This is a special episode, highlighting a session from ELC Annual 2025! The true promise of AI isn't in replicating human intelligence. It's in developing entirely new forms of non-human intelligence that perceive and understand the world in fundamentally different ways. Jamie Lien (Co-Founder and Chief Scientist @ Archetype AI) and Rashi Agarwal (Head of AI Engineering @ GoodLeap) explore the emergence of "Physical AI" - machines that sense the world through modalities beyond human biology to form internal representations free from our biases. This means building machines that can directly sense the physical world through modalities beyond human biology, form their own internal representations and interpretations free from our biases, and then translate that understanding back to us in human terms. ABOUT JAIME LIENJaime Lien, Ph.D. is Co-Founder and Chief Scientist at Archetype AI, a pioneering startup advancing Physical AI, artificial intelligence that understands the real world through real-time sensor data fusion.With over a dacade of experience in radar-based sensing, signal processing, and hardware engineering, Jaime's career bridges cutting-edge research and consumer-ready innovation. Before Archetype, she led radar sensing development for Google ATAP's Project Soli and contributed wireless communication and localization expertise at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. ABOUT RASHI AGRAWALRashi Agrawal is Head of AI Engineering at GoodLeap, where she leads enterprise-wide AI initiatives that deliver real business impact. An accomplished speaker, she covers the latest in AI, including context engineering, evaluations, and multi-agent collaboration, while driving Applied AI innovation in the enterprise. Previously, she scaled engineering teams at Yahoo, advancing its multibillion-dollar advertising business. A passionate world traveler to 40+ countries, Rashi brings global perspective and energy to her leadership and storytelling. SHOW NOTES:Archetype AI's mission: Building a foundation model for physical reality (2:24)The potential for discovery: Using AI to observe phenomena humans cannot perceive (3:36)Augmentation vs. Replacement: Giving humans "superpowers" rather than automating them away (5:48)The "Perfect Storm" for Physical AI: Transformers, self-supervised learning, and commodity sensors (6:04)Defining “Non-Human Intelligence” and removing the constraints of human labels (8:34)Why language is inherently lossy and insufficient for true physical understanding (10:28)Real-world application: How Physical AI aids safety decision-making in the solar industry (12:35)Use case: Improving pedestrian safety and traffic signaling in Bellevue (14:51)The biggest engineering leadership challenge: Embracing the “messiness” of real-world data (16:21)Q&A: Why we shouldn't teach AI physical laws, but let it discover them (18:50)Q&A: Validating models when there is a defined ground truth vs. subjective language (20:49)Q&A: Compute requirements and the future of active learning at the edge (22:05) LINKS AND RESOURCESVideo version of Jaime and Rashi's session at ELC Annual 2025 This episode wouldn't have been possible without the help of our incredible production team:Patrick Gallagher - Producer & Co-HostJerry Li - Co-HostNoah Olberding - Associate Producer, Audio & Video Editor https://www.linkedin.com/in/noah-olberding/Dan Overheim - Audio Engineer, Dan's also an avid 3D printer - https://www.bnd3d.com/Ellie Coggins Angus - Copywriter, Check out her other work at https://elliecoggins.com/about/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Spring Lake Church – BellevueSermon: What More Do You Need?Teacher: Arlen ChastainPassages: John 8:12-30In “What More Do You Need?” Pastor Arlen Chastain walks through John 8:12–30, where Jesus declares Himself the light of the world and the One sent by the Father. Though the Pharisees demand more proof, Jesus reveals that His words, His works, and the Father's own testimony confirm His identity. He warns that unbelief leads to dying in sin, but faith leads to life. The question remains for us today: What more do we need to believe?springlakechurch.org | springlakechurch.org/give | springlakechurch.org/prayer

Imbissstand-Betreiber am Zürcher Bellevue geben nicht auf, Movetia setzt auch aufs Tessin, Gewerbemuseum Winterthur zeigt: «Glitzer»

Neuneinhalb Jahre hat uns das Popkultur-Phänomen "Stranger Things" begleitet. Nun geht die Netflix-Serie, die viele Rekorde brach, zu Ende. Wir ziehen ein Fazit auf Basis der ersten vier Folgen von Staffel 5. Mit der Serie "House of Bellevue" (ZDF) tauchen wir in die Berliner Ballroom-Kultur ein. "I Am the Greatest" (ARTE und ZDF) ist ein Episodenfilm, der auf verschiedenen Filmfestivals für Furore sorgte. Jan und Eric können dies gut verstehen und erklären, was so gut daran ist. Außerdem haben wir die israelische Serie "Fireflies" bei Paramount+ geschaut. Sie versucht, das Mystery-Genre mit neuen Ideen, Schauplätzen und ungewöhnlichen Figuren zu beleben. Alles zu hören in Folge 85 von "Och eine noch! Der Streaming-Podcast" mit Jan Freitag und Eric Leimann.

In forming a [vital] group, the first step is to get a companion. The second step is to pray together and fellowship together in order to know each other in a thorough and intimate way. After this, the Lord may lead you to pray for a period of time. After praying for two weeks, you may be ready, and the Lord may lead you to go out to visit people. (Witness Lee, Fellowship concerning the Urgent Need of the Vital Groups, p. 377, Living Stream Ministry)This week we continue the series titled, “Revival and Vitality”, with testimonies from brothers and sisters on being revived and living a life of vitality. These testimonies were given during a gathering for working saints at the 2024 Memorial Day Conference in Bellevue, WA.The original recording can be found at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5fRTZ5LrrQ

Joshua Close v. City of Bellevue Iowa

In 2023, Bellevue organizer Mubarak Elamin made the decision to bring his mother to the United States. At the time, she was living in Sudan, where a brutal war had broken out between the country’s army, the Sudanese Armed Forces, and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. The situation deteriorated into what the U.N. has called one of the world’s largest humanitarian crises. Thousands have been killed and millions displaced. Some regions are suffering from famine. In January, the United States declared Sudan was experiencing a genocide. And despite this upheaval, Mubarak says it seems like a lot of people don’t know what's going on in Sudan.

In this episode of The Articulate Fly fly fishing podcast, host Marvin Cash connects with Mac Brown from Mac Brown Fly Fish in Bryson City, North Carolina, for another Casting Angles segment exploring an often-overlooked winter fishing strategy: dry fly fishing in cold weather conditions. Mac reveals why winter dry fly fishing deserves more attention, particularly in the Great Smoky Mountains where low, clear water and selective trout make stealth presentations with dries surprisingly effective. The discussion covers critical winter hatches including midges, blue wing olives and October caddis, with Mac emphasizing that BWOs in the Smokies are exceptionally small—requiring size 30 patterns for selective fish rather than the typical size 18 parachutes many anglers default to. Both anglers share insights on dry dropper techniques for precision nymphing in skinny winter water, explaining how light rigs allow far more accurate presentations than indicator setups when targeting specific fish. Mac reflects on how his most memorable catches throughout his guiding career have come on dry flies during fall and winter, challenging the modern trend toward nymph-only approaches. The conversation also touches on late-winter black stonefly hatches and Mac's upcoming 2026 fly fishing show schedule including Boston, Edison, Denver, Bellevue, Pleasanton and Lancaster.Related ContentS7, Ep 28 - Warming Waters and Active Fish: A Spring Fishing Update with Mac BrownS6, Ep 130 - Casting in Color: Mac Brown's Fall Fly Fishing StrategiesS6, Ep 141 - Mastering Cold Weather Fly Fishing with Mac BrownS6, Ep 145 - Navigating Winter Waters: Unconventional Strategies with Mac BrownAll Things Social MediaFollow Mac on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube.Support the Show Shop on AmazonBecome a Patreon PatronSubscribe to the PodcastSubscribe to the podcast in the podcatcher of your choice.Advertise on the PodcastIs our community a good fit for your brand?

November 3, 2025 | Bellevue's senior pastor Ben Mandrell urges students to “change their major” to a lifelong triple-major from Micah 6:8—do the right thing (seek justice), forgive freely (love mercy), and stay in step with God (walk humbly). Drawing from Judah's hollow religiosity, a seventh-grade trophy confession he wishes he'd made, Clara Barton's practiced amnesia toward offenses, and a two-dog walking metaphor for God's timing, Ben challenges listeners to make wrongs right, pray for those who've hurt them, and calibrate their pace to God's daily companionship.

Seattle just learned what happens when you bite the hand that feeds you – and it's not pretty. Amazon's latest layoffs hit Seattle hardest, with 1,887 out of 2,300 Washington state cuts coming from the Emerald City. Coincidence? Not when you're slapping your biggest employer with a 2.5% payroll tax while they're already planning their escape to business-friendly Bellevue.We break down how Seattle's anti-business policies are driving away the golden goose, leaving thousands of workers jobless and the city scrambling to fill budget holes. From the jumpstart payroll tax to sky-high costs that make even Uber rides painful, Seattle's socialist experiment is playing out exactly as you'd expect – with companies voting with their feet and taking jobs elsewhere.Think this is coincidence, or are we watching cause and effect in real time? How long before other cities learn from Seattle's expensive mistakes? Like and subscribe if you're tired of politicians pretending their policies don't have consequences – because we're just getting started exposing this madness.

Chris visited SNAP! Productions during their rehearsals and spoke to three of the actors from their upcoming musical "Spring Awakening."  We spoke to Jamie Orton who plays Wendla, Jaden Nguyen, Melchior, and Peyton Casey, who plays Moritz. This play was originally written back in 1891 in Germany by Frank Wedekind.  It has been a controversial drama about the consequences of sexual and religious repression on teenagers during that time - yet it is still relevant today.  It has been adapted throughout the years to make it more contemporary, most recently adding rock music to it (Book and Lyrics by Steven Sater and rock music by Duncan Sheik). "Spring Awakening" opens November 7th and runs until the 23rd. Industry Night - Pay What You Can will be November 10th. SNAP!

Don and Tom go after one of their favorite targets: bad actors in the financial industry—especially those who flee regulation by becoming insurance salesmen. They break down a shocking new study showing that 98% of brokers kicked out by FINRA stay in the business by selling annuities and other insurance products, often with little oversight.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson thinks he can fix a $1.2 billion deficit with... a yacht tax and charging social media companies 50 cents per user? As usual, when progressive policies create massive budget holes, the solution is always the same: tax the rich until they flee to Florida! Johnson's brilliant plan includes taxing Amazon (hello, Bellevue relocation), slapping fees on yacht owners, and even borrowing money to pay city worker salaries. What could go wrong?We break down Johnson's delusional "progressive revenue" scheme that critics say won't survive court challenges, plus his desperate moves like selling city land and merging office spaces. Meanwhile, businesses and billionaires are already packing their bags for Texas and Florida, taking their tax revenue with them.Is this the definition of insanity, or just another day in a blue city? How long before Chicago joins the growing list of bankrupt liberal strongholds?

Seattle is about to elect a 43-year-old mayoral candidate whose biggest qualifications are taking thousands from her parents to survive and busking with a guitar at Pike Place Market. Katie Wilson - a Democratic Socialist who's never held a job for more than a year or run a business - is leading in the polls to manage a $9 billion city budget. What could go wrong?We break down how this political train wreck mirrors the same pattern destroying cities nationwide: progressive activists with zero real-world experience pushing out businesses with their "tax the rich" fantasies while creating government-run grocery stores and alternatives to police. Meanwhile, Amazon fled Seattle for Bellevue, and kids can't afford housing because of layers of bureaucratic nonsense.Is this Seattle's "find out" moment after decades of voting for feel-good policies that drive up costs and crime? Will Gen Z voters learn what happens when you elect someone who can't even manage her own finances to run a major city? The popcorn is ready - this socialist experiment is about to deliver reality's harshest lesson yet.
