This serves as a quick cheat-sheet for solving small Bayesian problems using a table.

The “Local Maximum” is a mathematical term referring to a point at which one needs to step down in order to reach new heights. But people - not just points - can get caught in a local maximum. That's what happens when we've gone as far as we can through one strategy which has gone stale and need to search for new ideas. This podcast is about examining technology, engineering, and social trends by expanding perspectives and moving beyond the Local Maximum both for ourselves and our algorithms.
