The Stack Overflow Podcast - Moving up a level of abstraction with serverless on MongoDB Atlas and AWS

The history of computing has been a story of moving up levels of abstraction: from hard-coding algorithms and directly manipulating memory addresses with assembly languages to using more natural language constructs in high-level general purpose languages to abstracting the hardware of the computer in cloud compute. Now serverless functions take that abstraction even further. We’ve made the algorithms that process data simple and natural; MongoDB wants to do the same for how we persist data. 

On this sponsored episode of the podcast, we chat with Andrew Davidson, SVP Products at MongoDB, about how they’re turning a database into a fully-managed service that developers can use in a more natural way. Along the way, we discuss how the cost bottleneck has moved from the storage media to developers’ minds, how greater abstractions can enable developers, and how to get insights from production data faster.

NPR's Book of the Day - Dina Nayeri wants you to question ‘Who Gets Believed’

Author Dina Nayeri was young when she found out that there's a stark difference between credibility and belief – and it's a disconnect at the center of her new book, Who Gets Believed?: When the Truth Isn't Enough. Nayeri's family came to the U.S. as refugees from Iran in 1979. As she tells NPR's Juana Summers, that asylum process showed her how subjective belief can be – and she explains why, for her, the meaning of believing continued to shift, through faith and vulnerability, even as she was writing the book.

Short Wave - If ChatGPT Designed A Rocket — Would It Get To Space?

From text churned out by ChatGPT to the artistic renderings of Midjourney, people have been taking notice of new, bot-produced creative works. But how does this artificial intelligence software fare when there are facts at stake — like designing a rocket capable of safe spaceflight?

In this episode, NPR science correspondent Geoff Brumfiel and Short Wave co-host Emily Kwong drill into what this AI software gets wrong, right — and if it's even trying to detect the difference in the first place.

Hayek Program Podcast - Viviana A. Zelizer — 2022 Markets & Society Conference Keynote

On this episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, we'll hear a keynote from the 2022 Markets & Society conference given by Viviana A. Zelizer, the Lloyd Cotsen ’50 Professor of Sociology at Princeton University. In her lecture, Zelizer discusses the social developments concerning the world of money during the COVID-19 pandemic. She begins by identifying three pandemic-era, money puzzles: the surge in donated money, the resilience of remittance money, and the gender of household money. Zelizer uses her pandemic-inspired insights to make a case for the power of sociological answers to these puzzles, focusing on money’s multiple meanings rather than its multiple material forms.
