Xaq Pitkow runs the Lab for the Algorithmic Brain at Carnegie Mellon University. The main theme of our discussion is how Xaq approaches his research into cognition by way of principles, from which his questions and models and methods spring forth. We discuss those principles, and In that light, we discuss some of his specific lines of work and ideas on the theoretical side of trying understand and explain a slew of cognitive processes. A few of the specifics we discuss are: How when we present tasks for organisms to solve, they use strategies that are suboptimal relative to the task, but nearly optimal relative to their beliefs about what they need to do - something Xaq calls inverse rational control. Probabilistic graph networks. How brains use probabilities to compute. A new ecological neuroscience project Xaq has started with multiple collaborators. LAB: Lab for the Algorithmic Brain. Related papers How does the brain compute with probabilities? Rational thoughts in neural codes. Control when confidence is costly Generalization of graph network inferences in higher-order graphical models.

Scientists can get animals to do the strangest things. They've taught goldfish to drive cars, primates to perform calculations with Arabic numerals and giraffes to do statistical reasoning. But what's the point?In this episode, biologist Scarlett Howard from Monash University in Australia – who has taught bees to tell the difference between odd and even numbers – defends the importance of these seemingly ecologically irrelevant experiments.She argues that they can help us understand the secrets of animal cognition, and even potentially unlock future technological developments for humanity too.This episode was written and produced by Katie Flood.

Want to think faster, remember more, and rewire your brain for high performance? This special archived episode breaks down the real nootropic stack, neuroplasticity tools, and brain optimization protocols Jim Kwik uses daily, plus the biohacking routines that rebuilt his cognition after traumatic brain injury. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with world-renowned brain coach Jim Kwik, bestselling author of Limitless and advisor to billionaires, athletes, and Hollywood performers. After being labeled “the boy with the broken brain” as a child, Jim transformed his life through functional medicine, nootropics, cold therapy, neurorehab, and smart supplementation. He's now the go-to expert on learning how to learn, with cutting-edge insights on memory, speed reading, focus, and cognitive recovery. Together, they reveal the most effective supplements for brain optimization, how to stack smart drugs with sleep optimization, the surprising downside of alpha GPC, and why things like ketosis, mitochondrial support, and even Danger Coffee are essential for modern cognition. You'll also hear why your brain speed depends on your metabolism, the forgotten science of post-traumatic growth, and how to combine breathing, fasting, and cold therapy for massive neuroplasticity gains. Jim also shares his Brain Animal system, a new way to personalize your learning, decision-making, and communication based on your unique cognitive style. From performance to parenting, he shows how your “brain type” influences every part of life and how to hack it for focus, clarity, and flow. This episode is packed with high-impact strategies for biohacking your brain, improving human performance, upgrading memory, and building real resilience using smarter not harder protocols. You'll Learn: • What Jim Kwik takes daily for brain speed, cognition, and mental stamina • The exact nootropics Dave Asprey uses (and the ones he avoids) • How sleep apnea nearly destroyed Jim's performance and how he hacked it • The connection between mitochondria, memory, and metabolism • Why brain inflammation blocks focus and cognitive clarity • When to use cold therapy, hyperbaric oxygen, and stem cells for brain repair • How to know if your brain needs more acetylcholine and what happens if you overdo it • The best biohacking tools for focus, speed reading, learning, and flow state • Why your brain animal determines how you learn, lead, and connect Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking. With over 1,000 interviews and 1 million monthly listeners, The Human Upgrade is the top podcast for people who want to take control of their biology, extend their longevity, and optimize every system in the body and mind. Each episode features cutting-edge insights in health, performance, neuroscience, supplements, nutrition, hacking, emotional intelligence, and conscious living.

Car Guy Coffee Podcast Presents “#5Liner” feat. Amber Daniel Welcome to The #5Liner, the show dedicated to the individual journeys that power the automotive industry. It's not about the company; it's about the individual, their career, mindset, and personal story. In each episode, we sit down with a high-quality selection of Car Guys and Car Gals to get beyond the title and into the hard earned wisdom they've gained. Join us as we uncover the wins, challenges, and #5Line takeaways that have shaped today's top talent.  In this episode we're honored to share the story of Amber Daniel, Chief Revenue Officer at Cognition and a "40 slightly over 40" award winner. Amber shares her unexpected entry into the automotive world and her career path, from a Craigslist posting to a leadership role. She highlights the importance of surrounding yourself with good people, the creative problem-solving she learned from her mentors, and how her greatest career reward has been the relationships she's built. 

Listener Week continues on Woman's Hour as we bring your stories, ideas and the issues you want to hear about to the air.Carola got in touch to ask if we could find out more about the benefits of testosterone for post-menopausal women. Dr Joyce Harper, Professor of Reproductive Science at the Institute for Women's Health at University College London, joins Nuala McGovern to discuss the evidence. When we think about children in situations of domestic abuse, it's often young children we think of - but what about adult children? We received a letter from a listener telling us about a dilemma she is facing. After previously being in an abusive relationship with the father of her four adult children, she's now considering whether to tell them that their parents' relationship was coercive. Gemma Sherrington, CEO of Refuge, and coercive control expert Dr Gemma Katz join us to discuss the issues around a parent deciding whether to be honest with their grown-up children or continue to protect them from their reality. Jess wrote in to tell us about a poem she came across on social media about the post-partum period, calling it “absolutely beautiful”. She added: “There are hundreds of comments across Instagram and TikTok of mothers feeling exactly the same way. Please check it out, I would love to hear more from this poet.” We've tracked her down and her name is Amy Williams. She joins us to perform the poem live in the studio. Listener Sarah Hutchinson wants to know more about dreams. Specifically, why she has been having more vivid, memorable dreams during the recent heatwaves, and whether women's experience of dreaming is linked to the menstrual cycle? Sarah joins Nuala along with Caroline Horton, Professor of Sleep and Cognition and director of the DrEAMSLab at Bishop Grosseteste University. And listener Heather tells us what it was like setting up one of the first dating agencies in the 1980s, aimed at helping people in rural communities find love.

https://mikkoschoice.com/  https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8sx4s79c                   In this episode of the Pet Pig Podcast, Autumn dives into groundbreaking research from the paper Thinking Pigs: A Comparative Review of Cognition, Emotion, and Personality in Sus domesticus by Dr. Lori Marino and Christina M. The study compiles decades of scientific research and confirms what pig parents have known all along—pigs are highly intelligent, emotionally complex, and deeply individual animals. Autumn breaks down the most powerful findings from the review, exploring: • Cognition: Pigs are strategic thinkers who can understand symbols, solve multi-step problems, plan ahead, and remember locations and experiences—sometimes better than primates. • Numerosity: Pigs can recognize differences in quantity and make decisions based on past outcomes. They even sense fairness in food and attention distribution. • Emotion: Pigs anticipate events, mirror the emotions of others, and experience judgment bias—pessimistic or optimistic responses depending on their environment. Their ability to feel stress, joy, boredom, and empathy is backed by science. • Personality: Just like people, pigs have stable personality traits that influence how they interact, learn, and respond to training. Knowing your pig as an individual is key to building a strong bond.          This episode is a call to action for all pig families to recognize and respect their pigs not just as pets, but as emotional, thinking beings. It's a science-backed reminder that pigs deserve compassionate, informed care—and that understanding their minds makes us better pig parents.

Commentary by Dr.  Naoto Otsuka.

Commentary by Dr.  Jian'an Wang.

“More agile than a turtle! Stronger than a mouse! Nobler than a head of lettuce! His shield is his Heart! It's… El CHAPULIN COLORADO!”El Chapulín Colorado – The Red Grasshopper – was a Spanish-speaking television star loved by hundreds of millions of people around the world.The Red Grasshopper would shout “¡Síganme los buenos!” and leap into action whenever a ghost, a bandit, or any other threat appeared.(“¡Síganme los buenos!” translates to “Follow me, the good ones,” or “Good guys, follow me.”)And then he would run into a wall. Or tumble down the stairs. The results of following the lead of the Red Grasshopper were never straightforward. He had a good heart, but he was very poor, clumsy, and inept. His leadership would often increase the trouble, cause a mess, or create some other disaster that, through sheer luck, would always solve the problem.El Chapulín Colorado was Don Quixote dressed as a comedic superhero.Notice how these simple, concrete nouns are easy to visualize in your mind. “Turtle, mouse, head of lettuce, heart, red grasshopper.”And the verbs associated with El Chapulín Colorado are simple as well. “Leap, follow, run, tumble.”El Chapulín Colorado averaged 350 million viewers* per episode in Latin America alone during the mid-1970's and 1980's. The show has made $1.7 billion in syndication fees since it ceased production in 1992.Luis Castañeda, one of the Wizard of Ads Partners, recently sent an email to the partner group.Gentlemen,I was listening to this podcast “Outliers: Anna Wintour – Vogue” [The Knowledge Project Ep. #233] when I heard this comment:“Digital transformation isn't about abandoning what made you successful. It's about translating it to a new medium.”I took this to mean:“How can we translate what Roy has taught us into better digital marketing?”What do you think?LuisToday I will teach you a simple but profound answer to the question posed by Luis. In fact, I already have:These simple, concrete nouns are easy to visualize in your mind. “Turtle, mouse, head of lettuce, heart, red grasshopper.”And the verbs are simple as well. “Leap, follow, run, tumble.”Do you want to create better online ads? Avoid abstract words. Use simple, concrete nouns that people can easily see in their mind. Use simple verbs that are easy to visualize as well.Avoid abstract words. Use concrete words.Avoid abstract words. Use concrete words.Avoid abstract words. Use concrete words.And repetition is effective.Professional writers have long been familiar with that advice, but it was only recently scientifically proven. The publication is “Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition.” The paper is titled, “Concrete Words Are Easier to Recall Than Abstract Words: Evidence for a Semantic Contribution to Short-Term Serial Recall.” The tests were performed, and the paper was written, by Ian Walker and Charles Hulme of the University of York.Their paper is long and filled with scientific jargon, but this summary sentence is relatively easy to understand:“It is also apparent that the short words were much better recalled than the long words, and that the concrete words were much better recalled than the abstract words, with the possible exception of the first and last serial positions.”When Walker and Hulme refer to “the first and last serial positions,” they are referring to the long-established laws of Primacy and Recency. These terms describe how humans tend to remember the first item...

At the Artificiality Summit in October 2024, Steve Sloman, professor at Brown University and author of The Knowledge Illusion and The Cost of Conviction, catalyzed a conversation about how we perceive knowledge in ourselves, others, and now in machines. What happens when our collective knowledge includes a community of machines? Steve challenged us to think about the dynamics of knowledge and understanding in an AI-driven world, about the evolving landscape of narratives, and ask the question can AI make us believe in ways that humans make us believe? What would it take for AI to construct a compelling ideology and belief system that humans would want to follow?Bio: Steven Sloman has taught at Brown since 1992. He studies higher-level cognition. He is a Fellow of the Cognitive Science Society, the Society of Experimental Psychologists, the American Psychological Society, the Eastern Psychological Association, and the Psychonomic Society. Along with scientific papers and editorials, his published work includes a 2005 book Causal Models: How We Think about the World and Its Alternatives, a 2017 book The Knowledge Illusion: Why We Never Think Alone co-authored with Phil Fernbach, and the forthcoming Righteousness: How Humans Decide from MIT Press. He has been Editor-in-Chief of the journal Cognition, Chair of the Brown University faculty, and created Brown's concentration in Behavioral Decision Sciences.

Aperol spritzes, ‘Euro summers', and aesthetic beach pics. In episode 135 of Overthink, Ellie and David discuss all things travel. They discuss the differences how travel changes our relationship to the place where we're from, the difference between travel and tourism, and the place of travel in the history of philosophy. They go from Plato's views that young people shouldn't travel to Jean-Jacques Rousseau's belief that travel is essential for turning boys into men. They also explore the question, why do humans love to travel so much? In the bonus, your hosts debate over their relationships to phones and taking photos while travelling and dive deeper into what it's like to experience culture shock. Works Discussed: Francis Bacon, “On Travel”Agnes Callard, “Against Travel”Paul Fussell, AbroadMichel de Montaigne, “On Cannibals”Plato, The RepublicJean-Jacques Rousseau, EmileGeorge Santayana, “The Philosophy of Travel”Joseph Shaules, The Intercultural Mind: Connecting Culture, Cognition, and Global LivingEmily Thomas, The Meaning of Travel: Philosophers AbroadSupport the showPatreon | patreon.com/overthinkpodcast Website | overthinkpodcast.comInstagram & Twitter | @overthink_podEmail | dearoverthink@gmail.comYouTube | Overthink podcast

Welcome to episode 313 of The Cloud Pod, where your hosts, Matt, Ryan, and Justin, are here to bring you all the latest in Cloud and AI news. This week we've got an installation of Cloud Journey featuring Gartner and chaos AND an aftershow! We've got acquisition news, new tools, an undersea cable, and even a little chaos, all right now in the cloud. Let's get into it!  Titles we almost went with this week: From Vibe Check to Production Spec Node More Mr. Nice Guy: AWS Locks Down Access Until You Ask Nicely Grok’s New Feature: Ask Elon First The AI That Phones Home to Dad Musk-See TV: When Your Chatbot Needs Parental Guidance Oracle’s Federal Discount: 75% Off for Six Months (Terms and Conditions Apply) GameDay: Not Just for Sports Anymore Bob the Builder Center: Can We Fix AWS?

The deal follows a failed $3 billion acquisition attempt by OpenAI and Google’s $2.4 billion licensing and compensation package to secure Windsurf’s leadership, demonstrating the premium valuations for AI coding technology. Both companies develop AI coding agents designed to accelerate software development, with Cognition’s Devin agent and Windsurf’s tools representing the growing market for AI-powered developer productivity solutions. The acquisition ensures all Windsurf employees receive accelerated vesting and financial participation, addressing the disruption caused by the leadership exodus to Google. This consolidation in the AI coding space suggests smaller startups may struggle to retain talent and remain independent as tech giants aggressively pursue AI engineering capabilities.

[9] Debunking myths in education with Dr. Paul Kirschner This episode was first released on January 7, 2025. Description: - In this episode, Adam and Dr. Paul Kirschner discuss some of the biggest myths in education—like multitasking, learning styles, and the belief that Googling can replace knowledge. They dive into what sets experts apart from novices and explore how certain ‘desirable difficulties'—those useful challenges in learning —actually improve long-term retention, even if they're tough to stomach.    Length of Episode: 52:41  Resources to check out:  The Ten Deadly Sins of Education by Dr. Paul Kirschner  Bjork, R.

Scott Wu is the co-founder and CEO of Cognition, the company behind Devin, the world's first AI software engineer. On Friday last week they pulled off the acquisition of the year, acquiring Windsurf, following their licensing agreement with Google. Previously a world-class competitive programmer, he was a gold medalist at the International Olympiad in Informatics and a member of the U.S. Math and Physics Olympiad teams. Before Cognition, he was a founding engineer at Scale AI, helping shape the early AI infrastructure stack. AGENDA: 00:00 – Why are founders walking away instead of going down with the ship? 01:05 – How did Cognition pull off the $220M Windsurf deal in just 72 hours? 04:45 – What really happened behind closed doors the weekend Windsurf was acquired? 07:15 – Did Google overlook a goldmine in the Windsurf team and IP? 09:00 – Who are the 100 people that secretly shape the future of AI? 12:30 – Can application startups ever gain leverage over foundation model giants like Anthropic? 14:15 – Is coding about to be replaced by simply describing what you want? 17:30 – 50% of new code is AI-written. Where does that go next? 20:45 – “We've gone from 0 to $80M ARR in 6 months. Quietly.” 25:00 – Are IDEs and agents just the training wheels for the real future of software engineering? 28:20 – If you could only back one—OpenAI or Anthropic—who's the better bet? 30:00 – Why has Cognition kept its insane growth a secret… until now?    

A week of news surrounding Windsurf and Google (and now Cognition), why the Silicon Valley ecosystem as we've known it appears to be coming to an end, and why the hiring and acquisiton conventions emerging now are a clear win for big tech. From there: A counterfactual on the founding of OpenAI, and various reactions to Cloudflare's plans to block AI crawlers by default and offer a pay-per-crawl model to LLMs and websites. At the end: An email about having a second child spawns a discussion about parenting.

This week, we discuss Windsurf being acquired (again), how much AI agents really help with coding, and AWS launching Kiro. Plus, Matt attempts to design a new closet.

My guest is Dr. Marc Berman, PhD, a professor of psychology at the University of Chicago whose research explores how different physical environments—particularly nature and patterns found in nature—can positively impact our ability to focus, our cognitive performance and our mental and physical health. We discuss how our physical environment influences our attention, stress levels and brain and heart health. He explains how even brief periods in nature and exposure to natural images and sounds can restore and improve attentional capacity, reduce mental fatigue and help combat rumination and depression. Whether you live in a city, suburb or rural area, this episode offers simple science-backed strategies for incorporating nature and natural elements into your daily life to positively transform your cognitive ability and mental and physical health.

As a listener of TOE you can get a special 20% off discount to The Economist and all it has to offer! Visit https://www.economist.com/toe Physicist and philosopher Jenann Ismael joins to unveil a radical idea: free will isn't an illusion, it's a physical reality grounded in thermodynamics and relativity. In this conversation, Jenann explains why no system, not even a perfect computer, can predict its own future, and how this inherent unpredictability opens the door to real agency. We explore the paradox of identity, the limits of determinism, the role of memory in selfhood, and why your choices truly come from you. This is the clearest, most rigorous defense of free will in the age of physics.

In this thought-provoking **Market Mondays clip**, Rashad Bilal sits down with futurist 19 Keys to explore the transformative power of technology in today's world. The conversation dives deep into how artificial intelligence and quantum computing are shifting not only the economy but also the very way we think and live.19 Keys shares his compelling thesis on the current state of technology: imagine a world without the internet—it's almost impossible now. Soon, AI will be just as integrated into our lives. From boosting GDP as the workforce changes, to democratizing computer science around the globe, AI's reach is undeniable. But that power comes with both opportunities and dangers.The discussion moves into the concept of “cognitive surplus”—as AI takes over mundane tasks, it frees up human minds for deeper, creative thinking and innovation. 19 Keys argues we're entering a new cognitive renaissance era, where the ability to process, synthesize, and defend our thoughts is the new gold. In a landscape flooded with distractions and manipulation, especially in communities facing stress and limited resources, cognitive security becomes just as important as technological literacy.But it's not all utopia: 19 Keys also acknowledges AI's double-edged nature. While it can spur empowerment and renaissance, it's also a tool for psychological warfare—able to influence beliefs and manipulate vulnerable populations. For those able to harness both technology and mental discipline, however, a new age of enlightenment is on the horizon.Whether you see AI as a liberator or a threat, this clip offers crucial insights for anyone wanting to prepare for the rapidly changing future. Are you ready to embrace the cognitive renaissance?*Timestamps:* (If you'd like detailed timestamps, let us know in the comments!)*Key Takeaways:* How AI is redefining what it means to be human The risks of cognitive manipulation in the era of psychological warfare Why deep thinking and mental resilience are becoming our most valuable assets The real opportunities for renaissance and innovation, especially within marginalized communitiesDon't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more powerful insights from the Market Mondays team!*#MarketMondays #19Keys #RashadBilal #ArtificialIntelligence #CognitiveRenaissance #FutureOfTech #TechTalk #FinancialFreedom #BlackExcellence #AIRevolution*Our Sponsors:* Check out PNC Bank: https://www.pnc.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/marketmondays/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
