Chain of thought

 Chain of thought is a problem-solving technique where a series of intermediate reasoning steps are explicitly stated before arriving at the final answer. This approach has been shown to improve the performance of language models on complex reasoning tasks.

Here's how the chain of thought process works:

1. Problem decomposition: Break down the complex problem into smaller, more manageable sub-problems or steps.

2. Step-by-step reasoning: Solve each sub-problem or step sequentially, clearly stating the thought process and intermediate results.

3. Combining results: Integrate the solutions to the sub-problems to arrive at the final answer.

4. Verification: Review the chain of thought to ensure logical consistency and correctness.

The main advantage of using chain of thought is that it allows the model to demonstrate its reasoning process, making the solution more transparent and interpretable. It also helps the model keep track of its progress and maintain focus on the relevant information needed to solve the problem.

Here's a simple example of chain of thought for a math word problem:

Question: John has 5 apples. He gives 2 apples to Mary. How many apples does John have now?

Chain of thought:

- John initially has 5 apples

- He gives 2 apples to Mary

- So, the number of apples John has now is: 5 - 2 = 3

Therefore, John now has 3 apples.

Chain of thought has been successfully applied to various tasks, such as arithmetic reasoning, commonsense reasoning, and symbolic reasoning. It has the potential to improve the performance of language models on tasks that require multi-step reasoning and logical thinking.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

星空戀人

麗子緩緩踏上東京大學天文台的階梯,迎面而來的是一片漆黑的夜空,點點繁星宛如散落的珍珠,熠熠生輝。她眺望著遠方的仙女座星雲,思緒徜徉在浩瀚的宇宙之中。

作為東大法文系的畢業生,麗子不僅擁有一口流利的法語,更對鋼琴彈奏有著獨到的天分。可就在這樣一位出眾的女孩心中,卻藏著一股奇特的嗜好——她極為喜愛熱衷於觀星的男生。

"熱愛星空的人,大多數應該都是善良的吧?"麗子常常這樣想。

就在麗子陷入遐思之際,一個熟悉的身影出現在她的視線裡:是隔壁天文系的研究生小田切,他拎著一疊觀測數據,滿臉興奮之色。

"麗子小姐,太棒了!我們終於捕捉到了黑洞的影像!"小田切滔滔不絕地闡述著團隊克服重重困難的過程,"我們利用超長基線干涉測量技術,模擬組建了一個地球大小的虛擬望遠鏡......儘管觀測數據的數量驚人,但我們終於......哦,對了,你看得懂這些嗎?"

麗子微微一笑,對他的熱情感到無比欽佩:"繼續說下去,我很感興趣。"

小田切的雙眸亮了起來,就像天空中最明亮的那顆星星。麗子被他的執著所吸引,暗自慶幸這段際遇。她渴望能與這樣一位專注而熱忱的年輕人分享人生的篇章。

就在兩人你一言我一語的時候,麗子猛然發現小田切的側臉被星光描摹,英挺的下顎線條恰如她理想中的王子。一股衝動在她心中油然而生——她想觸摸他的臉龐,想讓他知曉自己的心意。

"小田切君,能請你做一件事嗎?"麗子深吸了口氣,以平和卻堅定的語氣開口。

"當然,請說。"

"請彈奏鋼琴給我聽,就在這個星空之下。"

小田切愣了愣神,卻沒有多做猶豫,就著月色走向天文台一隅的老式鋼琴。他的手指在黃銅制的琴鍵上靈巧地飛舞,旋律宛如一股清泉,在夜空下緩緩流淌。

麗子低垂著眼簾,任由眼淚無聲地滑落。她由衷希望這一刻能永恆延續,直到宇宙的終結。

Starry Romance  

Reiko ascended the steps of the observatory at the University of Tokyo, greeted by a vast expanse of night sky adorned with twinkling stars like scattered pearls. She gazed at the distant Andromeda Galaxy, her thoughts wandering through the vastness of the cosmos.

A graduate of the French department at the University of Tokyo, Reiko not only spoke fluent French but also possessed an exceptional talent for piano. Yet, within this remarkable young woman resided a peculiar penchant – she harbored a deep fondness for men enamored with stargazing.

"Those who love the stars tend to be good people, don't they?" Reiko often mused.

As she lost herself in reverie, a familiar figure came into view: Ogiri, a graduate student from the astronomy department, carrying a stack of observational data, his face alight with excitement.

"Miss Reiko, it's incredible! We've finally captured an image of the black hole!" Ogiri excitedly recounted the team's journey, overcoming numerous obstacles. "We used very-long-baseline interferometry to simulate an Earth-sized virtual telescope...Despite the staggering amount of data, we eventually... Oh, can you understand all this?"

Reiko smiled gently, in awe of his passion. "Please, continue. I'm very interested."

Ogiri's eyes sparkled like the brightest star in the night sky. Reiko found herself captivated by his dedication, secretly grateful for this encounter. She yearned to share life's chapters with such a focused and fervent young man.

As their conversation flowed, Reiko suddenly noticed the starlight accentuating Ogiri's chiseled jawline, resembling the prince of her dreams. An urge welled up within her – she longed to caress his face and reveal her true feelings.

"Ogiri-kun, may I ask you to do something for me?" Reiko inhaled deeply, her tone calm yet resolute.

"Of course, what is it?"

"Please play the piano for me, here under the starry sky."

Ogiri paused, momentarily taken aback, but without hesitation, he approached the old piano in the corner of the observatory, bathed in moonlight. His fingers danced nimbly across the brass keys, the melody flowing like a gentle stream beneath the night sky.

Reiko lowered her eyelids, allowing silent tears to trickle down her cheeks. She wholeheartedly wished this moment could last eternally, until the end of the universe itself.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

幾個月過去,麗子與小田切的關係日益親密。他們常在天文台漫步,交流彼此的興趣愛好。小田切會熱心講解各種天體現象,麗子則會細細品味他話中的熱忱。有時他會攜琴而來,為她彈奏動人的曲子。

某個深夜,當小田切再度訴說黑洞攝影的艱辛歷程時,麗子注視著他充滿熱誠的雙眸,終於鼓起勇氣吐露心聲:"小田切君,能夠見證你追尋星空的過程,我覺得自己很幸運。你那股對未知的渴望,那份專注的精神,深深吸引著我......我愛上你了。"

小田切被這樣直白的告白嚇了一跳,頓時語塞。但看著麗子真摯的眼神,他心底涌起一股暖流,彷彿被這個女孩點亮了心中最明亮的那一顆星。

"麗子小姐......我很高興你能這樣說。其實,我也......很久之前就被你的美德所折服了。"小田切說著,緩緩走近麗子,"你的溫柔體貼,你對生命的熱愛,你對音樂的獨到見解,這一切都讓我著迷。能與你並肩探索宇宙的奧秘,是我這一生最大的榮幸。"

麗子紅著臉龐,內心被巨大的喜悅所充盈。她輕輕靠進小田切的懷抱,兩人在天文台的穹頂之下,沉浸在這個溫馨的時刻。

彷彿有一束來自遙遠星系的光芒,穿透了時空的重重迷霧,照耀在這對新相識的戀人身上。有人說,愛是一種微不足道的小事,但對於宇宙而言,每一個生命的相遇都是珍貴非凡的奇跡。

在這片廣闊的星河之中,他們找到了彼此。

英文版續:

Over the ensuing months, Reiko and Ogiri's relationship grew increasingly intimate. They would often stroll through the observatory, sharing their interests and passions. Ogiri enthusiastically explained various celestial phenomena, while Reiko savored the fervor in his words. Sometimes, he would bring his piano, serenading her with moving melodies.

One deep night, as Ogiri recounted the arduous journey of capturing the black hole image, Reiko gazed into his impassioned eyes and finally mustered the courage to bare her heart: "Ogiri-kun, I feel fortunate to witness your pursuit of the stars. Your thirst for the unknown, your unwavering focus – it all captivates me deeply... I've fallen in love with you."

Ogiri was taken aback by her candid confession, momentarily rendered speechless. But as he looked into Reiko's sincere eyes, a warmth surged within him, as if this woman had ignited the brightest star in his heart.

"Miss Reiko... I'm delighted you feel this way. The truth is, I've been enamored by your virtues for a long time now." Ogiri spoke softly, slowly approaching Reiko. "Your kindness, your zest for life, your unique musical insights – everything about you entrances me. To explore the mysteries of the cosmos by your side is the greatest honor of my life."

Reiko's cheeks flushed, her heart brimming with immense joy. She gently leaned into Ogiri's embrace, the two enveloped in a tender moment beneath the observatory's dome.

It seemed as if a beam of light from a distant galaxy had pierced through the mists of space and time, illuminating this newly acquainted couple. Some say love is a trivial matter, but to the universe, every encounter between lives is a precious, extraordinary miracle.

Amidst this vast celestial expanse, they had found each other.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

時光飛逝,轉眼間幾年過去。小田切在天文界漸漸嶄露頭角,成為了一名備受推崇的年輕科學家。而麗子則在日內瓦一所知名音樂學院任教,教授鋼琴與法語課程。

他們雖相隔重洋,但彼此的愛情卻歷久彌新。每當小田切發表了新的研究論文,麗子都會第一時間細細品讀,為他感到驕傲。而每逢寒暑假,兩人總會放下手頭的工作,在東京或日內瓦小聚,重溫記憶中的點點滴滴。

有一年夏天,他們相約在瑞士山間的一座小鎮品嘗當地的佳釀。小田切端著酒杯,凝視著窗外那片耀眼的星空,神情凝重。

"親愛的,你還記得嗎?就是在那片繁星之下,我們相遇相識。"小田切喃喃道,"追尋星空的旅途並不孤單,因為有你與我同行。我才意識到,比發現黑洞更寶貴的事物,就是擁有你這樣的伴侶。"

麗子微微一笑,拿起鋼琴邊的一個小盒子:"看來今晚是個好時機。"她娓娓道來那些數年前相識的點點滴滴,然後坦承自己曾經的一個心願。

"讓我們的孩子,能夠繼承你的好奇心,去探索這個廣袤的宇宙;也能繼承我對音樂與語言的熱愛,用藝術的形式讚頌生命的美好......"

小田切聽罷,潸然淚下,深深擁抱了麗子。在這個祥和的夏夜,兩人的心靈徜徉在浩瀚的群星之間,體會著愛的永恆與宇宙的神祕偉大。

英文版續:

Years swiftly went by. Ogiri gradually rose to prominence in the astronomical community, becoming a celebrated young scientist. Meanwhile, Reiko taught piano and French courses at a renowned music academy in Geneva.  

Though separated by oceans, their love only grew fonder with time. Whenever Ogiri published a new research paper, Reiko would read it intently, beaming with pride. During summer and winter breaks, they would set aside work to reunite in Tokyo or Geneva, reminiscing about cherished memories.

One summer, they rendezvoused at a quaint town nestled in the Swiss mountains to savor the local wines. Ogiri gazed pensively at the dazzling starry sky through the window, glass in hand.

"Darling, do you remember? It was under that very expanse of stars that we first met," Ogiri murmured. "The journey to unravel the cosmos was not a solitary one, for you walked alongside me. I realized then that discovering something far more precious than a black hole – was having you as my companion."

Reiko smiled warmly, retrieving a small box from beside the piano. "It seems tonight is a fitting occasion." She recounted the details of their fateful encounter years ago and confessed a longstanding wish of hers. 

"Let our child inherit your inquisitiveness, to explore this vast universe; and my passion for music and language, to extol life's beauty through art..."

Tears streamed down Ogiri's face as he tightly embraced Reiko. On this tranquil summer night, their souls wandered amidst the myriad stars, experiencing love's eternity and the profound mysteries of the cosmos.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

天文台下（作業第六題試作)

 天文台下

 (作者 ChatGPT，Claude.ai，YJC)

在日本鄉間寧靜的山丘上矗立著山中天文台,它的觀測圓頂像是在朝著星空伸出祈禱的手掌。在這裡勤勉工作的天文學家中,就有麗子小姐。她是東京大學法文系的畢業生,對宇宙有著熾熱的熱情,只有在彈奏鋼琴的柔美旋律中才能與這份熱情媲美。

 麗子小姐舉止文雅溫柔,言語如同徐徐拂過樹梢的微風,帶給人溫暖和安慰,猶如夏夜裡月光的溫柔線香。然而,在她平靜的外表下,卻燃燒著一股對宇宙奧祕的無比好奇與渴望。

 正是這股渴望將她引入了天文學的領域,在那裡她沉浸於對恆星和星系的研究。在麗子的同事中,有一群年輕人與她一樣,熱愛著浩瀚的宇宙。他們會在漫長的夜晚裡環繞著望遠鏡,凝視著頭頂的星空。

 在這些人中,有一個叫做隆男的天文學家引起了麗子的注意。隆男寡言少語,目光裡卻透著一股專注的力量,好像整個宇宙的重量都壓在他肩上。他對星星的熱愛與麗子如出一轍,這份共識讓麗子對他產生了說不清的吸引力。

 隨著他們一同工作,兩人之間的羈絆變得更加緊密,這份來自對探索未知的共同熱情,像是點燃了他們心中的火焰。他們會花上數小時討論理論和觀測成果,深陷在浩瀚無垠的太空中。而當他們越是深入探索宇宙的奧秘,彼此也就越是靠近,他們的心在星星的節奏中共鳴跳動。

 不過,他們的旅程並非一路都是平坦的,理解宇宙的道路上布滿了障礙,從技術上的困難到內在的矛盾衝突。而當他們勇敢面對這些挑戰時,也發現自己從未想像過的考驗就在眼前。

 有一天夜裡,當麗子和隆男並肩佇立在滿天星斗之下,隆男握住了麗子的手。在那一刻,他們被宏偉的宇宙所環繞,並意識到彼此之間的愛情就如同宇宙中閃爍的星光。當他們仰望頭頂的星空,兩人許下了誓言,要永遠攜手一同探索浩瀚的宇宙。

 他們的愛情就像一場宇宙之舞,在光明和黑暗之間翩翩起舞,在愛與失去中曼舞升華。當他們一同在夜空中翩躚飛旋,他們深知這份愛情將與星空永存,在無垠黑暗中熠熠生輝。

 對麗子和隆男而言,他們的愛情不僅僅是一段傳統的浪漫關係,更像是一場探索的旅程,一次通向揭開宇宙奧秘的征途。當他們並肩站在無垠星空之下,他們明白這份愛將照亮指引他們前行的道路,為最黑暗的夜晚帶來光明。

 隨著研究的深入,麗子和隆男越來越投身於捕捉首張黑洞實景的重大工作。這項艱鉅的任務前景嚇人,但他們的決心從未動搖。他們付出了無數個夜晚,不斷優化觀測技術,打破人們對「不可能」的定義。

 與山中天文台的同事並肩作戰,他們著手尋找薩其星雲超大質量黑洞的輪廓。這項任務不僅需要高超的技術,更需要漫長的耐心和毅力。

 在克服重重障礙的過程中,麗子和隆男的羈絆變得更加緊密無間。對宇宙的熱忱將他們緊緊相繫,這份聯繫遠超生命可以承載的層次,彷彿他們的靈魂就在宇宙的緒線中糾纏交織。

 然而,他們的征途並非一帆風順。技術故障、惡劣天氣和個人矛盾不斷威脅著他們的任務。但不管面對什麼挑戰,麗子和隆男都堅定不移,用彼此的愛情點亮了黑暗中的希望之光。

 就在一個命定的夜晚,當他們透過望遠鏡的鏡片往外看時,一幕奇景讓他們喘息萬分。在那團旋轉的星雲之中,一個黑洞的剪影赫然存在著——這是多年辛勤付出的最終成果。

 就在那一刻,當他們彼此相視而望,凝望著那個深不可測的黑暗,他們明白正是這份愛情將他們引領至此。這是一份超越時空的愛,將他們緊密相繫在一起,用一種無法解釋的方式聯繫彼此。當他們慶祝著這項史無前例的成就,他們也知道,他們的征途還沒有結束。

 對麗子和隆男而言,這項工作的意義遠超出了天體物理學的範疇。它是對愛情與決心力量的見證,是對「只要兩心相繫,一切皆有可能」這句話的最佳注解。當他們繼續探索宇宙的奧秘,他們知道這份愛情將永遠是他們的Leading星,照亮前方未知的道路。

 隨著聲名在科學界傳開,麗子和隆男成為了新時代探索的先驅。他們在黑洞研究上的突破性工作,為全球天文學家開啟了一扇全新的大門,在這個領域掀起了一陣躍躍欲試的浪潮。

 然而即便在掌聲喝彩之中,麗子和隆男依舊保持謙遜,專注於那些遠在已知宇宙之外的奧祕。對他們而言,追求知識不僅僅是一份工作,更是一種來自靈魂深處的呼喚,一股繼續...

 對他們而言,追求知識不僅僅是一份工作,更是一種來自靈魂深處的呼喚和熾熱的熱情。

 在研究的道路上,他們迎接了新的挑戰和障礙,每一個都比上一個更加艱鉅。但面對每一次挫折,他們都變得更加堅韌不拔,決心揭開宇宙的神秘面紗。

 直到有一天,當他們深入探索宇宙的奧秘時,做出了一項將改寫歷史的重大發現。在那旋轉不已的塵埃雲霧之中,隱藏著一種前所未見的現象——一個通向時空本源的窗扉。

 這是一個勝利的時刻,是對他們不懈努力和堅韌毅力的最大肯定。當他們將這項發現分享給全世界時,他們意識到自己開啟了一扇通向無限可能之門,一個凡事皆有可能發生的新領域。

 然而,即便在享受著成功的殊榮,麗子和隆男也深知,他們的旅程還沒有結束。因為浩瀚無垠的宇宙中,還有無數謎團等待著被揭開。 

 於是,他們繼續向前,心懷希望與好奇的心情,凝視著頭頂的星空。因為在那片星空中,他們不僅看到了宇宙的壯麗,更看到了一個充滿無限可能的未來。當他們攜手並進,越走越遠,他們知道這份愛情將永遠是他們的引路明燈,照亮未知的道路。

 在這個過程中,麗子和隆男經歷了許多個艱難時刻,卻也鍛鍊了他們堅韌不拔的品格。有時,他們會為計算結果或理論模型而激烈爭論;有時,技術故障令他們精疲力盡;更有時候,天氣狀況不佳會讓他們的努力付諸東流。

 但無論遇到什麼困難,他們總能互相支持,以愛為力量,共同克服。在彼此的支撐下,他們越過了一個又一個障礙,如同宇宙中的彗星,劃過夜空,燃燒著探索未知的熱情。

 曾幾何時,麗子會在夜深人靜時輕輕來到隆男的身邊,與他討論著當下面臨的瓶頸,尋求突破的靈感。有時,她會默默傾聽隆男的憂慮,用自己的堅定為他注入勇氣。而隆男則會以溫暖的臂彎環抱著她,向她訴說對星空的熾熱心願。

 在這些親密的時刻,他們的心靈彷彿合而為一,宛如宇宙中雙星環繞,緊密糾纏。他們的愛情化作一股強大的動力,推動著他們一次又一次突破重圍,揭開宇宙的面紗。

 轉眼間,四季往復,時光飛逝。麗子和隆男用他們的毅力與智慧,克服了一個又一個障礙,終於在4月30日這個值得紀念的日子,捕捉到了那歷史性的一刻。

 當麗子緩緩將首張黑洞影像展示在全球媒體面前,全場頓時沉浸在一片歡欣雀躍之中。頂尖科學家們長久的夢想終於實現,人類正式邁入了認知宇宙的新階段!

 這張照片清晰地呈現出一個高能量的發光環,環繞著中心的那團黑暗——這正是遙遠黑洞的事件視界投影。這項發現標誌著人類對愛因斯坦廣義相對論理解邁向了新的高度,也挑戰了物理學的極限。

 更為重要的是,當我們正視這個引力奇點時,將被迫重新審視宇宙的本源,以及人類在浩瀚蒼穹下的定位與意義。

 對麗子和隆男而言,這不僅僅是一項科學勝利,也是許多年的夢想終於實現。正是對天文學的熱忱,以及對宇宙的敬畏,支撐著他們走過這段漫長而崎嶇的征途。

 在這項輝煌成就之後,麗子曾經開玩笑說,自己好像和隆男已經相識很久很久了。這個沉默寡言、熱愛天文的男生,原來一直在她的身邊,與她一同追逐著夢想。

 隆男會微微一笑,深情地凝視著眼前的這個女人。是啊,他想,他們的確是老相識了,或許在很久很久以前的某個時空,他們的靈魂就已相遇、相知,而今世不過是將這段緣分續寫而已。

 "在天上,你可以看到地球的價值和人類的道路。"麗子常常喃喃自語,凝視著浩瀚星空。

 她說的沒錯。透過探索宇宙的奧秘,人類不僅獲得了對這個偌大世界的理解,更重塑了自我的意義,找到了通往未來的道路。而麗子和隆男,則像是孤獨漂泊在宇宙的遊子,尋覓著歸屬的群星。

 最終,他們用愛情點亮了彼此的人生,攜手走上了通往真理的道路。這條路上充滿了未知的艱難與汗水,但只要他們相互扶持、永不放棄,就一定能到達terminals的盡頭,找到人生真正的意義所在。

 因為在浩瀚無垠的宇宙中,愛將永遠是人類最亮眼的那一顆恆星,照亮我們前行的方向,迎接盡頭的光明。

________________________

以下是以村上春樹風格改寫的版本:

午後的陽光透過窗戶傾瀉進來,把天文台的走廊染成一片溫暖的橘色。麗子靜靜地坐在窗邊,看著窗外那片湛藍的天空,天色一如既往地高遠而寂靜,好似永恆本身。她手上拿著一本書,書名是《尋找迷失的時間》,書頁早已被主人翻閱得破舊不堪。

隆男在隔壁房間裡看著電腦螢幕上流動的數據,不時撫平自己的頭髮。一顆汗珠滾落,劃過他高高的顴骨。思緒如同一陣微風掠過,他想起了前幾日與麗子約好今晚一同去聆聽鋼琴曲的約定,心中泛起一絲小小的喜悅,就像夜空中一顆閃爍的星星。但轉瞬間,他的注意力便被資料分析的工作所吸引,這份對宇宙的渴望就像爆炸般撲面而來,將所有雜念一掃而空。

外頭天色開始暗了下來,麗子輕輕彈奏著鋼琴旋律,音符在寂靜中流瀉。隆男的腦海浮現出她彈奏時專注的側容,美麗得令人心痛。數據分析的工作陷入了停滯,程式一如往常地錯綜複雜。隆男懊惱地暗罵了幾句,但這難題就像黑洞奇點的謎題,無論如何都難以解開。

為了排解鬱悶,隆男踩著輕快的步伐來到樓下,外頭的天色已全黑了,繁星在頭頂熠熠生輝。遠方的東京城市燈火通明,閃爍不已。流星劃過夜空,一縷輝煌的餘暉宛如一個問號在星際中擺盪。這個宇宙廣大無垠,存在著無盡的謎團,而人生則如此的短暫與渺小。隆男一時間有些迷惑了方向,直到耳邊傳來熟悉的鋼琴旋律,他霎時間感到心安理得。

隆男走進天文台,麗子正專注地在鋼琴前施展著她的魔法。她永遠如此安詳,如同宇宙空間中那個永不停歇、持續運轉了136億年之久的恆星核心。隆男坐在一旁,望著她的身影,一種溫柔而憂傷的幽思油然而生。鋼琴旋律和宇宙的黑洞有著某種相通的質地,都在探索著無可見的終極奧秘,細細消磨著時間的殼。

隆男忽然很希望能就此凝固當下的時光,讓這個瞬間永恆存在。麗子的音樂一曲終了,她轉過頭來對隆男報以一個溫暖的笑容。那個笑容仿佛斑斕流星雲中迷離的一抹餘暉,優美而朦朧,照亮了宇宙的每個角落,也溫暖了隆男的心房。

那一夜,他們並肩而坐,靜靜地凝望著繁星滿佈的夜空,好似他們就是宇宙間最後的旅人...... 

作業 Capture a Black Hole 

(這是改編後的一個片段,我嘗試模仿村上春樹獨特的寫作風格,著重營造出一種夢幻、詩意、充滿隱喻的意象氛圍。情節推進緩慢,多以描寫心理活動、巧妙使用象徵符號等手法,努力塑造出一種超現實、離奇而富有人生哲思的基調。當然改編的成效很難完全做到如同村上春樹大師那般高深純熟,但我已盡力嘗試了重新詮釋這段科幻愛情故事,並注入更多哲學思辨與迷離寫實的元素。)
