Artificial intelligence is evolving at an unprecedented pace—what does that mean for the future of technology, venture capital, business, and even our understanding of ourselves? Award-winning journalist and writer Anil Ananthaswamy joins us for our latest episode to discuss his latest book Why Machines Learn: The Elegant Math Behind Modern AI . Anil helps us explore the journey and many breakthroughs that have propelled machine learning from simple perceptrons to the sophisticated algorithms shaping today’s AI revolution, powering GPT and other models. The discussion aims to demystify some of the underlying math that powers modern machine learning to help everyone grasp this technology impacting our lives, even if your last math class was in high school. Anil walks us through the power of scaling laws, the shift from training to inference optimization, and the debate among AI’s pioneers about the road to AGI—should we be concerned, or are we still missing key pieces of the puzzle? The conversation also delves into AI’s philosophical implications—could understanding how machines learn help us better understand ourselves? And what challenges remain before AI systems can truly operate with agency? If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform.

HIITCAST S2 E61 - Understanding the Pelvic Floor with Dr. Laura Meihofer 1:00:49

πριν 5 years1:00:49

1:00:49

Have you ever seen someone pee a little during a CrossFit workout? I remember watching the CrossFit Games a few years back and seeing it happen live on TV during box jumps. Sometimes, urinary incontinence is an indicator of pelvic floor weakness. In others, it can manifest as low-back pain. In this special episode, Dr. Lankford and I speak with Dr. Laura Meihofer, an expert in assessing and treating pelvic floor dysfunction. Dr Meihofer also debunks a lot of the pelvic floor strengthening trends, such as suspended lifting with a yoni egg. Find Laura on: Her website http://laurameihofer.com/ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/laurameihofer/ YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcTgM_qYmkZVMS1548I7eFA…

HIITCAST S2 E59 - Reassessing Calories 1:13:01

πριν 5 years1:13:01

1:13:01

This episode digs deep into the definition, interpretation and all the various ways in which we use the word "Calories". Dr Lankford and Dr Bennion dissect Calories in vs Calories out for weight loss, and how there are multiple factors contributing to weight loss that are higher priorities than energy balance, and debate whether energy balance really should be the foundation that many fitness professionals claim that it is. We address the Calories stored in a pound of fat, and how that figure gets misinterpreted for building muscle and the Calories needed to gain healthy weight as well. We talk about these topics and so much more in this powerfully deep episode all about reassessing Calories!…

HIITCAST Season 2 Ep: 57 - Pedals on your Bike 49:37

πριν 5 years49:37

49:37

In this episode, Dr Lankford and I talk about common misunderstandings among fitness professionals. We start by addressing "lactic acid" and how it's used so regularly ... while not necessarily being the most accurate description. And then the conversation turns into fitness business stuff, and how fitness professionals often feel the influences of the fitness industry defining/limiting their talents and skills. Eli proposes an interesting and profound analogy that an exercise science degree is like a bike without pedals - that on its own it's nearly impossible to be productive. But that we must attach out own pedals to that bike to really make it take off. In what ways do you attach pedals to your bike? Let us know the coolest and most creative things you're doing personally, or that you've experienced among fitness professionals, to develop and push health and fitness into a better space!…

HIITCAST 053 - What is Fitness? With Dr. Nathan Jenkins 1:23:40

πριν 6 years1:23:40

1:23:40

Have you ever critically thought about what fitness means to you? ...Should that definition be different from person to person, or should exercise scientists and the fitness industry have a unified understanding? Dr. Jenkins, PhD exercise physiologist, wrote an article in the CrossFit Journal ( read it here: https://journal.crossfit.com/article/science-jenkins .... for real, READ IT ) citing how many exercise science organizations have differing understandings, criteria and definitions of the simple word: "Fitness". We discuss the CrossFit definition of fitness by Greg Glassman, and it's beautiful simplicity in its physics based math. And this leads me to a handful of lightbulb moments! And we spend a lot of time talking about some of the amazing research coming out of his lab :)…

Bruce Pitcher is an inspirational dude. He lost over 200 lbs, and has taken his insights and experiences and wrote his own book, and became a coach and source of inspiration for so many more. In this episode of HIITCAST, I ask Bruce what weight loss strategies have worked and other strategies that are bogus based on his experiences, what it took/what he had to sacrifice in order to achieve such transformative weight loss, and he inspires us with his explanation of a major key to weight loss: Integrity!
