Book Recommendations | Russ Tedrake and Lex Fridman

[@andrewb777]

I want you to ask this question to every guest. Thank you Lex!

[@wuddadid]

Agreed

[@onepiecebarca]

Yes get this comment on top so that hopefully lex sees this

[@richardw8651]

I agree I'm always looking for book recommendations

You forgot Sapiens 0:47.

What I found interesting was his impression on academic papers. He’s spot-on that “almost none are worth ALL of your time.” But many are! I wish there was a reliable compendium of genius papers that was widely published for general readers. I’ve read papers that are far greater works of art than the “great” works they analyze-and they are more often that not from undergraduates! Because they haven’t been pounded down (yet) by the drab and highly conventional demands of academic lecture and dissertation. In fact, it tends to be the most unimaginative and least creative that rise in the academic world-very much to its detriment.

@@danm2756 you have à genius on your hands, make sure you do your best to keep him interested in that sort of thing for the sake of humanity.

[@hereticmorte666]

love these podcasts Lex, even though a lot of things go over my head but I like how they help me think in new ways

[@tomdellaringa-scifi-author]

I'm a user experience leader, not an engineer. But all these topics really interest me, and I listen as much as I can. It doesn't matter to me that sometimes the subject flies over my head. I am always learning something. I listen as much as possible.

[@Chyrre]

"How to read a book" mhm rather wait for the movie tbh

[@donwarner6925]

Chyrre I see what you did there..

[@gnulen]

"how to see the movie and pretend you read the book"

[@joshshaw9443]

How to Read a Book, tough read for those who don't know how.

[@juanpina5983]

How nice and thoughtful was that last insight. I salute you from Chile mr. Friedman

[@mriegger]

Man I love the honesty and humility in these conversations. I just came the from the sea of arrogance and nastiness called Reddit and wow, what a difference.

[@theglyph]

I just noticed Russ is missing his "pinky" finger on his right hand.

[@TreyWilliamsTV]

Not a Russian, but a kid from Louisiana, toking up a little, not understanding half the stuff you all say, and enjoying all of this content

[@Panos__P]

I precisely watch your videos Lex because they are so well structured haha! Thats what truly characterise you, that you dealve deep into a topic and not just talk. I might like that more than Rogan. So it does matter "just a bit" the structure you follow :)

[@dannybrown5205]

Please make this standard protocol lex

[@juliusreischauer345]

Love the last point Lex is making. This is something Elon mentioned as well. We all want a future where it is easy to get out of bed in the morning. Where we are so excited to get to work every single day to pursue something that matters the most to us. We have to inspire ourselves and get inspired by things like this podcast. “I’m excited about the possibilities robotics brings.” Me too man.

[@HigherPlanes]

Family is reason enough to get out of bed every morning. Anything else is just icing on the cake.

Great suggestions! I personally recommend "Ismael" by Danniel Quinn!

[@starlord7548]

I am reading an Isimov book, the foundation series, which is awesomely explained by the author.

[@osam4323]

Oh my Lex. That was close. I just smoked some weed and enjoying the hell out of this conversation. But I'm in Ghana not Russia and I'm 30. 😂

[@envowedsyntropist2555]

... not in Russia, I’m right here in the US. Where my Russian peeps that enjoy all manner of intellectual expansion?

[@SierraGax]

If forced to choose between breadth and depth, choose depth

[@scottfree1776]

The internet should be exploited by people like Russ to overcome technical issues. The Award could be an "Acknowledgement of achievement in Robotics from Boston Dynamics." Someone in the world will have what you need.

[@nottherealsanta]

Lex should interview himself :)

[@andrewaskins6914]

very cool steampunk mug

[@viralvideoguy1988]

Funny he should mention both Nassim Nicholas Taleb and Yuval Noah Harari. Taleb loathes Harari, and calls him a quack.

[@rtnjo6936]

I'm that guy, but from Kazakhstan) Amazing book recommendation, but how to find time to read them...)

[@ziquaftynny9285]

Funny I read that book about how to read books a few years ago in high school.

[@ErForce1]

Jeez Lex.. about your cynicism regarding meaningful human 'student-teacher' contact in a remote learning scenario - THAT'S what my startup is attempting to enhance and overcome! I gotta run it by you.. seriously!

[@derekcarday]

8:33 Lex disses Russ's lectures and asks him if he has seen how boring and painful they are

[@fatimalahcen7620]

☝️advice (as if I am in a position to give any.. but will do it anyway) .. remain true to you, Joe is Joe and you are you...yes sure ..there is always room for improvement everywhere for everyone... but even the small things like looking at your notes makes it your interview style..I personally find your style near perfect enough...:)

[@Jannikheu]

I absolutely think the same. I love the structure of the interviews/talks and that the conversation is NOT jumping erratically from one thing to the next

[@thirdgenerationanamoly6410]

We want to know whats in store for our futures lol

[@markstumbris4453]

I find myself replying with, yeah, great, of course. but we need to reply with, when, where, and how?

If you want to "edit clips better for attention span" double speed your videos before uploading. Humans can listen and understand at double speed. Think eminem speed!

[@AlexPizzini]

I think that's a pretty awful suggestion. Viewers can increase playback speed on their.

[@retromachine3743]

@@AlexPizzini Yes I understand that viewers can increase speed. How ever it could get done on a new channel (A duplicate channel) The android KZbin application can only double speed. If you have it at double already then could increase it more. By steps of 0.5 percent. Some people are slow talkers.
