  The Naked Neanderthal - A New...

  What do we really know about our cousins, the Neanderthals? For over a century we saw Neanderthals as inferior to Homo Sapiens. More recently, the pendulum swung the other way and they are generally seen as our relatives: not quite human, but similar enough, and still not equal. Now, thanks to an ongoing revolution in paleoanthropology in which he has played a key part, Ludovic Slimak shows us that they are something altogether different—and they should be understood on their own terms rather than by comparing them to ourselves. As he reveals in this stunning book, the Neanderthals had their own history, their own rituals, their own customs. Their own intelligence, very different from ours. 
   
   
   
  Slimak has travelled around the world for the past thirty years to uncover who the Neanderthals really were. A modern-day Indiana Jones, he takes us on a fascinating archaeological investigation: from the Arctic Circle to the deep Mediterranean forests, he traces the steps of these enigmatic creatures, working to decipher their real stories through every single detail they left behind. 
   
   
   
  A thought-provoking adventure story, The Naked Neanderthal shifts our understanding of deep history—and in the process reveals just how much we have yet to learn.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. The moment you decide to run a large language model on your own hardware, you cross a threshold that most people never even approach. You move from being a passive consumer of AI services to an active participant who owns the technology outright. This shift carries profound implications for privacy, cost, and creative freedom, but it also introduces a problem that the cloud generation rarely thinks about. You now have to choose the hardware that will power your AI, and that choice will determine everything about your experience. 
   
  Your choice of GPU will determine everything about your local LLM experience, from which models you can run to how fast they respond to how much your electricity bill increases each month. This book provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the tradeoffs between VRAM capacity, memory bandwidth, quantization levels, and total cost of ownership. You will learn how to evaluate hardware based on what you actually need to accomplish, not just what the spec sheet says. 
   
  Inside, you'll discover: 
  • Why VRAM capacity is the single most important specification for local LLMs 
  • How quantization lets you run larger models on modest hardware 
  • The NVIDIA advantage and when AMD or Apple Silicon makes sense 
  • How to navigate the used and enterprise GPU market 
  • Multi-GPU configurations and when they are worth the complexity 
  • The hidden costs of running local AI including electricity and maintenance 
  • Budget strategies for building your ideal local LLM system 
   
  The local AI landscape is evolving faster than any hardware market you have ever seen. This book gives you the mental model to evaluate new hardware for years, regardless of which specific products come and go. Master these principles and make the right choice for your needs.

  Dr. Alicia Blando learned during the early days of the HIV epidemic that American medical practices fail to holistically support patients. Seeing a gap in medical care, Dr. Blando started seeking advice from unconventional counselors, such as psychics, mediums and astrologers, as well as learning from indigenous healers. “Open for Interpretation: A Doctor’s Journey into Astrology” follows Dr. Blando’s self-discovery journey through her astrological chart and demonstrates how readers can apply this ancient practice to their own path to self-discovery.  
  In conjunction with Western medicine, Dr. Blando believes that the tenets of astrology can support a person’s health, wellbeing, and self-understanding, and can even offer insight into predispositions for certain diseases and illnesses. Dr. Blando takes readers on her pursuit of life’s age-old question, “Am I walking the right path?” She travels from Manhattan to the Peruvian Amazon, Belize, and Bolivia, and learns about time-proven, holistic methods of healing. In her stunning memoir, she shares her story of finally finding the guide she’s been seeking—and explains how we can all use that map to access our higher selves and untapped potential.  
  In “Open for Interpretation”, Dr. Blando’s expedition off the beaten path leads her to true self-exploration and connection with the world around her, as well as a desire to share her knowledge and experience.
