Two Psychologists Four BeersWhy Do We Care About Faculty Diversity? (with Azim Shariff)Many academics care about diversity in faculty hiring, but why? Azim Shariff joins the show to talk about his new paper where he describes rationales for diversity in hiring, and an as-yet unpublished study where he asked department chairs how much they actually care about those rationales. We also talk about the empirical evidence for the diversity rationales (it's mixed!), Paul Bloom's argument against viewpoint diversity, and the future of DEI policies in the U.S.
Plus, Azim deviates from his long-standing practice of not drinking beer.Special Guest: Azim Shariff.Links:...

科技前緣2025/10/20 Tesla FSD V14 衝擊波：純視覺 AI 的極限挑戰與算力晶片三國戰 (vs. NVIDIA vs. Qualcomm)🎙️ 節目摘要
本集深入解析自動駕駛兩大技術路線：Tesla FSD V14/Supervised 的「端到端」純視覺 AI，與 Waymo/Cruise 的「多感測器融合」（LiDAR、雷達、攝影機）。我們將探討 FSD V14 如何透過 10 倍參數規模的神經網路模型和 Mad Max/Sloth 等新模式，顯著提升停車及應對緊急車輛能力。同時，節目將聚焦硬體競爭：NVIDIA (DRIVE Thor/Orin) 如何以 2000 TOPS 算力與「雲到車」方案領跑 L3+ 市場，以及 Qualcomm (Snapdragon Ride Flex) 如何利用「艙駕融合」策略加速 ADAS 普及。最後，我們將討論自動駕駛在網路安全、功能安全 (SOTIF) 及弱勢道路使用者 (VRUs) 感知公平性等方面的倫理與法規挑戰。
📌 重點整理 Key Points
Tesla V14 AI 大躍進：採用 10 倍大 AI 模型與端到端神經網路，提升駕駛流暢度、停車能力，新增 Sloth 和 Mad Max 等駕駛模式。
感測器路線爭議：Tesla 堅持「純視覺」路線，但面臨冗餘性及惡劣天氣下可靠性風險；競爭者則採 LiDAR/雷達/攝影機多感測器融合，提升 L4 級無人駕駛安全性。
算力硬體競爭：NVIDIA 以 DRIVE Thor 的 2000 TOPS 算力瞄準 L4/Robotaxi 市場；Qualcomm Snapdragon Ride Flex 晶片實現座艙與駕駛融合，降低成本並達 ASIL-D 安全標準，加速 ADAS 普及。
安全與公平性挑戰：自動駕駛需遵循 ISO 26262/SOTIF 標準應對風險。此外，訓練數據集缺乏代表性導致系統對輪椅使用者或導盲犬等 VRUs 偵測準確度較低，亟需法規要求提升感知公平性。

TED BusinessDoes working hard really make you a good person? | Azim ShariffAround the world, people who work hard are often seen as morally good — even if they produce little to no results. In this episode, we're revisiting a talk by social psychologist Azim Shariff, in which he analyzes the roots of this belief and suggests a shift towards a more meaningful way to think about effort, rather than admiring work for work's sake.

Религия и Общество - Religiolog015 Атеисты в Исламе. Бывшие мусульмане, кто они и сколько ихЧто науке известно об атеистах в исламской культуре? Сколько отступников среди мусульман? Как #бывшие_мусульмане скрывают свой атеизм\неверие? Об этом этот исследовательский ролик.Согласно Отчету о свободе мысли от 20 года: атеисты в 11 странах с мусульманским большинством официально наказуемы смертной казнью за атеизм или вероотступничество (или богохульство в случае Пакистана). ((Это Афганистан, Иран, Малайзия, Мальдивы, Мавритания, Нигерия, Катар, Пакистан, Саудовская Аравия, Объединенные Арабские Эмираты и Йемен))). Что касается Судана, Сомали и Ливии то они лишь недавно отменили законы о вероотступничестве. Но так ли все плохо? Давайте разбираться, опираясь на недавние академические работы на эту тему и на мои личные интервью с атеистами из Саудовской Аравии, Пакистана, Малайзии и некоторых стран Африки.

Newsbeat RadioWhat will it take for humans to trust self driving cars?Popular ScienceOn March 18, 2018, Elaine Herzberg, 49, was crossing a road in Tempe, Arizona, when a Volvo SUV traveling at 39 miles per hour hit and killed her. Although she was one of thousands of U.S. pedestrians killed by vehicles every year, one distinctive—and highly modern—aspect set her death apart: Nobody was driving that Volvo.
