Cybercrime is predicted to drain the world of $10.5 trillion annually by 2025, making it one of the greatest threats to modern business.Shikhil Sharma, co-founder & CEO of Astra Security, is building one of today's most trusted pentesting platforms. Just last year, Astra uncovered over 2 million vulnerabilities across customer systems, preventing more than $69 million in potential lossesShikhil shares why Astra was built as a product- and marketing-first company, how storytelling helped the brand connect with people by clearly showing its purpose and expertise and how founder–investor relationships are built on conviction and trust. He breaks down why pricing transparency is no longer optional for B2B companies and how trust is emerging as the true currency of go-to-market. We discuss what it takes to build a SaaS company in today's AI-first world, from raising leaner rounds and running with smaller teams to creating products that customers love from day zero. Beyond the playbooks, this is a conversation about building durable companies and the mindset that drives Shikhil as a founder: success isn't bought, it's rented, and the rent is due every day.0:00 — Trailer0:56 — Early college days that led to a startup5:00 — AI could cut startup costs and team size by 80%8:43 — Why seed rounds should be under $500K11:45 — Marketing can beat sales in early-stage SaaS16:07 — Is Google search under threat from consumer AI?20:23 — Why B2B startups must display pricing transparently25:41 — What VCs lend founders beyond capital?28:36 — How 42 CIOs backed Atomicwork30:58 — Replace GTM with COT- currency of trust33:34 — Why 20-year SaaS playbooks no longer works35:37 — How AI is changing cybersecurity41:38 — How the founders first met in college46:33 — Are “hard startups” actually easier to build?51:50 — Neon X Astra Security-------------India's talent has built the world's tech—now it's time to lead it.This mission goes beyond startups.

Je suis tombée sur Chloé, un jour sur Instagram, et j'ai tout de suite accroché avec son univers et celui de son podcast Cloclo Club.Depuis bientôt 8 ans, elle alimente ce podcast hybride : tantôt conversations profondes avec des créatives aux parcours multiples, tantôt réflexions personnelles sur le syndrome de l'imposteur, la page blanche, la politisation de la création, la légitimité à créer...Mais derrière ses couleurs pastel et son ton chaleureux, le Cloclo Club est un vrai laboratoire pour Chloé. Un terrain d'expérimentation pour repenser ce qu'est un podcast pro, développer une esthétique personnelle, monétiser sans se trahir… et assumer pleinement une ambition artistique.Coté pro, Chloé est communication & content manager, et vient de se lancer à son compte. C'est très interressant de voir comment elle met ses compétences au service de la communication de son podcast, et démontre encore une fois sa créativité. Aviez vous imaginé que entendre un jour du Reaggeton sur Antipop ? Vous comprendrez en écoutant l'épisode !Et dans cet épisode, Chloé raconte :→ pourquoi elle a choisi de se réapproprier les mots "créative" et "créativité"→ comment elle a fait évoluer son identité visuelle (et pourquoi c'est politique),→ ce qui l'a poussée à lancer un Patreon,→ comment elle transforme aujourd'hui son podcast en vitrine pro de ses compétences,→ et en filigrane, tout ce que ça implique de s'exposer — pour de vrai.Un épisode à écouter si tu veux :→ assumer l'ambition pro de ton podcast,→ transformer ton univers personnel en marque cohérente,→ ou faire évoluer ton projet sans te perdre dans les injonctions.Chloé partage tout ça avec une vraie lucidité et une bonne dose d'autodérision. Son Cloclo Club est une invitation à ne pas choisir entre fond et forme, pro et perso, podcast, écriture et dessin. Et c'est précisément ce qui en fait un projet unique.Tu me diras ce que ça t'a donné envie d'oser, toi ?PS : Je vous préviens, cet épisode est sponsorisé par Rumex...---

Kenji Mizoguchi nos traslada al Japón de la era Meiji, al Tokyo del año 1888 y a un teatro kabuki en la Historia del último Crisantemo. Con un estilo visual muy cuidado y siguiendo su tema habitual, la experiencia de mujeres oprimidas por las reglas sociales, por el entorno patriarcal de la cultura japonesa. Mujeres inteligentes, valientes, en la sombra, como Otoku -Kahuho Mori-, esta niñera sobre la que circula todo el relato, circula en torno a su altruísmo y en torno al aprendizaje de un niño mimado, Kikinosuke – Shotaro Hanagayi-, vástago de un prestigioso actor, debe mantener el abolengo de su apellido. Mizoguchi apela a los sentimientos sin subrayados, con armónicos planos secuencia y travellings fluye su elegía a una mujer, presenta a los personajes encarcelados en sus aposentos, entre el tatami y las celosías de madera espiamos las murmuraciones y preocupaciones privadas de los personajes. La cámara barre lentamente los rincones del teatro y en segundo plano observamos los tramoyistas, los actores, los maquilladores en su rutina, tras mostrarnos los espacios despejados y los bastidores y bambalinas se abre el telón, y Mizoguchi nos planta como espectadores ante diferentes episodios de las obras en las que actúa el frustrado Kiku, un onnagata, actor masculino especializado en papeles femeninos, luchando por mejorar sus dotes. De pronto, la sirvienta Otaku le alumbra y fortalece, tal como en toda la obra de Mizoguchi,¨Los amantes crucificados”, “Oharu mujer galante”, “La señorita Oyu”, etc, el deber y las convenciones sociales se oponen a los sentimientos de lod dos enamorados, Kiku decide plantar cara a su despótico progenitor y pone pies en polvorosa para buscarse el sustento, y mediante las penurias y el trabajo constante accede al conocimiento de su arte, tal como su querida musa Otaku le aconsejaba en sus paseos nocturnos Esta noche partimos la sandía y la saboreamos en compañía de Otaku… José Miguel Moreno, Salvador Limón, Zacarías Cotán y Raúl Gallego.

insta : laboite2chocolat ou la_boitedechocolatPour ce premier épisode de la saison, on attaque avec du lourd : HeatAlors Heat c'est quoi ? Et bien c'est l'histoire de deux mecs :Robert De Niro, braqueur pro, méticuleux, qui a tellement la classe qu'il repasse sûrement ses slips avant de les mettre.Al Pacino, flic sous coke H24, qui hurle ses répliques comme s'il essayait d'arracher la sono d'un karaoké.Ces deux-là, c'est pas Batman et le Joker, mais presque : ils s'adorent, mais ils veulent quand même se buter.Coté braquage, Robert De Niro et sa team font des casses tellement propres que t'as envie de leur demander un devis pour refaire ta cuisine.Sauf que bien évidemment, il y une une nouvelle recrue, une baltringue en puissance, qui va venir foutre la merde dans cette horlogerie Suisse.Coté police on a Al Pacino qui lui, court partout Il a des punchlines mythiques, mais surtout c'est un mec qui ne lâchera pas l'affaireEn résumé : Heat, c'est un tuto YouTube de braquage version prestige, mélangé avec un concours de cris d'Al Pacino.Tu regardes ça pour l'intrigue, tu regardes ça pour voir deux légendes se courir après comme deux ados en chaleur, tu regardes ça parce que bordel, quel film !Pour la reprise nous retrouvons Thomas, Charlie, l'autre Thomas, Mia et PierreN'hésitez pas d'ailleurs à nous LAISSER DES COMMENTAIRES ET AUSSI DES BONNES ETOILES (déjà parce qu'on est des gens cool), et puis aussi suggérez nous des films, on les fera avec plaisir.VOUS ETES DE PLUS EN PLUS NOMBREUX, SOYEZ DE MOINS EN MOINS TIMIDE voici notre mail pour toutes suggestions / propositions de films : laboitedechocolatmail@gmail.com Hébergé par Acast.

Las notas de Fabio Frizzi nos abren la puerta del inframundo, el sótano más inundado en un hotel de Lousiana oculta una de las siete puertas del infierno. Fulci el maestro de los gusanos y las entrañas, del terror orgánico, despliega sus obsesiones más enfermizas. Una mujer ciega -Cinzia Monreale- advierte a la propietaria del hotel maldito. La joven de pupilas blancas no puede explicarle el origen del terror, solo la avisa, es una enviada, procede del más allá y conoce las entidades oscuras. Visiones impactantes y efectos grotescos se suceden, saltamos de un escenario dantesco a otro peor, de un sótano anegado a una morgue de blancura diáfana, de una bañera podrida al mar de las tinieblas. Un argumento irracional, lo que ocurre en ese insólito hotel y ese hospital es de pesadilla, la condenación humana, y perruna, la maldición latente desde que mucho tiempo atrás una turba empareda y crucifica al pintor de un cuadro tenebroso, esa pintura del averno, el mismo escenario final, piélago de muerte donde las almas en pena se arrastran y el horizonte se antoja de tormento infinito. Fulci se debate entre el realismo truculento y estomagante y la fantasmagoría cósmica. El libro de Eibon, el que encuentra en la biblioteca el infeliz arquitecto, devorado después por tarántulas, parte de un texto del escritor Clark Ashton Smith, miembro del círculo de Lovecraft. El más allá (L´Aldilá) forma parte de la trilogía sobrenatural conocida como Las puertas del Infierno, junto a Miedo en la ciudad de los muertos vivientes, y Aquella casa al lado de cementerio. Con Catriona McColl como nexo de unión, sangre, vísceras, ojos desorbitados, y una legión de zombis momificados que hacen las delicias de los partidarios del cineasta romano, entre los que me encuentro. Esta noche procuramos no meter la mano en la bañera inmunda con fontanero incluido… Salvador Limón, Zacarías Cotán y Raúl Gallego.

En este místico viaje a través de Berlín, los ángeles, testigos silenciosos, contemplan la ciudad desde torreones y monumentos, la cámara salta y planea sobre los transeúntes, sobre los coches, ellos escuchan sus pensamientos e intentan confortar a los más infelices con su presencia invisible. El reflexivo film de Wenders exalta la celebración de la vida, el amor al prójimo y a uno mismo, como cantaba Walt Whitman en sus poemas. Wenders filmó sin un guion al uso, partía de poemas de Peter Handke, de versos iba recreando imágenes, de ahí la extrañeza que se pueda sentir, sobre todo en la primera parte, etérea y abstracta, con dos heraldos de la bondad que se reúnen en un coche para hacer recuento de sus notas, uno de ellos confiesa que está algo cansado de no poder sentir, desear, de una biblioteca luminosa, catedral de los libros, paraíso poblado de ángeles y mortales, lecturas que se confunden con la música de Jürgen Knieper. Los textos de Handke verbalizados por Homero, el anciano en busca de la plaza donde un día sintió algo parecido a la felicidad, la Postdamer Platz, se sienta en un sillón desvencijado, en medio de un solar baldío. El personaje de Peter Falk, un Colombo con su gabardina, hace de sí mismo, está trabajando en un film sobre la barbarie de la segunda guerra mundial, Wenders añadirá imágenes de archivo mostrando el terror de los bombardeos en Berlín. En la segunda parte el ritmo toma brío, Damiel ya pone los pies en la tierra el personaje de Bruno Ganz, prefiere renunciar a la inmortalidad, encarnarse y sentir el tacto de una trapecista en soledad, Solveig Dommartin, compañera en ese momento del director. Si en Paris Texas la unión entre Travis y la madre de su hijo ya es imposible, las alas del deseo de un ángel transformado en hombre si alcanzan a tocar la piel de su adorada contorsionista, a quien observa ahora desde abajo mientras levita como él solía hacer. Esta noche vendemos la armadura en una tienda de empeños… Raúl Gallego, Zacarías Cotán, y Chari Medina.

Craig Hemke, founder and editor of TF Metals Report, joins us to break down the recent volatility in precious metals following last week's gold tariff headlines - and the immediate backtrack. While daily swings grab headlines, Craig points out that gold remains in a strong long-term uptrend, recently posting its highest weekly close ever above $3,400. We discuss: Why gold's fundamentals remain bullish despite short-term noise and political headlines. The standout performance of gold and silver mining stocks, with GDX hitting highs not seen since 2011. How recent earnings reports reveal producers are far more profitable than many investors expected. Silver's breakout above $37–$38, its best levels in over a decade, and what it means for margins in Q3. The macro backdrop - weak economic data, Fed policy expectations, and the impact on the US dollar and metals prices. Craig also shares insights on positioning from the CoT reports, the potential for further upside in both metals, and why institutional sentiment could be shifting in favor of gold and silver producers.   Click here to visit Craig's website - TF Metals Report

AI could soon think in ways we don't even understand, increasing the risk of misalignment.This episode highlights a growing concern among AI researchers regarding the opacity of advanced artificial intelligence systems. These experts, from prominent AI companies, warn that the internal reasoning of AI, particularly large language models (LLMs), could become incomprehensible to humans, increasing the risk of misalignment and unforeseen harmful behaviours. A key area of focus is "chains of thought" (CoTs), the sequential steps LLMs take to solve problems, which researchers believe offer a vital but imperfect window into AI decision-making. The text explains that monitoring CoTs can help identify why AI goes awry or generates false information, but acknowledges limitations such as AI's ability to conceal reasoning, or operate without human-comprehensible CoTs. To address these issues, the researchers propose strategies to enhance CoT monitoring and transparency, emphasising its importance as an AI safety measure, despite the potential for future models to bypass such oversight.

Field support in franchising is often the make-or-break factor that determines whether a system thrives or stalls. While franchise development and operations get plenty of attention, the role of field coaching remains one of the most powerful, yet underutilized, levers for driving sustainable success across a franchise network. Angela Coté, Founder and CEO of Field Coach Experts, has made it her mission to transform how franchise brands think about field support. With over 25 years of hands-on experience growing M&M Food Markets to nearly 500 locations, Angela understands firsthand that franchisee success doesn't happen by chance—it happens through intentional, effective, and scalable support systems. Angela's work goes beyond traditional consulting. Through Field Coach Experts, she helps franchise systems build out the training, professional development, and best practices needed to maximize the impact of their field teams. Her approach is rooted in the belief that empowered, well-supported franchisees are the foundation for system-wide growth, brand consistency, and long-term profitability. At the core of field support in franchising is the relationship between the franchisor and the franchisee. Coté explains that strong field coaching is not about policing operations or enforcing compliance through fear. Instead, it's about developing trusted partnerships that empower franchise owners to reach their full potential. When franchisees feel supported—not scrutinized—they are far more likely to engage, perform, and remain committed to the brand's mission. Effective field support begins with redefining the role of the field coach. Traditionally seen as inspectors or operational enforcers, field coaches must now be positioned as business advisors, leadership mentors, and accountability partners. Coté emphasizes that today's franchisees expect more than just checklists—they want strategic conversations that help them overcome challenges, identify opportunities, and build better businesses. Angela also points out that field coaching isn't just about individual unit success. It plays a critical role in protecting brand integrity, ensuring consistency across locations, and creating a cohesive franchise community. When franchisees see the brand investing in their personal and professional growth, it creates a deeper connection to the system and fuels positive momentum across the network. Field support in franchising also needs to evolve to meet the demands of a changing business environment. Coté highlights how the rise of virtual communication, changing workforce expectations, and increasingly sophisticated franchisees require brands to rethink how support is delivered. Modern field coaching must be agile, proactive, and highly personalized to resonate with today's owners. Training field coaches is an essential piece of the puzzle. Coté advocates for a structured development path that equips field teams with the skills they need to succeed—not just operational knowledge, but also leadership coaching, relationship-building, and emotional intelligence. Franchise brands that invest in developing their field teams set themselves apart in a competitive market. Another critical aspect Angela stresses is the need for data-driven coaching. Successful field support programs leverage performance metrics, benchmarking, and goal setting to guide conversations and track progress. Without measurable results, coaching can easily become subjective or disconnected from the broader business objectives. Field support in franchising is ultimately about creating a win-win dynamic. When field teams are trained to coach rather than police, and franchisees are given the tools and encouragement they need to thrive, the entire system benefits. Unit-level profitability improves, brand loyalty deepens, and expansion opportunities grow stronger. Angela Coté's approach offers a fresh, forward-thinking blueprint for franchise systems ready to take their support programs to the next level. By investing in people, relationships, and strategic field coaching, franchisors can build healthier, more resilient brands that drive success for every stakeholder.

Scaling laws - the relationships among model size, data size, and compute - and how emergent abilities such as in-context learning, multi-step reasoning, and instruction following arise once certain scaling thresholds are crossed. The evolution of the transformer architecture with Mixture of Experts (MoE), describes the three-phase training process culminating in Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) for model alignment, and explores advanced reasoning techniques such as chain-of-thought prompting which significantly improve complex task performance.

Scaling Laws: Empirical research revealed that LLM performance improves predictably as model size (parameters), data size (training tokens), and compute are increased together, with diminishing returns if only one variable is scaled disproportionately. The "Chinchilla scaling law" (DeepMind, 2022) established the optimal model/data/compute ratio for efficient model performance: earlier large models like GPT-3 were undertrained relative to their size, whereas right-sized models with more training data (e.g., Chinchilla, LLaMA series) proved more compute and inference efficient. Emergent Abilities in LLMs Emergence: When trained beyond a certain scale, LLMs display abilities not present in smaller models, including: In-Context Learning (ICL): Performing new tasks based solely on prompt examples at inference time. Instruction Following: Executing natural language tasks not seen during training. Multi-Step Reasoning & Chain of Thought (CoT): Solving arithmetic, logic, or symbolic reasoning by generating intermediate reasoning steps. Discontinuity & Debate: These abilities appear abruptly in larger models, though recent research suggests that this could result from non-linearities in evaluation metrics rather than innate model properties. Architectural Evolutions: Mixture of Experts (MoE) MoE Layers: Modern LLMs often replace standard feed-forward layers with MoE structures. Composed of many independent "expert" networks specializing in different subdomains or latent structures. A gating network routes tokens to the most relevant experts per input, activating only a subset of parameters—this is called "sparse activation." Enables much larger overall models without proportional increases in compute per inference, but requires the entire model in memory and introduces new challenges like load balancing and communication overhead. Specialization & Efficiency: Experts learn different data/knowledge types, boosting model specialization and throughput, though care is needed to avoid overfitting and underutilization of specialists. The Three-Phase Training Process 1. Unsupervised Pre-Training: Next-token prediction on massive datasets—builds a foundation model capturing general language patterns. 2. Supervised Fine Tuning (SFT): Training on labeled prompt-response pairs to teach the model how to perform specific tasks (e.g., question answering, summarization, code generation). Overfitting and "catastrophic forgetting" are risks if not carefully managed. 3. Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF): Collects human preference data by generating multiple responses to prompts and then having annotators rank them. Builds a reward model (often PPO) based on these rankings, then updates the LLM to maximize alignment with human preferences (helpfulness, harmlessness, truthfulness). Introduces complexity and risk of reward hacking (specification gaming), where the model may exploit the reward system in unanticipated ways. Advanced Reasoning Techniques Prompt Engineering: The art/science of crafting prompts that elicit better model responses, shown to dramatically affect model output quality. Chain of Thought (CoT) Prompting: Guides models to elaborate step-by-step reasoning before arriving at final answers—demonstrably improves results on complex tasks. Variants include zero-shot CoT ("let's think step by step"), few-shot CoT with worked examples, self-consistency (voting among multiple reasoning chains), and Tree of Thought (explores multiple reasoning branches in parallel). Automated Reasoning Optimization: Frontier models selectively apply these advanced reasoning techniques, balancing compute costs with gains in accuracy and transparency. Optimization for Training and Inference Tradeoffs: The optimal balance between model size, data, and compute is determined not only for pretraining but also for inference efficiency, as lifetime inference costs may exceed initial training costs. Current Trends: Efficient scaling, model specialization (MoE), careful fine-tuning, RLHF alignment, and automated reasoning techniques define state-of-the-art LLM development.

Dans cet épisode, Olivier Babeau, analyse les enjeux de la grève à la SNCF. Il souligne que cette entreprise publique, dont l'État est l'unique actionnaire, semble avoir pour objectif de pousser les usagers à préférer la voiture. Selon lui, le service rendu n'est ni efficace ni efficient, avec un coût élevé pour les contribuables. Babaud pointe du doigt les privilèges accordés aux cheminots, tels que des salaires confortables, des facilités de circulation et des accords avantageux. Il estime que la SNCF symbolise les renoncements budgétaires et les lâchetés de la France à supprimer ces avantages exorbitants. Il plaide pour une ouverture à la concurrence et l'instauration d'un véritable service minimum protecteur pour les clients.Notre équipe a utilisé un outil d'Intelligence artificielle via les technologies d'Audiomeans© pour accompagner la création de ce contenu écrit.Distribué par Audiomeans.
