Bandwidth vs frequency bandwidth in a network

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the concept of "bandwidth" in relation to signal processing and its properties. The term "bandwidth" refers to the range of frequencies within a given medium, specifically defined as the difference between the maximum frequency (fmax) and the minimum frequency (fmin). The conversation highlights that while Wikipedia provides information on bandwidth, it assumes prior knowledge of related terms such as Hertz, frequency, low pass filter, and spectrum, which may lead to confusion for those unfamiliar with the concepts. For those interested in computer networks, a separate Wikipedia page on bandwidth in computing is suggested for further clarification.

I can't translate it 100% correctly, but my course notes describe two different properties of a medium:
Literal translation:

"The band width." - ?

"The band width of frequencies" - as the difference of fmax and fmin

What does each exactly refer to, and what's its name in english?

Wikipedia is unhelpful and confusing.

It may refer to lots of things, and its name in english is bandwidth.
It seems perfectly explained at wikipedia. However, the reader is supposed to know the meaning of "Hertz, "frequency", "low pass filter", "spectrum", etc...
 
If you are interested in computer networks, maybe this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandwidth_(computing)" can help.

Thread 'Is AI hype?'

In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...

Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'

I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
