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 math that powers 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.

Bikes Will Save The World - Special Edition 56:17

大约1年之前56:17

56:17

Today we demonstrate that not only is Michael's fancy microphone broken, that he doesn't remember anything once it's happened, but that we agree that Bikes Can Save The World. There is also a quiz about pasta (although it's not about pasta, it's PASTA) Today we interview Will Allen from Olive. Life is better, for us and the planet, when we do it on a bike. So Will and team created Olive — the really low-maintenance bike that makes riding not just easy, but a pleasure. No flats, no grease, no weight, no hassle. Just a smooth ride. The best bit is fans of TZFC can get a whopping £100 off their own bike by following the link below and using the discount code TZFC in the basket. Whoop whoop! https://rideolive.com/ Peace love and happiness Tim and Michael…

Oh Look! It's Amstel Gold (sort of) and also the ADHD and Autism special 37:24

Well, the clocks have gone forward here in the UK, so we talk about Amstel Gold. Michael chooses Remco and Femme (are they even in it?). Also: I didn't forget it was Paris Roubaix Honest. That's in the next episode. Today we go bubble bursting: we talk a lot about Autism and ADHD, it's all my personal view on it - and hopefully, if you're listening to it you might get something from it.

Did you know the tour of Flanders is named after Ned Flanders? Tim and Michael talk Cobbles and Calories 35:09

大约1年之前35:09

35:09

Michael is all excited about the Tour Of Flanders. Michael dreams of learning Dutch so Tim teaches him some. We hope that Friend Of The Podcast Rino and his fellow countrymates aren't upset by their pronunciation. Michael slightly loses control of language, time, and consciousness, and mentions Tom Boonen many times. Surprising about of cycling content, but don't fear listeners - we also do some bubble bursting. Today it's all about calories and exercise. Our minds are a bit blown (or burnt?) - is yours too?

Tim and Michael Lose Control of the Podcasting Process - Fermenting special and more bubbles to burst 36:17

大约1年之前36:17

36:17

In this episode, we talk about Pizzas, Fermenting, The Microbiome, Tim tells a world beating joke, and I get confused a lot. Will Michael choose some Cyclists who aren't in Milan San Remo as his top tip? Yes! "Tom Pidcock will not race Saturday’s Milan-San Remo due to a concussion, Ineos Grenadiers officials confirmed Wednesday." Ga! I also double up and get confused about the women's race: "And while there’s no women’s Milan-San Remo, the Trofeo Alfredo Binda, a major stop on the women’s WorldTour and a pillar of the former women’s World Cup series, takes place the next day". I wasn't making up that there was supposed to be, last year the UCI said their was going to be one this year! Double Ga! We get to 18 mins before we find a bubble to burst- this one is a lovely bubbly fermenting thing. I think it's a good one though - I'm all excited about it. Series 4 is all about conversation - if you want to hear our usual thing of interviews and this, please check out our earlier episodes :) www.tzfc.co.uk…

Michael and Tim are back! Can they remember how to turn their mics on? Will Michael create an easier-to-follow Quiz? Can he go 5 minutes without mentioning Cyclocross? Was that really Marcel Kittel? In today's episode of The Taylor Zwift Fanclub, we talk about bubble bursting through talking about the spring classics (spoiler: Michael is excited), conspiracy theories, mischievous usage of the new Zwift Coffee Break feature, running, how exercise works (spoiler....it's not what I thought it was), 5-minute power, and we even throw in a bad joke or two. In other words, normal service is resumed. Please like, share, subscribe and give us a review if you like what you hear. It helps us keep doing the things we do.

Wrap up, get a lovely cup of Horlicks and listen to Tim and MP chat to each other about a lot of things that don't really matter. I get all forgetful and repeat myself. Tim talks about TTing and falling off a lot. I realise driving is mad. I don't even mention Cyclocross. It's like one of those white noise playlists. And was that really Wout? Links mentioned in the pod: Geraint isn't in W3W, but cyclist is, how exciting: what3words /// The simplest way to talk about location Join us next time, promise we'll make it more exciting.
