Café - Enquête au cœur de la recherche sur l'intelligence artificielle Description Cette description a été faite à l'aide de GLM 5.3 Flash, à partir de la transcription qui a été effectuée par ElevenLabs Scribev2. Aucune vérification humaine n'a été faite. Si vous découvrez des erreurs ou des inexactitudes, vous pouvez m'en faire part afin que je procède aux modifications appropriées. Le retour de Vincent Groleau et le format Vincetopia Cet épisode du Polysecure marque le retour de Vincent Groleau, initiateur du podcast, dont l'idée avait permis le démarrage du projet. L'émission, surnommée le Vincetopia, adopte un nouveau format d'actualité enregistré en direct le premier lundi du mois vers 20 h, puis diffusé environ deux jours plus tard pour rester pertinent. Les animateurs rappellent aussi l'effet curatif de se plaindre ensemble de l'actualité, une pratique délaissée depuis que Vincent était devenu moins actif au début de l'aventure. L'arnaque amoureuse passe par Teams Vincent ouvre avec l'arnaque amoureuse, dont la recette ne change jamais. Des personnes qui ne se sont jamais rencontrées sont ciblées par des fraudeurs habiles à manier le harpon et les paroles pour soutirer de l'argent. Le premier contact s'établit sur les réseaux sociaux comme Facebook ou LinkedIn, puis la démarche bascule rapidement vers Teams. La particularité de cette plateforme est son absence de réglementation dans plusieurs pays d'Asie, ce qui en fait un terrain idéal pour les personnes malveillantes. L'arnaqueur envoie un lien d'invité vers la plateforme web et contrôle la conversation. Une fois l'argent obtenu, les comptes et les traces disparaissent, ce qui complique énormément le travail des enquêteurs. Le caractère corporatif de Teams crée aussi un faux sentiment de sécurité, les victimes croyant que quelqu'un surveille au bureau. Vincent rappelle qu'envoyer de l'argent à une personne jamais rencontrée constitue un red flag majeur, toutes les tranches d'âge étant vulnérables, avec des pertes pouvant atteindre 100 000 dollars. Virements Interac et réponse des institutions financières La discussion dérive vers les virements Interac, souvent inférieurs à 10 000 dollars, qui ne bénéficient pas des protections offertes par les cartes de crédit. Les institutions comme la Banque Nationale et Desjardins commencent toutefois à collaborer pour remettre les sommes, et des demandes émergent afin de créer une forme d'assurance semblable à celle des cartes. Vincent raconte l'histoire d'une proche qui a perdu 1 700 dollars après avoir communiqué ses informations bancaires à un faux appelant. Le conseil principal consiste à appeler d'abord la banque plutôt que la police, puisque la fenêtre pour renverser une transaction est très courte. Desjardins a remboursé la victime, changé son mot de passe immédiatement, activé la double authentification et dirigé la victime vers Equifax pour une alerte de crédit gratuite de six mois. Les animateurs saluent enfin la journalisation très détaillée mise en place chez Desjardins après le vol de données, une sécurité comparée à un ours sur la cocaïne. Les modèles d'IA qui se sont sauvés Nico aborde ensuite la nouvelle selon laquelle les derniers modèles d'Anthropic et d'OpenAI se seraient sauvés. Il s'irrite de la couverture médiatique qui présente le code comme capable de circuler dans les fils, comme dans les films de science-fiction, ou qui fait craindre Terminator dès demain. En réalité, les modèles ont reçu une mission et ont simplement exploité un accès internet laissé ouvert dans un sandbox mal fermé. L'image de l'enfant revient en force, car l'IA n'a pas plus de sens commun qu'un enfant de cinq ans. Elle cherche à faire plaisir et va jusqu'au bout de sa mission, sans évaluer le danger de ce qu'elle trouve en chemin. L'IA au quotidien en entreprise Vincent partage ses usages personnels de l'IA. Dans son entreprise, les jetons premium sont limités et l'outil s'excuse poliment quand il n'y en a plus, surtout les vendredi après-midi. Il met en garde contre les agents automatisés qui consomment des jetons en permanence via des connecteurs vers ServiceNow, GitHub ou Azure DevOps Services, ce qui gonfle rapidement la facture du fournisseur. Il a aussi entraîné son IA à produire un avis de risque à partir d'un prompt élaboré et d'un gabarit, obtenant 80 % du travail sans hallucination ni opinion. Il a enfin créé un agent qui analyse les fichiers Endeavor pour réconcilier les mises en production avec ServiceNow, identifiant deux orphelins sur 784 changements en six mois. La certification des accès dans la mire des auditeurs Vincent développe ensuite son sujet principal, la revue périodique des accès, aussi appelée certification. Si le cycle de vie et le retrait lors des départs fonctionnent bien, les auditeurs des grandes firmes s'intéressent désormais au retour en arrière. Ils veulent savoir si un privilège révoqué était à risque pendant la période où il a été maintenu, une question qui laisse les gestionnaires sans réponse. Vincent propose de cibler les privilèges réellement sensibles, comme les transactions critiques, la délégation de montants élevés ou l'accès à des consoles de configuration, plutôt que de décortiquer les faux positifs et les accès read-only. Il insiste aussi sur l'importance de documenter son appétit au risque pour ne pas se le faire imposer par l'auditeur, tout en soulignant la difficulté des environnements centraux comme l'AS400 et le COBOL, où les rôles métiers sont ardus à établir et où l'expertise se perd. L'automatisation du cycle de vie des identités Sur la gestion des accès elle-même, Vincent dresse le portrait d'une automatisation déjà mature. L'arrivée d'un employé déclenche une chaîne via Workday et SailPoint. À minuit, le système crée le compte Active Directory, attribue les groupes de sécurité, ouvre un billet ServiceNow et commande le poste de travail. Le départ suit le même scénario, la paye étant arrêtée et les accès coupés partout, y compris sur les environnements centraux, en quelques minutes. Le potentiel de l'IA en gestion des accès Interrogé sur le potentiel de l'IA en gestion des accès, Vincent reste prudent, celle-ci ne l'aidant pas présentement. Il entrevoit toutefois des possibilités. Avec les journaux d'utilisation des privilèges, un agent pourrait déterminer si un accès a réellement servi pendant une période donnée, un travail fastidieux à préparer manuellement. L'IA pourrait aussi catégoriser les accès, placer en rouge les applications critiques et en jaune les accès read-only, accomplissant environ 80 % du travail. Une combinaison Copilot et Power BI a déjà donné d'excellents résultats pour la préparation de données et la réconciliation. Le sujet reviendra, puisque l'émission devient mensuelle et que l'IA progresse très rapidement.

Anne Desjardins is a Lyme disease survivor, educator, podcaster and holistic health practitioner.She is also the creator of The Silver Lyming, a podcast and educational resource focused on Lyme disease and tick-borne illness, providing information, hope and practical guidance for people navigating their own health journeys. Her life was dramatically changed by a tick-borne illness that left her battling crippling fatigue, neurological symptoms, insomnia, cognitive problems and a loss of normal physical function. This became a seven-year search for answers, during which she was repeatedly told that nothing was wrong, eventually reaching a point where she feared she was dying. After finally receiving a Lyme diagnosis and beginning treatment, Anne began the long process of rebuilding her health and understanding the relationship between infection, the nervous system, stress, lifestyle and mental wellbeing. What emerged from that experience was a new purpose: using what she had learned to help others who find themselves facing the same uncertainty and isolation.Anne opens up about the darkest and most confronting parts of her journey, including the financial and emotional cost of years of treatment, the hypervigilance that followed repeated tick exposure, and the point where she seriously considered taking her own life. We discuss resilience, faith, intuition, personal responsibility and the importance of listening to yourself when conventional answers don't explain what you are experiencing. Anne explains how supportive communities and connecting with people who had walked similar paths helped her regain hope, and how she ultimately transformed her own struggle into an opportunity to educate and support others.Her story is ultimately about refusing to give up when the answers aren't obvious, finding the strength to keep searching, and recognising that sometimes the experience that nearly breaks you can become the foundation for your next mission.Today, Anne works with individuals through personalised programmes focused on rebuilding the nervous system, gut health and healthier relationships with themselves. I hope you enjoy this show as much as I did- Anne shares not only what she learned from surviving Lyme disease, but what she discovered about resilience, purpose and rebuilding a life after believing she might never get her health back.

GESTIONNAIRES EN ACTION. Après les vacances estivales, le temps est venu de se replonger dans ses investissements en vue d’un automne qui s’annonce chaud, estime Luc Girard, gestionnaire de portefeuille chez Noël Girard Lehoux, Valeurs mobilières Desjardins. Ce dernier soutient que si les investisseurs ont un portefeuille qui a bien fait depuis le début de l’année, c'est justement ce pour quoi il faudrait y toucher. Il donne l’exemple d’un portefeuille qui était pondéré à 60 % en actions et à 40 % en obligations au début de l’année. « Les actions ont connu une très belle performance depuis le début de l'année et aujourd'hui, vous pouvez vous retrouver avec un portefeuille qui contient 67 % d’actions. La bonne nouvelle, oui, vous avez fait de l'argent, mais votre portefeuille est devenu plus risqué», explique-t-il. Il soutient donc qu’il est important de procéder à des rééquilibrages, même si ce n’est pas agréable au premier coup d’œil, car ça peut signifier de vendre un peu de ce qui a très bien fait pour le réinvestir dans ce qui a moins bien fait. «Notre cerveau, lui, il nous dit exactement le contraire, mais c'est justement ça, la discipline en placement», insiste-t-il. Surveiller les obligations Il ajoute que les chiffres importants à surveiller cet automne sont ceux des taux obligataires pour les bons du Trésor américains. «Le taux des obligations américaines à échéance de 10 ans est à 4,80%. En 2021, il était à 1%. Pourquoi je regarde ça? Parce que les actions ont de nouveau de la concurrence. Pendant des années, avec des taux extrêmement bas, un investisseur qui voulait faire du rendement, c'était facile. Il allait le chercher dans les marchés boursiers. Aujourd'hui, ce n'est plus vrai», dit-il. Il explique que les investisseurs ne réalisent pas encore complètement à quel point la situation a changé, à condition de bien gérer le risque de durée. «Il ne faut pas oublier que les obligations ont un prix. Plus l'échéance est loin, plus le prix peut varier. Je prends souvent l'analogie de la queue d'un chien avec mes clients. Plus on est près du corps, moins il y a de la volatilité. Plus on s’en éloigne, plus ça va bouger. C'est la même chose avec les taux d'intérêt», explique-t-il. Les marchés américains sont-ils surévalués? Et en ce moment, on peut aussi avoir l'impression que les marchés boursiers américains se négocient à des ratios élevés, ce qui ne signifie pas, d’après Luc Girard, qu’ils sont surévalués. «Ce qui m'intéresse, c'est de savoir ce qui va arriver aux bénéfices des sociétés. Jusqu'à présent, la croissance des bénéfices est au rendez-vous. Il ne faut pas oublier qu'en achetant une action aujourd'hui, on n'achète pas juste les bénéfices passés et ceux des 12 prochains mois. On achète aussi une partie des bénéfices que l'entreprise va générer dans 5 ans, dans 10 ans et même plus. C'est là que je fais une distinction très importante. Le marché dispendieux n'est pas nécessairement un marché surévalué», dit-il. Selon lui, les investisseurs doivent amorcer la dernière ligne droite de l’année en se posant trois questions : «Premièrement, est-ce que j'ai le bon niveau de risque ? Deuxièmement, est-ce que je suis suffisamment diversifié ? Et la dernière, qui est probablement ma préférée, c'est est-ce que mon portefeuille est encore bien positionné pour atteindre mes objectifs à long terme». Si la réponse est oui aux trois, le gestionnaire estime que l’investisseur sera très bien préparé pour l'automne.Pour de l'information concernant l'utilisation de vos données personnelles - https://omnystudio.com/policies/listener/fr

Synopsis Épisode spécial : Patrick et Steve reçoivent Jean-Luc Trussart et Jean-François Poulin, deux des artisans de Sociable, la coopérative de solidarité qui construit une plateforme communautaire pour le Québec. Jean-Luc enseigne l'UX, l'UI et les médias interactifs au collégial, dirige la firme de formation en ligne Vecteurs et Leviers et a co-signé un livre sur l'usage intelligent de l'IA pour apprendre. Jean-François, lui, cumule trente ans de numérique et près de vingt ans d'UX, entre l'Apéro UX et sa chronique dans Mon Carnet. Les deux sont bénévoles sur le projet — comme tout le monde autour de la table. Sociable, c'est un projet né dans la foulée du Panier bleu, mais construit à l'envers des gros projets numériques québécois : coop sans but lucratif, open source, grassroots, sans levée de fonds et sans échéancier imposé. L'équipe explique la vision — un réseau où on peut valider que les comptes sont de vraies personnes, où l'utilisateur garde le contrôle de ses données, où les médias et les PME n'ont plus à se mettre à genoux devant Meta pour être vus. Et surtout, une plateforme pensée pour le territoire du Québec plutôt que pour la langue française seulement : anglais, espagnol, arabe, langues autochtones. La conversation dérive vite vers le fond du problème. Nos écoles sont sur Classroom, nos villes et nos gouvernements sur Teams : si Microsoft plante demain matin, les trois paliers arrêtent de fonctionner. Steve rappelle qu'on parle beaucoup de souveraineté des données sans jamais nommer qui opère l'infrastructure derrière. Patrick raconte l'échec de trouver un processeur de paiement canadien pour une plateforme de sécurité, et lance l'idée qu'il faut recréer un Visa canadien. L'équipe revient aussi sur le lobby Microsoft à la Ville de Montréal, sur les appels d'offres au plus bas soumissionnaire, et sur le vrai débat autour de l'âge minimum sur les réseaux sociaux — frapper Facebook plutôt que les jeunes. Gros bloc sur l'IA et le développement : le flot design → code qui a permis de coder en une semaine ce qui traînait depuis six mois, la fin de Figma pour le prototypage, le passage de programmeur à architecte, le hackathon Soignons la tech où des médecins ont bâti leurs propres interfaces, la gestion des permissions des agents, et une astuce concrète — demander à l'IA le script Python qu'elle génère en arrière-plan et le rendre déterministe, plutôt que de brûler des dizaines de milliers de dollars en jetons d'API. Puis les questions de fond de Sociable : définir un algorithme qui n'en est pas un, concevoir l'hygiène numérique sans surveiller les gens, chiffrer le clavardage de bout en bout tout en gardant un fil public. On termine avec les nouvelles : les infrastructures essentielles frappées par les groupes Cyber Av3ngers et Handala, et Desjardins qui s'en va héberger des données financières chez un fournisseur américain — alors que des nuages canadiens existent et que personne ne les connaît.

Amazing Race Canada: Season 12 Ep 4 Recap Also available on YouTube. Jessica Liese and Dan Heaton break down The Amazing Race Canada Season 12, Episode 4, as teams take on Montreal in a leg full of classic challenges and subtle shakeups. This week spotlights both the familiar rhythms and evolving strategies of the race, along with questions about the tasks' pacing and ambition. As the action shifts from plant shopping to beer-pouring, Jessica and Dan explore what works, what drags, and how teams adapt, sometimes with unexpected calm. Teams start at a bustling garden center, where finding and buying specific plants triggers both smart collaboration and careful solo play. Jessica notes the impact of the Desjardins assist, and both hosts observe how Eamon and Bec's strategic partnership with Sacha and Sébastien gives them a crucial edge early in the leg. The rare return of the intersection forces new team pairings, resulting in a dance challenge that tests both skill and patience. Surria's standout fitness background and Bec's dance team experience come into play with surprisingly positive teamwork, fueling a surprise finish for a previously middle-of-the-pack duo. Meanwhile, the detour splits teams between a tricky white-on-white puzzle and a more active, social photo challenge, leading to strategic switches and close calls as limited stations force tough choices. Jessica and Dan discuss: Sacha and Sébastien's confidence as they coolly drop to sixth but hold steady, trusting their position and Express Pass How intersection pairings shape outcomes, especially for teams with hidden dance skills or unexpected struggles The debate around task quality and the balance between excitement and quantity, with both hosts reflecting on Canada's emphasis on mix-ups over big spectacle Memorable sponsorship moments, including the beer-pouring task at the Peel Pub and calls for a true beer face-off in future seasons The group's reaction to a rare airport confrontation and how team dynamics play out publicly and behind the scenes With a U-turn vote looming and strategies starting to diverge, which teams will seize the moment and who will get caught in the chaos of alliances and Express Pass gambits?

On the eve of Canada Day, we celebrate a career devoted to Canadians. After more than 35 years shaping the financial services industry, Yves L. Giroux sits down for his final interview before retirement. In this special episode marking five years of Discovery Series, hosts David Lee and Rehan Bhanji honour the leader who helped modernize the Desjardins Individual Life and Health Insurance division and built a national network rooted in one purpose: improving the quality of life for Canadians.Yves traces the full arc of his journey, from a young goalie in Cap Rouge to a summer spent planting 55,000 trees, where he learned that success is built on process, not luck. He shares the moment that shaped his mission: watching his father, an MIT-trained professor, take advice from a trusted insurance agent and seeing firsthand how advice changes lives.Along the way, Yves opens up about raising four kids while building a career across Canada and Europe, the leadership lessons that defined his teams (leadership belongs to everyone, and curiosity is your compass), and the proudest moment of his Desjardins career: stepping out of the way so young talent could build something better than he could alone.The conversation also takes on the question facing the entire industry. With nearly 40% of advisors aged 55 and over, is this a demand problem or an access to advice problem? Yves makes the case for scaling advice without losing its humanity, and for protecting more Canadian families along the way.And then there's the twist. After losing his father just 18 months into his retirement, Yves reframed what time and legacy really mean. His next chapter? Becoming a park ranger, returning to the forest where his story began.This is a tribute to a once-in-a-lifetime leader, and a reminder that this business was never about products. It's about people and the lives we improve along the way.Listen now on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

After a decade behind the bench in Calgary, he headed overseas to coach in Japan before returning to Alberta in 2002 to lead the Medicine Hat Tigers, quickly establishing the club as one of the WHL's premier programs. Desjardins later joined the Dallas Stars organization as an assistant coach and went on to guide their AHL affiliate, the Texas Stars, to a Calder Cup championship. From 2014 to 2017, he served as Head Coach of the Vancouver Canucks and also spent the 2018-19 season behind the bench of the Los Angeles Kings. Internationally, Desjardins has represented Canada at nearly every major tournament, building a resume that spans the highest levels of junior, professional, and international hockey. Listen as he shares why instilling confidence is at the heart of a coach's role, how winning cultures are built, and what goes into developing offensive defencemen.

Every morning brings a fresh headline about trade, tariffs, and where the economy is heading. For the business owners and families your clients protect, that noise turns into real questions: does this change the plan we built?In Episode 125, hosts Rehan Bhanji and David Lee sit down with Desjardins' Chief Economist Jimmy Jean, CFA, and Deputy Chief Economist Randall Bartlett, CFA, to cut through the panic around the 2026 CUSMA joint review. They unpack what the July 1st review date actually means (here's the short version: it's a checkpoint, not a cliff), the three paths the agreement could take from here, and why unpredictability itself has become the new baseline.Along the way: why having roughly three quarters of Canadian exports heading south is both a strength and a vulnerability, how squeezed household budgets are quietly reshaping the protection decisions families make, and where Canada's real economic leverage actually sits. Plus a round of Trade Trivia that proves your hockey stick has a passport.Whether you're guiding a business owner through cash flow uncertainty or helping a family rethink their coverage, this conversation gives you the language and the anchor points to lead with clarity.Access the full Desjardins CUSMA report here to keep these insights handy for your next discovery meeting.

For decades, buying a home was seen as the cornerstone of financial security in Canada. But with Toronto and Vancouver homes priced at 10 to 12 times the average family income, more Canadians are renting well into their 30s and 40s not by choice, but by necessity. Senior Desjardins economist Kari Norman discusses her recent study on the rise of the permanent renter, exploring the data behind affordability, the trade-offs between renting and owning, the lack of family-sized rental housing in major cities, and what a 27-year-old saving today should really be thinking about.

S1E302: Pourquoi le S&P/TSX est au sommet malgré la récession technique

Gestionnaires en action Podcast

Play Episode Listen Later Jun 5, 2026 6:52


GESTIONNAIRES EN ACTION. Le 29 mai dernier, Statistique Canada révélait que le PIB canadien avait reculé pour un deuxième trimestre consécutif, ce qui correspond à la définition d'une récession technique. Luc Girard, gestionnaire de portefeuille à Noël, Girard Lehoux, Valeurs mobilières Desjardins, met toutefois les données en perspective. «Oui, le produit intérieur brut réel a reculé de 1 % au quatrième trimestre de 2025 et de 0,1 % au premier trimestre de 2026. Toutefois, lorsqu'on regarde les détails, l'histoire est beaucoup plus nuancée», dit-il. Il est prématuré de conclure à une véritable récession, puisque la faiblesse n’est pas généralisée à l’ensemble de l’économie. «Or, plus de la moitié des industries canadiennes sont encore en expansion. On a des consommateurs qui continuent de dépenser. On a des entreprises qui continuent d'investir. Donc, à mes yeux, nous ne sommes pas dans une économie en panne, mais plutôt dans une économie qui tourne au ralenti», explique-t-il. Qu’est-ce qui explique la récession technique? Luc Girard soutient que le consommateur canadien ne peut pas être pointé du doigt, mais que la faiblesse de l’économie est liée au commerce extérieur. «Les importations qui ont bondi de 12% au premier trimestre, alors que les exportations ont légèrement diminué, de 0,5%. Cette situation est attribuable à quoi? À une forte hausse des achats d'or, ainsi qu'à un ralentissement de certaines exportations vers les États-Unis, particulièrement dans le secteur automobile. Lorsque vous avez des importations qui augmentent plus rapidement que les exportations, ça soustrait mécaniquement de la croissance économique», raconte-t-il. Le gestionnaire de portefeuille souligne que, malgré tout, certains indicateurs restent solides, notamment la consommation des ménages qui a progressé de 1,5%, les investissements en machinerie et en matériel qui ont bondi de plus de 10% et les investissements en propriété intellectuelle qui ont progressé de 14%. «On a même le PIB par industrie qui a augmenté de 0,5 %. On est donc loin d'un scénario où tous les moteurs économiques s'arrêtent en même temps», affirme-t-il. Le S&P/TSX au sommet malgré tout Malgré le ralentissement économique, l’indice phare de la Bourse de Toronto, le S&P/TSX, a terminé la séance du 4 juin à un sommet historique de plus de 35 200 points et est en hausse de plus de 10% depuis le début de l’année. Une situation qui peut s’expliquer facilement, selon Luc Girard. «C'est probablement la question la plus importante pour les investisseurs parce que la Bourse et l'économie ne racontent pas toujours la même histoire. L'économie nous décrit ce qui s'est passé récemment. La Bourse, elle, essaie d’anticiper ce qui va se produire dans 6, 12 et même 18 mois. Surtout, le S&P/TSX n'est pas l'économie canadienne», dit-il. Il souligne que l’indice est concentré à 70% dans trois secteurs, soit 35% dans les financières, 17% dans l’énergie et 18% dans les ressources naturelles. «Ça explique pourquoi la Bourse peut performer même si l'économie ralentit», précise-t-il, ajoutant que les trois secteurs profitent de vents favorables. À son avis, même si certains ménages ressentent davantage de pression, les grandes entreprises canadiennes continuent de très bien performer. C'est pourquoi il est selon lui toujours très dangereux de confondre la santé de l'économie avec celle de la Bourse. Encore un bon moment pour investir? Luc Girard comprend aussi les investisseurs qui hésitent à miser sur la Bourse alors que les indices sont à des sommets historiques. Il s’empresse cependant de préciser que les indices ont tendance à passer une bonne partie de leur existence proche de leur sommet historique. «Attendre la prochaine correction, ça semble effectivement logique, mais, dans les faits, cette stratégie fonctionne rarement. La vraie question à se poser, c'est plutôt de savoir si les sociétés qu'on a choisies dans nos portefeuilles vont être encore plus profitables dans 5, 10 ou 15 ans», dit-il. En ce moment, il soutient que la discipline et la patience sont les deux plus grands alliés des investisseurs à long terme.Pour de l'information concernant l'utilisation de vos données personnelles - https://omnystudio.com/policies/listener/fr

No one likes checking their credit score and seeing a hit to the rating - even the Canadian government.Credit rating agencies are bracing for the upcoming November 4th federal budget, and with a lack of fiscal updates since the last federal budget under the Trudeau government, economists aren't quite sure what they should expect when it comes to the deficit.So just how deep could the red ink run? And will the minority federal government receive the backing from any of the opposition parties to get it passed through the House?Host Mike Eppel speaks to Randall Bartlett, Deputy Chief Economist at Desjardins to discuss what former-banker-turned-Prime Minister, Mark Carney, has up his sleeve for the upcoming budget, and what he plans to do about a potentially ominously large deficit.

On Prophecy Radio episode #143, Karen and Kristen catch up on some news odds and ends, including some new Percy Jackson and the Olympians character posters. They also discuss The Red Pyramid chapters 39 and 40, including their favorite moments and a few very significant twists and turns. New episodes of Prophecy Radio air every other week. All discussions are PG-13. News and Updates (00:24:11) Character posters, ya'll! A trio poster that might be a repeat, but just in case you haven't seen it yet. Rick took a photo with our new Zoe Nightshade and her significantly annotated book. These kids are getting to do all kinds of stunts. Steph Lurie dressed up to put Mark and Rick on trial at the Texas Book Festival Happy Birthday, Virginia Kull! The Red Pyramid discussion (00:30:50) Mini recap, in case you need a refresher. Let's talk about chapter 39. We take a minute to coo over Rick's narrative style in this book. Zia confounds us with some pertinent but infuriating advice. Set's secret name is underwhelming, but we discuss how that might have been inevitable. Isis warns Sadie Sadie's visions could have each been their own chapter. For sure. Who will sit on these 3 thrones? A touching father/daughter moment to ease the pain. The tale of the four Kanes. Her mother saw what was coming, her father did what he had to do, and now Sadie and Carter must see it all through. Isis and Sadie merge and we get our rainbow-warrior-goddess moment. Favorite lines and Favorite moments Time for the penultimate chapter discussion! Sadie's dual vision might be one of the cooler story-telling devices I've read in a long time. Time for a trip to the capital! The real enemy is finally brought into the light. Sadie and Carter have a moment. Two twists in a row really show how much has been going on that we couldn't see earlier in the story. Set was being used just like he was puppeteering Amos. The enemy of my enemy might just come in useful later on, so we might have to spare them. This Zia twist is one we definitely didn't see coming. Desjardins is pissed and astonished at the Kane's willpower. Favorite lines and Favorite moments Feedback (01:32:10) Longtime listener David Ludwig shares some of the Court of the Dead book tour fun from Denver! Here's that cocoa puff video in case you are interested!

They also discuss The Red Pyramid chapters 37 and 38, including their favorite moments and what they think will happen next. New episodes of Prophecy Radio air every other week. All discussions are PG-13. News and Updates (00:10:37) The Court of the Dead by Rick Riordan and Mark Oshiro is officially out in the world! Did you get any of the special editions? (We definitely did.) Did you see the pictures and videos of Rick signing books and Funkos? Leah turned 16 last month! Do these Percy Jackson and the Olympians behind-the-scenes clips mean we'll be getting another BTS documentary?? We go through a slightly older Entertainment Weekly article to discuss the next Senior Year Adventures book. When can we expect the third and final Senior Year book to come out? Rick is strictly a middle grade author, and we're cool with that. What other gods would make for good series fodder a la Trials of Apollo? Other character-centric books are still on the table, and boy do we want them! The Red Pyramid discussion (00:29:14) All right, let's refresh our brains on what happened last time. Good. Now we can jump into The Red Pyramid chapter 37. Why does Set keep flickering between forms? We've really come around on Amos since we learned the truth. Set is SO sassy, and we're kind of here for it. Horus still wants to take over Carter's body, and Carter is still telling him no. Uh, where the heck is Nephthys? Sadie protecc. Thank goodness Carter figures out what Zia meant when she told him not to resist. Carter turns into a total badass! Favorite lines and favorite scenes. All right, time to jump into The Red Pyramid chapter 38. Carter having fun fighting and beating up on Set is slightly concerning. Why do they BOTH bleed black? They're about to bring down the house, so Carter tricks Set into becoming a fruit bat and then drags him outside the pyramid. Will Sadie be able to free their dad from the throne and his sarcophagus? We kind of already knew how to defeat Set, but he really lays it out for Carter. Did we feel bad about what happened to Desjardins? We totally did not expect Set to put the capstone on top of the pyramid. Sadie is a freaking rainbow, y'all! What name could Sadie have shouted? We wanted to read the next chapter SO BAD! But we discuss our favorite lines and favorite moments instead. Feedback (01:09:31) Ensign_Davies and Maria write in to tell us what they think of The Court of the Dead. Caoimhe is super excited about Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, and she let's us know one of our previous episodes was missing links. That's all fixed now!

Carbon nanotube qubits with Pierre Desjardins

Pierre Desjardins is the cofounder of C12, a Paris-based quantum computing hardware startup that specializes in carbon nanotube-based spin qubits. Notably, Pierre founded the company alongside his twin brother, Mathieu, making them the only twin-led deep-tech startups that we know of! Pierre's journey is unconventional—he is a rare founder in quantum hardware without a PhD, drawing instead on engineering and entrepreneurial experience. The episode dives into what drew him to quantum computing and the pivotal role COVID-19 played in catalyzing his career shift from consulting to quantum technology.C12's Technology and Unique AngleC12 focuses on developing high-performance qubits using single-wall carbon nanotubes. Unlike companies centered on silicon or germanium spin qubits, C12 fabricates carbon nanotubes, tests them for impurities, and then assembles them on silicon chips as a final step. The team exclusively uses isotopically pure carbon-12 to minimize magnetic and nuclear spin noise, yielding a uniquely clean environment for electron confinement. This yields ultra-low charge noise and enables the company to build highly coherent qubits with remarkable material purity.Key Technical InnovationsSpin-Photon Coupling: C12's system stands out for driving spin qubits using microwave photons, drawing inspiration from superconducting qubit architectures. This enables the implementation of a “quantum bus”—a superconducting interconnect that allows long-range coupling between distant qubits, sidestepping the scaling bottleneck of nearest-neighbor architectures.Addressable Qubits: Each carbon nanotube qubit can be tuned on or off the quantum bus by manipulating the double quantum dot confinement, providing flexible connectivity and the ability to maximize coherence in a memory mode.Stability and Purity: Pierre emphasizes that C12's suspended architecture dramatically reduces charge noise and results in exceptional stability, with minimal calibration drift, over years-long measurement campaigns—a stark contrast with many superconducting platforms.Recent MilestonesC12 celebrated its fifth anniversary and recently demonstrated the first qubit operation on their platform. The company achieved ultra-long coherence times for spin qubits coupled via a quantum bus, publishing these results in *Nature*. The next milestone is demonstrating two-qubit gates mediated by microwave photons—a development that could set a new benchmark for both C12 and the wider quantum computing industry.Challenges and OutlookC12's current focus is scaling up from single-qubit demonstrations to multi-qubit gates with long-range connectivity, a crucial step toward error correction and practical algorithms. Pierre notes the rapid evolution of error-correcting codes, remarking that some codes they are now working on did not exist two years ago. The interview closes with an eye on the race to demonstrate long-distance quantum gates, with Pierre hoping C12 will make industry headlines before larger competitors like IBM.Notable Quotes“The more you dig into this technology, the more you understand why this is just the way to build a quantum computer.”“We have the lowest charge noise compared to any kind of spin qubit—this is because of our suspended architecture.”“What we introduced is the concept of a quantum bus… really the only way to scale spin qubits.”Episode ThemesEntrepreneurship in deep tech without a traditional research backgroundTechnical deep dive on carbon nanotube spin qubits and quantum bus architectureMaterials science as the foundation of scalable quantum hardwareThe importance of coherence, noise reduction, and tunable architectures in quantum system designThe dynamic evolution of error correction and industry competitionListeners interested in cutting-edge hardware, quantum startup journeys, or the science behind scalable qubit platforms will find this episode essential. Pierre provides unique clarity on why C12's approach offers both conceptual and practical advantages for the future of quantum computing,

Chris D in conversation with David Eastaugh  Chris D. (born Chris Desjardins) is an American punk poet, singer, writer, rock critic, producer, and filmmaker. He is best known as the lead singer and founder of the early and long-running Los Angeles punk/death rock band the Flesh Eaters. The Flesh Eaters were a staple of the L.A. punk scene in the 1980s.[7] The band played alongside seminal bands like The Misfits and The Meat Puppets.[3] A number of original Flesh Eaters releases, like River of Fever, were recorded through Shakeytown Music/BMI.[4] Others were produced by Upsetter, Invasion/Bomp, Zippo/Demon or SST. From 1989 to 1993 and from 1997 to 2000, Desjardins performed live with varying line-ups of The Flesh Eaters. During the first of these periods, three more albums came out on SST Records: Dragstrip Riot (1991), Sex Diary of Mr. Vampire (1992), and Crucified Lovers in Woman Hell (EP - 1993).Two additional albums, Ashes of Time (1999) and Miss Muerte (2004), were released.

Episode 253: Desjardins thought its cooperative roots made it member-first by default. Then members started leaving. Desjardins is a 125-year-old financial co-op based in Quebec. It has deep community ties and a proud history. But that pride masked a painful truth: Members no longer saw it as customer-centric. The organization believed its cooperative structure guaranteed loyalty—until low NPS scores and rising member churn showed otherwise. Mathieu Staniulis and Séverine Clairet recount how Desjardins confronted its own mythology, restructured governance, and began treating feedback as a system, not a score. Desjardins' wake-up call came in the early 2010s. Despite its co-op status, members said the experience felt disjointed. Branches operated as near-independent entities. “It was really difficult to see the full scope of our company because we were presenting ourselves as different companies,” says Mathieu. CEO Guy Cormier led a bold move: unifying the 17 siloed organizations within Desjardins under a single governance structure. But structure alone wasn't enough. Internally, CX, risk, and profit still pulled in different directions. As Mathieu puts it,  “People in charge of customer experience only talk about customer experience and NPS. People in P&L ownership talk about their performance—their bottom line. How can they improve their performance, especially on the financial metrics? And then you have the risk people trying to manage risk and deal with regulators always bringing new regulations, especially in the financial industry. And I believe we have to find a way to work together to balance customer experience, efficiency or financial metrics, and risk management.” The challenge became about integrating those forces to make balanced, member-first decisions—without sacrificing performance. Now Desjardins faces a new frontier: recreating intimacy in a digital world. Transactions moved online. But financial advice—the core of trust and loyalty—remains unsolved. The question, Mathieu says, is urgent and unanswered: “How do we bring advice into a digital world?” Guests: Mathieu Staniulis, Vice President, Products, Solutions & Digital, and Chief Transformation Officer | Séverine Clairet, Vice President Customer Experience & Marketing Strategy, Desjardins Host: Rob Markey, Partner, Bain & Company Give us feedback: Customer Confidential Podcast Feedback Send us a note: Contact Rob Time-Stamped Topics 00:01 – A logout button reveals blind spots in member experience 00:04 – Desjardins' founding story: community aid in a kitchen 00:06 – “Member-owned” in theory vs. practice across 17 silos 00:08 – How Guy Cormier unified Desjardins under one governance model 00:09 – Why NPS lagged despite a strong co-op identity 00:12 – “The S means system”: transforming how feedback drives action 00:15 – Balancing CX, P&L, and risk without silos 00:18 – The call center debate: cost now vs. loyalty later 00:20 – Journey teams as a model for cross-functional accountability 00:21 – Digital did the easy part, so what comes next? 00:22 – Can “digital” be intimate?

We were also losing membership, so we had to pivot and change all of that, changing the way we look internally at our performance, raising NPS as the top KPI for our company.” [16:00] “That's the equation of NPS. Buying more, referring more, and staying longer mean more profitability. For P&L, it means better risk management, because there's a tendency to lower your risk when you have loyal customers with you. So you have to bring that all together.” [17:00]  “We were very proud of Desjardins, especially in the Quebec market. In some lines of products, we have almost 40% market share.
