Podcasts about Engineering

Grady Hillhouse started making woodworking videos as a hobby while working as a civil engineer. That experiment eventually became Practical Engineering. This week on YouTube Creators Hub, Grady joins Dusty Porter to share the decisions and systems behind his educational channel. He explains how his team pitches ideas, looks for compelling visuals, and mocks up titles and thumbnails before a video moves into production. We explore the full workflow, from scripting and fact-checking to demonstrations, filming, editing, and motion graphics. Grady also talks about setting deadlines, keeping roughly five videos in progress, and treating YouTube like a day job so he can make time for his family. The conversation includes the transition to full-time creation, improving on camera, learning from videos that underperform, and the business role of ads, books, and long-term sponsorships. Grady closes with advice that applies at any stage: enjoy the work itself and leave room to experiment. What We Offer Creators Join Creator Communities.

The Geeks return with a brand-new Grumpy Old Geeks Wiki containing 21,577 static HTML pages, because apparently the appropriate response to having a massive podcast archive is to build an even more massive searchable monument to it. From there, things get considerably less wholesome as they dig into TikTok's settlement with Alabama, AI companies promising safeguards while simultaneously unleashing increasingly autonomous agents, and an OpenAI agent that apparently decided that “I can't access this” meant “perhaps I should hack it.” Government websites, a university digital library, and other targets apparently became irresistible once the normal route to the information stopped working. The Geeks contemplate the exciting future of digital interns who don't understand that the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act is, in fact, not a suggestion.The AI-agent discussion rolls into Meta's Muse, OpenAI's new agent tools, security boundaries, and the increasingly familiar problem of giving software enough permissions to accomplish a task and then discovering it has developed its own interpretation of “accomplish.” The episode also tackles Utah's attempt to apply age verification requirements to VPN users, New York's legal fight with prediction markets, Meta expanding Instagram into schools, and the continuing saga of AI-generated music and copyright. Then there's Automatic's corporate drama involving Matt Mullenweg, vibe coding, and the increasingly compelling argument that if you can build a website in a few hours, maybe spending years arguing about WordPress is no longer the best use of anyone's time.Finally, the Geeks move on to the technological disasters that really matter: Plex changing the Apple TV skip controls unless you pay for premium, a Samsung software update that managed to turn some AI refrigerators into very expensive food-warming cabinets, and Toy Story 5 proving once again that Hollywood has never met a perfectly good ending it couldn't monetize. There's also a trio of soccer documentaries, including Italia 90, Angel City, and Game and Glory; a discussion of the Strange New Worlds finale “Tomorrow's Enterprise”; and Meta's new lightweight VR glasses. Because nothing says “we have learned absolutely nothing” quite like putting more software between you and your refrigerator.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

I read an awful lot so you don't have to, so to save you some time, according to a book titled “Is Eating People Wrong”, it is. Well, on today's story, I'm happy to say you won't have to worry about cannibalism. There will be a body. And there will be some things that will happen to that body – the kind of stuff you wouldn't wish on your grandmother, but no nibbling. Let me just say, this will be a very different kind of episode.On this episode: Welcome to our very first legal disastersode! We'll see just how many people would have wanted to casually splork your freshly severed skull onto a pike during the medieval era; you will find out why Pope-Elects had the longevity of Spinal Tap drummers and what a complete bloodsport the early Papacy turned out to be; and if you thought putting a costume on a dog or cat was hard, you will find out how awkward and unwieldy it is to try and dress a half-desiccated corpse.And if you were listening to this on Patreon: You would learn about the long list of Popes that retired without putting out an autobiography, if you follow my meaning; you would hear about animals and insects that were convicted of everything from vandalism to manslaughter and publicly executed; and you would learn all the different kinds of legal alternatives paths medieval-you could opt for if you didn't want to shell out for a lawyer.I don't expect this episode to ruffle any feathers, but for those of your who adore the Pope, we are spending our time today looking at Popes that died, were murdered, murdered other Popes, got poisoned, got marooned, and otherwise met with an inglorious end. And two things. First, Pope on Pope violence was a real problem, and second, we're always in the habit of ringing the church bell for victims of our story, as a way to honour or commemorate them. I didn't count, but we ring the bell more times in this single episode than we probably do in a year under more fortuitous circumstances. I make the point, that coal miners had a safer job than early Popes.It is with the most luke-warm sadness that I tell you I'm no longer on Facebook or Instagram.

In this episode of Better Buildings for Humans, host Joe Menchefski sits down with Dr. George Guszcza, President and CEO of the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS), for a thought-provoking conversation about innovation, resilience, technology, and the systems shaping the future of our built environment. Drawing on a career spanning military healthcare facilities, federal service, engineering, consulting, and organizational transformation, George brings a uniquely broad perspective to why better buildings and infrastructure matter—not just for performance, but for the people and communities that depend on them.The conversation explores NIBS' role in bringing together the many groups responsible for how buildings are designed, regulated, constructed, and operated. Joe and George discuss why promising ideas can take so long to move from innovation into everyday practice, what happens when buildings and infrastructure are viewed in isolation, and why understanding the built environment as a connected "system of systems" could change how we approach resilience and risk.Joe and George also look toward the future, exploring digital twins, artificial intelligence, offsite construction, data, and the economic and cultural forces influencing how quickly the industry evolves. Along the way, they question whether our traditional focus on first cost is preventing us from recognizing the longer-term value of better-performing, more resilient buildings—and what needs to change for proven innovations to reach the mainstream.Ultimately, the episode challenges us to think beyond individual buildings and consider the larger systems, incentives, and people that determine whether innovation actually succeeds. And when Joe asks his signature question—what makes a great building?—George offers an answer that brings the entire conversation back to the reason we build in the first place.More About Dr. George GuszczaGeorge K.

Global gas markets, especially in Europe, are approaching winter under serious pressure. With storage inventories lagging behind historical averages and shipping disruptions from the Middle East threatening key liquefied natural gas flows, many nations find themselves deeply exposed.  The supply shocks from both the Russia-Ukraine war and now the Strait of Hormuz closure have revealed vulnerabilities in a market that is more interconnected than ever, but also more geopolitically complex.  With less global LNG supply and growing sensitivity to weather, the case for new security frameworks is getting stronger, built on closer international cooperation, new reserve mechanisms and greater market flexibility. Where does the global gas market stand right now? How much LNG is actually moving through the Strait of Hormuz? What are European countries doing to prepare for the winter? Is Russian gas coming back on the table? Will renewed concerns about energy security spur a faster transition away from gas and toward clean energy? And how do China and the rest of Asia factor into this high-stakes calculus for global supplies?  On today's show—Anne-Sophie Corbeau, Ira Joseph, and Tatiana Mitrova. All three are research scholars at the Center on Global Energy Policy and have deep expertise in geopolitics and energy markets. They joined host Jason Bordoff to discuss the global gas market, what's behind the looming European supply crisis this coming winter, and how the markets—and European leaders—are responding. They played out some scenarios regarding supply and demand going forward and the role that Asian markets, global geopolitics, coal, renewables, and electrification could play.

LIVE from ILADS: Tick Boot Camp reconnects with Nicole Bell, CEO of Galaxy Diagnostics, for a focused conversation about one of the biggest challenges in Lyme disease and tick-borne illness: getting an accurate diagnosis. Bell breaks down the differences between antibody testing, antigen testing, and PCR-based direct detection while explaining why stealth pathogens such as Borrelia, Bartonella, and Babesia can be so difficult to find. She also introduces Galaxy's BBB Direct Detect digital PCR testing, discusses emerging findings involving Babesia species, and explains why a negative antibody test doesn't always tell the entire story. For Bell, the mission is deeply personal. Her husband, Russ, initially tested negative for Lyme disease and was later diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease before his family ultimately discovered tick-borne infections were part of his complex illness. That experience helped redirect Bell's engineering and medical technology background toward improving diagnostics for other patients searching for answers. This interview was recorded live at the ILADS conference, so you may hear some of the energy and background activity of the event throughout the conversation. Why Can Lyme Disease Testing Be So Difficult? Bell begins by explaining one of the fundamental problems with diagnosing Lyme disease and other tick-borne infections: many of the pathogens clinicians are searching for can be difficult to detect. Some occur at low levels in the bloodstream. Others may migrate into tissues or circulate intermittently. Historically, much of tick-borne disease testing has therefore relied on indirect detection — looking for the patient's immune response rather than directly detecting the organism. Antibody testing can provide useful information, but Bell explains why interpretation can become complicated. A patient's antibody response can vary depending on factors including: Timing of infection Individual immune response Immune suppression or dysregulation Previous exposure Previous treatment Medications that suppress immune activity Cross-reactivity Whether an infection is current or historical This is why Bell views antibody testing as one tool rather than the entire diagnostic toolbox. Antibody Testing: Detecting the Immune Response Antibody testing is an indirect testing method. Instead of looking for Borrelia itself, for example, the test looks for evidence that the patient's immune system has responded to it. Bell discusses IgM and IgG antibodies and why timing matters. IgM antibodies are generally associated with an earlier immune response, while IgG responses can take longer to develop. In Lyme disease, that delay creates a particular challenge because early diagnosis and treatment can be especially important. Some infected patients may mount a strong measurable antibody response, while others may produce a weaker or delayed response. Bell points to research showing how dramatically immune responses can differ even under controlled experimental conditions. This creates an important distinction: A test of the immune response is not necessarily the same thing as a test for the pathogen itself. When Antibodies Don't Tell the Whole Story Bell uses her husband's experience to illustrate the stakes. Russ had likely been ill for years before his most significant symptoms emerged. By then, Bell says his immune system was dysregulated and his overall antibody levels were low. His Lyme testing was negative, and his worsening cognitive symptoms ultimately led to an Alzheimer's diagnosis. There is also another side to antibody testing. A person may have antibodies because of a previous infection even when the original infection is no longer active. That can make it difficult to determine whether persistent symptoms are associated with an ongoing infection, an undiagnosed coinfection, immune dysregulation, or another process. Bell's point is not that antibody testing has no value. It is that complex tick-borne illness may require more than one diagnostic tool. Antigen Testing: Looking for Evidence of the Pathogen The conversation then moves from indirect testing to direct detection. One method is antigen testing. Rather than measuring the immune system's response, an antigen test searches for a component associated with the pathogen itself. Bell discusses Galaxy's work with a urine-based Lyme disease antigen approach designed to capture and concentrate a protein shed by Borrelia. Why urine? Bell explains that Lyme-causing Borrelia may not remain abundantly present in the bloodstream. A pathogen-derived protein, however, may be filtered through the kidneys and become detectable in urine. Galaxy continues to work on direct-detection approaches to Lyme disease testing as it pursues broader clinical adoption and regulatory pathways. PCR Testing: Searching for Pathogen DNA Another form of direct detection is PCR testing. PCR looks for genetic material from the pathogen rather than relying on the patient's antibody response. Galaxy uses PCR-based approaches for pathogens including: Borrelia Bartonella Babesia But direct detection presents its own challenge. These organisms may occur at extremely low levels in a sample. A patient can be infected while very little pathogen DNA happens to be circulating in the particular blood sample collected that day. That is where digital PCR, or dPCR, becomes especially interesting. The Three B's: Borrelia, Bartonella & Babesia Bell introduces Galaxy's approach to what Tick Boot Camp often calls the Three B's: Borrelia. Bartonella. Babesia. As patient and clinician awareness of tick-borne illness has evolved, these three pathogens have become increasingly important to the conversation around complex cases. Galaxy's BBB Direct Detect digital PCR testing is designed to directly detect DNA from Borrelia, Bartonella, and Babesia. Unlike an antibody test asking whether the immune system has responded to a pathogen, direct PCR testing asks a different question: Can we find genetic evidence of the organism itself? How Digital PCR Searches for Low-Abundance Pathogens Bell gives a simple analogy for understanding digital PCR. Imagine searching for a needle in a haystack. Traditional PCR is trying to identify a tiny amount of pathogen DNA — the needle — among an enormous amount of human genetic material — the haystack. Digital PCR effectively divides that haystack into thousands of much smaller piles and examines them individually. That partitioning can make it easier to detect extremely small amounts of genetic material. Galaxy also uses a culture-enrichment step for Bartonella. The blood sample is placed in an environment designed to encourage Bartonella growth before PCR analysis, increasing the amount of target material available for detection. Learn more about Galaxy Diagnostics' direct-detection technology and its approaches to Borrelia, Bartonella, and Babesia testing. Why Are We Seeing So Many Coinfections? Tick Boot Camp and Bell also discuss an observation that has become increasingly common in patient interviews: many people with complex chronic tick-borne illness aren't reporting only Lyme disease. Instead, patients frequently describe combinations involving the Three B's and other infections. Why? Bell says several factors may contribute. Diagnostic technology has improved. Clinicians have become more aware of coinfections. Ecological research indicates ticks can carry multiple pathogens. But Bell raises another important possibility: patients carrying multiple pathogens may also be among those who become the sickest and therefore are disproportionately represented within chronic illness communities. That distinction matters. Observing many coinfections among severely ill patients doesn't necessarily mean every tick-borne disease patient has the same microbial picture. Bartonella, the Immune System & the Tipping Point Bell discusses Bartonella as an example of the complexity surrounding infection and illness. Exposure may be more common than many people realize, and Bartonella has multiple potential vectors and reservoirs. Bell describes a hypothesis in which some people may harbor an infection while their immune system keeps it under control. Then another infection, environmental exposure, significant stressor, or other immune-disrupting event may alter that balance. A person who had previously remained relatively healthy may cross what Bell describes as a tipping point and begin experiencing significant illness. This raises questions researchers are still working to answer. Were multiple infections transmitted simultaneously? Did they occur through separate exposures? Was one infection already present before another destabilized the immune system? Bell emphasizes that the answer may differ from patient to patient. Emerging Questions About Babesia Some of the most intriguing discussion in this interview involves Babesia. Bell explains that research associated with the North Carolina State University team has identified Babesia species in complex patients beyond the organisms traditionally emphasized in U.S. human babesiosis. She specifically discusses findings involving Babesia odocoilei and Babesia divergens-like organisms and contrasts those findings with expectations surrounding Babesia microti and Babesia duncani. Bell also discusses the possibility of low-level parasitemia — infections involving pathogen levels that may be much lower than the classic severe presentation clinicians associate with babesiosis. These emerging observations raise important research questions about Babesia species, their prevalence, their role in human disease, and whether existing diagnostic assumptions capture the full picture. Bell is careful in the interview to distinguish between what Galaxy's current assay detects and what researchers may suspect based on sequencing and related scientific work. Nicole Bell's Personal Mission Bell's work in tick-borne disease diagnostics grew out of an experience no family wants to have. Her husband, Russ, developed neurological and psychiatric symptoms, including cognitive problems, anxiety and hallucinations. Despite Bell specifically requesting Lyme disease testing early in his illness, his initial test was negative and his diagnostic journey eventually led to an Alzheimer's disease diagnosis. Bell later documented her family's experience in her memoir, What Lurks in the Woods. Today, she brings her engineering background and personal experience together in an effort to improve the diagnostic tools available to clinicians and patients. From MIT & Duke to Galaxy Diagnostics Nicole Bell is CEO of Galaxy Diagnostics and an engineer with extensive experience in medical devices and diagnostics. She earned bachelor's and master's degrees in Materials Science and Engineering from MIT and a master's degree in Biomedical Engineering from Duke University. Before joining Galaxy, she worked in technology and medical-device development, including leadership roles involving diagnostic platforms and FDA submissions. Bell became CEO of Galaxy Diagnostics in 2024, bringing together her professional background in engineering and diagnostics with the lessons learned through her husband's illness. The State of Lyme Disease Research Bell is also the primary author of The State of Lyme Disease Research in the United States for the Center for Lyme Action. The paper examines gaps in Lyme disease research and outlines recommendations involving fundamental science, diagnostics, prevention, treatment, and research infrastructure. In this interview, Bell references one particularly important issue explored in that work: delays in Lyme disease diagnosis and treatment are associated with a greater risk of patients experiencing persistent symptoms. Better testing isn't simply about producing a more sophisticated laboratory report. It's about helping clinicians get patients appropriate answers earlier.

Where is God asking you to carry the lemonade?In this episode, Jeff and Jeff discuss: Learning to trust in the Lord in times of plenty and times of struggle. Maintaining your own stones of remembrance. Running your decisions through your personal filters.Advancing the Kingdom of God in all you do. Key Takeaways: Keep a journal of blessings and tender mercies the Lord has given to you. They will be the stones upon which you can turn in faith for the next hard season. As stewards of God's resources, we need to recognize that those resources are not purely for our own enjoyment, but also to build the Kingdom. Selling your business doesn't end your stewardship. While your resources may change, the calling stays the same: seek the King, love others, make disciples.Take a genuine interest in somebody you're walking by tomorrow. Engage with them, learn their name, ask for their story, show you care. "If I can get my employees to genuinely respect each other and care for one another, everything else takes care of itself. They'll care for the equipment, the bathroom, the break room, the customers, how the parts go in the box. And it starts with me." — Jeff Applegate Episode References: Living the Life You Were Meant to Live by Tom Paterson About Jeff Applegate: Jeff Applegate is the founder and CEO of Texas Injection Molding.

Perovskite Solar CellsConventional solar panels are usually heavy and expensive to install. Perovskites are a class of materials that have the potential to create lighter weight and cheaper solar cells that still convert the sun to electricity at a high efficiency. Perovskite solar cells could potentially make solar energy more affordable, accessible, and environmentally friendly.What Are Perovskite Solar Cells?Perovskites are a group of materials in which hydrogens and carbons bind to a metal, such as lead, and a halogen, such as chlorine, and form a three dimensional crystal lattice. Thousands of different chemical compositions are possible, which allows perovskite solar cells to absorb many different colors of the solar spectrum, depending on which composition is used. This ability makes it possible for the perovskite solar cells to be used in tandem with or on top of other kinds of solar cells, such as traditional silicon solar cells, because each type of cell absorbs different parts of the solar spectrum. Together with the silicon cells, the total power conversion efficiency, or the efficiency of converting solar energy into electricity, increases to over 33 percent. To make a perovskite solar cell, a thin layer of perovskite ink solution is deposited onto a base and then heated to set it into a film. The thin perovskite layer absorbs light, exciting a type of charged particle called electrons. These electrons are then extracted to generate electricity. Additional layers of material help direct the flow of electrons and laser scribed channels separate the film into individual cells. Separating the film into individual cells helps lower the current and raise the voltage, making a higher voltage solar device.The BenefitsWhen compared to traditional silicon solar panels, perovskites solar cells are cheaper and create fewer emissions. Silicon is rarely found in its pure form, which is the form it is needed in for conventional solar panels. Silicon is mostly found in beach sand as silicon dioxide. To get rid of the excess oxygen, the silicon dioxide is heated in a furnace to a very high temperature of about 1500 to 2000 degrees celsius. The energy required to run these furnaces not only increases the production cost of the silicon solar panels, but also creates additional greenhouse gas emissions. By comparison, perovskite solutions are made and set at lower temperatures, therefore resulting in fewer emissions and potentially costing less to produce. Conventional solar panels are rigid, flat, and heavy, so they are mostly installed on top of roofs or as solar farms. Perovskite solution can be deposited on bases of many different shapes, and it weighs very little. This gives perovskite solar cells more flexibility in the ways they can be used. Perovskite also appears to be more resilient to imperfections in its crystal lattice structure than other materials typically used in solar panels, which improves its performance. These features of the perovskite solar cells, as well as their high power conversion efficiency, that matches that of traditional solar panels at over 26 percent, gives perovskites solar cells the potential to improve accessibility of solar panels.The ChallengesAccording to the Integrated Energy Systems Office of the US Department of Energy, there are four primary challenges to the commercialization of perovskite technology: durability, power conversion efficiency at scale, manufacturing, and technology validation and bankability. The durability of perovskite cells is limited when compared to other solar cells. Perovskites can decompose when exposed to stressors like moisture, oxygen, light for extended periods of time, heat, and applied voltage. Early perovskite devices degraded within a matter of minutes or hours, but now they can last for several months. Still, devices that cannot operate for more than 20 years, or ideally 30, are not likely to be commercially successful.Perovskites have shown high power conversion efficiency as small devices, but maintaining these high efficiencies in larger devices still needs to be achieved. Methods used in labs for producing perovskite devices are not easily scalable, making uniform and high-performing perovskite material difficult to produce in a large-scale manufacturing facility. This can lead to significant differences between the efficiency of small devices and larger devices. The US Department of Energy has created several funding programs for perovskite cells, but getting investment from other financial institutions is still a challenge. The testing protocols for perovskite devices are not standardized and there is a lack of field data on their long-term operational behavior. To increase investment in their production, confidence in the technology needs to be increased through standardized testing protocols that can accurately demonstrate how perovskite technologies fare in real-world circumstances.Marina Leite's TakeMarina Leite believes that perovskite solar cells have great potential. Perovskite solar cells could reduce the cost of solar panels by at least 30 percent while being better for the environment to produce. Perovskite solar cells can also be placed on top of existing solar panels, increasing overall efficiency. Leite's lab is working on discovering the best perovskite materials to use in the solar cells by utilizing machine learning models that help predict the efficiency and durability of each material. The materials are tested under different conditions of light, temperature, oxygen, and humidity to see how they degrade, then machine learning models help extrapolate those results to other environmental conditions and predict the behavior of the material under such conditions days and weeks into the future.About Our GuestMarina Leite began her work with solar cells as a post-doctoral scholar at the California Institute of Technology between 2008 and 2011. Currently, Leite is an associate professor at the University of California, Davis, in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, conducting scientific research that helps our society mitigate climate change. Leite is also a UC Davis Chancellor's Fellow.ResourcesUS Department of Energy, Perovskite Solar CellsNational Laboratory of the Rockies, Photovoltaic ResearchJournal of Manufacturing Science and Engineering, Laser Scribing of Solar CellsUS Department of Energy, Perovskite Research ChallengesWorld Economic Forum, Solar power has big limitations, but Perovskites could change thatUC Davis Material Science and Engineering, Faculty Spotlight: Marine LeiteLeite Lab, Materials for Energy HarvestingFor a transcript of this episode, visit https://climatebreak.org/developing-perovskite-solar-cells-with-dr-marina-leite/

In this episode of Shift AI, Mario Rodriguez, Chief Product Officer of GitHub, joins host Boaz Ashkenazy for a wide-ranging conversation on what GitHub is becoming now that humans and AI agents build software side by side.Mario shares a number from inside GitHub's own Copilot data that cuts against the idea of a single dominant AI model, and explains why he thinks the real competition isn't happening at the model layer at all. He also lays out how GitHub is rethinking its surfaces, from Agent HQ to a tool called Spark, around a much bigger bet on where developer collaboration is headed next.This episode is for CTOs, VPs of engineering, platform and DevEx leads, and any software engineer trying to figure out where their own skills fit as more of the codebase gets written by agents.Chapters[00:00] Welcome and introducing Mario Rodriguez[00:29] From a Cuban restaurant busboy to electrical engineering to Perl[03:11] Landing at Microsoft, then GitHub after the 2018 acquisition[03:58] Redefining GitHub beyond repos: the agent-native engineering system[07:31] Staying true to developers and going model-agnostic[09:06] The Copilot usage data on model choice[10:27] Harnesses, and why the fixation on any one model is fading[13:49] Agent HQ, the GitHub Copilot app, and canvases explained[16:29] Chronicle and the continuous learning loop[18:10] Spark: lowering the floor and raising the ceiling for builders[21:35] What AI means for new versus experienced software engineers[29:09] The closing two words: fluid creativityConnect with Mario RodriguezLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariorodriguez3X: https://x.com/mariorod1Connect with Boaz AshkenazyLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/boazashkenazy/Email: info@shiftai.fm

Performance is getting harder to ignore, and Tomás argues that AI is making the problem urgent in ways most teams are not ready for. He explains why AI-generated code, exploding system surface area, and rising infrastructure costs are creating a perfect storm, and why Perfloop exists to turn performance engineering into a rigorous, automated science.Tomás, the creator of Perfloop, breaks down how the product maps your codebase and telemetry into a living model of your system, then hunts for performance anti-patterns with a verification harness that puts every hypothesis through measured, repeatable experiments. Instead of relying on a freestyle coding agent, Perfloop uses structured discovery, deterministic checks, and adversarial verification to produce results you can actually trust.Chapters:00:00 The performance problem behind Perfloop00:39 Why performance work is a battle03:59 How AI agents raise the stakes08:55 Quality control at the scale of agentic development10:34 How Perfloop maps systems and finds opportunities14:32 Using telemetry to prioritize hot paths18:13 Perfloop's open-source performance wins22:18 How Perfloop measures and verifies improvements25:11 Common performance patterns and bottlenecks28:47 The “apex hunt” for bigger architectural gains30:58 Initiatives and setting high-level performance goals35:21 Connecting code optimizations to customer impact39:59 Why independent verification matters44:36 Choosing the right AI models for each task49:45 What a harness does in Perfloop53:59 The possibility of pre-merge performance reviews57:24 How AI may change the role of performance engineers63:54 Why performance requires measurementImportant links:Patterns: https://app.perfloop.ai/t/oss/patternsPerfloop: https://app.perfloop.ai/t/oss/startFor memberships: join this channel as a member here:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_mGuY4g0mggeUGM6V1osdA/joinDon't forget to like, share, and subscribe for more insights!=============================================================================Like building stuff?

After Salesforce decided to sunset Quip, Jason used AI to rebuild the collaborative show-notes system the guys have relied on for a decade, adding more features while cutting the monthly cost to almost nothing. Then he took up Dave's challenge to modernize an aging open-source ham-radio application, turning it into a native-looking Mac app in a matter of hours. The catch: after decades of programming, Jason knows exactly what to ask for, what to watch for, and when the AI is confidently doing something stupid.That leads to the bigger question: what happens when software that once took months and tens of thousands of dollars can be built in an afternoon? The guys get into value-based pricing, the disappearing entry-level programming ladder, whether AI makes people lazy or gives curious people superpowers, and how custom software could start eating away at expensive SaaS subscriptions. Jason also lays out what he's learned from actually building with these tools: keep everything portable, use Git from day one, make the AI document its work, and never build something you can't eventually maintain yourself. Turns out the future may not belong to vibe coders after all—it may belong to people who already know what the hell they're doing.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Klickstein is a physician-scientist who has spent more than 20 years at the intersection of drug discovery, healthy aging, and preventive medicine. Drawing on his experience in academic medicine, translational research, and biotechnology, Lloyd walks through the full arc of modern drug development. He explains how scientists identify an unmet medical need and decide which diseases and therapeutic targets are worth pursuing. From there, he takes us through the process of engineering a drug, testing it in animals, and navigating clinical trials and regulatory approval. Using bimagrumab as a case study, Lloyd explains the rationale for targeting myostatin and activin signaling to increase muscle mass and strength and describes how the antibody was engineered and screened. He then walks through what was learned from early clinical trials. Unexpected effects on fat mass and type 2 diabetes helped reshape bimagrumab's development as a potential treatment for obesity, including its use in combination with semaglutide. Along the way, Peter and Lloyd explore the differences among drug modalities, including biologics and small-molecule therapeutics. They discuss the roles of patents and capital allocation in drug development, along with the requirements for IND submission and GMP manufacturing. They also examine why developing a new drug takes so long and costs so much, and why identifying failures early is critical. At the end of the episode, the conversation turns to mTOR inhibition and geroprotection, as well as Lloyd's current work on a novel pharmacologic approach to cancer prevention. This episode provides a rare behind-the-scenes look at how new medicines are actually created and the scientific, regulatory, and economic decisions that determine which ideas ultimately make it to patients.

He focuses on enhancing pupil experience and academic engagement, recently leading initiatives such as adapting IAPS pupil voice surveys for younger years and implementing STEAM-based enterprise education.Key TakeawaysHigh engagement changes what a survey means — a 90%+ response rate across 31 schools and 4,500+ children gave Fairfield genuine confidence in the results, not just a token gesture.Reading came out lower than expected nationally — prompting Fairfield to design their own follow-up survey, tailored by age, to understand why.Children who saw fewer adults reading at home still valued and enjoyed reading just as much, challenging an assumption the school expected to confirm.AI and screen-time debate is polarising schools — Fairfield's approach is deliberately cautious: gather evidence, avoid rash decisions, keep tradition and innovation both on the table.STEAM grew from a single enrichment week into a whole-school strategy — including a standalone DTE (Design, Technology & Engineering) subject and a staff-led STEAM committee.Parent-led Engineering Days work because they're personal, not prescriptive — asking parents "how did your passion begin?" builds far deeper buy-in than a generic "come and help" request.Careers work shifted from academic to practical — pupil feedback drove a redesigned careers fair connecting children with real workplace journeys, not just university pathways.Chapters:00:02 - Interview: Jamie Mosley Sarsfield — Deputy Head Academic, Fairfield Prep00:35 - Podcast Welcome & Show Overview07:09 - Unexpectedly Low Reading Scores in the Survey13:25 - Building a Reading Culture: Library, Librarian and Survey-led Initiatives23:50 - Broadening the Curriculum: Integrating STEAM and the Arts30:39 - Engaging Parents and Community in STEAM and Careers37:12 - Introducing FIRE: Feedback, Inspiration, Resilience & Empowerment42:27 - Getting Involved: How to Find Out More About Fairfield Prephttps://lborofairfield.org

In this Take, I break down why the biggest AI labs, while deeply unprofitable sitting on massive future compute obligations, are racing toward trillion-dollar valuations. I explore how open-source competition, especially from China, is crushing their moat, and why that pushes them toward lobbying for fear-driven regulation, immunity, and government partnerships. Ultimately, I argue that the AI panic is about preserving a failing business model and building a centralized surveillance infrastructure, and why we shouldn't be the ones paying their bill.

Interview with Tara Christie, President & CEO of Banyan Gold Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/banyan-gold-tsxvbyn-undervalued-investment-series-with-tara-christie-9788Recording date: 24th September 2026Banyan Gold Corp. (TSXV:BYN) is moving from exploration into development at its AurMac gold project in the Yukon. The project hosts a pit-constrained resource of 3.64 million ounces Indicated at 0.68 g/t and 4.98 million ounces Inferred at 0.58 g/t. It benefits from an unusual level of existing infrastructure for a northern Canadian project, including all-season road access, a grid-connected power line and cell phone coverage. A maiden PEA is due in the fourth quarter of 2026.CEO Tara Christie describes the PEA as a conservative waypoint rather than an end point. It is built on drilling to the end of 2025 and is expected to assume a large-scale operation of 35,000 to 40,000 tonnes per day using a CIL circuit with gravity recovery. It will also assume on-site power from LNG and diesel. Christie argues that publishing now allows Banyan to begin substantive conversations with the First Nation of Na-Cho Nyäk Dun, local communities and the territorial and federal governments about the project's footprint, power needs and roads ahead of permitting.The 2026 drill programme, at 70,000 metres, was designed around the PEA's pit phases. About 60,000 metres at AurMac target high-grade conversion to improve grade, strip ratio and the early-year production profile. Hole AX-26-874, drilled in the previously untested gap between the Airstrip and Powerline deposits, returned 13.03 g/T gold over 14.2 metres. Christie believes it could reshape pit sequencing and potentially form a new starter pit. Deeper drilling is also testing mineralisation below the roughly 200 metre depth limit of historical holes. Banyan plans eight drills from mid-January and a 2027 programme of 100,000 metres at AurMac and 20,000 metres at Nitra.Funding is the other pillar. Banyan announced a C$50 million LIFE offering and a concurrent C$8 million placement at C$2.00 per share on 20 September 2026. Franco-Nevada, which bought a legacy NSR royalty over AurMac for C$52.2 million earlier in the year, is subscribing for 10 million shares. Christie said the treasury should reach around C$100 million, funding the company through 2027 and into 2028. She is investing C$500,000 personally, and she said all but one of the largest shareholders took up their pro rata share. Banyan also joined the GDXJ ETF on 21 September 2026.The company is building its development capabilities, adding a Vice President of Strategy and Corporate Development and recruiting a Vice President of Engineering. Baseline environmental work has run since 2021. At the Nitra project, 25 kilometres to the west, the first two of 11 targets drilled in 2026 produced discoveries, including 5.70 g/T gold and 544 g/T silver over 0.5 metres at Seattle Creek.Risks include the Inferred share of the resource, dependence on future grid power, permitting timelines, winter logistics and single-asset concentration. Christie is clear that her goal is for AurMac to become a mine, whether Banyan builds it or a larger company pays a premium for a de-risked asset. Near-term catalysts are the financing close, the Q4 2026 PEA, winter drilling between the pits, further Nitra assays and a resource update that management expects to exceed 10 million ounces.View Banyan Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/banyan-gold-incSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com/subscribe

Seven months into the largest oil supply disruption in history, there's still no resolution in sight. This week, on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, US and Iranian officials held their first indirect talks since the Memorandum of Understanding collapsed in July—but neither side appears ready for concessions. Energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz remain contested and hard to track. A US blockade has pushed Iranian crude exports close to zero, while naval escorts and dark transits near the Omani coast have allowed a partial, volatile recovery in flows from Arab Gulf states—still well below pre-war levels. Attacks on shipping continue, and the Houthis have opened a new front against Saudi Arabia, choking flows through the Bab al-Mandab and striking key infrastructure like the East-West pipeline. Brent crude sits at $105​ a barrel, below April's $126 peak, but that headline number masks just how tight markets really are: diesel ​i​s over $6.50 per gallon in the US, up 85% from pre-war levels​; tanker rates​ are 20 times normal; and markets are visibly scrambling for crude. Meanwhile Republican senators from US farm states are pushing for a diesel export ban, and the Trump administration is reportedly considering it over objections from members of his cabinet. How much crude is actually flowing through the Strait of Hormuz. Why is diesel the most acute pressure point in oil markets? What would a US diesel export ban mean? And why have tanker rates gone stratospheric?  T​oday on the Iran Conflict Brief, ​D​aniel Sternoff talks with Jan Stuart, global energy strategist at Piper Sandler. Jan has built leading energy franchises at Credit Suisse, Macquarie, and UBS, was a journalist in the 1990s, and began his career at the International Energy Agency in Paris.

Your boss's hours are real. That they're what got him promoted is the part you guessed.   Built on a whiteboard. Watch it.   Jeff was the guy you call when something breaks. He stopped answering his phone, stopped accepting same-day meetings, and told his boss he was declining a $20,000 project so he could put the hours into a multi-million-dollar proposal. He started in March. He was a director of engineering that August.   You look one or two levels up the org chart and you see the 10pm Slack, the weekend work, the calendar with no white space left in it. Then you draw a conclusion, and it sends you one of two ways. Either you start paying a price nobody ever asked you for, or you quietly stop wanting the job.   Same misread, opposite casualties.   In this episode: the two columns drawn out on the whiteboard, the two ways engineering leaders misread the org chart and what each misread costs, both of Jeff's boundary rules, and why a company that genuinely rewards heroic hours still isn't proof that overwork works.   Go sort your list.   New here?

Very Important Links!Support the show on Patreon! - Other ways to support the show!Join our Discord! - Buy some merch!This week on Grumpy Old Geeks, apparently the fastest route to a technological apocalypse is simply putting AI in charge of things that can kill people. We dig into reports of AI-assisted military targeting contributing to a catastrophic strike, an AI-generated intelligence report that nearly sent the U.S. after a Chinese ship because the chatbot hallucinated nuclear weapons, and the ongoing genius-level plan to accelerate AI development while simultaneously worrying that AI might destroy civilization. Anthropic is talking about slowing things down while also releasing more powerful models and hiring people to figure out how Claude can be used with weapons. Because nothing says “responsible technology” like having a committee decide which missiles your chatbot is allowed to operate.Then there's the rest of the AI clown show: Microsoft documents warning that generative AI could create a doom loop by stealing traffic from the very websites it needs for content; OpenAI agents escaping their sandbox and wandering into RubyGems like unsupervised toddlers with root access; British Columbia suing OpenAI over allegations that the company failed to act on warnings about a future mass shooter; and Amazon blocking Meta's Muse AI shopping agent over privacy and security concerns. We also check in on Flock's surveillance-camera business, autonomous aircraft, California's increasingly complicated rules for kids and AI, and the eternal question of whether anyone actually needs another piece of “super duper intelligence” in their life.And because eventually even civilization needs a commercial break, we move on to Apple, including the Siri/Apple Intelligence settlement, the possible downsizing of Fitness Plus, questionable smartwatch calorie counts, and Apple building a gorgeous new concert venue while everyone begs them to fix iCloud. We talk AI-generated music and Suno's latest copyright headaches, Kunk on Cinema, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Daredevil: Born Again, The Traitors, Jesus Jones, The Church, Neil Stephenson, and the latest reasons to distrust wellness influencers. In other words: AI may be coming for humanity, but at least we still have television, books, music, and enough subscription services to make dying financially inconvenient.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.
