Rob Ferguson is the VP of Technology and Strategy at Fireworks AI, a company that makes frontier AI infrastructure accessible to any organization that wants to own its own models rather than depend on someone else's. He started studying machine learning before it was called AI, worked on Pro Tools and AI systems for a music streaming service, helped design Amazon Go's grab-and-go technology, and built startup programs at AWS and Microsoft. Now he is at what he calls the front row of AI, sitting between applied research and go-to-market and translating what the technology can actually do into things companies can actually buy and build on. In this episode of Product Talk, iDonate VP of Product and Engineering Nacho Andrade sits down with Rob to talk about why speed is the AI feature no one asks for but everyone needs once they see it, how AI training went from lab-only to cheap as a cup of coffee, and his hot take that we are at the end of SaaS and entering an era he calls workwear. In this episode, we cover: (0:48) Rob's background from music and machine learning to Pro Tools, Artio, Amazon Go, and Fireworks (3:43) What it means to sit at the intersection of applied research and go-to-market (11:41) What Fireworks AI actually does: inference infrastructure and model training in one place (14:11) Who Fireworks serves and how the customer has changed as training costs have dropped (16:52) Speed as a hidden AI feature: why nobody asks for it and everyone needs it once they see it (20:18) The shift from AI as talkers to AI as doers, and what that means for product (21:24) AI independence vs AI dependence: why owning your model changes what you can build (23:27) The most common problem Rob sees: agents that work but cost thousands of dollars to run (26:25) Drawing the line in the sand: why doing less deeply beats promising everything (27:41) Hot take: we're at the end of SaaS and entering the era of workwear (31:55) Why domain experts and liberal arts thinkers become more valuable as surface-level software commoditizes (33:04) What the AI industry gets wrong about itself and the case for openness and independent scrutiny (38:24) The voice tech stack Rob is obsessed with and uses every day Blog and detailed workflow walkthroughs from this episode: https://productsthatcount.com/why-speed-is-the-ai-feature-no-one-asks-for-but-everyone-needs/

Marine Staff Sergeant Tony Storey served 21 years in the U.S. Marine Corps, including combat deployments to Somalia and Iraq. At just 21 years old, he led Marines into Somalia during Operation Restore Hope, survived a bullet striking the sandbag beside his head, and later endured a monsoon that flooded his fighting position with human remains.In this episode, of Urban Valor, Tony shares what it was like entering Mogadishu, serving as an 0311 Rifleman, training Iraqi security forces, and carrying the memories of combat long after coming home. 

Ole Miss knocked off LSU 32–24 in Oxford, Kentucky delivered a stunning 31–21 upset at Texas A&M, and Vanderbilt turned an apparent NC State victory into one of the wildest final-play finishes—and betting swings—college football has seen in years.Gary breaks down how Trinidad Chambliss shredded LSU for 363 passing yards before running in the go-ahead touchdown, why Ole Miss may be vulnerable at Florida after emptying the emotional tank, and how Kentucky turned a 7–0 deficit into 28 unanswered points as a 16.5-point underdog. Texas A&M's playoff path is suddenly in serious trouble with LSU, Missouri, Alabama and Oklahoma still ahead.Alabama also erased a 21–6 Florida State lead during a weather-disrupted 50–36 shootout. Keelon Russell accounted for four touchdowns, the Crimson Tide produced 615 yards, and five consecutive touchdown drives revealed both the excitement and volatility surrounding this young Alabama team.Plus: Mississippi State's furious comeback at South Carolina, Florida winning at Auburn, Houston pushing Texas Tech to the final two-point attempt, Louisville finally beating SMU, West Virginia improving to 3–0, Oklahoma's offensive problems before Georgia, and the biggest Week 3 betting results.

Fireworks on new years eve 2025-2026. After a long Dutch tradition of setting off fireworks freely on New Year's Eve, this was the last turn of the year it was still allowed. Public opposition to fireworks has grown considerably in recent years, and from now on it's only permitted within an association, under a permit, and by professionals. So this may well have been the last time I got to make such a full recording of fireworks. Aporee: https://aporee.org/maps/work/?loc=73497

We're setting sail, checking in, and admitting we got one wrong! We share our private Happily Ever After fireworks cruise experience, from a scenic ride around Bay Lake and an up-close look at the Electrical Water Pageant to watching Magic Kingdom's fireworks with synchronized audio onboard. We break down the experience, the cost of splitting a boat with friends, and whether this Disney extra deserves a spot on your vacation wish list.Then, we check into Disney's Riviera Resort for our first overnight stay, and discover that visiting a resort and calling it home are two very different experiences. We cover our spacious one-bedroom villa, pool time, the resort's relaxed atmosphere, and the bathroom layout that left us wishing for a little more privacy. Plus, we revisit Riviera's Resort Wars matchup against Saratoga Springs and officially change our winner!Of course, there's plenty of food along the way, including Primo Piatto, Bar Riva, Le Petit Café, and a memorable dinner at Topolino's Terrace. From duck confit gnocchi and standout tiger shrimp to affogatos, decadent desserts, and rooftop views of Luminous, this trip gave us plenty to talk about—and a few things we're already craving again.

The Never Weres Tom, Tim, and Jack Brown get together to talk about the Bears week one explosion. The Bills finally get past the Texans. The Rams lose, was it a long term issue or a throw away game? And more from an offense-heavy week 1.

Pat Boyle and Brad Evans react live to a chaotic, fast-paced opening quarter of Monday Night Football between the Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos. After Kevin Harlan calls Bo Nix's 19-yard touchdown strike to Evan Engram to knot the score at 7–7, the guys break down how both offenses rebounded from early mistakes—including Nix overcoming an opening-drive interception by rookie cornerback Mansoor Delane, Patrick Mahomes capitalizing with a touchdown scramble in his return from a torn ACL, and Kenneth Walker III establishing a rugged ground presence. Pat and Brad evaluate Denver's surprising offensive distribution early, keeping tabs on Brad's prop bet on Pat Bryant, a heavy tight end game script featuring Engram and Adam Trautman, and the fallout of Delane exiting with a shoulder injury before diving into late-season MLB wild card drama with Pete Crow-Armstrong and the Chicago Cubs.

Silicon Bites Ep400 | 2026-09-15 | A Putin-decorated oligarch paid for Don Jr's wedding party. Jared Kushner was a guest. Four months later, Kushner spoke remotely to an event in Kyiv and explained that the obstacle to peace is Ukraine. He is clearly upset that Ukraine won't surrender, won't capitulate to the aggressor, acquiesce to be erased. Both stories are crashing into our timelines today, in waves of disbelief, outrage and nausea. These are simply the worst people, dragging us to hell. Fireworks launched from a barge over the Caribbean. A five-tier cake airlifted in from Florida. Helicopters and seaplanes landing on a pair of ultra-exclusive private islands. The president's eldest son lifting his bride into the air on the sand. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Jen Igartua, CEO at Go Nimbly, joins Sam Jacobs, AJ Bruno, and Asad Zaman. Her client roster is wild: Fireworks AI, Perplexity, Exa, and Wispr Flow, plus some of the biggest names in SaaS. Topics in today's episode include how the fastest-growing AI-native companies are growing in spite of their revenue operations (not because of them), the first project she runs when she wants to show ROI fast, and how she makes the case that RevOps is a support function and always was. Plus, whether the GTM engineer is anything more than RevOps with better marketing (and more)! Key Takeaways: - Operational debt at the fastest-growing AI companies tracks demand, not management quality. Go Nimbly's second customer was Zendesk in 2016, where the head of IT told her "oh, we've grown in spite of our operations." Jen shares what it takes to make a difference at the breakneck pace these environments demand. - RevOps spent a decade insisting it was strategic, and Jen thinks that cost the function credibility with the sellers it exists to serve. As she says in the episode: "I think that operators have been doing an injustice to sellers for a long time. And we are starting to really take onus of the fact that revenue operations needs to be a support function to the sales team. And we've been fighting it forever. We are not a support function. And I'm like, we actually are." Asad, who has argued the same line for years, put the failure mode in football terms: "if a goalkeeper starts trying to play like a striker, you don't let in a lot of goals, right?" - In a people business, staffing is the product, and Jen only learned that after COVID took Go Nimbly down to 20 people. The rule she rebuilt around is "I should only take projects of skills that I want to nurture," then staff someone who is 80% of the way there so the last 20% is stretch. "Our whole job is playing Tetris with resources." She is equally direct about what did not work: "I poured a bunch of money in being tech enabled... I burned millions of dollars trying to do it," because at her clients' scale "everything's custom." The payoff line is the one to keep: "if you nail staffing, you grow a really great services organization."

With most of Week 1 in the books, we go back through the games that deserved a longer look after Saturday night’s live reaction show. LSU’s demolition of Clemson is at the center of the conversation. How much of the result was about LSU looking immediately dangerous under Lane Kiffin, and how much should Clemson fans worry about a team that was physically overwhelmed? We also dig deeper into the fireworks between Ole Miss and Louisville, one of the most entertaining games of the weekend, and spend time on Notre Dame’s 41-13 win over Wisconsin at Lambeau Field. What should we make of the Irish offense after a sluggish start, how much can we learn from Wisconsin’s first half? From there, we go rapid-fire through some of the other Week 1 performances that caught our attention, including Washington’s Apple Cup win and encouraging starts from Indiana, Florida, UCLA and Mississippi State. We also start looking ahead to a loaded Week 2, with Michigan-Oklahoma, Ohio State-Texas and several other matchups that should tell us much more about what these teams actually are in 2026.

Sinch is the communications infrastructure the AI era runs on. There's a layer of infrastructure behind every text, call, and login code your product sends, and it works exactly like plumbing: nobody thinks about it until it's the reason something broke. Most providers route through 4-6 intermediaries; Sinch connects in 1-2 hops, direct carrier relationships across 600+ connections, handling 900 billion interactions a year across 60+ countries. Routing, compliance, fraud prevention handled automatically rather than manually managed by the business sending the message! Sinch is the reliability layer underneath AI-driven customer communications; the infrastructure that determines whether an AI agent's output actually reaches a real person as a delivered text, connected call, or verified interaction.

The forensic psychologist who set off a firestorm in the courtroom on Monday will be back on the stand today. The judge ultimately ruled against a mistrial, but admonished the prosecution and instructed the jury to disregard Dr. Helibrun’s testimony about “mortal sin”. Testimony resumes today, first with Helibrun - and we can’t wait to hear how defense attorney Kevin Reddington handles any further questioning of him - and then with the state’s final rebuttal witness. We could see closing arguments as soon as Wednesday, and Lindsay Clancy’s fate should be in the hands of the jury by midweek. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
