At the moment I have preferred to have ChatGPT output code and run that code

For example, I asked ChatGPT to solve a function, in which is suggested to use Newton's method and provided some Python to do so

Copy and paste into repl.it and add some quick assertions on known solutions.

This is all stuff I learnt early in my undergrad (and quickly forgot).

Integrating a Python interpreter into ChatGPT would be awesome

Some accounts in the UK have been offering 6+%

Once you get to needing to be intubated, you pratically only have the one

Isn't this difficult to conclude?

If a patient requiring a ventilator has 100% chance of dying without, or 50% chance of dying from secondary bacterial pneumonia. Then while it is true the use of ventialtors lead to deaths, it doesn't mean it caused more deaths than without

I know in the UK, all publicly funded STEM research must be published as open-access.

The problem is in this case, researchers have to pay a further premium to journals (>£4,000 per paper). So this funnels further public funds to the journals

Google Scholar, Arxiv and Researchgate make a pretty robust solution for paper discovery

I agree. I use it in research to discover solutions or fields I wasn't even aware that exist

Once discovered, I can go search more conventionally for more reputable sources

Are those references just relevant sources, or actual citations?

For my example I knew of the sources already. ChatGPT didn't make the connection

Interestingly, I asked about my field of research it just outputed a combination of the two open-access review papers for the field.

It was nothing special, nor not completely correct, but it is the first time I've been able to pinpoint ChatGPTs source.

It all ends up as slag when smelted

> It really boggles my mind why is this lang so popular.

You are thinking like a software engineer, understandably

If you looks at STEM research fields Python is a solid tool for the fact it is a utlility/scripting tool. All the issues you listed rarely occur in this instance.

Most of the Python I write has a very limited lifetime. Typically shorted than the development time

There are indeed better Python alternatives, but very few use them in comparison

I'm sure they can afford it

But justai.com would also be apt

For myself, writing cheques have been a case of supporting the older generation(s)

> youngest generation of adults

Gen Alpha are yet to become adults

> that I know of

A disclaimer, as I am more than aware my experience is just that, my own.

Just like my experience and viewpoint probably differs with other factors

> Much like the ability to drive a car with a manual transmission, read a map, or write a check, Gen Z is learning less and less about how to work with their hands—and it’s time for that to change.

Ugh. Let's talk down the youngest generation of adults to justify a basic tutorial article.

Ironically no one of Gen Z, that I know of, is unable to do any of those examples.

Isn't "greedflation" just an euphemism for unchecked late-stage capitalism.

So while it might be the "end of capitalism" it is not a mistake, but the final goal

Frequency combs are awesome, and exploit the relationship between temporal and spatial distributions of light.

To have a short (femtosecond) pulse requires it to have a large spectral bandwidth.

Therefore to create a frequency comb to span a large span of wavelengths requires starting with a femtosecond pulsed laser and all the associated optics to amplify, stretch and "comb" the output.

This is very expensive and bulky, there are some interesting approaches to produce chip-scale frequency combs which may make devices such as this more accessible.

Fair enough - I think it is most likely something I read via HN

Hasn't some models (thinking Samsung) been shown to connect to any WiFi network they can?

edit: Appears to be an urban legend, with not much substance to back it up!

Damp and raised relative humidty is neither healthy for the buildings envelope and the occupants

Music - most typically a random selection provided Spotify so that it a genre I enjoy, but not known.

Knowing the lyrics to a song is an instant distraction

Living in the North East of England, we have several dotted around in the surrounding fields of my home. There are about 8-10 turbines across a 360 degree view.

I think they look great, but I agree, there is a limit to how many people will tolerate.

My assumption would be the revenue from Microsofts office products to be at least an order of magnitude larger than Google's

Just my assumption however

NASA cannot take risks of this magnitude, as US Congress will not fund such projects.

SpaceX can take as much (bussiness) risk as Musk deems acceptable

Compared to the student costs to other UK students. It is the exact same - a preferential subsidization would see medical students get a cheaper education within the UK.

It is hardly genuine comparing to the US system, which is the most expensive in the world.

What is the comparative cost to other European countries?

Medical students pay the exact same way as all other university students. They pay via student finance loans for the first four years.

The NHS pays for the fifth and final year, as Student Fianance (England) will not cover the cost.

Medical students have the same student loans of £60k+ as any other student doing a four year degree

There is a difference between defunding and underfunding. It doesn't take much to realise ~6% (average) increase is quickly eroded by inflation and population changes.

NHS funding has been effectivley stagnant [1]

There are also more complex issues beyond a single percentage metric.

But I am sure you know that

Oh dear

It is well-known that the austerity ushered in by Cameron's new Conservative goverment heavily contributed to excess deaths.

After a decade of continued underfunding of public services, leading to a collapsed social and health service, you realise the question really isn't that deep
