I found his interviews with Jim Keller (the CPU architect/engineer) to be really really good.
- nomel 4y agoI saw it is as they both had a good intuition about each other, so they were both free to talk without the need for some "translation" barrier, which appear when two people are constantly struggling to translate things in a frame of reference that they think the other requires.
- thebigspacefuck 4y agoOne of my favorites, too. Interestingly enough he is Jordan Peterson’s brother in law.
- deaddodo 4y agoThis is probably his best interview, IMO. Keller was allowed to go very deep into interesting topics and by the end of it you get a solid perception of what CPU development was like in the earlier days (DEC, AMD Athlon) to how it has evolved with modern synthesis tools and large teams. As well as the business overall.
- specialist 4y agoSame. Likewise, the interviews with Roger Penrose, Jack Dorsey, Stephen Kotkin, Lisa Feldman Barrett, and his own father have stayed with me. All for very different reasons. I stopped binging, with great sadness, when it looked like Lex was going the down the intellectual dork web path (Malice, Rogan, Weinstein, Harris, Haidt, Ferguson). Hopefully that was just a phase.
