Riverport Radio podcast

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.

Send us a text When we first walked through the doors of what is now the vibrant Whiskey Cafe, it was hard to imagine the transformation it would undergo. Join us as we chat with Sam and Michael Purchase, the duo behind this ambitious project, who faced not just the challenges of renovating a listed building, but also unexpected surprises like uncovering Roman soil and ancient sheep bones. Their journey from concept to opening day is a testament to perseverance and passion, and we can't wait for you to hear their story. Imagine a place where the warmth of a cafe meets the buzz of a lively restaurant, all wrapped up in the charm of St Ives' historic setting. That's the Whiskey Cafe for you—a hit with locals and event-goers alike, offering everything from festive gatherings to potential summer fun on its outdoor terrace. We explore the nitty-gritty of setting up an online reservation system and the importance of maintaining a strong digital presence, as well as exciting plans like participating in the Riverport Jazz and Blues Festival. The cafe may have just opened, but it's already a beloved community hotspot. But it's not just about the bricks and mortar. We dive into the community challenges, such as St Ives' ongoing flood management issues, with insights from Matthew Setchell of the St Ives Flood Action Group. Plus, you'll meet some of the amazing Whiskey Cafe team members—Lewis, Leah, and Lucy—who share how camaraderie and a supportive work environment shape their daily experience. With festive events, great music, and charity initiatives also in the mix, our episode promises a spirited look at what makes St Ives a special place to work and celebrate.

Send us a text Join us for the launch of Riverport Radio, as we explore the vibrant community of St Ives with our esteemed guest Julie Kerr, Deputy Mayor and passionate town and district councillor. Ever wondered how local road improvements can ignite such heated debates? Julie sheds light on the controversial Huntingdon and St Ives Road Improvement Scheme, while also sharing her insights on the promising developments of the new St Ives hub. We lighten the mood with stories of local charm, including the closure of the Bentley garage and a delightful yet short-lived bakery that left its mark. Our conversation takes a serious turn as we examine pressing community concerns, such as the decline in enrollment at Ivo's sixth form. This issue raises alarm bells about the sustainability of our local schools and the wider implications of the academy system. We delve into how digital screens funded by grants are set to become a central hub for local information, despite initial setbacks. With a strong push for community engagement, these initiatives aim to bring lasting benefits to the town and its residents. Amidst these challenges, the spirit of St Ives shines through its vibrant festival scene and the unwavering support for local businesses. Celebrate with us as we gear up for an exciting music festival, promising a significant boost for our beloved local shops and cafes. The Snowman Festival and our cherished traditions continue to foster community solidarity, while the Civic Society's efforts champion small businesses in Salahat. From new coffee shops to unique cafes, we explore how these ventures enrich the local economy while keeping the heart of St Ives beating strong. We’d love to hear from you!
