Fun movie I watched
On the plane last week, I watched a movie called A Samurai in Time. It told a fun story about a samurai in the throes of battle with his archenemy who travels suddenly through time landing in a modern-day TV set. Of course the TV show they’re filming is a samurai show.
This one was the right amount of humor, story, acting, and good values. Definitely worth watching.
Croup is horrible
My son had a weird issue and started breathing weird one evening and we had to take him to the ER. It was terrifying. In the end everything was OK, thank God, but man, croup is not a fun one. Breathing issues are no laughing matter. And croup specifically is unpredictable. Five kids can get sick from a virus, and one of them might get croup (an infection in upper throat that causes swelling). Totally unpredictable. Thankfully, it doesn’t make him more likely to get it again. It was a fluke basically. Freaked us out.
A podcast I enjoyed
In December, Tim Ferriss interviewed Dr. Fei Fei Li, inventor of ImageNet, cofounder of World Labs, and known as the “godmother of artificial intelligence.” ImageNet was instrumental in the deep learning process that ended up being a breakthrough step to what we know as AI today.
The interview itself covered a lot of ground from Dr. Li’s childhood in China and move to the United States, to her time at Stanford and Princeton, and the research she led in the early days of machine learning to her time at Google and later founding of World Labs.
And if you want to see what they’re up to at World Labs, here are some interactive examples you can explore.
