    Do you have cite as you wrote functionality implemented ? Current research paper tools like Zotero do fine for the organisation and management part. The major limitations are poor …

    Your code is not in that thing. That thing has merely read your code and adjusted its own generative code. It is not directly using your code any more than programmers are using pr…

    What a long winded article on what has been known to scientists for decades as "emergence". Emergent properties are systems level properties that are not obvious/predictable from p…

    And yet, most people do not care. The elephant in the room is, did the gene editing work? If yes, are those babies protected from HIV? If yes...the world is not the same anymore.

    Oh yes. The same could be said about IE. In fact, I personally have no problems with IE implementing new features. The problem with IE was never that it was standards-incompliant. …

    No, it doesn't have complete dominance. But it has more share than all the other players combined. https://www.w3counter.com/globalstats.php That is a dominating position making it…
