I haven't finished many books this year.

I'm struggling with "The Power" by Naomi Alderman. I don't know if it's how it's written, or the pacing, but it's somehow not grabbing me.

I'm listening to "Juice", by Tim Winton and enjoying it.

Other stuff I read this year, none of which I felt I resonated with, were:

• Prophet Song by Paul Lynch.
• The Night Sessions by Ken Macleod
• Coming up for Air by George Orwell

Anyone read any of these? Thoughts?

I'll take my down votes and go elsewhere!

I didn't think this post was going to be of interest to a general audience.

I had to read the comments to know what I was looking at.

Isn't there a more specialised community where this kind of stuff could be posted?

Yeah, well I bought a light switch...

Forth is stackier.

Sure, that's what I meant with the nuance missing from the press release.

It depends what/how is being encoded in those 10 bits.

A decision tree was just one example.

Thanks for the link.

Yes thank you. I know how binary works!

I could believe that we take 10 decisions based on pre-learned information per second, but we must be able to ingest new information at a much quicker rate.

I mean: look at an image for a second. Can you only remember 10 things about it?

It's hard to speculate on such a short and undoubtedly watered down, press summary. You'd have to read the paper to get the full nuance.

Why not?

IPA is fine, but it's not a good idea to inhale the fumes, or get the liquid on your hands too often.

It dries your hands out something rotten.

How do they save transactions reliably? To floppy? Or tape?

What if the disk/tape is full.

I love it, but seems a bit flakey

I mean Kudos for owning up that they in part rely on child labour. Still horrible.

MCSUFO

Weird stuff.

I'm British (like Cadbury's), but I've never heard of a "5 star" bar. Is it what we call a "Star bar"?

Oh that wiki.

Ok, I'll ask then: what is a SCP in this context?

Yes, yes. Hence etc.
