Philippa is joined by three brilliant crime writers — Abir Mukherjee, Jane Casey, and Sarah Hilary — to talk all about St Hilda's Crime Fiction Weekend, the unique Oxford crime fiction event running 4th–6th September. Each guest is allotted a school role (head girl, school council rep, and chair stacker) which determines the questions they're asked — and the chaos that follows is exactly as fun as it sounds.

Bruxelles a choisi son champion pour le Frontier AI Grand Challenge. Le lauréat s'appelle EUROPA, un consortium piloté par Domyn, start-up italienne encore connue il y a peu sous le nom d'iGenius. Sa mission est claire : créer un modèle d'intelligence artificielle de frontière, open source, entraîné en Europe, sur des supercalculateurs européens, avec plus de 400 milliards de paramètres et une couverture des 24 langues officielles de l'Union.L'enjeu dépasse largement la performance technique. Un modèle de frontière désigne une IA parmi les plus avancées de sa génération, capable de rivaliser avec les grands systèmes américains ou chinois. Quant aux paramètres, ils représentent les milliards de réglages internes qui permettent au modèle d'apprendre et de produire ses réponses. Plus leur nombre est élevé, plus le système peut être puissant, à condition de disposer des données et de la puissance de calcul nécessaires.Le choix de Domyn peut surprendre. Mistral, en France, incarne depuis plusieurs années l'idée d'une IA souveraine européenne. L'entreprise a signé avec le ministère des Armées, la Caisse des Dépôts, l'Office européen des brevets et plusieurs institutions sensibles. Pourtant, c'est Domyn qui a remporté le défi lancé en février 2026. La start-up milanaise a un argument solide : elle s'est spécialisée dans les modèles déployés directement chez les clients, sans passer par des clouds tiers. Pour Bruxelles, cette logique est centrale. Elle garantit que les données et les usages restent sous contrôle européen. Domyn s'appuie aussi sur le Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, grand réseau allemand de recherche appliquée, et sur un cluster Blackwell de 5 760 puces, en plus des ressources EuroHPC.C'est là que se joue le vrai prix : jusqu'à 2,5 % de la capacité de calcul du réseau européen EuroHPC pendant un an. Pour l'Europe, souvent riche en chercheurs mais limitée en infrastructures, cet accès est stratégique. EUROPA répond à une inquiétude très concrète : ne plus dépendre de modèles hébergés ailleurs, soumis à des décisions étrangères. Tribunaux, hôpitaux, ministères ou administrations ne peuvent pas bâtir leur autonomie numérique sur des outils dont l'accès peut être restreint. Domyn promet un modèle open source dans un an. Mais le pari reste immense. Entraîner un modèle de 400 milliards de paramètres, multilingue, européen et réellement ouvert, demandera plus que de l'ambition : il faudra aussi de la transparence sur les données, les poids du modèle et la licence choisie.

What does death reveal about who we really are?This week I'm joined by Professor Douglas Davies, Director of the Centre for Death and Life Studies at Durham University and one of the world's leading scholars of death, ritual, and belief. His work spans decades and disciplines — from the anthropology of funerals to digital legacy, from woodland burial to the theology of grief — and his central conviction runs through all of it: the dead live within us, and recognising that can help us live better.We talk about the ways death strips away the myth of the self-made individual, revealing that we are fundamentally relational beings — shaped by the people, places, and memories we carry. Along the way, we cover the full arc of how societies and individuals make meaning in the face of mortality.We talk about:Résumé virtues versus eulogy virtues — and why the gap between them mattersThe concept of "dividual" personhood, and why the idea of a fixed, separate self breaks down when we actually look at how people live and grieveHow grief theory has shifted from letting go to continuing bonds — and what that means for how we mournWhy funerals work: their role as social containers for emotion and meaningThe rise of celebration of life services and direct cremation, and what those trends tell usWoodland burial, the scattering of ashes, and the pull of relational placesDying alone, shame, dignity, and what COVID forced us to confront about communityDigital death platforms, online memorials, and why offline ritual still does something differentNew body disposition options, including alkaline hydrolysisPets, suicide, and the ways love complicates every tidy theory of griefFor further reading, Douglas's book Death, Ritual and Belief: The Rhetoric of Funerary Rites (now in its third edition) is a rich and authoritative guide to everything this conversation touches — available from Blackwell's and other independent bookshops.If this episode resonated with you, the best thing you can do is share it with someone.

I've covered three British herbalists so far on this podcast, and each has made a notable contribution to the development of botany and apothecary practice in Britain. This week, we're going to meet Maud Grieve, whose contribution took a different form. Yes, she wrote a lot about plants. She wrote A Modern Herbal, in fact. Yet she also contributed to the wartime efforts of the First World War in the realm of medicinal plants. She's perhaps not as well-known as the other three herbal writers I've featured: Elizabeth Blackwell, William Turner, and Nicholas Culpeper. She didn't illustrate her herbal, like Blackwell. Nor did she translate Latin texts into English, like Turner or Culpeper. But she did get people growing–and using–their own herbs. Let's go to meet her in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!

In this episode, we talk about driving into the city in 5 o'clock traffic (on the wrong side of the road, in a rental car twice the size of ours), the 30-minute Bodleian Library tour that left us wishing we'd booked the longer one, and the completely unplanned moment that turned out to be the highlight of the whole stop: stumbling into a boys' choir rehearsal inside the chapel at New College. We also get into the Ashmolean, Oxford's literary pubs, an accidental trip to Blackwell's, and everything we'd do differently if we went back.TakeawaysTwo weeks is the ideal maximum for a trip like ours.Driving in the UK requires patience and understanding of local road rules.Oxford's architecture and history make it a must-visit destination.Traveling with friends adds joy but also logistical challenges.Planning for local experiences and downtime enhances travel enjoyment. Let's TalkHave you been to Oxford?

Diversifying income streams, building community, and personal storytelling with Rebecca Blackwell. ----- Welcome to episode 576 of The Food Blogger Pro Podcast! This week on the podcast, Bjork interviews Rebecca Blackwell. Last week on the podcast, Bjork chatted with Jenna Arend. To go back and listen to that episode, click here. How Rebecca Blackwell Turned Food Blogging into a Six-Figure Digital Business from an RV Rebecca started out as a food blogger, but somewhere along the way, she traded a stable paycheck for a life on the road, running her digital business full-time from an RV! In this episode, she opens up about what that transition actually looked like: the risks she took by leaving a steady job, how the RV lifestyle reshaped her thinking about work and creative freedom, and why she made the strategic decision to manage multiple websites rather than rely on a single income stream. The conversation also gets into the community side of Rebecca's business. Specifically, how she's used Substack to build genuine connections with a growing audience of food writers. She shares practical advice on growing a newsletter, engaging readers, and landing sponsorships that feel like a natural fit. You'll also hear her talk about how she's navigating the challenges of AI and shifting search algorithms, why leaning into personal storytelling has been her biggest differentiator, and what she's learned from building community through mastermind groups and in-person retreats. Three episode takeaways: Diversify your income streams: Branching out to different avenues instead of relying on a single blog or platform gives you more creative freedom and financial stability, especially important in an era of unpredictable algorithm changes! Personal storytelling is your biggest differentiator: As AI and search engines continue to evolve, what sets your content apart isn't information. it's your unique voice, perspective, and lived experience. Rebecca's journey from food blogger to RV-dwelling digital creator is a perfect example of a story no algorithm can replicate. Community is a growth strategy: Whether it's building a newsletter on Substack, joining a mastermind group, or hosting retreats, investing in genuine relationships with your audience and peers pays dividends that go far beyond traffic and page views.

Chef George Blackwell Smith IVTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Chef George Blackwell Smith IV. In this episode, we chat about what led him to fall in love with cooking, and the taste of Louisiana specifically. Chef Blackwell Smith explains how he went from growing up in California, moving to Chattanooga, then to Louisiana, and why he went back to Tennessee. Then we discuss his company The Lucky Cajun This is a premium spice and seasoning blend company that prides itself on the freshest blends. I get the chef to explain to me what makes his spices and seasonings better than what you grab off of the supermarket shelf. We do trade restaurant horror stories before we get into the specifics of each of his product line offerings. The Lucky Cajun offers a hot sauce called The Green Boss, as well as several unique blends. Blackbeard's Smoke, Jerk, Cajun, and the Original. Chef Blackwell Smith explains his philosophy of 'the anatomy of the bite', and an ever-expanding selection of easy-to-read cookbooks. He teases some of the upcoming new products, and we even touch on some of the skills that make spending time in the kitchen a ton of fun. Make sure you check out what the chef has to offer over at TheLuckyCajun.com and follow him on social media.

Ohio Auditor Candidates In November, when voters go to the polls, they'll be voting on every statewide executive office in Ohio, one of those being auditor of state. The two candidates for that position are the current Secretary of State, Republican, Frank LaRose, and the Mayor of Maple Heights, Democrat, Annette Blackwell.

Der Markt der Notebookprozessoren ist in Bewegung: Intel und AMD erreichen mit ihren x86-Prozessoren nur noch kleine Performancesprünge, Qualcomm hängt sie mit seinen Snapdragon-X2-CPUs meinstens ab und Apples M-Chips laufen sowieso allen davon. Hinzu kommt im Laufe des Jahres die Firma Nvidia, die mit dem RTX Spark ein SoC für (zunächst recht teure) Notebooks bringt. In dieser Folge des c't uplink sprechen wir über die kommenden CPUs von Nvidia, die aktuellen von Qualcomm und was für ARM-CPUs noch kommen könnten (und welche eher nicht). Außerdem: Warum die Situation bei Linux-Treibern bei Nvidia erquicklicher werden könnte als bei Qualcomm, was AMD so plant, was Intels Panther-Lake-Chips doch ganz gut hinbekommen und mehr.

Semiconductors have moved from the background of the technology stack to the center of the AI economy. What used to be a specialized industry discussed mostly by engineers and investors is now shaping the speed, cost, and strategic direction of modern computing.In this episode of TechSurge, host Michael Marks speaks with Stacy Rasgon, Managing Director and Senior Analyst covering U.S. semiconductors and semiconductor capital equipment at Bernstein Research. Stacy has spent years analyzing the chip industry across cycles, but argues that the current moment feels different in scale: AI demand has created an unprecedented scramble for compute, memory pricing has surged, and companies across the stack are being forced to rethink capacity, architecture, and capital allocation.The conversation explains the 4 different kinds of semiconductor cycles—supply, inventory, product, and demand — and why Stacy believes the industry is currently in a demand cycle of unusual magnitude. The discussion also unpacks the distinction between DRAM and NAND, why high-bandwidth memory is becoming strategically central to AI systems, and how the physical realities of wafer capacity and silicon area are constraining supply in ways the broader market often misses.Stacy and Michael also discuss the hardware economics behind the current boom, with Michael pressing Stacy on why compute remains so scarce and how companies are improving performance through packaging and system design. Michael then moves the conversation beyond market headlines to the core business questions: who is actually paying for this compute, which use cases are generating real revenue, and whether AI spending is creating durable economic value or simply shifting costs elsewhere. Together, these questions highlight two of the episode's clearest insights: coding may be one of the earliest AI applications with meaningful willingness to pay, and inference, not training, is the real test of whether the current buildout becomes a lasting business or just another expensive wave of infrastructure.Stacy explains the concentration of power among the major wafer fabrication equipment players, the rise of ASICs as a meaningful share of AI silicon, Broadcom's rapidly expanding AI opportunity, and the growing role of Chinese companies as new entrants, especially in memory and semiconductor equipment. Along the way, the conversation asks the defining question facing the sector: is this just another semiconductor upswing, or the first true supercycle the industry has seen? Stacy believes that this might be the biggest supercycle he has seen in his career.Sign up for our newsletter at techsurgepodcast.com for updates on upcoming TechSurge Live Summits and future episodes.Links:Stacy Rasgon on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stacy-rasgon-6924963Bernstein: https://www.alliancebernstein.com/corporate/en/home.htmlReferences Mentioned During the DiscussionNVIDIA Blackwell Platform: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/blackwell-platform/High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) overview from Micron: https://www.micron.com/products/memory/hbmDRAM overview from IBM: https://www.ibm.com/think/topics/dramNAND flash overview from IBM: https://www.ibm.com/think/topics/nand-flash-memoryFurther ReadingMcKinsey on the semiconductor industry outlook: https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/semiconductors/our-insights/the-semiconductor-industry-in-2025Semiconductor Industry Association: 2025 State of the U.S. Semiconductor Industry: https://www.semiconductors.orgNVIDIA on the Blackwell architecture and AI infrastructure roadmap: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/blackwell-platform/Broadcom AI investor materials and infrastructure commentary: https://investors.broadcom.comASML on lithography and advanced chip manufacturing: https://www.asml.com/en/technologyMicron on HBM and AI memory demand: https://www.micron.com/products/memory/hbmChapters[00:00:00] — Highlights[00:00:26] — Welcome to  the Episode[00:01:29] — Meet Stacy Rasgon[00:02:01] — Is This the First Real Semiconductor Supercycle?[00:05:33] — Inside the Strongest Memory Cycle in History [00:09:14] — Can Innovation Keep Up With AI Demand?[00:11:33] — Chiplets, Blackwell, and the New Economics of Compute [00:12:37] — What Could Signal the Cycle Is Slowing[00:14:26] — Vertical Integration at the Hyperscales [00:16:36] — The Difference between Apple and Meta[00:17:15] — What is Vertical Integration Being Done For?[00:18:15] — Will other bottlenecks develop as This Progresses? [00:21:13] — Oligopoly Pricing in the Market[00:22:22] — Any New Entrants into Memory?[00:23:46] — Why the Industry Must Pivot From Training to Inference[00:25:10] — Agentic Coding and the First Real AI Revenues[00:26:57] — Groq, Low-Latency Inference, and What GPUs Cannot Do Alone[00:29:28] —-Could The Smaller Companies All be Bought Up ?[00:30:19] — Why Semiconductor Equipment Matters More Than Ever [00:31:00] — How Semiconductor Equipment is Affected by the Cycle[00:32:55] — A Long Upcycle for Semiconductor Equipment Guys?[00:33:13] — The Big Five and the Rise of Chinese Equipment Players[00:34:24] — The Effects of Geopolitics[00:35:02] — Broadcom's Quiet AI Breakout[00:40:46] — ASICs vs GPUs and the Next Wave of Custom Chips[00:41:06] — Intel, Foundry Strategy, and the Long Turnaround[00:46:46] —-The Risks the Market May Still Be Underestimating[00:49:32] — Where Startups Still Have Room to Win[00:50:39] — What the Semiconductor Industry Could Look Like Next Year

On this episode of The Ty Brady Way, Ty sits down with George Blackwell Smith, the founder of Lucky Cajun Seasoning. George grew up in Chattanooga, Tennessee, moved to Baton Rouge for high school, and fell in love with the food. Not just the taste of it, but the way it made him feel. That curiosity led him to culinary school, years in restaurant kitchens, and eventually to building a seasoning brand from scratch out of his home during COVID. George is the kind of builder who figures things out the hard way and is honest about it. He talks about the early days of navigating Tennessee cottage food laws just to get his first blend to market, spending a year trying to find a licensed kitchen he could actually afford, and learning quickly that chasing shelf space in big box stores was a lot of footwork for very little return. He made the call early to go direct to consumer and build the relationship with the customer himself. That decision has shaped everything since. You will hear him get real about the failure that changed him most. He had to close a restaurant and file for bankruptcy. He says when it finally ended, something unexpected happened. His head got clear. All the things he should have done differently came rushing in at once, and for the first time in a long time he could actually think straight. He took that clarity with him and has been building differently ever since. George also talks about what it means to create your own luck. He is not talking about wishful thinking. He is talking about the RAS, the part of your brain that only finds what it is already looking for. If you are not actively looking for opportunity, you will not see it even when it is right in front of you. He used that exact principle the day of this recording to find a new sales channel he had been overlooking for months. And if you are trying to change your luck this week, he gives you three things to start with. Read self-improvement books. Build a simple morning routine. And make a short list of what actually needs to get done today, then go do it. This one is grounded, practical, and worth your time.

The Tony Awards often celebrate the names on a show poster, but every Broadway production is carried by countless artists whose work rarely fits neatly into a category. So in anticipation of this year's awards ceremony, we're spotlighting a few of the performers, collaborators, and creative forces behind nominated productions. Allison Blackwell knows the power of ensemble storytelling firsthand. Currently appearing in Ragtime at Lincoln Center Theater as Sarah's Friend, Allison is part of the acclaimed company behind one of Broadway's most resonant productions this season. She has built a career defined by extraordinary versatility, emotional depth, and a deep commitment to collaboration onstage.  In this conversation, Allison reflects on the path that brought her back to theater after nearly pursuing law school; what it has meant to revisit Ragtime across multiple productions; and what recognition for ensemble artists means to her personally. ----- LINKS Allison Blackwell: https://www.allisonblackwell.com/ Ragtime at Lincoln Center Theater: https://www.lct.org/shows/ragtime/  The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts: https://www.nypl.org/locations/lpa

Don Blackwell is a trial attorney in Miami, Florida. He is and, for the past 20 years, has been an outspoken advocate on mental health issues within and outside the legal profession, which has made him a sought after speaker, and a regular contributor on webinars and podcasts tackling this increasingly critical subject matter.Don has written and spoken extensively on the need for a heightened degree of civility among lawyers, which he has dubbed “Compassionate Professionalism,” and, more generally, on the need for greater understanding, vulnerability, and empathy in our day-to-day interactions with one another.Don's daughter, Ashley, courageously fought and won a decade long battle with anorexia, a battle that inspired Don to become a tireless advocate and spokesperson in the eating disorder community. In 2020, Don organized the Legacy of Hope Summit with two dozen of the leading eating disorder experts in the world.A year later that Summit resulted in the publication of the first consensus-based Report and Recommendations on eating disorders in the half-century marked by Karen Carpenter's death in 1982 – a report that garnered the endorsement of more than 120 eating disorder practitioners and persons with lived experience across the country.Don also is the author of “Dear Ashley ...” - A Father's Reflections and Letters to His Daughter on Life, Love and Hope (2013), and, more recently, of Retune Your Heart – Finding the ‘”Extra” in the Ordinariness of Everyday Life, and its companion journal, The Playbook of Your Childhood Heart (2025).LinkedIn subscribers likely also know Don for his #MondayMusings and #ToDoListFridays.Don.Blackwell@bowmanandbrooke.com www.retuneyourheart.comwww.donblackwell.wordpress.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/don-blackwell-bb6361b/ on LinkedIn@retuneyourheart on InstagramRecorded at ROC Vox Recording & Production Studios, Rochester, NY  rocvox.com
