How Hacker Culture Died (Ep. 289)
Friday Aug 29, 2025
Friday Aug 29, 2025
A nostalgic dive into the rise and fall of true hacker culture - from MIT's curious tinkerers to today's hustle-obsessed "founders." Plus, why IRC was peak internet and what we lost when convenience killed community. For anyone who misses when coding was about elegance, not exits.RetryClaude can make mistakes. Please double-check responses.

Robots Suck (But It’s Not Their Fault) (Ep. 288)
Tuesday Aug 05, 2025
Tuesday Aug 05, 2025
We were promised robot butlers and got Roombas that cry under the couch. In this brutally honest (and slightly hilarious) episode, Francesco dives into why the robot revolution fizzled, why your dishwasher still needs you, and how robotics became more YouTube circus than household helper. Spoiler: It's not the tech – it's us.

Your Favorite AI Startup is Probably Bullshit (Ep. 287)
Saturday Jul 26, 2025
Saturday Jul 26, 2025
The brutal truth about why Silicon Valley is blowing billions on glorified autocomplete while pretending it's the next iPhone.
We're diving deep into the AI investment circus where VCs who can't code are funding companies that barely understand their own technology. From blockchain déjà vu to the "ChatGPT wrapper" economy—this episode will make you question every AI valuation you've ever seen.
Fair warning: We're naming names and calling out the hype. Don't listen if you work at a "revolutionary AI startup" that's just OpenAI's API with a pretty interface.

Brains in the Machine: The Rise of Neuromorphic Computing (Ep. 285)
Wednesday Jun 18, 2025
Wednesday Jun 18, 2025
In this episode of Data Science at Home, we explore the fascinating world of neuromorphic computing — a brain-inspired approach to computation that could reshape the future of AI and robotics. The episode breaks down how neuromorphic systems differ from conventional AI architectures like transformers and LLMs, diving into spiking neural networks (SNNs), their benefits in energy efficiency and real-time processing, and their limitations in training and scalability. Real-world applications are highlighted, including low-power drones, hearing aids, and event-based cameras. Francesco closes with a vision of hybrid systems where neuromorphic chips and LLMs coexist, blending biological inspiration with modern AI.

In this gripping follow-up, we dive into how AI is transforming kinetic operations—from identifying a threat to executing a strike.
🔍 Highlights from this episode:
How AI compresses the OODA loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act)
The spectrum of autonomy: human-on-the-loop vs. human-out-of-the-loop
Real-world systems like loitering munitions (Switchblade, Harpy) and Selective Ground Response AI (SGR-AI)
The ethical and legal dimensions of delegating lethal decisions to machines
As the lines blur between algorithm and operator, we explore who—or what—is pulling the trigger.
