Understanding the Elegant Math Behind Modern Machine Learning 1:14:43

4 days ago1:14:43

1:14:43

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.

Wonderful Water: Recovery and Repair 11:47

This month on “ Wonderful Water, ” join 97.9 The Hill’s Andrew Stuckey for a conversation with Jesse DuClau, OWASA’s Director of Distribution and Collection, who — along with many OWASA team members — supported the deployment of multiple missions to Western N.C., including to Black Mountain and Asheville. The 12 Bones riverside location in Asheville was one of many small businesses that suffered significant damage from the floodwaters of Helene. (Photo via Liz Koh/12 Bones on GoFundMe.) Following Hurricane Helene, OWASA crews with expertise in locating and repairing water and wastewater infrastructure, as well as lab analyst, deployed to Western North Carolina with specialized equipment and materials to help restore essential water and sewer services to these communities in need. “The OWASA team helped staff the NC Water WARN desk at the state Emergency Operations Center (EOC) in Raleigh to help connect communities in need to the resources they needed to recover. This is where we found our first opportunity to help in Black Mountain,” said DuClau. “We knew there was a need to repair the infrastructure that provided water to their community. The need included labor, equipment, and materials, but had we no idea what to bring and how to help. So myself and our assistant director headed west to get a better understanding of the needs of the situation.” (Featured image via OWASA) You can listen to the full conversation below, and visit the Wonderful Water page here for more interviews and stories about the work OWASA does in our community. Chapel Hill and Carrboro residents use roughly 7 million gallons of water a day, and “Wonderful Water” is a monthly conversation sponsored by the Orange Water and Sewer Authority highlighting its work to keep our community growing and water flowing. Presented by the Orange Water and Sewer Authority. The post Wonderful Water: Recovery and Repair appeared first on Chapelboro.com .…
