Are LLMs the end of computer programming (as we know it)?
Ben and Ryan discuss how LLMs are changing the industry and practice of software engineering, a notorious Crash Bandicoot bug, and communication via series of tubes.
Read moreConstellations in Mathematica
Mathematica has data on stars and constellations. Here is Mathematica code to create a list of constellations, sorted by the declination (essentially latitude on the celestial sphere) of the brightest star in the constellation. constellations = EntityList["Constellation"] sorted = SortBy[constellations, -#["BrightStars"][[1]]["Declination"] &] We can print the name of each constellation

Suppose you have an nth degree polynomial with complex coefficients p(z) = anzn + an-1zn-1 + … + a0 and you want to find some circle that is guaranteed to contain all the zeros of p. Cauchy found such a circle in 1829. The zeros of p lie inside the

I was reading a theorem giving conditions for a divergent series to have a convergent subseries and had a sort of flashback. I studied nonlinear PDEs in grad school, which amounted to applied functional analysis. We were constantly proving or using theorems about sequences having convergent subsequences, often subsequences that

Ben, Ryan, and Eira convene to discuss return-to-office mandates, what’s surprising about employee attrition in 2023, and how technology can preserve digital records of cultural heritage sites before they’re lost for good.
Read moreHot takes in IO: How machine learning is zapping life into work training
Machine learning, a subset of artificial intelligence, has rapidly transformed into an indispensable tool across various industries. By leveraging algorithms that parse data, learn from it, and then make decisions or predictions, machine learning is not just automating tasks but enhancing human decision-making. In the realm of professional development, machine
