95% of my books come from the Denver Public Library new book shelf. They have an excellent selection. I reserve items from them I read in online book reveals and see at the bookstore. I probably read several $1000s of books this way.

I was hoping 'scientific' meant publishing the training data and resulting AI model in order that others could either use it or reproduce it. A lot of neural net A.I. isnt really scientific in this sense.

This is where linkedin confuses me. No photo considerably lowers the attention you het. On the other hand the photo should be professionally shot with you wearing business attire. Professional socities sometimes offer free head shoots.

Cheap toilet paper from wood pulp is only about 150 years old. Before then there was not a lot of spare paper around. Woodpulp paper can be made quickly biodegradable.

I was there too but only saw Woz and some of the original Mac team. Started late as was Steves habit in the early years (and probably flakey computers too). The essence of the demo was multimedia capabilities- uncommon in that era. I was St

It is not from lack of trying. Geophysicists have been trying for 50 years. There was a glimmer of hope when I started grad school with Russians promoting pre-quake velocity anomalies and radon emissions anomalies. And Chinese promoting ani

19 candidate events past 92 days since the improved system was turned on- about every five days. I am not sure what elevates a candidate to a confirmed event. Candidate events are posted quickly in hopes of observing associated photons.
