Love Magnha!

She asks the questions I want to ask. I especially like that she doesn’t shy away from telling the truth about difficult subjects.
Boys will be boys

As a mother of two boys now getting ready to have their own children, I loved the depth, the angels, the sincerity of this examination of our raising of boys who become men. Thank you
Love Jack Beatty

But the main show is noticeably shifting to the right. Starting to skip episodes, and this series on boys in school is pretty disappointing. Such an important topic but not handled with the depth and nuance it deserves.
Fantastic interview with Geoffrey Hinton
Mar 10
Fascinating conversation and interview that overviews how LLMs fundamentally work and illustrates their capabilities through many fascinating thought experiments and first-principles reasoning about what it is we animals are doing when we think. Otherwise, overall great journalistic podcast that gives space and attention to very relevant issues and perspectives.
