Stargate. Het had hét project van de toekomst moeten zijn. Een AI-project van 500 miljard dollar, van SoftBank, OpenAI en de Amerikaanse regering. Er zou volgens president Trump 'gelijk' 100 miljard worden geïnvesteerd en er zouden 100.000 banen bijkomen. Je raadt het al. Dat is niet gebeurd. Sterker: Volgens The Wall Street Journal is er nog geen enkel datacenter gebouwd. SoftBank en OpenAI zouden ruzie met elkaar maken. Dat is slecht nieuws voor Trump, voor de Amerikaanse economie en voor aandelen. Welke, dat hoor je deze aflevering. Krijg je ook een update over de tarieven van Trump. Zijn onderhandelaar wil meer tijd om er met de Chinezen uit te komen. Ondertussen werken de Europeanen aan een tegenaanval. Deze aflevering stellen we een aantal slachtoffers aan je voor. Slachtoffers van Trump, allemaal op hun eigen manier. Om te beginnen met NXP. De chipmaker ziet al vijf kwartalen de omzet én winst dalen. En het leed is nog niet voorbij, want NXP denkt dat de omzet ook in dit kwartaal (in het derde kwartaal) afneemt. AkzoNobel kampt vooral met de zwakke dollar. Die raakt de winst van Akzo. De omzet die in dollars wordt gehaald, is minder waard in euro's.

Wie konnte es passieren, dass in Baden-Württemberg über zwanzig Jahre 1.440 Lehrerstellen unentdeckt und damit unbesetzt blieben? Diese Softwarepanne macht den SPD-Landes- und Fraktionschef Andreas Stoch fassungslos. Allerdings hat er auch in seiner Zeit als Kultusminister (2013 bis 2016) davon nichts mitbekommen. SWR Aktuell-Moderator Bernhard Seiler hat mit ihm gesprochen.

Is AI the Fourth Pillar of Infrastructure?Infrastructure doesn't go away — it layers. And today, AI is emerging as a new foundational layer alongside compute, storage, and networking.Erik Torenberg interviews a16z's Martin Casado, Jennifer Li, and Matt Bornstein breaking down how infrastructure is evolving in the age of AI — from models and agents to developer tools and shifting user behavior.We dive into what infra actually means today, how it differs from enterprise, and why software itself is being disrupted. Plus, we explore the rise of technical users as buyers, what makes infra companies defensible, and how past waves — from the cloud to COVID to AI — are reshaping how we build and invest. Timestamps: (00:00) Introduction (01:49) Defining Infrastructure in the AI Era(03:15) The Fourth Pillar: AI's Role in Infrastructure(06:01) Historical Context and Evolution of Infrastructure(08:20) The Impact of AI on Software Development(10:18) Investment Strategies and Market Dynamics(17:02) Developer Tools and AI Integration(20:57) Defensibility in the AI Landscape(22:16) Founders' Intuition and Industry Progress(22:26) Defensibility in AI Infrastructure(24:00) Expansion and Contraction Phases in the Industry(24:35) The Role of Layers in Market Consolidation(27:43) The Future of AI Models and Specialization(29:27) The Decade of AI Agents(29:54) Context Engineering and New Infrastructure(34:23) The Evolution of Software Development(42:13) Horizontal vs. Vertical Integration in AI(43:54) Conclusion and Final Thoughts Resources: Find Martin on X: https://x.com/martin_casadoFind Jennifer on X: https://x.com/JenniferHliFind Matt on X: https://x.com/BornsteinMatt Stay Updated: Let us know what you think: https://ratethispodcast.com/a16zFind a16z on Twitter: https://twitter.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zSubscribe on your favorite podcast app: https://a16z.simplecast.com/Follow our host: https://x.com/eriktorenbergPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

Michael #1: Distributed sqlite follow up: Turso and Litestream Michael Booth: Turso marries the familiarity and simplicity of SQLite with modern, scalable, and distributed features. Seems to me that Turso is to SQLite what MotherDuck is to DuckDB. Mike Fiedler Continue to use the SQLite you love and care about (even the one inside Python runtime) and launch a daemon that watches the db for changes and replicates changes to an S3-type object store.

In this insightful episode, Mike Drues joins host Etienne Nichols to dissect the FDA's most frequently cited compliance issues, challenging the notion that many are strictly "pre-market" concerns. They delve into the nuances of software changes, design creep, and off-label marketing, providing a critical look at how companies can avoid common pitfalls. This discussion is vital for MedTech professionals seeking to understand the true nature of FDA expectations and build more robust quality systems.Timestamps00:04 – Introduction to common FDA compliance issues02:02 – Discussion on FDA's policy of not naming individuals05:45 – Mike Drues challenges the "pre-market" classification of common issues09:20 – Documentation requirements for different device classes11:35 – Mike's take on the most common FDA issues (beyond the presented three)15:40 – Root causes of common compliance problems and industry responsibility20:00 – The role of regulation and FDA's responsibility in clarity27:05 – Deep dive into design change and design creep31:40 – Software changes and the "bug fix" mentality35:45 – Marketing beyond authorized intended use with a real-world example41:00 – Key takeaways and proactive compliance strategiesStandout Quotes"If the regulation makes sense, we shouldn't need it. If the regulation doesn't make sense, we shouldn't have it." — Mike Drues. This quote encapsulates Mike's philosophy on regulatory compliance, emphasizing that true professionalism means understanding inherent needs rather than just following rules."You have a piece of software, you have a bug, you fix the bug… Is your job done? Absolutely not." — Mike Drues. This highlights a critical oversight in software development within MedTech, stressing the importance of holistic post-fix validation to prevent unintended consequences.Top TakeawaysRegulatory Misclassification: Many issues labeled by the FDA as "pre-market" (e.g., marketing beyond intended use, design creep) are fundamentally post-market compliance challenges. This distinction is crucial for companies to allocate resources effectively.Beyond Administrative Review: While administrative incompleteness accounts for a significant portion of 510(k) rejections (around 38%), the scientific and substantial equivalence reviews are major hurdles, with approximately 75% of 510(k)s rejected initially, primarily due to lack of substantial equivalence (85% of those rejections).Top Post-Market Violations: Historically, the most common reasons for FDA 483s and Warning Letters relate to CAPAs (12.5%), design controls (12.5%), and complaint handling (10.5%), collectively accounting for roughly 35% of all post-market issues. Companies should prioritize these areas.Software Change Management: Fixing a software bug is only the first step; a holistic review is essential to ensure no new problems are introduced and the device's safety, efficacy, and usability remain uncompromised.Intentionality vs. Compliance: Marketing a device beyond its authorized intended use, even if the device functionally performs beyond its cleared claims, carries significant regulatory and product liability risks. Companies should seek appropriate clearance for expanded claims rather than relying on off-label promotion.References & LinksEtienne Nichols' LinkedInGreenlight GuruCall to...

The musical world (both in music education, technology, and music ministry) has been adjusting to the reality of a world without Finale. It's been a guiding post in music notation software for many musicians. It's the software I learned on in music school. But sadly, after announcing last year that MakeMusic (Finale's parent company) would no longer support new software updates, it was time to begin shopping for another option. Today's episode of Ministry Monday features the prelude to a 4-part series on music notation software that NPM offered in the spring of 2024. While we invite you to watch all sessions if you're an NPM member (as it is a membership benefit), we offer a segment of the first episode which featured a discussion on copyright licensing within the paradigm of music notation software. To put it bluntly, we ask: are we allowed to re-engrave on music notation software, for the sake of a unified worship aid? If so, how do we report? And many more questions. For more information on Dorico, a music notation software which has become the frontrunner for Finale's replacement, check out the article written by Tony Ward in the July edition of Pastoral Music magazine. It's a resource that's yet another benefit of an NPM membership. (Have I sold you on renewing your membership yet?)

In this episode, we sit down with Derik Quinn, Managing Director at Spaulding Ridge, to explore the fast-evolving landscape of CPQ, Revenue Management, and Salesforce Revenue Cloud Advanced (RCA). Derik shares insights from his two-decade journey across BigMachines, Apttus, Argano, and now Spaulding Ridge, where he leads large-scale quote-to-cash transformations in manufacturing, high-tech, and medtech. We discuss the shift toward constraint-based configuration, the excitement around Dynamic Revenue Orchestration (DRO), and why Salesforce RCA is gaining traction across industries. Derik highlights differences in adoption trends—new implementations in manufacturing versus migrations in high-tech—and the growing interest in AI for sales efficiency and revenue intelligence. With over 100 RCA consultants globally, Spaulding Ridge is driving momentum into Dreamforce and beyond. Plus, we hear about Derik's passion for endurance sports, parenting two active daughters, and how customer KPIs shape project success. If you're interested in quote-to-cash innovation, Salesforce RCA adoption, or industry-specific CPQ trends, this episode delivers expert perspectives you won't want to miss.

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

Send us a textEver had a child born in an elevator? Jeremy Greene has, and it's just one of the fascinating stories he shares on this episode of the Quarterback Dadcast. As a father of two young children and the co-founder of Feather, a relationship-focused productivity platform, Jeremy brings a refreshing perspective on balancing entrepreneurship with present parenting.  Growing up in a family where his grandfather and father built a successful residential construction business, Jeremy absorbed powerful values that now shape his approach to parenting. "Family is everything at the center," he explains, describing how this foundation has only strengthened since meeting his wife Christina, whose West Indian culture similarly prioritizes family bonds.The conversation takes a dramatic turn when Jeremy recounts his son Cameron's birth – a four-hour labor that culminated with delivery in a hospital elevator with the help of a doctor who happened to be nearby. This story of unexpected challenge mirrors Jeremy's entrepreneurial journey, which began when he recognized the need for better relationship management tools while sending Father's Day messages to fellow dads in his contact list.What makes this episode particularly valuable is Jeremy's honesty about his parenting struggles. He openly discusses his efforts to be more present despite the demands of building a company, sharing practical wisdom like taking ten seconds before entering the home to reset his energy. His three-part advice for fellow fathers – energy management, partner alignment, and giving yourself grace – offers simple yet powerful practices for anyone navigating the complex journey of parenthood.Whether you're an entrepreneur balancing work demands with family life or simply a father looking for inspiration, Jeremy's blend of vulnerability, practical wisdom, and unwavering commitment to family values will leave you with actionable insights for your own parenting journey. Listen now and discover how you can strengthen the quarterback position in your own family huddle.Please don't forget to leave us a review wherever you consume your podcasts! Please help us get more dads to listen weekly and become the ultimate leader of their homes!

In this episode of the Growing Your Firm Podcast, host David Cristello welcomes Ben Taylor, CEO of SoftLedger. They discuss Ben's journey from being a practicing CPA for over ten years to becoming a software entrepreneur. The conversation highlights a growing trend among CPAs transitioning into technology companies, with examples of others in the industry, such as Jackie Meyer and Kelly Mann, who have made similar shifts. David and Ben explore the motivations behind this movement and the increasing desire within the accounting community to create innovative tools and software. Tune in to learn more about this exciting evolution in the world of accounting and technology.

Alicia tackles a major issue she's encountered while training CPAs: the outdated practice of using journal entries to fix miscategorized transactions instead of properly reclassifying them. She explains why this traditional approach fails in the modern QuickBooks environment, where AI learns from past categorizations and business owners need accurate data throughout the year, not just at year-end. The episode focuses on the powerful Reclassify Transactions tool and how it can save time while ensuring data accuracy across all reporting periods.Sponsors(00:00) - Introduction and Wheel of Rants (00:31) - The Reclassify Tool: A Modern Approach (04:17) - Creating Rules for Accurate Categorization (07:34) - Using the Reclassify Transactions Tool (14:34) - Conclusion and Final Thoughts Resources LinkedIn Group: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/14630719/YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@UnofficialQuickBooksPodcastEmail: unofficialquickbookspodcast@gmail.comLinks from Episode Use this link to access Reclassify from any QBO file, even if you don't have the QBOA briefcase: qbo.intuit.com/app/reclassify-transactionBDO Alliance: https://www.bdo.com/about/bdo-alliance-usaAlicia's QBO Hands-on Training: http://royl.ws/QBO-complete?affiliate=5393907Sign up to Earmark to earn free CPE for listening to this podcasthttps://www.earmark.app/onboarding

More and more of the tasks we perform in our daily lives are been guided by artificial intelligence, from searching the internet for answers to relying on satellite navigation in our cars. But studies recently released suggest that our use of AI is having a negative impact on our ability to make informed judgements and decisions. In one recent study from MiT's Media Lab, a group of people were asked to write several essays. Some of them used AI, others didn't. Those who used generative AI reportedly became lazier with each subsequent essay. This cognitive offloading, allowing AI to take over from our brains might be less taxing, but there are concerns that if we come to rely on AI, we are in danger of replacing our own critical thinking for a technology that might not always come up with the right answer. However, there are those who argue that AI can be beneficial in helping our cognitive function, that it can be employed to take on the more mundane, repetitive tasks, freeing up headspace to allow us to become more productive. Software education platforms are just one example where AI is been employed to assist teachers in things like knowledge checks and grading, with the claim that it allows them time for more valuable interaction with their students. So is it possible to find a balance where we can we can rely on AI but not to the extent were we lose our mental agility.

Brian #1: Switching to direnv, Starship, and uv Last week I mentioned that I'm ready to try direnv again, but secretly, I still had some worries about the process. Thankfully, Trey has a tutorial to walk me past the troublesome parts. direnv - an extension for your shell. It augments existing shells with a new feature that can load and unload environment variables depending on the current directory. Switching from virtualenvwrapper to direnv, Starship, and uv - Trey Hunner** Trey has solved a bunch of the problems I had when I tried direnv before Show the virtual environment name in the prompt Place new virtual environments in local .venv instead of in .direnv/python3.12 Silence all of the “loading”, “unloading” statements every time you enter a directory Have a script called venv to create an environment, activate it, create a .envrc file I'm more used to a create script, so I'll stick with that name and Trey's contents A workon script to be able to switch around to different projects. This is a carry over from “virtualenvwrapper', but seems cool. I'll take it. Adding uv to the mix for creating virtual environments. Interestingly including --seed which, for one, installs pip in the new environment. (Some tools need it, even if you don't) Starship Trey also has some setup for Starship. But I'll get through the above first, then MAYBE try Starship again. Some motivation Trey's setup is pretty simple. Maybe I was trying to get too fancy before Starship config in toml files that can be loaded with direnv and be different for different projects. Neato Also, Trey mentions his dotfiles repo. This is a cool idea that I've been meaning to do for a long time. See also: It's Terminal - Bootstrapping With Starship, Just, Direnv, and UV - Mario Munoz Michael #2: rqlite - Distributed SQLite DB via themlu, thanks! rqlite is a lightweight, user-friendly, distributed relational database built on SQLite. Built on SQLite, the world's most popular database Supports full-text search, Vector Search, and JSON documents Access controls and encryption for secure deployments Michael #3: A Python dict that can report which keys you did not use by Peter Bengtsson Very cool for testing that a dictionary has been used as expected (e.g. all data has been sent out via an API or report). Note: It does NOT track d.get(), but it's easy to just add it to the class in the post. Maybe someone should polish it up and put it on pypi (that person is not me :) ). Brian #4: Some Markdown Stuff Textual 4.0.0 adds Markdown.append which can be used to efficiently stream markdown content The reason for the major bump is due to an interface change to Widget.anchor Refreshing to see a symantic change cause a major version bump. html-to-markdown Converts html to markdown A complete rewrite fork of markdownify Lots of fun features like “streaming support” Curious if it can stream to Textual's Markdown.append method. hmmm.

Stocks hold steady as tariff uncertainty continues. Our CIO and Chief U.S. Equity Strategist Mike Wilson explains how policy deferrals, earnings resilience and forward guidance are driving the market.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Mike Wilson, Morgan Stanley's CIO and Chief U.S. Equity Strategist. Today on the podcast I'll be discussing why stocks remain so resilient. It's Monday, July 14th at 11:30am in New York. So, let's get after it. Why has the equity market been resilient in the face of new tariff announcements? Well first, the import cost exposure for S&P 500 industries is more limited given the deferrals and exemptions still in place like the USMCA compliant imports from Mexico. Second, the higher tariff rates recently announced on several trading partners are generally not perceived to be the final rates as negotiations progress. I continue to believe these tariffs will ultimately end up looking like a 10 percent consumption tax on imports that generate significant revenue for the Treasury. And finally, many companies pre-stocked inventory before the tariffs were levied and so the higher priced goods have not yet flowed through the cost of goods sold. Furthermore, with the market's tariffs concerns having peaked in early April, the market is looking forward and focused on the data it can measure. On that score, the dramatic v-shaped rebound in earnings revisions breadth for the S&P 500 has been a fundamental tailwind that justifies the equity rally since April in the face of continued trade and macro uncertainty. This gauge is one of our favorites for predicting equity prices and it troughed at -25 percent in mid-April. It's now at +3 percent. The sectors with the most positive earnings revisions breadth relative to the S&P 500 are Financials, Industrials and Software — three sectors we continue to recommend due to this dynamic. The other more recent development helping to support equities is the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill. While this Bill does not provide incremental fiscal spending to support the economy or lower the statutory tax rate, it does lower the cash earnings tax rates for companies that spend heavily on both R&D and Capital Goods.Our Global Tax Team believes we could see cash tax rates fall from 20 percent today back toward the 13 percent level that existed before some of these benefits from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that expired in 2022. This benefit is also likely to jump start what has been an anemic capital spending cycle for corporate America, which could drive both higher GDP and revenue growth for the companies that provide the type of equipment that falls under this category of spending. Meanwhile, the Foreign-Derived Intangible Income is a tax incentive that benefits U.S. companies earning income from foreign markets. It was designed to encourage companies to keep their intellectual property in the U.S. rather than moving it to countries with lower tax rates. This deduction was scheduled to decrease in 2026, which would have raised the effective tax rate by approximately 3 percent. That risk has been eliminated in the Big Beautiful Bill. Finally, the Digital Service Tax imposed on online companies that operate overseas may be reduced. Late last month, Canada announced that it would rescind its Digital Service Tax on the U.S. in anticipation of a mutually beneficial comprehensive trade arrangement with the U.S. This would be a major windfall for online companies and some see the potential for more countries, particularly in Europe, to follow Canada's lead as trade negotiations with the U.S. continue. Bottom line, while uncertainty around tariffs remains high, there are many other positive drivers for earnings growth over the next year that could more than offset any headwinds from these policies. This suggests the recent rally in stocks is justified and that investors may not be as complacent as some are fearing. Thanks for tuning in; I hope you found it informative and useful. Let us know what you think by leaving us a review. And if you find Thoughts on the Market worthwhile, tell a friend or colleague to try it out!
