In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop sits down with astrologer and researcher C.T. Lucero for a wide-ranging conversation that weaves through ancient astrology, the evolution of calendars, the intersection of science and mysticism, and the influence of digital tools like AI on symbolic interpretation. They explore the historical lineage from Hellenistic Greece to the Persian golden age, discuss the implications of the 2020 Saturn-Jupiter conjunction, touch on astrocartography, and reflect on the information age's shifting paradigms. For more on the guest's work, check out ctlucero.com.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart Alsop introduces C.T. Lucero; they begin discussing time cycles and the metaphor of Monday as an unfolding future.05:00 Astrology's historical roots in Hellenistic Greece and Persian Baghdad; the transmission and recovery of ancient texts.10:00 The role of astrology in medicine and timing; predictive precision and interpreting symbolic calendars.15:00 Scientism vs. astrological knowledge; the objective reliability of planetary movement compared to shifting cultural narratives.20:00 Use of AI and large language models in astrology; the limits and future potential of automation in interpretation.25:00 Western vs. Vedic astrology; the sidereal vs. tropical zodiac debate and cultural preservation of techniques.30:00 Christianity, astrology, and the problem of idolatry; Jesus' position in relation to celestial knowledge.35:00 The Saturn-Jupiter conjunction of 2020; vaccine rollout and election disputes as symbolic markers.40:00 The Mayan Venus calendar and its eight-year cycle; 2020 as the true “end of the world.”45:00 Media manipulation, air-age metaphors, and digital vs. analog paradigms; the rise of new empires.50:00 Astrocartography and relocation charts; using place to understand personal missions.Key InsightsAstrology as a Temporal Framework: C.T. Lucero presents astrology not as mysticism but as a sophisticated calendar system rooted in observable planetary cycles. He compares astrological timekeeping to how we intuitively understand days of the week—Sunday indicating rest, Monday bringing activity—arguing that longer astrological cycles function similarly on broader scales.Historical Continuity and Translation: The episode traces astrology's lineage from Hellenistic Greece through Persian Baghdad and into modernity. Lucero highlights the massive translation efforts over the past 30 years, particularly by figures like Benjamin Dykes, which have recovered lost knowledge and corrected centuries of transcription errors, contributing to what he calls astrology's third golden age.Cultural and Linguistic Barriers to Knowledge: Lucero and Alsop discuss how language borders—historically with Latin and Greek, and now digitally with regional languages—have obscured access to valuable knowledge. This extends to old medical practices and astrology, which were often dismissed simply because their documentation wasn't widely accessible.Astrology vs. Scientism: Lucero critiques scientism for reducing prediction to material mechanisms while ignoring symbolic and cyclical insights that astrology offers. He stresses astrology's predictive power lies in pattern recognition and contextual interpretation, not in deterministic forecasts.Astrology and the Digital Age: AI and LLMs are starting to assist astrologers by generating interpretations and extracting planetary data, though Lucero points out that deep symbolic synthesis still exceeds AI's grasp. Specialized astrology AIs are emerging, built by domain experts for richer, more accurate analysis.Reevaluating Vedic and Mayan Systems: Lucero asserts that Western and Vedic astrology share a common origin, and even the Mayan Venus calendar may reflect the same underlying system. While the Indian tradition preserved techniques lost in the West, both traditions illuminate astrology's adaptive yet consistent core.2020 as a Historical Turning Point: According to Lucero, the Saturn-Jupiter conjunction of December 2020 marked the start of a 20-year societal cycle and the end of a Mayan Venus calendar “day.” He links this to transformative events like the vaccine rollout and U.S. election, framing them as catalysts for long-term shifts in trust, governance, and culture.

Brian #1: Open Source Security work isn't “Special” Seth Larson It seems like security is special in a sense that we don't want just anyone working on the security aspect of a project. We just want the trusted maintainers, right? Seth is arguing that this is the wrong mindset It makes more sense that we maybe have security experts contribute to many projects, and that someone working on security for just one project doesn't benefit from scale. “Maintainers don't see how other projects are triaging vulnerabilities and can't learn from each other. They can't compare notes on what they are seeing and whether they are doing the right thing. Isolation in security work breeds a culture of fear. Fear of doing the wrong thing and making your users unsafe.” “These “security contributors” could be maintainers or contributors of other open source projects that know about security, they could be foundations offering up resources to their ecosystem, or engineers at companies helping their dependency graph.” But how do we build trust in these individuals? Meeting in person works. But there are other ways as well. I'd personally love to have someone contact me about a project of mine regarding a security problem or process that the project could/should follow. Especially if I could see other projects I trust already trusting this individual to work on the other projects.

Talk Python To Me - Python conversations for passionate developers
Every year the core developers of Python convene in person to focus on high priority topics for CPython and beyond. This year they met at PyCon US 2025. Those meetings are closed door to keep focused and productive. But we're lucky that Seth Michael Larson was in attendance and wrote up each topic presented and the reactions and feedback to each. We'll be exploring this year's Language Summit with Seth. It's quite insightful to where Python is going and the pressing matters.

We're in the midst of summer and we know that power outages can happen more frequently during this season due to higher temperatures and an increased demand for electricity. A couple years ago we sat down with Ram Rajagopal, an expert in the future of electrical power. He shared a few ways our existing system of massive power plants is slowly but surely giving way to a much leaner, decentralized system of small-scale power generation. Ram refers to this as a move from an “infrastructure-centric” model to a “human-centric” grid — one that will be much smarter, more inclusive and better able to adapt to the needs of individual users. It's a topic that impacts all of us and we hope you'll tune in again for a refresher on how the electric grid works and how it's evolving.Have a question for Russ?

Add your name and email to our friends of the show list, we'll never share it. Brian #1: Switching to direnv, Starship, and uv Last week I mentioned that I'm ready to try direnv again, but secretly, I still had some worries about the process. Thankfully, Trey has a tutorial to walk me past the troublesome parts. direnv - an extension for your shell. It augments existing shells with a new feature that can load and unload environment variables depending on the current directory. Switching from virtualenvwrapper to direnv, Starship, and uv - Trey Hunner** Trey has solved a bunch of the problems I had when I tried direnv before Show the virtual environment name in the prompt Place new virtual environments in local .venv instead of in .direnv/python3.12 Silence all of the “loading”, “unloading” statements every time you enter a directory Have a script called venv to create an environment, activate it, create a .envrc file I'm more used to a create script, so I'll stick with that name and Trey's contents A workon script to be able to switch around to different projects. This is a carry over from “virtualenvwrapper', but seems cool. I'll take it. Adding uv to the mix for creating virtual environments. Interestingly including --seed which, for one, installs pip in the new environment. (Some tools need it, even if you don't) Starship Trey also has some setup for Starship. But I'll get through the above first, then MAYBE try Starship again. Some motivation Trey's setup is pretty simple. Maybe I was trying to get too fancy before Starship config in toml files that can be loaded with direnv and be different for different projects. Neato Also, Trey mentions his dotfiles repo. This is a cool idea that I've been meaning to do for a long time. See also: It's Terminal - Bootstrapping With Starship, Just, Direnv, and UV - Mario Munoz Michael #2: rqlite - Distributed SQLite DB via themlu, thanks! rqlite is a lightweight, user-friendly, distributed relational database built on SQLite. Built on SQLite, the world's most popular database Supports full-text search, Vector Search, and JSON documents Access controls and encryption for secure deployments Michael #3: A Python dict that can report which keys you did not use by Peter Bengtsson Very cool for testing that a dictionary has been used as expected (e.g. all data has been sent out via an API or report). Note: It does NOT track d.get(), but it's easy to just add it to the class in the post. Maybe someone should polish it up and put it on pypi (that person is not me :) ). Brian #4: Some Markdown Stuff Textual 4.0.0 adds Markdown.append which can be used to efficiently stream markdown content The reason for the major bump is due to an interface change to Widget.anchor Refreshing to see a symantic change cause a major version bump. html-to-markdown Converts html to markdown A complete rewrite fork of markdownify Lots of fun features like “streaming support” Curious if it can stream to Textual's Markdown.append method. hmmm. Joke: Vibecon is hard to attend

Talk Python To Me - Python conversations for passionate developers
Why do people list to this podcast? Sure, they're looking for technical explorations of new libraries and ideas. But often it's to hear the story behind them. If that speaks to you, then I have the perfect episode lined up. I have Barry Warsaw, Paul Everitt, Carol Willing, and Brett Cannon all back on the show to share stories from the history of Python. You'll hear about how import this came to be and how the first PyCon had around 30 attendees (two of whom are guests on this episode!). Sit back and enjoy the humorous stories from Python's past.

In this conversation, we explore AI bias, transformative justice, and the future of technology with Dr. Avriel Epps, computational social scientist, Civic Science Postdoctoral Fellow at Cornell University's CATLab, and co-founder of AI for Abolition.What makes this conversation unique is how it begins with Avriel's recently published children's book, A Kids Book About AI Bias (Penguin Random House), designed for ages 5-9. As an accomplished researcher with a PhD from Harvard and expertise in how algorithmic systems impact identity development, Avriel has taken on the remarkable challenge of translating complex technical concepts about AI bias into accessible language for the youngest learners.Key themes we explore:- The Translation Challenge: How to distill graduate-level research on algorithmic bias into concepts a six-year-old can understand—and why kids' unfiltered responses to AI bias reveal truths adults often struggle to articulate- Critical Digital Literacy: Why building awareness of AI bias early can serve as a protective mechanism for young people who will be most vulnerable to these systems- AI for Abolition: Avriel's nonprofit work building community power around AI, including developing open-source tools like "Repair" for transformative and restorative justice practitioners- The Incentive Problem: Why the fundamental issue isn't the technology itself, but the economic structures driving AI development—and how communities might reclaim agency over systems built from their own data- Generational Perspectives: How different generations approach digital activism, from Gen Z's innovative but potentially ephemeral protest methods to what Gen Alpha might bring to technological resistanceThroughout our conversation, Avriel demonstrates how critical analysis of technology can coexist with practical hope. Her work embodies the belief that while AI currently reinforces existing inequalities, it doesn't have to—if we can change who controls its development and deployment.The conversation concludes with Avriel's ongoing research into how algorithmic systems shaped public discourse around major social and political events, and their vision for "small tech" solutions that serve communities rather than extracting from them.For anyone interested in AI ethics, youth development, or the intersection of technology and social justice, this conversation offers both rigorous analysis and genuine optimism about what's possible when we center equity in technological development.About Dr. Avriel Epps:Dr. Avriel Epps (she/they) is a computational social scientist and a Civic Science Postdoctoral Fellow at the Cornell University CATLab. She completed her Ph.D. at Harvard University in Education with a concentration in Human Development. She also holds an S.M. in Data Science from Harvard's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and a B.A. in Communication Studies from UCLA. Previously a Ford Foundation predoctoral fellow, Avriel is currently a Fellow at The National Center on Race and Digital Justice, a Roddenberry Fellow, and a Public Voices Fellow on Technology in the Public Interest with the Op-Ed Project in partnership with the MacArthur Foundation.Avriel is also the co-founder of AI4Abolition, a community organization dedicated to increasing AI literacy in marginalized communities and building community power with and around data-driven technologies. Avriel has been invited to speak at various venues including tech giants like Google and TikTok, and for The U.S. Courts, focusing on algorithmic bias and fairness. In the Fall of 2025, she will begin her tenure as Assistant Professor of Fair and Responsible Data Science at Rutgers University.Links:- Dr. Epps' official website: https://www.avrielepps.com- AI for Abolition: https://www.ai4.org- A Kids Book About AI Bias details: https://www.avrielepps.com/book

Then I'm picking them all up again because I have separation anxiety.”
Andreas Voniatis, founder of Arteos and author of "Data-Driven SEO with Python," is revolutionizing the SEO landscape by integrating data science and AI into organic growth strategies. He emphasizes the need for businesses, particularly in the B2B and technology sectors, to move beyond traditional SEO practices that often rely on guesswork. Instead, Fanatis advocates for a math-driven approach that leverages data to ensure that companies can achieve exponential growth in their online visibility and traffic.As the conversation unfolds, Voniatis discusses the significant shift in user behavior from traditional search engines, which typically present a list of links, to AI-driven interactions that provide summarized answers. This evolution poses a challenge for businesses, as they must adapt to a landscape where AI can solve problems directly, potentially bypassing the need for human expertise. Voniatis argues that to remain relevant, companies must prepare for a future where AI not only recommends content but also understands the nuances of their offerings.The discussion also highlights the importance of creating unique, data-rich content that stands out in an increasingly crowded digital space. Voniatis explains that simply producing high-quality content is no longer sufficient; businesses must ensure their content correlates with AI's understanding of truth and relevance. By focusing on proprietary insights and addressing the specific needs of target audiences, companies can differentiate themselves from competitors who rely on generic SEO strategies.Finally, Voniatis outlines key metrics for measuring success in this new SEO paradigm. He emphasizes the importance of tracking both traffic sources and brand searches to gauge the effectiveness of SEO efforts. By blending data science with creative content strategies, businesses can not only improve their search rankings but also enhance their overall brand visibility and engagement in the digital marketplace.

Even if your setter accepts different types, the type checker will complain on assignment.” Will describes a way to get around this and make type checkers happy. He replaces @property with a descriptor. It's a cool technique. I also like the way Will is allowing different ways to use a property such that it's more convenient for the user. This is a cool deverloper usability trick. Brian #3: complexipy Calculates the cognitive complexity of Python files, written in Rust. Based on the cognitive complexity measurement described in a white paper by Sonar Cognitive complexity builds on the idea of cyclomatic complexity. Cyclomatic complexity was intended to measure the “testability and maintainability” of the control flow of a module. Sonar argues that it's fine for testability, but doesn't do well with measuring the “maintainability” part. So they came up with a new measure. Cognitive complexity is intended to reflects the relative difficulty of understanding, and therefore of maintaining methods, classes, and applications. complexipy essentially does that, but also has a really nice color output. Note: at the very least, you should be using “cyclomatic complexity” try with ruff check --select C901 But also try complexipy. Great for understanding which functions might be ripe for refactoring, adding more documentation, surrounding with more tests, etc. Michael #4: juvio uv kernel for Jupyter ⚙️ Automatic Environment Setup: When the notebook is opened, Juvio installs the dependencies automatically in an ephemeral virtual environment (using uv), ensuring that the notebook runs with the correct versions of the packages and Python
