Add your name and email to our friends of the show list, we'll never share it. Michael #1: PEP 798: Unpacking in Comprehensions After careful deliberation, the Python Steering Council is pleased to accept PEP 798 – Unpacking in Comprehensions. Examples [*it for it in its] # list with the concatenation of iterables in 'its' {*it for it in its} # set with the union of iterables in 'its' {**d for d in dicts} # dict with the combination of dicts in 'dicts' (*it for it in its) # generator of the concatenation of iterables in 'its' Also: The Steering Council is happy to unanimously accept “PEP 810, Explicit lazy imports” Brian #2: Pandas 3.0.0rc0 Pandas 3.0.0 will be released soon, and we're on Release candidate 0 Here's What's new in Pands 3.0.0 Dedicated string data type by default Inferred by default for string data (instead of object dtype) The str dtype can only hold strings (or missing values), in contrast to object dtype. (setitem with non string fails) The missing value sentinel is always NaN (np.nan) and follows the same missing value semantics as the other default dtypes. Copy-on-Write The result of any indexing operation (subsetting a DataFrame or Series in any way, i.e. including accessing a DataFrame column as a Series) or any method returning a new DataFrame or Series, always behaves as if it were a copy in terms of user API. As a consequence, if you want to modify an object (DataFrame or Series), the only way to do this is to directly modify that object itself. pd.col syntax can now be used in DataFrame.assign() and DataFrame.loc() You can now do this: df.assign(c = pd.col('a') + pd.col('b')) New Deprecation Policy Plus more - Michael #3: typos You've heard about codespell … what about typos? VSCode extension and OpenVSX extension. From Sky Kasko: Like codespell, typos checks for known misspellings instead of only allowing words from a dictionary. But typos has some extra features I really appreciate, like finding spelling mistakes inside snake_case or camelCase words. For example, if you have the line: *connecton_string = "sqlite:///my.db"* codespell won't find the misspelling, but typos will. It gave me the output: *error: `connecton` should be `connection`, `connector` ╭▸ ./main.py:1:1 │1 │ connecton_string = "sqlite:///my.db" ╰╴━━━━━━━━━* But the main advantage for me is that typos has an LSP that supports editor integrations like a VS Code extension. As far as I can tell, codespell doesn't support editor integration. (Note that the popular Code Spell Checker VS Code extension is an unrelated project that uses a traditional dictionary approach.) For more on the differences between codespell and typos, here's a comparison table I found in the typos repo: https://github.com/crate-ci/typos/blob/master/docs/comparison.md By the way, though it's not mentioned in the installation instructions, typos is published on PyPI and can be installed with uv tool install typos, for example. That said, I don't bother installing it, I just use the VS Code extension and run it as a pre-commit hook. (By the way, I'm using prek instead of pre-commit now; thanks for the tip on episode #448!) It looks like typos also publishes a GitHub action, though I haven't used it. Brian #4: A couple testing topics slowlify suggested by Brian Skinn Simulate slow, overloaded, or resource-constrained machines to reproduce CI failures and hunt flaky tests. Requires Linux with cgroups v2 Why your mock breaks later Ned Badthelder Ned's taught us before to “Mock where the object is used, not where it's defined.” To be more explicit, but probably more confusing to mock-newbies, “don't mock things that get imported, mock the object in the file it got imported to.” See? That's probably worse. Anyway, read Ned's post. If my project myproduct has user.py that uses the system builtin open() and we want to patch it: DONT DO THIS: @patch("builtins.open") This patches open() for the whole system DO THIS: @patch("myproduct.user.open") This patches open() for just the user.py file, which is what we want Apparently this issue is common and is mucking up using coverage.py Extras Brian: The Rise and Rise of FastAPI - mini documentary “Building on Lean” chapter of LeanTDD is out The next chapter I'm working on is “Finding Waste in TDD” Notes to delete before end of show: I'm not on track for an end of year completion of the first pass, so pushing goal to 1/31/26 As requested by a reader, I'm releasing both the full-so-far versions and most-recent-chapter Michael: My Vanishing Gradient's episode is out Django 6 is out Joke: tabloid - A minimal programming language inspired by clickbait headlines
Arto Minasyan is the Co-founder and President of Krisp, a company that provides AI-powered noise cancellation and voice optimization to improve clarity in virtual communication. He is also the Co-founder and CEO of 10Web, an AI-driven WordPress platform that automates website building, hosting, and performance optimization for businesses and agencies. In this episode… Voice technology is evolving faster than most people can track, redefining how we meet, collaborate, and build online. As AI becomes woven into everyday tools, tasks that once felt clunky or technical now feel surprisingly simple. So what happens when voice AI and automated web creation become powerful enough to feel effortless? For Arto Minasyan, a longtime innovator in AI-driven communication, real progress occurs when technology removes friction from the experience instead of adding to it. He explains that people don't embrace tools simply because they're sophisticated — they stick with the ones that make life easier within seconds. That thinking guided Krisp's expansion from basic noise reduction into transcription, meeting notes, and real-time accent conversion. His work on automated WordPress creation reflects the same principle: deliver immediate results through an API rather than forcing users to navigate a complex platform. By centering speed, clarity, and intuitive workflows, Arto sees AI reshaping the way people communicate and build online. In this episode of the Inspired Insider Podcast, Dr. Jeremy Weisz sits down with Arto Minasyan, Co-founder and President of Krisp, to discuss the rise of voice AI and next-generation WordPress automation. They explore Krisp's expansion beyond noise cancellation, the power of an API-first website builder, and how timing shapes startup success. Arto also talks about the future of human-to-computer voice interaction.
Transitioning a mature organization from an API-first model to an AI-first model is no small feat. In this episode, Yash Kosaraju, CISO of Sendbird, shares the story of how they pivoted from a traditional chat API platform to an AI agent platform and how security had to evolve to keep up.Yash spoke about the industry's obsession with "Zero Trust," arguing instead for a practical "Multi-Layer Trust" approach that assumes controls will fail . We dive deep into the specific architecture of securing AI agents, including the concept of a "Trust OS," dealing with new incident response definitions (is a wrong AI answer an incident?), and the critical need to secure the bridge between AI agents and customer environments .This episode is packed with actionable advice for AppSec engineers feeling overwhelmed by the speed of AI. Yash shares how his team embeds security engineers into sprint teams for real-time feedback, the importance of "AI CTFs" for security awareness, and why enabling employees with enterprise-grade AI tools is better than blocking them entirely .Questions asked:Guest Socials - Yash's LinkedinPodcast Twitter - @CloudSecPod If you want to watch videos of this LIVE STREAMED episode and past episodes - Check out our other Cloud Security Social Channels:-Cloud Security Podcast- Youtube- Cloud Security Newsletter If you are interested in AI Cybersecurity, you can check out our sister podcast - AI Security PodcastQuestions asked:(00:00) Introduction(02:20) Who is Yash Kosaraju?

Welcome to Season 5, Episode 49! Vroooommmm!!! We're exploring the story of Asian Pacific Islanders in Formula 1… and this is something we actually know a bit about. This is a sport long dominated by Europeans and a handful of South Americans, but there has been a small group of drivers of Asian Pacific descent who have made an impact in recent years. We'll share a little about F1 racing in general as well as when API began making their mark in the sport. In addition to recent drivers like Alex Albon (our favorite), Yuki Tsunoda, Zhou Guanyu, and now Arvid Lindblad, we'll also talk about a few engineers, leaders, and teams that have prominent Asian representation. In our recurring segment, we'll share what we're listening to. For Ted, it's the audiobook of Babel by R.F. Kuang. It's narrated by Chris Lew Kum Hoi and Billie Fulford-Brown. For Gen, it's the music of Sarah Kinsley… specifically the song Fleeting. If you like what we do, please share, follow, and like us in your podcast directory of choice or on Instagram @AAHistory101.

See also: elf: Advent of Code CLI helper for Python Michael #2: Django 6 is coming Expected December 2025 Django 6.0 supports Python 3.12, 3.13, and 3.14 Built-in support for the Content Security Policy (CSP) standard is now available, making it easier to protect web applications against content injection attacks such as cross-site scripting (XSS). The Django Template Language now supports template partials, making it easier to encapsulate and reuse small named fragments within a template file. Django now includes a built-in Tasks framework for running code outside the HTTP request–response cycle. This enables offloading work, such as sending emails or processing data, to background workers. Email handling in Django now uses Python's modern email API, introduced in Python 3.6. This API, centered around the email.message.EmailMessage class Brian #3: Advanced, Overlooked Python Typing get_args, TypeGuard, TypeIs, and more goodies Michael #4: codespell Learned from this PR for the Talk Python book. Fix common misspellings in text files. It's designed primarily for checking misspelled words in source code (backslash escapes are skipped), but it can be used with other files as well. It does not check for word membership in a complete dictionary, but instead looks for a set of common misspellings. Therefore it should catch errors like "adn", but it will not catch "adnasdfasdf". It shouldn't generate false-positives when you use a niche term it doesn't know about. Extras Brian: Is mkdocs maintained? Hatch 1.16 Michael: Follow up on tach from Gerben Dekker: tach has been unmaintained for a bit but is not anymore. It was the main product from Gauge which is a Y combinator startup that pivoted to something unrelated and abandoned tach. However, https://github.com/DetachHead forked it but now got access to the main repo and has committed to maintaining it. ruff analyze graph is fully independent of tach - we actually started to look into alternatives for tach when it became unmaintained and then found ruff analyze graph. For our use case, with just a bit of manipulation on top of ruff analyze graph we replaced our use of deptry (which was slower - and I try to be careful depending on one-man projects).

Digital IDs are about to reshape how we prove who we are online. Peter Horadan, CEO at Vouched, joins the show to break down what this shift really means for trust, privacy, and the rise of agent driven systems. He explains why digital IDs will remove huge amounts of friction, stop common fraud paths, and change how we secure everything from bank accounts to AI agents acting on our behalf.This is a clear look at what is coming in the next two years and why it matters to every engineering and product leader.Key Takeaways• Digital IDs will move identity checks from risk based guesses to near perfect certainty which changes how products verify users• Fine control over what you share will unlock new applications and ease concerns about oversharing personal data• Agent driven workflows need a clear way to separate human actions from agent actions so that permissions, auditing, and safety scale• Identity standards for agents will remove phishing and reduce fraud by creating traceable reputations for good and bad agents• Regulation and real world use are not fully aligned yet which creates gaps around privacy, liability, and legal agreementsTimestamped Highlights00:53 How digital IDs work on your phone and why they remove friction across services04:14 What becomes possible when you can share only the specific parts of your ID07:22 Why physical ID checks are easy to fake and how digital IDs solve this12:16 How agents act on your behalf and why that breaks old security patterns17:40 Why agents need their own identity and reputation systems22:01 Legal gray zones around AI, privacy, accountability, and real world contracts27:12 The tipping point where digital IDs become standard for most online servicesA line that captures the episode“Everything we do today to identify people online is risk based. Digital IDs move us to absolute proof.”Pro Tips from Peter• Expect digital ID flows to replace password resets across most valuable services• Treat agent permissions like API scopes and give only what is needed• Plan for separate logging of human actions and agent actions in your systemsCall to ActionIf this episode gave you a clearer picture of where identity and agent driven systems are headed, follow the show and share it with someone building in security, AI, or product.

In this episode of Technology Reseller News' special series on Telco Days 2025, Doug Green speaks with Damian Mazurek, Chief Innovation Officer at Software Mind, about why the telecom industry is at a historic crossroads – and what it will take for telcos to move from commodity connectivity to AI-era value creators. Mazurek explains how rapid advances in AI, edge computing, LEO satellites and IoT are converging with generational change, especially Gen Z's preference for asynchronous, AI-enabled interactions. Traditional voice and human-to-human communication are giving way to data-driven, bot-mediated experiences. “The next generation will not even talk with us – their AI assistants will do it for them,” he notes, predicting a future where AI agents negotiate, schedule, buy, sell and resolve issues on behalf of human users. To avoid being trapped as low-margin bandwidth providers, Mazurek argues that telcos must evolve from telco to techco, building both an innovation culture and the cloud-native platforms needed to iterate at high speed. He outlines a three-layer framework for AI in the RAN – AI for the run, AI in the run and AI on the run – where AI improves network operations, monetizes unused capacity for AI workloads, and enables new services built on top of programmable, API-driven networks. Mazurek sees major opportunities in: Turning surplus network capacity and distributed edge infrastructure into an “AI grid” that hosts and accelerates AI workloads. Leveraging telco data and real-time APIs to power new services and revenue streams. Enabling sectors like agriculture, aquaculture and industrial automation with reliable connectivity, low latency and AI-ready infrastructure in previously hard-to-reach locations. Delivering proactive, AI-driven customer experiences that match Gen Z expectations for simplicity, personalization and immediacy. Ultimately, Mazurek believes telcos that embrace cloud-native transformation, programmable networks and AI-driven operations can do far more than survive the coming decade. “They can dominate the market and create new business value,” he says, by building the secure, trusted infrastructure that will underpin AI-to-AI communication at global scale.

In this episode, host Aaron Stanley speaks with Justin Norman, founder of The Flip, a content creator and filmmaker who documents technology adoption in emerging markets. Justin shares insights from his recent Latin American research trip exploring stablecoin adoption, which resulted in a YouTube documentary series examining markets like Argentina and Bolivia. The conversation delves into the disconnect between Argentina's impressive stablecoin transaction volumes and the lack of visible retail adoption, revealing that stablecoins primarily serve as store-of-value tools and facilitate cross-border trade rather than everyday spending. Justin emphasizes the importance of understanding the macro conditions driving adoption, including dollar shortages, parallel exchange markets, and currency devaluation, rather than focusing solely on technology hype. He also draws compelling parallels between Latin American and African markets, noting how similar economic pressures create comparable crypto adoption patterns, while highlighting Latin America's superior payment infrastructure that enables more seamless on-ramps and off-ramps for stablecoin users.You can connect with Justin on LinkedinBe sure to check out Justin's incredible YouTube documentary on stablecoins in Argentina here------------------------------------------------------------------Brazil Crypto Report is presented by AveniaIf you're building a wallet, a crypto consumer app, or a global payment platform, Avenia is your bridge to Latin America.

Google observe l'émergence d'outils malveillants capables de se réécrire grâce à l'IA pour contourner les systèmes de détection, une première qui marque un changement de cap dans les méthodes des cybercriminels. Deux familles d'outils, PromptFlux et PromptSteel, illustrent cette évolution en utilisant Gemini ou des API publiques pour régénérer leur code et masquer leurs traces. Google affirme avoir neutralisé ces infrastructures, mais prévient que cette sophistication va alimenter un marché clandestin en pleine expansion. L'entreprise appelle à des standards de sécurité plus robustes et mise sur ses propres outils d'autodétection et d'autocorrection pour contrer ces menaces émergentes. Entrevue avec la gestionnaire des programmes techniques au sein du groupe d'analyse des menaces de Google, Azi Vaziri.

In this episode, a16z GP Martin Casado sits down with Sherwin Wu, Head of Engineering for the OpenAI Platform, to break down how OpenAI organizes its platform across models, pricing, and infrastructure, and how it is shifting from a single general-purpose model to a portfolio of specialized systems, custom fine-tuning options, and node-based agent workflows.They get into why developers tend to stick with a trusted model family, what builds that trust, and why the industry moved past the idea of one model that can do everything. Sherwin also explains the evolution from prompt engineering to context design and how companies use OpenAI's fine-tuning and RFT APIs to shape model behavior with their own data.Highlights from the conversation include: • How OpenAI balances a horizontal API platform with vertical products like ChatGPT• The evolution from Codex to the Composer model• Why usage-based pricing works and where outcome-based pricing breaks• What the Harmonic Labs and Rockset acquisitions added to OpenAI's agent work• Why the new agent builder is deterministic, node based, and not free roaming Resources: Follow Sherwin on X: https://x.com/sherwinwu Follow Martin on X: https://x.com/martin_casado Stay Updated:If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to like, subscribe, and share with your friends!Find a16z on X: https://x.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zListen to the a16z Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5bC65RDvs3oxnLyqqvkUYXListen to the a16z Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a16z-podcast/id842818711Follow our host: https://x.com/eriktorenbergPlease 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.

AWS's approach to Elastic Kubernetes Service has evolved significantly since its 2018 launch. According to Mike Stefanik, Senior Manager of Product Management for EKS and ECR, today's users increasingly represent the late majority—teams that want Kubernetes without managing every component themselves. In a conversation onThe New Stack Makers, Stefanik described how AI workloads are reshaping Kubernetes operations and why AWS open-sourced an MCP server for EKS. Early feedback showed that meaningful, task-oriented tool names—not simple API mirrors—made MCP servers more effective for LLMs, prompting AWS to design tools focused on troubleshooting, runbooks, and full application workflows. AWS also introduced a hosted knowledge base built from years of support cases to power more capable agents.While “agentic AI” gets plenty of buzz, most customers still rely on human-in-the-loop workflows. Stefanik expects that to shift, predicting 2026 as the year agentic workloads move into production. For experimentation, he recommends the open-source Strands SDK. Internally, he has already seen major productivity gains from BI agents that automate complex data analysis tasks.Learn more from The New Stack about Amazon Web Services' approach to Elastic Kubernetes ServiceHow Amazon EKS Auto Mode Simplifies Kubernetes Cluster Management (Part 1)A Deep Dive Into Amazon EKS Auto (Part 2)Join our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game.

What would the freight industry look like if we all spoke the same digital language? And how much time and money could we save if billing, visibility, and documentation finally flowed in real time? Today, Keith Peterson from NMFTA shares the launch of the Digital Standards Development Council, one of the biggest steps our industry has taken in years toward unified terminology and API standardization! Keith and I talk about eliminating confusion around basic terms, replacing paper bills of lading with real API-driven E-BOLs, cutting integration costs with one API standard, and bringing true billing transparency through real-time freight charge updates. With new API products for E-BOL, visibility, invoicing, and claims hitting public release soon—and major players already adopting the framework—we're heading toward a future where automation, speed, and collaboration become the norm while relationships stay front and center!

Why Your Affiliate Style Images Might Be Killing Your Amazon Business In just 10 minutes, I'll challenge most of what you believe—and show you why the opposite might be true. Watch to the end for 99 scroll-stopping techniques from the world's top three product photographers. Watch here on YouTube for the full experience. "Pretty doesn't convert." - Affiliate Marketers What happens when hammer-and-nail marketing doesn't work? Everyone's favourite dog, Rufus, seems to have a different opinion when it comes to images and stopping the scroll. Text on Images Cluttered images make your brand appear unprofessional or cheap. Impact of busy images: Too many elements distract from the product. Visual focus and clarity: Eliminates distractions, letting customers focus on your product. Pattern interrupt: Stops the scroll. Reduced cognitive load: Easy for customers to process and understand. Professional aesthetic: Clean layouts convey luxury and quality. The Paradox of Dense Images Information overload: Excessive visual details cause faster scrolling. Cognitive fatigue: Complex images demand more mental effort, prompting quick dismissal. Lost focus: When everything competes, nothing stands out. What Actually Stops the Scroll? Clean contrast: Single element against clean background. Less-is-more: Pattern break through simplicity. Simple images stand out in cluttered feeds. The most effective scroll-stoppers are the cleanest, most focused images. The Low-Price Paradox Trust barrier: Customers are naturally sceptical of cheap products. Poor images confirm their worst fears. The Outliers Outliers are statistically insignificant compared to what drives success. The 99% reality: 97% of customers respond positively to clean, well-lit, professional images. Cherry Picking and Moonshots Avoid cherry-picking outliers as universal truths. If so, everyone would have proven strategies and no failed products. Why Outliers Get Disproportionate Attention Survival bias: We notice the 1% that succeed unusually, not the 99% that fail. Marketing case studies: Unusual success stories are interesting. Confirmation bias: People remember exceptions that validate rule-breaking. Also in the video: 99 techniques for stopping the scroll, by three of the world's best, working with multi-million-dollar and billion-dollar brands. 99 image principles used by three of the world's top product photographers: Peter Belanger - Apple's product photographer since 2007 Tim Tadder - Nike, Adidas, and NFL campaign photographer Jonathan Knowles - Coca-Cola, Guinness, and major beverage brands As a thank you for everything this industry has given me over the past decade, DesignLoop is my gift to you. No subscriptions—just add your API keys and you're ready to compete with major brands with innovative images and video. No one ever stopped the scroll by imitation. It's time to get back to winning.
