Do you make, break, and tinker with things? Are you a seeker of unconventional wisdom? Do you think in algorithms? Then welcome to FTFY, also known as Fixed That For You—a show about solving problems with data and algorithms. When we say Fixed That For You, we don’t mean it in that sometimes-snarky, message board way. We’re talking about the unconventional ways that really clever people tackle big problems, small problems, mysterious problems, even weird problems. And we learn about the iterative process behind inventive solutions to those problems, devised by engineers, software developers, computer scientists, and everyday people who are doing incredible things with data. From preventing human stampedes, to building an artificial pancreas, to finding the perfect romantic partner, to tracking down criminal wildlife poachers, and much more, there’s probably an algorithm for that. Hosted by science journalist, Cara Santa Maria.

Running the New York City Marathon is a major accomplishment for anyone. Now imagine doing it without being able to see.

In this episode of ‘Fixed That For You,’ we follow Simon Wheatcroft—who has been blind since the age of 17—on his quest to run the New York City Marathon. Find out how Simon used data collection to take a massive step forward for the visually impaired around the world.

In the race of his life, he battles skyscrapers, metal bridges, and massive crowds, pushing a piece of experimental gadgetry to its breaking point. Find out what happened and whether it can be a massive step forward for visually impaired people around the world.

‘Fixed That For You’ is an original podcast from Segment. For more on the series go to fixedthatforyou.com.

Follow and learn more about Simon’s adventures to see what he’ll tackle next.

Learn more about how WearWorks helps the blind and visually impaired navigate into the world. Kevin Yoo is one of the co-founders of WearWorks as well as an industrial designer. Check out some of his other designs here.

What does it actually mean to be rational? The kind of rationality where you make good decisions, even when it’s hard; where you reason well, even in the face of massive uncertainty; where you recognize and make full use of your fuzzy intuitions and emotions, rather than trying to discard them. In Rationality: From AI to Zombies, Eliezer Yudkowsky explains the science underlying human irrationality with a mix of fables, argumentative essays, and personal vignettes. These eye-opening accounts of how the mind works (and how, all too often, it doesn’t) are then put to the test through some genuinely difficult puzzles: questions in computer science about the future of artificial intelligence (AI), questions in physics about the relationship between the quantum and classical worlds, questions in philosophy about the metaphysics of zombies and the nature of morality, and many more.

What’s with the ice cream truck in the logo? In the 80’s, Richard E. Clark at University of Southern California set off a pretty epic debate based on his statement that “media are mere vehicles that deliver instruction but do not influence student achievement any more than the truck that delivers our groceries causes changes in nutrition.” * So, the ice cream truck, it’s a nod to Richard Clark, who frequently rings in my ear when I’m tempted to take things at face value. “Is it the method, or the medium?” I wonder.

The title, No Such Thing, has a few meanings. Mostly, it emphasizes the importance of hard questions as we develop and document the narrative of “education” in the US. For Richard E. Clark, the question is whether there’s such a thing as learning from new technologies. For others, it might be whether there’s a panacea for the challenges we face in this field. Whatever your question, I hope that it reminds you to keep asking–yourself, your learners, others–what’s working and how so.
