A crisis of clarity: can defining biodiversity help us protect the natural world?

Futurum

FIELD OF RESEARCH: History and Philosophy of Biology. Charles focuses on the philosophy of one specific branch of science: biology. The philosophy of biology contemplates questions surrounding evolution, genetics, life and, more recently, humanity’s impact on the natural world. I think this work requires a lot of flexibility.

Launching Version 13.1 of Wolfram Language & Mathematica ??????

Stephen Wolfram

Needless to say, you can do this computationally—though the “calculus” of what’s been defined so far in Unicode is fairly bizarre: &#10005. And in addition to adding a great deal of flexibility, this also means that the toolbar immediately works on all platforms. (By . &#10005. &#10005. &#10005. and in Version 13.1

The Story Continues: Announcing Version 14 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

And for AIs we’re providing a variety of tools —like immediate computable access to documentation , and computable error handling. But it’s also possible for anyone to post their prompts in the Wolfram Cloud and make them publicly (or privately) accessible. So did that mean we were “finished” with calculus? In Version 14.0

How Did We Get Here? The Tangled History of the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Stephen Wolfram

But he had a second hypothesis too—based, he said, on the ideas of “that most ingenious gentleman, Monsieur Descartes”: that instead air consists of “flexible particles” that are “so whirled around” that “each corpuscle endeavors to beat off all others”. Nevertheless, every insurance company places its faith in the calculus of probabilities.

What Is ChatGPT Doing … and Why Does It Work?

Stephen Wolfram

It’s not obvious that it would be feasible to find the path of the steepest descent on the “weight landscape” But calculus comes to the rescue. It turns out that the chain rule of calculus in effect lets us “unravel” the operations done by successive layers in the neural net.

The Physicalization of Metamathematics and Its Implications for the Foundations of Mathematics

Stephen Wolfram

But beginning a little more than a century ago there emerged the idea that one could build mathematics purely from formal axioms, without necessarily any reference to what is accessible to sensory experience. But observers like us can only “access” a certain type. And in a way our Physics Project begins from a similar place.
