業在公司治理、員工照顧、環境友善、社區經營和客戶影響力五大面向的表現，強調企業不僅追求利潤，更要為所有利害關係人創造共享的價值。其核心理念是「成為對世界最好的企業」，而非「成為世界最好的企業」。
• Accelerated Computing augments General-purpose computing (GPC) by offloading specialized, compute-intensive tasks to hardware accelerators such as GPUs, TPUs, FPGAs, or ASICs, which deliver far greater efficiency and speed for parallelizable workloads like AI, simulations, and data analytics. While CPUs excel in versatility and handling sequential control tasks, they are less efficient for large-scale parallel processing, making accelerators the ideal complement.
• 「RGB」一般稱為「色光三原色」，包含「R（red，紅）」、「G（green，綠）」與「B（blue，藍）」，每個色階介於 0–255。因 RGB 是色光模式，顏色疊加越多越亮，稱為「加色法」，當三色皆為 255 時呈白色，皆為 0 時呈黑色。
• 「CMYK」一般俗稱「印刷四色」，包含「C（Cyan，青色）」、「M（Magenta，洋紅色）」、「Y（Yellow，黃色）」與「K（Black，黑色）」，由色料構成，常用於印刷與大圖輸出。CMYK 色階為 0–100，疊加越多顏色越深，稱「減色法」，與水彩混色原理相同，與 RGB 模式互補，例如 M+Y 為紅色，C+Y 為綠色，C+M 為藍色。
• 「地震避難包（Bug Out Bag）」是地震應急必備物資包。遇地震時應遵循「就地避難」原則，即「趴下（Drop）」、「掩護（Cover）」、「穩住（Hold on）」，簡稱 DCH。
