对于现代人来说，忙着减肥、忙着美肤、忙着健身，但同时失眠、焦虑、痤疮、糖尿病等亚健康问题又如影随形。法国“葡萄糖女神”、生物化学家杰西·安佐斯佩告诉你，这些亚健康问题往往都是由我们体内的血糖水平变化引起的，只是我们不自知而已。若置之不理，皮肤问题、情绪问题往往就会接踵而至，情况严重的话，更会引发2型糖尿病、多囊卵巢综合征等身体问题。
杰西·安佐斯佩在《控糖革命》一书中，提出了三个关键性的、颠覆常识的观点：
1.不是只有糖尿病人才需要关心血糖，80%的现代人都有血糖方面的问题；
2.我们不只要控制血糖，更重要的是要控制血糖峰值的变化；
3.比节食更有效的控糖方法是改变吃的顺序。
全书分为三大部分——为什么要控糖、出现葡萄糖峰值有哪些危害、轻松控糖的10个小窍门，通过8个章节，系统阐释了如何在不节食、不放弃我们喜爱的食物的情况下，用10个简单而令人惊讶的方法平衡我们的血糖水平，提升和改善我们的健康状况，包括睡眠、情绪、健康、皮肤、体重，甚至减缓衰老。

Recent breakthroughs in AI have not only increased demand for AI products, they've also lowered the barriers to entry for those who want to build AI products. The model-as-a-service approach has transformed AI from an esoteric discipline into a powerful development tool that anyone can use. Everyone, including those with minimal or no prior AI experience, can now leverage AI models to build applications. In this book, author Chip Huyen discusses AI the process of building applications with readily available foundation models.

The book starts with an overview of AI engineering, explaining how it differs from traditional ML engineering and discussing the new AI stack. The more AI is used, the more opportunities there are for catastrophic failures, and therefore, the more important evaluation becomes. This book discusses different approaches to evaluating open-ended models, including the rapidly growing AI-as-a-judge approach.

AI application developers will discover how to navigate the AI landscape, including models, datasets, evaluation benchmarks, and the seemingly infinite number of use cases and application patterns. You'll learn a framework for developing an AI application, starting with simple techniques and progressing toward more sophisticated methods, and discover how to efficiently deploy these applications.

Understand what AI engineering is and how it differs from traditional machine learning engineeringLearn the process for developing an AI application, the challenges at each step, and approaches to address themExplore various model adaptation techniques, including prompt engineering, RAG, fine-tuning, agents, and dataset engineering, and understand how and why they workExamine the bottlenecks for latency and cost when serving foundation models and learn how to overcome themChoose the right model, dataset, evaluation benchmarks, and metrics for your needsChip Huyen works to accelerate data analytics on GPUs at Voltron Data. Previously, she was with Snorkel AI and NVIDIA, founded an AI infrastructure startup, and taught Machine Learning Systems Design at Stanford. She's the author of the book Designing Machine Learning Systems, an Amazon bestseller in AI.

AI Engineering builds upon and is complementary to Designing Machine Learning Systems (O'Reilly) .

第一季主要讲述巴尔的摩市警察对巴克斯戴尔贩毒集团的调查。
调查全因警探吉米·麦克纳提而起。在对迪安吉拉·巴克斯戴尔的庭审中，关键证人临时翻供，使得迪安吉拉成功脱罪。庭后，麦克纳提向法官丹尼尔·费兰透露，目击证人可能是受到被告的舅舅——伊旺·巴克斯戴尔手下人的威胁才被迫改了口，因为他在庭审现场看到了伊旺的副手斯丁格·贝尔以及其他几名团伙成员。麦克纳提还告诉费兰法官，巴克斯戴尔团伙涉嫌大宗毒品交易以及多宗谋杀悬案，但没有人调查他们的犯罪行径。
费兰法官于是向警察局高层抱怨，令高层倍感尴尬，于是他们责令组建一支专案组对巴克斯戴尔进行调查。但是高层并非真心想调查该案，而只是为了敷衍法官。一场博弈在希望侦办此案的警官与阻挠侦查的上司间展开，而专案组的指挥官塞德里克·丹尼尔斯则夹在中间，进退两难。
同时，巴克斯戴尔团伙内部也有矛盾。另外他们同以抢劫毒贩为生的奥马·利特间的争斗，造成了多人死伤，这进一步引起了警方关注。在此期间，迪安吉拉因自己的犯罪生活以及由此对他人的影响倍感良心不安。
警察展开街头抓捕，并希望能从街头毒贩瓦伦斯那里得到线索，但都没有多少进展。最终专案组开始采用电子监听设备，对团伙成员使用的公用电话和呼机进行监控。但却导致调查进入上层划定的禁区，触及政治献金等问题[151][152]。伊旺手下的一位小头目被另一队警察逮捕后，上司要求就此结案。基玛·格雷戈斯警探在行动中受伤[149][150]，令其他警官情绪激动，结果打草惊蛇。巴克斯戴尔团伙因此怀疑自己正受到警方调查，开始着手清除所有可疑人员，并弃用公用电话和呼机。
在斯丁格·贝尔的授意下，瓦伦斯被儿时伙伴博迪和普特射杀。迪安吉拉在为舅舅转移大量毒品时被抓，当得知瓦伦斯的死讯后，他决定供出舅舅和斯丁格。但其母劝导他要以家族事业为重。最终，专案组对伊旺从轻发落，他的手下威毕·布瑞斯则为大部分谋杀指控背黑锅，其中有一些甚至并不是威毕所为。斯丁格逃过起诉，继续运作巴克斯戴尔的犯罪王国。由于违抗上司命令，丹尼尔斯和麦克纳提都被调动到冷衙门。

With Expecting Better, award-winning economist Emily Oster spotted a need in the pregnancy market for advice that gave women the information they needed to make the best decision for their own pregnancies. By digging into the data, Oster found that much of the conventional pregnancy wisdom was wrong. In Cribsheet, she now tackles an even greater challenge: decision-making in the early years of parenting.
As any new parent knows, there is an abundance of often-conflicting advice hurled at you from doctors, family, friends, and strangers on the internet. From the earliest days, parents get the message that they must make certain choices around feeding, sleep, and schedule or all will be lost. There's a rule—or three—for everything. But the benefits of these choices can be overstated, and the trade-offs can be profound. How do you make your own best decision?
Armed with the data, Oster finds that the conventional wisdom doesn't always hold up. She debunks myths around breastfeeding (not a panacea), sleep training (not so bad!), potty training (wait until they're ready or possibly bribe with M&Ms), language acquisition (early talkers aren't necessarily geniuses), and many other topics. She also shows parents how to think through freighted questions like if and how to go back to work, how to think about toddler discipline, and how to have a relationship and parent at the same time.
Economics is the science of decision-making, and CRIBSHEET is a thinking parent's guide to the chaos and frequent misinformation of the early years. Emily Oster is a trained expert—and mom of two—who can empower us to make better, less fraught decisions—and stay sane in the years before preschool.

The secret to productivity isn’t discipline. It’s joy.
We think that productivity is all about hard work. That the road to success is lined with endless frustration and toil. But what if there’s another way?
Dr Ali Abdaal – the world's most-followed productivity expert – has uncovered an easier and happier path to success. Drawing on decades of psychological research, he has found that the secret to productivity and success isn't grind – it's feeling good. If you can make your work feel good, then productivity takes care of itself.
In this revolutionary book, Ali reveals how the science of feel-good productivity can transform your life. He introduces the three hidden 'energisers' that underpin enjoyable productivity, the three 'blockers' we must overcome to beat procrastination, and the three 'sustainers' that prevent burnout and help us achieve lasting fulfillment. He recounts the inspiring stories of founders, Olympians, and Nobel-winning scientists who embody the principles of Feel-Good Productivity. And he introduces the simple, actionable changes that you can use to achieve more and live better, starting today.
Armed with Ali’s insights, you won’t just accomplish more. You’ll feel happier and more fulfilled along the way.

A groundbreaking manifesto on living better and longer that challenges the conventional medical thinking on aging and reveals a new approach to preventing chronic disease and extending long-term health, from a visionary physician and leading longevity expert
“One of the most important books you’ll ever read.”—Steven D. Levitt, New York Times bestselling author of Freakonomics
Wouldn’t you like to live longer? And better? In this operating manual for longevity, Dr. Peter Attia draws on the latest science to deliver innovative nutritional interventions, techniques for optimizing exercise and sleep, and tools for addressing emotional and mental health.
For all its successes, mainstream medicine has failed to make much progress against the diseases of aging that kill most people: heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and type 2 diabetes. Too often, it intervenes with treatments too late to help, prolonging lifespan at the expense of healthspan, or quality of life. Dr. Attia believes we must replace this outdated framework with a personalized, proactive strategy for longevity, one where we take action now, rather than waiting.
This is not “biohacking,” it’s science: a well-founded strategic and tactical approach to extending lifespan while also improving our physical, cognitive, and emotional health. Dr. Attia’s aim is less to tell you what to do and more to help you learn how to think about long-term health, in order to create the best plan for you as an individual. In Outlive, readers will discover:
• Why the cholesterol test at your annual physical doesn’t tell you enough about your actual risk of dying from a heart attack.
• That you may already suffer from an extremely common yet underdiagnosed liver condition that could be a precursor to the chronic diseases of aging.
• Why exercise is the most potent pro-longevity “drug”—and how to begin training for the “Centenarian Decathlon.”
• Why you should forget about diets, and focus instead on nutritional biochemistry, using technology and data to personalize your eating pattern.
• Why striving for physical health and longevity, but ignoring emotional health, could be the ultimate curse of all.
Aging and longevity are far more malleable than we think; our fate is not set in stone. With the right roadmap, you can plot a different path for your life, one that lets you outlive your genes to make each decade better than the one before.

It's Sunday after dark. Your baby is sick, hurt, or acting strangely, and the doctor won't be in until tomorrow. How can you find out what to do when your healthcare professionals are unreachable? You may only need to go as far as your bookshelf. The revised edition of <i>Caring for Your Baby and Young Child: Birth to Age 5</i> (the American Academy of Pediatrics' reference book for infancy through preschool), provides a wealth of authoritative child-care information in an easy-to-use format.<p> The first half of this hefty text serves as a comprehensive parenting manual, and includes a month-by-month guide to the first year, nutritional information, basic care instructions, and physical, emotional, and social developmental milestones for children up to 5 years old. While the American Academy of Pediatrics represents the mainstream child-rearing philosophies embraced by thousands of baby doctors, it does not reflect the entire gamut of child-rearing theory. (There's no discussion, for instance, of breast-feeding past the first year or co-sleeping.) The second half of the book includes a thorough, easy-to-navigate emergency first-aid section, plus detailed information about childhood illnesses, immunization schedules and side effects, and family structures, as well as a discussion of behavioral issues. <i>Caring for Your Baby and Young Child</i> is useful, sensible, and carefully researched, and makes a trustworthy addition to any parent's bookshelf. <i>--Ericka Lutz</i></p>
