And then after, because I remember as a kid, seeing like a Datsun and a Mitsubishi, and I remember thinking, but those were the companies that made the Zeros, because I was an airplane

kid, and...

The sum of zero elements is null in SQL and zero in Polars.

So his personal feeling is that Polars is more mathematically correct here.

Zero is the addition identity, although in practice, I think I'd find the SQL behavior more useful.

Did I get zero because my sensor is broken and didn't take any readings, or because it took readings which summed to zero? It's a difference that's easy to work around, but you gotta be aware of it.

And then he talks about another example regarding broadcasting.

But the mathematical achievements of the Gupta period go far beyond Aryabhata's work.

During this era, Indian mathematicians invented the decimal numeral system, and most importantly, the concept of zero.

Zero, the number that transformed mathematics.

Before this invention, performing calculations was tedious and complex.

The Roman numeral system could not represent zero.

What does human nature do with AI? Human nature has been around for hundreds of thousands of years, and it's developed certain ways of responding to things, especially new things, and it won't defeat human nature.

In evidence of that in your Zero essay, what was so interesting is that Bankers who were restricted to Hindu-Arabic numerals and a zero could be doctored, as I mentioned before, into a six or a nine.

So there was a concern about fraud.

One of the first things about AI was concerns about fraud.

Right.

Zero, on the other hand, is a highly sophisticated, specific mathematical state.

Let me use a modern equivalent that the book suggests.

Imagine a university student.

was

in 1990? How much fraud is OK? Is it point zero zero zero one percent? What did we determine the number was? What's the measuring stick that Mark Wayne Mullins uses? Zero toleration for crime.

Zero.

Right.

Imagine now what Doge found about carbon waste and corruption.

You might get sick in the long run, but you know.

how much slavery is tolerable, Ron, how much slavery is tolerable

to me? Zero.

And it's simply because of what he's wearing.

He snagged the highly coveted number zero.

Which is just wild to see.

The zero phenomenon is one of the most interesting cultural aesthetics to hit this fort in years.

For decades, the NFL had incredibly rigid numbering conventions.

Receivers were stuck in the 80s, then they successfully lobbied to open up the teens.

But the recent rule change allowing the number zero has created an entirely new stylistic currency on the field.

I mean, it is pure visual swagger.

Y, y eso creo que es lo que estamos haciendo aquí, ¿no? O sea, es como algo que, que lo siento como natural.

O sea, la gente me dice: "Ay, ¿como cuántas horas trabajas en el podcast?" Y yo: "Cero".

[risas]

Cero trabajo porque me, me consta que me encanta, ¿sabes? Como me-- I love what I do.

O sea, y no en-- and not in a cliché way, right? Like I, I love what I do and, and coming here feels like I'm coming to visit my friend's house in this podcast studio.

I lo-
