Listen Later

Stephen Wolfram answers general questions from his viewers about science and technology as part of an unscripted livestream series.

Questions include: What's your opinion of the usability and programmability of current computers in comparison to the ones you have used ind your live? Do you have any wish regarding future computers? - How do you think we can fix the shortcomings of the current neural network architectures? - Why does hitting a bucket of water on the side with a tennis ball make the water surface splash with plenty of tiny droplets which go very high, but hitting it with the same force with the foot make the water move as a big lump which don't splash. Is it analogous to the photoelectric effect? - What sources do you use for keeping up with science news? - How can I get my PhD in physics at age 20 like you? - Were you involved with the SICP course over at MIT? - Why computational science is not spreading among high schools?
