An exploration of advanced Rust programming concepts through a snippet of asynchronous code, illustrating the depth and complexity of real-world Rust development.
Physicist Sara Imari Walker is using principles of physics to redefine the concept of life. She introduces Assembly Theory, which measures molecular complexity to distinguish living from non-living systems. This approach could help detect unfamiliar life forms on other planets and better understand life on Earth.
In this essay, Lance Fortnow, a computer scientist, argues that by embracing the computations that surround us, we can begin to understand and tame our seemingly random world. He discusses how even seemingly random events, like a coin flip or the mailing of a letter, can be seen as computational processes. The essay also touches on the progress made in artificial intelligence and machine learning, and how they are helping us manage randomness and complexity in our world.
