Calvin #1: Pandas Should Go Extinct Pandas' slowness pushes teams toward "Big Data" tools (Spark, Databricks) they don't actually need — most workloads never hit true Big Data scale Amazon Redshift telemetry: ~95% of tables are under 100GB, ~87% of queries touch 80GB or less — that's "Medium Data," not Big Data Polars and DuckDB fill that gap: single-machine, fast, no cluster required 1 Billion Row Challenge benchmark: Pandas took 4m28s vs. Polars 5.04s and DuckDB 5.19s — DuckDB also used 19x less memory On a real-world NYC taxi dataset (3GB parquet), pure DuckDB ran 2x faster than pure Pandas while using a fraction of the RAM Bonus: Apache Arrow lets you pass data between Pandas/Polars/DuckDB with zero copying, so trying them out doesn't mean a full rewrite Michael #2: Pydantic-pint puts real-world units in your Pydantic models Pydantic-pint bridges Pydantic and Pint so models can validate physical quantities like 4m or 12 meters instead of bare floats. Fields annotated with PydanticPintQuantity parse user input, convert between compatible units, and serialize quantities back out as strings. That closes a real gap for anything consuming API payloads, config files, or sensor data with measurements, letting you enforce units at the validation boundary instead of hoping every caller remembered them. via PyCoder's Weekly newsletter Unit mix-ups have literally crashed spacecraft; now your Pydantic models can refuse them at the door. Annotate a field as Annotated[Quantity, PydanticPintQuantity('km')] and inputs like 12 meters arrive auto-converted to kilometers Validation covers string, numeric, and quantity inputs, and model_dump_json serializes quantities as readable unit strings Installable from PyPI as pydantic-pint, MIT licensed, with docs at pydantic-pint.readthedocs.io Early-stage solo project at version 0.4, so API stability and maintenance are open questions worth discussing Calvin #3: How Libraries Run Rust Inside Python (With PyO3) Pydantic v2's validation core (pydantic-core) is Rust under the hood, built with PyO3 — this post shows how that bridge actually works via a small hand-built JSON parser Four steps to get Rust into Python: write a normal Rust module, annotate with PyO3 macros (#[pyfunction], #[pymodule]), compile/install with maturin, then just import it The parser builds a Rust tree first — Python never touches it until the boundary crossing Key insight: converting the Rust result into Python objects (.into_pyobject) is often the expensive part, not the parsing — 100,000 JSON values means ~100,000 Python objects built after parsing's already done Errors cross the boundary too: Rust's typed errors convert into real Python exceptions (ValueError, FileNotFoundError) via From/?, so callers get clean Python semantics Takeaway for anyone porting Rust in: if you're returning a scalar, don't sweat it; if you're returning a big structure, profile the boundary — that's the real cost, not the algorithm Michael #4: AWS acquires DuckLabs Thank you Dylan McConnell. What does this mean for the DuckDB ecosystem? DuckDB is the open-source in-process analytical SQL engine. MIT licensed. The IP is not owned by any company - it's held by the nonprofit DuckDB Foundation, which was created when the team spun out of CWI Amsterdam. Peter Boncz, the CWI representative on the Foundation board, describes it as the entity that holds all IP of open-source DuckDB. DuckLabs (ducklabs.com) is the company, formerly branded DuckDB Labs. Founded a little over five years ago by Hannes Mühleisen and Mark Raasveldt to give the DuckDB team a stable long-term home, bootstrapped deliberately instead of taking VC, grown to 30+ people in Amsterdam, funded by support and feature-prioritization contracts. It employs the core devs. It does not own DuckDB. DuckLake is one of three projects DuckLabs builds, what they call the Duck Stack: DuckDB, DuckLake, and Quack. DuckLake is the lakehouse format that puts catalog metadata in a SQL database instead of in files on object storage. Quack is newer - an RPC-style protocol that turns DuckDB into a client-server system where both ends are DuckDB instances, slated to stabilize in DuckDB v2.0 in September 2026. MotherDuck is a separate Seattle company, Jordan Tigani's, selling serverless hosted DuckDB. It was started in partnership with DuckDB Labs and has worked closely with Hannes and Mark for four years. It contracted DuckLabs for engineering work and contributes heavily upstream - three of its engineers are among the top 10 outside contributors to DuckDB. It also sells its own DuckLake offering. Customer and collaborator, never owner. What the AWS post changes. Amazon bought the company, not the project. DuckLabs joined AWS effective September 1, with the process concluding August 31, 2026. Hannes and Mark keep leading the team and the project's technical direction, the team stays in Amsterdam, and DuckDB stays MIT under the Foundation. AWS gets the people and a direct line to the roadmap. The license protects your code, not your priorities. Three second-order effects worth tracking: The Foundation board is the real question. It has three directors: Mühleisen, Raasveldt, and Boncz. Two now work for AWS. Commentary on the deal has focused on exactly this - the license protects the code, not the roadmap. The announced counterweight is governance: a technical advisory board on the Foundation, and opening the extension stack so extensions signed by other developers can run in DuckDB. MotherDuck immediately moved into the business DuckLabs vacated. It now sells DuckDB enterprise support, which it had avoided because it didn't want to compete with DuckLabs' business model, and says it has explicit blessing from Hannes and Mark now that they're joining Amazon. It also bought Tower.dev the day before the AWS announcement. Everyone expects an AWS DuckDB service. Tigani says Amazon will likely release one eventually, and welcomes the competition, citing Redshift's failure to slow Snowflake on AWS. The groundwork is already visible: Amazon Quick uses DuckDB to query S3 Tables and has processed over 2.5B queries with it since launching in October 2025. The DuckLake angle is the one to watch. AWS is heavily committed to Iceberg through S3 Tables, and it just acquired the team behind a competing lakehouse format. The stated plan is to use DuckDB, DuckLake, and Quack together to power a new generation of data services, but which format wins internal priority is unannounced.

This episode of Do Good to Lead Well opens with a thought-provoking challenge to the familiar refrain, “Let's be more data-driven.” Instead, Sebastian Wernicke, a top TED speaker and globally recognized thought leader, shares the importance of being “data-inspired.” Our discussion focuses on the premise that lasting transformation requires more than dashboards and metrics. We explore the subtle yet crucial difference between optimizing the present and reimagining the future, using data as a catalyst.Listeners will discover why assumptions about objectivity and quick fixes with more data often backfire and how the real edge comes from leaders willing to be curious, challenge their own thinking, and foster environments where their employees can do the same. Key takeaways include actionable methods for reframing challenges, leveraging the “five whys,” and ensuring AI supports, rather than supplants, human judgment.Tune in for an essential guide to leading well in a landscape where data is plentiful, but wisdom and culture are what set winners apart.What You'll Learn- Data-driven versus data-inspired? A key difference for transformational change.- Myth busting: Is data objective? Does ‘data speak for itself?”- Mindset shifts for better decisions.- Why psychological safety matters!- The importance of a “culture first, tech second” mentality.- Embracing human judgment in the AI era.- Dealing with data skeptics.- The (not-so) secret sauce: Data AND culture.

  What does modern agriculture actually look like behind the scenes?    In this deep-dive episode, we sit down with Brad Doyle, Chairman of the Arkansas Soybean Promotion Board and former President of the American Soybean Association,  operating out of Weiner, Arkansas.  Stepping far beyond traditional manual labor, Brad pulls back the curtain on how multi-million-dollar family farms operate today as high-tech, data-driven global enterprises.  You will discover how tractors drive themselves via precision GPS, how growers utilize complex yield-mapping software, and what happens when practical farming meets Ph.D.-level plant breeding alongside his wife Joyce.   The conversation also tackles the profound economic realities of managing capital-heavy operations, utilizing land and equipment as loan collateral, and navigating global soybean export markets. You will hear firsthand how producers beta-test tomorrow's heavy machinery hand-in-hand with major engineers like John Deere, while critically addressing the real operational limits of AI integration.    Ultimately, this episode lets you grasp the scale behind 80 million US acres, showing how farmers increase yields and why 97% of American farms remain fiercely family-owned. Whether you are an entrepreneur, an agribusiness professional, or simply curious about where your food comes from, this conversation completely reframes how technology, business, and tradition intersect on the modern farm.   Chapters 00:00:00 Highlight 00:01:35 - Introduction 00:02:45 - The 3rd-Generation Family Farm & Eagle Seed 00:03:19 - When Farming Meets PhD Science 00:06:42 - Surprise: 97% of US Farms Are Family-Owned 00:09:14 - The High-Stakes Business & Profitability of Farming 00:10:30 - Financial Risks, Bank Loans, & Farm Collateral 00:11:39 - The Generational Shift: From Manual Labor to Tech 00:15:26 - How Modern Farms Fuel Local Rural Economies 00:16:06 - Tech Transformation: GPS & Self-Driving Tractors 00:16:31 - Yield Monitors, Big Data, & Off-Season Planning 00:17:43 - The Reality, Limits, and Fears of AI in Agriculture 00:23:49 - Navigating the Global Soybean Export Market 00:31:11 - The Soybean Checkoff System Explained 00:32:41 - The $80M Impact of the United Soybean Board 00:38:43 - Grasping Scale: 80 Million Acres of Production 00:39:14 - How Farmers Increase Yields While Losing Farmland 00:42:02 - Beta-Testing the Future of Machinery with Engineers 00:44:48 - What Keeps a Farmer Up at Night?

Welcome to episode #1051 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). Dr. Sebastian Wernicke has built his career at the intersection of data science, artificial intelligence, economics, and decision-making. He leads the Data Science and AI team at Oxera, one of Europe's leading economics consultancies, and has become widely recognized for his ability to make complex ideas about data both accessible and deeply human. Many people first encountered Sebastian through his memorable TED Talk, which cleverly used data to satirize TED Talks themselves, but his work has always been driven by a much bigger question: how can organizations use data to challenge assumptions instead of reinforcing them? His new book, Data Inspired - Building An Organizational Culture Of Inquiry For Lasting Transformation, argues that businesses have become too focused on being "data-driven" and not focused enough on becoming "data-inspired." In this episode, Sebastian explains why more data doesn't automatically lead to better decisions, why confirmation bias often causes us to use data to strengthen existing beliefs, and why the greatest value of data lies not in optimization but in transformation. We also discuss the promises and disappointments of big data, the rise of generative AI, synthetic data, AI agents, and why the hardest challenge facing organizations isn't technological... it's cultural. Along the way, Sebastian makes a compelling case that leadership is ultimately about designing environments where people are encouraged to ask better questions, embrace uncertainty, and use evidence to change their minds rather than defend them. It is a thoughtful conversation about data, intelligence, curiosity, and why the organizations that thrive in the AI era will be the ones that build cultures of inquiry instead of cultures of certainty.

Recorded at the Battle of Ideas festival 2025 on Saturday 18 October at Church House and the Abbey Centre, Westminster. ORIGINAL INTRODUCTION Risk is everywhere. Taking the bus, crossing the street, swimming in the ocean, going somewhere alone. Everything is risky – and we are, in many ways, more concerned about life's riskiness than ever before. In Running the Risk: From Shark Attacks to Nuclear Disaster – understanding life's biggest risks and how we build a safer future, David Reid aims to help us navigate a world full of risks. Some risks we accept, like sitting next to a person on the Tube and hoping they don't have a virus. Some risks we find harder to welcome as a fact of life, like shark attacks and plane crashes. The unknown risk affects people differently. Some still swim in the ocean and fly on planes, while some stick to swimming in lakes and traveling by train. Some risks are merely par for the course of life, but some are preventable, and have only arisen in the contemporary world due to contemporary problems. Delving into issues like climate change, nuclear instability and AI advancements surpassing human capabilities, Reid illustrates what risk is, and how we can learn to live with and mitigate it. Running the Risk is more than a grim explanation of modern issues; it is a guide to ‘building resilience' and navigating the interconnected world. Drawing on historical examples like the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the Fukushima nuclear disaster and the Cambridge Analytica scandal, Reid masters the art of risk and elucidates how our world can be made safer, healthier and happier. Are sentiments like ‘no risk, no reward' courageous or dangerous? Is mitigating risk crucial to happiness or a barrier to it? Is security necessary for well-being? Will the world ever truly be risk-free? Should it be? SPEAKERS Jon Bryan gambling writer and poker player Timandra Harkness journalist, writer and broadcaster; author, Technology is Not the Problem and Big Data: does size matter?; presenter, Radio 4's FutureProofing and How to Disagree David Reid visiting fellow, Institute for the Public Understanding of Risk, the National University of Singapore; director, Global Advocacy; author, Running The Risk Sandy Starr deputy director, Progress Educational Trust; author, AI: Separating Man from Machine CHAIR Dr Dominic Standish writer and commentator on risk and sport; professor, University of Iowa; author, Venice in Environmental Peril?

Recorded at the Battle of Ideas festival 2025 on Sunday 19 October at Church House, Westminster. ORIGINAL INTRODUCTION After a year of a Labour government, the UK is heading for a ‘debt-crisis cliff edge', if it is not already in a ‘debt doom-loop'. Things are in many ways worse even than the moribund economy that the Conservatives bequeathed. Government borrowing, inflation and unemployment are going up. The interest rate that government is paying is also up, making the fiscal position even worse. Attempts to rein in welfare spending have been curtailed due to pressure from Labour MPs. Meanwhile, the broader economy continues to stutter. After a comparative boom in the first quarter, the economy was shrinking again by the summer. Job vacancies continue to fall, in part thanks to higher employment taxes, while the number of people on sickness benefits continues to rise. Energy costs remain high compared to competitors like the US and China. The ongoing uncertainty caused by Donald Trump's trade tariffs and conflict in the Middle East hasn't helped, but the UK economy was already weak. There has been renewed talk of ‘stagflation' – a stagnant economy alongside rising inflation. But is this assessment a bit too gloomy? As one Telegraph commentator noted in July, private-sector debt has been falling faster than government debt has risen: ‘You would hardly know it from our compulsion to talk the country down, but the UK is today one of the least indebted states in the rich world.' Inflation is still way down on levels seen during the post-pandemic energy-price crisis. The official unemployment rate (4.7% in May) was still well below the EU (5.9%), Germany (6.0%) and France (7.4%) and not very different from the US (4.1%). Is the UK economy in big trouble or have we all become too adept at talking the country down? Have we underestimated the ongoing impact of the 2008 financial crisis and the cost of dealing with Covid? Is there anything Labour can do to kick-start growth or are we at the mercy of events elsewhere? SPEAKERS Rob Lyons science and technology director, Academy of Ideas; convenor, AoI Economy Forum; author, Panic on a Plate Jon Moynihan businessman; former chair, Vote Leave; Conservative peer; author, Return to Growth: How to Fix the Economy Professor Vicky Pryce chief economic adviser and board member, Centre for Economics and Business Research; author, How to be a Successful Economist Karl Williams research director, Centre for Policy Studies CHAIR Timandra Harkness journalist, writer and broadcaster; author, Technology is Not the Problem and Big Data: does size matter?; presenter, Radio 4's FutureProofing and How to Disagree

On episode 4 of Lab Notes, Amir Zohrenejad speaks with Junchen Jiang about why KVCache may be better understood as reusable, AI-native data rather than a temporary inference optimization. They explore how LMCache and CacheBlend can reduce redundant computation, move context across distributed inference systems, and help support increasingly complex AI agents. The conversation also covers multimodal workloads, open-source infrastructure, and the future of AI systems research.

"Trust the data." That's the lesson John McCabe took from a six-week trial that ended in a record-setting $101 million jury award for two men seriously injured when a retaining wall collapsed in Hendersonville. John, principal attorney at The Law Offices of John McCabe and a past president of NCAJ, learned mid-trial that he had also won NCAJ's Founders Award. He tells host Amber Nimocks how his team scored jurors using big data analytics, why the jury needed only 35 minutes to decide 16 liability issues, and how his clients' unscripted testimony moved the courtroom to tears. Tune in for the story behind a case John says was "literally like a movie."

VOV1 - Với chủ đề mang tính thời đại “Ngân hàng thông minh trong kỷ nguyên dữ liệu và AI”, sự kiện Chuyển đổi số ngành Ngân hàng năm 2026 không chỉ nhìn lại chặng đường 5 năm bứt phá đầy ấn tượng, mà còn định hình kiến trúc tương lai của hệ thống tài chính Việt Nam bước vào giai đoạn chiều sâu.Tại nhiều tổ chức tín dụng lớn như Vietcombank, BIDV hay Techcombank, tỷ lệ giao dịch xử lý thông qua kênh số đã cán mốc kỷ lục hơn 95%. Đặc biệt, trong 6 tháng đầu năm 2026, hoạt động thanh toán không dùng tiền mặt tại Việt Nam ghi nhận sự bùng nổ mạnh mẽ với hơn 15 tỷ giao dịch, tổng giá trị đạt trên 190 triệu tỷ đồng (tăng 34,28% về số lượng so với cùng kỳ). Thống đốc NHNN Phạm Đức Ấn cho biết:Các dịch vụ ngân hàng số phát triển mạnh mẽ và ngày càng đi sâu vào đời sống xã hội, với gần 89% người dân từ 15 tuổi trở lên đã có tài khoản thanh toán. Đáng chú ý, giá trị thanh toán không dùng tiền mặt trong năm 2023 đã đạt mức ấn tượng, vượt qua 28 lần GDP. Bên cạnh đó, việc khai thác dữ liệu dân cư, định danh điện tử và tăng cường các giải pháp xác thực, cảnh báo phòng chống gian lận đã tạo ra bước chuyển biến quan trọng, giúp nâng cao hiệu quả quản lý, tối ưu hóa dịch vụ trực tuyến và bảo vệ an toàn cho khách hàng.Song song với khối quốc doanh, các ngân hàng tư nhân cũng dồn lực đầu tư hàng nghìn tỷ đồng cho hạ tầng số với chiến lược "Ưu tiên AI" (AI-First) và điện toán đám mây, ứng dụng dữ liệu lớn và AI để cá nhân hóa sâu sắc trải nghiệm, tự động phân tích hành vi để gợi ý các gói tài chính may đo riêng cho từng khách hàng. Ông Vũ Ngọc Bồng Lai, Giám đốc Khối Chiến lược và Đổi mới sáng tạo tại MSB (Ngân hàng TMCP Hàng Hải Việt Nam) thông tin về những giải pháp công nghệ ngân hàng đang triển khai:Bằng việc ứng dụng các mô hình phân tích dữ liệu lớn (Big Data) và trí tuệ nhân tạo (AI), ngân hàng cũng thiết kế các kênh tương tác riêng biệt nhằm mang lại trải nghiệm cá nhân hóa độc đáo, giúp khách hàng có được quyền tự chủ tài chính tốt hơn và tối ưu hóa hiệu quả sử dụng dịch vụ.Một trong những thành tựu mang tính cốt lõi tạo bệ phóng bảo mật cho toàn ngành là việc ứng dụng sâu rộng Đề án 06 của Chính phủ. Các đơn vị công nghệ đồng hành, tiêu biểu như Tập đoàn FPT với giải pháp xác thực định danh số qua thẻ Căn cước công dân (CCCD) gắn chip, đã dựng nên một lá chắn vững chắc bảo vệ tài khoản người dùng. Song song đó, các mô hình "AI thực chiến" và dữ liệu mở (Open Banking) do FPT phát triển nhận được sự đánh giá cao từ ban lãnh đạo Ngân hàng Nhà nước. Các công nghệ này hỗ trợ các tổ chức tín dụng tự động hóa quy trình nghiệp vụ theo thời gian thực và tối ưu hóa năng suất vận hành. Hay như nền tảng kết nối vay vốn MISA Lending - giải pháp giúp doanh nghiệp và hộ kinh doanh tiếp cận nguồn vốn dựa trên dữ liệu tài chính được hình thành trong quá trình vận hành như thông tin kế toán, hóa đơn, doanh thu và dòng tiền.

In this special Tick Boot Camp Instagram Live, Dr. Casey Kelley returns to discuss the latest developments in Lyme disease diagnosis, treatment, clinician education, and research. Drawing on both her personal recovery journey and years of treating complex chronic illness, Dr. Kelley explains why Lyme disease requires individualized care, why more Lyme-literate clinicians are urgently needed, and how new technologies—including big data, advanced diagnostics, and innovative therapies like SOT—are shaping the future of patient care. Episode Highlights Expanding Lyme-Literate Medical Education Dr. Kelley announces an exciting partnership between the Illinois Lyme Association and Carle Health to offer the ILADS Fundamentals Course free to healthcare providers. She explains why educating more physicians is one of the fastest ways to improve Lyme disease diagnosis and treatment across the country. The conversation also explores the role of the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS), including its physician training programs, fellowship process, and commitment to evidence-based medicine. Dr. Casey Kelley's Personal Lyme Journey Dr. Kelley reflects on her own experience with chronic illness. After years of unexplained symptoms, multiple incorrect diagnoses, and eventually developing POTS during medical school, she discovered that Lyme disease and tick-borne infections were contributing to her illness. Her recovery ultimately inspired her to found Case Integrative Health, where she now helps patients with complex chronic illnesses using a personalized, whole-body approach. How COVID Changed the Chronic Illness Conversation The discussion examines how the COVID-19 pandemic dramatically increased awareness of infection-associated chronic illnesses. Dr. Kelley explains that greater recognition of Long COVID has also helped bring attention to Lyme disease, ME/CFS, POTS, mast cell activation syndrome, and other complex conditions that share similar biological mechanisms. AI, Big Data, and the Future of Lyme Care Matt and Rich ask whether artificial intelligence and large clinical databases will transform Lyme medicine. Dr. Kelley believes AI and big data will become valuable tools—but only when paired with experienced clinicians who understand the complexity of Lyme disease and can interpret each patient's unique presentation. Why Every Lyme Patient Is Different The conversation explores why no two Lyme patients look exactly alike. Genetics, epigenetics, immune function, microbiome diversity, environmental exposures, multiple tick bites, co-infections, and varying bacterial strains all contribute to highly individualized clinical presentations. New Advances in Lyme Diagnostics Dr. Kelley discusses promising diagnostic research aimed at distinguishing active infection from past exposure and identifying bacterial peptides unique to active Borrelia infections. These advances could help clinicians better determine whether symptoms are being driven by persistent infection or ongoing immune dysfunction. Understanding Supportive Oligonucleotide Therapy (SOT) One of the most in-depth portions of the conversation focuses on Supportive Oligonucleotide Therapy (SOT). Dr. Kelley explains how SOT is customized using a patient's own blood sample to target specific pathogens by preventing them from replicating. While not a cure, SOT has become an increasingly valuable treatment option for patients who have plateaued with conventional therapies and is often combined with treatments such as ozone therapy. There Is No Single Treatment Order Matt and Rich ask whether every patient should follow the same healing sequence. Dr. Kelley explains that there is no universal roadmap. Some patients must first stabilize mast cell activation, while others need to prioritize infections, mold exposure, parasites, or nervous system dysfunction. Successful treatment depends on understanding each person's unique biology rather than following rigid protocols. Nervous System Regulation and Neuroplasticity The discussion shifts toward brain retraining and nervous system healing. Dr. Kelley explains that many severely ill patients simply lack the energy to begin intensive neuroplasticity programs early in treatment. Instead, she often introduces passive nervous system therapies first before transitioning patients into more active brain retraining as their health improves. She also shares practical tools she frequently recommends, including: Vagus nerve stimulation Apollo Neuro Pulsetto Neurofeedback Binaural beats Breathing exercises Hypnosis Humor and intentional joy A Message of Hope Dr. Kelley closes the conversation by reminding listeners that healing is possible. While Lyme disease treatment often requires patience, persistence, and individualized care, she emphasizes that people can regain health, improve function, and achieve long-term remission—even when recovery feels impossible in the beginning.

On today's show, Norris Howard and I are talking about the massive debate over data centers sweeping Southeast Michigan. From moratoriums to legal battles to recall efforts, local communities are raising real questions about energy, water, and land use. We also talk through the University of Michigan selecting an Ypsilanti Township site for a $1.25 billion supercomputer project with Los Alamos National Lab, the response from longtime Rep. Debbie Dingell, and why the city of Detroit's power grid makes hyperscale data centers a tough sell without huge infrastructure investment. Plus, we address the large amont of listener feedback we received after our recent primary election coverage. We hear you, and we discuss how we're bringing on more guest voices ahead of November to make sure the full range of local viewpoints is represented — as the state of Michigan as a whole voted one way, but Metro Detroit clearly voted another. Finally, we toast a Detroit journalism legend: WDET News Director Jerome Vaughn, who is retiring after many years of guiding local public radio. Norris shares what Jerome's mentorship meant for his own career. REMINDER: Our Summer Studio Open House is this Saturday, August 15, from 10a to 1p at TechTown! Come by for free coffee, free donuts, and great conversation with the Daily Detroit crew. Please RSVP on Eventbrite if you can so we have a headcount. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/studio-summer-open-house-and-detroit-community-coffee-tickets-1995592904096?aff=oddtdtcreator Feedback or thoughts?

Insurance regulation and technological innovation are often portrayed as opposing forces, but Wisconsin Insurance Commissioner Nathan Houdek sees them as complementary. In this episode of the Predict & Prevent podcast from The Institutes, Commissioner Houdek joined guest host Frank Tomasello, Executive Director of The Institutes' Griffith Insurance Education Foundation, for a wide-ranging conversation about how data, artificial intelligence, and collaborative public-private programs are reshaping how the insurance industry approaches risk.Commissioner Houdek discusses the rise of loss mitigation tools such as drones, sensors, and programs to "strengthen homes," as well as the ethical imperatives and regulatory frameworks emerging around big data and artificial intelligence. He offers an inside look at the NAIC's multi-step AI regulatory journey while emphasizing that responsible innovation and consumer protection are not mutually exclusive. The conversation closes with a call for a new consumer mindset around personal risk management and a vision of collaborative public-private partnerships to keep insurance accessible and affordable.Resources:National Association of Insurance Commissioners: https://content.naic.org/Center for Insurance Policy and Research: https://content.naic.org/researchCatastrophe Risk Management Center of Excellence: https://content.naic.org/research/catastrophe-modeling-center-of-excellenceThe Institutes: https://web.theinstitutes.org/The Institutes Griffith Foundation: https://www.griffithfoundation.org/Predict & Prevent website: https://www.predictandprevent.org/Sign up for our weekly Predict & Prevent newsletter: https://www.predictandprevent.org/newsletter/

Join Michelle Wiltse, Founder and CEO of CompanAIn, for a grounded discussion on why the tech industry's rush toward "AI-first" branding often undermines true enterprise value. In a market flooded with companies rushing to wrap basic wrapper interfaces around large language models, Michelle took a radically different path. Having previously led agentic AI capabilities and deployed multi-agent systems for major global institutions, she chose to apply this frontier technology where it matters most: eliminating health data fragmentation for companion animals nationwide. In this episode, Michelle shares why the smartest AI strategy prioritizes deliberate restraint—using AI only where it solves genuine structural problems—and how a mission-driven mindset beats superficial "AI theater" every time.

Everyone has heard about fraud, waste, and abuse, but building an effective fraud prevention program requires more than identifying problems after they occur. In this week's episode of Feds At The Edge, government and industry experts share practical strategies for helping federal agencies stop improper payments before funds go out the door.  Kim Brandt of CMS underscores the scale of the challenge, noting the agency processes roughly $1 million in claims every day. Justin Marisco from the Bureau of the Fiscal Service share how tapping into shared resources, such as Treasury's Do Not Pay list, the Social Security Death Index, and DHS databases can help validate individuals before funds are ever disbursed. Diligent's Jason Venner highlights why preventing improper payments is infinitely better than the traditional "pay and chase" approach and how the era of Big Data introduced agencies to analyzing massive datasets, while today's AI makes it possible to analyze entire datasets, rather than samples, to identify fraud risks.  Tune in on your favorite podcast platform to learn how modern technology and cross-agency data sharing are shifting federal fraud prevention from reactive damage control to proactive defense.

In the first episode of Season 16, Sabrina Szeto speaks with Nana Akua Afra Owusu-Addo, Technical Writer for the Earth Observation Team at BigData Ghana Limited and Project Lead for ForestTrace AI. ForestTrace AI is an AI-powered forest and land use intelligence platform developed through the GenAI for Geospatial Challenge. The platform helps governments, environmental agencies, cocoa sector actors and sustainability teams monitor forest change, detect deforestation risk and turn satellite data into clear, decision-ready insights. In this conversation, Afra shares how the team is using generative AI to make geospatial intelligence more accessible to non-technical users, including policymakers, sustainability officers, field teams and local stakeholders. Rather than simply showing maps and dashboards, ForestTrace AI helps users ask questions in natural language, understand what the data means and identify what action may be needed. The episode also explores BigData Ghana's journey through the challenge, the role of AWS cloud credits and technical support, the importance of responsible data governance, and the team's ambition to scale ForestTrace AI into a broader African land use intelligence platform.   Host: Sabrina Szeto Guest: Nana Akua Afra Owusu-Addo Organisation: BigData Ghana Limited Project: ForestTrace AI

Episodio 358 con Camilo Herrera Mora, economista, filósofo y fundador de Raddar,* una de las empresas de interpretación de datos más importantes de Latinoamérica, consultor de ministros y gobiernos en varios países.Pero esta conversación no es sobre datos. Es sobre el muchacho que entró a estudiar economía porque no sabía qué más hacer, hasta que dos líneas en un tablero le cambiaron la vida. Sobre *el hombre que un decano mandó a estudiar filosofía para curarlo de su exceso de números*, y que ahí aprendió que hacerse buenas preguntas vale más que tener respuestas. Sobre el que se quebró con un emprendimiento, perdió la ingenuidad académica entre las deudas, y de esos escombros levantó Raddar.Y sobre la herejía que dice este hombre que vive de los datos: *que el instinto le gana al big data y a la inteligencia artificial.* No porque el dato no sirva, sino porque el instinto —cuando está entrenado por años de mirar la realidad de frente— es todos esos datos hablándote sin que tengas que calcular.Una conversación sobre por qué *entre más entiende el país más le duele,* sobre buscar la claridad en vez de la calma, y sobre qué nos toca cuidar de lo humano justo ahora que la máquina hace todo lo fácil.Cambia cómo ves. Todo lo demás sigue.Sígueme en Instagram: @pablo.jacobsen

The massive data centers that AI needs require huge amounts of electricity and water. And they're popping up all over the state. Those data centers are likely to impact the electrical grid, electricity prices and the state's water infrastructure and supplies. Assemblymembers Rick Chavez-Zbur and Diane Papan are working to prevent those impacts from hurting Californians.     AB 2383 Ensures Large Energy Users Pay Their Fair Share and Strengthens Grid Reliability SACRAMENTO, CA - Democratic Caucus Chair and Assemblymember Rick Chavez Zbur's (D-Hollywood) AB 2383, legislation protecting California ratepayers from bearing the rising energy costs associated with large energy use facilities such as data centers, has passed the California State Assembly with bipartisan support and now heads to the Senate. Strongly supported by the NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council) and the Little Hoover Commission, this bill requires the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to establish a new electricity customer classification for large energy users to ensure the costs of serving these facilities are not shifted onto residential and small business ratepayers. "As California continues leading the world in innovation and artificial intelligence, we must make sure working families and small businesses are not left footing the bill for the enormous energy demands of large-scale data centers," said Assemblymember Rick Chavez Zbur. "AB 2383 ensures these facilities pay their fair share, protects ratepayers from cost shifts, and helps California plan responsibly for the future of our electrical grid." California is home to a rapidly expanding technology and artificial intelligence sector, driving increased demand for data centers that power cloud computing, AI systems, and digital infrastructure used worldwide. The California Energy Commission projects statewide peak electricity demand could exceed 66 gigawatts by 2040, with data centers accounting for approximately 6.7 gigawatts of new demand — roughly equivalent to the electricity use of more than 4 million households. As utilities receive increasing requests from large-load facilities seeking transmission-level service, regulators have identified significant gaps in how these customers are classified and charged for service. While the CPUC recently approved interim rules for large-load customers within Pacific Gas & Electric's territory, statewide long-term planning and ratepayer protections remain unresolved. AB 2383 requires the CPUC to establish a new classification for large energy use customers by 2028 designed to appropriately assign costs, avoid shifting infrastructure expenses onto other ratepayers, support grid reliability, and promote equitable contributions to state energy programs. The bill also requires utilities serving these facilities to enter into long-term service agreements with large energy users to help avoid stranded infrastructure costs and ensure financial responsibility remains with the facilities driving the demand. "Californians are one step closer to being protected from paying extra for energy-hogging data centers," said Victoria Rome, director of California government affairs at NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council.) "Requiring data centers to pay for their energy usage makes sense for all ratepayers and helps keep electricity affordable across the board." "This bill is an important step toward protecting California ratepayers while enabling responsible economic growth," said Ethan Rarick, executive director of the Little Hoover Commission. "By requiring the creation of a separate rate classification for large energy use facilities, AB 2383 helps ensure that costs are appropriately allocated, and reflects our Commission's core finding that ratepayer protection must be the state's foremost priority in addressing large-load growth."    

Recent concerns have been raised over the data centers proposed for various states around the country. These centers house large databases for information on citizens, devices, equipment and government conrtol. Some fear this technology leads to mass-surveillance- but of course it will.

Who knows! This episode is brought to you by Day1.Bot — asset-readiness software from The Mad Botter. You know how every business has that one workflow held together by PDFs, spreadsheets, email threads, and someone named Dave who “just knows where everything is”? In construction, manufacturing, and facilities, that mess shows up when a project is technically complete — but operations still does not have what they need to maintain the equipment. The manuals are in someone's inbox. Warranty dates are missing. Spare-parts lists are buried in a shared drive. PM guidance never made it into the CMMS. And six months later, everyone is asking, “Where is the documentation for this thing?”

The founder of Take Back Our Tech, Hakeem Anwar, is back to unveil his AI Data Center Report, which showcases the creep of technology throughout the country. His mapping function allows a variety of layers and filters to be overlaid on the United States map to see where data centers are located, what aquifers are nearby, and who owns these projects.The explanations given for the increased need for AI data centers are dubious at best, and it is difficult to understand how the public benefits in any way whatsoever.
