- ChatGPT Gets Its “Wolfram Superpowers”!—Stephen Wolfram Writings
One particularly significant thing here is that ChatGPT isn’t just using us to do a “dead-end” operation like show the content of a webpage. Rather, we’re acting much more like a true “brain implant” for ChatGPT—where it asks us things whenever it needs to, and we give responses that it can weave back into whatever it’s doing. It’s rather impressive to see in action. - Everything I, an Italian, thought I knew about Italian food is wrong | Financial Times
When a community finds itself deprived of its sense of identity, because of whatever historical shock or fracture with its past, it invents traditions to act as founding myths - Understanding the .NET ecosystem: The evolution of .NET into .NET 7
This post covers: the history of .NET, leading to the development of .NET Core, and the position of .NET 7 in the .NET ecosystem - Something Pretty Right: A History of Visual Basic | Retool
How Visual Basic became the world’s most dominant programming environment, its sudden fall from grace, and why its influence is still shaping the future of software development. - Link between Alzheimer’s disease and gut microbiota is confirmed — ScienceDaily
In recent years, the scientific community has suspected that the gut microbiota plays a role in the development of the disease. A team now confirms the correlation, in humans, between an imbalance in the gut microbiota and the development of amyloid plaques in the brain, which are at the origin of Alzheimer’s disease. - Dennis Ritchie Thesis – And the Typewriting Devices in the 1960s
In many ways the story of Dennis Ritchie’s doctoral thesis is a metaphor for his life story… groundbreaking, transcendent, shrouded in mystery. - You can’t lead a team with a spreadsheet. | by Matt Schellhas | Mar, 2023 | Medium
You might be able to lead your team with a spreadsheet, but you’ll never lead them well by ignoring human nature. If you can’t measure it, you still need to manage it. - Caricaturing Noam Chomsky – by Gary Marcus
Four attacks on Chomsky’s recent op-ed, and why their punches don’t quite land. - Wonder Studio: this AI-powered tool might be a preview of the future of VFX
Wonder Studio, an upcoming AI-powered tool that “automatically animates, lights and composes CG characters into a live-action scene”. - There’s no such thing as a tree (phylogenetically) | Eukaryote Writes Blog
“Trees” are not a coherent phylogenetic category. On the evolutionary tree of plants, trees are regularly interspersed with things that are absolutely, 100% not trees. This means that, for instance, either:
The common ancestor of a maple and a mulberry tree was not a tree.
The common ancestor of a stinging nettle and a strawberry plant was a tree.
And this is true for most trees or non-trees that you can think of. - [Spoilers Extended] The Nightmen Cometh: AKA how Jaime makes his escape : asoiaf
Dit is met enige voorsprong de beste theorie die ik in zeer lange tijd las. - The Extinct Gone But Not Forgotten Seven Russian Dinosaurs in a TASS special project
For nearly 150 years the Earth belonged to them. Gargantuan and tiny. Gregarious and solitary. Overgrown with bone armor or with gentle fluff. These dinosaurs, or, literally, “terrible lizards” populated the whole planet. Except for what is now the territory of Russia. At least, this had been the common belief up to the beginning of last century. We have found out what dinosaurs roamed the territory of today’s Russia millions of years ago and picked seven of the most remarkable and unusual ones. - Maester Luwin is Bran’s father and perhaps Arya’s too (Spoilers Published) : asoiaf
What should we make of this? It doesn’t seem like Greenbeard has any reason to lie. Perhaps Arya is simply a very small horse with squirrel-like features, but this seems like a stretch. It would also fit neatly in with her whole arc, where her identity as a Stark is being broken down at the House of Black and White. Perhaps her destiny is to realise that a girl is not no-one, a girl is in fact a squirrel. - Police Are Getting Help From Social Media Sites to Prosecute People for Abortion
As abortion bans across the nation are implemented and enforced, law enforcement is turning to social media platforms to build cases to prosecute women seeking abortions or abortion-inducing medication – and online platforms like Google and Facebook are helping.
