O que nos faz verdadeiramente diferentes de todo resto, sites, YouTube, Instagrão, podcasts e o escambau é essa nossa capacidade de passar muito mais tempo falando de Hermeto do que em Griffin, olhar com deslumbre exagerado para o impacto que Claudia Cardinale teve na vida dos mortais que ousaram encarar aquela beleza brutal ou até mesmo os delírios perdidos ao referir uma canção qualquer que não pode ser esquecida.João Valente, Bruno Bocayuva e Júlio Adler teimam em trazer ,de bandeja, os acepipes que atiçam o seu paladar para tudo que não interessava antes e passou a interessar depois de ouvir o Boia.A trilha traz, Hermeto, o Bruxo, com Quebrando Tudo, gravado ao vivo em Montreux, Crystal Method com Busy Child e John Martyn cantando (Danny Thompson no baixo!)

The great English bass player Danny Thompson died this week at the age of 86. He made signature contributions to hundreds of recordings and memorable concerts in his 70 year career. I only included 16 tracks today. He played on everything from trad folk to blues, jazz, African music, and country, as well as underpinning memorable singer songwriters' highest achievements. He was a remarkable humorist and MC as well. He will be sorely missed, but what a catalogue of music he has created and embellished for us to relish! Started the show with lots of music from Mali, then sprinkled some Danish music recently acquired, and added some stirring new Canadiana, too.

In this episode of the Modern Web Podcast, hosts Rob Ocel and Danny Thompson sit down with Mariano Cocirio, Staff Product Manager at Vercel, to discuss Fluid Compute, a new cloud computing model that blends the best of serverless scalability with traditional server efficiency. They explore the challenges of AI workloads in serverless environments, the high costs of idle time, and how Fluid Compute optimizes execution to reduce costs while maintaining performance. Mariano explains how this approach allows instances to handle multiple requests efficiently while still scaling to zero when not in use. The conversation also covers what developers need to consider when adopting this model, the impact on application architecture, and how to track efficiency gains using Vercel's observability tools.Is Fluid Compute the next step in the evolution of serverless? Is it redefining cloud infrastructure altogether?Keypoints Fluid Compute merges the best of servers and serverless – It combines the scalability of serverless with the efficiency and reusability of traditional servers, allowing instances to handle multiple requests while still scaling down to zero. AI workloads struggle with traditional serverless models – Serverless is optimized for quick, stateless functions, but AI models often require long processing times, leading to high costs for idle time. Fluid Compute solves this by dynamically managing resources. No major changes required for developers – Fluid Compute works like a standard Node or Python server, meaning developers don't need to change their code significantly. The only consideration is handling shared global state, similar to a traditional server environment. Significant cost savings and efficiency improvements – Vercel's observability tools show real-time reductions in compute costs, with some early adopters seeing up to 85% savings simply by enabling Fluid Compute.Chapters0:00 – Introduction and Guest Welcome1:08 – What is Fluid Compute?

“Bless the Weather” by Iain David McGeachy, OBE (1948-2009)— known to the public as John Martyn, is an emblem of the unfathomable mysteries of the universe: How could music so divinely comforting have emanated from one so troubled? Of course, treading the path of this maestro's biography we find the familiar signposts of drug addiction, marital abuse, alcoholism, and psychic distress. And yet. this spiritual offering translates as only gentleness and pure peace. 'Tis a puzzlement.Well, humans are complex, or as he himself wrote: “some people are crazy.”  In 1980, after Martyn's break up with wife and partner Beverly, this “father of TripHop” created “Grace and Danger”, which his friend and label owner, Chris Blackwell refused to release for a year because he felt it was “too disturbing”. So, I guess it wasn't all hearts and flowers. And yet, even there, the folk-jazz improvisations, abetted by the agile bass fingerings of Danny Thompson, lull, even as they hint at a provocation. Be that as it may, on this cut the soothing, vibrational waves of guitar and voice align my brain waves in such a way that I can feel my heart rate immediately relax. It is a meditation; a connection to the eternal one-ness.
