A Spoon Full of Computer Science

Computer Science Teacher

I was thinking about data science lately. The problem is that I don’t know much about data science. I learned about data bases in school and worked with them some in industry but that was mostly about how they work internally. But I never did much of anything with real work data applications.

Wolfram|Alpha as the Way to Bring Computational Knowledge Superpowers to ChatGPT

Stephen Wolfram

It happened with our Physics Project in 2020. I myself have been deeply involved with the computational paradigm for many decades, in the singular pursuit of building a computational language to represent as many things in the world as possible in formal symbolic ways. ChatGPT and Wolfram|Alpha. I think about things as a human.

Plugging in: directly linking the brain to a computer

Futurum

Plugging in: directly linking the brain to a computer. Published: Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) link the brain directly to external computers, allowing users to do something just by thinking it. In recent years, BCIs have moved from science fiction to something that could have real potential. How do BCIs work?

Bias, assumptions and emotions: why we think what we think

Futurum

There are so many open questions in cognitive science. I began my undergraduate studies thinking I wanted to do physics, which I really enjoyed, but I realised all the basic questions had been solved, and the remaining questions seemed too complicated to make realistic progress. Follow your nose on what you find most interesting.

Three things I learned about teaching by taking a short course

Robert Talbert, Ph.D.

  One of the main reasons I’m at the AMS/MAA Joint Meetings this week is to take an MAA short course on discrete and computational geometry. I came into the course with zero knowledge of computational geometry, a within-$epsilon$-of-zero knowledge of algorithms, and an extremely rusty skill set in topology.

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

Stephen Wolfram

And all those years we’ve been continuing to build a taller and taller tower of capabilities, progressively expanding the scope of our vision and the breadth of our computational coverage of the world: Version 1.0 In the arc of intellectual history it defines a broad, new, computational paradigm for formalizing the world.
