Michael #1: Backup Docker volumes locally or to any S3 Via Bryan Weber (thanks Bryan!), who spotted it over on Virtualization HowTo. Find Bryan at bryanwweber.com. offen/docker-volume-backup is a lightweight companion container that backs up the volumes your apps actually depend on, then ships them somewhere safe. It's tiny: written in Go and about 25MB compressed, roughly 1/20th the size of the shell-based image (jareware/docker-volume-backup) that inspired it. Drop it into your docker compose file as a backup service, mount the volumes you care about as read-only, and you're off. Push backups to a pile of destinations: a local directory, plus any S3, WebDAV, Azure Blob Storage, Dropbox, Google Drive, or SSH-compatible target. Mix and match as many as you want in one run. Recurring cron-style backups in a Compose setup, or one-off backups straight from the Docker CLI. Production-friendly touches worth calling out: Rotates away old backups so you don't quietly fill the disk. GPG encryption for your archives. Notifications on finished and failed runs (so you find out about failures before you need the backup). Stop a container during backup for a consistent snapshot using a simple docker-volume-backup.stop-during-backup=true label, then auto-restart it. Run custom commands during the backup lifecycle (great for a database dump before the file copy). Docker Swarm support, plus arm64 and arm/v7 builds. Hello, Raspberry Pi homelab. Fun aside from Bryan: he searched our back catalog for this tool and the search came back so fast he thought it hadn't run. Love to hear it. Calvin #2: Pyodide 314.0 Release PEP 783 is the real news — Pyodide maintainers used to hand-build 300+ packages. Now anyone can publish Pyodide wheels to PyPI with cibuildwheel. The version jump from 0.29 to 314.0 is intentional — it now tracks the Python version, so 314.x = Python 3.14. Binary compatibility is locked per Python cycle, meaning packages you build today won't break on the next Pyodide release. sqlite3, ssl, and lzma are back in the default stdlib — no more await pyodide.loadPackage("sqlite3"). Bigger download, but a much smoother experience for newcomers. bigint precision bug is fixed — values above 2^53 were silently losing precision when crossing the Python/JS boundary. The new JsBigInt type makes the roundtrip correct. Worth flagging if anyone is doing numeric work in a browser app. Experimental TCP sockets in Node.js — you can now connect Pyodide to a real database (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis tested) when running server-side. Blurs the line between "Python in the browser" and "Python runtime anywhere Wasm runs." Michael #3: nb-cli: A Command-Line Interface for AI Agents and Notebook Automation From Piyush Jain (Jupyter and LangChain maintainer) on the Jupyter blog: nb-cli: A Command-Line Interface for AI Agents and Notebook Automation. nb-cli is an experimental, Rust-based CLI to read, write, execute, and search Jupyter notebooks. The premise: agents are great at CLIs but terrible at hand-editing the nested JSON in an .ipynb, so let them operate on the notebook from the outside instead of running inside it. Works with or without a Jupyter server. No server? It reads/writes .ipynb files directly and talks to kernels over ZeroMQ. Connected to a live JupyterLab, your edits show up instantly via Y.js (the same CRDT Jupyter uses). Smart output format: instead of token-heavy JSON or ambiguous plain markdown, it uses @@cell / @@output sentinels with inline metadata. Less wasted context, unambiguous structure, and it degrades gracefully on truncation. The payoff is composability. "Add a summary section and run it" becomes one shell pipeline instead of six agent tool calls. And nb search notebook.ipynb --with-errors returns only the failing cells, so the agent skips the cells that worked. Claude Code tie-in: it ships as an agent skill. npx skills install jupyter-ai-contrib/nb-cli and your agent can drive notebooks via nb. Out of jupyter-ai-contrib, which aims to become an official Jupyter AI subproject. Still early (crates.io is at v0.0.5), so kick the tires before anything load-bearing. See also marimo-pair. Calvin #4: Hindsight Agent Memory That Learns AI agents forget everything between sessions — Hindsight gives them persistent memory that learns over time Simple three-method API: retain(), recall(), reflect() — store, retrieve, and reason over memories TEMPR retrieval runs semantic, keyword, graph, and temporal search in parallel for accurate results Automatically consolidates related facts into durable observations instead of piling up duplicates pip install hindsight-all runs the entire server in-process; integrates with LangChain, LlamaIndex, Pydantic AI, CrewAI, and more Extras Calvin: Clanker: A Word For The Machine **Ponytail — You know him.

You are not doing the heavy lifting alone anymore.If you are living with symptoms that seem confusing, inconsistent, or flat-out exhausting, we have a vital surprise for you. For years, the Lichen Sclerosus Support Network (LSSN) has been a dedicated sanctuary for the LS community. But we know that many of our brothers and sisters are also navigating the painful, isolating world of Lichen Planus (LP) without a clear place to call home. Today, that completely changes. LSSN is officially expanding our mission to build a dedicated resource home for Lichen Planus. Joining host Kathy to launch this new frontier is Dr. Erin Foster, a leading mucosal specialist from Oregon Health & Science University. Dr. Foster is stepping up as the head of our brand-new LP department to help turn scattered search spirals into hard clinical research, clearer tracking tools, and real community hope. Visit our new LP website at https://aboutlichenplanus.comWhat You Will Learn: Core Episode TakeawaysThe Blueprint of Lichen Planus: How this autoimmune response targets the deep T-cells of your body, and why it can show up across your skin, mouth, scalp, nails, esophagus, or genitals. The Diagnostic Blur (LS vs. LP): Why classic textbook definitions are outdated. Dr. Foster shares why hyperkeratotic LP can present as completely white patches on the vulva, mimicking lichen sclerosus perfectly and causing years of misdiagnosis. The 3-to-9 Month Medication Trigger Window: A look at how common everyday medications like Ibuprofen, Metformin, and Beta-blockers can set off a delayed immune flare-up months after your first dose. The Truth About Scarring: Why identifying symptoms early in areas like the scalp (LPP) or moist mucosal tissues is vital to halt irreversible tissue fusion and hair loss. The Systemic Escalation Ladder: A breakdown of how treatments look when topical steroid creams aren't enough, including safe pills like Hydroxychloroquine and immune modulators like Methotrexate. *Self-Advocacy & Educational Use Only.

The Counter Momentum of Spin, with Dr. Franco Musio – The US and Israel have also been utilizing cognitive warfare campaigns against Iran by virtue of their persistent bombing campaigns and the continuing targeting of the various “layers” of theocratic leaders.

Alex Pretti was carrying a permitted gun when he had a confrontation with federal agents who ultimately shot and killed him. While the Trump administration pointed to his gun as a reason for agents to fear for their safety, pro-gun groups argued Pretti had a right to carry. We discuss the rhetoric around guns and how marginalized communities in Minneapolis have been increasingly turning toward gun ownership.This episode: senior White House correspondent Tamara Keith, domestic extremism correspondent Odette Yousef, and senior political editor and correspondent Mara Liasson.This podcast was produced and edited by Lexie Schapitl and Bria Suggs.Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.Listen to every episode of the NPR Politics Podcast sponsor-free, unlock access to bonus episodes with more from the NPR Politics team, and support public media when you sign up for The NPR Politics Podcast+ at plus.npr.org/politics.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Become a Munk Donor ($50 annually) to get 72-hour advanced access to full length editions of the Friday Focus podcast with Janice Stein. Go to www.munkdebates.com to sign up. Rudyard and Janice begin the show with the remarkable-sized TACO Trump delivered this week, whipping the world into a frenzy over threats to take over Greenland. His tough talk turned into a whimper after a meeting with the NATO Secretary General and a framework of a deal that has not been accepted by European leaders. What happened behind closed doors that made Trump back down from these threats? How did the bond market play into this? Meanwhile Mark Carney's Davos speech was well received by the European elite, but what is his plan for Canada? How will he enact sweeping and fundamental change in this country that match the substance of his speech? In the second half of the show Rudyard and Janice discuss an AI-generated video impersonating former UN Ambassador John Bolton discussing Mark Carney's China visit. The convincing video - which has been viewed over 180,000 times - is a reminder of how easily AI can be used by interference and influence campaigns by foreign governments. What if 2026 is the year we can't tell what's real and what's not?

September 29, 2025 | Season 7 | Episode 36Forget the spooky stories—October's market script is more complex and more constructive than memory suggests. We open by challenging the “October effect,” tracing how volatility and returns actually stack up, and why certain election cycles—not the month itself—deserve the caution label. From there we walk through a potential U.S. government shutdown with a clear, practical lens: what functions continue, where services stall, how a delay in key economic data could muddy rate expectations, and why operational friction matters to both bonds and equities.The heart of the episode digs into a defining 2025 dynamic: U.S. stocks up while the U.S. dollar slips. For domestic investors that's a win; for overseas investors it's a math problem. We explain how currency drag pushes global capital toward growth assets—AI leaders, cloud platforms, and dominant tech franchises—where credible upside can outrun FX headwinds. Then we stage a fair debate on the dollar's next act, balancing inflation-from-tariffs, debt concerns, and governance noise against the greenback's haven appeal in a fragmented world. The conclusion isn't a hot take—it's a process: align allocations with real risk tolerance, assume your macro call might be wrong, and rebalance on schedule.We also cover near-term catalysts that could bend the tape: tariff proposals touching pharmaceuticals and the knock-on risks for generics, OPEC+ production signals, shifting trade asks across Asia, and a handful of stock-specific moves from gaming to semis and software. Finally, we spotlight healthcare as a long-ignored corner worth a second look—where late-stage pipelines and selective names may offer asymmetry even if the broader sector lags.If this kind of clear, no-drama market roadmap helps you navigate the noise, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review.

Catalyst is a Creative Industries podcast, from Chapman University. Each episode features Chapman students who have completed a Podcasting course through the Center for Creative and Cultural Industries at the university. Students who had no podcasting experience or technical ability in the genre before taking the course were able to contribute all the segments to Catalyst this season with the goal being that they will take this ‘hands-on' experience and carry it over to the launching of their very own series. Each episode of Season 14 will feature one to two different interviews conducted by CCI students, exploring different aspects of the Creative and Cultural Industries. This week we kick off the episode with Parker Dalton who sits down with Emma Bekes, a recent graduate of the University of Colorado Boulder who has already carved out a career in international advertising. Originally an Environmental Science major, Emma discovered her creative calling during college and decided to pursue it wholeheartedly. That choice led her abroad, first to Sweden for a semester and later to South Africa for an international advertising internship. With global experiences under her belt Emma reflects on how working overseas felt like a natural extension of her life. In their conversation, she discusses why she chose to stay in South Africa after graduation, the lessons she's learned about navigating a foreign workforce, and her advice for college seniors interested in building careers that cross borders. We conclude our episode this week with a segment that comes to us from Greta Kunze who speaks with Emily Willoughby.  A renowned paleo-artist, illustrator, writer, photographer, and researcher at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, Emily's work bridges the worlds of art and science, with her illustrations and research reaching institutions such as the Shanghai Natural History Museum, the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, and journals like Evolution. Together, Greta and Emily explore how creativity informs scientific understanding, particularly in the popular realm of dinosaurs, and how artists can use technology to bring prehistoric life to the public imagination. Emily reflects on her journey from a high school dinosaur sketch that went viral online to a career that blends behavioral genetics research with internationally recognized paleoart. Listeners will gain insights into her creative process, her path through both science and art, and even how scientists can predict the colors of dinosaurs through modern discoveries.

The digital landscape is evolving at breakneck speed, and with it comes a host of unexpected consequences that blur the lines between helpful innovation and concerning overreach. In this eye-opening episode, we examine how AI is creeping into spaces where human judgment and empathy might better serve us.A troubling new wave of voice phishing attacks has emerged, with cybercriminals using AI to perfectly mimic human voices in real-time conversations. Even tech giant Google fell victim to this sophisticated approach when the notorious Shiny Hunters group breached their Salesforce CRM instance. The days of obvious phishing emails are behind us – now your boss's voice on the phone might actually be an AI impersonation designed to extract sensitive information.Our special guest Nick Espinoza joins us to unpack the fascinating world of AI competitions, revealing how OpenAI's model recently outperformed Elon Musk's Grok in a chess tournament. But the conversation takes a more serious turn when we discuss government pushes for backdoor access to AI chips – ostensibly for security, but creating vulnerabilities that could be exploited. Most alarming is the FDA's implementation of AI in drug approval processes, with former employees reporting the system hallucinating non-existent studies and misrepresenting research.The human cost of AI overreach becomes clear when we explore the growing trend of using chatbots for psychological support. As one journalist discovered when using ChatGPT for couples counseling, these systems lack the empathy and insight necessary for therapeutic work, exhibiting "sycophancy" by agreeing with users rather than providing objective guidance. On a lighter note, we tackle Nintendo's official announcement that Mario has been friend-zoned by Princess Peach after four decades of rescue missions, and share the tale of a man who successfully sued Google after Street View captured him naked in his private backyard despite having a tall privacy wall.Pour yourself a glass and join us as we taste Still Austin Straight Rye whiskey while navigating the complex intersection of technology, privacy, and human connection in our rapidly evolving digital world.Support the show

"That barrier between what is “real” and what is not, when that's more fluid, I think it's that's where the fun of fiction comes in. Especially when you're writing for kids.” - Minh LêLife is full of barriers. Barriers between reality and the imagination, the spiritual and physical world, and perhaps most crucially, the ones we create for ourselves. When a barrier is a boundary, it can be a good thing. But in many cases, the barriers we create are holding us back. Minh Lê's life was defined by many of these self-imposed barriers until well into his adult life. But slowly, through nudges from friends and family and a lot of self-reflection, Minh began to learn that the only thing in between him and his dream of being a picture book author, was himself.Minh is a children's book author best known for "Drawn Together," winner of the 2019 Asian/Pacific American Award for Literature, as well as the Eisner-nominated "Lift" and "The Blur." He also authored the Green Lantern graphic novel series and contributed to numerous short story anthologies. Minh has a full-time day job and is also very active in the kidlit community, especially his work with We Need Diverse Books. He is intentional with his time and dedication and has made a deep impact on children's literature. In this episode, Minh discusses how he overcame his insecurities to achieve his dream of becoming a picture book author. He also recounts the transformative experience of writing the biography of the beloved Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh, and shares an absolutely breathtaking story about their encounter. Minh shares his philosophy on why we should all blur the lines between the real and the imaginary.***Connect with Jordan and The Reading Culture @thereadingculturepod and subscribe to our newsletter at thereadingculturepod.com/newsletter. ***Minh expands on his stories about meditation on the podcast with his reading challenge, "Meditative Picture Books."

EPISODE 1821: In this KEEN ON show, Andrew talks to Anand Varma, author of NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC INVISIBLE WONDERS, on about his lifelong curiosity with the natural worldAnand Varma is a National Geographic Explorer and award-winning photographer based in Berkeley, California. He has devoted years of his life to developing innovative techniques—even building some of his own equipment—to create intimate, dramatic and surprising images of nature. He holds a degree in integrative biology from University of California, Berkeley and uses photography to share the story behind the science on topics from honeybee health to hummingbird biomechanics. Varma has photographed numerous stories for National Geographic magazine, including the 2014 cover story, “Mindsuckers.” His accolades include TED speaker, World Press Photo Award, and Rita Allen Civic Science Fellow. Varma's ultimate goal is to spark a sense of wonder about our world. He sees the camera not just as a tool to capture what is visible, but as a way to illuminate the layers of beauty and complexity that are otherwise hidden from the naked eye.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting KEEN ON, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy show. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE. Andrew lives in San Francisco, is married to Cassandra Knight, Google's VP of Litigation & Discovery, and has two grown children.

Send us a Text Message.Along this glorious little life journey, it is inevitable that we will come upon moments that we will have to choose how to best proceed. A fork in the road, yeah?And, of course…we will want to choose wisely.  But, in order to be able to do so, we will have to be self aware. We have to learn from our own motions and motives in order to get there, so that means we first need to have a knowledge and acceptance around what in our lives we are choosing to blur.And trust me, my friends, we are all blurring something in our lives. We blur when we decide something is easy, that we can go thru the motions of it and have our minds be focused elsewhere. Bet you'll be as surprised as I was when I realized  how many important daily moments are just blurs. It's what inspired me to look at them more and share this episode with you guys.  Let's talk about the moments we blur and how we can know when we should be blurring other things instead, or blurring nothing at all. How by just changing a small focus in our day we change a lot more in our lives and our connections with each other. So, if you're feeling ready to choose, please listen on and let's see what's coming up blurred.

Britpop is back, baby! Nach acht Jahren Pause sind die 90er-Legends Blur zurück mit «The Ballad of Darren». Oder wie es Frontmann Damon Albarn sagt: «The first legit [Blur] album since '13',» und diskreditiert damit die letzten zwei Alben seiner Band. Zwei Jahrzehnte nach Blurs besten Zeiten kündigten die Jugendfreunde letzten Herbst zwei Reunionkonzerte in Originalbesetzung in London an. Damit sie nicht nur aus nostalgischen Gründen nochmals ausgiebig touren können, schrieb Albarn während seiner Gorillaz -Tour das neunte Blur-Album und bringt den Britpop in alter Frische zurück - wie «13» und davor. «The Ballad of Darren» ist Album der Woche. Wir verlosen täglich Vinyl und CD, täglich, nur live im Radio.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: The Supreme Court of the United States has denied West Virginia's emergency request to “lift an appeals court's injunction, which enabled a transgender girl to compete on her middle school's female teams until the three-judge panel reaches a final decision.” According to reporting from The Hill's Zach Schonfeld and Brooke Migdon, “Justice Samuel Alito in a statement joined by Justice Clarence Thomas dissenting from the decision said the case ‘concerns an important issue that this Court is likely to be required to address in the near future.'” Though, as Rich notes, the title of the article is incredibly misleading, you can read more here: https://thehill.com/homenews/3937891-supreme-court-rules-west-virginia-transgender-athletes-can-compete-on-female-sports-teams/ FACT CHECK: According to a misleading headline from the Miami Herald the “13-year-old son of Rebekah Jones, whistleblower who clashed with DeSantis, arrested over memes.” Christina Pushaw, a political aide for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, notes that “he threatened to shoot up his middle school and stab classmates who angered him.” According to Leah Barkoukis of Townhall, “[d]uring former President Trump's speech at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday following his arraignment in a Manhattan courthouse, ABC News blurred out the message written on his podium. ‘TEXT TRUMP to 88022' was displayed as a way to fundraise for his presidential campaign, but the news organization did not want their viewers to see…” Interestingly, the news organization did not blur a text-to-donate number displayed during a recent President Joe Biden speech.
