The Human Calculator

Thanks to Mike Rowe and Chuck Klausmeyer for having me on the podcast. Got to tell a quick @realjonlovitz story about helping me out when i got to LA in 88, and talked about the @TheCountingBee, @TheHerkimer9 and the @HerkimerOGs. #basketball #history #Herkimer #LambertWill

Huge news! I'm taping my brand new special in Phoenix this Fall so come be a part of it! Presale begins tomorrow at 10am local, using the code SUSAN Tickets and info at JustinWillman.com

LEFT-HANDED PEOPLE: 1. Only 10% of the world is left-handed, and nobody fully knows why. 2. Left-handers process language in both brain hemispheres, not just one. 3. They are statistically more likely to become artists, musicians and architects. 4. Left-handed people reach anger faster but also recover from it quicker. 5. Studies show they are better at multitasking than right-handed people. 6. Most left-handers subconsciously hide their dominant hand in social settings. 7. They are overrepresented among geniuses,Einstein, Tesla, Da Vinci were all left-handed. 8. Left-handed people dream more vividly and remember dreams more clearly. 9. They are more likely to suffer insomnia and sleep disorders. 10. The world is literally built against them,scissors, desks, keyboards were all designed for the right hand. 11.

@JByGodRod Nice catch!

My wife just asked me how come she has never seen a black catcher, and i honestly had no answer?

JOE ROGAN: "I have the right amount of brain damage. I think it makes me more fearless." MARK NORMAND: "It's just like autism. If you have just the right amount you're a genius." JOE: "A touch of the 'tism. You don't wan't to be non-verbal, you just want to be really good at math." They get it 💀💀💀

Did you know the human brain generates about 6,200 thoughts per day? That's roughly 6 thoughts per waking minute. Your brain is literally running thousands of parallel processes continuously... and it only needs 20 watts of power. A single ChatGPT query uses the same energy your brain uses in 54 seconds. Your brain: 20 watts, 86 billion neurons. An NVIDIA H100 GPU: 700 watts, billions of transistors. Nature built better hardware

Math trick Ask someone to name a two-digit number. Let’s say the person calls out 13. You then write down 13 and keep writing consecutive numbers until you have 10 numbers in total: 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 What’s the sum of these numbers? All you need to do is find the 5th number from the left, which is 17. Then simply put a 5 to that number to get 175—and that’s the sum! Let’s try another example. Suppose for 69. You write: 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78 The 5th number from the left is 73. Put a 5 to get 735—and that’s the sum! This trick works for any positive whole number. You can even try it with three-digit numbers, like 420: 420, 421, 422, 423, 424, 425, 426, 427, 428, 429 The 5th number from the left is 424, and appending a 5 gives 4245, which is the sum.

@katywinge Please consider checking out the book ‘Nais-MYTH: Basketball’s stolen Legacy.

I found the most amazing book called “Basketball” at an antique shop in my hometown and I love opening it to random pages. Today’s lesson is about dribbling and how to do it well:

Bam Adebayo broke math. His 83-point game was 8.5 standard deviations above his career average (or ~1 in 53 quadrillion) Based on career avgs, its like: Patrick Mahomes passing for 915 yards Justin Verlander throwing 214 pitches in a start Wilt Chamberlain grabbing 79 rebounds

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang just said the quiet part out loud about what the education system will never admit. For a century, we built humans to think like calculators. The algorithm made that skillset obsolete overnight. Huang: “The definition of smart is somebody who’s intelligent, solve problems, technical. But I find that that’s a commodity. And we’re about to prove that artificial intelligence is able to handle that part easiest.” Software engineering was supposed to be the safe play. Superintelligence cleared it first. The SAT was supposed to measure intelligence. It was measuring the ability to follow instructions. Raw technical processing isn’t a competitive edge anymore. It’s the floor the machine stepped over before you woke up. The question isn’t what you can calculate. It’s what you can see before the data shows up. Huang: “People who are able to see around corners are truly, truly smart. And their value is incredible. To be able to preempt problems before they show up, just because you feel the vibe.” That vibe isn’t magic. It’s the collision of first principles, human empathy, and lived experience no model can fake. Huang: “That vibe came from a combination of data, analysis, first principle, life experience, wisdom, sensing other people.” The operators who see around corners will command the AI. The ones waiting for dashboards to update will be replaced by it. Huang: “I think long term the definition of smart is someone who sits at that intersection of being technically astute, but human empathy and having the ability to infer the unspoken, around the corners, the unknowables.” The unspoken variables are the new leverage. The human psychology inside a market. The invisible friction in a negotiation. The instinct to build something nobody asked for yet. You can’t spreadsheet your way there. You can’t prompt your way to that perception. It comes from decades of watching what doesn’t show up in the metrics. Huang: “And that person might actually score horribly on the SAT.” The future doesn’t belong to people who memorized answers. It belongs to people who sense the questions before anyone thinks to ask. The old system tested your ability to follow orders. The new one tests your ability to move through the unknown. And the machine can’t help you with that part. That part is entirely on you.

Here's a hard truth: AI is the most patient teacher there is. Use AI to learn AI. Zero to one. Take the first step. Ask, ask, ask, learn, learn, learn.

Solving Rubik’s Cubes, while juggling them.

Consider the number 144. It’s a perfect square. All its digits are perfect squares. On reversing, it’s still a perfect square. The sum of the digits is a perfect square The product of the digits is a perfect square. The sum of the digits is the square of the number of digits. The square of the sum of the digits of the square root is the sum of the digits.
