"L'intelligence c'est pas de résoudre les problème du passé mais ceux du futur" Le D.E.V de cette semaine est Alexis Gladiline-Bozio, Data scientist @ EDF. Alexis discute des complexités de l'intelligence humaine et artificielle, avec en toile de fond l'univers des échecs. Il souligne que la victoire des algorithmes comme Deep Blue sur des adversaires humains illustre leur maîtrise de tâches spécifiques, et non une manifestation de véritable intelligence. Alexis offre également une vision nuancée des répercussions de l'IA sur l'emploi, loin du pessimisme souvent associé à l'automatisation. L'échange nous rappelle que la véritable valeur de l'intelligence humaine - difficile à circonscrire - reste essentielle à mesure que progresse la technologie.Chapitrages00:01:00 : Introduction à l'Intelligence Humaine00:01:24 : Présentation d'Alexis00:03:28 : Lien entre IA et Échecs00:05:21 : Modélisation et Choix aux Échecs00:05:58 : Limites de l'IA Spécifique00:11:13 : Confrontation entre l'Homme et la Machine00:13:38 : Impact de l'IA sur les Métiers00:16:26 : Analogies avec les Chevaux00:20:14 : Intelligence et Transmission de Connaissance00:24:34 : Mesurer l'Intelligence des Programmes00:32:41 : Limites des Réseaux de Neurones00:34:59 : Compréhension de l'Intelligence00:39:53 : La Hype autour de l'IA00:44:18 : Exemple de la Voiture Autonome00:46:50 : Évolution du Rôle des Développeurs00:51:46 : Recommandations de Contenus00:53:06 : Conclusion et Remerciements Liens évoqués pendant l'émission François Chollet : On the measure of intelligenceLa leçon d'échecs: petite histoire de l'IABen Recht substack **Assurez vous comme vous assurer vos déploiements**

Brock and Salk wonder if they should be talking more about Sam Darnold with all of the focus that's recently been on Jalen Milroe and if there will be a Seahawks QB controversy this year. They then react to sound from Mark DeRosa on MLB Network and some funny comparisons he uses for the Mariners. Stacy Rost then also stops by.

Argues tax dollars fund dysfunctional systems, with “stupid” people defending ineffective programs.* Food and Health Costs (00:12:26 - 00:15:01): Discussion of the high cost of healthy food (e.g., pasture-raised eggs with orange yolks) and the hosts' ignorance of real food until recently. Highlights societal reliance on processed, harmful products.* Propaganda and Media Control (00:18:49 - 00:20:21): Reflection on past media control (three TV stations, limited news outlets) enabling propaganda like margarine promotion and anti-fat narratives. Notes the pork industry's role in popularizing breakfast.* Autism and Big Pharma (00:23:19 - 00:24:45): RFK's promise to identify autism causes by September 2025, implying existing knowledge. Suggests data manipulation to protect Big Pharma's interests.* Societal Observations (00:48:59 - 00:56:54): Analysis of NFL Draft interviews, noting intact families among offensive linemen and single-mother households among defensive players. Links broken families to feminism and divorce culture.* Mount Rushmore of Idols to Smash (00:57:09 - 01:57:59)* Safety (Safetyism): Critiqued as an obsession with avoiding risk (e.g., COVID policies, school safety measures), harming development. Encourages calculated risks for growth.* Niceness: Condemned as a barrier to truth, especially in Christian contexts where uncomfortable conversations (e.g., confronting sin) are avoided. Contrasts niceness with kindness, requiring tough love.* Nostalgia: Challenges fixation on past events (e.g., slavery, civil rights, WWII, the Holocaust) across racial and cultural groups, arguing it traps people in outdated conflicts. Rejects both negative and positive nostalgia (e.g., 1950s) to focus on the present and Christ's return.* Feminism: Criticized for elevating women above biblical roles, leading to abortion, rejection of gender roles, child mutilation, divorce culture, and low testosterone in men. Notes cultural shifts toward traditional values, especially among young men in Christian ministries.* Spiritual Reflection and Closing (01:57:59 - 02:01:02)* Biblical call to action from Micah 5:13-15, urging the destruction of idols to prevent future generations from falling away.* Prayer for boldness to smash idols, follow Christ, and love God wholeheartedly.* Emphasis on tearing down “high places” (idolatrous structures) alongside returning to God.* Reminder that the devil exploits extreme reactions (e.g., feminism vs. misogyny), making Jesus the only true path.Notable Quotes:* “That's such garbage science that it's astounding.” (On red meat studies)* “If you worship women, you can say, well, this is for the benefit of women that I'm killing babies, 50% of which are women.” (On feminism and abortion)* “Nobody likes the guy who peaked in high school.” (On nostalgia)* “We can't just go back to God. We have to tear down the high places.” (On smashing idols)Call to Action:* Visit kingsplaining.com for new t-shirts.* Like, share, and subscribe to the podcast.* Tell a friend to join the “Rube Empire.”Closing: The episode blends humor, conviction, and provocation to challenge listeners to reject cultural idols, pursue Christ, and advance God's kingdom. The hosts' unapologetic style and biblical grounding frame their critique of modern society. This is a public episode.

Communication isn't about perfect word choice, it's about connecting with others.For native speakers and language learners alike, communicating comes with all kinds of challenges.

https://michellecutler.com/The Art of Analogies in StorytellingSteve Harper and storytelling coach Michelle Tamara Cutler explore the power of analogies and metaphors in communication, breaking down how they shape understanding and engagement. Michelle uses the analogy of a restaurant to illustrate the importance of website presentation and user experience, emphasizing that a website is like a front-of-house—its design, clarity, and accessibility determine whether visitors stay or leave. She expands this idea further, comparing social media platforms to different spaces within the restaurant: Instagram as the cocktail bar, LinkedIn as the business lounge, and a Substack or blog as a cozy reading nook. Even the often-overlooked aspects of a business, like customer service and communication, function like a restaurant's bathrooms—if they're neglected, people will question the quality of the entire establishment. Michelle also introduces her upcoming workshop on using storytelling to strengthen SEO, reinforcing that human-centered content remains essential in digital marketing.  Listen to us live on mytuner-radio, onlineradiobox, fmradiofree.com and streema.com (the simpleradio app)https://onlineradiobox.com/search?cs=us.pbnnetwork1&q=podcast%20business%20news%20network&c=ushttps://mytuner-radio.com/search/?q=business+news+networkhttps://www.fmradiofree.com/search?q=professional+podcast+networkhttps://streema.com/radios/search/?q=podcast+business+news+network

According to him, a happy life is made of enjoyment, satisfaction, and meaning, which we cultivate through connection with others. "Faith, family, friends, and work, that's your basic happiness 401k plan,” he says.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Brooks and host Matt Abrahams explore the fundamental role of relationships in creating a happy life, and how effective communication helps us build and maintain these essential connections.This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Recently we've gotten into discussions about artistic taste (see comments on AI Art Turing Test and From Bauhaus To Our House). This is a bit mysterious. Many (most?) uneducated people like certain art which seems “obviously” pretty. But a small group of people who have studied the issue in depth say that in some deep sense, that art is actually bad (“kitsch”), and other art which normal people don't appreciate is better. They can usually point to criteria which the “sophisticated” art follows and the “kitsch” art doesn't, but to normal people these just seem like lists of pointless rules. But most of the critics aren't Platonists - they don't believe that aesthetics are an objective good determined by God. So what does it mean to say that someone else is wrong? Most of the comments discussion devolved into analogies - some friendly to the idea of “superior taste”, others hostile. Here are some that I find especially helpful: https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/friendly-and-hostile-analogies-for

In this episode of ThimbleberryU, we continue our conversation about teaching kids financial responsibility, focusing on debt, budgeting, generosity, and investing. Jag and Amy Walls provide practical strategies for helping children understand money in an age-appropriate way.We start by tackling the sensitive topic of debt. Amy shows us her “suitcase” analogy to explain tailoring financial discussions to a child's age and capacity. Younger children benefit from relatable examples like borrowing toys or Halloween candy trades to grasp the basics of borrowing and repayment. For older kids, it's about introducing concepts like credit cards, interest, and student loans while sharing real-life stories to provide context.Next, we cover budgeting, where Amy suggests turning it into a game. She shares how activities like shopping for a food drive or handling a pretend shopping trip can teach kids about choices and trade-offs. By guiding children through small financial goals and allowing them to make mistakes in a controlled way, they learn the value of planning and accountability.Amy also emphasizes the importance of generosity. She explains how encouraging kids to give, whether through charitable donations or thoughtful gift-giving, can foster a sense of responsibility and connection. She suggests matching their contributions to amplify the impact and reinforce positive habits.When it comes to investing, Amy recommends starting with simple concepts. For example, using well-known companies like Disney or Apple can make stocks relatable. Analogies, like planting a tree to illustrate the slow growth of investments, help demystify the process. However, she stresses the importance of having a solid cash reserve before diving into investing.Jg and Amy reflect on how money conversations were often avoided in previous generations. By fostering open discussions and age-appropriate financial lessons, parents can better prepare their children for a healthy financial future.

As we continue our discussion, we challenge conventional beliefs about mental health and medication. Dr. Moss sheds light on the realities of psychiatric medications, revealing how they can create chemical imbalances rather than resolve existing ones. He emphasizes the importance of understanding that anxiety and depression may not stem from inherent imbalances but arise from the pressures of life and societal expectations. Throughout our dialogue, Dr. Moss articulates crucial insights that encourage listeners to rethink their relationship with anxiety and mental health treatment. We explore the notion that many emotional struggles are framed as personal failings, when in reality, they are human experiences that we all encounter. Dr. Moss argues that it's essential to acknowledge and embrace discomfort as a natural part of existence, moving away from the belief that one must be in a constant state of happiness to be valuable or fulfilled. We delve into the implications of the current healthcare system, where therapists often feel compelled to refer patients to psychiatrists when conventional methods fall short. This dynamic can lead to a reliance on medication, which may provide a false sense of relief that often masks more profound issues. #Anxiety #Depression #MentalHealth #Medication #MentalHealthAdvocacy #SelfExpression #Creativity #Therapy #Healing #SelfHelp #MentalWellness #MindBodyConnection #EmotionalHealing #AlternativeMedicine #PersonalGrowth #Mindfulness #WellnessJourney #DrFredMoss #AnxietyCoachesPodcast #MentalHealthEducation #WellnessCommunity, #ACP, #GinaRyan, #AnxietyCoachesPodcast Learn more about your ad choices.

At times, you simply can't think of an analogy, and you reach for something that's been used many times before. However, there's zero fun in using a tired analogy. How can you take this rather overused analogy and turn it into something with oomph? Let's find out.

In Christian circles, analogies are often used to describe the Trinity. But are they accurate? Today, Michael Reeves examines how Scripture challenges and deepens our understanding of our triune God.

The Power of Analogies (Part 2): How to use everyday life to create stunning analogies Probably the biggest mistake that most of us make is that we try to find analogies. We sit down at a desk and wrack our brains trying to find an analogy that's just right. Instead, we end up with analogies that have been used repeatedly by other people. Or analogy doesn't seem fresh—and certainly not memorable. Yet, there are dozens if not hundreds of analogies waiting for us round the corner. And by that I mean literally round the corner. It's a secret waiting for us in plain sight. Let's find out how to go about creating those analogies by the dozen!

When we sit down to write an article, or design a presentation, we tend to slip in an analogy. However, most of the analogies that we seem to come up with a "boring and tired". The reason why we struggle so much is because we're going about it the wrong way. And allergies – in general – should be written backwards. How do you write an analogy going backwards? That's what we'll find out in this episode.

Understanding the difference can empower listeners to take control of their emotional well-being and develop more effective coping strategies. Through the episode, I provide insights based on the experiences I've gathered through coaching, aiming to clarify these often-confused terms and offer practical tools for self-management. I begin by defining stress as a response to external pressures or demands, often linked to specific situations like job deadlines or family responsibilities. This type of stress is identifiable and can be felt physically, manifesting as headaches, muscle tension, and rapid heart rates. It's important to recognize that these symptoms typically dissipate once the external stressors are resolved. On the other hand, anxiety is characterized by feelings of apprehension or fear about potential future events that lack immediate external triggers. I describe anxiety as a feeling of impending doom or worry, often accompanied by an array of symptoms such as excessive worry, restlessness, and hypervigilance, which can persist long after stressors have been removed. The conversation progresses into examining the causes and manifestations of both stress and anxiety. While stress stems from identifiable external factors, anxiety often emerges from internal negative thoughts or worries, leading to a disproportionate reaction to situations that may not warrant such feelings. These variations highlight how stress creates a wave that comes and goes, whereas anxiety can be likened to a cloud that lingers, obscuring clarity of thought even in calm circumstances.

This episode captures a deep, heartfelt conversation between Jessica Woodbury, the host of In Her Image, and guest Christy Spencer. They discuss Christy's spiritual journey, particularly her connection with Heavenly Mother, her humanitarian work, and personal experiences that shaped her view of divinity. The conversation explores themes of healing, faith, and redefining one's relationship with God through a feminine divine perspective. Key highlights include: Christy's Background and Work: Christy shares her decade-long humanitarian career with LDS humanitarian services, where she led impactful initiatives, especially around menstrual health in countries all around the world. Her work was deeply fulfilling, often directed by what she felt was divine guidance, and shaped her understanding of service as a sacred duty. Heavenly Mother: Christy recounts her complex relationship with the concept of "mother" due to personal loss and challenges in her upbringing. She felt a yearning to understand and connect with the feminine aspect of divinity, which deepened as she became a mother herself. She describes instances where she felt Heavenly Mother's presence in her life, adding depth to her faith. Personal Experiences and Faith: Christy describes her journey of healing and empowerment through moments of profound personal revelation, such as a dream about a pad design during her humanitarian work. She believes that God's guidance often came in feminine tones and through nature, which she considers Heavenly Mother's house. Doctrine of Heavenly Parents: They discuss how understanding God as both a Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother has reshaped Christy's perspective. She emphasizes the importance of unity and balance between masculine and feminine divine attributes and advocates for language inclusivity in church settings, believing that recognizing Heavenly Mother expands believers' perceptions of divinity. Analogies and Spiritual Insights: Christy uses the metaphor of God as a prism to describe her view of God, representing a spectrum of light and color that goes beyond human comprehension. This metaphor reflects her belief that God encompasses vast diversity and complexity, much like a prism reveals the colors within white light. This discussion touches on themes of community, unity, and the personal journey of faith, particularly for women within the Latter-day Saint tradition. Christy's stories and insights offer a vision of spirituality enriched by a more inclusive view of the divine. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/inherimage/support
