Another podcast from someone smarter than me, being interviewed by someone who is also smarter than me. My sidebar is full of such folks. (Not all. Some just have topic specialties I enjoy.)
Steve Hsu has a Manifold episode which records his being interviewed by...someone. An anonymous tech person on the Informtion Theory podcast: Adventures in Physics, Trump, and More. Steve is or was a liberal and was dean of research at Michigan State but has surprisingly good things to say about Trump and surprisingly negative ones to say about gov't research, especially NIH. I didn't see either of those coming.
Also AI, Miltech, and Balance of Power. Deepseek is a game-changer because it uses so much less energy; 6th generation Chinese fighter planes; America's chip advantage via Taiwan and Netherlands is not only narrowing, but the Chinese just smuggle in those chips if they really need to. Not in quantity, but still very useful.
From the book club that David Foster and I are in one of the Silicon Valley guys passes along an article about AI coding, The 70% problem. Recommended. By him, I mean. Most of it is beyond me, but some of you like that stuff. Have at it.

It often takes me quite a while to worry out the core problem, when I do. Hsu is sharp.
