What can stars reveal about galaxies and what can cultures reveal about stars?

Futurum

I liked all kinds of science when I was at school – biology, chemistry, physics. I was used to solving maths, physics, and chemistry problems, but they were invariably problems that someone had set and, therefore, knew the answer to. I have also been advocating for STEM programmes to develop more flexibility and to be more accessible.

Can AI Solve Science?

Stephen Wolfram

Yes, there can be a lot of flexibility in this model. Perhaps even the architecture of the network can change. Probably it’s because neural nets capture the architectural essence of actual brains. But what if we just set up neural nets with a given architecture, and pick their weights at random? So why does this work?
