Day 1,440.Today, as Ukrainians endure temperatures of minus -20 degrees Celsius and Russia marks the end of its so-called “energy ceasefire” with a new mass aerial attack, we ask what is stopping Donald Trump from simply urging Vladimir Putin to spare Ukraine's energy infrastructure for another week. We report on NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte's address to Ukraine's parliament, examining what he meant by the “difficult choices” Kyiv may face in pursuit of peace. And later, with the START nuclear treaty due to expire this month, Adélie speaks to two researchers about nuclear signalling – and how to interpret what Moscow and Washington really mean behind their public statements.ContributorsDominic Nicholls (Associate Editor of Defence). @DomNicholls on X.Francis Dearnley (Executive Editor for Audio). @FrancisDearnley on X.Adélie Pojzman-Pontay (Journalist and Producer). @adeliepjz on X.SIGN UP TO THE ‘UKRAINE: THE LATEST' WEEKLY NEWSLETTER:http://telegraph.co.uk/ukrainenewsletter Each week, Dom Nicholls and Francis Dearnley answer your questions, provide recommended reading, and give exclusive analysis and behind-the-scenes insights – plus maps of the frontlines and diagrams of weapons to complement our daily reporting.

Day 1,439.Today, as Vladimir Putin's so-called “energy ceasefire” is reportedly broken once again, we report on another weekend of devastating Russian strikes on Ukraine – including an attack that killed 15 miners when drones hit their bus during a near Dnipro, and a strike on a maternity hospital in Zaporizhzhya that injured at least six.

Day 1,435.Today, as President Zelensky warns that Russia is preparing “a new massive strike”, we examine growing speculation that an undeclared truce may be in place regarding strikes on energy infrastructure. We then turn to the Russian press, where a local war memorial in the Urals appears to have inadvertently revealed the true scale of Russian casualties, and an unlikely scandal involving a baker that has caused fresh embarrassment for Vladimir Putin.

Day 1,434.Today, as Russia kills five civilians in a drone attack targeting a passenger train in Ukraine, we report on how a senior European diplomat has said the world must call this what it is: terrorism. As President Zelensky urges all “decent people of the world” not to remain silent in the face of Russian war crimes, we examine a new US assessment which concludes that Russia has suffered more military losses than any major power in any conflict since the Second World War. We also ask whether the North Sea and Baltic Sea are now effectively closed to Russia's shadow fleet following coordinated action by 14 European countries. Plus, we speak to colleagues at The Telegraph about why EU leaders' long-held ambitions to turn the European Union into a genuine geopolitical power may, at last, be taken seriously.

It's been another wild week around here with the Oilers rollercoaster making another loop, and I've got a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never ready to recap it all. On today's podcast, I talked about the Oilers' defence coming up big, Edmonton's 10th attempt at winning three straight, Josh Samanski's first NHL game, and much more.I kicked off this week's episode with a look at the Jasper Pond Hockey tournament and how this year's tournament was as amazing as ever. That gave me another chance to talk about how everyone needs to get involved if you're able, because it really is an experience like no other. Shifting back to the Oilers, I started with the run of NHL records set by Edmonton's defence, and how unreal that run of secondary scoring has been. We all want the Oilers to score more goals, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who expected such an explosion from the back end.Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a guest Righteous Sack Beating before closing out the podcast with another round of voicemails. The voicemail was alive this week, and everyone's takes ranged from what you're nerdy about to Oilers talk and everything in between. The voicemail is the best way to wrap up the show and give everyone a chance to share their thoughts. Another hearty thank you to everyone who contributed to this week's episode. Having all of you in the mix makes the show so much better.Want to leave a voicemail for next week's show? Do it here!

Day 1,433.Today, amid increased Russian military pressure in the Donbas, and as Ukraine faces what the NATO Secretary General calls its “harshest winter for a decade”, we bring you the latest from the Ukraine peace talks, where the United States is understood to be increasing pressure on President Zelensky's government to concede territory to Russia before Washington grants any security guarantees. But is Moscow's position under Vladimir Putin softer than it appears, as some allege?

It's Tuesday afternoon, and there's a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio set, which means the boys were back in the studio to recap the week that was. On today's episode, the guys discussed the Oilers' record-setting run by defencemen, Josh Samanski's NHL debut, and much more.We kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about Josh Samanski's NHL debut, and how everyone thought the undrafted centre fared in his first game as an Oiler. While he played only 7:43 in TOI, Samanski was noticeable in his first game in the bigs, and the boys spent a few minutes talking about how he didn't look out of place. Given that he played two years of pro hockey in Germany, it definitely looked like he was comfortable playing in that third-line role.Changing gears, we looked at how the Oilers set two NHL records in Monday's game against the Ducks. Starting with the four goals by defencemen in a span of only 3:49, it was wild to see Edmonton's d-men getting into the rush with that much space as often as they were. From there, we looked at the back-to-back hat tricks by Evan Bouchard and Mattias Ekholm, and how it was the first time in NHL history where two defencemen scored hat tricks in consecutive games. Finally, we wrapped up the episode of ONR with another round of Baggedmilk's Trivia. With none of the other boys coming up with anything new, the guys went back to old faithful with a round of Devils-related Baggedmilk Trivia questions. Think you know your San Jose Sharks history? This game was for you. Did the quizmaster have to step in? Did Baggedmilk get his questions right? You'll have to listen to find out for sure. Hosted on Acast.

To achieve true compliance, MLOps teams need to access and analyse the internal reasoning of their models to achieve compliance with the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and other requirements.In this session, Mike introduces the company's patent-pending AI assurance technology that moves beyond statistical proxies. He will break down the architecture of the Synapses Logger, a patent-pending technology that embeds directly into the neural activation flow to capture weights, activations, and activation paths in real-time.// BioMike Oaten serves as the CEO of TIKOS, leading the company's mission to progress trustworthy AI through unique, high-performance AI model assurance technology. A seasoned technical and data entrepreneur, Mike brings experience from successfully co-founding and exiting two previous data science startups: Riskopy Inc. (acquired by Nasdaq-listed Coupa Software in 2017) and Regulation Technologies Limited (acquired by mnAi Data Solutions in 2022).Mike's expertise spans data, analytics, and ML product and governance leadership. At TIKOS, Mike leads a VC-backed team developing technology to test and monitor deep-learning models in high-stakes environments, such as defence and financial services, so they comply with the stringent new laws and regulations.// Related LinksWebsite: https://tikos.tech/LLM guardrails: https://medium.com/tikos-tech/your-llm-output-is-confidently-wrong-heres-how-to-fix-it-08194fdf92b9Model Bias: https://medium.com/tikos-tech/from-hints-to-hard-evidence-finally-how-to-find-and-fix-model-bias-in-dnns-2553b072fd83Model Robustness: https://medium.com/tikos-tech/tikos-spots-neural-network-weaknesses-before-they-fail-the-iris-dataset-b079265c04daGPU Optimisation: https://medium.com/tikos-tech/400x-performance-a-lightweight-open-source-python-cuda-utility-to-break-vram-barriers-d545e5b6492fHyperbolic GPU Cloud: app.hyperbolic.ai.Coding Agents Conference: https://luma.com/codingagents~~~~~~~~ ✌️Connect With Us ✌️ ~~~~~~~Catch all episodes, blogs, newsletters, and more: https://go.mlops.community/TYExploreJoin our Slack community [https://go.mlops.community/slack]Follow us on X/Twitter [@mlopscommunity](https://x.com/mlopscommunity) or [LinkedIn](https://go.mlops.community/linkedin)] Sign up for the next meetup: [https://go.mlops.community/register]MLOps Swag/Merch: [https://shop.mlops.community/]Connect with Demetrios on LinkedIn: /dpbrinkmConnect with Mike on LinkedIn: /mike-oaten/Timestamps:[00:00] Regulations as Opportunity[00:25] Regulation Compliance Fun[02:49] AI Act Layers Explained[05:19] Observability in Systems vs ML[09:05] Risk Transfer in AI[11:26] LLMs and Model Approval[14:53] LLMs in Finance[17:17] Hyperbolic GPU Cloud Ad[18:16] Stakeholder Alignment and Tech[22:20] AI in Regulated Environments[28:55] Autonomous Boat Regulations[34:20] Data Compliance Mapping[39:11] Data Capture Strategy[41:13] EU AI Act Insights[44:52] Wrap up[45:45] Join the Coding Agents Conference!

Day 1,432.Today, as Kyiv endures sub-zero temperatures, we report on Russia's latest mass aerial attack on the city, carried out even as trilateral so-called peace talks were taking place in Abu Dhabi over the weekend. We examine Steve Witkoff's latest visit to Moscow – he has still yet to travel to Ukraine – and ask why Russia is now pushing the opaque “Alaska formula” in a bid to secure territory it has failed to seize by force.

Day 1,427.Today, as Donald Trump heads to Davos with what he calls “good news” about Greenland, we examine prime minister of Canada Mark Carney's extraordinary speech at Davos where he warned that we cannot “live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination”. We also report on Moscow's representative to the IAEA dismissing global concern over Russia's strikes on Ukraine's nuclear power plants as overblown.

Is four months too short a turnaround for a guest on Midrats? Not if the topic at hand keeps running to the top of your read board.From the unending diplomacy responding to the Trump Administration's unending drive to get Greenland's geography—and the resulting security—more firmly under American control, to the sitcom-worthy deployment of a couple of dozen “Coalition of the Freezing”—Greenland can't-stop-won't-stop from gathering eyeballs and attention.So, we're bringing back Elizabeth Buchanan for another visit. We'll use her recent article in The Spectator as starting off point, A buyer's guide to Greenland.Dr. Elizabeth Buchanan is a senior fellow with the Australian Strategic Policy Institute and an expert associate of the French Ministry of Armed Forces' Institute for Strategic Research.Most recently she was Head of Research for the Royal Australian Navy (Department of Defence).

The conversation delves into the historical context of U.S.-Greenland relations, particularly in light of recent tensions and discussions surrounding Greenland's potential independence. Dr. Buchanan emphasizes the importance of understanding Greenland's strategic position in the Arctic, especially regarding U.S. national security interests and the implications of a changing global landscape, including China's growing influence. The dialogue also touches on the complexities of Greenland's relationship with Denmark and the potential for a direct U.S.-Greenland partnership.Chapters00:00: Introduction and Overview of Greenland's Importance02:38: Historical Context of U.S.-Greenland Relations05:52: The 2004 Defense Treaty and Its Implications12:23: Greenland's Independence Movement and Future Prospects31:50: Best Case Scenarios for U.S.-Greenland Relations32:17: Understanding the Scrappy Spirit of Greenland39:12: The Geopolitical Landscape: Europe and the U.S.54:31: Greenland's Future: Independence or Status Quo?

Brain-eating amoebae are only the start of it. Just you wait until Clayton Aldern talks you through the ways big and small that climate change is changing what it means to be you. From your mood to your expectations and even your mental model of the whole world - your consciousness itself, for Chrissakes - Clayton explains with brilliant clarity how your brain is climate. Clayton Page Aldern is the author of the compelling The Weight of Nature. Its strapline is "How a Changing Climate Changes Our Minds, Brains and Bodies" - so bang on the turf of this show, I simply had to get him on. But as he says in the chat, it's not really a book about climate change at all. Instead his book - and this episode - are about what it really means to be a lifeform embedded in the world around it, whether you're a bat, a cat, or a human. I loved the book and I hope you enjoy this chat.

The Prosecution & Defence gave opening statements today in the murder trial of Brendan Banfield, the former IRS agent charged with four counts of aggravated murder in the deaths of his wife Christine Banfield and Joseph Ryan. Prosecutors allege Banfield and the family's au pair, Juliana Peres Magalhães, lured Ryan to their Herndon home through a fetish website and staged the killings as a home invasion.The defense argues digital forensics contradict the catfishing theory and that investigators who disagreed were reassigned. Banfield faces life without parole if convicted.
