That Nerdy Catholic

Our latest Nerding Out is live. Cesar and Seth talk about the language we use with AI and how it impacts how we perceive it. I would love to know what you think of this episode and what other words related to AI you would like us to talk about.

In this episode, Seth and Cesar pull back the curtain on the "language of AI" to show how the words we use, like learning or deciding, can actually trick us into thinking machines are more human than they really are.

The latest Nerding Out is up. Cesar and Seth explore some of the inner workings of AI, neural networks, and large language models.

Building off of the previous episode where we looked at neural networks, the basis for all AI, we explore how these neural networks are used to comb through large quantities of text, find its meaning, and respond with language that is easy to understand. We also touch on the benefits of running your...

The latest Nerding Out is up. We look at some of the great minds of the late classical physics era From Kepler to Newton to Bernoulli. It's amazing to see why these people made the discoveries they made and how their faith in a God of order played a part in their work.

In this episode they focus on Roger Bacon, the medieval polymath who pioneered the scientific method who will captivate and inspire you.

Roger Bacon was a medieval superhero, making groundbreaking discoveries and using the scientific method over 700 years ago before there was a scientific method. As a Franciscan friar, he had to overcome a few hurdles to do scientific research but also stick to his vows. Luckily, he had Pope Clement IV supporting him so he could work on his experiments and writing. Seth and Cesar dive into some of his most significant breakthroughs and the struggles he went through.

In this episode, Seth and Cesar embark on an fascinating journey through the annals of history, examining the remarkable work of Eratosthenes – the ancient Greek polymath who dared to challenge conventional wisdom by not only theorizing that the Earth was a sphere but also calculating its circumference with astonishing accuracy. This pioneering achievement marked a pivotal moment in the development of physics and our understanding of the universe.

Discover how Anaximander proposed a flat Earth floating in space, with the Sun and Moon moving around it in circular paths - a radical concept that laid the foundation for later astronomical discoveries.
