Abstraction & Idealization: AI's Plato Problem [Mazviita Chirimuuta]

Professor Mazviita Chirimuuta discusses the philosophical underpinnings of neuroscience, challenging the brain-as-computer metaphor. She introduces 'haptic realism'—a view of knowledge as interactive and constructed—and argues for the inseparability of embodiment, finitude, and true understanding in both humans and AI.

The ML Technique Every Founder Should Know

YC Visiting Partner Francois Chaubard and YC General Partner Ankit Gupta break down diffusion, the machine learning framework behind generative AI models like Sora and Midjourney. They discuss its core principles, trace its evolution from complex KL-divergence methods to the elegant simplicity of flow matching, and explore its vast applications beyond images, from protein folding to robotics, arguing it's a key component for future AI systems.

Effect Oriented Programming • Bill Frasure, Bruce Eckel, James Ward & Andrew Harmel-Law • GOTO 2026

Authors Bill Frasure, Bruce Eckel, and James Ward discuss the core concepts of Effect-Oriented Programming. They explain how effects are composable operations that encapsulate side effects and defer execution, allowing developers to manage unpredictability with compiler-checked types. The conversation covers ZIO, the expansion of effect systems into languages like TypeScript and Kotlin, and their unique, constraint-driven writing process.
