Tanya Klowden and I have uploaded to the arXiv our preprint “Mathematical methods and human thought in the age of AI“. This is an unabridged version of a solicited article for a forthcoming Blackwell Companion to the Philosophy of Mathematics. …
Whether or not we believe in any god, most of us here in the twenty-first century have the impression of divine rulers overlooking humanity with at least theoretical love and benevolence. They forgive us, they have plans for us, they …
Physicists discovered new properties of the strong force by analyzing what happens when light-speed particles skim by each other. Particle accelerators reveal the heart of nuclear matter by smashing together atoms at close to the speed of light. The high-energy …
Scientists found that mimicking the geometry of natural oyster reefs can significantly improve the survival of young oysters in restoration efforts. New research has identified how artificial habitats can be designed more effectively to restore oyster reefs, drawing on a …
Cesare Tronci‘s new paper “Madelung hydrodynamics of spin-orbit coupling: action principles, currents, and correlations“, while still a preprint (arXiv:2601.10698) (link here) is already attracting attention. It has been written up in the online journal “Medium” in an article entitled “Open-Sourcing …
Lessons From A Year Of Teaching An AI Course I’ve spent the last year teaching AI to people who never asked to learn it. Not developers. Not data scientists. Regular adults in their 50s, 60s, and 70s who keep hearing …
📖Read Time: 15 minutes 📊Readability: Advanced 📐 (Technical knowledge needed) 🔖Core Topics: dimension, vector, space, dimensional, dimensions Abstract It took until the last century for physicists and mathematicians in the Netherlands to question the Euclidean concept of dimension as length, …
Around 66 million years ago, two types of long-necked, four-legged dinosaurs stood out from other sauropods. They had the ability to rise up on their hind legs and stay upright for extended periods. This posture likely helped them reach leaves …
This study presents a comprehensive numerical investigation of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) convection in a conductive fluid subjected to a rotating magnetic field within a rectangular cavity. The model incorporates a convective flow induced by differential heating of opposing vertical walls under …
A catchy tribute to mid-century Soviet hipsters popped up a few years back in a song called “Stilyagi” by lo-fi L.A. hipsters Puro Instinct. The lyrics tell of a charismatic dude who impresses “all the girls in the neighborhood” with …
