âI thought a lot over the last few years of how we can be responsible technology-makers and make things that make us more even⊠And I believe that we absolutely can transcend where we are in our current humanity. As long as we are building things that have this intent⊠Then the question becomes how can you tell whether you are building something that is helping or hurting.ââââCris Beasley
Big Data and Machine Learning with Nick Caldwell from LookerListen to the interview on iTunes, or Google Podcast, or watch on YouTube.
âMy degree was focused in Machine Learning, and I think nowadays when people ask me about that sort of formal education, I tell them, âYou probably donât need it.â You can get really, really far in Machine Learning and just focus on the practical applications of it, without having to understand the underlying Mathematics of it. I think thatâs a really powerful thing, that abstraction.ââââNick Caldwell

âHulu asked me for an interview, after I had already done the interview with Chris Smith, the director of the Netflix documentary, which wasnât associated with Netflix at the time. This was like September 17. I think it was just VICE when he was recording. I had heard rumors that they had Billy on as an interview guest and I decided that if they had paid Billy, that I wouldnât want to work with them. So I spoke to them and I asked, I was like, âdid you pay Billy for the interview? They were like, âno, we didnât pay him for the interviewâ. âWell did you pay Billy at all?â âYesâ. So it turns out Hulu bought his life rights, which I believe it means they own anything that he says in relation to this or not in relation to this, or rights throughout the rest of his life.â

âI first learned about Bitcoin from my father in early 2013, which was right after I graduated high school. So thatâs backwards! Iâm supposed to tell my dad about Bitcoin after Iâd bought a bunch of drugs with his cash, turned to Bitcoin, turned to weed, but it was backwards.â
Horowitz describes the ideal executive as someone who can engage in systems thinking and also see things from the perspective of other people. Horowitz talks of intuitively seeing the perspective of employees, but I think it also is important to intuitively see the perspective of customers and partners.
This made me think of Simon Baron-Cohenâs distinction between systemizers and empathizers. I interpret Horowitz as saying that a top executive needs to be really strong at both systemizing and empathizing. Given what Baron-Cohen sees as a trade-off between the two, one can see how it might be the rare person who is strong at both.
