This Week In Startups is made possible by: Lightfield https://lightfield.app Northwest Registered Agent https://www.northwestregisteredagent.com/twistdomain Rippling https://Rippling.ai/twist   Today's show: *Bill Gates dropped a 6,000 word warning: AI will be "the greatest equalizer ever invented, or the worst sort of injustice." The Microsoft icon has an AI agenda for the US: new national institutions, AI use taxes, and jobs legally reserved for humans only. Our VC roundtable guests — Sheel Mohnot (Better Tomorrow Ventures), Dave McClure (Practical Venture Capital), and Hussein Kanji — push back hard. Is taxing profits a better fix for AI taking jobs than taxing the tokens themselves? PLUS: Meta's $17B kids safety settlement… does it go far enough? Why does Stripe want OpenRouter? A peek at the VC's actual portfolio mark-ups. AND begun, the AI agent wars have. Our panel chooses between OpenClaw, Instinct, and Grok Bot.

Edtech Throwdown Episode 221: 10 Tools for Specialized AI and ProductivityWelcome to the EdTech Throwdown. This is Episode 221 called 10 Tools for Specialized AI and Productivity. In this episode we'll be talking edtech tools as we bring you a list of some atypical AI platforms that might not otherwise come up for educators. This is another episode you don't want to miss. Check it out.Segment 1:Happy August, happy end of summer breakWe're almost fully re-charged and starting to think about things like productivity againSegment 2:Nick: abacus.ai: Abacus.AI is the world's first AI super-assistant tailored for enterprises and professionals. We offer two products: ChatLLM for professionals and small teams and Abacus.AI Enterprise for enterprises and companies. ChatLLM is a multi-modal, multi-device super-assistant that can handle many tasks and completely transform your life.

Our AI engineer can build AI Workflows and chatbots to automate critical processes. Our Enterprise product comes with single sign-on, multiple deployment options and checks all the security and compliance boxes.Guise:studley.aiWhy:Specialized AI platforms designed for more complex, data-heavy, or professional-grade automation and modeling.Nick: openalternative.co: What is the difference between open source and proprietary? Proprietary AI Tools: These are "closed-source" models developed and owned by specific companies (e.g., OpenAI's GPT-4/5, Google's Gemini, Anthropic's Claude). You typically access them via an API or a web interface. The underlying code, training data, and exact model weights are a "black box" hidden from the public. Open-Source (Open-Weight) AI Tools: These are models whose code and weights are publicly shared (e.g., Meta's Llama series, Mistral, Qwen, and DeepSeek). Anyone can download them, look under the hood, modify them, and run them on their own hardware or private cloud. Guise: The Most Comprehensive List of FREE Online Tools for Teachers Why:Both promote open-source ethics, whether finding alternatives to paid software or using privacy-focused media downloaders.Nick: smart.servier.comGuise: runable.comWhy:High-level technical resources; one offers medical illustrations, while the other focuses on executable code environments.Nick:Workout.coolGuise: KouponWhy:Personal optimization tools—one for physical fitness routines and the other for optimizing shopping/savings.Nick: Internet Archive:https://web.archive.org/Guise: Same.newWhy:Part of the ".new" domain movement, providing instant, one-click access to start a new coding or collaborative project.Edtech Throwdown: Vote on twitter @edtechthrowdown and under the pinned post on the profile.Segment 3: Where to Find EdTech ThrowdownDo us a few favors:Subscribe to the Edtech Throwdown PodcastApple PodcastsSpotifyAmazon PodcastsStitcher YouTube Twitter FacebookWrite us an Apple Podcast Review!Tell your friends aboutwww.edtechthrowdown.comTell your friends about the Teach Better Podcast NetworkSubscribe to our Podcast Channels and SocialsApple PodcastsSpotify YouTube Twitter (@edtechthrowdown)FacebookInstagramConnect with us on Social MediaGuise's Social MediaTwitter(@guisegotteched)LinkedInNick's Social...

Input geben - Networking starten!Buchhaltung ist genau dann spannend, wenn sie plötzlich leise wird: weniger Nachfragen, weniger Hin und Her, weniger Chaos rund um Belege. Wir sprechen mit Matthias Zwingli, Gründer von TreuFlow, darüber, warum künstliche Intelligenz in der Treuhand nicht als „neues Tool“ gewinnt, sondern als unsichtbare Verstärkung bestehender Systeme. Statt alles zu ersetzen, dockt TreuFlow an Abacus, Bexio, Topal und andere Buchhaltungssoftware an und automatisiert die Arbeit dort, wo sie wirklich anfällt.Gemeinsam zerlegen wir den Weg vom Beleg bis zum Buchungssatz: Quittung fotografieren, Daten auslesen, Plausibilitätschecks, saubere Übergabe, verknüpfte Dokumente und am Ende die Basis für Mehrwertsteuerabrechnung und Jahresabschluss. Dabei wird klar: Die Magie ist selten „das beste Modell“, sondern ein durchdachter Workflow. Wir sprechen auch offen über den typischen KI-Flickenteppich aus ChatGPT-Uploads, Excel-Exporten und Importproblemen und warum das als Test taugt, aber nicht als skalierbarer Prozess.Zum Schluss geht es um die Zukunft der Treuhandbranche: Welche Standardprozesse lassen sich mit KI automatisieren, warum der Mensch im Loop bleibt und weshalb man bei sensiblen Themen wie Steuern und Prüfungen lieber einen Treuhand-Experten als einen Chatbot an der Seite hat. Wenn dich KI in Buchhaltung, Treuhand, Prozessautomatisierung, Datenschutz Schweiz und praktische Integrationen per API interessieren, bekommst du hier konkrete Einblicke und klare Leitplanken.

Chris and Chris sit down with Alexander Payne & Stephen Sihelnik to dissect the massive economic shifts defining mid-2026. We kick off with a deep-dive market analysis into the highly anticipated SpaceX IPO, the strategic implications of Elon Musk acquiring the Cursor AI platform, and how global tech infrastructure is shifting under the current political landscape.The panel also exposes the bizarre world of elite wealth—from the staggering economics of international Saudi yacht parties and the geopolitical absurdity of attempting to purchase Greenland, to tech billionaire Bryan Johnson's extreme anti-aging biohacking routines. Faga also reflects on his firsthand experiences during the original Occupy Wall Street protests, connecting the dots to legendary financial deep-dives found on early 4chan threads and the infamous Abacus banking scandal.Finally, we transition to sports and culture. The guys talk New York Knicks chemistry, break down Victor Wembanyama's court reactions, and address the massive literacy crisis facing Gen Z as online spaces shift away from reading toward algorithmic video platforms.Drop a comment below: Is the SpaceX IPO a game-changer or a massive corporate hype cycle?

Misha Glenny and guests discuss the group which came to be known as the Levellers and emerged during what would become arguably one of the bloodiest and most turbulent periods of English history. After the First English Civil War, the Levellers started calling for reforms to achieve legal and social equality. They pushed for a new constitution, extended franchise, popular sovereignty, and religious toleration. To do this, the Levellers pioneered the use of pamphlets and petitions, as well as taking to the streets in their thousands to demonstrate wearing their signature sea-green ribbons and sprigs of rosemary. To some they were radical, and to others not radical enough. Though the Leveller movement itself may have been short-lived, the arguments that they made have both inspired and challenged generations since.WithTeresa Bejan Professor of Political Theory and Fellow of Oriel College, University of OxfordTed Vallance Professor of History and Dean of Research and Doctoral Study at the University of RoehamptonAndClare Jackson Honorary Professor of Early Modern History and Walter Grant Scott Fellow in History at Trinity Hall, University of CambridgeProducer: Martha OwenReading list:Teresa M.

Abacus Global Management CEO Jay Jackson joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the launch of LifeARC™, the company's proprietary AI-powered lifespan modeling platform, and how it is being integrated into its broader wealth management strategy. Jackson explained that LifeARC™ leverages more than 20 years of proprietary data collected by Abacus to create personalized lifespan projections based on an individual's medical history, health conditions, medications, genetics, and biometrics. Unlike traditional actuarial tables or population-based estimates, the platform continuously updates as a person's health profile changes, providing a dynamic model of expected longevity. The personalized lifespan model is designed to help improve financial planning by answering critical questions around retirement income, portfolio sustainability, healthcare costs, wealth preservation, and legacy planning. According to Jackson, understanding not just how much wealth a client has, but how long that wealth may need to last, can significantly improve financial decision-making. The discussion also highlighted Abacus's recent investment of more than $50 million in wealth management firm Manning & Napier, which manages approximately $18 billion in assets and serves more than 3,400 clients. Jackson said the investment was driven by a strategic objective to bring LifeARC™ directly into client portfolios and financial planning conversations. By partnering with an established advisory platform, Abacus believes it can accelerate adoption of its technology while providing advisors with a unique tool that differentiates their services. Jackson noted that while many firms focus on projecting investment returns, LifeARC™ adds a new dimension by helping advisors estimate how long client assets may need to support retirement and future healthcare needs. The Manning & Napier partnership represents the first step in a broader strategy to expand LifeARC™ across the wealth management industry. Jackson indicated that discussions with other advisory firms are already underway as Abacus looks to establish lifespan-based financial planning as a new standard within the sector. Management believes the combination of artificial intelligence, proprietary health data, and financial planning expertise creates a powerful competitive advantage and positions LifeARC™ as a transformative tool for retirement and wealth management planning. #proactiveinvestors #abacusglobalmanagement #nasdaq #abl #EarningsBeat #FinancialGrowth #LifeSettlements #LifeARC #ArtificialIntelligence #WealthManagement #FinancialPlanning #Fintech #RetirementPlanning #AIFinance #ManningAndNapier #WealthTech

As Adam Silver calls for the NBA's Kawhi Leonard probe to wrap up and Aspiration's co-founder gets 14 years behind bars, Pablo investigates how Steve Ballmer covered his tracks on a side deal of his own — and with the SEC on the case.

Those with moderate or severe disease may have greater odds of progression. Both the SII and INFLA-scores for systemic inflammation demonstrated significant, dose-dependent relationships with increased incidence of cataract formation, POAG, AMD, and DR, and were associated with retinal thinning on OCT.Intravitreal injections of KIO-301, a photoswitch molecule designed to make surviving retinal ganglion cells responsive to light in retinitis pigmentosa, demonstrate a favorable safety profile and early signs of functional vision improvement regardless of underlying gene mutation in the ABACUS-1 trial. 

Avui, a l'InfoCopeLleida, parlarem d'una setmana on la intel·ligència artificial ja no és només una eina curiosa, sinó un tema de regulació, negoci, debat científic i fins i tot robòtica. Començarem amb la nova llei aprovada pel Govern espanyol per frenar els mals usos de la IA, amb multes que poden arribar fins als 35 milions d'euros. També descobrirem Abacus.ai, una plataforma que vol convertir la IA en un assistent capaç de crear, automatitzar i treballar per nosaltres. I seguirem amb un dels grans debats del moment: la intel·ligència artificial general, l'AGI. Alguns experts diuen que ja és aquí, altres demanen prudència, i avui en David ens portarà dades concretes per posar-hi una mica de llum. També parlarem de robots humanoides que ja corren mitges maratons, de la decisió de la Xina d'identificar-los amb un codi únic, i acabarem amb un cas molt terrenal: Ticketmaster, acusada als Estats Units de funcionar com un monopoli que cobra massa als usuaris.  IA, robots, lleis i poder tecnològic… avui tenim tertúlia potent.Efeméride:El 27 de mayo de 2003, un joven desarrollador llamado Matt Mullenweg presentó oficialmente WordPress.  Una sencilla herramienta para crear blogs, terminó convirtiéndose en una revolución digital. En una época donde publicar en internet requería conocimientos técnicos, WordPress democratizó la web: cualquiera podía crear, compartir y construir su espacio online. Veintitrés años después, WordPress no solo sigue vivo… domina internet. Desde pequeños blogs personales hasta grandes medios de comunicación y tiendas online, más del 40% de las webs del mundo funcionan hoy con este sistema. Su éxito se basa en el princio basico de la creacion de internet: software libre, comunidad global y evolución constante. Lo que nació como una plataforma para bloggers, hoy es el motor de millones de proyectos digitales. Y así cerramos nuestra efeméride tecnológica de hoy… dando un vistazo al pasado para entender el presente y mirar hacia el futuro.

This one's for all you autodidacts: if you have questions about any aspect of Greco-Roman antiquity, have trouble distinguishing between Phylas and Phrynichus, and are not sure where to turn when you are tearing through an ancient text and get stumped by some unfamiliar term, we've got you covered. This week Jeff and Dave walk us through the fascinating landscape of the most famous classical encyclopedias: Pauly Wissowa, Der Kleine Pauly, Der Neue Pauly, the CHCL (and how it differs from the CAH), and of course, the master map of classical scholarship, L'Année philologique. And in the second half, we explore the history and usefulness of that great granddaddy of them all, the Oxford Classical Dictionary, starting with the 1st ed. and extending to the 4th, digital form it now inhabits. So from Abacus to Zosimus, from Nichomachus to ancient gesturing, the Nerd is strong in this one. And, don't miss FlexCalls.com.

While there are thousands of RIAs, only a small portion have truly differentiated their businesses and their "why" in a way that allows them to create a unique brand identity. Abacus Wealth Partners, led by CEO Neela Hummel, has grown to over $3 billion in AUM by ensuring the firm - no matter how large it becomes - stays true to its core values and identity. Abacus was the first certified B-Corp in financial services, and Neela shares with Emigrant's Mark Bruno how this has allowed the firm to speak directly to a targeted segment of investors - and employees - and "differentiate by design."

Abacus Global Management is entering a new chapter with its move to the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker ABX. Chairman and CEO Jay Jackson goes Inside the ICE House to unpack the strategy behind the listing and rebrand, and how Abacus' data-driven, vertically integrated model sets it apart. He also shares how proprietary data and technology are positioning the firm for its next phase of growth.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss Korea's brief but significant period as an empire as it moved from the 500-year-old dynastic Joseon monarchy towards modernity. It was in October 1897 that King Gojong declared himself Emperor, seizing his chance when the once-dominant China lost to Japan in the First Sino-Japanese War. The king wanted to have the same status as the neighbouring Russian, Chinese and Japanese Emperors, to shore up a bid for Korean independence and sovereignty when the world's major powers either wanted to open Korea up to trade or to colonise it. The Korean Empire lasted only thirteen years, yet it was a time of great transformation for this state and the whole region with lasting consequences in the next century…With Nuri Kim Associate Professor in Korean Studies at the faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Cambridge and Fellow of Wolfson CollegeHolly Stephens Lecturer in Japanese and Korean Studies at the University of EdinburghAnd Derek Kramer Lecturer in Korean Studies at the University of SheffieldProducer: Simon TillotsonReading list:Isabella Bird Bishop, Korea and her Neighbors: A Narrative of Travel, With an Account of the Recent Vicissitudes and Present Position of the Country (first published 1898; Forgotten Books, 2019)Vipan Chandra, Imperialism, Resistance and Reform in Late Nineteenth-Century Korea: Enlightenment and the Independence Club (University of California, Institute of East Asian Studies, 1988)Peter Duus, The Abacus and the Sword: The Japanese Penetration of Korea, 1859-1910 (University of California Press, 1995)Carter J.
