The authors appear to be from the same medical college in India, and their profiles on the school's website are written in English. They probably write in that language as well.

When I saw "peace Conan" my brain went to an entirely wrong expectation. O'Brien's story is wildly different (and better) than that other Conan's answer about what is best in life.

I get what you're saying but I don't think Obama paperwork is the answer. Instead I expect the fight to be state by state with secy's of state refusing to put Trump on the Nov. ballot. Bolster them, against lawsuits (and arrests). Trump in the primaries might also scramble other GOP candidates.

022

G.K.4 @geekayfour.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Ah, but you see, Obama's terms were consecutive while Trump's terms were not. So Trump still hasn't encountered the term limit, just like his boss never has....

G.K.4 @geekayfour.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

I think you're right. In Trump vs. the United States (2024) the Party decided that Trump has exclusive authority over military matters. So, just put a vacuous "military" excuse on the ego arch, the physical destruction of the White House, or anything else and he gets his way.

Have you tried www.addall.com ? They provide links to multiple vendors from a single search. And their search tool can switch between in-print books and used books. There is also www.abaa.org when you really do want something old or rare.

... details about the book. They list the ISBN for the hardcover as 9781668221402 , and for the e-book it's 9781668221426 . This standardized number will help you when purchasing from your brick-and-mortar store or online bookseller of choice (including Bookshop). You can usually find ISBN's 2/?

To help people get what they actually want, here are some suggestions. Verify the author's name, the publisher's name (often a big company, depending), and the publication details. The publisher of the real _The Nerd Reich_ is Simon & Schuster, and they have a page on their website with 1/?

This sounds like a children's book ... "Brandi and the Plum Man". You go around to farmers' markets with him in your pocket, and the two of you assess the quality of the produce. (And teach young readers about the importance of farms and healthy food.)

The likes of Edmond Halley and Carl Linnaeus and their contemporaries may have made impressive scientific advances for their times. But their university educations would be wholly inadequate today. At least Dr. Taylor had knowledge and experience unique to the 23rd century.

Are these discussions about LLM's or are they about actual machine learning systems? From my understanding, the latter are designed for specific research tasks, so they don't seem to be _looking_ for a purpose.
