I'm fairly certain Stephen Wolfram will be one of the few intellectuals today that will still be remembered in 50 years.

he seems to be a good software engineer at least, but what about his science? does it all revolve around re-modelling the universe in his software?

He got famous solving quantum field theory problems

You're right. And it's also important to be mindful that the LLMs can also translate between human intent and formal queries incorrectly, so they still shouldn't be fully trusted even when integrated with a more deterministic system.

Isn't most of the value of Mathematica in the standard library instead of the language?

Yes, definitely! So we also try to implement as much of it as possible. Currently we support over 900 functions of the 6000 from Mathematica!

Call me when you have the upgoat/downgoat functions implemented :-)

Referring to https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/71631/upgoat-or... I assume.

Britain has always had challenges, and the side-effects manifest in predictable ways. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdVB-R6Duso Over a human lifetime, the immediate economic decisions do change macroeconomic postures. For example, consider variable costs of dental services for braces, fillings, crowns, root canals, extraction, bone loss, dentures, and supporting pharmaceuticals/radiology. Then consider a one-time s…

the historically underfunded NHS took a massive hit to its funding at the start of the credit crunch, and then again in covid. neither cut was restored, whilst patient numbers have steadily risen (UK needs population growth to fuel property prices to avoid recession - 20% of gdp is construction). people are dying because hospitals cant afford to operate. getting deals on volume purchases is irrelevant

>people are dying because hospitals cant afford to operate

In general, around 24% of health care costs are spent in the final year of life. It is also legal here for folks to request a painless early exit from palliative and end-of-life care, but depends on individuals faith and philosophical stance.

1. How many local kids do you personally know made it into medical school?

2. Is your national debt and %debt to GDP ratio growing?

3. Is your middle class job market in growth?

If the answer is 0, yes, and no... than the core problems may become more clear. Best of luck =3

he seems to think his times better spent on software than science it seems. i take it he didnt really crack anything of worth on the physics side then?
