A Week On The Wrist: Apple Watch Series 4 from HODINKEE on Vimeo.

Last week, Apple announced a new generation of Apple Watch and HODINKEE managing editor Stephen Pulvirent was among those fortunate enough to be loaned one for a review. He's spent the last six days wearing the Series 4, putting it through its paces. He's been checking out all those new, supposedly life-changing features that were exuberantly spoken about during Apple's keynote presentation at the perfectly-appointed Steve Jobs Theater. He's been exploring the updated operating system, watchOS 5, to see how the Apple Watch is changing at the platform level. He's been thinking a lot about Apple's long-term vision for the Apple Watch and how it's starting to come into clearer focus. And, finally, he's been thinking about how the Apple Watch Series 4 stands up as a product on its own merits and whether or not I think you should open up your Macbook, launch Safari, and pre-order one right now. Let's get into it.

Astro Black: Destination Planet Rock (excerpt), 2007 from Soda_Jerk on Vimeo.

This episode of Astro Black maps the intergalactic legacy of Sun Ra and George Clinton in the sci-fi futurism of early hip-hop.

Set in 1974 in the South Bronx, Destination Planet Rock begins in a neighborhood centre where Sun Ra is explaining his ideas about the intersection of race, myth and outer space. The three future originators of hip-hop – DJ Kool Herc, Afrika Bambaataa and Grandmaster Flash – are abducted and transported across the galaxy to Planet Rock where they are schooled in the alien language of turntablism. Returning to planet Earth, the abductees unleash the supersonic technique of scratching and the sci-fi electro sound of the track Planet Rock.

Titled in tribute to Sun Ra’s 1972 album, Astro Black is an ongoing multi-channel video cycle informed by cultural theories of Afrofuturism. Taking the cosmic jazz musician Sun Ra as a point of departure, this speculative history seeks to draw out the nexus of science fiction and social politics in Black Atlantic culture.

On Machine Learning in Medicine and More from Andreessen Horowitz on Vimeo.

The bio industry is evolving and tech will play a large part in bio’s next chapter. In fact, biology is looking more and more like programming lately, from "digital therapeutics" to "computational biomedicine" and "cloud bio". But how can this help with, for example, cancer? And how does it affect investing in bio startups (hint: software lets you de-risk at every stage).

This interview of a16z bio fund general partner Vijay Pande (conducted by David Clark of VenCap International) discusses the challenges -- and possibilities -- of software brought to healthcare startups, including the difference between computer science x bio (as opposed to the 'biotech' of yore) and, therefore, why now.

AI, Deep Learning, and Machine Learning: A Primer from Andreessen Horowitz on Vimeo.

"One person, in a literal garage, building a self-driving car." That happened in 2015. Now to put that fact in context, compare this to 2004, when DARPA sponsored the very first driverless car Grand Challenge. Of the 20 entries they received then, the winning entry went 7.2 miles; in 2007, in the Urban Challenge, the winning entries went 60 miles under city-like constraints.

Things are clearly progressing rapidly when it comes to machine intelligence. But how did we get here, after not one but multiple "A.I. winters"? What's the breakthrough? And why is Silicon Valley buzzing about artificial intelligence again?

From types of machine intelligence to a tour of algorithms, a16z Deal and Research team head Frank Chen walks us through the basics (and beyond) of AI and deep learning in this slide presentation.
