It actually ended up being a great introduction to Machine Learning! I will leak the first couple paragraphs here:
Developing algorithms is a central task in computer science. Each algorithm is a series of precise instructions to compute a given mathematical function.
This works great when the programmer has these precise instructions available, but not when a function is only partially known, or if it is too complex for even a large team. Machine learning was developed in part as a response to this problem, to extend the ultimate reach of software.
Aaron ( @OldWindways ) stopped by yesterday and we talked about the private space initiatives of Branson (Virgin Galactic), Bezos, and Musk.
Max and Aaron discuss what makes good nachos and what can go wrong in Episode 158 (not yet released)
Starting today, all your paid subscriptions will be moved over to substack!
I'm still a huge fan of the locals platform, but with my small audience, and desire to publish podcasts and articles directly, substack is a better fit for The Local Maximum right now.
The substack is at localmaximum.substack.com - you should be getting some emails for the latest episodes. Always feel free to reach out at [email protected]
Folks - I know we've been on hiatus for the last few weeks, but I'm looking forward to getting back into the Local Maximum, and also supporting our move over to substack! I hope to reach out to you individually as well!
Happy holidays everyone!
Let's disrupt our festivities with some thought-provoking insights into our future.
In this week's episode, Max and Aaron finished their discussion on "The Fourth Turning is Here" and talk about what may be in store for the rest of the Fourth Turning Crisis and what the next several decades might look like as a result.
Make sure to tune in as you welcome the new year!
