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.

Commonwealth CW Contest March 8th -9th. New rules, DXpeditions to rare countries various categories. Great contest for newcomers and regular participants.
Kevin, VK6LW talks about the most important aspect of your station….The antenna system. With some practical ideas about design and construction, this podcast features the Tri OCF. A simple multiband wire antenna with some gain at low angles on the HF bands.
Emir D4DX (E77DX) joins Kevin VK6LW to talk about his recent visit to Cape Verde Islands for the CQWW CW contest. A fantastic result with nearly 10000 QSO’s and 21M points in the single operator category.

Steve VE6WZ shares his thoughts on beverage antennas and explains the interesting development, improvement and detailed evaluation of his new BOG/BOL for 160m. For more information check out his YouTube channel @VE6WZ
After some tower problems I designed and built a new X Beam with stacked elements 2 over 2 on my second tower. Intended to use this for CQWWCW…however some problems with 80/160 prevented an all band effort this year. So it was just 40m single band for me. See more on instagram @vk6lw
New antenna for 160m, also working on the 80m antenna with a second element to be added for some gain, with switching direction from the shack. Propagation on 160m, upgrade to HF tower crank up system. RX antennas, QRP CW on HF bands using simple antennas. New Shack and upcoming Contests.

BERU Commonwealth CW contest, 11th/12th March. Good condx forecast for HF Bands. Great contest for both serious and casual participants. Low band antennas with 80m switched 2ele/ omnidirectional array. Homebrew Bandpass filters for SO2R with automatic band switching. EDZ antenna for 20m, with good performance on 15m and 10m also.
