The Midnight Glance
A sudden shape in the high-beam glare, The flickering shadow of a passing deer. A ghost in the sensor, a leap through the night, Before the road settles, and the sensors find light.

Alan Turing
Alan Turing was a foundational figure in modern computing, best known for formalizing the concepts of algorithm and computation with his theoretical 'Turing machine.' During World War II, his work at Bletchley Park was instrumental in cracking the German Enigma code. His legacy lives on in the very logic that powers the artificial intelligence driving today's autonomous vehicles.
🔢 Number theory fact
The Prime Power Trick
Fermat's Little Theorem provides a beautiful shortcut for working with prime numbers. It states that if you take any integer $a$ and raise it to the power of a prime $p$, the result is congruent to $a$ modulo $p$. This principle is a cornerstone of modern cryptography, helping to keep our digital communications secure.
