Dimes and Judas discuss a JPMorgan analyst making an outrageously false sexual assault claim against his girlboss, the inept Indian truck driver responsible for the Humboldt Broncos crash avoiding deportation, and the alleged Carney Pivot restoring Canadian sovereignty. After accounting the recent coordination of Age Verification laws being pushed across the Western world, they review the book “Secret Wars: Covert Conflict in International Politics” by Austin Carson. The book explains the ways powerful states covertly participate in foreign wars, how these secretly conduct these secret conflicts, and the logic behind keeping the public unaware. Lastly, on this edition of The Copepranos Society, Dimes returns to The J. Burden Show to discuss a series of unrelated and incoherent topics as he completely forgets to promote his documentary “How to Make a Canadian People.” It's very enjoyable though.

A single hand raised can fool us into thinking a class feels safe, while most students are silently calculating the social cost of being wrong. We sit down with award-winning educator and burnout expert Chase Mielke to make psychological safety practical through a Goldilocks Gradient lens: low, mid, and high-risk moments that shape student participation, academic risk-taking, and real engagement.We talk through why “one student in the spotlight” instantly creates a high-gradient situation, even when the question is simple. Then we map out how to sequence learning so students warm up before you ask for courage: quick partner exchanges, brief opinion prompts, and fast confidence checks that serve as formative assessments. We also get honest about the harm of cold calling when it spikes threat responses, and how “lukewarm calls” preserve rigor while protecting dignity.The conversation moves beyond talk into the environment itself. Classroom layout, teacher movement, lighting, and visual cues can quietly broadcast safety or threat. Chase shares ways to use anchor spots in the room, class agreements, and displays that celebrate progress and courage so students see mistakes as part of learning. If you're building SEL, classroom culture, and equitable participation, these strategies are designed to be usable tomorrow. Subscribe, share this with a colleague, and leave a review with the one small change you're going to test next.EPISODE RESOURCES:Connect with Chase via his website, LinkedIn, and Instagram.Purchase Chase's book and read his articles.

Follow @newpalm This mix is a live recording of my all vinyl, early afternoon set on the third and final day of Gradient Campout 2025. Gradient, a joint effort between New Palm and Printshop, is an annual DIY campout that takes place in late April in the high deserts of Southern California. It's an excerpt from a 3 hour stretch of music that kicked the day off, with New Palm's label head Spillman starting with an experimental set, leading into a b2b ambient section by the both of us, and finally into what you'll hear in this mix. Gradient is a special place for me and all those involved, as it grew organically over the years from a gathering of like-minded friends, with a DIY-ethos at its core. Last year was particularly inspiring, as Gradient fully blossomed into what we hope to continue to build on. Gradient 2026 will take place on April 24-26, and I cannot wait!

Selador UnbrokenOne - Wilderness EP' (incl. Kamilo Sanclemente & Mauro Aguirre Remix) - Selador Don'tcha just love it when a plan comes together? Be it serendipity, karma, top producer meets damn good A&R, likeminded souls finding cultural common ground as they bond musically across the ether…or most likely a combo of all the above. Which is how the incredibly talented UnbrokenOne, long time Digweed favourite, makes a most welcome Selador debut with this storming EP. What instantly jumps out from the grooves contained herein is a deep knowledge of electronic music in all its myriad forms. This is what enables lead track ‘Wilderness' to rise above sub-genres and pigeonholes. Its intricacies, as a series of infectious riffs, well chosen vocal snippets and percussive ingenuity weave in and out of each other, are a thing of beauty. It's a case of the parts are great, the sum of them even greater. Sister track ‘Gradient', if you'll allow us to channel our inner football pundit for a moment, sets its stall out early doors. Deep'n'dark from the off, squelchily hypnotic, rising slowly but oh so surely to a melodic / epic crescendo. And it's a warm Seladorian welcome back to Colombia's finest, Kamilo Sanclemente, this time in collaborative tandem with another label debutant, his countryman Mauro Aguirre. Their revision of ‘Gradient' bounces and throbs with serious dancefloor intent, and like the original builds climactically – pure dopamine release business. Team Selador – Wild Boys

Selador UnbrokenOne - Wilderness EP' (incl. Kamilo Sanclemente & Mauro Aguirre Remix) - Selador Don'tcha just love it when a plan comes together? Be it serendipity, karma, top producer meets damn good A&R, likeminded souls finding cultural common ground as they bond musically across the ether…or most likely a combo of all the above. Which is how the incredibly talented UnbrokenOne, long time Digweed favourite, makes a most welcome Selador debut with this storming EP. What instantly jumps out from the grooves contained herein is a deep knowledge of electronic music in all its myriad forms. This is what enables lead track ‘Wilderness' to rise above sub-genres and pigeonholes. Its intricacies, as a series of infectious riffs, well chosen vocal snippets and percussive ingenuity weave in and out of each other, are a thing of beauty. It's a case of the parts are great, the sum of them even greater. Sister track ‘Gradient', if you'll allow us to channel our inner football pundit for a moment, sets its stall out early doors. Deep'n'dark from the off, squelchily hypnotic, rising slowly but oh so surely to a melodic / epic crescendo.

We're coming to you live from NOLA Lab Fest with two very different, but equally nerd-worthy conversations. A HUGE THANKS to Aidite North America (https://www.aidite.com/) that has made this all available. Go show them some serious love. First up, Elvis sits down with Rik Jacobs from Novenda Technologies (https://www.lake3d.com/) to talk about a truly disruptive production-scale 3D printer that can print multi-material and multi-color—at the same time. We dive into voxel-based printing, integrated hard/soft gradients, no supports, water-soluble wax, massive denture and night guard output, and why centralized production labs should be paying very close attention to what Novenda is building next. Then we switch gears and catch up with Jess Gray, whose career journey is a masterclass in saying “yes,” learning fast, and building something special. From front desk at Aspen to running a rapidly growing in-house lab in the Finger Lakes region, Jess walks us through analog-to-digital dentures, Exocad self-education, facial scanning for All-on-X, in-office workflows, team building, and what it really takes to scale a lab while still loving the bench. This episode is packed with inspiration, tech talk, and real-world lab ownership lessons you don't hear every day. Happy Holidays from Ivoclar! As the year comes to a close, all of us at Ivoclar want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the incredible Voices From the Bench community. Thank you for your partnership, your trust, and the support you've shown throughout the year. From our Ivoclar family to yours, we wish you a joyful, healthy, and safe holiday season. May your days be merry, your nights be bright, and your smiles shine like freshly fallen snow. Ho, ho, ho — Happy Holidays from Ivoclar! Big news is coming your way in the world of CAM. Our friends at Ivoclar have teamed up with FOLLOW-ME! Technology (https://www.follow-me-tech.com/) to bring the Ivotion Denture System (https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us/products/digital-processes/ivotion) into the HyperDent CAM (https://www.follow-me-tech.com/hyperdent/) workflow. That's right—your favorite pre-shaded, two-layer Ivotion discs, the ones that let you design and mill a complete denture in one seamless process with no bonding and no mess, are now moving beyond closed systems. Thanks to this new partnership, Ivotion can finally be milled on open machines through HyperDent. And it gets better: you'll first see this powerful workflow available on the Roland DWX-53 series mills (https://www.rolanddga.com/products/dental/dwx-53d)—already a staple in so many labs—as well as the Imagine iMills (https://www.imagineusa.com/legacy/s/mills/imill). If you've been waiting for a faster, cleaner, more flexible way to produce full dentures, this is it. Ivoclar and FOLLOW-ME! just made the future of denture manufacturing wide open. Get ready—HyperDent is about to change the way you mill Ivotion. Special Guests: Jess Gray and Rik Jacobs.

Andy Pernsteiner is the Field CTO at VAST Data, working on large-scale AI infrastructure, serverless compute near data, and the rollout of VAST's AI Operating System.The GPU Uptime Battle // MLOps Podcast #346 with Andy Pernsteiner, Field CTO of VAST Data.Huge thanks to VAST Data for supporting this episode!Join the Community: https://go.mlops.community/YTJoinInGet the newsletter: https://go.mlops.community/YTNewsletter// AbstractMost AI projects don't fail because of bad models; they fail because of bad data plumbing. Andy Pernsteiner joins the podcast to talk about what it actually takes to build production-grade AI systems that aren't held together by brittle ETL scripts and data copies. He unpacks why unifying data - rather than moving it - is key to real-time, secure inference, and how event-driven, Kubernetes-native pipelines are reshaping the way developers build AI applications. It's a conversation about cutting out the complexity, keeping data live, and building systems smart enough to keep up with your models. // BioAndy is the Field Chief Technology Officer at VAST, helping customers build, deploy, and scale some of the world's largest and most demanding computing environments.Andy has spent the past 15 years focused on supporting and building large-scale, high-performance data platform solutions. From humble beginnings as an escalations engineer at pre-IPO Isilon, to leading a team of technical Ninjas at MapR, he's consistently been in the frontlines solving some of the toughest challenges that customers face when implementing Big Data Analytics and next-generation AI solutions.// Related LinksWebsite: www.vastdata.comhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYIEgFyHaxkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyDHIMniLro The Mom Test by Rob Fitzpatrick: https://www.momtestbook.com/~~~~~~~~ ✌️Connect With Us ✌️ ~~~~~~~Catch all episodes, blogs, newsletters, and more: https://go.mlops.community/TYExploreJoin our Slack community [https://go.mlops.community/slack]Follow us on X/Twitter [@mlopscommunity](https://x.com/mlopscommunity) or [LinkedIn](https://go.mlops.community/linkedin)] Sign up for the next meetup: [https://go.mlops.community/register]MLOps Swag/Merch: [https://shop.mlops.community/]Connect with Demetrios on LinkedIn: /dpbrinkmConnect with Andy on LinkedIn: /andypernsteinerTimestamps:[00:00] Prototype to production gap[00:21] AI expectations vs reality[03:00] Prototype vs production costs[07:47] Technical debt awareness[10:13] The Mom Test[15:40] Chaos engineering[22:25] Data messiness reflection[26:50] Small data value[30:53] Platform engineer mindset shift[34:26] Gradient description comparison[38:12] Empathy in MLOps[45:48] Empathy in Engineering[51:04] GPU clusters rolling updates[1:03:14] Checkpointing strategy comparison[1:09:44] Predictive vs Generative AI[1:17:51] On Growth, Community, and New Directions[1:24:21] UX of agents[1:32:05] Wrap up

Forrester's latest report indicates that the AI hype wave is reaching its peak, with many enterprises expected to delay a significant portion of their AI spending until 2027 due to challenges in proving return on investment (ROI). As a response to increasing regulatory complexities, 60% of Fortune 100 companies are anticipated to appoint heads of AI governance by next year. This shift highlights a growing focus on compliance and risk management rather than pure innovation. Meanwhile, G2's findings present a contrasting narrative, revealing that nearly 60% of companies have successfully deployed AI agents, with a low failure rate and high satisfaction among users.Despite the positive deployment statistics from G2, a study by Atlassian uncovers a paradox: while individual usage of AI tools has surged, 96% of businesses report no significant improvements in efficiency or innovation. The survey indicates that only 3% of executives believe AI has driven transformational change within their organizations. This disconnect suggests that while AI tools are being adopted widely, their impact on actual business outcomes remains limited, leading to skepticism among decision-makers.Anthropic's recent research raises concerns about the security of large language models, revealing that as few as 250 malicious documents could effectively poison these models, compromising their functionality. This alarming finding underscores the vulnerabilities present in AI systems, particularly those relying on public or partner data. The implications for businesses are significant, as they must now consider the security of their AI systems alongside their operational capabilities.In the hardware arena, Apple and Intel are igniting a new chip race, with Apple launching its M5 chip, which boasts enhanced AI performance and graphics capabilities. Intel's Panther Lake chip is set to compete with improved efficiency and performance metrics. As AI technology becomes increasingly integrated into devices, managed service providers (MSPs) must adapt to the complexities of endpoint management and AI readiness. The evolving landscape emphasizes the need for governance, security, and effective measurement of AI outcomes, positioning MSPs as crucial enablers in this transition.Four things to know today 00:00 Forrester, G2, Atlassian, and Anthropic Paint a Complex AI Picture — Success, Stagnation, and Security Risk06:09 Apple's M5 and Intel's Panther Lake Show the Future: Every Device Becomes an AI Engine09:17 GoTo, Gradient, and LevelBlue Show the Next MSP Evolution — Refinement, Not Reinvention12:21 Microsoft's Final Windows 10 Update and IE Mode Lockdown Signal the End of Legacy Tolerance This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  https://try.auvik.com/dave-switchhttps://scalepad.com/dave/

Xiao-Jing Wang is a Distinguished Global Professor of Neuroscience at NYU Xiao-Jing was born and grew up in China, spent 8 years in Belgium studying theoretical physics like nonlinear dynamical systems and deterministic chaos. And as he says it, he arrived from Brussels to California as a postdoc, and in one day switched from French to English, from European to American culture, and physics to neuroscience. I know Xiao-Jing as a legend in non-human primate neurophysiology and modeling, paving the way for the rest of us to study brain activity related cognitive functions like working memory and decision-making. He has just released his new textbook, Theoretical Neuroscience: Understanding Cognition, which covers the history and current research on modeling cognitive functions from the very simple to the very cognitive. The book is also somewhat philosophical, arguing that we need to update our approach to explaining how brains function, to go beyond Marr's levels and enter a cross-level mechanistic explanatory pursuit, which we discuss. I just learned he even cites my own PhD research, studying metacognition in nonhuman primates - so you know it's a great book. Learn more about Xiao-Jing and the book in the show notes. It was fun having one of my heroes on the podcast, and I hope you enjoy our discussion. Computational Laboratory of Cortical Dynamics Book: Theoretical Neuroscience: Understanding Cognition.
