Guest Editor for Summer 2025 edition. Curating research at the intersection of intelligence, technology, and human potential.
Philosophy
The art of restoration and renewal
Found at a secondhand shop in Napa, restored over three months with shell repairs and hardware upgrades.
"The approach to AI development mirrors conducting an orchestra - understanding how all instruments harmonize rather than building each one."
Attack
The initial strike sets everything in motion
Sustain
Holding the note requires consistent energy
Decay
Knowing when to let go is part of the art
Release
The silence between notes defines the music
Cross-domain expertise creates breakthrough solutions. The machine handles structure, humans bring judgment. Repetition builds neural pathways. Whether restoring vintage drums, developing speech technology, or mastering physical skills - the principles remain the same.
Mountain Mind
What skiing teaches about problem solving
A lifetime of skiing teaches you to read terrain, commit to your line, and adapt in real-time.
Skiing is something you can eternally enjoy and iterate on. You have to plan ahead. You have to be brave because the mountain can be intimidating. You have to be balanced. You can't always turn to the left. You can't always turn to the right. You can't always just go in the middle.
You have to be flexible and you have to be smart. You have to always consider your relationship to the mountain, other skiers, trees, objects on your path. There's so many things about skiing that influence how I see the world.
Plan Ahead
Read the terrain before you commit to a line.
Be Brave
The mountain can be intimidating. Go anyway.
Stay Balanced
Can't always turn left. Can't always turn right.
Be Flexible
Adapt to trees, terrain, and other skiers.
