Now that's a cool application of AI.

"Three students have won a $700,000 prize after using AI to read a 2,000-year-old scroll burnt during the Mount Vesuvius eruption in 79AD.

The ancient text was unreadable until now after being charred in the Roman town of Herculaneum during the same eruption that destroyed Pompeii.

It is thought to have belonged to Julius Caesar's father-in-law and talks of music and food."

This was iconic. The reverence Luke Combs has for Tracy Chapman is obvious, singing only for her, his idol.

In love with the original, I wasn't particularly impressed with the cover but this duet is magic.

Can mathematics predict love?

"Love is full of patterns. And mathematics is the study of patterns."

Wonderful TEDx talk by Hannah Fry and book:

Here's a handy guide to check yourself against; which way do you display/store/shelve your #Books?

I have so many that I fit a number of different categories depending on which part of he house you're in.... I doubt I'm alone in my pluralist shelving habits
