Thiago R. Pinto - Our changing relationship with music and its new practical function
Simon Parkin - The Brain in the Machine
Steve Grand. This guy! Holy smokes. He’s programming animals. But he’s not mimicking the behavior of animals in code. He’s programming them on an almost cellular level. Programming virtual neurons and enzymes. Animals get hungry, need to go hunting. To go hunting, they need to scout the surroundings. To do that they need to learn to move. Etc. It’s an insanely big project. That he does by himself!
Wait But Why - How Tesla Will Change The World
Another great explanation about the change in climate and its causes is done on Wait But Why. They use words that humans actually use and understand. The article at large is about how Tesla will change the world, but starts off by explaining the problem with gas/petrol cars. I - nerd alert - especially love the graph of where our power is coming from and how it’s used. And the dog in the cave with pork metaphor is hilarious as well.
The Tim Ferriss Show - How to Think Like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos
Ik dacht, nog een podcast kan er wel bij! The Tim Ferriss Show “deconstructs excellence”. En die excellence haalt hij wel binnen met z’n gasten. Deze keer Peter Diamandis (naast 10 andere accolades oprichter van Singularity University). Hij praat over groot denken, over het “Operating System” van je brein (hoe je informatie verwerkt) en wat de grote ondernemers van nu gemeen hebben.
