Saw this at the local Costco. Pretty funny. I looked it up and, while it isn’t a real thing you can buy, there is a whole industry on Etsy and other sites with these things. Very well done.

Library of Congress: Fascinating Facts
When you publish a book, it is recommended to register it with the Library of Congress. The Library of Congress Control Number (LCCN) helps uniquely identify the book and is related to copyright. Part of the process is to send a copy of a physical book to them. This isn’t required, but many publishers send them in.
The LOC receives over 15,000 books PER DAY into their possession. This is a ridiculous number. Not everything is worthy of being added to the LOC permanent collection, but nothing is thrown away and some of the approaches are pretty clever.
The library started in 1800, which is also amazing.

The sunset was great the other night. Luna and I were doing our rounds before bed and this was the view.

With no notice, construction crews came by our neighborhood installing fiber. Yes, I realize that if we paid more attention to city government, we probably would have seen some sort of notice.
Haven’t heard anything from any company announcing service so we will have to see who it is. I have been using comcast/Xfinity for over 20 years and I wouldn’t mind having some competition. I know 5G is competition, but it is different than fiber. With fiber, we start out at the bottom of the capability. With Xfinity or 5G, we would start out at the upper end of the capability.
Hopefully they have figured out customer service.

Yes, a bit clickbait-y on the title. It isn’t so much as exposed and illustrated. This isn’t a secret to anyone who looks into it.
A walk thru, in simple terms, of the fundamental components of AI. Running on old iron. You need a bit of tech background to enjoy this.
