這段改編自 2010 年 3 月 20 日的對話。

留意，這個「軟硬智力」比喻，不可用得太盡，因為，「人腦硬件」和「電腦硬件」，有一個核心的分別。

人腦的軟件是思想。人腦的硬件是一大堆腦細胞，即是「神經元細胞」。人腦可以通過增加和增強神經元細胞之間的聯繫，來提升運作效能。電腦的硬件則不會自我改變。改進電腦硬件的唯一方法是，把它更換掉。

軟硬智力 5.5

這段改編自 2010 年 3 月 20 日的對話。

（安：根據你剛才的比喻，「硬件」代表腦部本身，「軟件」代表腦部中的思想。而你現在講，「韌體」是「軟件」的其中一種。那樣，你想用「韌體」這個概念，來比喻哪一類思想呢？）

「作業系統」代表「思考習慣」和「生活模式」。你試想一想，有什麼思想，比「思考習慣」和「生活模式」更加頑固？

那一類思想，就可以比喻成「韌體」。

如果「作業系統」代表「思考模式」，「韌體」大概可以指「思考傾向」。「思考傾向」可以說是來自於「潛意識」。但是，「潛意識」這個用語在這裡，未必有大意義，因為，我只是把自己腦中思想的未知部分，統稱為「潛意識」罷了。到頭來，「潛意識」是什麼，或者「潛意識」從何以來，仍然是一個未知之數，仍然需要另外的考究。

（安：我又不覺得，那完全是一個未知項。你已經把「潛意識」，解釋成「思考傾向的來源」。那就不算是完全未知。還有，既然你已經把「潛意識」比喻成「韌體」，何不從這個方向追究，「潛意識」如何形成？）

軟硬智力 5.4

這段改編自 2010 年 3 月 20 日的對話。

在電腦中，「firmware」（韌體／固件）是軟件的一種。一般的軟件，無論是「應用程式」，還是「作業系統」，都是儲存在硬碟之內。但是，「韌體」卻是儲存於，個別硬件（hardware）自己的晶片之內，負責該個硬件本身的運作。例如，主機板（motherboard）的韌體，是晶片內的程式，負責主機板和其他硬體（hardware）的銜接和溝通。

又例如，顯示卡晶片內的程式，負責顯示卡本身和其他硬體（主要是中央處理器與顯示屏）的訊息往來。

因為韌體不是儲存於硬碟（hard disk drive）內，更改韌體，比起更改「作業系統」，還要困難得多。你說要「更改韌體」，和你說要「更換硬件」，意思其實差不多，因為「更改韌體」的最快捷方法是，直情把該個硬件換掉。例如，如果你電腦的顯示卡表現不佳，你會聯想到，可能需要安裝一張較強的顯示卡。但是，你大概不會考慮，不如先升級顯示卡內的程式（韌體），看看能否提升效能。

（安：根據你剛才的比喻，「硬件」代表腦部本身，「軟件」代表腦部中的思想。而你現在講，「韌體」是「軟件」的其中一種。那樣，你想用「韌體」這個概念，來比喻哪一類思想呢？）

軟硬智力 5.2

這段改編自 2010 年 3 月 20 日的對話。

硬件缺失，為之「愚蠢」。軟件不足，為之「無知」。二選其一，就可以大大減弱，你「連繫意念」的能力。

人腦的軟件，即是知識才能，不足的話，可以「安裝」。如果你想使用的，是一個「應用程式」，「安裝」就相對簡單容易。例如，你要駕駛車輛的話，只要肯花時間，通常也會學得懂。

但是，如果你想「安裝」一個全新的「作業系統」，就相對複雜困難。最大的難處是，你不會真心願意那樣做。「安裝」全新的「作業系統」，代表你要改變沿用已久的思考習慣、更換視為當然的生活模式。

Constructicons

Posted on by

Devastator

The team’s combined form of Devastator is brutality in its purest form — his sole purpose is to destroy anything and everything that gets in his way. It is ironic that the suitably intelligent Constructicons should sacrifice their thinking ability in their combined form, but simple-mindedness is a common limitation of the assorted other first-generation combining Transformers, because Devastator’s thoughts and actions are limited to what his six components can agree upon at any given time. Consequently, Devastator seems like a being of instinct, lashing out at everything around him before contemplating the consequences, but he is also slow and lumbering and very easy to trip up.

這段改編自 2010 年 3 月 20 日的對話。

（安：如果智力就是「連繫意念」的能力，理論上，一個人只要「連繫到意念」，就可以成為「智者」。那樣，為什麼各人的智力，會那麼參差呢？）

各人「連繫意念」的能力有別。「連繫意念」並不是一個「只要」。它並不是一個人人皆可立刻擁有的能力。

你彷彿正在問我，為何兩部電腦的性能功用，會有所不同。我會答，因為它們的硬件有分別、軟件有差距。

硬件缺失，為之「愚蠢」。軟件不足，為之「無知」。二選其一，就可以大大減弱，你「連繫意念」的能力。

Headmaster (Transformers)

Posted on by

Binary-bonding

When connected with each other, the human or Nebulan and the Transformer essentially share a single mind and can work together seamlessly, but when separated from each other, both retain their individual minds and bodies. This allows for greater cooperation, and with twice the experience, a better understanding of possible combat or other dangerous situations. The binary-bonding process does not damage the body of either party, and both parties are able to carry on with their normal lives, but it does generate a permanent, irreversible bond between their minds. However, the Headmaster component can find themselves with increased strength.

The process does have a few weaknesses. Some partnerships on both sides suffer from issues partners have with one another. For example, Vorath is a scientist while his Decepticon partner, Mindwipe is a believer in the supernatural, leading the two to bicker over conflicting ideologies. Also, headless Transformers can be stuck in vehicle mode when the Headmaster component is separated.

軟硬智力 4 | Hardware designers 2

這段改編自 2010 年 3 月 20 日的對話。

In electronic systems and computing, firmware is a term often used to denote the fixed, usually rather small, programs and/or data structures that internally control various electronic devices.

There are no strict boundaries between firmware and software, as both are quite loose descriptive terms. However, the term firmware was originally coined to contrast with higher-level software which could be changed without replacing a computer hardware component.

— Wikipedia on Firmware

Also, when you are hardware designers, you have tremendously more discipline in writing and describing software because in hardware you cannot get it wrong.

— Bhatia

— Founders at Work

Software in small becomes hardware in big:

Part of your intelligence hardware

is your intelligence software installed when you were small.

7. If you are given a choice, you believe you have acted freely. This is one of the darkest of all psychological secrets.

When I cut the cards, I let you glimpse a few different faces. You conclude the deck contains 52 different cards (No. 1—Pattern recognition). You think you’ve made a choice, just as when you choose between two candidates preselected by entrenched political parties (No. 7 — Choice is not freedom).

I am a Strange Loop, 3.2

When I am conscious, different times of myself-s interact.

When different times of the same (software) object interact, there comes consciousness.

The past is part of the present.

So consciousness comes from the whole-part interaction.
