Just finished reading @blaiseaguera.bsky.social 's book “What Is Intelligence?”
It took me a while. However, it is an amazing read! All 3 pats deserve to be read, although the first 2 parts I enjoyed most.
Above all, this book totally changed my view on AI (especially AGI)! Big fan.

A new special issue of Philosophical Transactions B takes on one of science’s biggest questions: how life begins.

Rather than retracing Earth’s history, the authors look for the universal conditions that could make life possible anywhere, approaching the question from many fields and angles.

a while ago i was programming very little in Julia, which looks like a fun language too. but in my field, it never has this sound ecosystem of libraries that Python3 offers.

i'm sorry to hear that you feel that way about python. the last 3 years (time flies) i was coding a lot in C and C++.
for us, the ones who learn programming back in the eighties, Python was (and i think still is) that modern language you talked about.

i feel the same way! it's a full fledged language.

Lana, what is your favourite programming language? I am not judging. I am just interested to hear. what is the language you get your daily work done?

i have to think more about the separating logic from the logistic argument. this is a good discussion we have here.
look, in the end, it is a language. it is the feeling when you write in this language. And this can fall on both sides. i love to code in Python3.

i read your post. i think it is interesting what you say! for me R is just Pandas. and as you said, the examples were very similar. for e.g. single cell analysis, i prefer e.g. scanpy and squidpy over seurat. manipulating plots, is maybe not that easy, as you highlighted.

I learned my computer skills back in the days with Basic (C=64) and Pascal. And Python is so much closer to these languages than R.
I like to read your post, but i will not go back to R :" ).

i worked in bioinformatics (and now mathematical biology) for more than 21 years. i worked with Perl, R / bioconductor, and Python3, and i can't help, from all these languages i like Python3 the most.

i am not yet finished reading... however, what i read so far, this book is amazing! i highly recommend reading it. i think Blaise Agüera y Arcas is here onto something. a deeper, profound understanding of what really goes on. life is computation. excellent!

this is interesting! yesterday i stumbled over this. a thermodynamics computing accelerator. maybe in short term more feasible than a quantum computer accelerator? one will definitely not replace the other.

More soon! :-) @physicell.bsky.social

this link is broken :"(.

is it not like this with every accelerator (like e.g. GPUs), they solve a problem faster than the general purpose CPU (e.g. linear algebra) but they do not replace the CPU. and quantum computers are accelerators.
In any case, nice video link!
