"Let me look this up on Perplexity: what are the technologies we modern humans have that the Mashco Piro do not?"

"Looking it up on Perplexity, real numbers include all the numbers that can be represented on the number line"

"First is Build a Large Language Model from Scratch and Build a Reasoning Model from Scratch. I truly believe in the machine learning world, the best way to learn and understand something is to build it yourself from scratch."

"He has a new book coming out in a few days titled Jungle Keeper that you should definitely go pre-order now."

"There's these, I would say, incredible apps like Suno, Udio. ElevenLabs Music is also great. They can generate basically text to song, full song from a text prompt."

"I'll mention to you offline, so the whole iZotope RX group of software that does a lot of the de-noising, all the removing the wind, all the, they integrate machine learning extremely effectively for working with audio in different kinds of ways."

"This happened about a year ago in January 2025, when the open-weight Chinese company DeepSeek released DeepSeek R1, that I think it's fair to say surprised everyone with near-state-of-the-art performance, with allegedly much less compute for much cheaper."

"For me personally, since we're talking about coding, and you mentioned debugging... the source of enjoyment for me, more on the Cursor side than Claude Code, is that I have a friend, I have a pair programmer."

"Nathan is the post-training lead at the Allen Institute for AI, author of the definitive book on Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback."

"He gave me this book that he has recently written, Echoes from Eden. Signed it."

"And he has a great blog, infinitelymore.xyz."

"One of your more controversial ideas in mathematics as laid out in the paper, The Set-Theoretic Multiverse, you describe that there may not be one true mathematics, but rather multiple mathematical universes."

"He is the number one highest rated user on MathOverflow, which I think is a legendary accomplishment. MathOverflow, by the way, is like StackOverflow but for research mathematicians."
