HAL's Legacy

Quite a while back, while I was surfing for "fun" bits of information to be included in some course notes, I came across this e-book version of Hal's Legacy.


Hal (or more formally, Hal-9000), as you might recall, is the supercomputer in the science fiction book/movie classic 2001: A Space Odyssey who (yes, I insist, who) eventually committed murder in an endeavor of self-preservation. Hal's Legacy is a great book for students interested in artificial intelligence, natural language processing, robotics, or just geeks in general. And it's online in its entirety for free!

Enjoy!

牛奶+柠檬+蜜糖+薄荷牙膏

肚子里的小瓜总在我进食后呱呱叫,胃又好胀好胀气,心烧了又烧……

四处搜索,多番尝试下,竟然发现以下几个方法可行:
  1. 蜜糖泡水,再加一片柠檬。(冷热随喜)
  2. 牛奶!反正牛奶是最容易汲取钙质等营养的饮品。
  3. 饭后勤刷牙,尤其用薄荷牙膏——据说口腔清爽可以减少胃酸分泌。
