    Analytics, Linguistics and LLMs with Leif Weatherby
    Mar 23 2026

    We are joined by Leif Weatherby, author of Language Machines: Cultural AI and the End of Remainder Humanism, to talk about artificial intelligence: what these new technologies do, but more than that how the fact of their existence can teach us more about how language works. And then we continue down a variety of paths talking sports analytics, optimization, and other topics.

  • Champions League Round of 16: Second Legs

    Champions League Round of 16: Second Legs
    Mar 20 2026

    Why the "Premier League disaster" narrative doesn't really make sense, plus some capsule summaries of the eight matches and why there was not that much to learn from the second legs.
