Task-centric DAGs can run perfectly and still produce a model nobody can explain or reproduce. The fix isn't a new tool — it's rethinking what your pipeline-as-code is actually supposed to track.\nEvery ML platform team eventually has the orchestrator debate. Airflow or Dagster. Managed or self-hosted. Cron-based or event-driven. It feels like an important decision, and vendors are happy to keep it feeling that way. But the debate is mostly noise. The question that actually determines whether your ML pipelines are trustworthy has nothing to do with which scheduler runs your tasks. It's whether your orchestration layer treats data and models as first-class, versioned assets — or just as side effects of tasks that happened to run.\nMost teams get this wrong quietly, for years, without noticing. The pipelines run green. The dashboards show success. And nobody can answer the one question that matters when a model misbehaves in production: what data, exactly, trained this thing?\nClassic orchestration — the Airflow model, and honestly most hand-rolled schedulers before it — is built around tasks: discrete units of work with dependencies, retries, and a schedule. A task runs, it succeeds or fails, and the DAG moves on. This model was designed for ETL, where the thing you care about is \"did the job complete and did the table get populated.\" That's a reasonable unit of correctness for a nightly aggregation job.\nIt is the wrong unit of correctness for ML. In an ML pipeline, the thing you actually care about is not \"did the feature engineering task finish.\" It's \"what specific version of the raw data produced this specific version of the feature table, and which version of that feature table trained which version of the model that's currently serving traffic.\" That's a ","thumbnail":"","duration":"","audioUrl":""},{"source":{"name":"Channel News Asia","type":"print","category":"news"},"title":"Iran airlines cancel flights as US sanctions hit","link":"https://www.channelnewsasia.com/world/iran-us-sanctions-airlines-cancel-flights-6405501","pubDate":"Wed, 23 Sep 2026 21:15:45 +0800","timestamp":1790169345000,"content":"A travel agent in Tehran told AFP that flights to Baghdad, Muscat, Qatar, Georgia and Azerbaijan had all been suspended, but routes to multiple other destinations remained available, including China.","thumbnail":"","duration":"","audioUrl":""},{"source":{"name":"Punch Nigeria","type":"print","category":"news"},"title":"Bauchi begins payment of gratuity backlog, releases N10bn","link":"https://punchng.com/bauchi-begins-payment-of-gratuity-backlog-releases-n10bn/?utm_source=rss.punchng.com&utm_medium=web","pubDate":"Wed, 23 Sep 2026 14:11:48 +0000","timestamp":1790169326550,"content":"The Bauchi State government has released N10bn to commence the payment of outstanding gratuity owed to retired civil servants from 2012 to 2016.\n\nRead More: https://punchng.com/bauchi-begins-payment-of-gratuity-backlog-releases-n10bn/","thumbnail":"https://cdn.punchng.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/18131509/punch-logo-500x179-1.png","duration":"","audioUrl":""},{"source":{"name":"The Hindu","type":"print","category":"news"},"title":"LVPI will help strengthen healthcare ecosystem in Amaravati, says Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu","link":"https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/andhra-pradesh/lvpi-will-help-strengthen-healthcare-ecosystem-in-amaravati-says-chief-minister-chandrababu-naidu/article71499937.ece","pubDate":"Wed, 23 Sep 2026 18:45:03 +0530","timestamp":1790169303000,"content":"Coming up in 12 acres and with a potential of treating three lakh people annually, the L.V.

It does not. Feed the same PDF to pdfium and to pypdf, and you get characters that only one of them returns, and characters that one of them silently replaces with a different sentence.\nWorse, neither output necessarily matches what a human sees on screen. The page says Hello world; the extracted text says something else. The page shows nothing; the extracted text has an extra line. All of it is within the PDF specification, and neither library is wrong.\nMost pipelines that hand PDFs to an LLM take the output of one extraction library and treat it as \"the text of the document\". This article shows four cases where that assumption breaks, each with a minimal PDF you can build yourself and the actual output of both libraries. The second half is about how I turned the mismatch into a detection signal for hidden text.\nTL;DR\nText with 0 Tz (zero horizontal scaling) does not exist as far as pdfium's text extraction is concerned. pypdf reads it.\n/ActualText makes pdfium return the replacement string instead of what is drawn. pypdf returns the drawn glyphs.\nA rewritten /ToUnicode table makes \"A\" on screen come out as \"B\" in the text. Mappings to invisible Unicode tag characters pass through both libraries untouched.\nText inside a Form XObject that is never invoked with Do is read by neither. pypdf's extract_xform_text gets it.\nSo don't trust a single extractor in front of an LLM. Run two, normalize, and treat the difference as the signal.\nMy previous post (I built a tool that finds \"invisible text\" hidden in PDFs) was about text that is extracted but cannot be seen, found by rendering the page with and without its text. This one is about a step earlier: the extracted text itself being different. You do not need to have read the first one.\nCode in this article was run with Python 3.12 / pypdfium2 5.12.1 (pdfium build 7947) / pypdf 6.15.0.

Less time goes into typing code, and more goes into planning, reading, reviewing, and testing it. But writing less code doesn't mean you can afford to understand less of it.\nPrefer to watch? Here’s the video version on YouTube.\nI think reading code is becoming one of the most important development skills. When an agent hands you a feature spread across several files, the real question isn't whether it looks convincing. It's whether you understand what it does, what data it touches, and why those changes belong in your project.\nFunctions, loops, conditionals, and data types are still essential. Without those fundamentals, you're going to struggle to follow what an AI tool generates, much less judge whether it's right. What's becoming less useful is trying to memorize every method in a language or every option in a framework. Most developers were looking that stuff up anyway.\nThe useful shift is from remembering syntax to understanding behavior. You need to recognize what a function expects, trace what happens after a user clicks a button, and notice when a seemingly small change reaches into unrelated parts of the application. Those abilities help you direct an agent instead of just accepting its output.\nThat doesn't mean you need to master software architecture before touching AI. These are concepts to keep learning while you build. Each one gives you another way to inspect generated code, ask better questions, and catch problems before they turn into a debugging marathon.\nThe concepts connect to one another, but they answer different questions. The first three explain how a program moves through work. The next three explain what its pieces can access and change. Abstraction, modularity, and architecture describe its organization, while the final three make you look beyond a single, successful execution.\nControl flow is the order in which your code executes. What happens first","thumbnail":"","duration":"","audioUrl":""},{"source":{"name":"EuroNews","type":"print","category":"news"},"title":"Project Sunrise update: Qantas to launch non-stop flights between Sydney and New York from 2028","link":"https://www.euronews.com/2026/09/23/project-sunrise-update-qantas-to-launch-non-stop-flights-between-sydney-and-new-york-from-","pubDate":"Wed, 23 Sep 2026 15:08:03 +0200","timestamp":1790168883000,"content":"Passengers will spend 18 hours in the air on the specially configured Airbus A350-1000ULR aircraft.","thumbnail":"","duration":"","audioUrl":""},{"source":{"name":"The Independent","type":"print","category":"news"},"title":"Lionel Richie is taking a break from performing following a heart procedure","link":"https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/lionel-richie-new-york-americans-earth-grammy-award-b3055041.html","pubDate":"Wed, 23 Sep 2026 13:07:57 GMT","timestamp":1790168877000,"content":"Lionel Richie is taking a break from touring as he recovers from a heart procedure","thumbnail":"","duration":"","audioUrl":""},{"source":{"name":"Vogue","type":"print","category":"fashion"},"title":"All the Star Athletes Who Walked Vogue World 2026: Milano","link":"https://www.vogue.com/slideshow/athletes-who-walked-vogue-world-2026-milano","pubDate":"Wed, 23 Sep 2026 13:07:43 +0000","timestamp":1790168863000,"content":"From modern tennis legends like Aryna Sabalenka to Italian Olympians like Arianna Fontana, the Vogue World runway was replete with sports stars.","thumbnail":"","duration":"","audioUrl":""},{"source":{"name":"Dev.to","type":"print","category":"tech"},"title":"Editing a plan without re-prompting the model","link":"https://dev.to/ordewell/editing-a-plan-without-re-prompting-the-model-3c3g","pubDate":"Wed, 23 Sep 2026 13:07:24 +0000","timestamp":1790168844000,"content":"You read the plan, and task 5 is wrong. It should have waited for task 3. One of the steps is really two steps. A step you meant to do by hand got written up as something for an agent to run.\nNone of that is a change of intent. It is a change of data, and yet in most setups the only way to make it is to say so in a message and hope the whole plan comes back the way you wanted.\nDisclosure first: I build Ordewell, and direct plan editing is a thing it does. The tool is free and Apache-2.0. The interesting part is not the subcommands. It is which edits a model should never be trusted with, and what a plan has to look like for that line to be drawable at all.\nWhen the plan is a conversation artifact, the conversation is the data structure. Changing one dependency means sending another message, and the model re-emits the plan in prose. Two problems follow.\nThe first is that you cannot diff it. The old plan and the new plan are two blocks of generated text, and reading them side by side is the review. If the model also reworded task 2 or renumbered everything, that arrives inside the same reply as the change you asked for.\nThe second is that the edit is deterministic and the model is not. \"Task 5 waits for task 3\" has exactly one correct outcome, and routing it through a language model turns a field assignment into a generation.\nFour properties do most of the work.\nTask ids are stable. A task keeps its identity across edits, so \"task 5\" means the same task before and after your change. References also accept #order or a bare order number.\nDependencies are data, not prose. The edge between two tasks is an id in a list. It can be read, checked and refused without a model anywhere near it.\nSome fields are system owned. Status, verdict and id are not whatever the last reply said they were. The model may edit a task's title, description, prompt, dependencies, runner, model, mode, effort and type. The rest belongs to the thing that runs the plan.\nEdits are atomic and validated ","thumbnail":"","duration":"","audioUrl":""},{"source":{"name":"Dev.to","type":"print","category":"tech"},"title":"Building a .pypkg Package Runner for Windows with Python 3.14 / 3.8 Auto-Selection","link":"https://dev.to/fjfycfgdy/building-a-pypkg-package-runner-for-windows-with-python-314-38-auto-selection-49l1","pubDate":"Wed, 23 Sep 2026 13:07:18 +0000","timestamp":1790168838000,"content":"Hey devs! 👋\nI recently built Python EnterPlase — a small PyQt5 desktop application \n.pypkg package files.

GitHub Actions, a cornerstone of many modern DevOps workflows, promises seamless automation and invaluable insights into our codebase's health. However, a recent and extensive community discussion has unveiled a critical vulnerability: inconsistent workflow statuses, missing logs, and outright failures in job log retrieval. This isn't just a minor glitch; it's a fundamental challenge to effective software project monitoring and can severely impede a team's ability to meet its developer performance goals.\nThe core of the problem, meticulously documented by community member the-par3a, isn't simply that some workflows fail. It's the alarming disconnect between a workflow's reported status and the diagnostic information available for that run. Imagine a scenario where:\nA workflow proudly displays a green 'Success' checkmark, yet its job logs are empty or contain little to no useful information.\nA workflow reports 'Error/Failure', but the available logs offer no meaningful explanation, sometimes showing only: Error:\n\nPreviously accessible and crucial debugging logs mysteriously become unavailable over time, even before their normal expiration.\nThis opaque behavior leaves development teams in the dark, struggling to identify the root cause of issues, understand workflow inconsistencies, or even confirm if a 'successful' run truly achieved its objective.

The proposal, as described by the Commission, focuses on efficiency alongside clean energy, grid flexibility and waste-heat reuse. It matters because data centres underpin the computing capacity used for cloud services and artificial intelligence, while their energy needs are becoming a more visible infrastructure issue.\nThe available information does not set out the scheme's final methodology, scope, timing or legal obligations. Still, the direction is clear: the Commission is seeking a more comparable way to assess data-centre energy performance and related energy practices. For businesses that buy cloud services rather than operate facilities, the immediate impact is likely to be indirect. The practical value will depend on whether providers eventually expose relevant rating information and how the proposal develops.\nThe Commission links the proposal to four connected areas:\nData-centre efficiency, which concerns how effectively a facility uses energy to support computing operations.\nClean energy, indicating an emphasis on the energy sources supporting data-centre operations.\nGrid flexibility, which can help electricity systems respond to changing supply and demand.\nWaste-heat reuse, which concerns using heat produced by computing equipment rather than allowing it to go unused.\nThese elements matter together. More computing demand does not only affect servers. It also affects the electricity infrastructure that supports those servers and, where relevant, the potential use of the heat they generate. A common rating scheme could give policymakers, operators and customers a clearer shared reference point than separate or inconsistently presented efficiency claims.\nThe proposal should not yet be treated as a new cloud-price rule or as proof that a specific provider will change its services.

Yet, even industry-leading platforms can present unexpected friction points. A recent discussion on GitHub’s community forum, Discussion #207025, highlighted a particularly frustrating scenario for a long-time faculty member whose access to GitHub Education benefits was revoked, only to be met with a disabled application button and an unyielding support maze. This incident offers critical insights for dev teams, product managers, and technical leaders on the importance of robust tooling, clear support pathways, and user-centric design.\nThe original post by joelwross painted a clear picture of a critical system failure. After a decade of leveraging GitHub Education’s invaluable resources, a re-verification attempt for faculty status was denied, presumably due to a poor photo. The immediate consequence was severe: all associated benefits were revoked. However, the true problem emerged when joelwross attempted to reapply. The “Start an application” button was disabled, effectively creating a dead end.\nAttempts to engage GitHub’s support system only compounded the frustration. The CoPilot chatbot, after initial interaction, directed the user to submit a ticket. Yet, the support system itself refused submissions under the “verification” category, and any other chosen category resulted in automated responses and immediate ticket closures. This left joelwross in a classic catch-22: unable to use the primary re-application mechanism and unable to get human assistance through official support channels.

No warm-up, no vector database to reach across the network before you can answer the first question.\nThe wrangler.jsonc is short, and what is missing from it is the point:\n{\n  \"name\": \"recourse-worker\",\n  \"main\": \"src/index.ts\",\n  \"compatibility_date\": \"2026-08-01\",\n  \"observability\": { \"enabled\": true }\n}\n\nNo nodejs_compat.

In natural human conversation, a listener starts their reply roughly 200ms after the speaker's turn ends. Current dialogue agents take 700 to 1000ms to do the same thing.\nThree to five times slower. If human dialogue is a tennis rally, current voice AI is playing chess by post.\nClosing that gap is not one problem, it's two. And they pull in opposite directions.\nToo slow to reply: awkward silence, dropped rapport, users start repeating themselves.\nToo fast to reply: the agent talks over the user, interrupts mid-word, kills trust.\nBoth fail modes come from the same root cause: silence is not the same as end-of-turn.\nMost current systems still decide the user is done talking with a Voice Activity Detector. VAD is cheap and fast, and it answers exactly one question: is there voice in this audio frame, yes or no.\nThat question is not the one the agent actually needs answered.\nThe 0.3–0.5s pause a speaker takes mid-sentence looks identical to end-of-turn.\nThe silence after \"uh\" or \"let me think\" looks identical to end-of-turn.\nA cough or a sigh looks like voice.\nYou can tune the silence threshold, but you cannot tune your way out of the fact that VAD does not know what a sentence is. VoiceInfra's production data lands on 300–500ms of trailing silence as the least-bad setting: shorter and the agent chops off natural pauses, longer and the delay becomes obvious. The comfortable range depends on the use case. Call-center flows tolerate 400–500ms because callers pause to think; command interfaces want 200–3","thumbnail":"","duration":"","audioUrl":""},{"source":{"name":"The Hill","type":"print","category":"politics"},"title":"Trump’s approval plunges into the 20s, and Republicans give up ","link":"https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/6104722-trump-approval-low-gop/","pubDate":"\n\t\tWed, 23 Sep 2026 13:00:00 +0000\t\t","timestamp":1790168400000,"content":"With the midterms approaching,  it’s clear the MAGA base is now deserting President Trump — and the GOP — in record numbers.","thumbnail":"https://thehill.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/09/GettyImages-2286592275.jpg?w=900","duration":"","audioUrl":""},{"source":{"name":"TechCrunch","type":"print","category":"tech"},"title":"PitPro’s first tire-changing robot goes live in Canada","link":"https://techcrunch.com/2026/09/23/pitpros-first-tire-changing-robot-goes-live-in-canada/","pubDate":"Wed, 23 Sep 2026 13:00:00 +0000","timestamp":1790168400000,"content":"The startup says its automated system can change four tires in under 15 minutes.","thumbnail":"","duration":"","audioUrl":""},{"source":{"name":"TechCrunch","type":"print","category":"tech"},"title":"LinkedIn adds new tools to fight fake profiles and bogus work histories","link":"https://techcrunch.com/2026/09/23/linkedin-adds-new-tools-to-fight-fake-profiles-and-bogus-work-histories/","pubDate":"Wed, 23 Sep 2026 13:00:00 +0000","timestamp":1790168400000,"content":"LinkedIn is rolling out new verification tools that let members vouch for colleagues’ work experience and give companies more control over accounts that falsely claim to employ them.","thumbnail":"","duration":"","audioUrl":""},{"source":{"name":"Live Science","type":"print","category":"science"},"title":" 3,000-year-old burial of ancient Egyptian horse found — and a nearby stone carving depicts a captured prisoner ","link":"https://www.livescience.com/archaeology/ancient-egyptians/3-000-year-old-burial-of-ancient-egyptian-horse-found-and-a-nearby-stone-carving-depicts-a-captured-prisoner","pubDate":"Wed, 23 Sep 2026 13:00:00 +0000","timestamp":1790168400000,"content":"Archaeologists unearthed a horse burial dating back more than three millennia in an ancient Egyptian fortress.","thumbnail":"https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/fpvdyq9dHe6RjdvkFnqJFY-1920-80.jpg","duration":"","audioUrl":""},{"source":{"name":"TechCrunch AI","type":"print","category":"tech"},"title":"Spotify’s is giving you the keys to its recommendation algorithm with US launch of ‘Taste Profile’","link":"https://techcrunch.com/2026/09/23/spotify-is-giving-you-the-keys-to-its-recommendation-algorithm-with-u-s-launch-of-taste-profile/","pubDate":"Wed, 23 Sep 2026 13:00:00 +0000","timestamp":1790168400000,"content":"Spotify is rolling out Taste Profile to Premium users in the U.S., letting listeners see how the streamer understands their tastes and use natural language to reshape their recommendations","thumbnail":"","duration":"","audioUrl":""},{"source":{"name":"The New Stack","type":"print","category":"tech"},"title":"AI spending can run negative.

This one already dropped and disentangled, waiting at the border of a small garden.\n \n I remembered then: Writing can be small and wrapped, layered and touching, tight and nearly eternal in depth. Hold it between two fingers, hide it within a cove of denim beside your house key. No one carries loose change anymore. By chance or memory, retrieve it before laundry day, and roll it in your palms or set it on your desk, let it stand alone as living amidst a sea of Paper Mate markers and fineliner pens. See it as you write or grade papers, as you read comments from one guy who shapeshifts from workshop to workshop, changes his name and interests, but his ways are the same. You know the one.\n But what can he possibly say about the pine cone?\n “Haven’t we seen this before?”\n “So what?”\n “Pretty language, but what’s at stake?”\n Kindly tell the gentleman from Dartmouth or the Carolinas, or wherever they make men with loud thoughts, he’s missing the point. And what’s at stake is always life, or beauty, you’re not sure yet.\n I had a plan, you know, for this column. A funny-ish opening, a long and rambling middle, a punchy end, to make you remember my words. The pine cone destroyed it. Blame nature while you can. The midterms are coming, and nine more years until AI bots destroy us.\n I had this unwieldy plan-like plan, a foam sword of an outline, because I thought I needed it.

Exciting as it might be to witness the Fab Four, or Maria Calla on stage, I’d rather have flesh and blood live experiences any day.\nIt seems that AI’s powers – terrifyingly – know no bounds. But can it raise the dead? Here’s what Avatar concert producer Unit1 Studio’s CEO Barney Wragg said in a recent interview. “We [are] talk[ing] about using AI to simulate the way that tears evaporate in your eye between blinks, or subcutaneous blood flow, so that when one of our [digital] characters laughs or opens their mouth or smiles, areas of their flesh will change colour as it would do in a real human”. Digital avatars are already part of our entertainment landscape – from Tupac and Abba to Maria Callas – but now that an avatar’s cheeks can change colour mid-set, is it game over for humans?\nWragg last week reported a massive investment in his company to make hyper-realistic avatar-entertainment. Unit1 plans to roll out avatars of musicians living – and dead – so that the success of Abba Voyage is just the start of a slew of “hybrid” concerts. In other words, flesh-and-blood audiences paying massive amounts of human money to witness a very expensive LED screen showing phantom musicians in the 21st century’s equivalent of the magic lantern.

On Tuesday night, Angine de Poitrine became the latest winners of Canada's prestigious Polaris Music Prize.\nThe post Angine de Poitrine Win 2026 Polaris Music Prize appeared first on Stereogum.","thumbnail":"","duration":"","audioUrl":""},{"source":{"name":"Dev.to","type":"print","category":"tech"},"title":"What is Infrastructure as Code and Why It's Transforming DevOps","link":"https://dev.to/greatkalaso/what-is-infrastructure-as-code-and-why-its-transforming-devops-1k2b","pubDate":"Wed, 23 Sep 2026 12:53:03 +0000","timestamp":1790167983000,"content":"As I continue my journey into cloud computing and DevOps, one concept that has caught my attention is Infrastructure as Code (IaC).\nBut what exactly is IaC, and why is it becoming an essential part of modern DevOps?\n🔹 What is Infrastructure as Code (IaC)?\nInfrastructure as Code is the practice of managing and provisioning infrastructure—such as servers, networks, databases, and cloud resources, using code instead of configuring everything manually.\nTraditionally, infrastructure setup involves repetitive manual tasks, which can lead to human errors, inconsistent environments, and difficulties when scaling.\nIaC solves these problems by allowing us to define infrastructure in code, making it repeatable, consistent, automated, and easier to manage.\n🔹 Declarative vs. Imperative Approaches\nThere are two common approaches to Infrastructure as Code:\n✅ Declarative Approach: You define what you want your infrastructure to look like, and the tool determines how to achieve that desired state.\nExample: Terraform.\n✅ Imperative Approach: You define how the infrastructure should be created by specifying the sequence of commands or steps to execute.\nExample: A script that creates a virtual machine, configures networking, and installs required software step by step.\nThe declarative approach focuses on the desired outcome, while the imperative approach focuses on the instructions needed to achieve it.\n🔹 Why Terraform Is Worth Learning\nTerraform is an open-source Infrastructure as Code tool that allows you to provision and manage infrastructure across different cloud providers and services.\nHere are a few reasons I'm interested in learning Terraform:\n🔸 Automates infrastructure deployment.\n🔸 Supports multiple cloud providers.\n🔸 Enables infrastructure version control.\n🔸 Helps maintain consistency across environments.\n🔸 Encourages collaboration between development and operations teams.\nTerraform is a valuable skill for anyone looking to grow in cloud engineering, DevOps, or cloud ","thumbnail":"","duration":"","audioUrl":""},{"source":{"name":"The Hindu","type":"print","category":"news"},"title":"Palaniswami slams TVK-led regime for not taking steps to curb spread of dengue","link":"https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tamil-nadu/palaniswami-slams-tvk-led-regime-for-not-taking-steps-to-curb-spread-of-dengue/article71499869.ece","pubDate":"Wed, 23 Sep 2026 18:22:59 +0530","timestamp":1790167979000,"content":"The government, which had shown “alacrity” in attributing the death of a student of the Anna University to scrub typhus, had not displayed similar swiftness in preventing the spread of dengue, says AIADMK leader","thumbnail":"","duration":"","audioUrl":""},{"source":{"name":"The Hindu","type":"print","category":"news"},"title":"Wipro Consumer Care Acquires Dermatouch","link":"https://www.thehindu.com/brandhub/pr-release/wipro-consumer-care-acquires-dermatouch/article71499867.ece","pubDate":"Wed, 23 Sep 2026 18:22:44 +0530","timestamp":1790167964000,"content":"Wipro Consumer Care’s 18th acquisition, Dermatouch, marks its entry into India’s premium skincare segment and strengthens its global beauty and personal care portfolio","thumbnail":"","duration":"","audioUrl":""},{"source":{"name":"BBC Uzbek","type":"print","category":"news"},"title":"Саида Мирзиёева Google билан YouTube монетизациясини муҳокама қилди: Ўзбекистонликлар қанча пул ишлаши мумкин?","link":"https://www.bbc.com/uzbek/articles/cxj06ggpy4g4o/cyr?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=rss","pubDate":"Wed, 23 Sep 2026 12:52:27 GMT","timestamp":1790167947000,"content":"Президент Администрацияси раҳбари Саида Мирзиёева Google билан Ўзбекистонда YouTube монетизациясини йўлга қўйиш имкониятини муҳокама қилди.

The recommended daily fiber intake is 25 grams a day for women and 38 grams a day for men. From 2013 to 2018, only 4% of U.S. adults met their recommended adequate intake for dietary fiber. The average fiber intake was about 16 grams a day.\nAdding fiber to your diet through eating more fiber-rich foods or by taking fiber supplements has become a viral health trend. At the same time, the 2025 update to the American dietary guidelines appears to downplay fiber’s role in a healthy diet, placing high-fiber whole grains at the bottom as the smallest part of the inverted food pyramid. This can be confusing, because the written guidelines themselves continue to highlight the importance of eating whole grains.\nWhat does the science say about the health benefits of a high-fiber diet? And what steps can you take to incorporate more fiber into your diet? These and similar questions my patients have asked me as a physician-scientist prompted me to look further into the latest research on dietary fiber.\nBasics of dietary fiber\nDietary fiber can be found in many sources, and the choices can be overwhelming.\nDietary fiber refers to carbohydrates your body can’t digest. Many whole foods are high in fiber. High-fiber foods include raspberries, avocados, oats and other whole grains, and lentils and other legumes.\nFiber also comes in supplements such as psyllium husk powder, known as the brand Metamucil, which comes from a plant called Plantago ovata.

Peter Kindersley via Centre for Ageing Better, CC BY\n“Families are messy, aren’t they?” a daughter commented during a series of focus groups I ran with caregivers of older adults with memory issues. \nMany people would agree with that sentiment. The complexity can be compounded when caring for someone who has a disease such as Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia that impairs their memory, language and sometimes personality. \nYet discussing how caring for their loved one affects family dynamics – be it longstanding family feuds, unmet expectations about family responsibilities or the desire to keep health issues private – is often seen as taboo. \nI am a sociologist and demographer studying how family dynamics change as people get older and need care – and how that relates to expectations about caregiving for older adults.\nThe makeup of families is changing, and that’s shaking up how caregiving can reverberate through family relationships. Caring for family members or friends with dementia can be especially thorny because of the ways the condition changes how a person behaves and how they interact with others. But a little planning and support can help families through the challenges. \nCaregiving is a common experience\nAmericans are living much longer, which means that people are sharing more years of their lives with their family members. For instance, children are more likely to have a living grandparent today than in previous generations. \nAnd that means it’s more likely that people will have a parent or grandparent who may experience cognitive decline at some point in their lives.\nMore than 5 million U.S. adults age 65 and older are currently living with dementia – an umbrella term describing a loss of cognitive abilities around thinking, remembering and reasoning.

David McNew/Getty Images\nLook around you, and you’ll see rare earth elements at work. A phone vibrates because a magnet moves a weight. Its screen was polished with cerium powder. Its connection to the rest of the world crosses oceans on cables amplified with erbium. If you drove today, a rare earth magnet helped you steer, and a cerium compound scrubbed the exhaust.\nAll of these devices function because of 17 metals collectively known as rare earth elements. The scientists who gave the group that name in 1794 created a misnomer. Cerium alone is about as common in the Earth’s crust as copper.\nHowever, separating rare earth minerals from one another and from raw ore is intensely difficult. As a result, countries that control the processing of rare earth minerals have a lot of political leverage.\nChina processes most of the rare earth minerals used around the world, and it isn’t just consumer electronics that depend on Chinese exports. The U.S. military’s F-35 fighter jets and Virginia-class submarines need rare earths too. \nI spent years adjudicating war games for the U.S. Navy. War games force players to identify the hidden constraints that render a beautiful plan untenable. Rare earth processing is exactly such a constraint.\nChina showcased the power of its rare earths leverage with a series of export controls issued in 2025 that it agreed to suspend – at least until Nov. 10, 2026. Controlling the supply enables a government to slow a rival’s growth, or halt it. China’s ability to extend the suspension of its export controls or let them go into effect gives it leverage on the geopolitical stage. In the parlance of Theodore Roosevelt, it’s a very big stick.\nHow China took the lead\nCalifornia’s Mountain Pass mine led world production of rare earths until the late 1980s.

NASA\nArtificial intelligence has revolutionized weather forecasting in just a few years, with global AI weather models now able to produce forecasts that rival some of the world’s best physics-based prediction systems. \nThis remarkable progress has been driven by three factors: massive amounts of weather data, advances in AI models and unprecedented computational power. While most of the current discussion on improving AI for weather focuses on the models or new hardware, the data is crucial. \nAt the global scale, AI has benefited from decades of climate and weather records covering the entire Earth. These datasets contain millions of examples of how atmospheric conditions evolve with time, allowing AI models to learn patterns in a way that would have been impossible a decade ago.\nBut when you zoom in from the global scale to the regional scale, forecasts start to be much more challenging for AI.\nThat difference matters for forecasting hurricane intensity. \nThe world has seen many hurricanes rapidly intensify in recent years, strengthening from relatively weak storms into destructive monsters in a matter of hours. Hurricane Polo did it off Mexico’s Pacific coast as it rapidly strengthened from a tropical storm on Sept. 21, 2026, to a powerful Category 5 hurricane in 24 hours. Polo quickly became one of the strongest Pacific storms in decades, with winds reaching 180 mph.\nWhen rapid intensification surprises forecasters – as Hurricane Michael did in 2018 when it grew into a destructive Category 5 hurricane right before hitting Tyndall Air Force Base and Mexico Beach, Florida, in 2018 – communities can be left with too little time to evacuate and prepare.\nWhy AI struggles with detail\nUnlike global weather forecasts, hurricane intensity forecasts are often considered a regional forecasting problem.

David Wall/Moment via Getty Images\nEven if you have never read it, you know the story of Mary Shelley’s second great work of political science fiction after “Frankenstein.” “The Last Man,” published in 1826 but set in the late 21st century, tells the tale of a lethal contagion spread by human conflict and war that sweeps the world and seemingly leaves one sole human survivor.\nWith wars and climate catastrophes hitting a world still reeling from 7 million deaths caused by COVID-19, Shelley’s pandemic novel has perhaps never felt so relevant. \nAnd the book’s influence is widespread. The tropes and themes of “The Last Man” have shaped the genre of postapocalyptic fiction in the two centuries since its release. In Shelley’s “Frankenstein” and the many stories, films and TV shows it has inspired, the abandoned monster becomes a plague upon his creator. \n\n            \n              A portrait of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley.\n              Richard Rothwell from the National Portrait Gallery, London, via Wikimedia Commons\n            \n          \n\nIn “The Last Man” and the countless books and movies on its themes that followed, a human-made epidemic becomes the mega-monster that threatens the extinction of humanity itself. \nSome of the recent television series that explore these themes are “The Last of Us,” “Midnight Mass” and “Station Eleven.” They follow classic films such as “I Am Legend,” “28 Days Later” and “The Last Man on Earth.”\nRegardless of how many zombie-invasion or vampire-apocalypse movies you have seen, if you haven’t read “The Last Man,” I recommend you do. And if you have, perhaps read it again.\nI have edited a new edition of “The Last Man” that also includes the text of Shelley’s private “Journal of Sorrow,” her diary of personal loss and grief that inspired the novel.

Kristy Burgess, CC BY-NC-ND\nWhen Marineland Canada in Niagara Falls, Ontario, closed in September 2024, it had no regular income to support the care of the 30 belugas and four dolphins housed there. To ensure their welfare, the Association of Zoos and Aquariums led an international effort to relocate the animals to the United States and Spain. \nAfter the move, however, one resident beluga and three transplanted belugas died at a U.S. facility, while one beluga died at a Spanish facility.

But this model isn’t just defined by its environment. It’s also defined by a philosophy emphasizing no breeding, reduced human interaction and nonprofit funding.\nCurrently there are no active cetacean sanctuaries anywhere in the world operating with animals under these standards.\nIn specific circumstances, sanctuaries could provide a home for animals vulnerable in the wild, while preserving some of their autonomy. But for an animal who has never seen the ocean, a sanctuary isn’t automatically a good fit. What is natural for wild cetaceans isn’t necessarily natural for managed cetaceans.\nAs a cetacean biologist, I have over 20 years of experience working with animals in the wild as well as in professional care. \nMy work has focused on understanding the welfare of these animals as individuals, and I’ve seen how wild and managed animals can differ.

This year, a new question kept coming up: “If I’m voting by mail, can I trust my ballot will actually show up?” \nFor college students, such considerations have urgency. Many are voting in their first major election, often while living away from home. They may be deciding whether to register where they attend college or request an absentee ballot from home. This year, many are weighing whether they trust the process that will bring their vote from the mailbox to the ballot box to be counted. \nThis uncertainty comes after a monthslong legal fight over the U.S. Postal Service’s role in mail voting, sparked by President Donald Trump’s attempts to dramatically limit mail voting. On Sept. 14, 2026, the Supreme Court barred new Postal Service restrictions on election mail from taking effect. \nThe court’s decision resolved the immediate question of whether the restrictions would stand. But it did not settle the larger question that now hangs over this election: Can voters trust the machinery of elections in the first place? \nI’m a political scientist, and I study elections and voting. For more than a decade, I’ve helped lead nonpartisan student voter engagement efforts at the University of Maine and helped recruit and train student poll workers.

The margin of that anticipated victory is harder to predict. \nAnd the size of a party’s majority makes a difference. To see why, it’s worth looking back to the second half of the 19th century, when two dramatic midterm election results marked the beginning of important eras in the nation’s history. \n1874: A nation changing course\nMost American college students, including the ones I taught for over 40 years, learn that the era of Reconstruction following the Civil War came to an end when the contested presidential election of 1876 led to a deal that combined support for a Republican president with a commitment to withdraw federal troops from Southern states.   \nThe Republican candidate in 1876, Rutherford B. Hayes, did not win the popular vote, but after an Electoral Commission established by Congress resolved disputed electoral college issues, Hayes won a one-vote victory.

Toub recently wrote about leading the migration of GitHub Copilot's agent runtime from TypeScript to more than 800,000 lines of production Rust, with AI agents writing most of the code. But the timing made me laugh. One of the engineers most closely associated with modern .NET is moving a major Microsoft-owned runtime to Rust. Meanwhile, I'm over here building an independent .NET compiler, CoreLib, and runtime for WASI.\nC# syntax has always felt like driving a luxury car to me. I love writing in it. But for years I also wanted something I could get from C++: a native binary without having to ship the conventional .NET runtime alongside it.\nIn 2008, fourteen years before Native AOT shipped with .NET 7, I made my first attempt at this idea and wrote my own generational concurrent garbage collector and coupled it with Borland's C++ compiler. In a later project, I built a managed programming model on top of C++ using template metaprogramming, ran Boehm GC in precise mode, and used GCC plugins to generate the GC maps. I was already chasing the same combination: the productivity and memory model I liked from C#, with native output and control over the runtime.\nThe term AOT is overloaded here. In 2008, Microsoft's .NET Framework couldn't publish this kind of standalone native executable. NGen existed, but it installed precompiled machine code into the computer's native image cache for the CLR to load. Mono had an AOT mode too, but its output still ran with the Mono runtime. Neither gave me the deployment model I wanted: one native executable containing the runtime support it needed, with no CLR or virtual machine to install on the target system. That is what .NET developers now call Native AOT. I didn't have that name for it at the time. I just wanted the binary.\nToday my answer is NetWasm (GitHub Repo): an independent CIL-to-WebAssembly compile","thumbnail":"","duration":"","audioUrl":""},{"source":{"name":"NME","type":"print","category":"music"},"title":"Watch Brandon Flowers perform ‘An American Dream’ and tease next Killers album on ‘Fallon’","link":"https://www.nme.com/news/music/brandon-flowers-an-american-dream-tease-next-killers-album-fallon-3970420?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=brandon-flowers-an-american-dream-tease-next-killers-album-fallon","pubDate":"Wed, 23 Sep 2026 12:36:04 +0000","timestamp":1790166964000,"content":"“We’ve got some titles floating around”\nThe post Watch Brandon Flowers perform ‘An American Dream’ and tease next Killers album on ‘Fallon’ appeared first on NME.","thumbnail":"","duration":"","audioUrl":""},{"source":{"name":"The Hindu","type":"print","category":"news"},"title":"BJP appoints State in-charges; Smriti Irani gets Haryana, Chhattisgarh; Ram Madhav T.N., Uttarakhand","link":"https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/bjp-appoints-state-in-charges-smriti-irani-gets-haryana-chhattisgarh-ram-madhav-tn-uttarakhand/article71499809.ece","pubDate":"Wed, 23 Sep 2026 18:06:03 +0530","timestamp":1790166963000,"content":"In a reshuffle, the BJP has elevated Anil Baluni as coordinator of its communication department, which includes the party's national media cell and social media unit","thumbnail":"","duration":"","audioUrl":""},{"source":{"name":"RFI","type":"print","category":"news"},"title":"Israël en colère après le discours d'Emmanuel Macron à l'ONU sur la Cisjordanie","link":"https://www.rfi.fr/fr/moyen-orient/20260923-isra%C3%ABl-en-col%C3%A8re-apr%C3%A8s-le-discours-d-emmanuel-macron-%C3%A0-l-onu-sur-la-cisjordanie","pubDate":"Wed, 23 Sep 2026 12:35:51 GMT","timestamp":1790166951000,"content":"En affirmant lors de son discours à l’Assemblée générale de l’ONU que le Hamas n'a jamais été actif en Cisjordanie, où siège l'Autorité palestinienne, Emmanuel Macron s'est attiré une riposte cinglante de la classe politique israélienne.

In this episode, our speaker Yuri demonstrates how to implement functions and explains how functions, scopes, and symbol lookup are built in code using C++. \nYuri Minaev is an experienced C++ developer, architect at PVS-Studio, and a recognized voice in the C++ community who has spoken at CppCast, C++ on Sea, and CppCon. Over the course of ten sessions, he'll guide you through each stage of building your own programming language.\nFunctions introduce multiple scopes and different levels of name visibility. Unlike variables, which previously existed only in the global scope, functions create their own scope. Names declared inside a function are not visible outside it, while names from parent scopes remain accessible. Compound statements can also create nested scopes.\nTo resolve names, the semantic analyzer uses a symbol table that associates names with their declarators and the scopes where they appear. Two lookup methods are used. An unscoped lookup searches the current scope and then moves upward through parent scopes until it finds the name. A scoped lookup checks only a specified scope. The latter also prevents duplicate names from being declared within the same scope.\nA function consists of the fn keyword, a name, parameters, an optional return type, and a compound statement containing its body. Parameters have a type and a unique name. Functions are parsed in two stages: the declaration is parsed and registered in the symbol table before the body is processed. This allows the function to reference itself recursively.\nThe semantic analyzer determines a function's return type from its return statements when no type is specified. It also checks that return expressions are compatible with the function's return type and adds implicit casts when necessary. An empty function with no return statements gets the void type. Incompatible return types make the function invalid.\nThe talk concludes with functions imp","thumbnail":"","duration":"","audioUrl":""},{"source":{"name":"Bloomberg","type":"print","category":"finance"},"title":"Earnings Growth Driving Market: Katrina Dudley","link":"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2026-09-23/earnings-growth-driving-market-katrina-dudley-video","pubDate":"Wed, 23 Sep 2026 12:35:17 GMT","timestamp":1790166917000,"content":"Katrina Dudley, Franklin Templeton Senior Investment Strategist, joins Bloomberg's Vonnie Quinn on \"Bloomberg Brief\" to discuss the factors driving the equity rally amid a higher yield environment.

They discuss how education could create more room for that instinct through project-based learning, intellectual side quests, and giving students the freedom to follow an idea deeply rather than optimizing around grades and credentials.\nThey also explore whether young founders are being pushed to professionalize too early, why Amjad thinks starting a company can sometimes be a form of “premature optimization,” and how curiosity led him from learning chess to experimenting with AI that can conduct machine-learning research.\nFinally, they discuss trust, judgment, and what it means to develop as a person, not just a builder, including why being contrarian and ambitious still needs to be balanced with the ability to work with other people.\n\nResources:\nFollow Amjad Masad on X: https://x.com/amasad\nFollow Gagan Biyani on X: https://x.com/gaganbiyani\n \nStay Updated:\nFind a16z on YouTube: YouTube\nFind a16z on X\nFind a16z on LinkedIn\nListen to the a16z Show on Spotify\nListen to the a16z Show on Apple Podcasts\nFollow our host: https://twitter.com/eriktorenberg\n \nPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

This has made Nvidia the most valuable company in the world and has made Huang incredibly influential in the Trump administration.\nAnd unlike many of the leaders of the frontier labs, Huang doesn’t think A.I. could wipe out humanity. He thinks that the doomers are just scaring people, and that the industry doesn’t need new regulation at all. I wanted to hear how he saw it, so I flew out to Nvidia’s headquarters in Santa Clara, Calif., to talk to him. \nMentioned:\n“Pacing the Frontier”\n“When A.I.

Four commas. Thirteen zeroes. It’s an eye-popping, almost infinite-sounding pile of money. And every time the debt passes a big round number, almost everyone asks the same question: How much debt is too much?\nIt’s maybe the most important question in macroeconomics. It’s also surprisingly hard to answer. When two economists tried to answer it back in 2010, it ignited a research slugfest that lasted a decade. \nWe did a show on this question in 2024, outlining everything we know and don’t know about when the national debt becomes a problem. But a lot has changed. Interest rates have risen and stayed high. Spending has steamrolled ahead. Doves have become hawks. \nSo on today’s show, we update our 2024 episode to revisit the age-old question: Is our debt finally too much? \n\nRead Planet Money: \n\nOur book: Planet Money: A Guide to the Economic Forces That Shape Your Life \nOur weekly longform Planet Money newsletter\nOur weekly Indicator round-up newsletter\nFollow: \n\nInstagram\nTikTok\nYouTube\nFacebook\nSupport public media with NPR+ and enjoy perks for over 25 podcasts like this one.

The goal isn’t to replace college for everyone, but to create a different path for young people who already know they want to build.\nThey also discuss why AI could make this an unusually powerful time to be young, how project-based learning changes when everyone has access to powerful tools, why failure can be valuable when it produces real learning, and what it takes to develop the judgment and people skills that can't simply be learned from a textbook.\n\nResources:\nFollow Gagan Biyani on X: https://x.com/gaganbiyani\nFollow Ben Horowitz on X: https://x.com/bhorowitz\n \nStay Updated:\nFind a16z on YouTube: YouTube\nFind a16z on X\nFind a16z on LinkedIn\nListen to the a16z Show on Spotify\nListen to the a16z Show on Apple Podcasts\nFollow our host: https://twitter.com/eriktorenberg\n \nPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

His framing is simpler: when software doesn’t do what it’s supposed to do, it has a bug. And as AI becomes more widely deployed, labs need the same kind of telemetry, debugging, incident reporting, and operational discipline that previous generations of software eventually developed.\nDrawing on everything from early computer hacking and Microsoft’s response to major software failures to Y2K and cybersecurity standards, Steven makes the case for treating AI reliability as an engineering problem.

Despite vast technological advances, our societies are increasingly looking like those that preceded the advent of literacy. So argues journalist James Marriott, who sees in our abandonment of reading a threat to democracy and a reversal of many of the Enlightenment's gains. He and EconTalk's Russ Roberts trace literacy from its fragile first days in ancient Mesopotamia through to the printing press and the \"Reading Revolution\" of the mid-to-late 18th century, exploring how--and whether--its spread shaped major historical events. They analyze Marriott's claim that reading grounds politics in rationality, consider the role of the Republic of Letters in driving Europe's Industrial Revolution, and debate whether a book or a movie is better at conveying complexity. Marriott ends with a consolation: Just as fast food gave rise to the gym, informational junk food may give rise to reading as an intentional discipline.","thumbnail":"https://cdn.simplecast.com/media/audio/transcoded/14ea66f7-768f-433c-bff1-0b34ab517bf9/6fdba516-8381-43b0-b29f-59d05512b693/episodes/audio/group/36b59102-323a-4f93-9f72-153dcd9d5843/group-item/b35938d3-c2f5-4c07-8ebe-c912b9ddacbc/128_default_tc.mp3?aid=rss_feed&feed=wgl4xEgL","duration":"01:04:52","audioUrl":"https://cdn.simplecast.com/media/audio/transcoded/14ea66f7-768f-433c-bff1-0b34ab517bf9/6fdba516-8381-43b0-b29f-59d05512b693/episodes/audio/group/36b59102-323a-4f93-9f72-153dcd9d5843/group-item/b35938d3-c2f5-4c07-8ebe-c912b9ddacbc/128_default_tc.mp3?aid=rss_feed&feed=wgl4xEgL"},{"source":{"name":"Up First","type":"audio","category":"news"},"title":"UN General Assembly Week, Trump's Triumphal Arch, Air Traffic Control AI","link":"https://www.npr.org/2026/09/21/nx-s1-5976010/un-general-assembly-week-trumps-triumphal-arch-air-traffic-control-ai","pubDate":"Mon, 21 Sep 2026 09:55:46 +0000","timestamp":1789984546000,"content":"World leaders gather in New York for the U.N.

It's always been fraught with controversy but there's also been a need or desire to get along. President Nixon was the first to visit China in 1972 and spoke with passion about the possibilities for the future between them.

In the last five years alone, China’s richest man, Jack Ma, China’s defence minister and the country’s foreign minister have all abruptly disappeared - some never to be seen in public again. Millions of Communist officials have been purged since Xi came to power. But one man was thought to be untouchable: the head of China’s military forces, Zhang Youxia. A childhood friend of Xi’s, Zhang was allowed to stay in his post, even as other military officials were disappearing. That is, until he, too, was suddenly gone. Celia Hatton investigates why Zhang was purged and looks inside and outside China for answers. She discovers there's a kind of pattern that dictators and autocratic rulers use to hold on to power.

He explains what he looks for in consumer products, why the best ones start with a narrow wedge and earn the right to do more, and why trust becomes increasingly important as AI agents gain access to more of our personal lives.\nThey also explore personal AI agents, the future of shopping and entertainment, why we haven’t seen another major social network emerge, and how AI could make technology more social rather than less, including agents that help people spend more time together in the real world.\nThis conversation originally appeared on the New Economies podcast.\n\nResources:\nFollow Josh Elman on X: https://x.com/jelman\nFollow New Economies: https://www.youtube.com/@NEWECONOMIESPOD\nNew Economies Substack: https://www.neweconomies.co/\n\n \nStay Updated:\nFind a16z on YouTube: YouTube\nFind a16z on X\nFind a16z on LinkedIn\nListen to the a16z Show on Spotify\nListen to the a16z Show on Apple Podcasts\nFollow our host: https://twitter.com/eriktorenberg\n \nPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

The bigger problem is context: models haven’t been in every meeting, don’t understand how decisions actually get made, and lack the institutional knowledge that experienced employees accumulate over years. He explains why building an organizational “ontology” could help close that gap and what Databricks has learned from doing it internally.\nThey also debate the current conversation around pacing frontier AI, what would constitute meaningful recursive self-improvement, and why Ali distinguishes speculative superintelligence risk from the much more immediate challenge of AI-powered cyberattacks. They close with how enterprises are managing exploding AI usage and costs, the shift toward multiple models and harnesses, and why agents are beginning to reshape infrastructure itself.\n \nResources:\nFollow Ali Ghodsi on X: https://x.com/alighodsi\nFollow Sarah Wang on X: https://x.com/sarahdingwang\nFollow Martin Casado on X: https://x.com/martin_casado\n \nStay Updated:\nFind a16z on YouTube: YouTube\nFind a16z on X\nFind a16z on LinkedIn\nListen to the a16z Show on Spotify\nListen to the a16z Show on Apple Podcasts\nFollow our host: https://twitter.com/eriktorenberg\n \nPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

When you have a package coming, you get a notification when it’s shipped, when it’s en route, and when it’s out for delivery. Why do so many companies send these constant updates?\nWe have a theory: It’s because of Domino’s. In 2008, Domino’s launched the Pizza Tracker, a novel tool that delighted customers by allowing them to obsessively monitor their pizza’s progress from order to oven to delivery. The Pizza Tracker became a canonical model for other companies trying to improve their customers’ experiences of waiting for all kinds of products and services. And now? Pizza Trackers are everywhere. \nOn today’s show: how the Domino’s Pizza Tracker shaped the internet, and how trackers went from transparently sharing information with consumers to — in some cases — actively deceiving us. \nSupport:\n— Planet Money+\nRead:\n— Our book: Planet Money: A Guide to the Economic Forces That Shape Your Life\n— Our weekly longform Planet Money newsletter\n— Our weekly Indicator round-up newsletter\nFollow:\n— Instagram\n— TikTok\n— YouTube\n— Facebook\nThis episode was hosted by Nick Fountain and Alex Mayyasi.

Through these experiences, Dalia has been reflecting on how we find meaning, sustain faith and understand what truly matters. She reflects on the journey that has taken her from researcher and public intellectual to a more personal exploration of spirituality, vulnerability and purpose. She shares how faith can be tested, reshaped and deepened through moments of uncertainty.","thumbnail":"http://open.live.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/6/redir/version/2.0/mediaset/audio-nondrm-download-rss-low/proto/http/vpid/p0pb20mx.mp3","duration":"1599","audioUrl":"http://open.live.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/6/redir/version/2.0/mediaset/audio-nondrm-download-rss-low/proto/http/vpid/p0pb20mx.mp3"},{"source":{"name":"Making Sense with Sam Harris","type":"audio","category":"philosophy"},"title":"#493 — Two Reasons to Meditate","link":"https://wakingup.libsyn.com/493-two-reasons-to-meditate","pubDate":"Thu, 17 Sep 2026 16:50:00 +0000","timestamp":1789663800000,"content":"Meditation can help us live better.

This video traces the surprisingly complicated history of beige, gray, and black homes—from San Francisco’s Victorian Painted Ladies to lead paint, tuberculosis, aluminum siding, vinyl siding, HOAs, and the economics of home resale.\n\nUsing one 1890s Victorian house as a timeline, we peel back more than a century of exterior paint to see how changing technology, health fears, manufacturing, maintenance costs, and property values shaped the colors of American homes.\n\nEarly homeowners used paint to make wood look like expensive stone. Then germ theory and tuberculosis helped turn white into a symbol of cleanliness—at exactly the moment toxic white lead became one of the most important ingredients in house paint. Later came cheap battleship gray, San Francisco’s 1960s Colorist Movement, the rise of the Painted Ladies, aluminum siding, vinyl siding, and the promise that homeowners might never need to paint again.\n\nToday, virtually the entire color spectrum is available. So why do so many new American houses still end up gray, beige, white, or black?\n\nThe answer has less to do with simple aesthetic taste than you might expect. Manufacturing constraints, maintenance, resale value, homeowners associations, and the transformation of houses into financial assets all influence what colors actually make it onto our buildings.\n\n**Sources / further reading:**\n\n- National Park Service — *Preservation Brief 10: Exterior Paint Problems on Historic Woodwork*\n- Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — *History of World TB Day*\n- U.S. Environmental Protection Agency — resources on lead-based paint and the 1978 residential paint ban\n- Le Corbusier — *L’Art décoratif d’aujourd’hui* (1925), including the “Law of Ripolin”\n- San Fra","thumbnail":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/RjJO-fCWR54/mqdefault.jpg","duration":"","audioUrl":""},{"source":{"name":"Up First","type":"audio","category":"news"},"title":"Fed Raises Interest Rates, Iran War and Oil Prices, EU-Canada Alliance","link":"https://www.npr.org/2026/09/17/nx-s1-5972566/fed-raises-interest-rates-iran-war-and-oil-prices-eu-canada-alliance","pubDate":"Thu, 17 Sep 2026 10:02:32 +0000","timestamp":1789639352000,"content":"The Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the first time in three years as it tries to bring down stubborn inflation, putting new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh at odds with President Trump’s calls for lower rates.\nRising fuel prices linked to the Iran war are driving protests and economic pressure around the world as Saudi Arabia faces attacks on its oil infrastructure and shipping routes.\nEuropean Union President Ursula von der Leyen is proposing a new “associate member” relationship with Canada as the two draw closer amid tensions with the United States, while President Trump threatens new trade penalties in response.\nWant more analysis of the most important news of the day, plus a little fun?

His seventh choice is the pioneering scientist Rosalind Franklin (1920 - 1958), first released in February 2018. During her distinguished career, Franklin carried out ground-breaking research into coal and viruses but she is perhaps best remembered for her investigations in the field of DNA. In 1952 her research generated a famous image that became known as Photograph 51. When the Cambridge scientists Francis Crick and James Watson saw this image, it enabled them the following year to work out that DNA has a double-helix structure, one of the most important discoveries of modern science. Watson, Crick and Franklin's colleague Maurice Wilkins received a Nobel Prize in 1962 for this achievement but Franklin did not and today many people believe that Franklin has not received enough recognition for her work. \nWith:\nPatricia Fara\nPresident of the British Society for the History of Science\nJim Naismith\nInterim lead of the Rosalind Franklin Institute, Director of the Research Complex at Harwell and Professor at the University of Oxford\nJudith Howard\nProfessor of Chemistry at Durham University\nProducer: Victoria Brignell.\nReading list:\nJenifer Glynn, My Sister Rosalind Franklin (Oxford University Press, 2012)\nKersten T.

Starting again, his team followed customers from AI presentations into sales workflows and eventually found a harder problem: making sense of the fragmented and often conflicting data spread across a company’s emails, calls, CRM, and other systems.\nThey unpack Lightfield’s idea of a “business world model,” why Keith believes intelligence can replace much of the rigid schema behind traditional software, and what changes when AI has enough context to reason about a company and its customers. They also get into building for greenfield versus brownfield markets, AI-era pricing, running a company where everyone is a generalist, and Keith’s lessons from making a hard pivot.\n\nResources:\nFollow Keith Peiris on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/keithpeiris\nFollow Alex Rampell on X: https://x.com/arampell\nFollow Joe Schmidt on X: https://x.com/joeschmidtiv\nLearn more about Lightfield: https://lightfield.app\nStay Updated:\nFind a16z on YouTube: YouTube\nFind a16z on X\nFind a16z on LinkedIn\nListen to the a16z Show on Spotify\nListen to the a16z Show on Apple Podcasts\nFollow our host: https://twitter.com/eriktorenberg\n \nPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

Today on the show, two stories from Planet Money’s daily podcast The Indicator about the ways investing is changing, and getting riskier.\nAccording to one study, more than half of Gen Zers are using investment dollars for sports gambling. On average, this is not a smart strategy for the long term. It might be that sports betting today is like day trading was for a previous generation of young investors: something a lot of young people, typically men, do, lose money at for a while, then quit. We review the early research on this trend and meet a state legislator proposing ways to stem problem gambling.\nMore, generally younger people are also investing with borrowed money. Trading on margin is at an all time high of over $1.5 trillion. In the past, high levels of margin investing have led to crashes. We hear those stories and find out what the Fed might do to reign in the risk. \nRelated Indicator episodes\n— How AI might mess with financial markets\n— Prediction markets are threatening national security.

Ruby explains her concept of “paracontent,” where the conversation around a phenomenon can become much larger than the phenomenon itself, and what social media data can tell us about how these trends move from niche communities into the mainstream.\nThey also trace the much longer history of body optimization, from changing ideals of thinness to the rise of the quantified self, and ask what comes next as technology gives people increasingly granular ways to measure and modify themselves.

Agents are also beginning to write their own queries and even propose their own schemas, which raises new questions about how data should be structured, governed, and trusted.\nSailesh Krishnamurthy is a VP of Engineering at Google, and in this episode he joins Matt Merrill to discuss his background, how databases have evolved over the past fifty years, and where the field is heading as AI reshapes how data is queried, structured, and trusted.\nSponsorship inquiries:\nsponsor@softwareengineeringdaily.com\n\nThe post Inside Google’s Database Infrastructure for the AI Era appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.","thumbnail":"https://media.transistor.fm/f0d2e5d8/b070c184.mp3","duration":"1:18:26","audioUrl":"https://media.transistor.fm/f0d2e5d8/b070c184.mp3"},{"source":{"name":"The Ezra Klein Show","type":"audio","category":"news"},"title":"The ‘But China!’ Dilemma Driving the A.I.

And is it possible that the two countries leading the A.I. race could actually strike a deal? \nMatt Sheehan is a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

And he’s working to try to lay a foundation for future coordination between the two countries. He’s the author of a newsletter under his name and the 2019 book “The Transpacific Experiment: How China and California Collaborate and Compete for Our Future.”\nThis conversation was recorded on Sept. 10.\nMentioned:\n“The Adolescence of Technology” by Dario Amodei\nBook Recommendations:\n“Country Driving” by Peter Hessler\n“From the Soil” by Fei Xiaotong\n“On Beauty” by Zadie Smith\nThoughts?

The disruption comes as a result of the UAE’s position in the ongoing US-Israel war with Iran. Throughout the conflict, Iran has attacked the UAE more times than any other country, including Israel.\nUntil the war with Iran began, Dubai was a major tourist destination, famous for its modern skyscrapers, luxurious beaches and low crime rate.

Underlying it is a bigger thesis: just as language models became general-purpose engines for working with text, world models could become a horizontal layer for visual and physical intelligence across industries from entertainment and gaming to construction and robotics.\nThey also explore how world models could change video games and creative tools, why precise spatial control matters, and the potential for “real-to-sim-to-real” robotics, where a few photos of a physical environment could eventually be enough to build a simulation and adapt a robot to that specific space.\n\nResources:\nFollow Justin Johnson on X: https://x.com/jcjohnss\nFollow Theo Jaffee on X: https://x.com/theojaffee\nFollow Sofia on X: https://x.com/schisofrenia\nFollow MTS on X: https://x.com/mtslive\n \nStay Updated:\nFind a16z on YouTube: YouTube\nFind a16z on X\nFind a16z on LinkedIn\nListen to the a16z Show on Spotify\nListen to the a16z Show on Apple Podcasts\nFollow our host: https://twitter.com/eriktorenberg\n \nPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

The attack killed 2,753 people. As smoke billowed from the burning towers, firefighters, police officers and paramedics from across New York City raced to the scene, climbing stairwells packed with fleeing civilians in an effort to reach those trapped. When the towers fell, hundreds of first responders were still inside, and in the years since, even more have died from illnesses linked to their time working in the toxic dust of Ground Zero. Twenty-five years on, Kirsty Wark travels to New York to bring together the first responders and survivors who lived through that morning. New York Fire Department Battalion Chief Joseph Pfeifer was the first commander on the scene, and later became planning chief for the rescue and recovery effort at Ground Zero. Office worker Richard Eichen, who escaped from the 90th floor of the North Tower. Jill Pila, whose husband Jim Gartenberg worked on the 86th floor. Former NYPD officer Judy Castro, who rushed to the North Tower to help evacuate the building. St John's Hospital paramedic Jimmy Dobson, who spent the day bringing the injured to safety from the streets surrounding Ground Zero. Rear Admiral Michael Day, who coordinated the evacuation of an estimated 500,000 people off the island of Manhattan later that day. And the novelist A.M.

But that’s not quite right. Fukuyama also talked about the serious weaknesses he saw in liberal democracy — how it may not fully satisfy the human soul — and his warnings feel very prescient now. \nSo I wanted to have Fukuyama on the show to talk through the ideas in his book and how he sees them today, at a time when liberal democracy seems increasingly imperiled around the world. Fukuyama is a political scientist at Stanford University and the author of a number of other great books of political theory, as well as a new memoir, “In the Realm of the Last Man.”\nMentioned:\n“The End of History?” by Francis Fukuyama\n“The Righteous Mind” by Jonathan Haidt\nBook Recommendations:\n“Recoding America” by Jennifer Pahlka\n“Why Nothing Works” by Marc J.

Paul stayed with her, supporting her through the long journey down as thousands fled and firefighters climbed towards the danger. They emerged only minutes before the tower collapsed. Paul believed he had saved Judith, but in the years that followed he came to understand that she had also saved him. Colm Flynn meets deacon Paul Carris to hear how the events of 9/11 transformed his life and faith. Paul recalls the extraordinary calm inside the stairwell, Judith praying Psalm 23, and the silence he later recognised as the presence of God. Twenty-five years after the attacks, he reflects on the terror of that day, and how a split-second decision to help a stranger changed his life forever.","thumbnail":"http://open.live.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/6/redir/version/2.0/mediaset/audio-nondrm-download-rss-low/proto/http/vpid/p0p8s62m.mp3","duration":"1597","audioUrl":"http://open.live.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/6/redir/version/2.0/mediaset/audio-nondrm-download-rss-low/proto/http/vpid/p0p8s62m.mp3"},{"source":{"name":"Kyla Scanlon","type":"video","category":"finance"},"title":"What even is $5,000","link":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_22U1wdbWY","pubDate":"2026-09-11T00:02:58+00:00","timestamp":1789084978000,"content":"","thumbnail":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Q_22U1wdbWY/mqdefault.jpg","duration":"","audioUrl":""},{"source":{"name":"BBC Global News Podcast","type":"audio","category":"news"},"title":"Philippine ferry erupts in flames","link":"http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0p8zc86","pubDate":"Thu, 10 Sep 2026 15:18:00 +0000","timestamp":1789053480000,"content":"An urgent search for survivors is underway after a ferry in the Philippines catches fire.

Developers have to grapple with problems such as race conditions, partial failures, and message ordering. Notably, one category of distributed software has largely escaped these burdens. A distributed database can spread a single query across thousands of machines, handling the coordination, failure recovery, and ordering internally. This raises a natural question of why general-purpose distributed programming can’t feel the same way.\nThis is a highly practical problem at AWS, because the reliability of cloud infrastructure depends on getting distributed systems right at massive scale. Joe Hellerstein spent thirty years as a database and distributed systems researcher at UC Berkeley, where he pioneered much of the foundational thinking on applying database ideas to distributed programming. He is now at AWS, where he works to bring his research into production through Hydro, which is a Rust framework to bring declarative queries to general-purpose distributed programming.\nIn this episode, Joe joins Sean Falconer to discuss how ideas from the database world could make distributed programming dramatically simpler and safer.\nSponsorship inquiries:\nsponsor@softwareengineeringdaily.com\nThe post A Rust Framework to Simplify Distributed Systems appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.","thumbnail":"https://media.transistor.fm/76e7a404/3aa72d4d.mp3","duration":"50:31","audioUrl":"https://media.transistor.fm/76e7a404/3aa72d4d.mp3"},{"source":{"name":"Practical AI","type":"audio","category":"ai"},"title":"Computer-Use Agents and the Future of the Agentic Internet","link":"https://share.transistor.fm/s/72586f97","pubDate":"Thu, 10 Sep 2026 05:00:00 -0400","timestamp":1789030800000,"content":"Longtime followers of Practical AI know that multi-repeat guest and friend Demetrios Brinkmann combines brilliant insight and playful banter into one fun-filled show, and this conversion with Chris was no different.

His sixth choice is Plato's Republic, an episode first released in June 2017. Is it always better to be just than unjust? That is the central question of Plato's Republic, written in c380BC. Plato applied this question both to the individual and the city-state, considering earlier and current forms of government in Athens and potential forms, in which the ideal city might be ruled by philosophers. The Republic is arguably Plato's best known and greatest work, a dialogue between Socrates and his companions, featuring the allegory of the cave and ideas about immortality of the soul, the value of poetry to society, and democracy's vulnerability to a clever demagogue seeking tyranny.\nWith\nAngie Hobbs\nProfessor of the Public Understanding of Philosophy at the University of Sheffield\nMM McCabe\nProfessor of Ancient Philosophy Emerita at King's College London\nand\nJames Warren\nFellow of Corpus Christi College and a Reader in Ancient Philosophy at the University of Cambridge\nProducer: Simon Tillotson\nReading list:\nJulia Annas, An Introduction to Plato's Republic (Oxford University Press, 1998)\nRachel Barney, Tad Brennan and Charles Brittain, Plato and the Divided Self (Cambridge University Press, 2012)\nG.

These sinkholes occur suddenly when the soil collapses, forming a gaping hole in the earth. The sinkholes are a symptom of the ongoing drought and unsustainable water extraction in Konya province, Turkey's agricultural heartland. \nThe production of water-thirsty crops such as sugar beet is prioritised in this region, which is used to make Turkey’s sugar. To irrigate these crops, farmers have had to rely on licensed and unlicensed wells tapping into the groundwater. Years of drought has meant that underground reserves cannot be renewed, making current farming practices unsustainable. The increased formation of sinkholes is not a surprise for experts who have been warning for years that extracting groundwater could tip the balance of nature.

But on the other hand, inflation is frustratingly sticky and higher than we want, job turnover is extremely low making looking for work an endless grind, and more than 75% of Americans say they’re stressed about money. \nSo we asked you – our listeners – how is the economy working for you? We got a range of responses. Some people are going to great lengths to save money and make ends meet, others are thriving and feel kind of guilty about their good fortune. We also heard from a new generation being shaped by this economic moment into hyper cost-conscious shoppers. You might call them the inflation generation.

They also cover a run of large funding rounds, from AI security startup HiddenLayer to AI personal assistant Instinct and restaurant software platform Owner.com, all against the backdrop of a deluge of new model releases.\nThe main topic digs into China’s “transfer station” economy, the sprawling proxy market that gives developers cheap access to frontier models officially banned in the country. Drawing on a China Talk report, they walk through the tactics at play, from “one fish, three meals” credit farming to silent model swapping, and unpack how this pipeline of captured outputs and human traces may be fueling the recent surge in high-quality open weight models. Gregor and Sean also examine where Meta now sits in the landscape after shelving Llama and pivoting toward its Muse family.\nAs always, the episode wraps up with a few standout Hacker News threads, including a critique of how log-scale charts obscure the real cost gap between open weight and frontier models, and a look at “invisible companies” as an under-the-radar investment strategy.\nSponsorship inquiries:\nsponsor@softwareengineeringdaily.com\nThe post SED News: The NVIDIA-Hugging Face Deal, China’s Proxy Economy, the Open Weight Surge appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.","thumbnail":"https://media.transistor.fm/98c98a83/0dcd5885.mp3","duration":"52:06","audioUrl":"https://media.transistor.fm/98c98a83/0dcd5885.mp3"},{"source":{"name":"The Ezra Klein Show","type":"audio","category":"news"},"title":"What ‘Hyperpolitics’ Explains About This Era","link":"https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/08/opinion/ezra-klein-podcast-anton-jager.html","pubDate":"Tue, 8 Sep 2026 09:00:00 +0000","timestamp":1788858000000,"content":"Behind the intense political movements of the last decade, from Trumpism to wokeness and back again, there’s a strange and erratic rhythm. Movements saturate the culture seemingly overnight, only to evaporate or spark backlash just as rapidly. We’re extremely politically engaged, yet we’ve rarely felt so powerless to create lasting policy change.\nI haven’t seen many very successful attempts to explain what is driving this volatility. But one concept that has taken off recently, and captures what so many of us are feeling, is “hyperpolitics.”\nThe idea comes from Anton Jäger, a historian and contributing writer to New York Times Opinion. In his book “Hyperpolitics: Extreme Politicization Without Political Consequences,” Jäger theorizes what it means to live in a moment marked by hyper-engagement — high voter turnout, mass protests, trends that flare up and fade with extreme rapidity — yet where institutional trust is low, institutional relationships are decayed and people are disconnected from the structures that make political efforts stick.\nI think Jäger’s theory cuts to the core of this political era. So I invited him on the show to break down what hyperpolitics is, how we got here and what it actually takes to build lasting change today.\nMentioned:\n“Hyperpolitics: Extreme Politicization Without Political Consequences” by Anton Jäger\n“Hyperpolitics in Command?” by Anton Jäger\n“Trump’s Revolutionary Sense of Time Is Changing Politics” by Ivan Krastev\n“Public Opinion” by Walter Lippmann \nBook Recommendations:\n“The Prophet” by Isaac Deutscher\n“Cheese” by Willem Elsschot\n“Quelques mois dans ma vie” by Michel Houellebecq\n“Extension of the Domain of Struggle (Whatever)” by Michel Houellebecq\n“Serotonin” by Michel Houellebecq\nThoughts?

Along the way they wrestle with meritocracy, why bureaucracies fail without feedback, and whether great teachers must resist irony.

The standard approach to grounding a model in one’s own data has been retrieval augmented generation, or RAG, where an agent searches a vector database for relevant information at query time. That pattern works, but it has limitations, such as retrieving information that’s not truly relevant, repeating the same lookup work on every query, and producing inconsistent answers to the same question.\nPinecone is a vector database that’s widely used to power semantic search and RAG at scale. The team recently developed Nexus, which is a knowledge engine that reframes context as a first-class, precomputed asset rather than something reassembled on the fly. The approach borrows the database concept of a materialized view, and curates context once into a versioned artifact that carries its own schema, metadata, permissions, and lineage.\nJörg Schad is the VP of Engineering at Pinecone. In this episode, he joins Kevin Ball for an in-depth conversation about the frontier of retrieval technology. They discuss precompiled context, how context artifacts are curated and versioned much like code, how metadata and semantic layers help agents choose the right information, and much more.\nSponsorship inquiries:\nsponsor@softwareengineeringdaily.com\n\nThe post Moving Beyond RAG with Precomputed Context appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.","thumbnail":"https://media.transistor.fm/94344b5c/23746022.mp3","duration":"55:48","audioUrl":"https://media.transistor.fm/94344b5c/23746022.mp3"},{"source":{"name":"In Our Time","type":"audio","category":"education"},"title":"Archive: Empress Dowager Cixi","link":"http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0nxnf0t","pubDate":"Thu, 03 Sep 2026 08:45:00 +0000","timestamp":1788425100000,"content":"Misha Glenny delves in to the In Our Time archive to select ten episodes for listeners to revisit. His fifth choice, first released in May 2024, is the Empress Dowager Cixi, the woman who, for almost fifty years, was the most powerful figure in the Chinese court. Cixi (1835-1908) started out at court as one of the Emperor's many concubines, yet was the only one who gave him a son to succeed him and who also possessed great political skill and ambition. When their son became emperor he was still a young child and Cixi ruled first through him and then, following his death, through another child emperor. This was a time of rapid change in China, when western powers and Japan humiliated the forces of the Qing empire time after time, and Cixi had the chance to push forward the modernising reforms the country needed to thrive. However, when she found those reforms conflicted with her own interests or those of the Qing dynasty, she was arguably obstructive or too slow to act and she has been personally blamed for some of those many humiliations even when the fault lay elsewhere.\nWith\nYangwen Zheng\nProfessor of Chinese History at the University of Manchester\nRana Mitter\nThe S.T.

However, beneath that goal lies a set of hard questions about privacy, anonymity, security, and the line between what a private platform may choose to do and what a government may compel.\nJohn Coleman is a legislative counsel at the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, or FIRE, where he focuses on artificial intelligence and free speech policy. In this episode, John joins Kevin Ball to discuss the different methods of age verification and their privacy implications, the long constitutional history of anonymous speech, how recent court decisions are reshaping what governments can require, the data breach and surveillance risks these mandates create, and what engineers and companies should keep in mind when they are asked to build these systems.\nSponsorship inquiries:\nsponsor@softwareengineeringdaily.com\nThe post The Death of Online Anonymity appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.","thumbnail":"https://media.transistor.fm/096b3d1a/f9c37c61.mp3","duration":"52:42","audioUrl":"https://media.transistor.fm/096b3d1a/f9c37c61.mp3"},{"source":{"name":"The Ezra Klein Show","type":"audio","category":"news"},"title":"Best Of: The Tao of Rick Rubin","link":"https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/10/opinion/ezra-klein-podcast-rick-rubin.html","pubDate":"Tue, 1 Sep 2026 09:00:00 +0000","timestamp":1788253200000,"content":"Whatever type of music you love, Rick Rubin has probably left his mark on it.

Rubin was offering a guide to how to cultivate the mind states that lead to real creativity. And that’s what this conversation was about, too: how to open yourself up more to the world, and learn to trust your own taste. \nRubin’s advice feels more relevant with each passing year, as technology gets ever better at hacking our attention and the world fills with A.I. slop.

Most Gazans, he insists, have turned against Hamas for oppressing them, enriching itself, and bringing catastrophe to Gaza in the aftermath of October 7th. Alkhatib calls for Palestinian introspection and agency while also faulting Israel's settlement expansion and its undermining of moderates. He envisions a demilitarized Gaza run by nonpartisan technocrats, a Palestinian identity defined by aspiration rather than opposition, and direct Israeli-Palestinian dialogue--starting with a \"Great Reset\" of 100 days without violence on either side. EconTalk host Russ Roberts, more skeptical that Hamas will ever truly disarm, shares Alkhatib's hope that the two peoples might one day live as peaceful neighbors.","thumbnail":"https://cdn.simplecast.com/media/audio/transcoded/14ea66f7-768f-433c-bff1-0b34ab517bf9/6fdba516-8381-43b0-b29f-59d05512b693/episodes/audio/group/fd9065de-a050-4c6b-afdf-43489e7a2816/group-item/6fa82f6f-c647-4b21-8e86-208f201d3ad1/128_default_tc.mp3?aid=rss_feed&feed=wgl4xEgL","duration":"01:22:48","audioUrl":"https://cdn.simplecast.com/media/audio/transcoded/14ea66f7-768f-433c-bff1-0b34ab517bf9/6fdba516-8381-43b0-b29f-59d05512b693/episodes/audio/group/fd9065de-a050-4c6b-afdf-43489e7a2816/group-item/6fa82f6f-c647-4b21-8e86-208f201d3ad1/128_default_tc.mp3?aid=rss_feed&feed=wgl4xEgL"},{"source":{"name":"Shop Talk Show","type":"audio","category":"tech"},"title":"730: A/B Testing with Charts, Music Recommendations, & Web Permissions","link":"https://shoptalkshow.com/730/","pubDate":"Mon, 31 Aug 2026 08:31:30 +0000","timestamp":1788165090000,"content":"Show Description\nThe realities of A/B testing, the future of specialized hosting in the AI era, microphone and camera permissions on the web, tricks for working with HTML email, and hyping Midnight Vinyl Club and How Many Dudes?\nListen on Website\nWatch on YouTube\nLinks\n\n8 New CSS, JS and HTML Features You Should Know - Syntax #1033\nMermaid | Diagramming and charting tool\nWhat Is AI Coding Doing To Us? - YouTube\nMidnight Vinyl Club\nMJML - The Responsive Email Framework\nAT Protocol\nHow Many Dudes? | Download and Play!","thumbnail":"https://cdn.simplecast.com/media/audio/transcoded/2f3c0314-dd01-4f5a-9961-8e71ed7860a7/167887a0-ac00-4cf9-bc69-b5ca845997db/episodes/audio/group/d4b7588a-235b-4753-9dce-8abe3a95e34e/group-item/ed92f486-ad9f-4899-a4b0-cf30b9a3f8ef/128_default_tc.mp3?nocache","duration":"01:00:14","audioUrl":"https://cdn.simplecast.com/media/audio/transcoded/2f3c0314-dd01-4f5a-9961-8e71ed7860a7/167887a0-ac00-4cf9-bc69-b5ca845997db/episodes/audio/group/d4b7588a-235b-4753-9dce-8abe3a95e34e/group-item/ed92f486-ad9f-4899-a4b0-cf30b9a3f8ef/128_default_tc.mp3?nocache"},{"source":{"name":"This American Life","type":"audio","category":"culture"},"title":"896: I Know What You Need","link":"https://www.thisamericanlife.org/896/i-know-what-you-need","pubDate":"Sun, 30 Aug 2026 20:00:00 -0400","timestamp":1788134400000,"content":"Moments when it seems obvious what to do for someone else, so of course you jump in and try to help — and what happens after that. \n\n\nVisit thisamericanlife.org/lifepartners to sign up for our premium subscription.\n(00:00:00) Prologue: Devon Taylor tells host Ira Glass about a time she confronted people who stole $100 from her. (12 minutes)\n(00:12:01) Act One: We get to an age when we find ourselves taking care of our parents, whether they want us to or not.

Like, why does it have to be this way?\nThat is the spirit of the song, why it became an anthem, and the heart of the movie 9 to 5. \nThere’s so much to say about Dolly Parton, about her music, acting career, her business savvy, not to mention Dollywood. Today though, we wanted to bring you the audacious true story of 9 to 5, the movie and the song. \nBetween the 1960s and 1980s, there was a real sense that big workplace changes were just beyond the horizon. At the time, a very common job for women was clerical work. In 1973, a group of secretaries in Boston formed a women's labor organization. They called themselves the \"9to5.\"\nToday on the show, we revisit our 2021 episode where we meet the women behind the movement that inspired the movie. And a look at how far we have — or haven't — come since then.\nThis is a special Sunday bonus episode.

Last year Forbes included her on their list of America's Richest Self-Made Women, with an estimated net worth of $405 million.\nShe grew up in Plaistow, East London, the eldest of four daughters. Her parents separated when she was five and she was raised by her mum, who worked long hours as a trader at an investment bank. Emma took on a lot of the responsibility at home caring for her sisters. Dyslexia meant she struggled at school, but she found satisfaction in a string of part-time jobs, from delivering newspapers to making sandwiches in a deli. She later dropped out of the London College of Fashion to pursue a career in the industry, and by her mid-twenties she had founded her first company. \nShe made her name brokering deals between celebrities and brands that included signing Natalie Portman as the face of Dior. In 2016 she founded an inclusive denim brand called Good American with Khloé Kardashian, and in 2019 she launched the shapewear brand Skims with Kim Kardashian. \nLately her success has led her out of the boardroom and into the spotlight with guest appearances on Dragon’s Den, and the US equivalent Shark Tank, as well as launching a podcast and writing a memoir. \nEmma lives in Los Angeles with her husband and business partner Jens, and they have four children.\nPresenter: Lauren Laverne \nProducer: Hannah Hufford and Christine Pawlowsky\nDesert Island Discs has cast away many fashion leaders to the island over the years including Stella McCartney, Vivienne Westwood and Paul Smith.

Those types let developers describe the shape of their data and catch mistakes before code ever runs, while also powering the autocompletion and editor tooling that many developers now rely on every day. It was first released in 2012, and has since become one of the most widely used tools in web development. TypeScript recently underwent one of the most significant changes in its history with the release of version 7.\nDaniel Rosenwasser is the Principal Product Manager of TypeScript at Microsoft, where he began as an engineer on the team just weeks after the TypeScript 1.0 release. In this episode, Daniel joins Josh Goldberg to talk about the features of TypeScript 7. They discuss the TypeScript team’s approach to tooling, TypeScript’s relationship with the TC39 standards process behind JavaScript, the new API and IPC boundary, how LLMs could reshape type checking and linting, and more.\nSponsorship inquiries:\nsponsor@softwareengineeringdaily.com\nThe post TypeScript 7 and What Comes Next appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.","thumbnail":"https://media.transistor.fm/f6ab72dc/b084152d.mp3","duration":"57:15","audioUrl":"https://media.transistor.fm/f6ab72dc/b084152d.mp3"},{"source":{"name":"In Our Time","type":"audio","category":"education"},"title":"Archive: Plate Tectonics","link":"http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0nxf46w","pubDate":"Thu, 27 Aug 2026 08:45:00 +0000","timestamp":1787820300000,"content":"Misha Glenny delves in to the In Our Time archive to select ten episodes for listeners to revisit. His fourth choice, first released in January 2008, explores how the science of plate tectonics revolutionised our understanding of the planet on which we live. America is getting further away from Europe. This is not a political statement but a geological fact. Just as the Pacific is getting smaller, the Red Sea bigger, the Himalayas are still going up and one day the Horn of Africa will be a large island. This is the theory of plate tectonics, a revolutionary idea in 20th century geology that claimed the continents of Earth were dancing to the music of deep time. A dance of incredible slowness, yet powerful enough to throw up the mountains and pour away the oceans. Plate tectonics, the idea that the earth’s surface moved on a carpet of molten magma, constituted a genuine scientific revolution in geology. It explained why mountains appeared and why earthquakes occurred; it explained the curious distribution of fossils across the globe and finally solved the age old conundrum of why continents such as Africa and South America appeared to fit together like a giant jigsaw puzzle. Plate tectonics has made geologists, and many more besides, profoundly re-think what the Earth was, how it worked and how it related to all the things in it. \nWith:\nRichard Corfield\nVisiting Senior Lecturer in Earth Sciences at the Open University\nJoe Cann\nSenior Fellow in the School of Earth and Environment at the University of Leeds\nLynne Frostick\nDirector of the Hull Environment Research Institute and Professor of Physical Geography at the University of Hull\nIn Our Time is a BBC Studios production\nSpanning history, religion, culture, science and philosophy, In Our Time from BBC Radio 4 is essential listening for the intellectually curious.

Science reporter Ira Flatow took a trip to the South Pole that put NPR on the news industry map. We’ll hear an excerpt where he brings us along through what life is like on the ice, including a memorable interview with the wildlife.\n\nThen we look inside McMurdo Station, the largest human settlement and research base on Antarctica to hear from a listener who managed the store at the base back in the 1980s. Normal retail rules do not apply. We’ll also speak with an economist who has estimated the continent’s monetary value, while asking questions like “why put a price tag on this uninhabitable land”? She makes the case we should consider the environmental benefit as a service. \n\n\nBut, we can’t let the episode and the series wrap without marking our achievements! You did it! As part of our graduation celebration, we hear from your fellow members of the summer school class of 2026. Listeners like you who have written in from around the globe with provocative economic ideas that could make life better for all of us if we just have the will to do it.

Three active projects put a control plane on top: Traefik Manager (Python + Flask), Nginx UI (Go + Vue), and caddy/ui (React + Node). All three are additive rather than replacements - none of them take ownership of your config away from you - which is the part that matters when the thing has write access to production routing.\nTraefik Manager is the Python one: Flask 3.1 and Gunicorn for the control plane, a lightweight Go agent for remote instances, currently v1.10.0 with an Android companion app.\nNginx UI is a single Go binary at 11.3k stars, with a block-style config editor, an Ace editor doing LLM completion on nginx syntax, and an MCP server so agents can drive it.\ncaddy/ui runs as two containers next to your existing Caddy, reads and writes your Caddyfile directly, and uses Caddy's /adapt API to validate before reload - no Docker socket required.\nEach one edits the config the underlying server already reads, so your files stay the source of truth and you can drop the UI without unwinding anything.\nUndo is a first-class feature across all three -","thumbnail":"https://pythonbytes.fm/episodes/download/493/calver-and-lts.mp3","duration":"2471","audioUrl":"https://pythonbytes.fm/episodes/download/493/calver-and-lts.mp3"},{"source":{"name":"Software Engineering Daily","type":"audio","category":"tech"},"title":"The Gap Between AI Spending and AI Value","link":"https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/podcasts/the-gap-between-ai-spending-and-ai-value/","pubDate":"Tue, 25 Aug 2026 09:00:00 +0000","timestamp":1787648400000,"content":"It is widely reported that a gap has emerged between enterprise spending on AI and the durable value captured from that spend. Individual employees have enthusiastically adopted coding assistants and chatbots, yet those gains do not seem to be transforming businesses at an organizational level. One of the most important questions in the tech industry today is understanding why AI is not yet delivering returns that match the investment, and what separates the small number of enterprises succeeding from the many that are not.\nScale AI is known for supplying the human-labeled data behind many frontier models. It now also builds AI applications and agents for large enterprises. That combination of working alongside frontier labs and inside enterprise deployments gives the company a rare view of why enterprise AI may be stalling.\nEmily Xue is the Head of Enterprise AI at Scale AI, and previously spent over a decade at Google. In this episode, Emily joins Kevin Ball to discuss the three layers where enterprise AI breaks down, why frontier model benchmarks miss what enterprises actually need, the data foundation problem, how the most successful companies combine internal domain expertise with outside AI specialists, and more.\nSponsorship inquiries:\nsponsor@softwareengineeringdaily.com\nThe post The Gap Between AI Spending and AI Value appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.","thumbnail":"https://media.transistor.fm/824118d6/3ba9bd7b.mp3","duration":"54:42","audioUrl":"https://media.transistor.fm/824118d6/3ba9bd7b.mp3"},{"source":{"name":"The Ezra Klein Show","type":"audio","category":"news"},"title":"This Is Why People Hate the Government","link":"https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/25/opinion/ezra-klein-podcast-annie-lowrey.html","pubDate":"Tue, 25 Aug 2026 09:00:00 +0000","timestamp":1787648400000,"content":"In 2024, Americans spent an average of six full workdays a year filling out government forms, according to the government’s own estimates. That’s a total of 12 billion hours, or $430 billion of uncompensated labor a year.\nIt’s easy to read something like this and say: “Oh, well, government is inefficient. That’s the price we pay for nice things.” But no, it’s not. Social Security, Medicare and the Postal Service are incredibly complex programs that are easy to use. When government is hard to gain access to, it is often by design. Republicans want paying taxes to be a hellish hassle. Programs for the poor are often designed to humiliate, punish, control or scrutinize. How the government works is always a choice. When it works poorly, we should ask why — and we should demand better.  \nAnnie Lowrey is a staff writer at The Atlantic and the author of the new book “The Time Tax: How the Government Wastes Our Time — and How to Fix It.” She is also, I should note, my wife, so this is a book whose ideas I have been living with for years. They have quietly infused more than a few episodes of this show.

His talents have been acknowledged with a knighthood, five BAFTAs and two Oscars.    \nRoger was born in Torquay, Devon in 1949. In 1968 he attended the Bath Academy of Art where he was inspired by one of his tutors, the street photographer Roger Mayne, to go out with his camera and capture what he saw. Roger Deakins followed this advice and spent his weekends shooting people and places in British seaside towns.\nIn 1975 Roger graduated from the National Film School in Beaconsfield and started work as a cameraman – making documentaries and music videos. His first feature film was Cruel Passion which came out in 1977. In 1984 he worked on Michael Radford’s film adaptation of George Orwell’s novel 1984, starring Richard Burton and John Hurt.    \nThe first of Roger’s collaborations with filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen started in 1991 with the film Barton Fink. The three of them went on to make 12 films together including O Brother, Where Art Thou? Fargo and The Big Lebowski.  \nIn 2018 Roger won his first Academy Award for Blade Runner 2049, directed by Denis Villeneuve. He was knighted for services to film in 2021.       \nRoger lives in California with his wife James. They also have a home in Devon. \nDISC ONE: One of Us Cannot Be Wrong - Leonard Cohen\nDISC TWO: Aqaba - June Tabor\nDISC THREE: 21st Century Schizoid Man - King Crimson\nDISC FOUR: Soldier’s Song - Lucinda Williams    \nDISC FIVE: Bat Out of Hell - Meat Loaf\nDISC SIX: The Island - Paul Brady\nDISC SEVEN: Sun Comes Up, It's Tuesday Morning - Cowboy Junkies\nDISC EIGHT: Isn’t it a Pity - Nina Simone\nBOOK CHOICE: Moby Dick by Herman Melville\nLUXURY ITEM: Fishing tackle\nCASTAWAY'S FAVOURITE: Aqaba - June Tabor  \nPresenter:  Lauren Laverne\nProducer:  Paula McGinley","thumbnail":"http://open.live.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/6/redir/version/2.0/mediaset/audio-nondrm-download-rss/proto/http/vpid/p0nzwgj1.mp3","duration":"3053","audioUrl":"http://open.live.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/6/redir/version/2.0/mediaset/audio-nondrm-download-rss/proto/http/vpid/p0nzwgj1.mp3"},{"source":{"name":"Planet Money","type":"audio","category":"business"},"title":"Who decides what big box sells?

This new China Shock could be even more destabilizing. China now dominates advanced manufacturing: electric vehicles, batteries, solar panels. It’s outcompeting nearly all high-end manufacturing around the world, and other countries are just starting to feel the pain. And China isn’t slowing down. It’s moving into software, too. Its frontier A.I. models are neck and neck with American ones.\nChina’s success poses a serious threat to the economies and domestic politics of countries around the world. So what should those countries do about it? \nSetser is a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations.He served in top trade and economic roles in the Biden and Obama administrations.

However, some of the most consequential risks lie further afield, in domains where a mistake is measured in human lives. Advanced models can now offer step-by-step guidance toward chemical and biological weapons, and militaries are already folding AI into targeting and battlefield assessments. These are no longer speculative fears confined to the AI doomer crowd. They are documented in red team disclosures, government legislation, and events unfolding on real battlefields.\nGordon M. Goldstein is an adjunct senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, where he focuses on the convergence of technology and US foreign policy. He previously spent nearly a decade as a managing director at Silver Lake, and he is the author of Lessons In Disaster: McGeorge Bundy and the Path to War in Vietnam, which is a study of national security strategy and White House decision-making. In this episode, Gordon joins Kevin Ball to discuss the credibility of AI-enabled chemical and biological weapon threats, the ad hoc safeguards meant to contain them, and the rise of autonomous warfare and its implications for human control and nuclear deterrence.

His third choice, first released in November 2014, is the Egyptian pharaoh Hatshepsut, whose name means 'foremost of noble ladies'. She ruled Egypt from about 1479 - 1458 BC and some scholars argue that she was one of the most successful and influential pharaohs. When she came to the throne, Egypt was still recovering from a period of turbulence known as the Second Intermediate Period a few generations earlier. Hatshepsut reasserted Egyptian power by building up international trade and commissioned buildings considered masterpieces of Egyptian architecture. She also made significant changes to the ideology surrounding the pharaoh and the gods. However, following her death, her name was erased from the records and left out of ancient lists of Egyptian kings.\nWith:\nElizabeth Frood\nAssociate Professor of Egyptology at the University of Oxford\nKate Spence\nLecturer in Egyptian Archaeology at the University of Cambridge\nCampbell Price\nCurator of Egypt and Sudan at The Manchester Museum\nProducer: Victoria Brignell\nReading list:\nElizabeth Blyth, Karnak: Evolution of a Temple (Routledge, 2006)\nKara Cooney, The Woman Who Would Be King (Crown, 2014)\nJosé M.

As LLMs have matured, they have opened up a fundamentally different approach, where a system can reason about content the way it reasons about language. However, that power comes with a fresh set of engineering challenges around cost, scale, and evaluation.\nLinkedIn recently rebuilt its news feed to treat content recommendation as a sequence modeling problem. The general approach is to predict what a user will want next, much like an LLM predicts the next token in a sentence.\nTim Jurka has worked at LinkedIn for 13 years and is currently a VP of Engineering. In this episode, Tim joins Matt Merrill to discuss how LinkedIn re-engineered its feed, how the team combines LLMs with traditional signals, managing inference costs at massive scale, steering content quality using natural language policies, and more.\nSponsorship inquiries:\nsponsor@softwareengineeringdaily.com\n\nThe post How LLMs Are Reshaping Recommendation Systems appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.","thumbnail":"https://media.transistor.fm/c1692d22/f857d353.mp3","duration":"47:51","audioUrl":"https://media.transistor.fm/c1692d22/f857d353.mp3"},{"source":{"name":"The Ezra Klein Show","type":"audio","category":"news"},"title":"The A.I.s Are Already Out of Control","link":"https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/14/opinion/ezra-klein-podcast-helen-toner.html","pubDate":"Tue, 18 Aug 2026 09:00:00 +0000","timestamp":1787043600000,"content":"We are living in the world we were warned about.

Through thousands of case-by-case acts, they freed up land for investment, consolidated inefficient farm ownership, and enabled a boom in privately-built roads, canals, and navigable rivers that created national markets. Along the way you'll learn why roads once moved at 1.5 miles per hour, and how these centuries-old lessons about buying off holdouts might solve today's housing and infrastructure gridlock.","thumbnail":"https://cdn.simplecast.com/media/audio/transcoded/14ea66f7-768f-433c-bff1-0b34ab517bf9/6fdba516-8381-43b0-b29f-59d05512b693/episodes/audio/group/4cba19de-3e8f-45be-a365-7d6be2966729/group-item/d27b422a-ecf8-48cf-ab0e-9817cb5e44dd/128_default_tc.mp3?aid=rss_feed&feed=wgl4xEgL","duration":"01:13:36","audioUrl":"https://cdn.simplecast.com/media/audio/transcoded/14ea66f7-768f-433c-bff1-0b34ab517bf9/6fdba516-8381-43b0-b29f-59d05512b693/episodes/audio/group/4cba19de-3e8f-45be-a365-7d6be2966729/group-item/d27b422a-ecf8-48cf-ab0e-9817cb5e44dd/128_default_tc.mp3?aid=rss_feed&feed=wgl4xEgL"},{"source":{"name":"Shop Talk Show","type":"audio","category":"tech"},"title":"728: BIMI, Good Favicon Practice, and CSS @Layer Exploration","link":"https://shoptalkshow.com/728/","pubDate":"Mon, 17 Aug 2026 07:00:22 +0000","timestamp":1786950022000,"content":"Show Description\nHaving type two fun, email branding with BIMI, accessibility details in icons and favicons, using AI as a coding and maintenance partner,  CSS @layer property, design systems, and the economics of fast AI hardware.\nListen on Website\nWatch on YouTube\nLinks\n\nHow and Why to Implement BIMI Selectors - BIMI Group\nYou kinda want an orange favicon. – Chris Coyier\nThinking Horizontally in CSS @layer \nAMD snaps up Toronto chip startup Taalas | Financial Post","thumbnail":"https://cdn.simplecast.com/media/audio/transcoded/2f3c0314-dd01-4f5a-9961-8e71ed7860a7/167887a0-ac00-4cf9-bc69-b5ca845997db/episodes/audio/group/31ce2df1-2090-49c7-b1d8-83f3014faf92/group-item/4c5ca39e-a556-4fbd-8662-17b164b35b8c/128_default_tc.mp3?nocache","duration":"01:01:09","audioUrl":"https://cdn.simplecast.com/media/audio/transcoded/2f3c0314-dd01-4f5a-9961-8e71ed7860a7/167887a0-ac00-4cf9-bc69-b5ca845997db/episodes/audio/group/31ce2df1-2090-49c7-b1d8-83f3014faf92/group-item/4c5ca39e-a556-4fbd-8662-17b164b35b8c/128_default_tc.mp3?nocache"},{"source":{"name":"This American Life","type":"audio","category":"culture"},"title":"895: Label Maker!","link":"https://www.thisamericanlife.org/895/label-maker","pubDate":"Sun, 16 Aug 2026 20:00:00 -0400","timestamp":1786924800000,"content":"Labels are powerful.

Her mother was convinced that she was going to be a star and took her to perform in smoky clubs.    \nOff stage, all was not well in the family home and Shania grew up in a turbulent household where there was much fighting.

People are looking for an alternative vision — an approach to American power in the world that would feel more moral and just, after the failures of President Biden, and the wrecking ball President Trump has taken to international rules and norms.\nThe answer many on the left are coming to is powerfully simple: international law. America could just start following the rules that we helped write. Is that possible? Is that enough? What would that even look like?\nTo talk through these questions, I invited Linda Kinstler on the show. She’s a member of the Society of Fellows at Harvard, a contributing writer at The New York Times Magazine, and the author of “Come to This Court and Cry: How the Holocaust Ends.” She’s done some incredible writing and reporting on whether what we’re watching is the death of international law. In this conversation, we talk about the Biden administration’s failures to live up to the principles it set for itself, the Trump administration’s campaign to destroy the International Criminal Court and what it would take to reinvigorate international law.\nMentioned:\n“Are we witnessing the death of international law?” by Linda Kinstler\n“Abdul El-Sayed, U.S. Senate candidate, on AIPAC and Israel” by Detroit Free Press Opinion Staff\nBook Recommendations:\nThe Divided City by Nicole Loraux\nCrossing the Red Line by Akbar Shahid Ahmed\nUnder Water by Tara Menon\nThoughts?

Now a growing share of production code is generated by LLMs with little human review. Because that code is not fully trusted, it increasingly runs in isolated, sandboxed environments. Meanwhile, AI agents are starting to operate infrastructure directly, by spinning services up and tearing them down on their own. Together these shifts raise the question of whether the cloud needs to be rebuilt for machine operators rather than humans.\nRender is a cloud platform designed for application deployment, by handling scaling, self-healing, and security to reduce operations work. Render has been adapting to the AI era by building tools that let agents deploy and debug applications directly, with added guardrails and security.\nAnurag Goel is the founder and CEO of Render. In this episode, Anurag joins Sean Falconer to discuss why so many teams end up rebuilding the same infrastructure on top of Kubernetes, what changes when AI agents become first-class users of infrastructure and the guardrails that shift demands, and why the economics of AI are pushing developers toward higher-level platforms that trade fine-grained control for speed and safety.\nSponsorship inquiries:\nsponsor@softwareengineeringdaily.com\nThe post Rebuilding the Cloud for AI Agent Code appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.","thumbnail":"https://media.transistor.fm/1b7d1025/1dc73aaa.mp3","duration":"49:57","audioUrl":"https://media.transistor.fm/1b7d1025/1dc73aaa.mp3"},{"source":{"name":"In Our Time","type":"audio","category":"education"},"title":"Archive: Coffee","link":"http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0nx0z4j","pubDate":"Thu, 13 Aug 2026 08:45:00 +0000","timestamp":1786610700000,"content":"Misha Glenny delves in to the In Our Time archive to select ten episodes for listeners to revisit. His second choice, first released in December 2019, is the history and social impact of coffee. From its origins in Ethiopia, coffea arabica spread through the Ottoman Empire before reaching Western Europe where, in the 17th century, coffee houses were becoming established. There, caffeinated customers stayed awake for longer and were more animated, and this helped to spread ideas and influence culture. Coffee became a colonial product, grown by slaves or indentured labour, with coffea robusta replacing arabica where disease had struck, and was traded extensively by the Dutch and French empires; by the 19th century, Brazil had developed into a major coffee producer, meeting demand in the USA that had grown on the waggon trails.\nWith\nJudith Hawley\nProfessor of 18th Century Literature at Royal Holloway, University of London\nMarkman Ellis\nProfessor of 18th Century Studies at Queen Mary University of London\nAnd\nJonathan Morris\nProfessor in Modern History at the University of Hertfordshire\nProducer: Simon Tillotson\nReading list:\nBrian Cowan, The Social Life of Coffee: The Emergence of the British Coffeehouse (Yale University Press, 2005)\nBenoit Daviron and Stefano Ponte, The Coffee Paradox: Global Markets, Commodity Trade and the Elusive Promise of Development (Zed Books, 2005)\nMarkman Ellis, The Coffee House: A Cultural History (Orion, 2004)\nRalph Hattox, Coffee and Coffeehouses: The Origins of a Social Beverage in the Medieval Near East (University of Washington Press, 1985)\nJonathan Morris, Coffee: A Global History (Reaktion, 2018)\nMark Prendergast Uncommon Grounds: The History of Coffee and How It Transformed our World (Basic Books, 2010)\nClaudia Roden, Coffee (Faber, 1977)\nWilliam Clarence Smith and Steven Topik (eds.), The Global Coffee Economy in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, 1500-1989 (Cambridge University Press, 2003)\nWilliam H.

Can we learn from them? \nOver the years, we at Planet Money have checked in on Argentina as it tried to recover from economic collapse in 2001 and 2002, and as inflation shot up and the country defaulted on its debts. This week on our Summer School World Tour, we fly to Buenos Aires, mapping the moves of their economy through the eyes of people who live there – from tango classes and shoe shopping to a Coldplay concert that sparked a special exchange rate. \nWe’ll consider the different attempts from the government to staunch inflation and why they’ve led to so many unintended consequences. But the heart of this week’s trip is the resilience of everyday economic actors, regular people. When the value of your currency is so in flux, average people become monetary contortionists just to navigate work, shopping, saving and to keep small businesses afloat. This adaptability becomes a special kind of skill and wisdom. So, we’re harvesting that everyday economic insight for tips on how we can all face uncertainty a little better. And, to appreciate the high costs of volatility. \nFeatured Episodes:\n\nMessi economics (2022)\nA black market, a currency crisis and a tango competition in Argentina (2023)\nThe high cost of a strong dollar (2022)\n\nFeatured Terms: \n\nVolatility\nInflation expectations\nCapital controls\nAusterity\nSupport:\n\nNPR+ (sponsor-free listening & bonus episodes) \nAnd please click “follow” in your podcast app so you don’t miss an episode.\n\nRead: \n\nOur book: Planet Money: A Guide to the Economic Forces That Shape Your Life (Audiobook here) \nOur weekly longform Planet Money newsletter\nOur weekly Indicator link round-up newsletter\n\nFollow: \n\nInstagram\nTikTok\nYouTube\nFacebook\n\nThis episode of Planet Money Summer School is hosted by Robert Smith.

He’s typically held the role of explaining the right to more liberal audiences, starting as an undergrad, when he was a conservative columnist for The Harvard Crimson. Douthat has also lived through the seismic changes in the media from the both the inside and the outside: He’s made his career at legacy media institutions, but I first got to know him – and spar with him – as an early-2000s blogger (and I have the 20-year-old Bloggingheads.tv clips to prove it).\nSo what does Douthat make of the transformations he’s lived through? How did blogging change journalism? How did a Republican Party powered by evangelical Christians become a political party dominated by Catholics and pagans?

Along the way he offers sharp diagnoses of Congress's abdication of responsibility, the crisis inside American universities, and a republic distracted by the \"digital casino\" in its pocket.

He read history at St Peter’s College, Oxford, where he met his future wife, Claire. After graduating, he found a role working for a heritage centre and fell in love with the charity sector, moving to the Samaritans. His experiences taking calls from those struggling with their mental health awakened a passion for working in the mental health sector.\nIn 2006 he moved Mind, where he became CEO. He led a fifteen-year campaign that helped to change legislation, and the national conversation around mental health. For the past few years, he has campaigned for older people as Chief Executive at Age UK, and encouraged the public to prepare and plan for a happier, healthier later life.  \nPaul lost his wife, Claire, to cancer in 2019.

In the episode, Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the life and times of Behn, who made her name and her living as a playwright, poet and writer of fiction during the Restoration. Virginia Woolf wrote of her: 'All women together, ought to let flowers fall upon the grave of Aphra Behn... for it was she who earned them the right to speak their minds'. Behn may well have spent some of her early life in Surinam, the setting for her novel Oroonoko, and there are records of her working in the Netherlands as a spy for Charles II. She was loyal to the Stuart kings and refused to write a poem on the coronation of William of Orange. She was regarded as an important writer in her lifetime and inspired others to write but fell out of favour for two centuries after her death when her work was seen as too bawdy, the product of a disreputable age.\nWith \nJanet Todd\nFormer President of Lucy Cavendish College, Cambridge University\nRos Ballaster\nProfessor of 18th Century Literature at Mansfield College, University of Oxford\nand\nClaire Bowditch \nPost-doctoral Research Associate in English and Drama at Loughborough University \n \nProducer: Simon Tillotson. \n \nReading list: \n \nKate Aughterson, Aphra Behn: The Comedies (Palgrave Macmillan, 2003) \n \nRos Ballaster, Seductive Forms: Women’s Amatory Fiction 1684-1740 (Oxford Clarendon Press, 1991) \n \nAphra Behn (ed.
