  1. Programming is easy. To learn programming is easy. Start with any available language. I hear that Python is quite popular among scientists and mathematicians. But it really doesn't matter much. Eventually you learn and use programming languages as needed.

    Why? What is wrong with a dictionary definition?
  3. That circle in mind has a size, but it does not have a specific size. Otherwise, can you specify its size?
  4. If the currents are such that the force is not sufficient to hold the superconductor in place (levitating), the superconductor will start falling into the field. This will cause the currents to strengthen ... etc. until the forces balance. -- ?
  5. Perhaps the eddy currents are generated when the superconductor first placed into the field or when the field is turned on. After that they just keep running because of the superconductivity.
  6. But the OP is your proposed reading list, IIUC. Aside from being influenced and being a continuation, did Freud develop / write anything philosophical? Or do you rather consider the psychoanalysis a philosophy?
  7. Freud, Sigmund? Was he a philosopher?

    Both "Lennon" and "Groucho" sound dull and boring, and talking in clichés in this fake debate, IMO.
  9. I would like to do the same but there are so many potential hazards in doing so. There are plenty exotic environments on Earth to visit and to explore.

    Do the chemists here know about this researcher? What do professional scientists here think about this story? etc. One of the world’s most cited scientists, Rafael Luque, suspended without pay for 13 years | Science & Tech | EL PAÍS English (elpais.com)
  11. Better not.
  12. It appears to be real: Italy’s ChatGPT Ban, A Precedent For The Rest Of Europe? (forbes.com)
  13. Or by wiping out the humanity. Among many other possibilities. You have dismissed my two wishes.
  14. Sure, it's possible. In this case, I have to admit that I fell for it. * I think it is rather a bump on the road. They will find a way around. * Maybe the chatbot wrote the article.
  15. Yes, I want to ask you: end of what? PS. The article starts with
  16. I am curious, what did somebody find wrong with my post above. It relates directly to the topic of the thread, continues the story, and belongs to the Science News forum, doesn't it?
  17. For example, having free or attached ear lobes is neutral to fitness.
  18. This is not necessary. Most mutations are neutral. They might not cause any change in phenotype at all until some environmental or other genetic changes occur. Or they might cause a change in phenotype which is indifferent for the fitness. These neutral mutations might spread in population by a 'random walk' process. Or, they might get fixed because of population split. There are other possibilities as well.
  19. Sufficient. But not necessary.
  20. Only advantageous mutation, is incorrect, AFAIK: there is no such restriction. Other modes of changes in allele frequencies exist, such as genetic drift and genetic draft.
  21. The ban works: OpenAI geoblocks ChatGPT in Italy | TechCrunch
  22. Our other great strength is ability to distinguish between imagination and reality. It is not a good sign when this ability is compromised.
  23. Data regurgitation? Obviously, none of them create a new content, only repackage the same one. Google AI researcher resigns after learning Bard uses data from ChatGPT: report - MarketWatch *And make mistakes while doing this.
  24. I think it is big enough, but it should and can be used more efficiently.
