Can’t imagine how difficult it is for Jim simons to be too intelligent, he always has to dumb himself down a little to be interesting for us common folks this guy is the real deal the smartest billionaire in the world no cap
In total, this episode was really great, the questions were new, i wish you had let jim talk more about theblac box and medical community. He rarely encounters an intresting question like that
A travesty to see a couple sharing their life to have millions of subscribers and this channel only 120k. but also consistent with nature where most are spectators while a tiny bit are creators. Anyway, great podcast and interview. Thanks for sharing
Interesting that Simons should say that machine learning has been around for 15 years. I vividly remember learning about neural nets in the early nineties as a post doc and the tech was sufficiently robust to beat paramutual horse betting (as an example). I also remember that even early on, there have been programs that can out perform any medical diagnostician (that may have been more a matter of brute force than pure AI as we are talking 3 decades ago).. Anyhow, I was intrigued by these neural bets, but had to go and complete a medical residency and had more or less forgotten about them until a few years ago. Why the machine learning should all of a sudden explode is curious. Most days I'm not sure what to worry about more: AI or Global Warming?
It would be nice if the interviewer, no matter how accomplished, would remain silent and let Jim Simons speak his mind. I came here to learn about Jim Simons, not the interviewer and his thoughts about their connections, etc., with all due respect.
Let me discuss for 1 min with Jim Simons, In 1 min I will tell him his strategy. He uses very simple Logic. Jim Simons did not solve anything in Market. He Follow Smart Logic. Very Easy Logic no need to worry where market moves you will be profitable 🙂 I do not understand why people can not understand his Logic, So Many Hedge Funds non of them have SMART Brains.🙂
L.K. repeatedly throughout the interview kept interrupting Simon's (slow) thought and speaking flow and incipient responses, which was a frustrating loss. Simons was the person of MAJOR interest. L.K. also took way too much of the interview-time inserting and talking about himself, along with repeatedly muddling aloud (mostly to himself) about both what next questions to ask and confusedly groping to formulate them. These patterns are common to many of the interviews. L.K. seems a friendly and appealing guy, and gets good guests, but he is not a very good conversational-interviewer in so far as drawing the guest out and letting them incipiently reveal and go in their own way at their own pace and into their own response-space. He obviously has a list of questions and an agenda for the conversations, but in intruding and asserting them he often ends up impairing the quality and flow and duration and spontaneity of the guest's reveals and responses. L.K. should carefully listen to and study-learn from how Terry Gross does it.
No ... Krauss lights a fire under Jim ... Eric Weinstein would have been a fantastic interviewer of Jim ... for context lookup Eric's chat with Roger Penrose which is epic
damn, you managed to get Jim Simons on before Lex did. Awesome discussion. Can't wait for Lex to do it as well! Or Sean Carroll or Weinstein, whichever.
Wonderful window into the world of minds. Both Lawrence's and Jim's. Both are my fave kind of humans. Deep intellect and not pretentious loudmouths. I would be content to be the guy who makes their coffee and carries their bags. fyi.. I'm retired nuclear operations engineer, 40 yrs. Design, build, and operate nuclear power plants. For much of the time I wrote post TMI emergency operating procedures that took into account lessons learned from TMI.
Amazing interview. Perhaps only the interested rich can save universities, or create alternative institutes, for science based in intelligence rather than diversity.
Fun Fact. . . A typesetting machine manufacturer in the 1960s, “Photon”, based in the Boston area, had a facsimile Helvetica font named. . . Newton. . .
This is so enlightening and timely; Quantum Science, Quantum physics and neuroscience brings us closer to progress. Thank you for an awesome discussion Dr Jim Simons and Dr Lawrence Krauss.
Thank you very much for the talk. As a doctor I should add, physicians are suppose to be scientist and scientist first, but they should learn and use the art communication, mechanics( like surgeons), psychology, statistics, social and philosophy( moral decisions that sometime you got to make) and apply them to the patients or/and public health. Again thank you very much for the interview. If I may make a suggestion, it would be nice if less interrupt the interviewee. Very interesting interview with a very interesting person! Thank you.
Probably the worst interviewer with one of the great interviewees. I couldn’t even finish. Lawrence I apologize if this seems harsh but let the guest speak, nobody cares that you also know the graduate teacher that he worked with
There was an ego coming out that was unnecessary in Lawrence. Partly because he was worrying about the amount of time he had left throughout the interview. He did better than I would’ve interviewing Jim. I just wanted to share my observations.
i really like these podcasts. but practically every single one feels rushed towards the end. i wish you did 3-4 hours when needed like lex fridman does, so the he has enough time to ask all the interesting (and not) questions.
This man is brilliant, the knowledge that is needed to even understand what he says is insane, we’ve tried to break it down in our video, hopefully it will give you a better view of how you can learn and do exactly like Jim
29:30 - Brilliant man, but not smart enough to realize that cigarettes destroy your health and slowly kill you with every drag. My mom was a smoker and died from a horrible fight with lung cancer that made her suffer for years, struggling for every breath, before snuffing out her life far too young. My brother and I were left motherless, and my dad lived another 40 years, lonely and sad because he couldn't convince his true love to stop the disgusting habit of smoking. Give it up, Jim. You'll feel far better as you enjoy the final chapter of your life.
I think he knows that but doesn't care to change it. He's the most successful investor of all time, he's a multi billionaire, and he's lived an astonishingly fulfilling life. If he likes cigarettes and wants to go out that way I don't think anyone can change his mind
@@hakaishinkage9899 - Probably true, but from a moral perspective, should we think less of him because - besides not caring about his own health - he recklessly harms those around him, including children, by foisting his disgusting habit on anyone present to his addiction? There is now a great deal of research showing that second-hand smoke is just as harmful, if not more harmful, than the damage a smoker is inflicting on themselves. For me, the answer is YES! While he's obviously a brilliant mathematician, I am so disgusted by smoking that I personally think less of him as a person. That said, I'm not too worried about him not inviting me to his next birthday party because I voiced this opinion. Lol 🤣
@@etfoptimize1695 fair enough I don't think he wilfully smokes around children or others without their consent as that seems to be "smoker" etiquette so my respect for him and his achievements is still immense but I can see why smoking disgusts you to the degree that it does.
if u read the book written on him, it stated he got his genes checked and doctors says his body can handle it better than others... hes taking a statistically backed risk every time he puffs.. guess we could say he has an edge;)
I could not define my father by the job he had (He was upper management in the New Zealand railways ,,a leader of the workers) He was multi sectored Carpenter Logger Meat processor Famer Soldier friend. And much more than his job
what the fuck ? no ? it's not because he sometimes links what Jim Simons says to his personal experience that it makes a self interview, this is such an unfair disgraceful comment
"The heart of a good ... ", what? Samaritian? The timing of the interview could not have been better to ask Jim about the 7billion he had to pay back in taxes recently. And in light of his marvellous money machine, founding an institute through 'philanthropy' where he can hire scientists for his enterprise that produces no tangible value for society does not look so philanthropic at all. I am regularly amazed how narrowly scientist understand their own desire to 'question everything'. Its always some abstract thing that doesn't hurt anybody, never power.
despite the tone of resentment in this comment, krauss referring to this system as 'renaissance' instead of 'feudal' as we retreat from public institutions toward private patrons is certainly telling
@@h4ck3rd4wg Sorry for the resentment, but double speak should be exposed for what it is. And, indeed, I do resent it, because it is the most dangerous form of a lie, going from mouth to mouth without a conscious act of lying. Philanthropy will be the grace of the new kings in the upcoming feudalism, it deserves as much disrespect.
@@h4ck3rd4wg Just consider how many public schools could be funded from 7 billion $, the amount that was settled on, probably a fraction of what Jim didn't pay in due taxes. And yet we see the most clever people on earth bowing their head to him for spending a couple of million dollars on an institute that gathers the most employable people around. There is no philanthropy here whatsoever. He is simply a greedy man.
@@Ah4b Upcoming feudalism?? Are you suggesting that the impoverished majority will have to submit to the likes of Jim Simmons for military protection in the future?? You might be underestimating the sheer will of the lower class in modern society to repel such an absurd idea.
