I think both can be true - ie. We can harness energy from the sun at much bigger scale than nature has so far, yet we can still learn a lot from how nature has spent massive parallel search over millions of years on coming up with incredible nano engineering we still have no clue how to do


I think Jeff Dean is right in that we will see much more specialised silicon in the future.

If something more bio inspired ie. predictive coding and in-memory compute fundamentally makes continual learning and much lower energy consumption possible there will be specialised hardware for it at some point

FWIW I think the brain has multiple “learning rules” and operates at multiple timescales


Which era Trane are you talking about? The man went through at least 4 major shifts. I’m guessing you are talking about Giant Steps and the later avant garde years?

He did a lot of stuff too which is not dense at all and very approachable - Naima, A Love Supreme, My Favorite Things, Kind of Blue with Miles, a lot more, enjoyable, classic albums.

Dig deeper


It's all subjective. The idea that none of these are dense is pretty bonkers to me. Some people don't find hard-bop to be approachable. Kind of Blue is really more the exception to his typical output.


the songs you mention are ones that I've played time and again for 40+ years. Never get tired of them.

Giant Steps is more abstract but still worth dipping into once in a while.

Here is a musical analysis of Giant Steps (basically the Circle of Fifths):

Plus you get the license for free when you buy a camera from them!

I’ve been using DaVinci Resolve Studio for 12 years now with frequent updates, with the license I got with the original Pocket Cinema Camera for £800 (still a fantastic pocket size cinema camera, shoots raw cinemadng and ProRes with a beautiful sensor).

One of the best founders and companies around.
