 First Principles is the podcast that deconstructs the complex, invisible systems shaping our modern world. Ever wonder how a social media algorithm works, how AI really thinks, or how GPS knows your exact location? Each episode, we break down one concept from its fundamental truths, giving you clarity without the technical jargon. If you're curious about the tech you use every day and want to finally understand it, this is your starting point.First-Principles Podcast 博物学 科学 自然・生態学

    EP39 - The Search-and-Replace of Life: Decoding the CRISPR Revolution
    2025/12/07
    We talk about curing genetic diseases as if it's magic, a futuristic dream of rewriting our own DNA. But this "magic" is real, it's called CRISPR, and it wasn't invented in a high-tech lab—it was discovered in a bacterium. How can you possibly edit a three-billion-letter code inside a living cell? And how did a microbe's immune system give us the most powerful tool in the history of biology?

    We see robots move with a grace and precision that feels almost alive, from a mechanical arm assembling a smartphone to a four-legged machine navigating a rocky trail. We assume a super-intelligent brain is simply telling the body what to do. But how does a purely digital command—a set of ones and zeroes—actually cross the chasm into smooth, physical, real-world motion?

    EP37 - The Digital Chisel: How Light Sculpts Microchips from Sand
    2025/12/01
    We hold a supercomputer in our hands, a seamless piece of glass and metal. But how do we manufacture its brain—a microchip with billions of parts a thousand times thinner than a hair? This episode deconstructs the most precise manufacturing process in human history, revealing how we use stencils, acid, and a mind-bending trick with the physics of light to turn common sand into thinking matter.
