Yin & Young Podcast EP 77: Nick Louie - Acting, Marriage, & Fatherhood
In this episode we're joined by my good college friend Nick Louie. We met as actors in the UCSD Theatre program, and were both part of the first UCSD Asian American Theater Festival. Since then Nick, has continued to perform in theater while also expanding his professional career in finance. During this time he got married and became a father. What's great about Nick is that he thinks very deeply and acts with intent in the different areas of his life, whether its acting, his marriage, as well as fatherhood. This was a great chance for myself (James), at the time of recording an expecting father, to hear from him what it means to be a father, and also to get Dan's perspective. This was a particularly important episode for me to chat with two Asian American men who are already fathers and it gets emotional as I recall my own father. We chat about what it means to be a new dad and how to balance passions/hobbies while also working together with your partner to raise children. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as we all had recording it. Thank you. - James Timestamps: 00:00:00 Intro. Snow in Japan.

Yin & Young Podcast EP 76: Matt Maybeno - AI, Machine Learning, Existential Risks & Benefits
Hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving! What a better way to enter the holiday season than to discuss with my ol’ college friend Matthew Maybeno how artificial intelligence will take away all our jobs (or not). It was great to reconnect with Matt and to see how he’s moved from biology into the tech space and thrived. His conversation with Dan and I is a great primer in understanding these new technologies and how to make better use of them. Dan also raises good questions about hallucinations and privacy concerns. Matt and I also reminisce about our dorm days and using high speed internet for educational purposes : ). Enjoy! - James Highlights 00:00:06 Intro. Disclaimer: Large shifts in the field since recording earlier this year, but key principles remain the same. 00:02:08 Matt’s use cases for artificial intelligence (AI) and his preferred Large Language Models (LLMs). 00:08:40 AI hallucinations. 00:11:23 Zero-shot prompting (get it right the first try), LLMs: subjective experience and training. 00:16:34 Pluses and minuses to different types of prompting. 00:21:49 Using AI as a tool to be more productive. 00:26:39 Matt’s early interests, working in biology, overcoming frustrations with math, now in the tech space. 00:45:10 Early internet memories: DC++, dorm networks, IRC, and the suite mate with a terabyte of adult videos. 00:48:28 What is intelligence?
