Artificial intelligence is evolving at an unprecedented pace—what does that mean for the future of technology, venture capital, business, and even our understanding of ourselves? Award-winning journalist and writer Anil Ananthaswamy joins us for our latest episode to discuss his latest book Why Machines Learn: The Elegant Math Behind Modern AI . Anil helps us explore the journey and many breakthroughs that have propelled machine learning from simple perceptrons to the sophisticated algorithms shaping today’s AI revolution, powering GPT and other models. The discussion aims to demystify some of the underlying mathematical concepts that power modern machine learning, to help everyone grasp this technology impacting our lives–even if your last math class was in high school. Anil walks us through the power of scaling laws, the shift from training to inference optimization, and the debate among AI’s pioneers about the road to AGI—should we be concerned, or are we still missing key pieces of the puzzle? The conversation also delves into AI’s philosophical implications—could understanding how machines learn help us better understand ourselves? And what challenges remain before AI systems can truly operate with agency? If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform.

The Lonely Triathlete - triathlon training and motivation for the masses

Home de séries•Feed

In this podcast I share the trials and tribulations of a middle-aged amateur triathlete. Take me along with you during your workout to hear about my personal experiences of training and racing and get some motivation to utilize for your own workouts. I'm not a coach. I'm not an interviewer. I'm a fellow triathlete! Feel free to reach me with comments or feedback at thelonelytriathlete@gmail.com

Send us a text What makes a "legit" triathlete? Doing an Ironman? What if I don't want to do an Ironman, what if I don't have the time to train, what if all I can do is Sprint distances, does that make me a lesser triathlete? NO. If you race any distance, it all involves swimming, cycling and running as best as you can and THAT is the definition of a triathlete. Hold your head proud. You [name] are a TRIATHLETE!…

Triathlon Training Motivations 20:45

20:45

Send us a text I realized that I have had many different motivations to train over the years. What keeps you sitting on the bike in sweaty discomfort? What drives you outside in the rain for that long run? What gets you to the pool when all you want to do is stay snuggled up in bed under warm sheets? I would propose that whatever it is today might be different tomorrow.…

Send us a text I did it, I officially signed up for Ironman 70.3 Victoria in May. In my research I learned that the jury seems to be out on the proper amount of carbohydrates to ingest per hour - is it 90 grans or as much as you can physically tolerate? I also observed a lot of angst amount newbie triathlete about the optimal training plan. Oh, and I spent some time writhing on my bathroom floor.…

The Importance of Being Present During Training 13:58

Send us a text Many of us, myself included, rush through training to just get it done. We mindlessly prepare our bags, drinks, equipment, perhaps drive to a location, do the workout and then get back home. And repeat. And repeat. What if we were more aware of all of these small steps in preparation and very aware of the actual training session itself - how it felt, what it looked like? What if we were more present during our life, wouldn't that make life itself more interesting?…

Send us a text I used to train by heart rate zone, loved it. Then I moved to training by pace, loved it even more. Then I discovered training by RPE and it's been a game changer. Free yourself from your smartwatch and learn to run by feel. Incidentally, all my podium finishes have been after racing by feel. I know, seems unlikely but it's true.
