The Origin of the Research University—Asterisk
Universities have existed for more than a thousand years — and for almost all of that time, they weren’t centers of research. What changed in 19th century Germany?asteriskmag.com
There was a time when it seemed trivial to me that human intelligence was computable, in the sense that it can be emulated in a computer. But the truth is that there seems to be a certain consensus among experts that it is not, that it is basically inseparable from our biology and social environment.
This article gives a good historical context to this issue from the point of view of the attempt to recreate intelligence in machines.

The image features a modern computer setup with a focus on a monitor displaying FL Studio 2025. The monitor is centrally positioned on a wooden desk, with a sleek silver frame. The screen shows the FL Studio interface, including various audio tracks and waveforms, with the text "FL STUDIO 2025 What's New?" prominently displayed in the center. The FL Studio logo, an orange stylized fruit, is visible on the left side of the screen.
To the left of the monitor, there is a black speaker with a circular orange center, and to the right, another similar speaker. A small potted succulent plant adds a touch of greenery to the desk. A modern lamp with a gold finish stands to the left of the monitor, and a keyboard and mouse are positioned in front of the monitor. The background is a neutral-toned wall, and the overall setup is well-organized and aesthetically pleasing.

The image shows a man taking a selfie in an industrial facility. He is wearing a dark blue t-shirt with a logo on the left side and a circular pendant around his neck. The facility has a spacious layout with large machinery and equipment visible in the background. The ceiling is high with exposed beams and fluorescent lighting. There are various pipes and conduits running along the walls, and the floor is concrete. A sign in the foreground reads "BEWEGT PAUSE," indicating a pause in movement. The overall atmosphere is clean and organized, with a focus on industrial processes.
