Gabrielle LyonHOST
1:00
Regardless of how it works out, there's going to be opportunities for growth."
Aldrich ChanGUEST
1:04
One of the biggest fears that, that, that I, I tend to see in my clinic quite a bit is the fear of uncertainty.
Aldrich ChanGUEST
1:09
When we don't know, again, it's can we be happily not knowing? Can we be okay in this unknowing?
Gabrielle LyonHOST
1:15
I know it's, it's totally complicated and individualized.

Aldrich ChanGUEST
17:02
I don't, I don't see it that way.
Gabrielle LyonHOST
17:03
Okay.
Aldrich ChanGUEST
17:03
I mean, if we think about the separation portion, uh, so we could talk about two specific functions, right? Or, um, there's working memory and there's inhibition.
Aldrich ChanGUEST
17:11
For example, the, the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex relates very much to inhibition as well, but, uh, the working, related to working memory, so it's, it inhibits or stops the immediacy of what's happening so that we can retreat into our minds and think about maybe what I'm gonna say next or whatever the case is.
Tommy GuyHOST
1:02
Now,
Richard ViewegHOST
1:04
I've got a bit of a problem hosting this one, and that is that I am in the very last part of the third book in this series because I can't stop reading
Sarah StockdaleHOST
1:13
it.
Sarah StockdaleHOST
1:13
No, you can't talk about that shit, Rick.
Richard ViewegHOST
3:31
So you plug in your haptic suit and you put on your headset and you get dropped into this world.
Richard ViewegHOST
3:37
So now we're exploring this VR world.
Richard ViewegHOST
3:39
In the last episode, we talked a little bit about stable and chaotic eras.
Richard ViewegHOST
3:44
So sometimes the sun predictably rises and sets, and sometimes it disappears or gets way too close, or you see all these different iterations of how the sun interacts with the world.
Jonathan BennettHOST
17:56
Let's, let's move on and let's talk about Windows software on Arm devices via Bottles, and Ken's got this story.
Jonathan BennettHOST
18:06
And, uh, I think we've talked about this a little bit before, but what is new, Ken, in the Bottles world?
Jeff MassieHOST
18:11
I'm kind of excited about the other part of it, too.
Jonathan BennettHOST
18:13
Yeah.
Rob CampbellHOST
22:53
Oh, God
Jonathan BennettHOST
22:53
... with the old rubber and it's already fallen apart? Like, it felt like that at first.
Jonathan BennettHOST
22:57
Um, I, I've used it a little bit and it cleaned up, so I, I think they probably shipped it with some goop on there to try to lubricate it, and once that unfortunately came off on my fingers for after using it for a while.
Jonathan BennettHOST
23:10
Uh, yeah.
Addison AndersonNARRATOR
1:40
Classical computers process data in the form of bits.
Addison AndersonNARRATOR
1:44
Each bit can switch between two states labeled zero and one.
Addison AndersonNARRATOR
1:48
A quantum computer uses something called a qubit, which can switch between zero, one, and what’s called a superposition.
Addison AndersonNARRATOR
1:56
While the qubit is in its superposition, it has a lot more information than one or zero.
Addison AndersonNARRATOR
2:02
You can think of these positions as points on a sphere.
Addison AndersonNARRATOR
2:05
The north and south poles of the sphere represent one and zero.
Addison AndersonNARRATOR
2:09
A bit can only switch between these two poles, but when a qubit is in its superposition, it can be at any point on the sphere.
Addison AndersonNARRATOR
2:17
We can’t locate it exactly.
DaveHOST
2:03
I hope it was the 80s.
DaveHOST
2:04
I got a whole bit on
AngusHOST
2:05
the 80s that I'm going to do, Dave.
AngusHOST
2:06
Oh, really? Oh, yeah, I'm a professional.
AngusHOST
5:16
Not me, no.
DaveHOST
5:16
Okay, am I going to get Ecoli or
AngusHOST
5:17
something? Fuck if I know, bitch.
AngusHOST
5:19
All of life is a gamble.
Tom BilyeuHOST
26:59
Thank you for that.
Tom BilyeuHOST
26:59
You've distilled something, and now we're off and running." So to sustain a business model, you do need to be a little bit ahead of your competition.
DrewHOST
27:08
Mm-hmm.
Tom BilyeuHOST
27:08
Okay.
Tom BilyeuHOST
27:23
Even if we say we don't want AI to get any smarter, we certainly want its level of intelligence now to be able to aggregate breakthroughs.
Tom BilyeuHOST
27:31
And medicine becomes the easiest one to talk about.
Tom BilyeuHOST
27:34
Gaming, maybe I have a bit more of an argument because it's just games-
DrewHOST
27:37
Mm-hmm
Dan PfeifferHOST
8:18
This is, it's, uh, this'll be really interesting to watch.
Jon FavreauHOST
8:20
Subscriber Shibbles&Bits.
Jon FavreauHOST
8:23
[laughs]
Dan PfeifferHOST
8:25
Good name.
Sean KalanichGUEST
2:47
Friend of the podcast.
Sean KalanichGUEST
2:48
Sean Kalanich with Decrypted Tech, also known as Bits, Bites, and Bourbon.
Sean KalanichGUEST
2:52
Awesome.
Sean KalanichGUEST
2:54
Welcome.
Mickaël PoitrasGUEST
13:17
dos.
Mickaël PoitrasGUEST
13:18
J'ai tout le temps mal au dos, H24 et le cou.
Mickaël PoitrasGUEST
13:22
Mais je suis habitué, je ne m'en rends plus compte.
Mickaël PoitrasGUEST
13:23
C'est comme une condition.
Mickaël PoitrasGUEST
13:25
Moi et mon père, on est de même.

Joanie GrenierHOST

C'est après
Mickaël PoitrasGUEST
39:02
ce qu'elle m'a dit.
Mickaël PoitrasGUEST
39:03
D'habitude, il faut acter.
Travis GoodspeedGUEST
23:02
It's actually a lot of fun, though, using an electron microscope because you can see an image like this and you can say, could you enhance there? And just like CSI, you know, just enhance.
Travis GoodspeedGUEST
23:11
Okay, so at this point, we have all of the bits marked.
Travis GoodspeedGUEST
23:14
And if I go to View and Bits, I have all the ones and the zeros here.
Travis GoodspeedGUEST
23:18
This is all of them.
Travis GoodspeedGUEST
23:19
This is the whole program.
