| 10/29/25 | The Turing Test | This episode is about the Turing Test, and Alan Turing's original description of the test in Computing Machinery and Intelligence. We also discuss a recent work by two UCSD researchers that claims that current LLMs pass the Turing Test.

| 10/15/25 | Ubiquitous Computing | In 1988 Mark Weiser of Xerox PARC coined the term "ubiquitous computing", and in 1991 he spelled out the particulars of this concept in a Scientific American article called "The Computer for the 21st Century". We discuss whether or not Weiser's vision was achieved. It's hard to argue that computers are now all around us, but it doesn't seem like they've faded into the background as Weiser hoped.

| 10/1/25 | The Two Problems With Regular Expressions | This week we're talking about regular expressions, aka, regex. These are a favorite tool of programmers, but they also have a dark side. Do regex cause more problems than they solve? Can they be evil? We also discuss the origins of regular expressions, formal language theory, and finite automata.

| 9/4/25 | The History of Unix: Part 1 | This week we talk about the early days of Unix, primarily based on Brian Kernighan's book Unix: A History and Memoir, about his days at Bell Labs and the creation of Unix and C by Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, and other luminaries. https://www.amazon.com/UNIX-History-Memoir-Brian-Kernighan/dp/1695978552 https://dsf.berkeley.edu/cs262/unix.pdf https://cs3210.cc.gatech.edu/r/unix6.pdf Send us Fan Mail | 1h 00m 14s | ||||||
| 8/20/25 | Space, Time, and Squishy Pebbles | This week we dip our toes into the river of theoretical computer science and immediately drown. We discuss the amazing and surprising result of researcher Ryan Williams about how space is a more powerful resource in computing than time.

| 8/8/25 | Databases Part II: No SQL, No Problem | This week we try to make sense of what were once called "NoSQL" databases, focusing on the early entries into the field like Bigtable, Dynamo and Cassandra. We try to explain how they differ from prior database systems and what motivated their creation.

| 7/24/25 | Vibe Coding: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly | This week we host our friends Bobak Farzin and Kevin Fahey to talk about their experiences building applications with AI tools. Both Bob and Kevin are very tech savvy in different ways, but neither is a full-time software developer. Yet both have had good experiences building functional applications with tools like Cursor and Claude Code. We discuss the benefits and drawbacks of these tools, and the challenges that Bob and Kevin found in building their own software. “Andre... | 1h 08m 21s | ||||||
| 7/9/25 | Friends and Relations | We're talking about databases again. Or database management systems, we're not totally sure. In any case, they are relational databases (or database management systems). The relational database has been the go-to system for storing structured data since the 1980s, and is still the most popular type of system to use for applications and business reporting. We discuss their history, what makes them relational, and our experiences with some of the better known commercial and op... | 58m 29s | ||||||
| 6/25/25 | Shoulders of Giants: Jim Gray | Jim Gray was a key innovator in the area of database technology and he won the Turing Prize in 1998. He was particularly influential with respect to the definition and formalization of transactions, and he identified and named the A, C, and D of ACID. Gray, an avid hiker and sailor, disappeared in 2007 while sailing out of San Francisco to the Farallon Islands, and no trace of him was ever found. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/video/behind-the-code-with-jim-gray/ http... | 1h 04m 29s | ||||||
