An Exceptionally Simple Theory of Everything –...

2024/05/02

I've got a real soft spot for heretics and people who carve their own path outside of the institutions and societal norms and things that everyone is so pressured into because it creates this echo chamber and there's these cookie cutter outcomes, it's not conducive to getting to new ideas, it's not good for figuring out new things and to discover how the world works and invent new things. It's always a real privilege to spend time with a true heretic and today we're hanging out with Garret

Materials for Biomimetic Robots – Rob Shepherd

2024/04/25

I've gotten to spend a little bit of time with Rob Shepherd over the years. He's working on soft robotics and all the different kinds of materials advancements that could really help us make robots that are more naturally integrated into the world. Things like polymer colloidal suspensions as inks for 3d printers so they can fabricate microfluidic devices, synthesizing single micron to millimeter scale parts in glass and silicon and all kinds of other stuff, like tiny gears. Imagine if you were

Two nerds bullshitting about augmented reality tattoos. Pablos: I don't know if this exists, but AR tattoos should totally be a thing. and this is just I think there's a couple different embodiments for this, but basically there should just be an app where you aim it at anybody and they can set their own tattoos on, right? So like if I hold up my phone and I aim it at you, I can see the tattoos that you put on your bod, right? On my phone or goggles or whatever you got. But it would just

3D Printing Meth on the Moon – Lee Cronin

2024/04/18

Lee Cronin is a true mad scientist. He's a professor of chemistry in Glasgow, where he also founded Chemify. This is a company that has invented a new type of approach to accomplish chemistry, very analogous to using the tool chain that we use in computers and then adapting that to chemistry.I think this analogy holds very tightly. He's built this machine called a Chemputer, which is basically a 3D printer for chemistry. To make that work, he had to make a programming language for

If you ever get the chance to hang out with David Eagleman, first of all do it. The first thing you're going to notice is that he's extremely nice, fun, outgoing and very friendly. He's lit up in the brain and he's prolific, he's doing a zillion different things and he's still somehow nice enough to hang out and listen and chat.Davis is a neuroscientist teaching at Stanford. He's got an amazing TED talk you have to watch. He's an author of – I don't know how many books – fiction and

Hacking the Brain – Moran Cerf

A true polymath, Moran started out in the Israeli military, in one of their elite intelligence units. Then ended up working as a hacker in computer security. And to this day is still in demand for that, but he had a weird experience when Francis Crick told him to junk hacking and get into working on neuroscience, and he did.And so Moran's had this amazing career some of the research that underpins things like Neuralink. These days, he's a professor in the business school at Columbia, where we

Two nerds bullshitting about stunts on the internet.Another idea I had a long time ago. That, unfortunately never deployed widely. I prototyped in the late nineties, it was called the Internet Random Mail Reader. For people who don't know the way networks work is like your computer is just broadcasting all the packets out on the network and all the other computers on the network just ignore the ones that aren't addressed to them. This is how networks worked. And so you can just sit

Autopsy of a Failed 3D Printer Company – Riley Knox

Riley Knox is an entrepreneur that I met when I was hanging out in Austin, Texas, and I was just truly impressed with him, his energy, his outlook, his technical approach to building these companies that are hard. He had this company called Accelerate3D that he built to advance 3D printing for manufacturing, make it fast enough and cheap enough that it will be compelling, which has been one of the big challenges in 3D printing. Accelerate3D had some real trouble, unfortunately getting the support it

Years ago, I got to be an advisor for this company called data.world, and at the time, they were just getting started on helping figuring out how do you converge all the data sets that are in the world and help people work with them and combine them and share them. They built this thing that was kind of like GitHub for data.I was interested in it because I could see at the time where the world was going and we're going to need these much more advanced tools for being able to manage data.

AI Beyond Deep Learning – A Conversation with Ryad...

2024/02/16

One of the things that's on the verge of excitement and annoyance for me is the way that Artificial Intelligence work has all kind of converged around deep learning. Deep learning is amazing and super powerful, and we've gotten a lot out of it, but what it has done is, both attracted a lot of people to Artificial Intelligence, but also, steered all the research efforts away from other approaches into deep learning.And you could say that makes some sense, because for a long time, we weren't

Well, if you ever got tired of listening to me, talk. Today's the day when you just get to hear from my buddy, Chris Young, because I wound him up and clicked go, and he just talks, and it's great. He has so much, interesting experience and amazing insights.

Pablos: People are pissed off about social media all the time. They think that Facebook is making people vote for the wrong person. It's still very difficult to find somebody who thinks they voted for the wrong person because of Facebook, but they think everyone else did. Never mind that, there's this kind of, uh, very popular sensibility, which is to blame Facebook for all the problems in the world. They're doing fake news, they're doing, disinformation they're doing , every possible thing that
