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.

Join Julie Potiker as she leads you through this guided meditation where you will use your breath to relax - and focus on what it is you need right now. She completes the meditation with the poem, "Rose-Breasted", by Kai Coggin, from the book, "Mother of Other Kingdoms, poems by Kai Coggin".

"Rose-Breasted", by Kai Coggin

(for Pheucticus Iudovicianus)

To be rose-breastedmp

as in the grosbeak that graced

the feeder today on my lunch breath,

me, in my teaching clothes, bright red beret,

black shirt buttoned to my neck covered in roses,

somehow a reflection before this auspicious landing.

I sit on the bed with my shoes on because I have to leave again soon--

my wife has been sneezing and coughing, so I brought her a pharmacy run

of cough drops allergy meds Kleenex, and from bed she's been watching

the spring migration landing outside our bedroom window.

I bring both our binoculars to bed and for a moment here we are,

lunch-break lovebirds peering close and hopeful, and there!

A sudden flash of black white and roses - he lands!

A rare vibrant specimen, gorgeous Rose-breasted Grosbeak,

his feathers

red like summer tomatoes

red like fire-engine cry

a red blazing sunrise cutting through the sky

and I've been teaching simile and metaphor all morning

to fourth-graders at the school down the road,

so all I see are figurative languages in the way he perches there--

a rose blooming in mid air,

the roses on my shirt,

the roses in my heart rising,

rose-breasted chest bested only

by this flying mirrored birdsong

quiet flutter

feeding on seeds during my lunch-break

our binoculars glinting in the noonday sun.

Classic Loving Kindness Guided Meditation 18:59

منذ 4 أيام18:59

18:59

Julie Potiker leads you in this classic loving kindness meditation focusing on the words - may you be safe, may you be happy, may you be healthy, and may you live you life with ease. She completes the meditation with her poem, "New". "New", by Julie Potiker Bundle swaddled snuggly sleeps soundly eyes half moons delicate rose lips upturned dough of nose Miniature hands slender fingers gossamer nails I will love you forever escapes my lips coming from a soft place, ancestral place, dropped in and breathed through my heart. At that moment, I feel the truth of it, the threshold created by my first grandchild that I gratefully glide across-this sacred bond, a link in the chain traveling back in time and forward forever. -New, by Julie Potiker .

Goodness Meditation 19:36

منذ 8 أيام19:36

19:36

This guided meditation led by Julie Potiker focuses on goodness - as you breathe in and out. She completes the meditation with her poem, "February 11th, 2025". February 11th, 2025, by Julie Potiker. Rain is coming, there’s a damp chill as I zip my down jacket, tuck my slippered feet under me in my favorite listening chair under the eaves. Bewick Wrens, tail up, are chirping and trilling in the green leafy branches of the carob trees. When one drops down onto the bricks, I get a close look of his plump little body. I’d love to hold him in my upturned palm. Orange Crowned Warbler gives me the same maternal pang. I’m watching a small one flick leaves off the branches, hearing the thwack as leaf hits bricks. Song Sparrow and House Finch are close - perhaps in the trees near the empty feeders. I’ve paused their food on the recommendation of experts to minimize the risk of bird flu. The white plastic seed container with the twist on lid sits untouched on the stone counter, surrounded by a dozen Mexican limes that let go from the tree above. Spotted Towhee takes over the airwaves as it begins to drizzle. It’s a sound unmistakably his, a sort of twisted croak/trill. Coffee cold now, I duck inside for a fresh hot brew. -February 11, 2025, by Julie Potiker Find out more about using mindfulness in everyday life through Julie's books, "SNAP: From Calm to Chaos" , and "Life Falls Apart, But You Don't have To: Mindful Methods for Staying Calm in the Midst of Chaos" .

Classic Loving Kindness Meditation 23:49

منذ 22 يومًا23:49

23:49

In this guided meditation led by Julie Potiker you will focus on a being who brings you joy - and then move into classic loving kindness phrases. She completes her meditation with the poem, "Dream Life", by Billy Collins. Dream Life, by Billy Collins Whenever I have a dream about Poetry, which is not very often considering how much I think about her, she appears as a seamstress who works in the window of a tailor's shop in a section of a provincial city laden with a grey and heavy sky. I know the place so well I could find the dimly lit shop without asking anyone for directions, though the streets are mostly empty, except when I saw a solitary man looking in the window of a butcher's, his hands in the pockets of his raincoat. Poetry works long hours and rarely speaks to the tailor as she bends to repair the fancy costumes of various allegorical figures who were told by Thrift how little she charges. Maybe the ermine collar on the robe of Excess has come loose or a rip in the gown of Abandon needs mending, and no questions will be asked about how that came to pass. A little bell over the door rings whenever a customer enters or leaves, but Poetry is too busy thinking about her children as she replaces a gold button on the blazer of Pride. Dream Life, by Billy Collins, from his book of poems; The Rain in Portugal.

Just Love Guided Meditation 19:22

19:22

Focus on giving love to yourself and others as you follow this guided meditation led by Julie Potiker. She completes the meditation with the poem, "Listening", by Julie Barton. Listening, by Julie Barton I rebuilt my ancestral altar. Two nights later, two great-horned owls stood near my front door. I knew they were my grandparents who lingered. They said in the next morning’s meditation, Where we are, masculine and feminine don’t exist. (I heard it like an apology.) We’re all just energy here. (I heard: We had it so wrong.) It’s just love. I replied, That’s what the trees say too. I inhaled with my still warm body, asked for guidance. Let go, they said. Keep going. Write with your eyes closed. -Listening, by Julie Barton (from, Out With Lanterns, a daily poetry practice).

Find peace and connection through this guided meditation led by Julie Potiker. She completes the meditation with the poem, "Community", by James Crews. Community, by James Crews Science now tells us what we have known since the beginning: you and I are made of light. And if atoms can be birthed by long-gone stars whose signatures we still trace in every night sky, and if these atoms can come together to form something as complex and compassionate as a human being, then maybe we too can join hands, make some new and sacred thing that will save us all. -Community, by James Crews Find out more about using mindfulness in everyday life through Julie's books, "SNAP: From Calm to Chaos" , and "Life Falls Apart, But You Don't have To: Mindful Methods for Staying Calm in the Midst of Chaos" .

منذ 5 weeks21:58

21:58

Goodness - is the focus of this guided meditation. What is it you need to hear to make you feel good? Julie Potiker completes the meditation with a reading of her poem, "Holy Stop". Holy Stop, by Julie Potiker A little after 2pm I exit the 5-south freeway at Loma Santa Fe. At the traffic light, two women with bright green vests CROSSING GUARD in tall black letters. Outstretched arm grasping pole with big red stop sign hats with brims sunglasses shielding eyes from the California sun. A precious job A vital task shepherding school children. Three vest clad women, one vest clad man a Santa Claus beard Perhaps a grandpa. Or merely a good neighbor. A generous offering. A lovely way to take good care of children. These are the things we can do in this messy life where nature wreaks havoc 24-hour news cycle shaking you for attention. It might be standing on a street corner, shielding your eyes from the sun, holding a stop sign. Holy, stop, perfect. -Holy Stop, by Julie Potiker.

Breathe in goodness...for yourself...and others through this guided meditation led by Julie Potiker. She completes the meditation with the poem, "You Matter", by James Crews. You Matter, by James Crews All we can do in times like these is offer things to say to others: You matter to me. The Mason jar of chicken soup given to a neighbor, or the clay mug shaped by the hands of a friend, with a dog and goldfinch painted on the side - how it arrived in the mail unbroken. A phone call out of the blue, or message that says: Thinking of you. Let's wrap each other in gestures so true, no one ever doubts how much they belong, no one ever questions whether or not to stay. -You Matter, by James Crews.

Find your center as you move into the New Year with this guided meditation led by Julie Potiker. She completes the meditation with the poem, "Life and Death", by Mary F. Lenox. Life and Death, by Mary F. Lenox On the day of our birth, We begin our journey toward death Needless to say, Every living being on this planet today will not be here in 120 years. That’s twelve decades from now Most will be gone sooner I certainly will So, what does that mean? Time matters! Each day is a gift from the divine The cells of the body are in continuous cycles of hello and goodbye People come and go in our lives The world we inhabit is changing before our very eyes If I live 20 more years, I will be approaching my 100 th birthday I know not the day or hour When I will leave this earthly plane Nor do others The answer is clear to me Love Now! Celebrate life Now! Smile at trees, birds, and the sea Now! Love beauty Now! Love Music Now! Let go of anything that does enhance my life Now! Speak the truth with an open heart Now! Honor, respect, and care for my body, mind, spirit, emotions Now! Be grateful Now! Respect all life Now! Love me, and you Now! Love God Now! Life and Death by Mary F. Lenox (San Diego, CA) Note from poet Mary Lenox. This poem is significant to me since my sister, Doris Washington, passed away on Sunday, December 29, 2024. She was 86 years. Doris and I talked on Saturday, and my other sister, Trueannie Oaddams, talked with Doris on Sunday morning as they did every day for 20 years. Soon thereafter, Doris left this world, sitting in her favorite chair. Please keep me and my beloved family in your prayers.

Hanukkah Candle Guided Meditation 20:40

منذ 9 weeks20:40

20:40

Breathe in and visualize a Hanukkah candle - lit with love, glowing. Julie Potiker completes the meditation with the poem, "The Back of Our Hands", by Annette Friend. "The Back of Our Hands," by Annette Friend. My nephew's afternoon wedding in upgraded Jersey City - a rose covered Chuppah overlooks the sun-speckled Hudson River, the jagged NYC skyline. My granddaughter, six, sits on my lap, in a flowered pink dress, beige patent leather shoes with tiny bows, softly touches the back of my hand, traces brown liver spots, blue veins, red splotches of skin damaged by too much sun, baby oil slathered teenage skin at the Jersey Shore. Her pure, pink skin, unblemished, smooth as rose petals, in stark contrast to my time splattered covering. She maps the spots up and down my arm as if trying to decipher clues about my life. "What happened her?" she whispers, points to a thin white scar on my thumb. "Cut myself with a knife making latkes. I'll be more careful when I come to visit, and we make latkes for Hanukkah." Her pearly fingertips mark up my saggy arm, "Your skin is squishy like Jello, Granny A." I laugh, she giggles snuggling against me. Does it matter if my skin tells tales of time passing when she's here with me in the sunshine smiling on this happy, sparkling day? We watch the bride and groom parade back down the aisle to applause, the groom has finally smashed the glass after five tries. All Jewish celebrations are tinged with ancient adversity, the broken glass, some say, a reminder of the Temple we lost thousands of years ago When I was young these customs made me shrug my shoulders, annoyed, we Jews can never just kick up our heels, relax and enjoy. Now my skin proclaims me an old relic as I watch fresh young lives around me begin to bloom, I realize stories of the past show us our strength, the beauty and pain all of our history contains, the past entwined in all the moments that we are alive, part of a tradition that teaches us how to survive. In this moment, the past, the present, the young and the old, the sun sets, yet rises, on a new marriage, and our two hands, my granddaughters and mine, side by side woven in gold.

In this guided meditation, led by Julie Potiker you will be focusing on your gifts and what it is you need right now. She completes the meditation with the poem, "At the Market", by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer. "At The Market", by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer Now when I walk through the market I think of how someone else here beside the stir-fry cart and the tie-dye tent has just lost a beloved and is hiding tears behind sunglasses. Not knowing who they are, I try to treat everyone with kindness. Meanwhile the day is beautiful for everyone, no matter how whole, how broken our hearts. It gathers us all in a grand blue embrace. I stroll through the gift of a Friday morning surrounded by arugula and strawberries, muffins, lilies, and all these other fragile hearts, all of us saying Excuse me, Good morning, How are you, It's nice to see you today. -At The Market, by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer (from "The Unfolding poems").

منذ 12 weeks21:43

21:43

Right now, in this moment, what is it you need to hear? Julie Potiker helps you focus on that question through this guided meditation. She completes the meditation with the poem, "Reciting Poems to Each Other in a Difficult Time", by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer Reciting Poems to Each Other in a Difficult Time, by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer It might have looked as if we stayed in our respective squares— nine separate rooms made of pixels— but for an hour the poems we shared leaped through the screen and into our bloodstream until all our lines were gloriously blurred and our wounds were gently tended by the medicine of Berry’s day-blind stars and Wellwood’s ferocious dance of no hope, Hopkins’s shining from shook foil and Roethke’s wondering Which I is I? In another time, there would have been a fire at the center. Someone would play a drum. But in this time, I felt it inside me, the fire, as poems blazed to meet the great cold. I felt it inside me, the human drum, that reminds me the heart beats not for itself, but the world. For an hour we spooned each other the honey of poetry. Alone now, I still taste it, unfiltered and raw, this astonishing sweetness on my lips, this salt of lyric communion, still feel the warmth of that blaze, the spark still dazzling in the dark. –Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer from A Hundred Falling Veils Find out more about using mindfulness in everyday life through Julie's books, "SNAP: From Calm to Chaos" , and "Life Falls Apart, But You Don't have To: Mindful Methods for Staying Calm in the Midst of Chaos" .

Enter the holiday season and finish the year with gratitude and thankfulness - for those who helped you throughout your life. Who has helped you become the person you are today? Breathe in acknowledgment of their contribution to your life's journey - breathe out thankfulness. Julie Potiker completes her meditation with the poem, "Thank You", by Ross Gay. Thank You, by Ross Gay. If you find yourself half naked and barefoot in the frosty grass, hearing, again, the earth's great, sonorous moan that says you are the air of the now and gone, that says all you love will turn to dust, and will meet you there, do not raise your fist. Do not raise your small voice against it. And do not take cover. Instead, curl your toes into the grass, watch the cloud ascending from your lips. Walk through the garden's dormant splendor. Say only, thank you.

Open Heart Meditation 20:55

منذ 14 weeks20:55

20:55

Open your heart to compassion through this guided meditation led by Julie Potiker. She completes the meditation with a reading of the poem, "So I Can't Save the World", by —Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer "So I Can't Save the World", by —Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer So I can’t save the world— can’t save even myself, can’t wrap my arms around every frightened child, can’t foster peace among nations, can’t bring love to all who feel unlovable. So I practice opening my heart right here in this room and being gentle with my insufficiency. I practice walking down the street heart first. And if it is insufficient to share love, I will practice loving anyway. I want to converse about truth, about trust. I want to invite compassion into every interaction. One willing heart can’t stop a war. One willing heart can’t feed all the hungry. And sometimes, daunted by a task too big, I ask myself, What’s the use of trying? But today, the invitation is clear: to be ridiculously courageous in love. To open the heart like a lilac in May, knowing freeze is possible and opening anyway. To take love seriously. To give love wildly. To race up to the world as if I were a puppy, adoring and unjaded, stumbling on my own exuberance. To feel the shock of indifference, of anger, of cruelty, of fear, and stay open. To love as if it matters, as if the world depends on it. —Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer Find out more about using mindfulness in everyday life through Julie's books, "SNAP: From Calm to Chaos" , and "Life Falls Apart, But You Don't have To: Mindful Methods for Staying Calm in the Midst of Chaos" .

Join Julie Potiker as she leads you through this guided meditation where you will use your breath to relax - and focus on what it is you need right now. She completes the meditation with the poem, "Rose-Breasted", by Kai Coggin, from the book, "Mother of Other Kingdoms, poems by Kai Coggin".

"Rose-Breasted", by Kai Coggin

(for Pheucticus Iudovicianus)

To be rose-breastedmp

as in the grosbeak that graced

the feeder today on my lunch breath,

me, in my teaching clothes, bright red beret,

black shirt buttoned to my neck covered in roses,

somehow a reflection before this auspicious landing.

I sit on the bed with my shoes on because I have to leave again soon--

my wife has been sneezing and coughing, so I brought her a pharmacy run

of cough drops allergy meds Kleenex, and from bed she's been watching

the spring migration landing outside our bedroom window.

I bring both our binoculars to bed and for a moment here we are,

lunch-break lovebirds peering close and hopeful, and there!

A sudden flash of black white and roses - he lands!

A rare vibrant specimen, gorgeous Rose-breasted Grosbeak,

his feathers

red like summer tomatoes

red like fire-engine cry

a red blazing sunrise cutting through the sky

and I've been teaching simile and metaphor all morning

to fourth-graders at the school down the road,

so all I see are figurative languages in the way he perches there--

a rose blooming in mid air,

the roses on my shirt,

the roses in my heart rising,

rose-breasted chest bested only

by this flying mirrored birdsong

Color of Breath Guided Meditation

Join Julie Potiker as she leads you through this guided meditation where you will use your breath to relax - and focus on what it is you need right now. She completes the meditation with the poem, "Rose-Breasted", by Kai Coggin, from the book, "Mother of Other Kingdoms, poems by Kai Coggin".

"Rose-Breasted", by Kai Coggin

(for Pheucticus Iudovicianus)

To be rose-breastedmp

as in the grosbeak that graced

the feeder today on my lunch breath,

me, in my teaching clothes, bright red beret,

black shirt buttoned to my neck covered in roses,

somehow a reflection before this auspicious landing.

I sit on the bed with my shoes on because I have to leave again soon--

my wife has been sneezing and coughing, so I brought her a pharmacy run

of cough drops allergy meds Kleenex, and from bed she's been watching

the spring migration landing outside our bedroom window.

I bring both our binoculars to bed and for a moment here we are,

lunch-break lovebirds peering close and hopeful, and there!

A sudden flash of black white and roses - he lands!

A rare vibrant specimen, gorgeous Rose-breasted Grosbeak,

his feathers

red like summer tomatoes

red like fire-engine cry

a red blazing sunrise cutting through the sky

and I've been teaching simile and metaphor all morning

to fourth-graders at the school down the road,

so all I see are figurative languages in the way he perches there--

a rose blooming in mid air,

the roses on my shirt,

the roses in my heart rising,

rose-breasted chest bested only

by this flying mirrored birdsong

quiet flutter

feeding on seeds during my lunch-break

our binoculars glinting in the noonday sun.
