And so that might feel very different than in other educational settings where the pathway to, say, your undergraduate institution may have involved a placement exam or some form of kind of national testing scheme Rather than that hitting some minimum bars, we're trying to, again, flip the perspective to understand who you are,what are the spaces you've moved through.
At the same time, I was like super stressed out. Exam season was coming along.You guys call them finals.
It's one of a chain of IIT's around the country. They are often called the MIT of India. It's incredibly hard to get into. Only 2 or 3% of applicants make it in on this intense national exam . And not only is this out of the way place home to this elite campus, it's also very much connected to the new global network of knowledge and talent mobility that I'llbe talking about a little bit more. My first day as I usually do, when I visit a campus, I went to see the President, known as the Director, a guy named M.S. Ananth right here,

was rather uncomfortable. So I was still a medical student then. Because I had no idea what this was going to be like. The two of us were directed to an examination room and I held my breath as we stepped through the door. There on the exam table sat a 25-year-old man looking more annoyed than traumatically injured. He wore a bright purple vest over a lime green shirt and sported
the other uh the president says things that just are clearly not so. And I'll I'll give you one particularly obvious example that quite pained me was a week ago on Monday when the president came out and announced all of a sudden, "Okay, we're charging 20% tolls on every ship that goes through the strait. We're going to collect it." I don't know if
But when they later reexamined this using DNA as evidence, it completely flipped the field on its head, and it turned out that even the most experienced FBI examiners would routinely claim they had a match between hairs that were from two different people. And they sometimes couldn't even tell the difference between a human hair and a dog hair.
blocks to be able to build the solution for them. But if there is a way for me to connect other pieces and build that and I think that's that's part of the magic of what's happening in India examples where you have lots of uh for example helping nurse practitioners uh engage better with uh patients like who might have dementia or people who who have mental health issues
pretty stupid or dangerous infections. Then there's also toxins which is little things bacteria produce that fool our own regulation mechanisms. So for example with toxin producing bacteria that cause diarrhea, they will go in between our gut cells and there is um a place where they can initiate diarrhea and by doing that the cells will then you know spread a little bit and let all the liquids through so diarrhea can happen. Um but this is just used by
exist?" I said, "Yes, they do exist." And we all had a laugh. And if somebody says, for example, what was Hitler's surname? That's funny. We might have a bit of a giggle about it. Those are examples of harmless ignorance. Now, Bonhoeffer says that isn't the same as stupidity. Now, stupidity becomes dangerous when it walks through the corridors of power. Stupidity becomes dangerous when we surrender our own critical thinking and we outsource it to somebody else. It's when we let a political party, a group, a tribal identity do the thinking for us.
conversation about what do you want us to do about it. And they'd say, "Well, we have photos." And they'd say, "Well, what are the photos of? Well, we've got a photo of his black eye." And I'd say, example of what you're talking about too, which is you can have something like that and go, "Well, holy cow, something like that should never happen in a society like ours." And then what ends up
Because we are very intentional about the phrasing and the words that we're using because we're trying to, A, give you enough range and space to pick through examples and give you enough kind of leeway that there can be something that is meaningful for you that still fits within what are the details that we're trying to source.

- And just this one has two hundred and forty thousand. Every cycle matters. We are talking about probably three billion devices which are going to decode video nonstop because, for example, thirty percent of the video from Netflix is now in AV1, fifty percent of YouTube. - This is what peak video codecs should look like.
- It's a property of infinity that sometimes when you add an element to a set, it doesn't get larger. That's what this example shows. But one can go on with Hilbert's Hotel, for example. I mean, maybe the next day, you know, 20 people show up all at once. We can easily do the same trick again, just move everybody up 20 rooms. And then we would have 20 empty rooms at the bottom, and those new 20 guests could go
categories are complete and are cutting nature at its joints, we are going to be very poorly placed to recognize novel systems. So for example, a lot of people will say, "Well, this is intelligent and this isn't," right? And there's a binary thing. And that's useful occasionally; that's useful for some things. I would like to say, instead of that, let's make a
