He also shares how accountability has been a crucial part of his journey and its role in fueling his passion for extreme sports. “Our best ideas come to us in the shower.

Mike Tamir is the Head of Data Science at Uber ATG. He is a leader in data science, specializing in deep learning and distributed scalable machine learning, and he’s also a faculty member at UC Berkeley.   Mike has led several teams of Data Scientists in the San Francisco Bay Area as Chief Data Scientist for InterTrust and Formation, Director of Data Sciences for MetaScale, and Chief Science Officer for Galvanize, where he oversaw all data science product development. He also created an MS degree program in Data Science in partnership with UNH.   Mike began his career in academia serving as a mathematics teaching fellow for Columbia University and graduate student at the University of Pittsburgh. His early research focused on developing the epsilon-anchor methodology for resolving both an inconsistency he highlighted in the dynamics of Einstein’s general relativity theory and the convergence of “large N” Monte Carlo simulations in Statistical Mechanics’ universality models of criticality phenomena.   The focus of today’s conversation was on his fake news detection AI project called Faker Fact.   Show notes:   0:00 First, a life update from AJ. Read about his new opportunity in Portland here on his blog. 5:28 What is the evolutionary explanation for why a human’s capacity for careful, rational thought often takes a back seat to emotion? Explained in a comic on the project website. 6:17 Emotions often win over rational though, but as a result, it can be difficult to think clearly on issues we’re passionate about. 7:05 Why people should be aware of their emotional biases, even though it’s not our fault that we have them. 7:50 Why Facebook deleted over a billion fake accounts recently, and why fake accounts, clickbait, blatantly false content, and other forms of fake news are everywhere on social media. 9:10 What mechanisms can we put in place to counterbalance the parts of our nature that compel us to create and engage with content on an emotional level? 9:51 Since a majority of our information is second-hand, how do we distingush what’s really true? 11:44 How did Mike become motivated to pursue this problem, on top of his full time job at Uber ATG? 12:45 How can we tackle “fake news” without censorship? 16:40 Post-Walter Cronkite era, how do we create a sense of credibility and neutrality in our information? 21:00 Why would it be a mistake if the algorithm learned to only classify right or left wing content as fake news? 22:19 The algorithm only looks at the title and words on a page, not the url. 23:15 How Walt (the FakerFact AI) classifies different types of content. Satire, journalism, etc. 26:46 How do you strike the balance of entertainment and informativeness in content? 31:10 What features and characteristics defines each different category of content that Walt identifies? 36:16 What is Walt’s ideal use case? 36:55 You can use the FakerFact Chrome extension to view the “nutrition facts” of the page you’re reading. 37:42 How does research on run-on sentences and other grammatical choices help Walt understand and score an article? 40:34 What techniques were used to train the Walt AI? 42:41 A discussion on the use of wisdom of the crowds in algorithms. 45:30 What makes it difficult to use the wisdom of the crowds when answers are too closely correlated (because of political affiliations or the news cycle?) 46:47 Visit Humanetech.com for tips on regulating your daily notifications and escaping the “24-hour news cycle” to prevent media from controlling your emotions. 50:15 Rapid fire questions! 52:27 Mike’s advice to his 20 year old self. 52:40 What was his best investment in himself? 53:18 The Deep Learning Book a starting point for basic literacy in data science. 53:20 Mike, like lots of guests on this show, makes a distinction between things he believes but couldn’t prove right now, and believing things for no good reason.

Today’s episode features sport performance coach and consultant, Walt Cline.  He is the founder of AMPS Training Systems.  Coach Cline has served as an assistant athletics coach, private coach and consultant to teams and programs at multiple levels in the USA. His athletic projects include thousands of prospective scholastic athletes, collegiate athletes and professional athletes.  Cline's work and contracts are based primarily on movement biomechanics, team Sports, throwing & striking sports, speed development, strength & conditioning and curriculum design. Our chat revolves around Walt’s arrangement of training, which features block and roll-over arrangement of three distinct training days: strength-endurance, strength and velocity.  I first learned of Walt’s work about 6 years ago, and found his approach to periodization, potentiation and cluster training unique and insightful. Walt is one of those guys you haven’t heard much about, since he is not very active on social media, but his experiences, mentors and knowledge of speed and power development is of an extremely high level.   I’ve always been a huge training organization and structure guy.  I won’t write out a whole season before I get there, but I like frameworks and ideas for arranging training that make sense.  I am always thrilled to see a system of training in place that makes complex ideas simple, and helps me to understand what is doing on with my athletes, and how to better give them what they need as a season unfolds.   In this episode, Walt gives a thorough explanation of his workout classification, which works on a color system, and matches what is happening on the track and in the weightroom.  It has resemblance to training structures such as the Cube system, as well as Dan Pfaff’s 3-day rollover, but is free-flowing and easily adaptable to any situation. Simply having an idea of how Walt does program design is sure to give any coach great ideas on how to make what they are doing even better. Today’s episode is brought to you by SimpliFaster, supplier of high-end athletic development tools, such as the Freelap timing system, kBox, Sprint 1080, and more.   Key Points: Walt’s background as an athlete and coach How Walt creates and arranges workouts based on a “color” system of strength endurance, maximal strength, ballistic strength and regeneration Using isometrics for potentiation when working speed and velocity How Walt creates blocks of training out of season and in-season using a revolving or blocked periodization of his color system (strength-endurance, maximal strength, velocity) Chat on blocked training vs. undulating training models, as well as progressing weekly based on a “color” theme Integrating cluster training into Walt’s training system Quotes: “I may do the same thing three weeks in a row, but it will have a very different intensity each time” “To do high repetition efforts, eccentric and isometric holds, all this stuff helps because it helps them build the stability of doing the exercise correctly, and once they start doing that, then we are ready to pick up some heavier weight” “Red zone being strength endurance, on the track a 300 example is running a 30 down and back 10 times and trying to get under a minute.  White zone approach running the 300 zone is down and back with 20 second rest, 5 times, or run 10 hills. The blue zone model would be, run a 30 as fast as you can with a walk-back“ “In the weightroom, what I try to do is match up the energy systems.  If I have a guy working strength endurance in the weightroom, I want to do that on the track” “If we are working on pushing or pulling heavier sleds, we’re picking up heavier weights in the weightroom” “A couple of ways I like to potentiate, have them do a quarter squat or a mid-thigh pull, have them take 3-5 minutes, then have them blast out and perform their first few push steps in their sport.”

On this week's episode we discuss our season updates to this point. I elaborate on some new found success and recent encounters. Topics Discussed- Layton's potential trip to Illinois- Chase's trip to Kansas - Florida and South Georgia's Acorn crop- How Walt gets really hyped over deer hunting.  We are still doing our giveaway for reviews.
