Happy Saturday, everyone! Being the math-loving literature nerd that I am, I have always been OBSESSED with artificial intelligence.

Happy Saturday, everyone!

Happy Saturday, everyone! October has come and gone, we've made it to the penultimate month of the year, and at least here in Central Europe, fall has arrived in full force.
