Brady is back on a Friday as the Mariners sit at 18-12 overall heading into Texas. Brady has very minimal, if any complaints about the first 30 games and discusses how the M's have hit every box you want checked in that time. Then, he wonders if the M's "Control the Zone" mantra has worked against them over the last few years and how they've modified it this year.And after a few weeks of trying to figure out the answer, we finally get the definitive answer on the issue with Julio Rodriguez from an ESPN personality. Then, Joe Doyle of Overslot stops by to discuss the M's and their position/opportunity in the draft.And, can we stop saying it's a "small sample size" for the M's offensive success of the end of last year and the beginning of this year?

GPT-4.1, Microsoft, Apple und Google: wo KI wirklich wirkt   Die großen Plattformen überbieten sich aktuell wieder mit neuen KI-Funktionen, Benchmarks und Versprechen. Während OpenAI mit GPT-4.1 einen technologischen Sprung ankündigt, zeigen Microsoft und Apple überraschende Schwächen. Gleichzeitig positioniert sich Google mit Gemini 2.5 Pro als ernstzunehmender Treiber im KI-Markt. In diesem Impuls werfen wir einen Blick auf die aktuellen Entwicklungen – und was sie für Unternehmer und Selbstständige bedeuten. Michael Schmid auf LinkedIn: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelschmid-ki/   GPT-4.1 liefert – aber (noch) nicht für alle Mit der Vorstellung von GPT-4.1 zeigt OpenAI erneut, wohin sich moderne KI-Systeme bewegen. Der neue Kontextumfang von einer Million Token ist beeindruckend, die Performance steigt, Halluzinationen nehmen ab. Besonders spannend: kleinere, energiesparsame Modelle wie Nano erweitern die Einsatzmöglichkeiten. Das Modell ist schneller, effizienter und genauer – aber noch nicht flächendeckend im Frontend ausgerollt. Für Poweruser und Entwickler über API bereits relevant, für viele andere noch Zukunftsmusik.   Microsofts Co-Pilot bleibt hinter den Erwartungen zurück Große Show, große Worte – und dann nichts. Vor zwei Jahren angekündigt, versprach Microsoft mit Co-Pilot eine KI, die Office neu definiert. Doch wer heute in Word, Excel oder Outlook arbeitet, stellt schnell fest: viele Funktionen wirken unausgereift oder sind schlicht nicht vorhanden. Microsoft hat sich strategisch früh an OpenAI gebunden, aber die eigene Suite nicht konsequent weiterentwickelt. Die Integration ist weder durchgängig noch zuverlässig – besonders im Unternehmenskontext ein echtes Problem.   Apple kündigt an, liefert aber nicht Auch Apple hat große Worte gemacht. Die WWDC im letzten Jahr versprach mit Apple Intelligence einen neuen Standard. Doch geliefert wurde nichts. Kein Zugang, keine Testmöglichkeiten, keine Integration in iOS oder macOS. Entscheidende Investitionen wurden halbherzig angegangen, Managemententscheidungen ausgebremst. Während Nutzer auf echte Siri-Upgrades warten, bleibt Apple im KI-Bereich bislang auffällig still. Der Rückstand ist sichtbar – und die Geduld der Nutzer wird auf die Probe gestellt.   Google nutzt die Lücke Während Microsoft und Apple kämpfen, nutzt Google die Lücke. Mit eigenen Modellen, einer klaren Strategie und konsequenter Integration zeigt der Konzern, was möglich ist. Gemini 2.5 Pro überzeugt technisch, neue Funktionen in der Suche und anderen Kernprodukten wirken durchdacht und stabil. Google erkennt die Bedeutung der eigenen Infrastruktur – und setzt darauf. Anders als bei Apple oder Microsoft entsteht so echter Mehrwert, sowohl für Endnutzer als auch für Unternehmen.     Noch mehr von den Koertings ...  Das KI-Café ... jede Woche Mittwoch (>350 Teilnehmer) von 08:30 bis 10:00 Uhr ... online via Zoom .. kostenlos und nicht umsonstJede Woche Mittwoch um 08:30 Uhr öffnet das KI-Café seine Online-Pforten ... wir lösen KI-Anwendungsfälle live auf der Bühne ... moderieren Expertenpanel zu speziellen Themen (bspw.

In this episode, Regan Archibald explores the vital connection between your muscle, heart, and brain—what he calls the muscle-heart-brain axis—and why this triad is central to aging well. You'll discover how muscle isn't just for vanity, but a powerful organ system that communicates with your brain, boosts cardiovascular health, and secretes myokines that influence everything from immune function to glucose regulation. Regan shares powerful insights on peptides like MOTS-c, 5-Amino-1MQ, BPC-157, and GLP-1s, and how they enhance muscle recovery and metabolic health. He also introduces the "Fitness 50 Benchmarks," a diagnostic framework to help you measure and improve your performance with age. If you're looking for actionable ways to preserve cognitive sharpness, heart strength, and muscular vitality into your 80s, 90s, and beyond—this is the episode for you. www.agelessfuture.com

In this episode, a16z General Partner Martin Casado sits down with Sujay Jayakar, co-founder and Chief Scientist at Convex, to talk about his team's latest work benchmarking AI agents on full-stack coding tasks. From designing Fullstack Bench to the quirks of agent behavior, the two dig into what's actually hard about autonomous software development, and why robust evals—and guardrails like type safety—matter more than ever. They also get tactical: which models perform best for real-world app building? How should developers think about trajectory management and variance across runs? And what changes when you treat your toolchain like part of the prompt? Whether you're a hobbyist developer or building the next generation of AI-powered devtools, Sujay's systems-level insights are not to be missed.Drawing from Sujay's work developing the Fullstack-Bench, they cover:Why full-stack coding is still a frontier task for autonomous agentsHow type safety and other “guardrails” can significantly reduce variance and failureWhat makes a good eval—and why evals might matter more than clever promptsHow different models perform on real-world app-building tasks (and what to watch out for)Why your toolchain might be the most underrated part of the promptAnd what all of this means for devs—from hobbyists to infra teams building with AI in the loopLearn More:Introducing Fullstack-BenchFollow everyone on X:Sujay JayakarMartin Casado Check out everything a16z is doing with artificial intelligence here, including articles, projects, and more podcasts.

Rate/Review: a great, no-cost way to support us Summary:  The Power of Benchmarks in LinkedIn Advertising & Sales In this episode of The LinkedIn Ads Show, host AJ Wilcox welcomes Ruby James from LinkedIn to discuss one of the most valuable benchmark reports available for B2B startups—Growth Benchmarks for Scaling B2B Startups. Unlike traditional benchmarks that focus solely on marketing performance, this report integrates both marketing and sales metrics, offering a holistic view of what success looks like for startups. Key Takeaways: The Evolution of Measurement in B2B Marketing The top-performing startups are measuring marketing success beyond lead generation, focusing on sales metrics like meetings booked, opportunities created, and revenue closed. Sales and marketing are increasingly aligned, with some companies merging them into a single "Revenue Team" to eliminate attribution battles. The Growing Impact of Executive Thought Leadership Startups that integrate executive and industry thought leadership into their content strategy see higher engagement rates and stronger conversion rates through the funnel. Data shows that retargeting audiences who saw thought leadership ads converted 45% more frequently than those who only saw traditional brand ads. Low-lift, high-impact content (such as quick takes from executives) performs better than highly produced videos. The Shift to an ABM (Account-Based Marketing) Strategy Early-stage startups have increased ABM adoption by 30% in just two years. More companies are leveraging LinkedIn's ABM tools, dynamically integrating CRM data and intent signals from platforms like G2 to refine their targeting. Successful startups focus on pipeline acceleration campaigns, ensuring they engage buying committees throughout the entire sales cycle. Reimagining the B2B Funnel The traditional marketing funnel is outdated, and leading companies are shifting to an “in-market vs. out-of-market” approach (based on LinkedIn's 95-5 rule). Companies that engage early in the buyer's journey (before prospects enter the market) are more likely to be on their final shortlist when they're ready to buy. The "Measurement Gold Rush" Startups are investing in advanced measurement solutions (e.g., HockeyStack, Factors AI, Dreamdata) to track multi-touch attribution and incrementality. The mindset is shifting to accepting that not everything can be perfectly measured and prioritizing longer time horizons for campaign evaluation. Final Thoughts & Call to Action The full benchmark report is available in the show notes, and listeners are encouraged to read along. Ruby invites listeners to connect with her on LinkedIn for more insights and upcoming research. AJ encourages LinkedIn Ads fanatics to check out the LinkedIn Ads Fanatics community for exclusive content, courses, and coaching. This episode provides game-changing insights into LinkedIn advertising and B2B marketing strategy, especially for startups looking to scale efficiently while ensuring sales and marketing are aligned.

On the latest episode of Unsupervised Learning, Jacob is joined by two of the most influential minds in AI today. 

This conversation delves into the latest developments in AI, particularly focusing on Google's Gemma models and their capabilities. The discussion covers the differences between various types of language models, the significance of multimodal inputs, and the training techniques employed in AI models. The hosts also explore the implications of open-source versus proprietary models, the hardware requirements for running these models, and the limitations of benchmarks in evaluating AI performance. Additionally, they touch on the future of robotics and the cultural differences in AI adoption, particularly between Japan and the United States. takeaways Open source models are pushing the boundaries of AI. Gemma models are capable of multimodal inputs. Different types of LLMs serve different purposes. Benchmarks can be misleading and should be approached with caution. Training techniques like RLHF are crucial for model performance. The hardware requirements for AI models vary significantly. Cultural differences affect the adoption of robotics and AI. Robots are increasingly filling labor gaps in societies with declining populations. AI benchmarks should be tailored to specific use cases. The future of robotics and AI feels imminent and exciting.

With the brand-new year, I figured it would be a good idea to talk with an expert on the topic of health and fitness. For almost 10 years, I've suggested that if a man is just getting on (or back on) the path of self-development, the gym is the best place to start. There are a lot of reason for this but I think my guest, Brandon Mancine would agree. Today, Brandon and I talk about three types of fitness goals every man should implement (all three have merit), why a broken past does not define you, weight-lifting benchmarks all men should hit (or be working towards), the importance of intelligent lifting – especially as we get older, getting over “ego lifting,” and why now is the perfect time to get strong.
