Podcasts about Apis

Hace nueve años éramos más jóvenes. O al menos eso nos gusta creer. En el episodio 1 de BIMrras hablábamos de los límites del BIM desde la ingenuidad, la ilusión y un sector que todavía no tenía claro si BIM era software, metodología o una moda pasajera. Nueve años después, el sector ha cambiado… o eso creemos. Porque ahora hablamos de ecosistemas de datos, APIs, plataformas, IA, automatización y flujos sin geometría. Pero la pregunta sigue siendo la misma: ¿Han desaparecido los límites del BIM o simplemente los hemos movido? En este episodio hablamos de los límites del BIM, 9 años después, y volvemos al punto de partida para revisar qué ha cambiado de verdad y qué seguimos haciendo exactamente igual, solo que con palabras más largas. En este episodio contamos con la colaboración de Previsión Mallorquina (https://previsionmallorquina.com) Contenido del episodio: 00:00 Introducción y presentación del podcast BIMRAS 02:10 Contexto del episodio y recuerdo del debate sobre los límites del BIM 05:40 Evolución del BIM en nueve años 08:20 De modelo geométrico a ecosistemas de datos 11:40 Interoperabilidad más allá de IFC 15:30 APIs, flujos de datos y plataformas distribuidas 19:40 El papel actual de los CDE 24:00 BIM como contenedor de datos y no solo geometría 28:10 Importancia y problemas de la sobrecarga de datos 33:20 Cultura del dato y calidad de la información 38:30 Irrupción de la inteligencia artificial en BIM 43:40 Límites reales de la IA generativa en el sector 49:50 Sistemas expertos vs IA generativa 55:30 Interoperabilidad, formatos y futuro API First 01:01:40 Neutralidad, plataformas y control de los datos 01:07:00 El factor humano como principal límite del BIM

What if understanding your codebase was no longer a blocker for great testing? Most testers were trained to work around the code — clicking through UIs, guessing selectors, and relying on outdated docs or developer explanations. In this episode, Playwright expert Ben Fellows flip that model on its head. Using AI tools like Cursor, testers can now explore the codebase directly — asking questions, uncovering APIs, understanding data relationships, and spotting risk before a single test is written. This isn't about becoming a developer. It's about using AI to finally see how the system really works — and using that insight to test smarter, earlier, and with far more confidence. If you've ever joined a new team, inherited a legacy app, or struggled to understand what really changed in a release, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Around the School Table (xuno.com.au/podcasts), host Steve Davis is joined by James Wright, a physics teacher and Digital Innovation Lead at Garden International School (gardenschool.edu.my) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The school is home to around 50 nationalities. It also supports a thriving, multilingual community. After 12 years in Malaysia, James on what changes when you teach internationally. Yet, he also shares what stays the same. Students are still students, wherever you teach. However, expectations around grades can vary wildly. So, the conversation turns to assessment and reporting. Parents may be familiar with GCSE grades, IB scores, GPA, or Australian systems. Because of that, a single letter grade can create confusion. It can also create anxiety. Therefore, James explains why visual reporting can build clarity fast. He breaks down how graphical reporting helps families understand progress at a glance. For example, a simple bar or curve can show “where your child is” right now. It can also show “where we expect them to be”. Meanwhile, teachers still get the numbers when they need detail. The discussion also explores technology choices in schools. James contrasts “school-in-a-box” platforms with flexible tools. In particular, he explains why Accelerus stands out for reporting. It is curriculum agnostic. It is also highly customisable. As a result, schools can shape reports around their own language and processes. Importantly, James talks about leading change without overwhelm. First, he starts with a clear shared vision. Then, he involves staff, parents, and administration early. Also, he looks for the people most likely to challenge the plan. Those voices are treated as valuable. Because of that, issues are spotted sooner. Finally, the episode tackles data sovereignty and APIs. James argues that schools should be able to move data in and out easily. That flexibility supports long-term strategy. It also builds trust.

AI agents are moving from experimental tools to everyday enterprise workflows. Reporting live from AWS re:Invent 2025 in Las Vegas for Irish Tech News, I attended a press-only briefing titled Security and the Rise of AI Agents, where senior AWS leaders Amy Herzog, Chief Information Security Officer, Hart Rossman, Vice President in the Office of the CISO, Gea Rinehouse, Vice President of Security Services and Neha Rungta, Director of Applied Science outlined how the company intends to manage this transition. AWS is pushing ahead with autonomous agents, but only within a security model built on long-standing principles: identity, governance, compliance and clear oversight. What is an AI Agent? An AI agent is a software system that uses artificial intelligence to carry out tasks autonomously in pursuit of a specific goal. Unlike chatbots that only respond to prompts, an agent can reason, plan and take action across different steps of a workflow. It can use tools such as web services or APIs, monitor its progress and adjust its approach as conditions change. Over time, it can improve its performance based on the data and experience it gathers. This distinction matters, because the rise of agents raises new questions about accountability, access, oversight and safety. Security First AWS chief executive Matt Garman shaped much of the week's discussion. Speaking about the reality facing engineering teams, he noted: "Every customer wants their products to be secure, but you have trade-offs. Where do you spend your time? Do you improve the security of existing features, or do you ship new ones?" The briefing returned to this point several times. AWS's position is that strong design-stage security reduces the tension between improvement and innovation. Agents are seen as an opportunity to reinforce security, not dilute it. AWS Security Agent One of the major announcements at re:Invent was the preview of AWS Security Agent. The tool brings several security checks forward in the development process. It reviews designs, analyses code, gathers richer signals for incident response and performs penetration testing that reflects real system behaviour rather than generic patterns. AWS Security Agent is one of the new Frontier Agents introduced at re:Invent, a family of autonomous tools designed to handle multi-step tasks across development, security and operations. Neha Rungta described the significance of this shift. She called the Security Agent "one of these frontier AI agents, a sophisticated class of AI agents that are autonomous and scalable and can work for long periods without human intervention. Security doesn't have to be an afterthought." She added that AWS is expanding its proof-based assurance tools so teams can understand correctness without being specialists in system logic. The broader point is that verification needs to be continuous, not episodic. Guardrails for Autonomy The panel stressed that agents must operate within strict boundaries. Updated policy controls in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore allow organisations to specify what an agent can do, which systems it can reach and how its actions are logged and reviewed. Hart Rossman remarked that each major technology shift has increased the demands placed on security teams. With agents running for extended periods and across more systems, the real pressure points now are scale and speed. Guardrails are essential. The Sandbox Approach A theme repeated throughout the session was the use of sandbox environments. AWS encouraged organisations to test new agents in isolation before considering production use. This allows teams to observe long-running behaviour, confirm access paths, check escalation rules and understand how an agent reacts under different conditions. The sandbox was presented as a practical way to build confidence gradually rather than relying on assumptions. Inside the Press Briefing Questions focused on monitoring autonomy, preventing agents from widening their scope...

Hey everyone, December started strong and does NOT want to slow down!? OpenAI showed us their response to the Code Red and it's GPT 5.2, which doesn't feel like a .1 upgrade! We got it literally as breaking news at the end of the show, and oh boy! The new kind of LLMs is here. GPT, then Gemini, then Opus and now GPT again... Who else feels like we're on a trippy AI rolercoaster? Just me?

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. In the ever-dynamic landscape of these industries, recent advancements have underscored both the scientific ingenuity and strategic foresight shaping patient care today.Pfizer has unveiled promising clinical trial data for Tukysa, indicating its potential as a first-line maintenance therapy in HER2-positive breast cancer. This development suggests that Tukysa could delay disease progression, offering patients extended survival prospects and an improved quality of life. Additionally, Pfizer's recent licensing agreement with Yaopharma for YP05002—a small molecule GLP-1 agonist currently in Phase 1 trials aimed at obesity treatment—highlights their strategic push into the rapidly evolving obesity treatment market.Meanwhile, Fondazione Telethon, an Italian nonprofit organization, has achieved a significant milestone with FDA approval for Waskyra—the first gene therapy for Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome. This ex vivo gene therapy directly targets the genetic roots of this rare disease, shifting treatment from symptomatic management to addressing underlying causes. This approval is transformative not only for patients suffering from this condition but also for the broader field of gene therapies, heralding a new era in treating rare genetic disorders.On the strategic front, Eli Lilly's decision to establish a $6 billion active pharmaceutical ingredient manufacturing facility in Huntsville, Alabama, marks a pivotal investment in U.S. manufacturing capabilities. This site will be critical in producing APIs for small molecule and peptide medicines, a testament to Lilly's commitment to meeting growing therapeutic demands while bolstering domestic production resilience—a trend gaining momentum across the industry. In oncology, Eli Lilly's Jaypirca demonstrated an impressive reduction in disease progression during Phase 3 trials for chronic lymphocytic leukemia.Biocon's acquisition of Viatris' stake in their biosimilar subsidiary exemplifies the shifting dynamics within the biosimilars market. This move allows Biocon to consolidate its market position as biosimilars gain traction as cost-effective alternatives to branded biologics. Such strategic realignments are indicative of competitive maneuvering aimed at capturing greater market share and driving down healthcare costs.Roche has made strides with compelling results from its Phase 3 trial of giredestrant, an oral selective estrogen receptor degrader showing a 30% reduction in risk for invasive breast cancer recurrence or death. The significance of this development lies in offering an oral alternative to injectable treatments, potentially improving patient adherence and reshaping standard care protocols for hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. Furthermore, Roche has achieved another regulatory milestone with its monoclonal antibody Gazyvaro gaining EU approval for treating lupus nephritis following successful Phase 3 trials.Innovation continues unabated as Formation Bio forms a new subsidiary through a $605 million deal with Lynk Pharmaceuticals. By securing rights to a next-generation immunology asset, Formation Bio positions itself at the forefront of immunological research developments. Concurrently, BioNTech and Bristol Myers Squibb have reported positive results from Phase 2 trials of Pumitamig for triple-negative breast cancer—validating bispecific antibodies' efficacy within oncology.Collaborative efforts are also reshaping industry landscapes.

This episode of The Dish on Health IT features Denny Brennan, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Health Data Consortium (MHDC), in conversation with host Tony Schueth, CEO of Point-of-Care Partners (POCP), and co-host Ross Martin, MD, Senior Consultant with POCP. Together, they examine how MHDC is translating national interoperability policy into practical, statewide action, specifically around the CMS-0057 rule.After brief introductions, the conversation quickly turns to MHDC's long history and why it matters. Founded in 1978, before the internet, MHDC guided Massachusetts through nearly every major health IT transition: HIPAA, Meaningful Use, ICD-10, and now interoperability and automation. Denny explains that this continuity has created something rare in healthcare: sustained trust across payers, providers, vendors, regulators, and associations. That trust, he notes, is what allows competitors to work through shared infrastructure problems that no single organization could solve on its own.From there, the discussion turns to why the MHDC community chose to coordinate and support members in their CMS-0057 compliance journey, versus just letting each member organization go it alone. Denny emphasizes that while healthcare is regulated federally, it functions locally. Each state has its own mix of insurers, hospital systems, rules, and market pressures. In Massachusetts, where long-standing relationships already exist, MHDC saw an opportunity to move faster, test real workflows, and generate lessons that could inform efforts far beyond the state.The discussion then moved to how work to improve prior authorization became such a high-priority focus. Denny describes how the process has grown into one of the most disruptive administrative burdens for clinicians. Rules vary by plan, criteria change frequently, and the information providers need is often hard to access in real time. The result is defensive behavior. Offices routinely submit prior authorizations “just in case,” often by fax or phone, simply to avoid denials and treatment delays. That inefficiency, he explains, ripples outward by slowing patient care, driving up providers' overhead, and requiring health plans to spend more time and resources processing and reviewing the required PA alongside the unneeded submissions.The financial impact quickly becomes apparent. Denny points to evidence showing that administrative costs consume a massive share of U.S. healthcare spending, with prior authorization playing a meaningful role. If automation is implemented through a neutral, nonprofit infrastructure, MHDC believes there is a much greater chance that savings will flow back into premiums and public program costs rather than being swallowed by inefficiency.Ross adds an important dose of realism. Prior authorization friction, he notes, is not always accidental. In some cases, operational complexity functions as a utilization control mechanism. That creates a built-in tension between access, cost containment, and patient experience, and helps explain why national reform has moved slowly despite widespread frustration.At that point, the conversation shifts from why this is broken to how MHDC is trying to fix it. Denny walks through MHDC's operating model: convene the full ecosystem early and often. In a recent deep-dive session, roughly 60 representatives from health plans, providers, and the state participated in a working session focused on what an automated prior authorization workflow could realistically look like. MHDC brought a draft framework to the table. The community pressure tested it and surfaced workflow conflicts, operational blind spots, and policy misalignments that no single organization could see on its own.That collaborative process, Denny explains, is the real engine behind adoption. When stakeholders help build the solution themselves, implementation becomes a shared commitment rather than a compliance exercise. It also reduces resistance later because decisions are not delivered top-down. They are constructed collectively.The discussion then turns to FHIR adoption and why, while real, progress has taken time. Denny traces the turning point back to the 21st Century Cures Act, which reframed patient access to health data as a legal right and categorized data blocking as a regulatory violation. That policy shift, combined with the growing maturity of API-based interoperability, created the conditions for real-time data exchange to finally move from theory to practice.Ross provides a historical perspective from the standards side. Earlier generations of health data standards were conceptually elegant but extremely difficult to implement consistently. FHIR changed that equation by aligning healthcare data exchange with the same API-driven architecture that supports the modern web. He points to accelerating real-world adoption, particularly from large EHR platforms, as evidence that FHIR has entered a phase of broad, practical deployment.Although pharmacy prior authorization falls outside the formal scope of CMS 0057, Denny makes clear that MHDC could not ignore it. For many physicians, especially in oncology, dermatology, and primary care, PA for prescriptions is far more frequent and far more disruptive than PAs for medical services. If MHDC solved only one side of the problem, much of the daily burden for clinicians would remain unchanged.Pharmacy prior authorization, however, introduces a new level of complexity. PBMs, pharmacists, prescribing systems, payers, and patients are all involved, often across fragmented workflows. Denny explains that the challenge looks less like a pure technology gap and more like an orchestration problem. It is about getting the right information to the right party at the right moment across multiple handoffs.Ross shares insights from the pharmacy PA research work conducted with MHDC and POCP. One of the most striking findings was the massive year-end renewal surge that hits providers every benefit cycle as authorizations tied to prior coverage suddenly expire. He also reflects on a recent national electronic prior authorization roundtable, where deep stakeholder discussion ultimately led most participants to conclude that today's technology alone still is not sufficient to fully solve pharmacy PA. The tools are improving, but the problem remains deeply multi-layered.As the episode winds down, the tone shifts toward practical calls to action.Denny challenges the industry to separate where competition belongs from where collaboration is essential. Contract negotiations may be adversarial by nature, he notes, but interoperability initiatives cannot succeed under the same mindset. Real progress depends on bringing collaboratively minded people into the room. These are people willing to solve shared infrastructure problems even when their organizations compete elsewhere.Ross builds on that message with a longer-term challenge: sustained participation in standards development. Organizations cannot sit back and hope others shape the future on their behalf. Active involvement in national standards organizations is critical. This is not for immediate quarterly returns, but to influence the systems everyone will be required to use in the years ahead.The episode closes with a clear takeaway. MHDC did not wait for perfect conditions. It moved when the pieces were good enough, tested real workflows with real stakeholders, adjusted in the open, and began sharing lessons nationally. In an industry often slowed by fragmentation and risk aversion, this conversation offers a grounded look at what forward motion actually looks like when collaboration, policy, and technology finally align.You can find this and other episodes of The Dish on Health IT wherever you get your podcasts, including Spotify and Healthcare Now Radio.

Esta operación de ahorro fue casi una de las primeras cosas que acometió el director de la DGT actual, Pere Navarro, en su primera etapa del 2004 al 2012. Pere Navarro impulsó una de las campañas de publicidad vial más impactantes y polémicas de la historia de España, conocida por sus anuncios televisivos extremadamente dramáticos y crudos, como “La muerte no avisa”, “Víctimas 3D” o los spots que mostraban accidentes reales reconstruidos con gran realismo y testimonios desgarradores de víctimas y familiares. Esta estrategia de “shock advertising”, inspirada en modelos australianos y británicos, buscaba generar un impacto emocional profundo para cambiar conductas. Los resultados fueron espectaculares: en 2003, antes de su llegada, España registraba 5.399 fallecidos en carretera; al final de su mandato, en 2011, la cifra había caído hasta los 1.867 muertos, lo que supuso una reducción del 65 % en solo ocho años, la mayor bajada histórica registrada en tan poco tiempo. A esta campaña se sumaron medidas como la implantación del permiso por puntos (2006), el endurecimiento de sanciones y los radares de tramo, consolidando el periodo 2004-2012 como la etapa de mayor descenso de la siniestralidad vial en España. A partir de 2014, apenas dos años después de la salida de Pere Navarro, la siniestralidad vial en España rompió la tendencia descendente que había sido constante desde 2003 y comenzó a repuntar de forma sostenida: de los 1.688 fallecidos registrados en 2013 (el mínimo histórico) se pasó a 1.830 en 2019 y, tras el paréntesis de la pandemia, a 1.746 en 2023 y 1.795 en 2024 (datos a 31 de diciembre provisional). Este incremento ha alejado definitivamente al país de la hoja de ruta marcada en la Estrategia de Seguridad Vial 2011-2020 y de las previsiones que la DGT presentó en 2006, cuando, sobre la inercia del permiso por puntos y las campañas de choque, se calculaba que España alcanzaría en 2020 menos de 1.000 fallecidos anuales y se situaría por debajo de la media europea más exigente. En 2025 la cifra real duplica prácticamente aquel objetivo y España ha pasado de ser uno de los países que más rápidamente reducían víctimas a situarse en la zona media-baja de la UE, con una tasa de mortalidad por millón de habitantes que ya no mejora desde hace una década y que en 2024 (38 fallecidos por millón) se encuentra muy lejos de los líderes como Suecia (22) o Noruega (26). Por eso en 2018 se vuelve a contratar a la superestrella para ver si se puede rascar algo. La cuestión es que en un pais en deficit, las carreteras se van deteriorando y el mantenimiento es cada vez mas escaso, a la vez que el parque automovilístico envejece por no poder renovarlo y aumentan el numero de conductores procedentes de países del tercer mundo mientras que el parque tecnológico de control vial de la DGT y las comunidades autónomas con competencias transferidas es uno de los más densos y avanzados de Europa. Actualmente operan los siguientes sistemas: Radares fijos: más de 1.400 visibles, los cinemómetros clásicos en pórtico o poste, Veloláser que la DGT rota entre cabinas vacías para que no se sepa exactamente dónde están. También unos 80 “de baja altura” u ocultos. La DGT tiene un plan para instalar 122 nuevos puntos de control de velocidad a lo largo de 2025. Radares de tramo: 92 tramos operativos en 2025 con unos 232 radares, que miden la velocidad media entre dos puntos. Cubren unos 1.200 km de vías de alta capacidad. Radares móviles: unos 700 dispositivos (la mayoría Veloláser de última generación) usados por Guardia Civil y policías autonómicas/municipales. Pueden instalarse en trípode, en el guardarail, dentro de coche camuflado, motos camufladas y camiones o incluso en coche en movimiento (sin parar). El total de radares en España (todos los tipos, incluidas competencias autonómicas/ayuntamientos) es de 3.395 dispositivos en algún estudio reciente de 2025. Cámaras de cinturón y móvil: desde 2021 se han ido instalando progresivamente. En 2025 hay más de 400 cámaras certificadas que detectan simultáneamente el no uso del cinturón y el manejo del móvil. Funcionan día y noche y ya sancionan automáticamente. Cámaras de reconocimiento de matrículas (OCR): más de 1.200 instaladas en pórticos, postes y coches patrulla. Sirven para: Controlar vehículos sin ITV o sin seguro. Detectar coches robados o reclamados judicialmente. Vigilar el acceso a Zonas de Bajas Emisiones (ZBE) de las ciudades. Hacer seguimiento de flotas y detectar infracciones reiteradas. Cámaras fijas de 360º: Se estima que hay al menos 1.492 cámaras fijas de tráfico distribuidas en unas 150 carreteras de la red nacional y autonómica, muchas de las cuales incorporan tecnología PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) que permite una visión panorámica de 360 grados para ofrecer imágenes en movimiento de alta resolución, tanto para agentes como para el público a través de herramientas como Infocar de la DGT. A esto debemos sumar las que existan en Cataluña y Pais Vasco dentro de sus propios sistemas de trafico y las operadas por operadores privados en autopistas. Cámaras en peajes y pórticos “Free-Flow”: desde la supresión de peajes físicos en muchas autopistas (AP-7, AP-4, etc.), se han instalado cientos de pórticos con cámaras 3D que identifican la matrícula delantera y trasera y miden velocidad instantánea al mismo tiempo. Detectores de kamikazes: desde 2022 se han instalado más de 120 sensores en autovías y autopistas de doble calzada (principalmente Cataluña, Valencia, Andalucía y Madrid). Son cámaras y sensores LIDAR que detectan vehículos circulando en sentido contrario en menos de 15 segundos y activan paneles luminosos con la alerta “KAMIKAZE” y avisos a la Guardia Civil. En 2024-2025 se ha ampliado el despliegue a Galicia, Castilla y León y Aragón. Drones: la DGT dispone de 39 drones Pegasus con cámara 4K y zoom de 180x que vigilan especialmente en operaciones especiales, carreteras secundarias y eventos masivos (Semana Santa, verano, puentes). Helicópteros: 9 helicópteros en activo y 2 en proyecto equipados con radar Pegasus que pueden controlar hasta 8 carriles simultáneamente y sancionar mientras vuelan a 300-400 km/h de velocidad. Todo este arsenal tecnológico ha permitido que en 2024 se formularan más de 5,5 millones de denuncias automatizadas (el 92 % del total), pero también ha generado la sensación de que, pese a la vigilancia masiva, la mortalidad no baja desde hace diez años, lo que ha llevado a debates sobre si el enfoque exclusivamente sancionador y tecnológico ha tocado techo y necesita complementarse con otras medidas (educación, diseño de carreteras más seguras, renovación del parque móvil, etc.). Pues a todo este despliegue monstruoso de control viene a sumarse una triste lucecita para poner en el techo con la excusa de salvar 25 vidas por atropellos en las carreteras, en palabras textuales de la DGT: "La sustitución de los triángulos está justificada por motivos de seguridad vial, al considerar el riesgo de atropello que supone la colocación de los triángulos por tener que andar, al menos, 100 metros por la calzada sin que haya garantía de que se mantengan en su sitio una vez colocados.” "Con el propósito de avanzar en el ámbito de la seguridad vial y la reducción de accidentes, nace el dispositivo V16.” Según el director general Pere Navarro: "La implantación de la V16 conectada supone un salto adelante y nos sitúa como referentes europeos en seguridad vial. Permite señalizar sin salir del vehículo, evita riesgos innecesarios y aporta información vital a los demás usuarios de la vía." "El objetivo de implantar este nuevo dispositivo de preseñalización en los vehículos es mejorar la seguridad vial, intentando reducir los accidentes de tráfico, sobre todo los provocados por vehículos inmovilizados y estacionados en el arcén.” Os leo textualmente los apartados del articulo 130 del Reglamento General de Circulación de España publicado en el BOE en el Real Decreto 159/2021, de 26 de febrero, dice así: Artículo 130. Señalización e inmovilización de vehículos. 1.Los conductores deberán señalizar la situación de peligro creada por la avería de su vehículo o por el accidente sufrido, adoptando las medidas necesarias para su propia seguridad y la de sus acompañantes, y para la de los demás usuarios de la vía. 2.Si el vehículo o la carga obstaculizan la calzada, deberán señalizarse y retirarse lo antes posible. En tanto no se haya producido la retirada, el vehículo deberá estacionarse de acuerdo con lo dispuesto en el artículo 91.2. 3.En caso de accidente o avería, como norma general, los ocupantes deberán abandonar el vehículo y situarse en un lugar seguro fuera de la calzada, por el lado contrario a la circulación, sin invadir los carriles de circulación ni el arcén. En el supuesto de que no exista un lugar seguro, los ocupantes deberán permanecer dentro del vehículo con el cinturón de seguridad abrochado. 4.Mientras se efectúen las actuaciones para retirar el vehículo de la vía, se utilizará el dispositivo de preseñalización de peligro reglamentario. 5.No se efectuará el atestado del accidente en la calzada, debiendo realizarse en un lugar seguro fuera de la vía. Juan Carlos Toribio, ex-Guardia Civil representante de la Unión Internacional para la Defensa de los Motociclistas nos dice claramente en un video que estamos obligados a señalizar en caso de obstruir la calzada, esto es, la zona por donde circulan los coches y no si logramos detenernos en el arcén. Desgraciadamente nos lo dejan claro en el articulo Artículo 91. Inmovilización del vehículo en casos de emergencia o de peligro. Donde en su apartado 2 se dice: 2. Cuando, por emergencia, el vehículo haya de permanecer detenido o estacionado en la calzada o en el arcén, el conductor estará obligado a adoptar las medidas necesarias para que resulte perfectamente perceptible y para que se retire lo antes posible de la vía. Volviendo al tema de los accidentes mortales que nos han traído hasta aqui, no hay un informe monográfico que confirme cuántos de estos incidentes fueron directamente por colocar o retirar los triángulos, ni cuántos involucraron a conductores particulares versus trabajadores profesionales de la carretera (como operarios de mantenimiento vial, grúas o servicios de emergencia, que representan un subgrupo significativo de peatones expuestos en arcenes, según el Registro Nacional de Víctimas de Accidentes de Tráfico). La propia DGT admite en comunicados que "no existen estudios específicos que determinen cuántas de esas víctimas lo fueron al colocar los triángulos", y expertos independientes, como en análisis de 2025, cuestionan la precisión de la cifra de "25" como aproximada y no exacta, sugiriendo que podría inflar el riesgo para justificar la baliza V-16. En su lugar, la justificación se basa en informes agregados como la Instrucción MOV-2023/15, que destaca el "notable incremento del riesgo de atropello" en autopistas/autovias por transitar el arcén, sin desglose laboral, y en la Estrategia de Seguridad Vial 2030, que agrupa estos datos en categorías amplias de "peatones vulnerables en vías interurbanas" sin diferenciar perfiles profesionales. La Estrategia de Seguridad Vial 2030 de España, aprobada en diciembre de 2021 por el Consejo de Ministros, se presenta oficialmente como la contribución nacional al cumplimiento del Objetivo de Desarrollo Sostenible 3.6 de la Agenda 2030 de Naciones Unidas, que establece textualmente: «Para 2030, reducir a la mitad el número de muertes y lesiones causadas por accidentes de tráfico en el mundo». La propia DGT lo reconoce así en su documento oficial: «Esta Estrategia se alinea con la Agenda 2030 para el Desarrollo Sostenible y, en concreto, con la meta 3.6», y adopta el mismo horizonte temporal (2030) y el mismo objetivo cuantitativo: reducir un 50 % las víctimas mortales y los heridos graves respecto a la base 2019 (1.755 fallecidos y 8.558 heridos graves hospitalizados). Además, incorpora explícitamente los principios de la Agenda 2030 (Visión Cero muertes y lesiones graves, Sistema Seguro, enfoque basado en datos, gobernanza multinivel y participación de la sociedad civil) y se integra en el marco europeo del Plan de Acción de Seguridad Vial 2021-2030 de la Comisión Europea, que también toma como referencia la meta 3.6 de la ONU. En resumen, la Estrategia española no es solo un plan nacional de tráfico, sino la herramienta con la que España pretende cumplir formalmente su compromiso internacional asumido al firmar la Agenda 2030 en septiembre de 2015. Vivimos en un país donde la esquizofrenia política roza lo caricaturesco: hace solo cinco meses, el 16 de junio de 2025, Vox presentó y defendió en el Congreso una Proposición No de Ley con el nombre “la mejora de la seguridad de los trabajadores que prestan servicio en carretera” y pidió acelerar la obligatoriedad de la baliza V-16 conectada (la misma que ahora llaman “nuevo impuesto encubierto”), logrando su aprobación con los votos del PP, los votos en contra del PSOE y todos sus socios y la abstención de Junts. Su entonces portavoz de Tráfico, Francisco José Alcaraz —el ex-peluquero convertido en diputado—, llegó a calificarla de “tecnología innovadora que salvará vidas” y exigió al Gobierno que no retrasara más su implantación definitiva. Hoy, el mismo partido pide la paralización inmediata de la medida que él mismo forzó, demostrando que en España la coherencia política tiene menos recorrido que un triángulo de emergencia en plena autovía. En 2026, cuando se haga efectiva la obligatoriedad de este nuevo artefacto de control, llevaré 40 años conduciendo por las carreteras de España y de Europa. 4 décadas en las que he visto muchas cosas en los mas de un millón de kilómetros recorridos a una media de 25.000 km al año. He tenido que usar muchas veces la señalización pasiva que ofrecen los triángulos y he visto su eficacia de noche, a pleno sol, en curvas, cambios de rasante y todo tipo de condiciones atmosféricas. Sin embargo Pere Navarro no habrá conducido ni un solo kilometro ya que nunca ha tenido carnet de conducir y siempre ha tenido chofer particular, como político estrella que ha sido. Las condiciones meteorológicas o la cobertura impedirán en un montón de ocasiones que este flan Dhul con luces sirva para algo. Hay muchas carreteras en España, incluidos trozos de autovías, donde no hay cobertura y por tanto no funcionara la geolocalización. Y este cacharro como bien dice AlainCreaciones no es a prueba de agua. La carcasa de plástico es de una calidad muy baja con pestañas de acople, sin tornillos lo que hace que la baliza tenga una protección mínima exigida por el BOE de IP54 aunque existan algunas con IP66 que ya garantizan protección contra polvo y lluvia intensa. En situación de lluvia las de menor IP tendrán fallo electrónico garantizado. Por no hablar de la durabilidad de las pilas que según el pliego de características técnicas de los dispositivos de preseñalización V-16 establecidas por la Dirección General de Tráfico (DGT) en su normativa de homologación (Instrucción MOV-2023/15 y requisitos de certificación UNE-EN 12352), la duración mínima exigida a los fabricantes para la pila o batería es de 18 meses de vida útil en reposo, independientemente de si se trata de pilas alcalinas no recargables o baterías de litio recargables. Esta especificación garantiza que el dispositivo permanezca operativo sin uso durante al menos ese periodo desde su fabricación o última carga completa, complementada con una autonomía mínima de 30 minutos de funcionamiento continuo una vez activado para emitir luz intermitente de alta intensidad. El fabricante entre otros muchos datos recibe el estado de nuestras baterías en la baliza, me pregunto para que, lo que levanta las sospechas de que el software pueda hacer otras cosas a parte de simplemente marcar el punto del accidente. Una vez agotadas, la V16 es como dice Rose Saint Olaf (ManzanaDori) un flan Dhul en el techo del coche. Eso en el mejor de los casos, porque una batería de litio dejada al sol en pleno verano en España puede terminar en tragedia, así que mejor a pilas entrecomillas “de toda la vida” que lo máximo que harán será sulfatarse y estropear la electrónica. Os puedo asegurar que en mis 40 años al volante he necesitado indicar mi avería en la carretera durante bastantes horas en alguna ocasión. Los triángulos, como he dicho anteriormente otorgan una seguridad mediante elementos pasivos, reflectantes, que no necesitan de una fuente de energia externa para funcionar y se ven desde bastante mas distancia que este flan Dhul a pilas. Entonces, si la DGT no ha demostrado con datos desglosados y públicos que esos 25 atropellos anuales se deban realmente a la colocación de triángulos (y no a otros factores como reparaciones, cambios de rueda o trabajadores en la vía), si la baliza V16 conectada no mejora la visibilidad respecto a las versiones no conectadas ya permitidas desde 2021 algunas como las V2 con sirenas giratorias enchufadas al encendedor del vehículo, y si su principal ventaja (la geolocalización) solo será obligatoria a partir de 2026 y aún no está plenamente operativa en todos los navegadores y paneles… ¿por qué se impone de forma tan drástica y urgente una medida que obliga a 30 millones de conductores a gastar entre 25 y 60 € en un dispositivo nuevo, que genera rechazo masivo por la sensación de impuesto encubierto, que se ha comunicado de forma confusa y tardía, y ha sido alimentada por bulos (chip de seguimiento, multas automáticas, negocio de empresas afines, etc.) que la propia DGT no ha desmentido con la claridad y antelación necesarias? La pregunta no es si la V16 es útil o no; es por qué se ha convertido en símbolo de una gestión autoritaria, poco transparente y desconectada de la realidad de la ciudadanía. Y aqui es donde debemos sospechar que la DGT simplemente está trabajando para otras entidades supranacionales que son las que verdaderamente están detrás de la implementación de la Agenda 2030 como he comentado antes. Eso sí, gracias a esta tecnologia la DGT obtendría algún beneficio oculto a simple vista. Vamos a analizar los datos que nos permiten asegurar sin ningún genero de dudas lo que se esconde aqui. Es verdad que algunas balizas V-16 conectadas (no todas) incluyen o recomiendan la instalación de una aplicación móvil específica del fabricante para acceder a funcionalidades adicionales, como la confirmación de recepción de alertas por la DGT, el aviso automático a contactos de emergencia vía WhatsApp, la gestión de flotas o la verificación del estado del dispositivo. En estos casos, la app sí puede solicitar datos personales del usuario (nombre, email, teléfono) y del vehículo (matrícula, tipo, bastidor o datos del seguro) para vincular la baliza a un perfil concreto y personalizar el servicio, lo que facilita la integración con plataformas como DGT 3.0 o apps de aseguradoras. Ejemplos incluyen la app SOS Alert de FlashLED/Telefónica Tech, que pide estos datos para "toda la información de tu vehículo en la APP", o apps de marcas como SOOS o LEDONE, donde se registra la matrícula para asociar la geolocalización en emergencias. Sin embargo, esto no es un requisito obligatorio de la DGT ni para la homologación ni para el uso básico de la baliza: la normativa (Instrucción MOV-2023/15) establece que el dispositivo funciona de forma autónoma con su chip GPS y SIM integrada, transmitiendo solo la ubicación anónima (sin matrícula ni identidad) a la plataforma DGT 3.0 al activarse, sin necesidad de apps, registros previos o cesión de datos a la Administración. La Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD) lo confirma explícitamente: "Para mandar la ubicación del vehículo incidentado no es necesario instalar ninguna aplicación", y "la baliza no transmite ningún tipo de datos personales ni relacionados con el vehículo" más allá del identificador técnico anónimo de cada baliza. La DGT advierte que las apps de fabricantes son opcionales y que el comprador "no tiene por qué facilitar ningún tipo de dato", ya que el proceso es completamente anónimo. O sea, la baliza tiene una ID única que la identifica, lo cual podría permitir anexar datos a esa ID, algo asi como el numero PNR que cada uno de nosotros tenemos asignados aunque ni siquiera seamos conscientes de ello. El reciente ciberataque a la Dirección General de Tráfico (DGT), detectado el 31 de mayo de 2024, ha expuesto los datos personales y vehiculares de más de 34 millones de conductores españoles, incluyendo DNIs, direcciones, matrículas y detalles de seguros, que ahora circulan en el dark web para su venta. Este incidente pone de manifiesto la creciente vulnerabilidad de los sistemas públicos ante amenazas cibernéticas, y genera preocupación sobre cómo estos datos podrían cruzarse con otros registros estatales para un seguimiento más exhaustivo de la movilidad ciudadana. Por ejemplo, al entrar en vigor la obligatoriedad de las balizas V16 –dispositivos que transmiten la ID única y la geolocalización en caso de avería–, surge la posibilidad de que se integren con la información filtrada de la DGT, permitiendo un mapeo detallado de trayectos vehiculares en tiempo real. A esto se suma que el Estado ya nos tiene en listas a través del Registro de Nombres de Pasajeros (PNR), implementado tras el 11S, que recopila datos de todos los vuelos de entrada, salida o escala en España, viajes en tren de largo recorrido y pernoctación en hoteles para fines de seguridad, abarcando identidades, itinerarios y preferencias de viaje. Podrán encontrar más información en los enlaces que se publicaran junto a la descripción de este podcast en Ivoox. Pero, sigamos. Según la Dirección General de Tráfico (DGT), en su página oficial sobre los Dispositivos de preseñalización V16, se debe llevar la baliza de la siguiente manera para evitar multas: "Debemos llevarla en la guantera de nuestro vehículo". Esto implica que, a partir del 1 de enero de 2026, cuando sea obligatoria, todo conductor estará sancionado con 80 euros (infracción leve) si no dispone de ella homologada y lista para usar en su interior, accesible y con batería o pila en buen estado (mínimo 18 meses de vida útil en reposo). Respecto a "activada", la DGT aclara textualmente que "en el momento en que tengamos que señalizar que nuestro vehículo está inmovilizado en carretera, lo único que debemos hacer es encender la baliza y colocarla en el exterior del mismo. Por eso es tan importante que la guardes a mano y que la lleves siempre cargada, ya sea con baterías o con pilas, en función del modelo de la baliza que hayas adquirido”. Bien. La baliza solo dispone de un único botón, se trata de un pulsador que activa inmediatamente las luces led y la geolocalización de la baliza a los 100 segundos de la pulsación. Con otra pulsación la apagamos y supuestamente deja de enviar nuestra geolocalización. Pero esto se ha demostrado falso ya que se le han realizado pruebas donde se ve que el router eSIM que monta emite datos estando apagada pero con las pilas puestas. Se ha elegido este tipo de transmisión de datos ya que hace que sea imposible evitar su funcionamiento extrayendo la tarjeta SIM que esta integrada en dicho modulo electrónico. Los desmontajes de las balizas han arrojado que solo disponen de un controlador de software, una antena GPS y este router de comunicación. Dicha comunicación es full duplex y permite la salida y entrada de datos asi como existe en la placa base de la baliza un sistema de introducción y extracción de datos manual y actualización del firmware. Todo el software está encriptado dentro del chip controlador y hasta donde yo se todavía ningún hacker ha podido desvelar exactamente que hace dicho software, pero debemos sospechar que podría hacer algo más que comunicar anónimamente nuestra geolocalización tras pulsar el botón. Leemos un articulo en bandaancha punto eu titulado “El dominio al que las balizas V-16 envían datos no pertenece a la DGT, sino a un misterioso usuario particular”. “Los más de 30 millones de balizas V-16 que tendrán que adquirir los propietarios de vehículos para cumplir con la normativa que entra en vigor el 1 de enero, no están programadas para llamar directamente a los sistemas de la DGT cuando se activan para señalizar la detención de un vehículo. La Resolución de la DGT publicada en noviembre de 2021 en el BOE que define el funcionamiento técnico de las balizas1, establece 2 protocolos, Protocolo A y B. El llamado protocolo A contiene el conjunto de campos que se exige a los fabricantes que remitan sus balizas. Entre los campos encontramos un identificador único de la baliza, el IMEI del módem que conecta con la red móvil, nivel de batería y por supuesto, las coordenadas geográficas que permiten a la DGT conocer la posición sobre el mapa del vehículo. Pero esta información no llega a los servidores de la DGT. La norma obliga a los fabricantes a mantener un servicio en la nube encargado de procesar todas las peticiones que llegan de las balizas de su marca como tráfico UDP sobre IP. El servidor es accesible mediante un APN privado integrado en la eSIM de la baliza, que no tiene acceso a internet. Este punto crítico para el funcionamiento de todas las balizas de un fabricante deberá mantenerse en funcionamiento durante los 12 años en los que se garantiza el servicio de conectividad. La caída del servicio de un fabricante, bien por problemas técnicos o por el cierre de la empresa, algo que podría ocurrir más fácilmente con las marcas creadas ad-hoc para aprovechar el boom de la venta de balizas, dejaría fuera de juego a las miles de balizas de la marca. Es por ello que el pliego técnico del concurso en el que se adjudicó la creación de la DGT 3.0 a un grupo de empresas lideradas por Vodafone, contemplaba la posibilidad de habilitar sistemas de respaldo para los fabricantes. Los servidores del fabricante de la baliza son los encargados de, en un segundo paso, reenviar los datos de un incidente en curso a los servidores de la DGT. Lo hacen aplicando el protocolo B, que a día de hoy contiene un conjunto reducido de los datos originalmente enviados por la baliza a su fabricante. Cambiar los campos del protocolo A es prácticamente inviable, puesto que requeriría actualizar manualmente el firmware de las balizas. Mucho más sencillo resulta para la DGT vía publicación de nueva Resolución en el BOE modificar el protocolo B, ampliando si lo desea sus campos con los que ya reciben los fabricantes. El dominio de entrada a la DGT 3.0 está a nombre de un particular. La DGT invita a los fabricantes de dispositivos y desarrolladores de apps a conectarse a su nube DGT 3.0 publicando en su web2 los repositorios en Github que contienen los detalles para acceder al servicio. En el caso de las V-16, la nube de los fabricantes debe enviar los eventos de las balizas activas en formato json a una URL en concreto: https://pre.cmobility30.es/v16/ Aunque el subdominio pre probablemente indica que se trata de la versión del servicio habilitada para hacer pruebas antes de su paso a producción, el dominio cmobility30.es figura en la documentación de todas las APIs de la DGT 3.0, siendo por tanto un elemento crítico para el funcionamiento de la plataforma DGT 3.0. Sin embargo, la DGT no tiene la titularidad de este dominio. Al consultar el whois de cmobility30.es en los registro de Red.es no aparece como propietario la DGT ni otro organismo gubernamental. Tampoco la UTE (Unión Temporal de Empresas) designada para operar la DGT 3.0, si no que su titular es un misterioso usuario particular.” O sea, toda la arquitectura de registro de datos de un pais entero pasa por un servidor alojado en un dominio de internet a nombre de un tal Ivan Vega. Imagino que seria bastante fácil de tumbar en un ataque por hackers. Hemos visto varias cosas interesantes, esta decisión proviene de ámbitos superiores incluso a Europa por lo que va a ser muy difícil tumbarlo judicialmente y se busca algo mas que simplemente señalizar el punto donde se ha producido el accidente cosa que normalmente hace el propio accidentado con su movil, ya que la baliza no indica el punto al 112 por ejemplo, cosa que si debemos hacer nosotros. La baliza parece más bien un caballo de Troya para irnos acostumbrando a ser geolocalizados en el coche de forma constante en un futuro. Cosa que ya ocurre desde que empezamos a utilizar los teléfonos inteligentes, asi de tontos somos en realidad. La mejor forma de impedir su implementación es no comprar dichas balizas y arriesgarnos a ser multados con esos 80 euros. En mi experiencia en la carretera jamas se me pidió por parte de la Guardia Civil el que les mostrara los triángulos y se que muchos de ellos no ven con buenos ojos el haber pasado de unas medidas de prevención pasivas a una luz que necesita energia externa y que en muchos casos dejara de funcionar en apenas unos minutos. Visto que dichas balizas no tienen botón de apagado, ni tarjeta SIM que extraer para que no envíe datos, y que se nos exige llevar las pilas puestas recomiendo el aislarlas electromagnéticamente para impedir que puedan comunicar nuestra posición GPS mientras no la necesitemos para señalizar un accidente. Hay dos formas, o comprando una funda jaula de Faraday que nos costara lo mismo que una baliza o envolverla en tres o cuatro capas de papel de aluminio, también servirían esas bolsas que se utilizan en el supermercado para transportar comida en frio. Otra medida que los volvería locos es que intercambiaramos nuestras balizas con otros conductores ya que oficialmente nos dicen que los datos son anónimos aunque cada baliza cuente con un numero ID de identificación único. De momento no está claro si encender una baliza fuera de una vía donde circulen vehículos es un delito así que la saturación de las redes provocando eventos de encendido en masa también seria una buena forma de protesta. Conociendo los datos que ese protocolo B transmite en ultima instancia a la DGT no podemos asegurar que el fin ultimo sea conocer nuestra posición y velocidad en la carretera en la actualidad. Pero como he dicho, es muy probable que en un futuro, se utilicen dichos datos para empezar a implementar mas radares y controles en las zonas donde se incumplan los limites de velocidad, todo apunta a ello. Los datos son el oro en la actualidad, y más si son gratis. El actual director general de la DGT, Pere Navarro Olivella, fue alcalde de Terrassa entre 2000 y 2007 y ex líder del PSC del 2011 al 2014. Y por supuesto, como todo “buen político” fue “investigado" por un presunto delito de tráfico de influencias dentro del llamado caso Mercurio. La juez Beatriz Faura, del Juzgado de Instrucción número 2 de Sabadell, lo citó a declarar el 24 de febrero de 2016 sobre la ayuda que presto a un empresario amigo, Nicola Pedrazzoli, a obtener una concesión de un canal de TDT. El caso Mercurio ha tenido ramificaciones amplias, con imputaciones por cohecho, prevaricación y blanqueo aunque Pere Navarro ha quedado al margen de todo. En 2011, Pere Navarro, recién reincorporado como director general de Tráfico tras un breve paréntesis político, decidió trasladar su despacho y toda su unidad del edificio de la DGT en José Abascal 44 al número 28 de la misma calle, exactamente al mismo inmueble que él mismo había abandonado en 2007 para irse al 44. El argumento oficial fue “estar más cerca del secretario general del organismo” y mejorar la coordinación, una justificación que resultó ridícula para muchos: los dos edificios están a apenas 200 metros de distancia y ya estaban conectados internamente. El traslado fue percibido como un capricho personal sin ninguna utilidad real, especialmente en pleno pico de la crisis económica, con España sometida a recortes sociales y un desempleo del 21 %. El coste de esta operación rozó el millón de euros (según la información publicada por La Razón y nunca desmentida oficialmente): reformas integrales del despacho, mobiliario de lujo, nuevos archivadores, traslado de todo el personal del Observatorio Nacional de Seguridad Vial y acondicionamiento completo de la planta. En un momento en que el Gobierno exigía sacrificios a los ciudadanos y se recortaban prestaciones básicas, gastar cerca de un millón de euros en cambiar de edificio dentro de la misma calle para “estar más cómodo” se convirtió en uno de los símbolos más claros del despilfarro de ciertos altos cargos socialistas y alimentó durante años la imagen de Navarro como gestor poco sensible a la situación del país. Pero no vamos a terminar hundidos en el pesimismo, os voy a dar una buena noticia para variar. Y es que Aena, el operador estatal que lleva nuestros aeropuertos, ha tenido que desactivar el embarque biométrico tras recibir una sanción millonaria. Leemos en un noticia: “La Agencia Española de Protección de Datos, AEPD, ha condenado al operador aeroportuario Aena a una multa de 10 millones de euros y ha ordenado el cierre inmediato de todas las puertas biométricas de embarque. La razón de esta sanción estriba en que Aena no realizó una evaluación obligatoria de impacto en la protección de datos antes de introducir la tecnología que permite el reconocimiento de los pasajeros por su aspecto físico. Tras las quejas de los viajeros, la AEPD inició una investigación, que la ha llevado a condenar a Aena por no haber realizado la comprobación de los efectos que el reconocimiento biométrico puede tener en la protección da datos.” Desgraciadamente dicha agencia ha dado el visto bueno este mismo 20 de noviembre a las balizas V16 siempre y cuando, y leo textualmente: “estos dispositivos están destinados exclusivamente a la visibilización del vehículo accidentado y el envío de la ubicación de un incidente al activarse, prohibiendo expresamente que incorporen funcionalidades adicionales.” O sea, según ellos al más mínimo indicio de que hacen algo más dicha agencia las quitara de en medio. Sin embargo no han dicho ni mu sobre que el dominio por donde circularán los datos de millones de españoles este en manos de un tipo llamado Ivan Vega. Preparemonos para lo peor pero esperemos lo mejor. Os invito a que no compréis dicha lucecita y que desobedezcáis en masa una medida dictatorial como esta. De momento el señor Pere Navarro ya ha dicho que nos dará un periodo de gracia. En 2020, mientras todos mirábamos hipnotizados la tele y aplaudíamos a las ocho, el Gobierno lanzó en la sombra el mayor experimento de rastreo masivo jamás visto en España: un proyecto secreto del INE, la DGT y las grandes telecos (Movistar, Vodafone, Orange) para geolocalizar en tiempo real los 47 millones de móviles del país con una precisión de pocos metros. Sin pedir permiso a nadie, activaron la extracción masiva de datos de antenas y señales GPS anonimizadas… o eso nos contaron. Cada desplazamiento, cada salida al supermercado, cada viaje al pueblo quedó registrado y cruzado con bases de datos demográficas para crear mapas de colores que mostraban exactamente quién obedecía el confinamiento y quién no. Oficialmente era “para estudiar la movilidad durante la pandemia”; en realidad fue el ensayo general perfecto del sistema que hoy usa la DGT 3.0: la misma infraestructura que mañana recibirá la señal de tu baliza V16 conectada cuando te averíes… y que, casualmente, ya sabe perfectamente por dónde te mueves cada día sin que tú hayas hecho nada. El conejo ya estaba dentro del sombrero hace cinco años; ahora solo falta que enciendas la lucecita para que sepan exactamente dónde estás parado. Coincidencia, claro. ……………………………………………………………………………………….

At the Fall '25 vCon conference in Washington, D.C., Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, sat down with Dan Petrie, CEO & President of SIPez, to talk about the origins, purpose, and practical future of vCon technology. Petrie, who co-authored the original vCon draft and brought it to the IETF in 2003, describes vCon as a “standard container for capturing conversations” across voice, video, messaging, email, web chat, and more—bringing structure and consistency to interaction data that has long been fragmented across proprietary platforms. Drawing an analogy to Adobe's breakthrough with PDF, Petrie explains that just as PDF standardized how documents are represented and shared regardless of word processor or device, vCon does the same for conversational data. By abstracting common elements like parties, metadata, transcripts, and even AI-generated analytics into a unified format, vCons allow enterprises to capture, store, and analyze interactions from call centers, UCaaS platforms, and messaging systems in a consistent way. This unlocks deeper analysis—such as customer sentiment, agent performance, product feedback, and workflow optimization—without having to wrestle with dozens of incompatible APIs. Petrie stresses that vCon is especially valuable in an AI-driven world, where structured, well-labeled data is essential. “To get real value from AI, you need structured data,” he notes, pointing out that large language models like ChatGPT can only work on limited context windows and rely on upstream systems to extract, segment, and feed the right portions of conversation data. vCons provide that layer: a rich, extensible container that supports encryption, signing, redaction, amendments, and complex scenarios such as multi-leg call transfers and agent handoffs. Much of Petrie's advice is practical: don't try to build everything from scratch. SIPez maintains open-source vCon projects (such as PyvCon) and also offers a commercial vCon recording and AI analysis solution for the NetSapiens platform, giving service providers and MSPs a faster on-ramp. As more vendors add vCon interfaces and as small and mid-sized providers adopt these tools, Petrie believes 2026 will be a pivotal year for MSPs and channel partners to start monetizing vCon-based analytics and services across horizontal markets—from healthcare to customer support and beyond.

What does it really take to build AI that can resolve customer support at scale reliably, safely, and with measurable business impact?We explore how Intercom has evolved from a traditional customer support platform into an AI-first company, with its AI assistant, Fin, now resolving 65% of customer queries without human intervention. Intercom's Chief AI Officer, Fergal Reid, discusses the company's journey from natural language understanding (NLU) systems to their current retrieval augmented generation (RAG) approach, explaining how they've optimised every component of their AI pipeline with custom-built models.The conversation covers Intercom's unique approach to AI product development, emphasising standardisation and continuous improvement rather than customisation for individual clients. Fergal explains their outcome-based pricing model, where clients pay for successful resolutions rather than conversations, and how this aligns incentives across the business.We also discuss Intercom's approach to agentic AI, which enables their systems to perform complex, multi-step tasks, such as processing refunds, by integrating with various APIs. Fergal shares insights on testing methodologies, the balance between customisation and standardisation, and the challenges of building AI products in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.Finally, Fergal shares what excites and honestly freaks him out a bit about where AI is heading next.Timestamps00:00 - Intro02:31 - Welcome to Fergal Reid05:26 - How to train an NLU solution effectively?08:56 - What gen AI changed for Intercom10:57 - How would you describe Fin?14:30 - Fin's performance increase17:18 - Intercom's custom models22:14 - Large Language Models vs Small Language Models30:40 - RAG and 'the full stop problem'40:08 - Agentic AI capabilities at Intercom50:40 - Intercom's approach to testing1:04:46 - About the most exciting things in the AI spaceShow notesLearn more about IntercomConnect with Fergal Reid on LinkedInFollow Kane Simms on LinkedInArticle - The full stop problem: RAG's biggest limitationTake our updated AI Maturity AssessmentSubscribe to VUX WorldSubscribe to The AI Ultimatum Substack Hosted on Acast.

Send us a textStop guessing your way through sales. We sit down with Carolyn Miller—builder's daughter, top-performing dealer, sales trainer, and CRM implementer—to map a simple path from chaotic follow-up to a clean, scalable system that grows shed and post‑frame sales. Carolyn's Ask, Listen, Solve framework anchors the conversation: ask smarter questions that surface real needs, listen for budget, timing, and site constraints, then solve with a clear next step that moves the deal forward. From there, we translate that human process into technology your team will actually use.You'll hear concrete examples of how a right-sized CRM becomes more than a contact list. We talk automations that text prospects within minutes of a configurator submission, task sequences that keep quotes alive, and post‑delivery check-ins that trigger five‑star Google reviews and referrals. Carolyn shares a client win where automation alone revived a lead the salesperson had written off, turning it into an $800 profit carport sale. We also open the hood on integrations—connecting IdeaRoom or Digital Shed Builder to capture high-intent leads, syncing orders to QuickBooks Online to eliminate double entry, and pushing projects to monday.com so production and delivery stay in lockstep with sales.If your tech stack already feels crowded, this chat will help you make it act like one system. We cover when to use APIs, webhooks, and Zapier, and why a simple front end matters more than a flashy dashboard. Most importantly, we focus on adoption: weekly coaching, tight feedback loops, and small refinements so your team starts the day in the CRM and never loses the thread with a customer again. Ready to replace “winging it” with a repeatable process that frees your time and lifts your close rate? Hit play, then tell us your biggest follow-up bottleneck—we'll tackle it in a future installment. If you find value here, subscribe, leave a review, and share this with a dealer who needs a cleaner system.For more information or to know more about the Shed Geek Podcast visit us at our website.Would you like to receive our weekly newsletter?  Sign up here.Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube at the handle @shedgeekpodcast.To be a guest on the Shed Geek Podcast visit our website and fill out the "Contact Us" form.To suggest show topics or ask questions you want answered email us at info@shedgeek.com.This episodes Sponsors:Studio Sponsor: Shed ProIdentigrowCALCardinal LeasingDigital Shed Builder

Most software teams still think of payments as a chore. We take you inside the playbook that turns it into a growth engine. I sits down with NMI CTO Phillip Goericke to unpack how embedded payments evolved from a basic checkout to a full-stack platform that handles onboarding, underwriting, payouts, analytics, and even embedded finance. The conversation is straight talk on what actually works when you're shipping fast and scaling globally.We dig into the architectural choices that matter: start with a no-code drop-in to activate revenue quickly, then progress to low-code SDKs and finally full APIs when you need deep control. Phillip shares where platforms stall - manual KYC, fragmented global rules, and data blind spots and how a modular approach fixes these without ripping out your stack. You'll hear how compliance-as-a-service, network tokenization, and adaptive 3D Secure can raise approval rates, reduce fraud, and simplify audits while keeping the checkout experience seamless.Looking ahead, we explore why identity, compliance, and data are the foundation for embedded finance. Philip outlines NMI's unified experience that brings payments, onboarding, insights, and new services like business capital into one place. We also tackle AI with clear eyes: use it to augment decisioning and anomaly detection, but wrap it with deterministic controls so money-critical outcomes are consistently right. The key takeaway is a mindset shift: stop treating payments as a feature and start using it as a strategic lever for revenue, retention, and product velocity.If you're building software with transactions anywhere in the flow, this is your blueprint for turning payments into a competitive moat. Subscribe for more deep dives, share with a teammate who owns monetization, and leave a review to tell us what topic you want next.

Can agentic AI solve the scalability challenge in wealth management while expanding access to underserved communities? Ramona Ortega believes it can, but only with the right foundation. She explains how WealthBuild has moved from basic chatbots to RAG and now to agentic workflows that can deliver accurate and personalized guidance at scale. In her opinion, the real blockers aren't algorithms but messy data, governance gaps and enterprise-grade security. Since traditional financial services can't reach many everyday consumers, she partners with community banks to close the gap. For her, the future lies where AI, APIs and blockchain meet, opening the door to accessible and democratized financial advice.Explore the podcast → https://ibm.biz/BdbuaR

SAP is investing heavily in meeting developers where they are by enhancing IDEs, building business-aware development tools, and providing context-rich assets such as APIs, business objects, and process insights. AI acts as a teammate, not a replacement.SAP: An Applications and a Data Company: SAP must be both an applications and a data company. Customer value emerges when applications, data, and AI converge seamlessly. SAP's decades of industry expertise give it unparalleled business context, which becomes even more powerful when embedded into AI agents and data platforms. With more than 34,000 SAP HANA Cloud customers and rapidly expanding AI adoption, SAP is positioning itself as the platform where business process knowledge meets modern AI capability.The Big Quote: " . . what we need to understand that AI is our teammate. It's like asking your best friend who has a lot of knowledge, but you can ask multiple friends at the same time. Not everything is always right, but you can ask questions, you can continuously improve. If we understand that pattern, we understand that AI helps us to solve much bigger problems as a developer, and then, of course, having much more impact on real business."More from Michael Ameling and SAP:Connect with Michael Ameling on LinkedIn, or get more insights from SAP TechEd.  Visit Cloud Wars for more.

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.

AI systems change constantly. Models get deprecated, APIs shift, and what works today might fail tomorrow. Instead of trying to keep up with everything, I've built my systems for permanent adaptability. That means migration patterns that let me run old and new prompts side by side, using OpenAI's hidden Flex tier to cut costs by 50%, front-loading repeated data in prompts to maximize cache savings, and implementing circuit breakers so runaway AI costs can't blow up my bill. These aren't optimizations — they're how you run AI in production without losing your mind or your money.I'm running a time-limited Black Friday sale of The Bootstrapper's Bundle: all my books, all my courses, all formats, for $25 instead of $100+.

#326: Microservices architecture has evolved far beyond simple distributed systems, but most development teams are still rebuilding the same foundational patterns over and over again. Mark Fussell, co-founder of Dapr and Diagrid, explains how his team at Microsoft identified this repetitive reinvention problem and created a solution that abstracts away the complexity of service discovery, messaging, state management, and security while providing true cloud portability. Dapr emerged from Microsoft's Azure incubations team with a clear mission: stop forcing developers to rebuild distributed systems patterns from scratch. The runtime provides standardized APIs for common microservices needs while allowing teams to swap underlying infrastructure components without changing application code. Whether using Kafka, RabbitMQ, Redis, or cloud-native messaging services, developers write against consistent APIs while platform teams maintain control over infrastructure choices. The conversation covers Dapr's journey from Microsoft internal project to CNCF graduated status, the technical decisions behind its multi-language approach, and how it integrates with existing frameworks like Spring Boot and .NET. Mark also discusses Diagrid's platform play around durable workflows and the emerging role of Dapr in AI agent development. Darin and Viktor explore the practical adoption challenges, the balance between developer productivity and platform engineering concerns, and why experienced developers tend to embrace abstraction layers more readily than those building their first distributed systems.   Mark's contact information: X: https://x.com/mfussell LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mfussell/   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/
