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

    EP67 - Silicon Photonics: Putting Speed-of-Light Motors on a Chip
    2026/09/02
    The most advanced AI in the world is not limited by how fast its chips think, but by how slowly they can move data between them over copper wires that waste energy as heat. The answer is to carve the chip from a substance that is crystal-clear to invisible light, and put lasers, lenses, and light-movers right onto the silicon itself. We crack open the waveguide to see how moving data with photons instead of electrons unlocks the future of computing.

    2026/08/30
    Type a question into your phone and the answer seems to come from everywhere at once, one seamless, borderless web. But that vision of a single global internet is quietly ending, as nations build digital walls with firewalls and rerouted traffic. We decode BGP, the postal system of the net, to reveal how a network built to route around damage can be torn into pieces.

    EP65 - Solid-State Batteries: The Brick Wall That Doubles the Range
    2026/08/28
    Your electric car is a miracle of modern engineering, and it is being held back by a thin film of liquid and a flimsy plastic separator that has to keep two armies of lithium apart. The solid-state battery promises to replace that fragile liquid with a brick wall of ceramic, unlocking double the range and nearly zero fire risk. We open the battery and find the quest for the holy grail of energy hiding behind a single, elegant barrier.
