You might try "Notes from Underground" by Dostoevsky first, which is much shorter, just to get a taste of his characters and writing style. If you like that, go on to "Crime and Punishment", and then read "The Brot

This AI strikes me as being so dystopian. Time to break out and read Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four again. A true AI would respond to user behavior and back off or change accordingly. Reminds me of Google News which keeps inserting a

I saw the Ford F-150 assembly in Dearborn, and it was similar. Very extensive use of industrial robots. Vacuum manipulators to hold glass and quarter panels. Funny chair-lifts to support personnel who drop into the chassis to install the

And Varroa destructor mites. If Beewise can figure a simple but effective method for eradicating them from the hive, they will solve one of the biggest stressors on bees. Beekeeping, as has been said, is really pest management.

The article mentions the human heart is asymmetrical, which was an exception I thought of immediately. And actually there are many more internal organs that are too (maybe more than are not?), such as: - lungs (the right has 3 lobes, th

Yeah, I'm finishing a basement and the select 2x4 studs were over $9 last week. So I went with economy studs for $4.35 but you have to really pick through them to get good ones. I went back to get more and now they are sold out - othe

I found the same. I once computed a high-order (something like 100) low-pass Butterworth using SOS sections as a test and did not notice any instability in the filtered signal. The key was to directly derive the SOS coefficients using bi

Coincidence. I was trying to find the reference to Ramalho's comment about GoF and found his comment in a random search.

Luciano Ramalho in his book "Fluent Python" mentioned that some (most?) of the GoF patterns are unneeded in a dynamic language like Python. I see [0] he is favorable to this site's author, so it is probably worth a look. [0]

Harder than Wordle but still solvable. Mine: 95317 -+- 25943 +- - 65393 ++-- 65839 +++++ Some luck, but you can also lock in odd numbers before proceeding to add evens. And it obviously can't end in an even.
