I started with "if the coefficients are only 0 and 1, can I find the order?". Which made me see that p(2) would give you order and coefficients with the binary representation. Immediate extension was that if coefs<b, then p(b) will give you all of them. Then it was all about finding a boundary...
Two. p(1) and p(p(1)+1).
Interestingly, it's not at all a given that he has a gun outside of his sport practice. I doubt professional biathletes like him ever bring the gun(s) home. They're expensive and fragile.

Just so that your day gets a little better, a picture of Ishtar
I call it doing the cat
I tend to think that the dreadful inadequateness of the equipment given the menace is also part of the message
Transparently worse
So, dwarf bread?
There are breads in the USA that are not sweet?
Somebody forgot rule one again ?
As you wish :-)
Never attribute to malice what can be explained by a database fuckup
Amusingly I happen to be on exactly that one in my running quest of rereading all discworld. Such a pleasure to reread them from time to time
Is it the one with the… innovative car navigation methodology ?
There has been a great transition in the last 20-40 years where it comes to little things like, oh, the position of women that makes older stuff a little harder to read at times
Jim Baen's Universe?
In script languages. And your script will break if you get the white space wrong
We're in the universe where python won though...
Or maybe existential answers
You sure there are cats in there?
On peut pas t'envoyer de message par defaut?
You know that Elonex was a big PC manufacturer in the uk at the time the book was written, right?
I've been feeling for a while that the fake problems (singularity ! skynet !) are used to cover up the real ones (jobs lost to incompetent AIs, financial bubble, environmental damage, scaling of bad behaviours...).
Interesting, thanks :-)
Pure curiosity, what do you mean by uncached in that context ?
Current generative AIs are not supposed to be sources by themselves (no more than a human), they're supposed to point you to sources when needed. Of course, they kinda fail at it at this point.
I thought the uk was the lair of sir Clive Sinclair ?
Et c’est si dommage
"Plus que la plupart des mecs" aurait-elle pu repondre :-)
