Intro — Season 2 momentum + what we’re covering

0:00Hello internet. This is your captain speaking, Lester Narre, joined as always by my co-host and our resident PhD, newly nicknamed some physics nerd Krishna Chowdery, courtesy of Young Jamie. >> Yes. How's it going? >> Um, it's been an interesting week. >> It's been it's been pretty incredible, right? >> I I I got a DM and it was a screenshot of your face. >> Yeah. >> And Joe Rogan's face. >> Yeah. And And I thought it was AI. [laughter] I thought it was just some deep fake and it was it took us a minute to find it. So, kudos first and foremost. We're back for season 2. We're super excited. Uh this week has been a little bit crazy

0:41because uh Young Jamie, the producer over at the Joe Rogan Experience, decided to reference our Nuno Lorero uh Christmas special episode in the middle of a UFO segment, no less. >> Yeah. >> Uh and it's that was very unexpected. >> Yeah, it it was pretty incredible. and he called us some physics nerds. >> Yeah. >> Point of order. Uh I am no physics nerd. Uh >> and it was a it was a it was a compliment to me. >> It was a compliment. It was a compliment. >> It was a compliment. You're an honorary physics nerd. I feel like you've uh you've learned a lot. >> Yeah. I mean I've learned a lot. So >> So look, if I can uh quote Navier Stokes equation off off RIP, you know, it's not it's not too bad. Exactly. Um

1:22>> we're going to dive in. We have a great episode today. We have a new segment that we're going to try out for uh in between one of our stories and we're going to talk about a variety of cool topics. We're going to start off with Roman concrete and then pivot over to our favorite institution, Princeton. Go Tigers for a new cognitive Lego. >> Yes. >> Which I love Legos. We can see from the Lego that's behind us here. >> Yes. But this is the [clears throat] Legos that make up our thoughts and our abstract ideas in our head. I think it's a very cool story and it's very cool research. >> Minority Report inbound. There was another deepseek moment >> uh took over the internet. They did a

2:03January's back to back. I think R1 was January last year. Yep. >> And now some new something about constrained >> manifolds. >> Manifold constraints. Very complicated. And we will end our story with our former classmates's favorite finance broology. It's our first economics story. >> Yeah. >> Uh that'll be interesting. And as always, we're going to get into the weeds of the research papers, the methods, the experimental design. You might learn something today because this is from [music] first principle.

2:44>> [music]

2:52[music] >> Okay. Our first story is about Roman
