News Emmanuel quitte Red Hat après 20 ans https://emmanuelbernard.com/blog/2025/11/13/leaving-redhat/ Langages Support HTTP/3 dans le HttpClient de JDK 26 - https://inside.java/2025/10/22/http3-support/ JDK 26 introduit le support de HTTP/3 dans l'API HttpClient existante depuis Java 11 HTTP/3 utilise le protocole QUIC sur UDP au lieu de TCP utilisé par HTTP/2 Par défaut HttpClient préfère HTTP/2, il faut explicitement configurer HTTP/3 avec Version.HTTP_3 Le client effectue automatiquement un downgrade vers HTTP/2 puis HTTP/1.1 si le serveur ne supporte pas HTTP/3 On peut forcer l'utilisation exclusive de HTTP/3 avec l'option H3_DISCOVERY en mode HTTP_3_URI_ONLY HttpClient apprend qu'un serveur supporte HTTP/3 via le header alt-svc (RFC 7838) et utilise cette info pour les requêtes suivantes La première requête peut utiliser HTTP/2 même avec HTTP/3 préféré, mais la seconde utilisera HTTP/3 si le serveur l'annonce L'équipe OpenJDK encourage les tests et retours d'expérience sur les builds early access de JDK 26 Librairies Eclispe Jetty et CometD changent leurs stratégie de support https://webtide.com/end-of-life-changes-to-eclipse-jetty-and-cometd/ À partir du 1er janvier 2026, Webtide ne publiera plus Jetty 9/10/11 et CometD 5/6/7 sur Maven Central Pendant 20 ans, Webtide a financé les projets Jetty et CometD via services et support, publiant gratuitement les mises à jour EOL Le comportement des entreprises a changé : beaucoup cherchent juste du gratuit plutôt que du véritable support Des sociétés utilisent des versions de plus de 10 ans sans migrer tant que les correctifs CVE sont gratuits Cette politique gratuite a involontairement encouragé la complaisance et retardé les migrations vers versions récentes MITRE développe des changements au système CVE pour mieux gérer les concepts d'EOL Webtide lance un programme de partenariat avec TuxCare et HeroDevs pour distribuer les résolutions CVE des versions EOL Les binaires EOL seront désormais distribués uniquement aux clients commerciaux et via le réseau de partenaires Webtide continue le support standard open-source : quand Jetty 13 sortira, Jetty 12.1 recevra des mises à jour pendant 6 mois à un an Ce changement vise à clarifier la politique EOL avec une terminologie industrielle établie Améliorations cloud du SDK A2A Java https://quarkus.io/blog/quarkus-a2a-cloud-enhancements/ Version 0.3.0.Final du SDK A2A Java apporte des améliorations pour les environnements cloud et distribués Composants en mémoire remplacés par des implémentations persistantes et répliquées pour environnements multi-instances JpaDatabaseTaskStore et JpaDatabasePushNotificationConfigStore permettent la persistance des tâches et configurations en base PostgreSQL ReplicatedQueueManager assure la réplication des événements entre instances A2A Agent via Kafka et MicroProfile Reactive Messaging Exemple complet de déploiement Kubernetes avec Kind incluant PostgreSQL, Kafka via Strimzi, et load balancing entre pods Démonstration pratique montrant que les messages peuvent être traités par différents pods tout en maintenant la cohérence des tâches Architecture inspirée du SDK Python A2A, permettant la gestion de tâches asynchrones longues durée en environnement distribué Quarkus 3.29 sort avec des backends de cache multiples et support du débogueur Qute https://quarkus.io/blog/quarkus-3-29-released/ Possibilité d'utiliser plusieurs backends de cache simultanément dans une même application Chaque cache peut être associé à un backend spécifique (par exemple Caffeine et Redis ou Infinispan) Support du Debug Adapter Protocol (DAP) pour déboguer les templates Qute directement dans l'IDE et dans la version 3.28 Configuration programmatique de la protection CSRF via une API fluent Possibilité de restreindre les filtres OIDC à des flux d'authentification spécifiques avec annotations Support des dashboards Grafana personnalisés via fichiers JSON dans META-INF/grafana/ Extension Liquibase MongoDB supporte désormais plusieurs clients simultanés Amélioration significative des performances de build avec réduction des allocations mémoire Parallélisation de tâches comme la génération de proxies Hibernate ORM et la construction des Jar Et l'utilisation des fichiers .proto est plus simple dans Quarkus avbec Quarkus gRPC Zero https://quarkus.io/blog/grpc-zero/ c'est toujours galere des fichiers .proto car les generateurs demandent des executables natifs maintenant ils sont bundlés dans la JVM et vous n'avez rien a configurer cela utilise Caffeine pour faire tourner cela en WASM dans la JVM Spring AI 1.1 est presque là https://spring.io/blog/2025/11/08/spring-ai-1-1-0-RC1-available-now support des MCP tool caching pour les callback qui reduit les iooerations redondantes Access au contenu de raisonnement OpenAI Un

https://spring.io/blog/2025/11/05/spring-grpc-next-steps Spring gRPC 1.0 arrive prochainement avec support de Spring Boot 4 L'intégration dans Spring Boot 4.0 est reportée, prévue pour Spring Boot 4.1 Les coordonnées Maven restent sous org.springframework.grpc pour la version 1.0 Le jar spring-grpc-test est renommé en spring-grpc-test-spring-boot-autoconfigure Les packages d'autoconfiguration changent de nom nécessitant de modifier les imports Les dépendances d'autoconfiguration seront immédiatement dépréciées après la release 1.0 Migration minimale attendue pour les projets utilisant déjà la version 0.x La version 1.0.0-RC1 sera publiée dès que possible avant la version finale Spring arrete le support reactif d'Apache Pulsar https://spring.io/blog/2025/10/29/spring-pulsar-reactive-discontinued logique d'évaluer le temps passé vs le nombre d'utilisateurs c'est cependant une tendance qu'on a vu s'accélerer Spring 7 est sorti https://spring.io/blog/2025/11/13/spring-framework-7-0-general-availability Infrastructure Infinispan 16.0 https://infinispan.org/blog/2025/11/10/infinispan-16-0 Ajout majeur : migration en ligne sans interruption pour les nœuds d'un cluster (rolling upgrades) (infinispan.org) Messages de clustering refaits avec Protocol Buffers + ProtoStream : meilleure compatibilité, schéma évolutif garanti (infinispan.org) Console Web améliorée API dédiée de gestion des schémas (SchemasAdmin) pour gérer les schémas ProtoStream à distance (infinispan.org) Module de requête (query) optimisé : support complet des agrégations (sum, avg …) dans les requêtes indexées en cluster grâce à l'intégration de Hibernate Search 8.1 (infinispan.org) Serveur : image conteneur minimalisée pour réduire la surface d'attaque (infinispan.org) démarrage plus rapide grâce à séparation du démarrage cache/serveur (infinispan.org) caches pour connecteurs (Memcached, RESP) créés à la demande (on-demand) et non à l'initiaton automatique (infinispan.org) moteur Lua 5.1 mis à jour avec corrections de vulnérabilités et opérations dangereuses désactivées (infinispan.org) Support JDK : version minimale toujours JDK 17 (infinispan.org) prise en charge des threads virtuels (virtual threads) et des fonctionnalités AOT (Ahead-of-Time) de JDK plus récentes (infinispan.org) Web Javelit, une nouvelle librairie Java inspirée de Streamlit pour faire facilement et rapidement des petites interfaces web https://glaforge.dev/posts/2025/10/24/javelit-to-create-quick-interactive-app-frontends-in-java/ Site web du projet : https://javelit.io/ Javelit : outil pour créer rapidement des applications de données (mais pas que) en Java. Simplifie le développement : élimine les tracas du frontend et de la gestion des événements. Transforme une classe Java en application web en quelques minutes. Inspiré par la simplicité de Streamlit de l'écosystème Python (ou Gradio et Mesop), mais pour Java. Développement axé sur la logique : pas de code standard répétitif (boilerplate), rechargement à chaud. Interactions faciles : les widgets retournent directement leur valeur, sans besoin de HTML/CSS/JS ou gestion d'événements. Déploiement flexible : applications autonomes ou intégrables dans des frameworks Java (Spring, Quarkus, etc.). L'article de Guillaume montre comment créer une petite interface pour créer et modifier des images avec le modèle génératif Nano Banana Un deuxième article montre comment utiliser Javelit pour créer une interface de chat avec LangChain4j https://glaforge.dev/posts/2025/10/25/creating-a-javelit-chat-interface-for-langchain4j/ Améliorer l'accessibilité avec les applis JetPack Compose https://blog.ippon.fr/2025/10/29/rendre-son-application-accessible-avec-jetpack-compose/ TalkBack est le lecteur d'écran Android qui vocalise les éléments sélectionnés pour les personnes malvoyantes Accessibility Scanner et les outils Android Studio détectent automatiquement les problèmes d'accessibilité statiques Les images fonctionnelles doivent avoir un contentDescription, les images décoratives contentDescription null Le contraste minimum requis est de 4.5:1 pour le texte normal et 3:1 pour le texte large ou les icônes Les zones cliquables doivent mesurer au minimum 48dp x 48dp pour faciliter l'interaction Les formulaires nécessitent des labels visibles permanents et non de simples placeholders qui disparaissent Modifier.semantics permet de définir l'arbre sémantique lu par les lecteurs d'écran Les propriétés mergeDescendants et traversalIndex contrôlent l'ordre et le regroupement de la lecture Diriger le navigateur Chrome avec le modèle Gemini Computer Use https://glaforge.dev/posts/2025/11/03/driving-a-web-browser-with-gemini-computer-use-model-in-java/ Objectif : Automatiser la navigation web en Java avec le modèle "Computer Use" de Gemini 2.5 Pro. Modèle "Computer Use" : Gemini analyse des captures d'écran et génère des actions d'interface (clic, saisie, etc.). Outils : Gemini API, Java, Playwright (pour l'interaction navigateur). Fonctionnement : Boucle agent où Gemini reçoit une capture, propose une action, Playwright l'exécute, puis une nouvelle capture est envoyée à Gemini. Implémentation clé : Toujours envoyer une capture d'écran à Gemini après chaque action pour qu'il comprenne l'état actuel. Défis : Lenteur, gestion des CAPTCHA et pop-ups (gérables). Potentiel : Automatisation des tâches web répétitives, création d'agents autonomes. Data et Intelligence Artificielle Apicurio ajoute le support de nouveaux schema sans reconstruire Apicurio https://www.apicur.io/blog/2025/10/27/custom-artifact-types Apicurio Registry 3.1.0 permet d'ajouter des types d'artefacts personnalisés au moment du déploiement sans recompiler le projet Supporte nativement OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, Avro, JSON Schema, Protobuf, GraphQL, WSDL et XSD Trois approches d'implémentation disponibles : classes Java pour la performance maximale, JavaScript/TypeScript pour la facilité de développement, ou webhooks pour une flexibilité totale Configuration via un simple fichier JSON pointant vers les implémentations des composants personnalisés Les scripts JavaScript sont exécutés via QuickJS dans un environnement sandboxé sécurisé Un package npm TypeScript fournit l'autocomplétion et la sécurité de type pour le développement Six composants optionnels configurables : détection automatique de type, validation, vérification de compatibilité, canonicalisation, déréférencement et recherche de références Cas d'usage typiques : formats propriétaires internes, support RAML, formats legacy comme WADL, schémas spécifiques à un domaine métier Déploiement simple via Docker en montant les fichiers de configuration et scripts comme volumes Les performances varient selon l'approche : Java offre les meilleures performances, JavaScript un bon équilibre, webhooks la flexibilité maximale Le truc interessant c'est que c'est Quarkus based et donc demandait le rebuilt donc pour eviter cela, ils ont ajouter QuickJS via Chicorey un moteur WebAssembly GPT 5.1 pour les développeurs est sorti. https://openai.com/index/gpt-5-1-for-developers/ C'est le meilleur puisque c'est le dernier :slightly_smiling_face: Raisonnement Adaptatif et Efficace : GPT-5.1 ajuste dynamiquement son temps de réflexion en fonction de la complexité de la tâche, le rendant nettement plus rapide et plus économique en jetons pour les tâches simples, tout en maintenant des performances de pointe sur les tâches difficiles. Nouveau Mode « Sans Raisonnement » : Un mode (reasoning_effort='none') a été introduit pour les cas d'utilisation sensibles à la latence, permettant une réponse plus rapide avec une intelligence élevée et une meilleure exécution des outils. Cache de Prompt Étendu : La mise en cache des invites est étendue jusqu'à 24 heures (contre quelques minutes auparavant), ce qui réduit la latence et le coût pour les interactions de longue durée (chats multi-tours, sessions de codage). Les jetons mis en cache sont 90 % moins chers. Améliorations en Codage : Le modèle offre une meilleure personnalité de codage, une qualité de code améliorée et de meilleures performances sur les tâches d'agenticité de code, atteignant 76,3 % sur SWE-bench Verified. Nouveaux Outils pour les Développeurs : Deux nouveaux outils sont introduits ( https://cookbook.openai.com/examples/build_a_coding_agent_with_gpt-5.1 ) : L'outil apply_patch pour des modifications de code plus fiables via des diffs structurés. L'outil shell qui permet au modèle de proposer et d'exécuter des commandes shell sur une machine locale, facilitant les boucles d'inspection et d'exécution. Disponibilité : GPT-5.1 (ainsi que les modèles gpt-5.1-codex) est disponible pour les développeurs sur toutes les plateformes API payantes, avec les mêmes tarifs et limites de débit que GPT-5. Comparaison de similarité d'articles et de documents avec les embedding models https://glaforge.dev/posts/2025/11/12/finding-related-articles-with-vector-embedding-models/ Principe : Convertir les articles en vecteurs numériques ; la similarité sémantique est mesurée par la proximité de ces vecteurs. Démarche : Résumé des articles via Gemini-2.5-flash. Conversion des résumés en vecteurs (embeddings) par Gemini-embedding-001. Calcul de la similarité entre vecteurs par similarité cosinus. Affichage des 3 articles les plus pertinents (>0.75) dans le frontmatter Hugo. Bilan : Approche "résumé et embedding" efficace, pragmatique et améliorant l'engagement des lecteurs. Outillage Composer : Nouveau modèle d'agent rapide pour l'ingénierie logicielle - https://cursor.com/blog/composer Composer est un modèle d'agent conçu pour l'ingénierie logicielle qui génère du code quatre fois plus rapidement que les modèles similaires Le modèle est entraîné sur de vrais défis d'ingénierie logicielle dans de grandes bases de code avec accès à des outils de recherche et d'édition Il s'agit d'un modèle de type mixture-of-experts optimisé pour des réponses interactives et rapides afin de maintenir le flux de développement L'entraînement utilise l'apprentissage par renforcement dans divers environnements de développement avec des outils comme la lecture de fichiers, l'édition, les commandes terminal et la recherche sémantique Cursor Bench est un benchmark d'évaluation basé sur de vraies demandes d'ingénieurs qui mesure la correction et le respect des abstractions du code existant Le modèle apprend automatiquement des comportements utiles comme effectuer des recherches complexes, corriger les erreurs de linter et écrire des tests unitaires L'infrastructure d'entraînement utilise PyTorch et Ray avec des kernels MXFP8 pour entraîner sur des milliers de GPUs NVIDIA Le système exécute des centaines de milliers d'environnements de codage sandboxés concurrents dans le cloud pour l'entraînement Composer est déjà utilisé quotidiennement par les développeurs de Cursor pour leur propre travail Le modèle se positionne juste derrière GPT-5 et Sonnet 4.5 en termes de performance sur les benchmarks internes Rex sur l'utilisation de l'IA pour les développeurs, un gain de productivité réel et des contextes adaptés https://mcorbin.fr/posts/2025-10-17-genai-dev/ Un développeur avec 18 ans d'expérience partage son retour sur l'IA générative après avoir changé d'avis Utilise exclusivement Claude Code dans le terminal pour coder en langage naturel Le "vibe coding" permet de générer des scripts et interfaces sans regarder le code généré Génération rapide de scripts Python pour traiter des CSV, JSON ou créer des interfaces HTML Le mode chirurgien résout des bugs complexes en one-shot, exemple avec un plugin Grafana fixé en une minute Pour le code de production, l'IA génère les couches repository, service et API de manière itérative, mais le dev controle le modele de données Le développeur relit toujours le code et ajuste manuellement ou via l'IA selon le besoin L'IA ne remplacera pas les développeurs car la réflexion, conception et expertise technique restent essentielles La construction de produits robustes, scalables et maintenables nécessite une expérience humaine L'IA libère du temps sur les tâches répétitives et permet de se concentrer sur les aspects complexes ce que je trouve interessant c'est la partie sur le code de prod effectivement, je corrige aussi beaucoup les propositions de l'IA en lui demandant de faire mieux dans tel ou tel domaine Sans guide, tout cela serait perdu Affaire a suivre un article en parallele sur le métier de designer https://blog.ippon.fr/2025/11/03/lia-ne-remplace-pas-un-designer-elle-amplifie-la-difference-entre-faire-et-bien-faire/ Plus besoin de se rappeler les racourcis dans IntelliJ idea avec l'universal entry point https://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2025/11/universal-entry-point-a-single-entry-point-for-context-aware-coding-assistance/ IntelliJ IDEA introduit Command Completion, une nouvelle façon d'accéder aux actions de l'IDE directement depuis l'éditeur Fonctionne comme la complétion de code : tapez point (.) pour voir les actions contextuelles disponibles Tapez double point (..) pour filtrer et n'afficher que les actions disponibles Propose des corrections, refactorings, génération de code et navigation selon le contexte Complète les fonctionnalités existantes sans les remplacer : raccourcis, Alt+Enter, Search Everywhere Facilite la découverte des fonctionnalités de l'IDE sans interrompre le flux de développement En Beta dans la version 2025.2, sera activé par défaut dans 2025.3 Support actuel pour Java et Kotlin, avec actions spécifiques aux frameworks comme Spring et Hibernate Homebrew, package manage pour macOS et Linux passe en version 5 https://brew.sh/2025/11/12/homebrew-5.0.0/ Téléchargements Parallèles par Défaut : Le paramètre HOMEBREW_DOWNLOAD_CONCURRENCY=auto est activé par défaut, permettant des téléchargements concurrents pour tous les utilisateurs, avec un rapport de progression. Support Linux ARM64/AArch64 en Tier 1 : Le support pour Linux ARM64/AArch64 a été promu au niveau "Tier 1" (support officiel de premier plan). Feuille de Route pour les Dépréciations macOS : Septembre 2026 (ou plus tard) : Homebrew ne fonctionnera plus sur macOS Catalina (10.15) et versions antérieures. macOS Intel (x86_64) passera en "Tier 3" (fin du support CI et des binaires précompilés/bottles). Septembre 2027 (ou plus tard) : Homebrew ne fonctionnera plus sur macOS Big Sur (11) sur Apple Silicon ni du tout sur Intel (x86_64). Sécurité et Casks : Dépréciation des Casks sans signature de code. Désactivation des Casks échouant aux vérifications Gatekeeper en septembre 2026. Les options --no-quarantine et --quarantine sont dépréciés pour ne plus faciliter le contournement des fonctionnalités de sécurité de macOS. Nouvelles Fonctionnalités & Améliorations : Support officiel pour macOS 26 (Tahoe). brew bundle supporte désormais l'installation de packages Go via un Brewfile. Ajout de la commande brew info --sizes pour afficher la taille des formulae et casks. La commande brew search --alpine permet de chercher des packages Alpine Linux. Architecture Selon l'analyste RedMonk, Java reste très pertinent dans l'aire de l'IA et des agents https://redmonk.com/jgovernor/java-relevance-in-the-ai-era-agent-frameworks-emerge/ Java reste pertinent à l'ère de l'IA, pas besoin d'apprendre une pile technique entièrement nouvelle. Capacité d'adaptation de Java ("anticorps") aux innovations (Big Data, cloud, IA), le rendant idéal pour les contextes d'entreprise. L'écosystème JVM offre des avantages sur Python pour la logique métier et les applications sophistiquées, notamment en termes de sécurité et d'évolutivité. Embabel (par Rod Johnson, créateur de Spring) : un framework d'agents fortement typé pour JVM, visant le déterminisme des projets avant la génération de code par LLM. LangChain4J : facilite l'accès aux capacités d'IA pour les développeurs Java, s'aligne sur les modèles d'entreprise établis et permet aux LLM d'appeler des méthodes Java. Koog (Jetbrains) : framework d'agents basé sur Kotlin, typé et spécifique aux développeurs JVM/Kotlin. Akka : a pivoté pour se concentrer sur les flux de travail d'agents IA, abordant la complexité, la confiance et les coûts des agents dans les systèmes distribués. Le Model Context Protocol (MCP) est jugé insuffisant, manquant d'explicabilité, de découvrabilité, de capacité à mélanger les modèles, de garde-fous, de gestion de flux, de composabilité et d'intégration sécurisée. Les développeurs Java sont bien placés pour construire des applications compatibles IA et intégrer des agents. Des acteurs majeurs comme IBM, Red Hat et Oracle continuent d'investir massivement dans Java et son intégration avec l'IA. Sécurité AI Deepfake, Hiring … A danger réel https://www.eu-startups.com/2025/10/european-startups-get-serious-about-deepfakes-as-ai-fraud-losses-surpass-e1-3-billion/ Pertes liées aux deepfakes en Europe : > 1,3 milliard € (860 M € rien qu'en 2025). Création de deepfakes désormais possible pour quelques euros. Fraudes : faux entretiens vidéo, usurpations d'identité, arnaques diverses. Startups actives : Acoru, IdentifAI, Trustfull, Innerworks, Keyless (détection et prévention). Réglementation : AI Act et Digital Services Act imposent transparence et contrôle. Recommandations : vérifier identités, former employés, adopter authentification multi-facteurs.

Hans och Johan dyker ner i digitaliseringens vardag – från CAPTCHA och reCAPTCHA till SSO och frågan om mobilen faktiskt lyssnar på oss. Det blir både tekniska förklaringar och vardagsnära reflektioner om hur digitaliseringen påverkar skolan. De diskuterar rapporten Unga & medier 2025, där minskad skärmtid och ökad bokläsning sticker ut, och lyfter två böcker som fortfarande håller: Lärande i en digitaliserad värld och Fullt fokus. Fokus ligger på arbetssätt, vägledande principer och hur vi egentligen lär oss bäst i en digital miljö. Klassrummets teknik får också sin plats – vad är nödvändigt och vad är extra? Laserprojektorer, dokumentkameror och ljudutjämning diskuteras, liksom vikten av tydlig storbild och låg bullernivå. Avslutningsvis blickar de framåt: AI som mentor, digitala tvillingar för elever, och konceptet 2 Hour Learning där undervisningen effektiviseras och kompletteras med livskunskap. Frågan är hur vi designar undervisning i AI-tidsåldern – och vem som tar ansvar för att eleverna utvecklar sin studieteknik. Även denna vecka kretsar samtalet som vanligt kring skola, digitalisering och lite annat.

Great leaders know there's no one-size-fits-all formula. In this episode, Bill Scherkenbach and Andrew Stotz discuss practical lessons on how to connect with people on physical, logical, and emotional levels to truly get things done.  Discover why balancing “me” and “we” is the secret to lasting results—and why empathy might be your most powerful leadership tool. Tune in now and start rewriting your own leadership playbook. (You can view the slides from the podcast here.) TRANSCRIPT 0:00:02.1 Andrew Stotz: My name is Andrew Stotz, and I'll be your host as we dive deeper into the teachings of Dr. W. Edwards Deming. Today, I'm continuing my discussion with Bill Scherkenbach, a dedicated protégé of Dr. Deming since 1972. Bill met with Dr. Deming more than a thousand times and later led statistical methods and process improvements at Ford and GM at Deming's recommendation. He authored The Deming Route to Quality and Productivity at Deming's behest, and at 79, still champions his mentor's message, "learn, have fun, and make a difference." And the episode today is Getting Things Done. Bill, take it away.   0:00:41.5 Bill Scherkenbach: Okay, Andrew. We will get 'er done today. The reason I put that on there is that in many of his seminars, Deming said that, "I am not a businessman and not trying to be one." But you need to think about these things. And his approach really was to improving organizations was to put people who he thought were masters of his teachings into organizations, and they would be there full time to facilitate the transformation when he wasn't there, such as Ford and GM and a few other companies. There were a few of us who he trusted to be able to be there to get things done. And I'm reminded of the philosopher, the Asian, Chinese philosopher, Mencius, and I'll read it there. It says, "Don't suspect that the king lacks wisdom. Even in the cases of things that grow most easily in the world, they would never grow up if they were exposed to sunshine for one day and then to cold for 10 days. And it's seldom that I have an audience with the king. And when I leave others who exposed him to cold arrive, even if what I say to him is taking root, what good does it do?"   0:02:35.7 Bill Scherkenbach: And quite honestly, that's the lament of every consultant trying to get stuff done in today's world, in Western style management. And so one of the things in this slide, the framework for getting things done, for having fun learning and making a difference, is one of the two, I think, major contributions I do say that I've made to the profession of quality. And that is using this Venn diagram to be able to show that even though other people have used other terms for physical, logical, and emotional, that there usually have been holy wars being fought by people who say, "Well, emotional is better. That's how you get stuff done." And other people saying logic and other people saying physical. And in fact, I think in the last time we spoke, the three major gurus of quality were those ships sailing in the night. Dr. Deming was the epitome of logical thinking, whereas Phil Crosby was looking for the wine and cheese parties and the emotional sell part of it. And Joe Duran was looking at physical, how are you going to organize to get stuff done? Now, they all had their followers who were pretty much on those frequencies, and they reached people in other frequencies. I came up with this idea for the Venn diagram to show no hierarchy, I guess back in 1987, something like that.   0:04:49.3 Andrew Stotz: And for the listeners out there, we're looking at a diagram that shows one circle that says physical, that's interlocked with another one that says logical, and then there's a third, a Venn diagram, that third is emotional. And so those are the three pillars that Bill's talking about. All right, keep going, because you got stuff in the middle too, which is interesting.   0:05:16.1 Bill Scherkenbach: And the thing is that I based it primarily at the time in the mid-60s, there was a theory of brain structure called the triune brain. Now, and it was the limbic system, the neocortex, and the R-complex. And pretty much followed the logical, emotional, physical words that I'm using. Now, our understanding of the brain in the decades up through now, it's a little bit more complicated than that. But physical, logical, and emotional is in all of us. In our body, I mean, the latest looks at neural connections extend to your gut. And nerves are just about everywhere and connected, and that the way the brain works is still not even fully, not begun to be fully understood. Having said that, in order to get stuff done, this Venn diagram shows very, very simply that the intersection of physical and logical, I put as science. It's the logical explanation of physical phenomenon. And the intersection of logical and emotional is psychology, logic of the soul. And the intersection of emotional and physical is art. All art is is the emotional interpretation of sensory input, whether it's a great meal, whether it's a Mona Lisa picture.   0:07:27.9 Bill Scherkenbach: But what will make one person absolutely swoon will make another person barf. So it's all personal, but it's physical, logical, and emotional is in all of us. And in the center, we're looking at what Eastern philosophies call harmony, where all of these are working together. And Western philosophies would call them peak experiences. And it's where the whole can be a lot greater than the sum of its parts, but with some slight changes can be a whole lot less than the sum of its parts.   0:08:14.3 Andrew Stotz: Great. I like the harmony in the middle. That's the challenge, really. Now, just out of curiosity, is harmony the goal? Is that what you're thinking with that being at the center? Or what is the meaning of harmony being in the middle?   0:08:28.0 Bill Scherkenbach: Yeah. When I apply this to the individual, harmony would be the goal. When I'm applying it to an organization, the larger an organization grows, the more you really need to use this overarching approach. And the reason I say that is, and it doesn't happen all the time, but most of the time when we're starting up a company, you want to surround yourself with fine people just like yourself. And so if you have a particular way of getting stuff done, you're going to hire people or surround yourself with people that are just like that, and everything is fine. But the more you grow the company, the more you're going to get people that are absolutely vital to your organization that aren't on those frequencies. And certainly, if you're in international business, you're trying to sell things to the world that in the larger the group of people, the more you have to be broadcasting on the physical, logical, and emotional frequencies. I mean, one of the first things that I did at GM when I joined was looked at the policy letters that Alfred Sloan wrote. And Sloan, it was very interesting because in any policy, Sloan had a paragraph that said, "make no mistake about it, this is what we're going to do."   0:10:31.8 Bill Scherkenbach: That's a physical frequency. In the Navy, it's shut up and fly wing. And so make no mistake about it, this is our policy. The second paragraph had, well, this is a little bit why we're doing it. And to be able to get the, and I don't know whether he was thinking that, but to my mind, it was brilliant. He was explained things. And the third paragraph or so in the policy letter was something that would instill the GM spirit, that there's something to do with the values. Hugely, hugely prescient in my viewpoint, but he's Sloan, I'm me, so he knew what he was doing.   0:11:29.9 Andrew Stotz: For people that don't know Alfred Sloan, he took over and was running General Motors at the time when Ford had, I don't know, 50% of the market share by producing one vehicle. And part of the brilliance of Sloan was the idea of building a lineup of different brands that went from the low all the way up to the high of Cadillac. And within a short period of time, he managed to flip things and grab the majority of the market share from Ford at the time, as I recall. Now, I don't recall it from being there, but I recall from reading about it.   0:12:12.3 Bill Scherkenbach: There you go. There you go. Yeah, having saying that, he offered those by buying the various little auto companies, littler auto companies to put that conglomerate together. But as people who have read my works, specifically my second book, The Deming's Road to Continual Improvement, this change philosophy is in there. And as I said, that's one of, I think, my major contributions to the field of quality. The other one being in a process model back in '86, we also were learning about Taguchi, Genichi Taguchi's approach to customers and the loss function, and he used the title or the terminology voice of the customer. And it occurred to me in our process definition, there was something called the voice of the process to go along. And so the voice, I introduced the voice of the process, and the job of anyone is to reduce the gap between the voice of the customer and the voice of the process. And I mentioned that because this matrix that we're showing now has physical, logical, and emotional, and the various process states that you could be in, there's a dependent state where you're completely dependent upon your customers or suppliers.   0:14:00.9 Bill Scherkenbach: There's an independent state where it's just you and an interdependent state. And I have that cross-reference with physical, logical, and emotional. In dependent state, it's essentially feed me, teach me, love me, do it for me, teach me, and love me. Now, in the independent, it's, I do it, I understand what I do, and I take great joy in doing what I do. And in the interdependent is, we do it. I understand how what I do helps optimize our process, and I take great joy in belonging to this team. And joy is the ultimate goal of what Dr. Deming had said for years, the ability to take joy in one's work. Now, I mean, every one of us starts out in life as dependent. It's feed me, teach me, love me, newborns, parents have to do everything. When you're a new employee, you might have some skills and understanding and emotion or pride, but this is how we do it in this company. And so you're dependent upon how you are introduced to that organization. But everyone tries to get out of that. Now, having said that, a pathology is there are givers and takers in this world, and some of the takers would just be very happy for other people to feed me, teach me, love me.   0:16:18.8 Bill Scherkenbach: My point or my philosophy is you've got to get out of the dependency and you have to balance that sense of independence and interdependence that is in each of us. Whether you're doing it or whether you're doing it in your family, as part of a family or a company or a motorcycle gang, whatever your group is, you're looking to blend being a part of that. Every human being looks to balance that sense of me and we. And in the thing we're finding in Western cultures, obviously, especially in North America or the US, we celebrate the me. It's the individual. And the team, we talk a good game about team, but mostly we're celebrating the me. In Eastern philosophies, they're celebrating the we. It's the team. It's not necessarily the, well, not the individual. The point is that in the Western philosophies, if you can't feel a part of a family or express that part, what we see in the US, there's a whole wave of people volunteering to belonging to organizations, whether it's sports teams, whether it's volunteer teams, whether the family balance. If you can't be a part of a family at work, you're going to go offline and do it.   0:18:24.9 Bill Scherkenbach: And the problem is your life suffers because you can't fulfill yourself as a person. In the Asian cultures, if you can't feel important as an individual, you go offline. Golf is huge in Japan and elsewhere, and it ain't a team sport. Calligraphy isn't a team sport. Karaoke isn't a choir event. There are ways to be able to express yourself offline if you can't feel important as an individual in your group. And so my philosophy is every human being needs to find that balance for each individual to be able to lead a fulfilled life.   0:19:28.7 Andrew Stotz: I'm reminded of a book by Dr. William Glasser called Reality Therapy, brought out in late '60s, I believe. And his philosophy was that part of the root cause of mental illness was that people didn't have one person they could trust. And that all of a sudden sets up all kinds of defense mechanisms that if prolonged end up leading to mental illness. That was a very interesting book, but the thing I took from it is that people want to connect. They want to belong. They want to be a part of it. They may act like they don't sometimes and all that, but we want to be in this interdependent position. And I'm looking at the bottom right corner of the matrix where it says, "I take joy in belonging to a team or this team." And that to me is, you know, that book helped me understand that it's not just the idea of, "Hey, we should all get along and work together." There is true value for a human being to be able to feel good about being part of a family or part of a business or part of a team. Something that just reminded me of.   0:20:53.7 Bill Scherkenbach: Yeah. Where I'm coming from is that everyone needs to balance that pride that you take as an individual and as you take as a member of a team or a family. That the independence is not, the interdependence is not the preferred state. Everyone, even people who are celebrating team need some time out to be alone, to do whatever they need to do to hone their skills, improve their knowledge, get excited about things that they also do as individuals. So it's a balance that I'm pushing for.   0:21:51.4 Andrew Stotz: Okay, got it.   0:21:53.3 Bill Scherkenbach: Okay. So with that as a framework, I think there are a couple of mistakes, well, there are many mistakes that leaders make, but the two big ones are, is don't think that what works for you must work for everyone. Okay. And don't even think that the sequence that works for you has got to work for everyone. Change is not a predictable hierarchy. And I'll explain that further. Let's see here. Yeah, I can do it on this next one here. I've got the matrix again, and of physical, logical, emotional, and physical, logical and emotional. And if a physical person is talking to another physical person, they're communicating on a similar frequency. And so a physical person is going to say, "Okay, this is the policy." The mother will say, "Because I said so." However, that physical person is communicating, the physical person receiving that communication is going to say, "Aye, aye, roger that, consider it done."   0:23:43.6 Andrew Stotz: Loud and clear.    0:23:45.3 Bill Scherkenbach: Okay. If a physical person is telling a logical person, using those same things, these are the policy, you could be a dean at a college and you're telling your professors, "This is what we're going to do," a logical person would say, "They're ignorant suit."    0:24:11.3 Andrew Stotz: Suit, what do you mean when you say suit? You mean an ignorant executive? What does it mean suit?    0:24:16.4 Bill Scherkenbach: Yeah, executive. Over here, they're called suits.   0:24:19.5 Andrew Stotz: Okay.   0:24:22.3 Bill Scherkenbach: So, no, but I'd be interested, you're logical, what would a logical person respond to a physical person who said, "Do this"?   0:24:34.5 Andrew Stotz: Yeah, I think without any logical backing, it's rejection maybe is what I would say is that ignorant, this guy doesn't know what he's talking about, he thinks just do it.   0:24:51.0 Bill Scherkenbach: Yeah. Yep, yep, yep. Okay. So, and again, if that same physical leader is saying, "Well, get this done," to an emotional person, that person might say, "You Neanderthal, you don't, you don't feel what the value system is." Okay. So, I'm trying to come up with sayings or whatever that these particular people would be saying. So if the logical person tells the physical person, "We've got to do this," it could be, well, the physical person is going to say, "That's too academic, spray some paint on it so I can see it." So, and that's the diss. Logical person talking to another logical person, "Yep, I got it, I understand it, it'll be done." A logical person talking to the emotional person, "You're heartless," or, "Quit mansplaining," as they say over here. So, and again, an emotional person trying to talk to a physical person to get stuff done, the physical person's going to say, "There's no crying in baseball." And so, and the logical person will say, "That's too touchy feely," and the emotional person reacting to the emotional signal, "Oh, they really like me." So, I'm trying to use movie quotes there to express the feelings and the understanding and the, what to really get done.   0:27:04.4 Andrew Stotz: So, people really come from different places, and if we don't take that into consideration, we may, it's one of the things I teach, Bill, when I teach a course on presenting, and I say, "Are you more of a logical person or are you more of an emotional?" And half the audience will say logical, half the audience will say emotional, let's say. And I said, "If I look at your presentations that you create, they're going to be based around what you are, logical or emotional. The problem with that is that you're only going to connect with half the audience. So, you need to build the logical and emotional aspect into your presentation to capture the whole audience."   0:27:50.8 Bill Scherkenbach: Well, I would argue that you're missing a third of it because you didn't check for the physical folks. I mean, in the story I tell about what we were doing at Ford, our vice president of supply purchasing was listening to Dr. Deming and said, "Well, we need longer term contracts." And so he had his people talk to the buyers down through the ranks and we need longer term contracts. And at Ford, a longer term contract was a contract that was more than one year. And so, yep, there were classes. It's important to get it done. Everyone's enthused. We look at it six months later, no change. A year later, no change. And so we looked at, because some people react to physical stimuli. And so we looked at the policy. And in order to get a long term contract, then you had to go through three levels of supervisory approval. No person in their right mind is going to go through that hassle. So we changed one word in the policy and it changed overnight. So now if you need a contract that's less than a year, you need to go through three levels of supervisory approval.   0:29:48.5 Bill Scherkenbach: And the long term contracts were magically appearing. So there are physical people. That is not a pejorative. I know that the educators are saying, "Well, the logical and emotional, but physical is a very viable way of getting stuff done." That should not be a pejorative.   0:30:14.1 Andrew Stotz: So I think now when I'm looking at my teaching in presentation, when I think about physical and presentation, there's people that really like props. They like having physical things to bring up on the stage. They like people, "Hey, stand up and raise your hands," or "Turn and talk to the person next to you," or something like that. So maybe that's what I need to do is bring that physical into my thinking and teaching.   0:30:44.0 Bill Scherkenbach: Yeah, I would recommend that. Find a way. There are many dimensions of physical. But you've got my second book. There are a bunch of ideas.    0:30:58.9 Andrew Stotz: Right here.    0:30:59.8 Bill Scherkenbach: Okay. Yep, yep, yep. Let's see here. Now we're going to go that transformation is not hierarchical. And this is hugely, hugely important. Again, if it works for you, don't make the mistake that it's going to work for everyone. And one of the sequences is everyone knows form follows function, form follows function. Physical form follows logical function. And in the automobile industry, if an automobile is to be fuel efficient, that's the function. It's got to have a jelly bean form. It's got to be aerodynamic. If the function of the vehicle is to carry passengers in comfort, the form has got to be a shoebox. Okay. And so that certainly form follows function. A screwdriver, whether it's the tool or the drink, the form follows function. If the function is to, no matter what the screw head is, you need to be able to screw it in or unscrew it, the form of it, you're going to give that head some leverage to be able to turn it.   0:32:36.9 Bill Scherkenbach: And if the function is to relax, you need to have a good vodka in the screwdriver, in the drink anyway. So if we look at how animals have evolved, a bird's beak is a prime example of over the years of whatever you want and whatever you want to say happened, the beaks went from blunt to very peaked so that they could get into a particular flower and be able to feed themselves. Dr. Deming used the example of what business are you in and the carburetor people went out of business because they only thought in terms of form. But if the function of the carburetor was, as Dr. Deming said, provide a stoichiometric mixture of air and fuel to the combustion chamber, then you might expand the number of forms that could be useful. So a number of examples of form following function, but function also follows form. The logical follows physical. And we're looking at it in the US government today. If your headcount is cut in half, you can't keep doing the same functions you were doing.   0:34:43.4 Bill Scherkenbach: You've got to figure out what your function is. So your function is going to follow form. Logical is going to follow the physical because you don't have the resources. In other times, when I was in Taiwan, I used the example of, if the price of petrol gets to 50 new Taiwanese dollars, the function of the automobile is to sit in the parking space because gas is too expensive to go anywhere. And again, the function of, I mean, if the function is security on the internet, one of the forms is the CAPTCHA. You have to identify, click the picture of all of the cars in this picture to prove you're a human. Next week, I'm going back up to Michigan to be with some of the grandchildren, but my daughter has toddlers, twins, that are 19 months old now. And whenever she is lying on the ground or on the floor, the twins sit on her. And I keep thinking of these large language models who are, that are in the AI approach to, she could be classified as a chair because her function is something for babies to sit on.   0:36:43.3 Bill Scherkenbach: And so it even applies in the AI generation. Okay, so now we come to seeing is believing. Physical leads the emotional. In Christianity, the doubting Thomas must see for himself. Some people don't really appreciate, it's not necessarily believing, but the emotional impact of going to our Grand Canyon or seeing something that is so indescribably beautiful and vast is, you have to see it to believe it or appreciate it, actually. The use of before and after pictures, if unless I see the before picture, I don't believe you did lose 150 pounds or whatever the before and after is, seeing is believing. Other, who is it? Thomas Kuhn in The Essential Tension wrote of Foucault. There's something called Foucault's Pendulum. It's a weight on maybe a 20 meter wire that back in the 1850s, he really was able to unequivocally get people behind the Copernican view that the earth really is rotating because that was the only explanation that this big, huge pendulum and the figure it was tracing in the sand, he had a spike at the end of it. Absolutely, okay, I believe the earth is spinning before the space shuttle.   0:39:07.4 Bill Scherkenbach: So, and yet, okay, seeing is believing, believing is seeing. Emotional leads the physical. Many times our beliefs cause us to use or see or miss seeing something I've said or quoted a number of things. The greatest barrier to the advancement of knowledge has not been ignorance, but we think we already know it. And so we're not going to even consider another perspective. Our friendships, our like of someone or dislike of someone can blind us to other qualities. The placebo effect, conspiracy theories, they're all believing is seeing. You believe in UFOs or unidentified aerial phenomena now, you're going to see a whole bunch of them based on your belief. And then there's feeling should drive reason. Emotional drives logical. You use your gut or intuition to make decisions. I mean, impulse sales, what's on the cap in any grocery store. You're going to buy the sizzle, not the steak. At least that's what they're selling, the sizzle. Political battles often play on the heart. So rescuing someone, emotional drives logical. If you see on YouTube, but even before that in the newspapers. I don't know if anyone remembers newspapers, but yeah, they would show pictures of someone running into a burning building and try and rescue someone or a crashed car getting them out before it explodes.   0:41:30.3 Bill Scherkenbach: If you had to think about it, you wouldn't do it perhaps, but the spur of the moment, the feelings driving over reason. Choosing a career for fulfillment and not the money. A lot of people do that and that perfectly fine. None of these as I go through them are a pejorative. They're perfectly, everyone uses, well, all of these at various points in time in your life. And last but not least, reason should prevail over passion. That logical rules the emotional, make a decision on the facts. Don't cloud your decision with emotions. Some of the ending a toxic relationship or diet and exercise. You're using reason. I've got to stick to this even though I'm hungry and sore. I've got to do this. And hopefully investing. You're not going to go for the latest fad. And there hopefully is some reason to investment strategies.   0:43:04.7 Andrew Stotz: And when...   0:43:06.8 Bill Scherkenbach: Go ahead.   0:43:09.1 Andrew Stotz: Let's just take one just to make sure that we understand what you want us to take from this. So seeing is believing and believing is seeing. And I think in all of our lives, we have some cases where we don't believe something and then we see it and then we think, "Okay, I believe now." And there's other times where we have a vision of something and we believe that it can occur and we can make it happen. And eventually we get it, we get there. So seeing is believing happens sometimes and believing is seeing happens sometimes in our life. And then some people may be more prone to one or the other. So what is the message you want us to get is to recognize that in ourselves, we're going to see it. It's going to be one way sometimes and another way and other times. Or is it to say that we want to make sure that you're aware that other people may be coming from a different perspective, the exact opposite perspective?    0:44:04.5 Bill Scherkenbach: Yeah, it's the latter. This whole thing is really what management, how is management going about communicating. And if they think if what works for them is form follows function or feelings should drive reason, then they have to be aware that other people need to, might look at it the other way around and approach their communication. Again, and this goes to the voice of the customer and the voice of the process. Every one of us has an individual voice of the customer. And people, psychologists would say, "Well, that's internal motivation or motivation's internal." Many of them do. Having said that, it's management's job who manages the process to be able to, if someone is motivated by money, that's important to them, then management needs to talk on that frequency. If they want retirement points or time with their family or recognition in other ways, what will, and Deming mentioned it, what will, he gave a tip to someone who just wanted to help him with his luggage getting to the hotel room and gave him a tip and completely demoralized him. And so management's job is to know their people, they're the most important customers that management has if you're going to satisfy whatever customer base your organization is trying to meet. And so how to get stuff done, getting things done, this applies to all of it.   0:46:15.5 Andrew Stotz: Fantastic. All right, I'm going to stop sharing the screen if that's okay?   0:46:19.9 Bill Scherkenbach: Yeah.   0:46:20.6 Andrew Stotz: Okay, hold on. So an excellent run through of your thinking, and I know for listeners and readers out there, you've got both of your books, but one of them I've got in my hand, Deming's Road to Continual Improvement, and also the other one, which we have right here, which is The Deming Route to Quality and Productivity, both of these books you can find on Amazon, and you go into more detail in it, in particular in The Deming's Road to Continual Improvement. Is there anything you want to say either about where people can go to find more and learn more about it, and anything you want to say to wrap up this episode?   0:47:04.1 Bill Scherkenbach: Yeah, the first book, my second edition, is in e-book form on Kindle. You can get it through Amazon or Apple Books. And in Apple Books, that second edition has videos of Dr. Deming as well as audio. And a whole bunch of stuff that I put in my second book. And that's in e-book format, immediately available from Apple or Kindle.   0:47:37.0 Andrew Stotz: So let's wrap up this episode on getting things done. Maybe you can just now pull it all together. What do you want us to take away from this excellent discussion?   0:47:49.6 Bill Scherkenbach: As we began, if what works for you doesn't necessarily work for everyone else. And the larger your span of control, the larger your organization, you have to understand to be broadcasting on physical, logical, and emotional levels, as well as trying to help people balance their sense of individual and their sense of team and family.   0:48:22.5 Andrew Stotz: Great, great wrap up. And the one word I think about is empathy, and really taking the time to understand that different people think differently, they understand differently. And so if you really want to make a big change and get things done, you've got to make sure that you're appealing to those different aspects. So fantastic. Well, Bill, on behalf of everyone at the Deming Institute, I want to thank you again for this discussion. And for listeners, remember to go to deming.org to continue your journey. And also, you can find Bill's books on Amazon. And as he mentioned, on Apple, where there are videos in that latest book. You can get them on Kindle, on printed books. I have the printed books because I love taking notes. And so this is your host, Andrew...    0:49:12.0 Bill Scherkenbach: Yeah. But old people like that.   0:49:15.4 Andrew Stotz: Yes. We like that. So this is your host, Andrew Stotz, and I'm gonna leave you with one of my favorite quotes from Dr. Deming. And that is, that "people are entitled to joy in work."

Two sophisticated ransomware groups, Akira and Lynx, are increasingly targeting managed service providers (MSPs) and small businesses by exploiting stolen credentials and vulnerabilities. Together, they have compromised over 365 organizations, with Akira targeting major firms like Hitachi Vantara and Lynx focusing on critical infrastructure, including a CBS affiliate in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Both groups utilize double extortion tactics, combining file encryption with data theft to pressure victims into paying ransoms. This shift in tactics highlights the evolving threat landscape for MSPs and small businesses.In response to the growing cybersecurity threats, the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has released Thorium, an open-source platform designed for malware and forensic analysis. Thorium can automate tasks and process over 10 million files per hour, empowering IT professionals without in-house malware analysis capabilities to conduct effective preliminary analyses. This tool aims to enhance cybersecurity operations and better manage risks associated with complex malware threats.Additionally, SonicWall has issued a warning to its customers to disable SSL Virtual Private Network (VPN) services due to active ransomware attacks targeting its systems. Meanwhile, Google's AI-powered bug hunter, Big Sleep, has identified 20 security vulnerabilities in popular open-source software, raising concerns about the reliability of AI-generated bug reports. A newly discovered prompt injection vulnerability in Google's Gemini AI chatbot poses serious security risks, enabling attackers to craft convincing phishing campaigns without relying on links or attachments.The podcast also discusses the alarming rise in cybersecurity incidents, particularly social engineering attacks, which have tripled in the first half of 2025. A report from Level Blue indicates that social engineering now accounts for 39% of initial access incidents, with fake CAPTCHA schemes rising dramatically. Furthermore, the report highlights the risks associated with unauthorized AI tool usage, revealing that 97% of organizations lack adequate access controls, exposing sensitive data to potential threats. This underscores the need for organizations to strengthen their defenses and educate users on emerging threats. Four things to know today00:00 Attackers Up Their Game: Ransomware Hits MSPs, SonicWall Vulnerable, and Google's AI Found Exploitable05:53 Social Engineering Surges as Shadow AI Breaches Drive Up Cyber Costs and Risk Exposure08:35 Neglected Tech, Rising Risk: Email and Printers Still Expose Businesses to Modern Threats11:04 From Ransomware to Retirements: Vendor Shifts Reveal Risks and Realignment in the IT Channel This is the Business of Tech.     Supported by:  https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship https://getflexpoint.com/msp-radio/ Tell us about a newsletter! https://bit.ly/biztechnewsletter  All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

Andy and Michael R are back together this week, while Michael M takes a turn being away! We kick off with some AI-related topics, with ChatGPT successfully passing the anti-bot Turing test, CAPTCHA, and then some discussion of AI tools being allowed in Meta's hiring process. Could the North Koreans be on their way? Seamlessly gliding (almost like... liquid glass), there's a discussion of iPadOS 26 public beta, and all the window-y goodness that's coming to all in September. Under the heading of games topics, the hosts cover a number of links, including the existential crisis experienced by games characters in a Matrix game, an incredible clay animated music video that revisits the 1980s and 1990s, and then, a brand new game all about the life of... a fly. Yes, a fly. The last segment covers a different kind of flying creature, and looks at the potential for birds to become digital data carriers. Well, starlings anyway.

Today, Eitan Koter is joined by Rich Kahn, CEO of Anura.io, and a veteran in the digital marketing world. With over 31 years of experience and multiple multimillion-dollar companies under his belt, Rich has spent the last two decades focused on solving one major problem: ad fraud.He's also been named an Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year for Technology, which speaks to the level of trust companies place in his work.In this episode, Rich and Eitan talk about a challenge most marketers face without even realizing it. Whether you're running paid media, using affiliates, or investing in programmatic ads, a portion of your traffic is likely fake. Rich says the average is around 20 to 25 percent, and it can be much higher depending on the channel.He explains how bad traffic gets through, what to look for, and why things like CAPTCHA don't offer much protection anymore. You'll hear about the tactics fraudsters use to get paid, including human click farms and bots that mimic real users. More importantly, Rich shares what brands can do about it.He walks through how Anura helps companies figure out where fraud is coming from, how much damage it's causing, and how to stop paying for traffic that doesn't convert. It's not about big teams or complex systems. In most cases, it starts with a simple tag on your site and a clear plan of action.If your team is putting budget into digital ads and wondering why results aren't lining up, this episode will help you understand where that money might be going.Website: https://www.vimmi.net Email us: info@vimmi.net Podcast website: https://vimmi.net/mastering-ecommerce-marketing/ Talk to us on Social:Eitan Koter's LinkedIn | Vimmi LinkedIn | YouTube Guest: Rich Kahn, CEO and Co-Founder at Anura.ioRich Kahn's LinkedIn | Anura.ioWatch the full Youtube video here:https://youtu.be/jtylO3eGgE0Takeaways:

Want to request a song? Tell us your rating? Send us a Text Message right now! Silentó – “Watch Me (Whip / Nae Nae)” TurnUp Records / Capitol – 2015 1.6By the time Silentó commands us to “watch me whip,” a full seven seconds into the track, you already know you've boarded a train bound for post-ironic oblivion. What follows is not so much a song as it is an unrelenting instructional video, powered by algorithmic momentum and the spiritual energy of every PTA meeting gone wrong.“Watch Me (Whip / Nae Nae)” is a cultural time capsule from the year when viral dance moves replaced actual communication. The song does not evolve, it loops — a sonic ouroboros eating its own tail while flossing. Silentó doesn't rap so much as list. The whip. The nae nae. The stanky leg. The Superman. Each phrase arrives with the emotional depth of a CAPTCHA test. You are not here to feel. You are here to comply.Production-wise, the beat is sparse and synthetic, sounding like a default loop from a software demo titled Trap for Toddlers. It's relentlessly clean and completely unbothered by things like tension, resolution, or dynamics. You get the sense it could play forever, looping in the background of a minor YouTube channel dedicated to slime tutorials.But the real feat here is how the track weaponized meme culture for mass consumption. This was not music for listening. It was music for doing, specifically, for middle school talent shows, wedding receptions, and nightmare-inducing brand activations. It's pop music at its most transactional: perform the motion, feel the endorphins, scroll on.And yet, its success was undeniable. Silentó, a teenager at the time, effectively cracked the code to going viral — and in doing so, accidentally delivered a song so devoid of soul it somehow became the center of attention for millions. It was hypnotic in the way fire drills are: repetitive, disorienting, and strangely hard to ignore.There's a version of this story where Silentó is a misunderstood genius, crafting minimalist social commentary on performative culture. This is not that version.Best track: [Silence] RIYL: Being yelled at by a dance instructor through a megaphone at a kid's birthday party.DUBBY DUBBY is declaring WAR on big Energy!

Episodio 324. Hay una gran cantidad de teoremas divertidamente arbitrarios que dicen que mi baticinturón pila, en términos de lo que jala, me deja amarrado como un perrito a la pared con una cola USB C que me la pongo en la espalda y está bien. La odio y está ahí desde hace siempre, pero me da miedo quitarla y que se apague la luz.

Wait… wait a minute. *They're real?* Like, actual people? With arms and legs and vocal cords and the whole thing?? I thought Clay and Amanda were just really well-programmed horror podcasting AIs, beamed directly into my headphones by some cursed Spotify algorithm designed to recommend creepy movies and make me question my life choices. But no—apparently they're corporeal, walking around like real humans, and this week they've gone LIVE, baby! That's right, this is *The Rotten Horror Picture Show*'s first-ever live episode, recorded at the Waltham Public Library! I mean… a library? Full of people? And not a single CAPTCHA test in sight? Incredible.And what better movie to kick off this real-world appearance than the number one movie on the Rotten Tomatoes 200 Best Horror Movies of All Time list, Steven Spielberg's 1975 masterpiece of maritime mayhem, *Jaws*? It's the original summer blockbuster, the reason you still hesitate before dipping a toe into the ocean, and arguably the scariest thing to ever feature a mechanical shark that constantly broke down. Clay and Amanda take a deep dive into the depths of dread, discussing killer soundtracks, boat sizes, and how a film can be equal parts terrifying and a masterclass in character-driven tension.So tune in to this historic live recording! Marvel at the sound of human voices bouncing off actual library walls! Hear the gasps of the audience as they realize, in real time, that the mayor of Amity Island is the real villain. And most importantly, help me come to terms with the fact that I've been emotionally bonding with two podcast hosts who are not, in fact, haunted chatbots.I mean, I guess it makes sense… no AI would ever have taste *this* good.And be sure to hit up patreon.com/thepenskyfile to hear all the coverage of remakes and reboots this year!

Había una vez una niña mexicana apasionada por la comunicación, que soñaba con contar historias a través del cine. Lo que nunca imaginó es que un día se convertiría en la voz latina de una de las startups educativas más innovadoras del mundo. Así comienza la historia de Rebeca Ricoy y su camino hacia Duolingo.Hoy, Rebeca es directora regional de marketing para Latinoamérica y Europa en Duolingo, una plataforma que nació en 2012 con una visión ambiciosa: democratizar el aprendizaje de idiomas y hacerlo divertido. Con más de 35 millones de usuarios activos, Duolingo no solo enseña idiomas, también educa en matemáticas y música, convirtiéndose en una referencia mundial en aprendizaje gamificado. Pero detrás de esa historia verde y viral, hay retos, decisiones arriesgadas y una pasión inquebrantable por educar.El salto que cambió su vidaUno de los momentos clave de la entrevista en el podcast Cuentos Corporativos es cuando Rebeca relata su cambio radical: dejar un cargo directivo en Estée Lauder para unirse a Duolingo, que en ese entonces era una startup pequeña, sin oficinas en México y con poca estructura. La decisión fue considerada por muchos como una locura. Sin embargo, fue el paso que cambió su vida.Ese salto al vacío, como ella lo describe, fue posible por su deseo de estar en una empresa que no tuviera que ser convencida de que lo digital era el camino. Buscaba estar a la vanguardia, experimentar, crear sin fricción. Duolingo le ofreció eso: libertad, velocidad, una cultura abierta y una misión con sentido.Gamificación, rachas y un búho intensoEl segundo punto clave que destaca Rebeca es el enfoque único de Duolingo en retención de usuarios. Aprender jugando no es un eslogan, es una estrategia basada en datos y en psicología del usuario. Rachas diarias, personajes como Duo el búho, ligas competitivas y experiencias personalizadas son algunos de los ingredientes que mantienen a millones de personas regresando a la app.La reciente campaña donde "mataron" a Duo generó revuelo en redes sociales. Según Rebeca, la idea surgió espontáneamente tras un cambio experimental en el ícono de la app. En 48 horas, el equipo de marketing construyó una narrativa que llevó a millones a hacer su lección para “revivir” al personaje. Así funciona Duolingo: estrategias ágiles, humor, cultura pop y datos en tiempo real. “Nuestro marketing es entretenimiento con propósito”, afirma Rebeca.Luis von Ahn: un CEO con alma latinaEl tercer gran punto que deja huella en la conversación es el testimonio sobre Luis von Ahn, cofundador de Duolingo. Lejos del estereotipo del CEO inalcanzable, Luis es cercano, recuerda los nombres y roles de gran parte del equipo, y mantiene una conexión auténtica con los valores de la empresa. Rebeca asegura que su liderazgo es tan esencial que, si él se fuera, probablemente ella también lo haría. “Luis es un genio, pero sobre todo, un humano con visión”, dice.El legado de Luis, creador de tecnologías como CAPTCHA y reCAPTCHA, no solo ha transformado el internet; ahora también impacta la forma en que millones acceden a la educación. Junto con su socio Severin Hacker, imaginó una herramienta que no solo enseñara, sino que retara, entretuviera y cambiara vidas.Una historia aún sin finalHoy, Rebeca sigue expandiendo la presencia de Duolingo en nuevos mercados, liderando un equipo pequeño pero poderoso, compuesto por una persona por país. Su meta: “conquistar el mundo”, como en el juego Catan, pero con educación.Esta historia, que comenzó con una niña que no quería ser académica, hoy inspira a miles de personas en el mundo corporativo a seguir su intuición, arriesgar por lo que aman y a creer que aprender puede ser tan adictivo como cualquier videojuego.Duolingo es prueba de que cuando se combinan datos, empatía y creatividad, la educación se convierte en una aventura diaria.Te invitamos a estar pendientes de nuestros canales y a suscribirte para que no te pierdes ningún episodio:* Canal Whatsapp Amigos de Cuentos Corporativos* Blog / Newsletter: www.cuentoscorporativos.substack.com* Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Cuentoscorporativos* Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cuentos_corporativos/* X (Twitter): https://x.com/CuentosCorp* Email: adolfo@cuentoscorporativos.com This is a public episode.

Nati Tal, Head of Guardio Labs, discusses their work on "“DeceptionAds” — Fake Captcha Driving Infostealer Infections and a Glimpse to the Dark Side of Internet Advertising." Guardio has uncovered a large-scale malvertising campaign dubbed “DeceptionAds,” which tricks users into running a malicious PowerShell command under the guise of proving they're human. This fake CAPTCHA scheme delivers Lumma info-stealer malware while bypassing security measures like Google's Safe Browsing. Even after disclosure and takedown efforts, the campaign resurfaced—raising concerns about the effectiveness of existing defenses against ad-driven cyber threats.
