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.

Last week we recorded live at the Umbraco Codegarden conference in Denmark!

Toots, Tweets and Time Management 55:39

55:39

It's been 18 months since Elon Musk acquired Twitter and there's no denying he changed it irrevocably. We discuss how much we still miss the Twitter of old, and whether the Fediverse alternatives are bridging the gap. We also talk about that most precious resource: time. We share our different approaches to time management and task organisation, from doodle-filled hand-drawn lists to To-Do apps and color-coded calendars. And when we do have some spare time, are we doing open-source contributions out of obligation, or because they bring us joy?

The First Rule of the Microsoft MVP Summit 48:42

לפני 50 weeks48:42

48:42

... is NOT "don't talk about the Microsoft MVP Summit". Quite the opposite, in fact, as you're actively encouraged to post on social media that you're there ( #MVPSummit ). You just can't share any of the information from the sessions as all the content is under NDA. Emma and Lotte (aka 50% of Candid Contributions) were at the Microsoft Campus in Redmond for the summit last week. They spent time with a lot of interesting, clever and inspiring people, and were lucky enough to convince five of them to appear in this special not-so-short 'minisode'. Listen to find out what Emma, Lotte and these fabulous five got from being at the event: Shaun Lawrence - Microsoft MVP, author of ‘ Introducing .NET MAUI ’ Jamie Taylor - Microsoft MVP, host of The Modern .NET Show podcast Hannes Lowette - Microsoft MVP, Head of Learning & Development at Axxes Idan Gazit - Senior Director of Research at GitHub Next Luce Carter - Microsoft MVP, Developer Advocate at MongoDB Show links What is the Microsoft MVP Summit?

There are many ways to contribute to an open-source software community, such as attending a meetup, giving a talk at a conference or writing a blog post. In this episode we talk to Erica, Janae and Kyle: the team behind Skrift, the online monthly magazine for the Umbraco community. Eight years ago they decided to start this initiative and 100 issues later they're still going strong! Listen to discover how it came about, why they still do it, and perhaps get inspired to contribute an article yourself... We also discuss some exciting news from Lotte, the challenges of making consistent contributions to open source, delivering technical talks and some delightful tangents into pop culture!

Conferences, meetups, coding retreats … we discuss all sorts of in-person events and why they’re so important for a healthy community. Organising them is a lot of work, but perhaps this type of open source contribution is the most valuable... We're delighted to have been joined by Cat Todd from Gibe Digital, and we talk about her recent experience of putting on the excellent Umbraco Spark conference. We also discuss the 3 day Umbraco developer ‘unconference’ CODECABIN and why you should get your application in before the deadline of July 7th. Join us to hear all this plus chat about tulip colours, fist-pumps and - hurray - another Laura analogy!
