Bill Bo und seine Kumpanen reisen durch das Land und klauen, was nicht niet- und nagelfest ist. Die bunt zusammengemischte Räuberbande hat das Umherziehen mittlerweile aber gründlich satt und will sesshaft werden - und sie wissen auch schon wo. Die auf einer Insel im Rhein gelegene Burg Dingelstein wäre das perfekte Quartier. Vorher müsste man nur die aktuellen Bewohner vertreiben: Graf von Dingelstein, seine Tochter Desdemona genannt Ding-Ding und ihr Gefolge, allesamt scheinbar leichte Gegner für eine erfahrene Räuberbande.

The Art of Doing Science and Engineering is the expression of what “You and Your Research” outlined. It's a book about thinking; more specifically, a style of thinking by which great ideas are conceived. The book is filled with stories of people performing mighty deeds—but they are not meant simply to be admired. Instead, they are to be aspired to, learned from, and surpassed. Hamming consistently returns to Shannon’s information theory, Einstein’s theory of relativity, Grace Hopper’s work on high-level programming, Kaiser’s work on digital filters, and his own work on error-correcting codes.

Nvidia is the darling of the age of artificial intelligence: the company’s chips are powering the generative-AI revolution, and demand is insatiable.
