Nature's Wisdom, Humanity's Future: Nature, Culture, Science, and AI for Disaster Resilience and a Sustainable WorldWhat if the key to surviving tomorrow's disasters lies in remembering yesterday's wisdom?In this groundbreaking work, Dorendra Bahadur Thapa presents a bold new vision for disaster resilience—one that connects ancient knowledge with modern intelligence. Moving beyond conventional emergency response, the book introduces "Resilience Intelligence," a framework that unites nature, culture, Indigenous knowledge, science, technology, and artificial intelligence into one living system.

AI 越来越会回答、会行动，但下一种真正重要的智能，会不会是"发现"？《当 AI 开始发现》借 AlphaEvolve、自驱实验室、自动证明与世界模型，带你看见智能的一次转向。

Sleep is the ultimate luxury, but what if you could physically bottle and sell your deepest rest to the highest bidder? For exhausted immigrant Sunil Sharma, extracting his sleep into a miraculous, restorative liquid brings untold wealth—until he realizes he is inadvertently selling off his most precious memories. What the Night Takes is a haunting sci-fi novella exploring the brutal commodification of the human soul and the terrifying price of modern convenience.

Debug Java-to-PostgreSQL migration failures from the error outward: column type, JDBC binding, Java type, Hibernate mapping, Liquibase history. Examples smoke-tested on PostgreSQL 18, with the SQLSTATE to expect.

The engine never crashed. Every test passed. Then the opening auction cleared, order flow jumped fivefold, and for eight minutes it matched every order correctly against a book that was already 700 milliseconds out of date. Several hundred clients got fills that were individually plausible and collectively wrong. Nothing in the logs said why.This book is about that gap between "thread-safe" and "deterministic," and how to close it: lock-free CAS design, cache-line layout measured with perf c2c, zero-allocation hot paths, jitter hunted down to the interrupt level, and proof that the same event log replays byte-for-byte identical ten thousand times, including after a crash.

La inteligencia artificial está cambiando las reglas. AI Levels te lleva, paso a paso, de usuario de IA a creador de soluciones inteligentes: aprende, crea, automatiza y construye con IA.

When a critical data migration project fails at Baba Bank, an executive orders the entire engineering team onto Performance Improvement Plans. Instead of accepting the blame, a manager redefines the mandate to put the bank's toxic bureaucracy, legacy tech, and broken processes on trial. With thirty days to fix the system, the team must prove the company's machinery is the real bottleneck before they take the fall.

A DNA test is supposed to provide the cold, irrefutable silence of science. But when a stark white envelope arrives at a crowded Parramatta share house, it unravels a decades-old daytime television conspiracy where objective truth was traded for roaring applause. You Are Not My Dad is a gripping exploration of media exploitation, stolen identities, and the heavy human cost of manufactured certainty.
