Creating software that works for everyone

Futurum

Smart parking app software architecture and key software structures. Software engineering, or software development, is the branch of computer science that involves designing and developing software – the instructions and programs that enable computers to function. I was first exposed to computers in my mid-teens.

Can AI Solve Science?

Stephen Wolfram

But what I want to do here is to discuss what amount to deeper questions about AI in science. Three centuries ago science was transformed by the idea of representing the world using mathematics. What if all we ever want to know about are things that align with computational reducibility?

What Is ChatGPT Doing … and Why Does It Work?

Stephen Wolfram

Then we might make a mathematical guess, like that perhaps we should use a straight line as a model: We could pick different straight lines. It’s just something that’s mathematically simple, and we’re used to the fact that lots of data we measure turns out to be well fit by mathematically simple things.

Morph with the wind: shape-changing buildings

Futurum

From an architectural standpoint, it is the part of the building that people will see, so its aesthetic traits are important. Buildings are also becoming taller and more flexible, as lighter building materials and more sophisticated designs are developed, but wind-induced vibrations only get stronger and more serious with height.

Multicomputation: A Fourth Paradigm for Theoretical Science

Stephen Wolfram

Many would say that modern exact science was launched in the 1600s with the introduction of what we can call the “ mathematical paradigm ”: the idea that things in the world can be described by mathematical equations—and that their behavior can be determined by finding solutions to these equations.
