We are governed by an invisible program shaped by Neutrinos—subatomic particles produced in stars that influence all life on Earth. The people, places, and things we are drawn to—or repelled by—are not accidents or random choices. They are part of a deeper pattern encoded at birth. Using computers, NASA technology, and a precise birth time, Steve Rhodes reveals how we each have two birth moments: one for the body and one for the mind. This discovery explains why we feel instinctively connected to certain people and triggered by others—and how our traits are mirrored or rejected by ...

What happens when the factory moves into the garage? Economies of One is a groundbreaking exploration of how artificial intelligence, robotics, and desktop manufacturing are transforming the way we make things—and redefining the economics of production itself. From the forgotten precedent of pre-industrial cottage industries to the fragility of today’s global supply chains, P.C. Anderson traces the historical arc of manufacturing and shows why the pendulum is swinging back toward decentralization. The book introduces readers to the converging technologies—generative AI, vision-guided ...

Think how commonplace it is now for people to ask Siri for the weather forecast, deploy Roomba to clean their homes, or summon Alexa to turn on the lights. The "smart home" market will reach well over $100 billion in the next five years on the promise of products that are truly integrated with our cooking, cleaning, entertainment, security, and hygiene habits. But the reality is, these first-generation "smart" products aren't very smart - yet. We're clearly seeing only the tip of the iceberg in terms of capability and how such products can enhance our lives.

Nous sommes gouvernés par un programme invisible façonné par les Neutrinos — des particules subatomiques produites dans les étoiles qui influencent toute vie sur Terre. Les personnes, lieux et choses qui nous attirent — ou nous repoussent — ne sont pas le fruit du hasard. Ils font partie d’un schéma plus profond codé à la naissance. Grâce aux ordinateurs, à la technologie de la NASA, et à une heure de naissance précise, Steve Rhodes révèle que nous avons chacun deux moments de naissance : un pour le corps et un pour l’esprit. Cette découverte explique pourquoi nous ...
