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.

When an unexpected parcel arrived in the mail room of the Whiskey Tangent Studios, we were a little puzzled but excited. And upon opening the package, our excitement mounted as we realized that the sample we thought we were getting, was actually the most beautiful whiskey-related thing we'd ever held in our hands. The octagonal black container is incredible, and the bottle with its surprise coin-containing stopper was even better. But, then we were like, hold up, how good is the whiskey going to be? Is the packaging just window dressing for a run-of-the-mill spirit? Or is it completely out of this world? (wink) Well, you know what do to find out!

22天之前20:24

Flashback to our last night in Kentucky, when we visited a random tavern and tried some amazing whiskeys. One of them was this very Bourbon, which turned out to be created by the former owner of not only the tavern but also the hotel attached to it. And that person ended up being the guy who resurrected his great-grandfather’s pre-Prohibition brand too! So, who was this person? Which tavern and inn was it? Which old-timey brand did he create? And is his new stuff any good? Tune in and find out!

After being released this past summer, we've only just recently seen it in our local liquor stores and were finally able to get our hands on a bottle.

Gabe, Christian, and Mike are back to help us evaluate the latest expression from Blue Note, a company whose whiskeys haven't let us down yet. And because it's a honey-infused expression, we end up comparing it to the Garrison Brothers Honey Dew Bourbon we tasted a few months ago. (But really it was just as an excuse to drink more whiskey.) So, how does the Blue Note taste on its own? And can it hold a beeswax candle to the Garrison's? Tune in an find out!
