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.

Rhythm Cafe MKE | VOL40 A Reluctant Practice in the Art of Zen | Maxwell James 3:12

2 giorni fa3:12

3:12

Send us a text "Good At Being Alone" is a song about the balance between being social and needing solitude. As an introvert, I love spending time with friends and family, going out, and meeting new people—but I also need space to recharge. It's not about isolation; it's about finding peace in being alone. One of my favorite lines in the song is, "I'm just a mammal in the sea, I need to surface just to breathe." That’s exactly how I feel about life—I dive into social experiences, but every so often, I need to step away, decompress, and create. That’s what this song is about: not loneliness, but the joy of solitude. Find more programs at https://www.milwaukeepbs.org/stream…

Rhythm Cafe MKE | VOL37 - Embozi | Ben Mulwana 6:20

6:20

Send us a text "Embozi" is a song born from a moment of deep uncertainty. I was losing my balance, losing myself, and struggling to find my direction again. Music, which had always been my anchor, felt like it was slipping away. I had this thought—maybe I’ll write one last song, one last album, and then I’m done. But then came a long drive to Nashville, a full week of songwriting ahead, and hours alone in the car with nothing but my own thoughts. No music, no distractions—just silence. And in that silence, I finally heard the voice that had always kept me steady—a voice I hadn’t heard in a long time. "Embozi" means talk or rumor in Uganda, and at that time, the noise of doubt and fear was deafening. But this song came from the moment when the real voice—the one that keeps me moving forward—cut through all of it. These are the words that voice said.

Send us a text "Golden Brown" is a deeply personal song I wrote for my wife while working on my first album. I wanted to include something just for her, a quiet tribute to how much she means to me. Over time, as our family has grown, the song has taken on even greater meaning. Now, when I sing it, I feel its weight even more—especially the line, "Oh my God, if you take this away from me, I might forfeit what is left." It’s no longer just about my love for her, but also for our son, and the realization that without them, there might be nothing else. Find more programs at https://www.milwaukeepbs.org/stream…

Milwaukee's Migrant Families - A Black Nouveau Special 28:16

28:16

Send us a text Between 1916 and 1970, roughly six million African-Americans living in the South uprooted their families to migrate to cities in the West and North. They came seeking the promise of a better life; escape from racial violence, better jobs, higher wages, and better educational opportunities. Milwaukee and Wisconsin began to feel the shift in the 1940s. Just before WWII, Milwaukee’s Black population totaled about 1.5 percent. By 1950 that number had increased to 3.5 per cent, approximately 22,000 people. By 1970 the number had ballooned to 103,000 people, and by the turn of the century, Milwaukee’s Black population exceeded 200,000 people. “Milwaukee s Migration Families” talks with Black residents who left the South for a better life; and first and second generation Milwaukeeans currently living here to find out whether things actually improved for them by coming here.

Jordan B. Davis' love for NES games inspired him to create a Milwaukee-based game. 6:11

Send us a text Did you know new videogames are still being created for the NES? That's right, the almost 4 decade old videogame console is still chuggin'! While traveling around the country with his indie rock band, Spaceraft, Jordan and his bandmates spent their free time playing old NES favorites like Tecmo Bowl and Excitebike. He grew to appreciate the artistry and design of those classic Nintendo games and, being a musician, he became infatuated with their soundtracks. After doing a little research he discovered the world of NES game design was alive and well. He started composing music for developers, and then some design, and then some programming and eventually, created his very own game, Spaceraft. Named after his band, the game stars himself and his bandmates as they travel around Milwaukee looking for their stolen mastertapes. It's a work of art brimming with vibrancy, uniqueness, and lots of familiar Milwaukee establishments. Find more programs at https://www.milwaukeepbs.org/stream…
