It’s worth noting that while a language model like Alex Tihonov/Adobe Stock Photo ChatGPT can provide an approximation of a sermon, it can not replicate the full experience of a live sermon delivered by a human preacher, the human element of preaching, including voice inflection, emotional expression, and audience interaction, is an important part of the preaching experience that a language model can not replicate. – Alex Tihonov/Adobe Stock Photo ChatGPT	Found on CNN 1 year ago
I think to a first approximation the forward looking proposals would have very little impact on inflation because they're spread out over time and give the Fed a lot of time to react and are mostly paid for. – American Enterprise Institute.Jason Furman	Found on CNN 3 years ago
This project that is planned for India consisting of 50 Saphonians producing 20 kilowatts of power, a total of one mega watt, will be a wind farm. This power produced in south India, could meet the demands of a small village of 1000 houses even if the energy will be directly injected to the general Indian electricity network. But it's an approximation to ease the understanding for viewers: it's about 1000 houses in India. – Anis Aouini	Found on Reuters 8 years ago
A poor relation is the most irrelevant thing in nature, a piece of impertinent correspondence, an odious approximation, a haunting conscience, a preposterous shadow, lengthening in the noon-tide of our prosperity. He is known by his knock. – Charles Lamb	added by anonymous 11 years ago
I think that it is a relatively good approximation to truth — which is much too complicated to allow anything but approximations — that mathematical ideas originate in empirics. But, once they are conceived, the subject begins to live a peculiar life of its own and is ... governed by almost entirely aesthetical motivations. In other words, at a great distance from its empirical source, or after much "abstract" inbreeding, a mathematical subject is in danger of degeneration. Whenever this stage is reached the only remedy seems to me to be the rejuvenating return to the source: the reinjection of more or less directly empirical ideas. – John von Neumann	added by anonymous 11 years ago
It is the mark of an educated mind to rest satisfied with the degree of precision which the nature of the subject admits and not to seek exactness where only an approximation is possible. – Aristotle	added by anonymous 14 years ago
All exact science is dominated by the idea of approximation. – Bertrand Russell	added by anonymous 14 years ago
