Scraping Bits Podcast

Had another fun conversation with @DeGatchi on @ScrapingBits! podcasters.spotify.com/pod/s… Some things we covered: -- Why go through lots of concrete computational examples first before jumping into abstract proofs -- The importance of having a zoo of concrete examples -- The evolution of Math Academy's content -- How to identify the right "chunks" of information and the right prerequisites for the knowledge graph -- How to continue learning math as efficiently as possible after you finish all the courses on Math Academy -- Frustrations with the lack of existing ML learning resources -- How to know whether you're ready for ML projects or you need to learn more math -- The blessing and curse of intellectual body dysmorphia -- Harnessing reality distortion as a helpful tool -- Journaling and documenting one's life

If my writing/podcasts have resonated with you then you will probably enjoy @exojason even more -- best place to start would be his recent appearance on the @ScrapingBits podcast with @DeGatchi. We've spent thousands of hours in conversation over the past 6-7 years and those conversations have been a huge force in shaping my perspectives on education and talent development. (I met Jason and his wife Sandy right after graduating college, 21 years old, and they have been the biggest positive force in my life second only to my parents and wife.) Jason is almost the most prolific and interesting writer I know... and I say "almost" only because he never writes anything down 🤦‍♂️ So, if you have a chance to listen to him give a full overview of the past / present / future of @_MathAcademy_, perspectives on math education & talent development, some of his own backstory... you absolutely gotta take advantage of it. 👇 (tip: 1.6x speed)
