  A vibrant account of how measurement has invisibly shaped our world, from ancient civilizations to the modern day. 
   
   
   
  From the cubit to the kilogram, the humble inch to the speed of light, measurement is a powerful tool that humans invented to make sense of the world. In this revelatory work of science and social history, James Vincent dives into its hidden world, taking listeners from ancient Egypt, where measuring the annual depth of the Nile was an essential task, to the intellectual origins of the metric system in the French Revolution, and from the surprisingly animated rivalry between metric and imperial, to our current age of the "quantified self." At every turn, Vincent is keenly attuned to the political consequences of measurement, exploring how it has also been used as a tool for oppression and control. 
   
   
   
  Beyond Measure reveals how measurement is not only deeply entwined with our experience of the world, but also how its history encompasses and shapes the human quest for knowledge.

  Nostradamus - The Prophesies of...

  Michel de Nostredame, referred to as Nostradamus in Latin, was a French astronomer, doctor, and presumed seer mostly known for his work Les Prophéties, a collection of 942 poetic quatrains supposedly predicting future events. In the year 1555, the book was first released. 
  Since the release of his Les Prophéties, Nostradamus has acquired a very large following of followers who, in addition to the majority of the well-known press, credit him with properly anticipating many essential historic events. 
  Many of scholastic sources deny that Nostradamus had any true super prophetic skills, saying that the connections he made between international events and his quatrains were the repercussion of misconceptions or mistranslations (at times purposeful). 
  These experts also point out that Nostradamus' predictions are usually uncertain, meaning they might be applied to practically anything, and for that reason are unhelpful in developing whether or not the writer has true prophetic powers. 
  In this book, let’s take a look at what he predicted and if any of it came true.

  Large language models (LLMs) have transformed natural language processing, but deploying them in applications introduces numerous technical challenges. Large Language Models: The Hard Parts offers a clear, practical examination of the limitations developers and AI engineers face when building LLM-based applications. With a focus on implementation pitfalls (not just capabilities), this book provides actionable strategies supported by reproducible Python code and open source tools. 
  Listeners will learn how to navigate key obstacles in application evaluation, input management, testing, and safety. Designed for builders and technical product leads, this guide emphasizes practical solutions to real-world problems and promotes a grounded understanding of LLM constraints and trade-offs. 
  Discover how to design testing and evaluation strategies for nondeterministic systems; manage context, RAG, and long-context retrieval; address output inconsistency and structural unreliability; implement safety and content moderation frameworks; explore alignment challenges and mitigation techniques; and leverage open source models locally.
