Things I Learned This Week
- Rückenfigur
— from the German words Rücken (back) and Figur (figure) — refers to a compositional technique where a person is depicted from behind, gazing out toward the scene rather than facing the viewer. This perspective invites the audience to see the world through the figure’s eyes, creating a sense of contemplation, distance, and shared experience between the viewer and the subject. - Urchin Tracking Module (UTM)
parameters are small pieces of text added to the end of a URL that help track where website traffic comes from. They allow marketers to measure the effectiveness of campaigns. The main UTM parameters include utm_source (the origin of traffic, e.g., buttondown), utm_medium (the marketing medium, e.g.,email), utm_campaign (the campaign name, e.g.,weekly-newsletter), utm_term (optional, for paid search keywords), and utm_content (optional, to distinguish between multiple links or ads). By appending these to URLs, analytics tools can accurately attribute traffic and provide insights for data-driven decisions. - 「病毒式行銷（Viral Marketing
）」指透過大眾將訊息廉價複製並傳播給其他受眾，快速擴大影響力，是現代網路與社群行銷常用策略。 - NVLink Fusion
is a new technology introduced by NVIDIA in 2025 that helps companies build powerful AI systems by connecting NVIDIA’s hardware with third-party processors. It enables semi-custom AI infrastructure by allowing companies to design their own ASICs or CPUs (or otherwise custom silicon) and integrate them into NVIDIA’s NVLink interconnect fabric and rack-scale architecture. - 甘酒（Amazake）
是日本傳統的發酵飲品，意為「甜酒」，但多數版本不含酒精。它以米、米麴或酒粕（ㄆㄛˋ）製成，口感濃稠、自然甘甜，被稱為「喝的點滴」。依製法可分為兩類：以米與米麴發酵、不含酒精、富含維生素與酵素的「米麴甘酒」（又稱「甘糀（ㄏㄨㄚ）」），以及以酒粕與糖調製、略帶酒香的「酒粕甘酒」。自古記載於《日本書紀》，江戶時代曾是夏季補身飲品，如今則於新年與冬季祭典常見。因其營養豐富、促進腸道健康與代謝，甘酒成為兼具傳統文化與健康功效的現代日常飲品。
