   Robotics' End Game with Nvidia's Jim Fan

   Jim Fan, who leads the embodied autonomous research group at Nvidia, walks through what he calls "the great parallel": robotics following the LLM path from pre-training to reasoning to auto research, but with world models replacing language models, egocentric video replacing teleoperation, and world action models replacing the VLA paradigm. Along the way: why he thinks we'll pass the physical Turing test within 2–3 years, why "compute now equals environment equals data," and why this generation was born just in time to solve robotics. 00:00 Introduction 00:30 DGX One Origin Story 01:42 The…

   Surprised by Joy: The Shape of My Early Life by C.S. Lewis

   For many years an atheist, C. S. Lewis vividly describes the spiritual quest that convinced him of the truth and reality of Christianity, in his famous autobiography. “In the Trinity Term of 1929 I gave in, and admitted that God was God … perhaps the most dejected and reluctant convert in all England.” Thus Lewis describes memorably the crisis of his conversion. ‘Surprised by Joy’ reveals both that crisis and its momentous conclusion that would determine the shape of Lewis’s entire life.

   How They Broke Britain with James Brien

   Something has gone really wrong in Britain. Our economy has tanked, our freedoms are shrinking, and social divisions are growing. Our politicians seem most interested in their own careers, and much of the media only make things worse. We are living in a country almost unrecognisable from the one that existed a decade ago. But whose fault is it really? Who broke Britain and how did they do it?

   We Who Wrestle With God

   In We Who Wrestle with God , Jordan Peterson guides us through the ancient, foundational stories of the Western world, analyzing the Biblical accounts of rebellion, sacrifice, suffering and triumph that stabilize, inspire and unite us, culturally and psychologically. Adam and Eve and the eternal fall of mankind; the resentful and ultimately murderous war of Cain and Abel; the cataclysmic flood of Noah, the spectacular collapse of the Tower of Babel; Abraham’s terrible adventure, and the epic of Moses and the Israelites: What could such stories possibly mean? What force wrote and assembled…
