Reza brings wisdom, candor, and hard-earned perspective — and we're thrilled to share it.Reza Satchu is a renowned Canadian entrepreneur, investor, and educator whose career exemplifies innovation, resilience, and impact.

Today's Headlines: President Trump announced a plan to send weapons to Ukraine via NATO and threatened 100% tariffs on Russia—or “secondary tariffs” on countries buying Russian oil—if a ceasefire isn't reached in 50 days. Meanwhile, Elon Musk's xAI secured a $200M Defense Department contract days after Grok declared itself “MechaHitler” and spewed antisemitic content. The Supreme Court paused an order blocking 1,400 layoffs at the Education Department, just as 24 states and D.C. sued the Trump administration over $7B in frozen education funds. The administration is also appealing a court order banning immigration arrests without probable cause, even as ICE agents express deep dissatisfaction with the politically driven deportation focus. In Congress, Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez proposed giving the ethics office power to review lawmakers' cognitive fitness. And in New York, Andrew Cuomo—undeterred by his primary loss—launched an independent bid for mayor, joining a crowded field for November's ballot.

Pendant que les projecteurs sont braqués sur Apple Intelligence, la nouvelle ambition IA de Cupertino mêlant traitement local et cloud, la firme à la pomme avance sur un autre front, plus discret mais tout aussi stratégique : celui de la recherche ouverte et du rapprochement avec l'écosystème chinois.Dernière annonce en date, la publication sur la plateforme Hugging Face d'un modèle de langage baptisé DiffuCode-7B-cpGRPO, un outil conçu pour… programmer. Mais attention, ici, Apple sort des sentiers battus. Contrairement à la majorité des modèles génératifs classiques qui écrivent du code ligne par ligne, ce modèle mise sur la diffusion, une technique inspirée des générateurs d'images comme Stable Diffusion. Concrètement, le modèle part d'un squelette de code flou ou bruité, qu'il affine en plusieurs étapes, en tenant compte de l'ensemble du projet. Résultat : une génération potentiellement plus rapide et surtout plus cohérente sur des blocs entiers.Mais le plus intéressant, ce n'est pas la méthode. C'est l'origine. Car Apple ne part pas de zéro. Le modèle repose sur Qwen2.5-7B, un modèle open-source développé par le géant chinois Alibaba. Les ingénieurs d'Apple ont d'abord repris une version adaptée à la programmation, avant d'y greffer leur propre décodeur basé sur la diffusion et de le réentraîner à leur sauce. Une démarche bien loin de l'image d'Apple tout-puissant construisant chaque brique en interne. Ce choix d'Alibaba n'est pas anodin. Pour déployer Apple Intelligence en Chine, la firme américaine doit se plier aux réglementations locales, qui imposent l'utilisation de modèles approuvés par Pékin. Résultat : un partenariat stratégique avec Alibaba, qui adapte ses modèles pour tourner efficacement sur les puces Apple Silicon via le framework MLX.Et ce n'est pas tout : Apple a aussi regardé du côté de DeepSeek, une startup chinoise en pleine ascension. Si aucun accord n'a été signé, Tim Cook a salué la qualité de leurs modèles, preuve d'une veille technologique active et d'une reconnaissance de la montée en puissance de la Chine dans le domaine de l'IA. Apple, longtemps réputée pour son écosystème fermé, change de méthode. En s'appuyant sur des fondations open-source venues d'ailleurs, la firme montre qu'à l'heure de l'IA, même les géants ne peuvent plus avancer seuls. Hébergé par Acast.

Trump is trapping the Democrats with their predictions and lies about his policies, and his policy results.According to one expert, Trump's handling of China has the Saudis mad at China. The Arabs are mad at them as well. Next, Trump is winning the argument on illegals. His policies will bring $150.7B (cost of illegals in 2023) back into the treasury. That's $1156 per taxpayer. Almost $16T over a decade, and that doesn't include all the savings.Trump confounds the “experts”. And he's redefining "expert" to its previous meaning. Their power and influence has traditionally played an important role in society – but this authority is increasingly being questioned from many sides.The "experts'" opinions are being brought down by Trump's results. Take the 14B Medicare fraud takedown. Something that is only at its infancy.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Highlights:- James Webb Space Telescope's First Exoplanet Discovery: In this episode, we celebrate a monumental achievement by the James Webb Space Telescope as it successfully images its first exoplanet, TWA 7B. This discovery, detailed in the journal Nature, showcases Webb's advanced capabilities in probing the atmospheres of alien worlds, revealing a young planetary system hidden within a swirling disc of dust and debris.- Axiom Space's Ax-4 Mission: We discuss the historic docking of Axiom Space's Ax-4 mission with the International Space Station, marking a significant milestone for private spaceflight. Commanded by former NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson, this mission features an international crew and over 60 planned science experiments, setting a new record for Axiom missions.- Fast Radio Burst Traced to NASA Satellite: A surprising development in astronomy as scientists trace a fast radio burst back to NASA's defunct Relay 2 satellite. This unexpected source challenges previous assumptions about these mysterious signals and opens new avenues for studying cosmic events and monitoring defunct satellites in Earth's orbit.- SpaceX's Rebuilding Efforts: We delve into SpaceX's extensive rebuilding efforts following an anomaly during a static fire test of Starship 36. Despite significant damage at their Massey test stand, SpaceX remains optimistic about their progress on new infrastructure and plans for future launches.- Nicer X-Ray Telescope Update: NASA engineers are working to resolve issues with the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (Nicer) X-ray telescope, which has temporarily halted its tracking capabilities. We explore the telescope's crucial role in studying neutron stars and other extreme cosmic phenomena, despite its operational challenges.For more cosmic updates, visit our website at astronomydaily.io.

Shashank Sripada merges institutional rigor with systemic change. After managing $7B+ in assets and advising the White House, he co-founded Gaia to prove decentralized models can scale equitably. Gaia aims to empower anyone—from individual knowledge workers to domain experts—to build, launch, scale, and monetize their own AI agents. Why you should listen Gaia aims to empower anyone—from individual knowledge workers to domain experts—to build, launch, scale, and monetize their own AI agents. Each agent runs as a Gaia “node,” a lightweight, sandboxed runtime powered by technologies like WasmEdge, fine‑tuned open‑source LLMs, embedding models, vector databases, prompt management, a plugin system, and open APIs. This stack can be deployed anywhere (personal devices, cloud, edge), enabling agents that reflect the creator's own style, knowledge, values, and expertise. Unlike closed‑box SaaS solutions (e.g., GPT‑4), Gaia nodes enable deep customization via fine‑tuning, RAG‑enhanced prompts, schema‑enforced outputs, and domain‑specific knowledge embeddings. This reduces hallucinations, cuts costs, and maintains data privacy. Users can build agents that speak and think like them, tailored to specific domains—far beyond generic LLM capabilities—and can interconnect to ingest external tools, memory systems, or APIs seamlessly.

A report from Senator Bernie Sanders found that Trump officials cut $2.7B in NIH funding in the first three months of 2025, including a 31 percent cut to cancer research.

Erik and Kyle return to their old pal Steven Moffat for a pair of stories smack in the middle of the muddy series 7B, "The Snowmen" the only mid-series Christmas special, and "The Bells of Saint John" which officially introduced Clara Oswald Prime. Do these stories work? Do we like them? Why is Clara the best and people need to accept it?

Joe Fairless, Co-founder of Ashcroft Capital, manages 2.7B dollars in apt communities, founder of the longest-running daily real estate podcast, and has a mantra live to give. Top 3 Value Bombs 1. The key to successfully shift from active to passive wealth is to leverage partnership. Find the right partners that are doing the things that can help you create and grow your wealth. 2. Rethinking time and money starts with how you value your time as much or more than you value your money. You will then be able to flip the script on your processes and be more focused on passive income. 3. Time is the most precious resource we have and as we are actively building our business, it is important to be mindful of the time we are investing into and to also have something working on the side to help us create passive income while were building the active income.

Shares of AMD Inc. (AMD) rise after a top and bottom-line beat in its 1Q earnings report. George Tsilis joins Caroline Woods with immediate reaction to the release. Ahead of the report, George says AMD's bar was set low with shares down nearly 20% already in 2025. AMD's 2Q revenue guidance range of $7.1B-$7.7B topped Street estimates of $7.2B, and its 1Q Data Center revenue also exceeded analyst expectations. George says investors will be looking for any commentary around tariffs, international markets and any new A.I. products.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

From Utilities to Venture Capital: A Career at the Crossroads of InnovationMatt's career began in the energy sector during a pivotal time of deregulation in California. This early exposure to innovation within legacy industries laid the foundation for a lifelong pursuit: helping large corporations and startups work together to drive transformative change. After 15 years in VC, a stint as an entrepreneur, and a move into corporate venture capital, Matt now leads Syensqo Ventures, a fund backed by one of the world's largest materials science companies.What is Syensqo Ventures?Spun off from Solvay in 2024, Syensqo is a €7B global materials company focused on high-performance, sustainable solutions. Its venture arm—an €80M evergreen fund—invests globally in startups developing advanced materials, often at the intersection of mobility, circularity, bio-based products, and AI-powered materials discovery.Corporate VC with a Strategic EdgeUnlike traditional VCs, Syensqo Ventures looks for strategic alignment. Startups that can benefit from Syensqo's deep material science expertise, infrastructure, or supply chain are most likely to receive investment. “I want to know what Syensqo can do to help accelerate your business,” says Matt.When to Approach Syensqo VenturesThe team invests early—typically at seed or Series A stages—when startups are still figuring out product-market fit and need help with technical validation, de-risking, or market entry. With six team members across the US, Europe, and Asia, they invest globally and often co-invest with financial VCs. They can lead rounds if needed, with typical check sizes ranging from €250K to €3M, and reserves for follow-ons.Key Focus AreasBiomaterials: As demand grows for sustainable consumer products, bio-based inputs are becoming more relevant.Composites & Circular Design: Syensqo is prioritizing innovations that enable lightweight, recyclable, and high-performance materials for aviation, automotive, and consumer goods.AI & Materials Discovery: While AI is lowering the cost of discovery, commercialization still requires partnerships, manufacturing, and distribution—areas where corporates play a key role.Corporate Innovation Isn't a Solo GameMatt emphasizes that innovation doesn't belong solely to startups or corporates—it's a shared journey. Syensqo runs internal R&D, collaborates with universities, and co-develops products with startups. "There's no frontier—just partnerships that accelerate solutions."Circularity by Design: From Targets to ImplementationSyensqo publicly reports on circular sales, using a metric developed with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. This isn't just marketing—it's part of how the company defines and measures sustainability goals across its value chains. For startups, this signals a strong alignment in building products that are recyclable, bio-based, or reduce environmental impact.Regional Insights & Global AmbitionsWhile the team sees startups following similar patterns globally, they tailor their approach by region—with specific networks in Europe, North America, and Asia. They're active co-investors in funds like Sofinnova and IndieBio, particularly in the biotech and advanced materials space.Learn More about Syensqo VenturesWebsite: Syensqo VenturesLinkedIn: Matt Jones – SyensqoCompany LinkedIn: Syensqo Be sure to follow Sesamers on Instagram, LinkedIn, and X for more cool stories from the people we catch during the best Tech events!

Since 2020, financial institutions have faced a perfect storm – rising funding costs, increased delinquencies, and now, a dramatic surge in sophisticated fraud attacks. We're joined on the Banking Transformed podcast by two experts from TransUnion who are at the forefront of understanding and combating these threats: Joshua Turnbull, VP of Card and Banking Strategy, and Craig LaChapelle, VP of Market Development. They'll share insights on why fraud losses are becoming more painful in today's high-cost environment, how fraudsters have adapted their strategies post-pandemic, and most importantly, how financial institutions can build resilience against these evolving threats. Whether you're concerned about the 37% increase in synthetic identities, the fact that 30% of online applications now come from bots, or the alarming spike in early default rates, this conversation will equip you with the knowledge and strategies needed to protect your institution and customers. This episode is sponsored by TransUnion. As part of a global information and insights company, the TransUnion Card and Banking business supports over 5,000 financial institutions in the US — from the largest card issuers and retail banks to community-based institutions and technology-driven card issuers. TransUnion has a world class identity spine – spanning consumer identity and behavior, email, device and calling data – that is recognized as a leader by analysts and trusted by the largest banks to enable their fraud strategies. https://www.transunion.com/extracreditpod?atvy=%7B%22264995%22%3A%22Experience+B%22%7D

A week after OpenAI's o3/o4-mini volleyed with Google's Gemini 2.5 Flash, I sat down with Arvind Jain— ex-Google search luminary, Rubrik co-founder, and now CEO of Glean —just as his company released its agentic reasoning platform and swirled with rumors of a new round at a $7 billion valuation. We open on that whirlwind: why the model race is accelerating, why enterprises still gravitate to closed models, and when open-source variants finally take over. Arvind argues that LLMs should “fade into the background,” leaving application builders to pick the right engine for each task.From there, we trace Glean's three-act arc—enterprise search powered by transformers (2019), retrieval-augmented chat the moment ChatGPT hit, and now agents that have already logged 50 million real actions inside Glean enterprise customers. Arvind lifts the hood on permission-aware ranking, tool-use orchestration, and the routing layer that swaps Gemini for GPT on the fly. Along the way, he answers the hard questions: Do agents really double efficiency? Where's the moat when every startup promises the same? Why are humans still in the review loop, and for how long?The conversation crescendos with a vision of work where every employee is flanked by a team of proactive AI coworkers—all drawing from a horizontal knowledge layer that knows the firm's language better than any newcomer. If you want to know what's actually working with AI in the enterprise, how to build agents that deliver ROI, and what the next era of work will look like, this episode is packed with specifics, technical insights, and bold predictions from one of the sharpest minds in the space.GleanWebsite - https://www.glean.comX/Twitter - https://x.com/gleanaiArvind Jain LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jain-arvindX/Twitter - https://x.com/jainarvindFIRSTMARKWebsite - https://firstmark.comX/Twitter - https://twitter.com/FirstMarkCapMatt Turck (Managing Director)LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/turck/X/Twitter - https://twitter.com/mattturck(00:00) Intro & Glean's $7B valuation rumor (02:01) The AI model explosion: open vs. closed in the enterprise (06:19) Why enterprises choose open source AI (and when) (10:33) The agent era: what are AI agents and why now?

Today's Headlines: Senator Chris Van Hollen revealed new details about Kilmar Abrego Garcia's transfer to a better prison in El Salvador and criticized the Trump administration's misleading photo edits suggesting gang ties. Meanwhile, California sued the administration over sweeping tariffs, and immigration issues escalated—U.S. citizens and refugees are being wrongfully detained or ordered to leave the country, including a New Mexico teen and a Connecticut doctor. The Supreme Court temporarily blocked deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, while also agreeing to hear a case on Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship. Trump is also pushing to reclassify 50,000 federal workers under Schedule F, making them easier to fire, and is seizing control of Penn Station's $7B renovation. On trade, no deals have been finalized despite meetings with global partners, casting doubt on the administration's rushed timeline. Resources/Articles mentioned in this episode: CNN: Sen.
