Nvidia CEO'su Jensen Huang'a, 'hayatında tanıdığınız en zeki kişi kim' sorusuna cevabı:
- Tanıdığım en zeki insan üniversite giriş sınavından berbat bir puan bile almış olabilir.
- Herkes yazılım programlamanın nihai akıllı meslek olduğunu düşünüyordu.
- Yapay zekanın çözdüğü ilk şey ne oldu? Yazılım programlama.
- Zeki tanımı çoğu insanın düşündüğünden çok farklı.
- Gerçek zeka: Teknik yetenek + İnsan empatisi + Söylenmeyeni anlama becerisi
- Köşelerin ötesini görebilen insanlar gerçekten, gerçekten akıllıdır.
- Sorunları ortaya çıkmadan önce önleyebilmek - sadece havayı hissettiğin için.
- O hava: Veri + Analiz + İlk prensipler + Yaşam deneyimi + Bilgelik + Diğer insanları hissetmek
- İşte bu zekadır.
- Geleceğin zeki tanımı bu olacak.
Ve o kişi SAT'den berbat bir puan alabilir.

Finnish scientists trucked in real forest dirt and grass and laid it over the gravel at four daycare yards. They let the kids dig around in it for a month. The blood tests came back with changes the researchers hadn’t expected to see so fast or so clear.

The study ran at ten daycares in two Finnish cities with 75 kids aged three to five. Four of the yards got the forest treatment: about a tennis court worth of soil and grass laid over the gravel, plus planters and peat blocks the kids could dig and climb on. Three others stuck with their normal gravel yards. The last three were daycares where the kids were already visiting real forests every day.

After one month, the variety of bacteria living on the kids’ skin shot up, and the kind that helps train the skin’s immune defenses jumped the most. Their gut bacteria started to look like the gut bacteria of the forest-visiting kids. Their blood showed more of the immune cells whose job is to keep the body from freaking out at harmless stuff like pollen and peanuts, and overall inflammation dropped. The kids on the plain gravel yards showed none of this.

Childhood asthma in the US doubled between 1980 and 1995. Food allergies in kids jumped 50 percent between 1997 and 2011, then jumped another 50 percent between 2007 and 2021. And peanut allergies in one-year-olds tripled between 2001 and 2017.

The Finnish researchers think one of the reasons is simple: kids today don’t get dirty enough. 37 percent of American preschoolers now spend an hour or less outside on a normal weekday. Their immune systems are getting trained in environments stripped of the bacteria humans have always lived around.

Aki Sinkkonen, who led the study, put it in plain words: “It would be best if children could play in puddles and everyone could dig organic soil.” The Finnish government is now helping pay for daycares across the country to make the same changes.

24 years!

And her father didn’t just flee,he escaped persecution from the 1989 Democracy Movement at 25 years old with nothing.

His daughter just stood on top of the world in Milan with a gold medal around her neck representing the United States of America.

That is not a sports story…That is an AMERICAN story. 🇺🇸🥇

He was DEFEATED ELEVEN TIMES.

Attacked. Threatened with DEATH. Nearly blind.

Addicted to opium just to function. They told him to stop. He spent forty-six years refusing.

His name was William Wilberforce. Born in Hull, 1759.

He could have lived a comfortable life. Wealthy family. Safe seat in Parliament.

Instead he chose to destroy the most powerful economic system in the British Empire.

The slave trade.

He didn't fight alone. Thomas Clarkson rode 35,000 miles gathering evidence.

Olaudah Equiano, man who had been enslaved himself, gave testimony that no politician could ignore.

Wilberforce took their evidence to Parliament.

They voted no. He came back. They voted no. He came back. Lost by eight votes.

MPs deliberately stayed away so they wouldn't have to choose a side.

He came back. Again. And again. And again.

By now his eyesight was nearly gone. His body was breaking. He'd been on opium since he was 29.

Twenty years after he started, they voted again.

283 to 16.

The slave trade was abolished.

But he wasn't finished. Slavery itself was still legal. He fought for another twenty-six years.

In July 1833, lying in bed, barely able to move, he received word. Parliament had voted. Slavery was abolished across the entire British Empire.

Three days later, William Wilberforce died.

He held on just long enough.

They buried him in Westminster Abbey.

Watch this clip. Her words really struck me…not just because her son’s name is the male version of my daughter’s name, Orli.

Here’s to more light.

Happy Thanksgiving.
