However, new research published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters indicates that it may have experienced dramatic flares in the past. Observations from the CRISM Space Telescope reveal X-ray emissions from a gas cloud near Sagittarius A, suggesting a history of explosive activity that alters our understanding of supermassive black hole evolution and the history of our galaxy.Water Origins of Jupiter's Galilean MoonsA groundbreaking study has determined that the contrasting water content of Jupiter's four large Galilean moons was established during their formation rather than evolving later. This research sheds light on the stark differences between Io, which is dry and volcanically active, and Europa, believed to have a subsurface ocean. The findings suggest that the primordial environment around Jupiter played a crucial role in shaping these moons' compositions.Meteor Impacts Trigger Dust Avalanches on MarsNew evidence indicates that meteor impacts on Mars are causing dust avalanches, creating dark streaks on the planet's surface. An analysis of images from the European Space Agency's ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter reveals that these avalanches occur primarily due to dry processes, driven by seasonal dust and wind activity, rather than water-related phenomena. This discovery enhances our understanding of Martian surface dynamics and the impact of meteor activity.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAstrophysical Journal LettersNature CommunicationsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.(00:00:00) Sagittarius A's hidden violent past revealed(00:12:45) Origins of water on Jupiter's Galilean moons(00:25:30) Meteor impacts causing dust avalanches on Mars(00:35:00) February night sky highlights and celestial events.(00:00:00) This is space time series 29, episode 13 for broadcast on 30 January 2026(00:00:47) X ray emissions from the Crism Space Telescope suggest Sagittarius A flared(00:07:59) A new study claims dust avalanches caused by meteor impacts are creating Martian streaks(00:10:22) February is the second month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars(00:12:03) February's Orion meteor showers usually peak around February 8th(00:22:18) Blue supergiant Rigel is the second brightest star in the constellation Orion(00:31:08) Rygel: Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky(00:35:09) February is a great time to look for bright stars in the night sky(00:38:04) The night sky is sparse with the old planets at the moment

    In this episode of Manufacturing Hub, Vlad Romanov and Dave Griffith sit down with Benson Hougland from Opto 22 to get brutally practical about what is actually running on shop floors today, and what it takes to move from legacy automation to modern, data ready operations without breaking what already works. If you have ever walked into a plant and seen a mix of decades old controllers, manual processes, islands of automation, and a few shiny modern pockets of connectivity, this conversation will feel very familiar. Benson has spent roughly three decades at Opto 22 and he has seen the full spectrum, from brownfield realities where nothing can go down, to greenfield expansions where teams can finally design with data, security, and integration in mind.A major thread in this discussion is the gap between “the machine runs” and “the business can learn from the machine.” Benson lays out why so many facilities still operate in a world of siloed equipment with minimal visibility, and why digital transformation stalls when the goal is vague or driven by trend chasing. The most actionable insight is simple: start with a real problem, win small, build trust in the data, and only then scale. That approach is how you avoid proof of concept purgatory, and it is also how you get leadership buy in without overpromising. If you are looking at industrial AI, it becomes even more critical, because manufacturing cannot tolerate hallucinated answers. Benson explains why industrial AI starts with sanctity of data, meaning clean, contextualized, trustworthy signals that an organization can actually act on.You will also hear a grounded take on why hardware still matters in 2026. Not because everyone wants to rip and replace working PLCs, but because modern plants need layered edge strategies that can extract the right data, protect legacy assets, and integrate upward using open methods.About the guestBenson Hougland is a long time leader at Opto 22, a US based manufacturer of industrial controllers, edge devices, and IO. He focuses on customer and integrator feedback, product strategy, and the practical challenges teams face when modernizing systems while keeping operations running. Opto 22 is known for building and manufacturing in the United States and for leaning into open connectivity approaches that help reduce lock in and simplify integration.About the hostsVlad Romanov is an electrical engineer with an MBA from McGill University and over a decade of experience delivering automation and modernization work across high performing manufacturing environments. Through Joltek, Vlad supports manufacturers with plant floor assessments, controls and OT architecture, system modernization planning, integration execution, and technical upskilling so teams can own their systems long term. Vlad's work consistently sits at the intersection of reliability, operational execution, and the realities of IT and OT convergence, with a focus on what is feasible in real facilities, not just what looks good in a slide deck.Dave Griffith is a long time manufacturing and automation practitioner focused on bridging the gap between modern technology conversations and what is practical on the plant floor. Dave brings a systems mindset to modernization, with a strong emphasis on outcomes, maintainability, and the human factors that decide whether projects scale or stall.If this episode resonates and you are navigating modernization decisions, especially around OT networking, data infrastructure, platform selection, or plant floor security, Joltek can help you evaluate your current state, define a realistic target architecture, and build a roadmap that your team can execute.Joltek linkshttps://www.joltek.com/serviceshttps://www.joltek.com/education/ot-networking-fundamentalsTimestamps00:00:00 Welcome back and the hardware focused modernization theme00:01:40 Benson Hougland background, entrepreneur to controls to Opto 2200:04:10 A garage manufacturing story and the lessons of building real product00:09:00 The gap between cutting edge plants and manual, siloed operations00:11:10 What actually blocks modernization, capital, planning, and alignment00:13:10 Start small, solve a real problem, and build trust in outcomes00:14:40 Proof of concept purgatory and why leadership buy in changes everything00:17:50 Industrial AI needs data, and data integrity becomes the non negotiable00:22:30 Obsolescence, cybersecurity, and simplifying the industrial tech stack00:28:20 Cybersecurity is a process, not a product, and why defaults are deadly00:37:10 Linux at the edge, containers, and why modern controllers are like smartphones00:53:10 ProveIt and the virtual factories approach, real data, real integration paths

Note dell'episodio The Most Beautiful Italian Word (according to Italians) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbKSArNUR_4 Con Fabio oggi parliamo della sua esperienza all'estero e poi del suo ritorno in Italia. Come è andata? Dove tornerebbe? Ma non solo, parliamo di libri, di musica e cibo. E di seguito per chi vuole sapere di più di Fabio: Tutti i link utili per sapere di più di Fabio: https://fabiocerpelloni.com/ Any Language You Want - https://a.co/d/f7dp9fU Tiny Book Author (Amazon link) - https://a.co/d/4tSF01G Trascrizione Raffaele: [0:23] Bello, eh, questo stacco di batteria? Bellissimo! Matteo: [0:27] E buongiorno a tutti e due, oggi siamo in tre già dall'inizio. Raffaele: [0:33] Siamo di nuovo in tre. ricordiamo per chi si fosse perso la produttiva precedente, andatevela a recuperare. E questo spiegherà perché in questa puntata siamo in tre. Matteo, ma dove eravamo rimasti? Matteo: [0:53] Beh, e dove eravamo rimasti? Raffaele: [0:55] Io lo chiedo a te e tu lo chiedi a me? Matteo: [0:58] Non lo so. Raffaele: [0:59] Eravamo rimasti alle lingue, no? Abbiamo parlato quasi per tutta la puntata precedente di lingue. In quest'altra puntata, con il nostro Fabio, proviamo a trattare altri argomenti. Però usiamo le lingue come ponte. E quindi io ho subito una domanda per te, Fabio. Ovvero, sei italiano, ma scrivi libri e anche articoli, di questo poi magari ne parliamo nell'after show, in inglese. Come hai raggiunto questo livello di fluency si dice in inglese, di competenza chiamiamola in italiano? Ma anche di fiducia in se stessi, perché in tanti non scriverebbero un libro nella loro lingua madre. Tu invece scrivi libri in una lingua che non è la tua lingua madre. Fabio: [1:42] Ok. Quindi... buongiorno a tutti. A me è sempre piaciuto scrivere, devo dire, anche quando ero alle scuole superiori superiori, scuole superiori e medie. I miei temi che ci facevano fare... diciamo che sono sempre andato bene nei temi. Mi piaceva scrivere, mi piace esprimermi in forma scritta. Formandomi come insegnante ho dovuto scrivere parecchio in inglese, perché c'erano i vari... adesso non so come si può dire... assignments. I vari... (Compiti.) Compiti, esatto, compiti o comunque test dove dovevi produrre un testo scritto. E già questa cosa a me piaceva, perché poi anche scrivendo, vedi, ti vengono in mente cose, ti viene in mente... dubbi. Ci va la virgola, ci va questa proposizione, quell'altra, come esprimo quest'idea, quali parole uso? Quindi è un continuo scoprire quando scrivi. Sia idee che hai, ma anche a livello di forma, quindi di capire come strutturare una frase, un testo, un paragrafo. È una cosa che mi è sempre piaciuta, la faccio anche nella mia attività da libero professionista. Come ho raggiunto questo livello? Scrivendo, ricevendo anche un feedback, un riscontro. Da me stesso più che altro, perché poi sono sempre stato io quello che andava a vedere se il testo andava bene, se non andava bene. Adesso con l'intelligenza artificiale è tutto molto più semplice, quindi per qualcuno che vuole scrivere hai un assistente diretto che ti può dire "guarda, qua ci va questo, perché bla bla bla..." Poi sull'intelligenza artificiale possiamo farci un... Matteo: [3:51] Una serie più che una puntata. Fabio: [3:55] Comunque sì, addirittura adesso, non per dire, però arrivo a scrivere in inglese e mi sono quasi dimenticato le regole di punteggiatura dell'italiano. Perché le virgole in italiano, ho sempre il dubbio dove vanno, come vanno, se ci vanno. Mentre in inglese, scrivendo solo in inglese, perché poi scrivo solo in inglese, sono molto più sicuro di quello che metto sulla pagina. Raffaele: [4:26] C'è sempre interferenza. Ma i tuoi libri hanno una caratteristica, qual è questa caratteristica? Fabio: [4:33] Che sono corti. Sono corti. Appunto io li chiamo tiny books, libricini, perché il mio primo libro, Any Language You Want, in realtà è stato quasi una sorpresa per me. Perché io non ho mai pensato di scrivere un libro, in realtà. Io ho sempre visto questa cosa dello scrivere un libro, pubblicare un libro come un obiettivo impossibile. Scrivere un libro? Quante cose devi dire? Come fai a pubblicarlo? E poi cosa scrivo? Questo era quello che pensavo. Poi ho letto un libricino di business che si chiama Anything You Want di Derek Sivers, che era, che è, è stato un imprenditore americano, dove lui semplicemente aveva pubblicato questo libricino. Ogni pagina, su ogni pagina, ogni due facciate raccontava una storia di come aveva costruito il suo business. Ed era un libricino di meno di 100 pagine, molto piccolo. Ho detto "wow, cavolo, 'sto libro qua ha detto molto di più, ho trovato molto di più in questo libro che in tanti altri che ho letto. Perché comunque leggo parecchio. E ho detto "Quasi quasi lo scrivo anch'io un libro così", un libro corto, storie corte, iniziano e finiscono, ogni capitolo è una storiella. Storiella vera poi, perché non scrivo mai di... cioè non scrivo romanzi o storie inventate. E allora ho detto "Wow, allora ci provo anch'io, quindi non devo pubblicare 300 pagine per diventare un autore." [È] così che ho scritto poi il mio primo e il mio secondo. Che poi il mio secondo è "come scrivere un libricino". (Un metalibro.) Un metalibro, esatto, sempre storie mie. Parlo sempre... cioè parlo sempre di me, non perché sono egocentrico ma perché vorrei far vedere quello che può funzionare. L'ho fatto col primo con language learning, e l'ho fatto col secondo con il self publishing, lo scrivere. Raffaele: [6:53] C'è un grande vantaggio dei libricini, che ho sentito tra l'altro da, come chiamarlo, da un linguista e esperto anche di business che dovresti conoscere, ma ne parliamo nell'after show. Che dice che il vantaggio dei libri piccolini, è quello che ti spingono poi all'azione più facilmente. Finisci il libro presto e sei subito portato all'azione. Mentre invece libri grandi tendono ad addormentarti per certi versi. Quindi leggi il libro, ma poi alla fine del libro ti sei dimenticato di farci qualcosa con il libro. Fabio: [7:26] Sì, ne ho letto uno, appunto, anzi più di uno in realtà, dove è un continuo dire sempre la stessa cosa, sempre il solito, due o tre concetti, i soliti due o tre concetti, e tu dici "ma ok, non mi serve un altro esempio di questo concetto". E a volte questa cosa è un po' dovuta anche all'industria del publishing che richiede poi... l'autore... "o scrivi 250 pagine oppure non possiamo pubblicarti perché magari il libro non si vede sullo scaffale". Mentre un libro piccolo è più funzionale, ti dà quello che ti dà, quello che ti deve dare e basta: è inutile diluire o comunque dilungarsi, ecco. Raffaele: [8:21] Matteo, hai sentito nella puntata precedente? Fabio ha vissuto a Londra. Matteo: [8:27] Fabio ha vissuto a Londra, esattamente, ma questo lo dovevi sentire tu, che sei il Londra lover... Raffaele: [8:35] Eh vabbè, ma ci hai vissuto più tu che io però, è un'altra cosa che ci accomuna. Matteo: [8:40] Ma io prima di andare a Londra, perché poi andiamo anche a Londra, volevo chiedere a proposito dei due libricini: ma c'è un due senza tre in arrivo? Fabio: [8:49] C'è, c'è il 3. C'è il 3, è ancora un'idea, c'è un elenco di cose che voglio mettere dentro. Però ci sarà, io voglio continuare a farlo, sì, sì. Matteo: [9:04] A quel punto la seconda domanda è: ma è per caso su Any Martial Art You Want? Fabio: [9:12] No, non è su martial arts. Mia cognata mi ha detto "ah, hai scritto un secondo libro su come scrivere il primo libro, quindi il tuo terzo cos'è? Scrivi un terzo libro su come scrivere un secondo libro? Cos'è, Inception?" No, non è Inception, è sempre un libro di storie. Allora, ho un po' di idee, però quella che più mi piace, perché poi sempre parlando poi di language learning, di apprendimento linguistico: se fai qualcosa che hai... passione, per la quale passione o comunque qualcosa che ti entusiasma, poi la cosa ti riesce meglio. E quindi sto pensando a un libro di storie mie personali, sempre, ovviamente, però con un messaggio più universale. Non ho ancora ben chiaro il progetto, però questa cosa a me entusiasma molto. Anche perché io nel podcast che avevo aperto nel 2021, tutti [i miei primi] episodi erano storie mie personali, che utilizzavo per insegnare inglese. Prendere quei contenuti, aggiustarli e scrivere una storia, come testo scritto, e racchiudere il tutto in un libro poi... non so, questo qua è un progetto che mi ispira molto. Quindi diciamo che [all']80% questo è il terzo libro. Raffaele: [10:43] In bocca al lupo. Fabio: [10:44] Grazie. Raffaele: [10:46] "Crepi" si dice! No "grazie"! Fabio: [10:47] Crepi, crepi, infatti! Matteo: [10:48] Sei vegetariano? Fabio: [10:50] Io? Sono vegano. Matteo: [10:53] Ah vedi allora per questo non ha detto "crepi"! Matteo: [10:56] Ce li abbiamo tutti e tre allora: l'onnivoro, il vegetariano e il vegano. Matteo: [11:00] Posso fare una domanda che vorrei fare poi a tutti i nostri futuri ospiti, per fare poi una raccolta? Ci dai una ricetta? Fabio: [11:13] Una ricetta vegana? Matteo: [11:15] Una ricetta. Una ricetta che ti piace, una ricetta ovviamente che ti piace e che mangeresti, quindi se sei vegano, vegana. Raffaele: [11:22] La domanda più difficile delle due puntate. Fabio: [11:23] Questa è difficile sì! Allora, la ricetta: riso saltato con le verdure. E come si fa? Prendi il riso, lo salti e ci metti le verdure. Matteo: [11:41] Andiamo un po' più... almeno dicci le verdure. Fabio: [11:46] Ci metti il peperone, ci metti la carota, il broccolo, salti tutto, un po' di salsa di soia, riso integrale ai minerali: è più nutriente. E lo salto. Guarda, questo è come mi ha conquistato la mia compagna, con un riso saltato con le verdure. Raffaele: [12:07] Ma mi sembra una ricetta più asiatica che non italiana. Fabio: [12:10] Sì, perché sia io che la mia compagna siamo innamorati del sud-est asiatico, ci abbiamo viaggiato per cinque mesi e mezzo quando eravamo di ritorno dalla Nuova Zelanda. Così, con lo zainetto, senza... abbiamo pianificato i primi due giorni a Bali e poi il resto non sapevamo in realtà, non avevamo un piano. Avevamo un piano che stavamo in giro con i soldi che avevamo guadagnato in Nuova Zelanda a farci un mega viaggio, con un budget ristretto comunque. Non è che abbiamo fatto hotel 5 stelle, resorts... nulla di tutto ciò. Ma, con l'Asia sì, soprattutto io col Vietnam: mi piace molto. Raffaele: [13:02] Fantastico. Fabio, ti devo interrompere a questo punto, perché io prima ho lanciato l'amo per Londra ma non avete abboccato. Poi tu adesso hai detto che sei stato in Nuova Zelanda. Ma hai vissuto in più posti in giro per il mondo. Ti va di raccontarci un po' di questi tuoi... non viaggi soltanto, ma proprio di esperienze di vita all'estero? Fabio: [13:21] Allora, io sono partito per Londra nel 2011, lavoravo per Pret a Manger, che è tipo Starbucks. E ho fatto lì i primi... facciamo un anno e mezzo. Un anno e mezzo. Ero con la mia ex compagna, a Londra esperienza formativa, però esperienza che mi ha tirato fuori dal guscio, dalla protezione di mamma e papà. Ero lì facendo un lavoro per il quale non avevo studiato, perché facevo panini e zuppe. E il mio inglese lì è migliorato, perché comunque stando a contatto, parlando con i miei colleghi, sono migliorato. Poi con la mia compagna dell'epoca ci siamo lasciati, e ho detto "dove vado?" E pensavo "vado in Canada, adesso me ne vado in Canada, voglio comunque andare in un altro paese dove parlano l'inglese, così vado avanti, imparo sempre di più, diventerò insegnante". Avevo visto che c'era qualcosa qui col visto che non poteva funzionare, ho detto "no, sai dove vado? Andiamo da un'altra parte del mondo!" E sono andato in Australia. In Australia sono atterrato ad Adelaide e l'Australia per me è stato il mio... ancora lo ricordo come i miei due anni più belli dei miei 38 anni. Perché ho conosciuto un sacco di persone, ho visto un sacco di bei posti, poi a me piace il deserto, ho conosciuto la mia compagna attuale, che è quella che mi ha conquistato col riso con le verdure. In realtà l'avevo conosciuta in Italia perché, adesso la storia un po' si complica, in Italia io insegnavo così amatorialmente lezioni di batteria e lei era una mia studentessa. Matteo: [15:21] Oh, quindi legati dall'amore non solo per il sud-est asiatico, ma anche per la batteria e la musica. Fabio: [15:33] Sì, esatto. Una settimana prima che io partissi per l'Australia, io e Aloha, che è la mia compagna, abbiamo iniziato la relazione. Quindi è stata davvero dura all'inizio, perché in Australia io all'inizio ero da solo i primi quattro mesi. Lei poi mi fece la sorpresa di dire "vengo giù anch'io". Ma io ero io ero cotto, innamorato perso, cotto. Quindi i primi quattro mesi a distanza, in realtà quelli sono stati più brutti secondo me. Raffaele: [16:04] E che distanza poi, non è esattamente Napoli-Milano. Fabio: [16:07] Esatto, esatto, poi dall'Australia lei mi ha raggiunto, abbiamo fatto tutto quello che abbiamo fatto, perché abbiamo comprato un van, abbiamo girato, lavoravamo nelle farm, nelle piantagioni e abbiamo fatto lì quei due anni. E da lì poi ho detto "ma dove andiamo? Il visto è scaduto!" Il paese più vicino è la Nuova Zelanda, facilissimo da entrarci per candidarsi per il visto, l'abbiamo preso ed è lì poi che io ho preso la mia prima certificazione per diventare insegnante, ho iniziato a insegnare nelle scuole di lingua ad Oakland, in una scuola di lingua inglese ad Oakland, ho fatto tutta la mia prima esperienza. E la mia... Aloha lavorava in pasticceria, perché lei... no pasticceria, era una... vabbè comunque lavorava in un posto dove facevano da mangiare. E abbiamo fatto due anni lì, poi prima di tornare in Italia appunto abbiamo detto "andiamo a vedere l'Asia". Perché poi in Australia e in Nuova Zelanda incontravamo tante persone che dicevano "sono stato in Vietnam, abbiamo visto la Malesia, e la Cambogia, di qua. di là..." Tante persone in viaggio, sentivamo che avevano appunto avuto queste esperienze. Matteo: [17:27] E quindi dicevate "ma dovremmo vederla anche noi". Giusto. Fabio: [17:31] Esatto. Quindi prima di tornare facciamo anche noi i backpackers, come già lo facevamo, e andiamo lì. Abbiamo fatto appunto questi cinque mesi e mezzo vagando con lo zainetto, bellissimo. Io vorrei andare lì in pensione. Raffaele: [17:54] E invece sei tornato in Italia? Matteo: [17:56] Infatti sì, stavo per dire, vi siete stufati di girare? Fabio: [18:00] Beh, più che stufati,sapevamo l'inizio del viaggio e la fine. In realtà siamo tornati perché il visto della Nuova Zelanda era scaduto, in Indonesia, [nel] sud-est asiatico non potevamo stare. Anche perché i servizi... noi ci lamentiamo magari dell'Italia magari, però ci sono posti dove i servizi sono molto scadenti. E quindi siamo tornati, siamo tornati. Io poi ho iniziato a lavorare al British Council. Matteo: [18:39] Lavori ancora? No, non lavori [più] al British Council. Fabio: [18:43] Al British Council sono... come si dice... collaboratore, insomma, freelance. Raffaele: [18:49] Com'è tornare in Italia dopo aver vissuto diversi anni all'estero? Fabio: [18:54] Ma all'inizio, quando tornavo, perché ogni tanto tornavamo, io non vedevo poi l'ora di andare via, perché comunque la mia routine era dall'altra parte, avevo i miei progetti in Australia, Nuova Zelanda. Poi quando siamo tornati in realtà non è stato poi così scioccante o che so, deprimente o magari... È stata un'esperienza normale, abbiamo preso una casa in affitto, poi abbiamo comprato casa. Shock culturale non c'è stato in realtà, perché fondamentalmente siamo italiani quindi sapevamo cosa trovavamo. In realtà è stato anche... dopo aver visto certe cose fuori dall'Italia, in realtà ci siamo resi conto che in realtà ci sono tante cose che funzionano nel nostro paese. Però siccome siamo qui, non te ne accorgi poi. Te ne accorgi quando non le hai. Raffaele: [19:59] Le dai per scontate. Fabio: [20:01] Esatto, le dai per scontate. E quindi è stato anche un po'... mi ha fatto apprezzare in realtà di più l'Italia, il tornare. Matteo: [20:10] Questo è interessante, molto interessante. Fabio: [20:13] Eh bisogna... per quello che quando si dice "viaggiare ti apre gli occhi, viaggiare..." cioè non è un cliché, è così. Logico: se viaggi... scusa. Matteo: [20:23] No no no, continua. Fabio: [20:24] No, dico, se viaggi in paesi magari dove la cultura è identica... però neanche tanto perché, per esempio in Australia abbiamo avuto un paio di episodi dove ci siamo trovati davvero male. Ora senza... io l'Australia la porto al top, numero uno. Qua non potete vedere, ma ho bandiere australiane appese, ho un didgeridoo, insomma un po' di cose. Però ci siamo trovati male un paio di volte con l'assistenza sanitaria, e ci siamo detti "cavolo, ma in Italia ci lamentiamo però sta cosa è inconcepibile, non ci è mai successa prima". Quindi adesso non voglio dire che il sistema, come si dice... il sistema healthcare dell'Australia non funziona, anzi. Però [ci sono] state un paio di cose che ho detto "mah, le cose..." Anche a Londra, ma in realtà ovunque, in realtà ovunque: trovi cose che qua non hai e viceversa. Matteo: [21:23] Sì, il fatto del viaggiare che ti apre a volte... automaticamente pensiamo sempre verso... guardando noi verso una direzione, guardiamo verso il luogo dove arriviamo e pensiamo sempre che l'apertura è verso nuove cose. Ma a volte, come spesso succede, ci si accorge che anche dietro di noi era una situazione diversa da come la vedevamo. Fabio: [21:53] Esatto. In Cambogia abbiamo visto persone in motorino con la flebo. Raffaele: [22:03] Cosa? Fabio: [22:04] Sì, perché la storia... la Cambogia ha avuto questo genocidio davvero deprimente negli anni '70 con Pol Pot, questo dittatore che aveva fatto fuori 3 milioni di cambogiani, soprattutto gli intellettuali. Cioè se avevi gli occhiali eri considerato intellettuale e quindi dovevi essere fatto fuori. E quindi c'è tutta una sorta di... non ci sono certe figure, tipo medici, ingegneri, intellettuali, che possono portare avanti il paese. Si stanno riprendendo... Questo me la raccontava una volontaria australiana che era lì, quindi magari da verificare questa cosa, però questo è quello che mi aveva detto lei. E quindi manca tutta quella fetta di società, di figure professionali lì, e sono quindi praticamente tutti contadini, pescatori, lavoranti, insomma nel settore agricolo. E la sanità? La sanità lì infatti eravamo in una situazione dove "cavolo, se qua cadiamo in motorino che si fa? Se abbiamo un incidente, se succede qualcosa?" Qua sei... devi poi andare in giro con la flebo attaccata in motorino, come ne abbiamo visti tanti. Persone in motorino con la flebo che uscivano da questa clinica, poi dici "vabbè..." Raffaele: [23:39] Pazzesco, molto Interessante però. Fabio, però il nostro tempo qui nella puntata aperta a tutti è finito. Quindi io ti faccio un'ultima domanda brevissima: come possono trovarti i nostri ascoltatori? Fabio: [23:51] Allora possono trovarmi sul mio sito fabiocerpelloni.com o mi potete trovare su YouTube, Fabio Cerpelloni. Vi mando lì. Ah scusate, un terzo canale è su Substack, che ho ed è chiamato Better Writers Matteo: [24:15] Benissimo. Allora inseriremo tutti questi link nelle show notes, così tutti quanti potete andare a fare un po' di stalking. Raffaele: [24:26] Matteo, però c'è un problema: io ho ancora delle domande per Fabio. Matteo: [24:29] E non c'è problema, in realtà noi abbiamo ancora un po' di tempo con Fabio e lo andiamo a passare di là. Io già so che Raffaele prende il caffè, Fabio la pizza, ho preparato tutto nella nostra saletta dell'aftershow. Quindi salutiamo tutti quanti e andiamo a mangiare pizza e bere caffè. Fabio: [24:53] Bel piano! Raffaele: [24:54] Ciao a tutti. Matteo: [24:56] Ciao. Fabio: [24:57] Ciao ciao!

In this conversation, Jim Grisanzio from Java Developer Relations talks with Jeanne Boyarsky, a Java developer, an author, and a Java Champion based in New York City. Jeanne previews her JavaOne session, which will be a Hands on Lab for Java 25 certification. Previously, Jeanne was a guest on Duke's Corner in January 2024: Jeanne Boyarsky on Java, Learning, and Contributing. Preparing for Java 25 Certification Jeanne will be running a hands-on lab about Java 25 and getting ready for the certification: Becoming One of the First Java 25 Certified Developers in the World (or Learning New Features). The session will cover features added to the language from Java 17 to Java 25. Although the certification has not been announced yet, Jeanne is already preparing for it. "You can be one of the first people in the world to be certified if you come to my talk and learn about it and are ready when the test comes out," she says. The lab will walk through tricky questions and edge cases featuring new functionality, with coding practice to explore the features directly. Even if you are not planning to take the certification test, the lab provides a good way to learn about the new features. The session is designed for beginners with one to three years of experience. Top Features in Java 25 Several features particularly excite Jeanne. She highlights scoped values, which she describes as "a good jump from thread local in order to be able to share code in a nice, safe, contained way." She also appreciates unnamed variables and unnamed patterns because developers no longer need to use annotations to suppress warnings for unused variables. "You can just use an underscore," she says. Jeanne is particularly interested in stream gatherers because streams are one of her favorite features in Java overall. She was excited when stream gatherers were in preview, and now that they are officially released, she can use them in her job. "Nice that the excitement hasn't worn off, right?" Among the new features, Jeanne is especially interested in the new main method, as described in JEP 495: Simple Source Files and Instance Main Methods. "I'm super, super, super excited about the new main methods where you don't need a class and you don't need the whole static void mess," she says. This change makes writing code more succinct. Making Java Accessible to Students This change in how Java handles the main method enables new developers to learn Java faster. Jeanne volunteers at a high school teaching kids how to code in Java. In the past, teachers had to tell students: "Alright, public class foo, public static void. Don't worry about what any of that means. We'll tell you later." But Jeanne says that curious kids would ask what it meant, and teachers could only say that comes later. Now, students start with void main, braces, and IO print line. "It's obvious what everything does," Jeanne says. Void means it does not return anything, which makes sense to students. They can even use the Java Playground and start with just IO print line. When they move to the command line or an IDE, they only need the void main part without discussing the word class until they are ready to learn about classes and objects. "It makes their first impression of the language so much better, and it makes it so much faster and easier for them to get started," Jeanne says. She particularly appreciates the Java Playground because students do not need anything installed on their computers to start. They can write print lines, loops, and control structures, and by the time teachers ask them to install something, they are already invested in programming. "It's fun." Jeanne calls the Java Playground "awesome" and says it's a "really nice utility" even for experienced developers. She uses it herself for quick tests when she does not want to open an IDE. JavaOne on Oracle's Campus When asked about JavaOne, Jeanne describes the conference as moving to California last year, just outside San Francisco on Oracle's campus. "The weather was great, which is awesome because I live in New York City. There's snow outside right now," she laughs. The venue particularly impressed her. "It was nice because it was on Oracle's campus. You got a feel for it. It was pretty. There was a lake. There was a lot of areas to connect with people inside and outside." The conference was held largely in one building, with lunch in another building nearby, which made it easy to engage people repeatedly. "Even if you don't know people, the fact that they're at JavaOne means they're interested in Java. So, you can go over to anyone and introduce yourself." One of Jeanne's favorite memories from a previous JavaOne was meeting Duke and seeing her book in the Java bookstore. Advice for Students When asked for advice for students learning computer science, Jeanne recommends learning the fundamentals while using AI to help. "Rather than using AI to write the code, have it give you practice questions or do code review or ideas of projects," she suggests. Students also often ask what professional developers do daily. Her answer provides a realistic picture of professional software development. "Every day is a little bit different, but most days include a mix of meetings, working with my coworkers, code reviews, writing code, now with AI," she says. Problem solving takes many forms, from performance questions like "Why is this slow?" to security concerns about making systems more secure. A significant part of her role involves understanding what users actually need. "A lot of the time users ask for what they think they want and not what they actually want," Jeanne says. Through user interviews, she works to understand what they are trying to accomplish, which often leads to better solutions than what they initially requested. "So not just building what you're told is a huge thing, especially as you become more senior in your career," she says. The goal is to make users productive and happy, not just to code. Technology keeps changing, and for Jeanne, that constant evolution makes the work fun. She has embraced AI tools as coding assistants, using them for pair programming, generating tests, and suggesting next steps. When her team piloted coding assistants, they focused on choosing a tool rather than waiting for the perfect tool. "The important thing is to get a tool and get people going and using it and being more productive," she says. The learning curve is not high, and the tools pay for themselves almost immediately. However, Jeanne says that it's important to understand what you are doing rather than using AI to replace that understanding. "It's about understanding what you're doing and not using the AI to replace it because at least with the coding assistance, it's right 90, 95% of the time," she says. She talked about an example of asking AI to generate a regular expression while pairing with a junior programmer. The AI started writing it properly but then made an error. "I noticed it right away because I know what correct is," she says. After giving it another prompt with a hint, it produced the correct result. Without knowing what correct looks like, developers cannot effectively verify and fix AI-generated code. The AI Hype Cycle Regarding concerns about AI making developers obsolete, Jeanne is pragmatic. "I've heard that enough times that I'm a little skeptical," she says, adding that this is the third or fourth time some technology has been predicted to take all the jobs. Instead, she sees AI as enabling developers to accomplish more and make users happier. She has a big backlog "that goes on forever." She says it would be great if we could get more of it done and in the hands of customers. "I think we're at that phase in the hype cycle for AI where people are talking about AI like it solves all your problems, [but] it solves some of your problems. But because there's less acknowledgement of the ones it doesn't solve, it's easier to have that skepticism." When asked if AI represents a paradigm shift or just the latest tool, she responds: "Right now, I think it's the latest tool, but I do think we're going to get to the point where we're programming at a higher level."

Il tuo servo andrà a combattere con questo Filisteo". Saul rispose a Davide: "Tu non puoi andare contro questo Filisteo a combattere con lui: tu sei un ragazzo e costui è uomo d'armi fin dalla sua adolescenza". Davide aggiunse: "Il Signore che mi ha liberato dalle unghie del leone e dalle unghie dell'orso, mi libererà anche dalle mani di questo Filisteo". Saul rispose a Davide: "Ebbene va' e il Signore sia con te".Davide prese in mano il suo bastone, si scelse cinque ciottoli lisci dal torrente e li pose nella sua sacca da pastore, nella bisaccia; prese ancora in mano la fionda e si avvicinò al Filisteo.Il Filisteo avanzava passo passo, avvicinandosi a Davide, mentre il suo scudiero lo precedeva. Il Filisteo scrutava Davide e, quando lo vide bene, ne ebbe disprezzo, perché era un ragazzo, fulvo di capelli e di bell'aspetto. Il Filisteo disse a Davide: "Sono io forse un cane, perché tu venga a me con un bastone?". E quel Filisteo maledisse Davide in nome dei suoi dèi. Poi il Filisteo disse a Davide: "Fatti avanti e darò le tue carni agli uccelli del cielo e alle bestie selvatiche".Davide rispose al Filisteo: "Tu vieni a me con la spada, con la lancia e con l'asta. Io vengo a te nel nome del Signore degli eserciti, Dio delle schiere d'Israele, che tu hai sfidato. In questo stesso giorno, il Signore ti farà cadere nelle mie mani. Io ti abbatterò e ti staccherò la testa e getterò i cadaveri dell'esercito filisteo agli uccelli del cielo e alle bestie selvatiche; tutta la terra saprà che vi è un Dio in Israele. Tutta questa moltitudine saprà che il Signore non salva per mezzo della spada o della lancia, perché del Signore è la guerra ed egli vi metterà certo nelle nostre mani".Appena il Filisteo si mosse avvicinandosi incontro a Davide, questi corse a prendere posizione in fretta contro il Filisteo. Davide cacciò la mano nella sacca, ne trasse una pietra, la lanciò con la fionda e colpì il Filisteo in fronte. La pietra s'infisse nella fronte di lui che cadde con la faccia a terra.Così Davide ebbe il sopravvento sul Filisteo con la fionda e con la pietra, colpì il Filisteo e l'uccise, benché Davide non avesse spada. Davide fece un salto e fu sopra il Filisteo, prese la sua spada, la sguainò e lo uccise, poi con quella gli tagliò la testa. I Filistei videro che il loro eroe era morto e si diedero alla fuga.Parola del Signore.

    As Dish Media's new head of programmatic partnerships, Kristinnsson is helping turn advanced TV into a single, addressable marketplace.  Episode TranscriptPlease note, this transcript  may contain minor inconsistencies compared to the episode audio.Damian Fowler (00:00):I'm Damian Fowler.Ilyse Liffreing (00:01):And I'm Ilyse Liffreing.Damian Fowler (00:02):And welcome to this edition of The Big Impression.Ilyse Liffreing (00:09):Today, we're joined by Liam Kristinnsson, head of programmatic partnerships at Dish Media, where he's helping shape how the company connects advertisers with premium audiences across both linear and digital environments.Damian Fowler (00:23):Dish has been pushing hard into the programmatic space. From Dish Connected, it's addressable solution across the ecosystem to Advantage, which links programmatic buying with linear inventory in real time. It's all part of a broader move to bring automation and accountability to advanced TV.Ilyse Liffreing (00:39):We'll talk with Liam about how Dish is tackling fragmentation, what premium really means in a mixed green world, and where the next phase of programmatic growth is headed.Damian Fowler (00:51):So let's get into it.Liam Kristinnsson (00:57):Dish Connected has really revolutionized our product in the marketplace. We've been able to convert an additional four million to five million households into tangible CTV devices across real-time bidding systems across the industry. And it's kind of given us a leg up against some of our more linear competition where we now have full autonomy over our inventory and can enable and provide transparency downstream to any client.Damian Fowler (01:28):That's amazing. I mean, there was a moment there where there was a sort of either all linear or CTV, but this is something that's kind of connecting thoseLiam Kristinnsson (01:38):Two worlds. I think this is the start of the convergence. I know it probably truly started post-pandemic, I would say, but the reality is now that what is perceived as underutilized impression-based audiences are now becoming tangible and kind of overlapping with their traditional legacy linear purchases. And there's much more value to it because we are not enabling people to find attribution in a more roundabout extrapolated way, but we can provide meaningful real time results to third party attribution vendors or measurement vendors.Damian Fowler (02:20):And that brings us to Advantage, which you introduced in May to Power Programmatic and Linear at the same time. Could you tell us a little bit more about that?Liam Kristinnsson (02:30):Yeah. So the beauty of Advantage is it really expands upon what we've already built for Programmatic in Disconnected, but it provides solutions across the whole suite of products we have. Our addressable business can tap into real-time kind of innovations, real-time optimizations against audiences, ensure that we are better delivering across the target audience and finding that incremental reach that in the past may have been next to impossible to verify. And now we have all that inventory in one place. It's kind of like a grocery store when I think the industry has become accustomed to going to a bodega. That's very New York with me, I understand. I like that. But sometimes bodegas have eggs, they have a deli, they might have milk, but they might not always have milk and seltzer and all the little things that you want on a day-to-day basis. And the reality is something lacking when it comes to you being able to actually fill your fridge.(03:35):Now we have all those components that the customer or the client is looking for.Damian Fowler (03:40):Yeah. I like that analogy.Ilyse Liffreing (03:41):It's a good one. Yeah, no, I like that. And now Liam, I'm curious about the advertisers you're working with. Is there a new segment of buyers that Programmatic is really opening the door to here? What is basically your sense of that cohort?Liam Kristinnsson (03:58):Yeah, I think it really has grown overnight programmatic in general, but I think it allows us to have expanded exposure across all clients that are looking for that more meaningful kind of results. I think we are seeing a lot of success in generating a lot of traction across the CPG world, the direct to consumer world. And I think we're finding a nice overlap from a category perspective of what we traditionally looked at as direct IO or addressable business, but maybe not all those brands or clients in maybe like a pharmaceutical vertical would tap or earmark dollars for commitments early in their planning phase. Now they have the liberty and the luxury to find that right audience and enable dollars downstream where we're just not hunting in that lane and now we can kind of, instead of spreading ourselves thin, the technology can enable us to really kind of tap into all those brands, whether it be the CPG or the pharmaceuticals.(05:05):Now on the CPG side, I would double down further. I think because in the linear world, traditionally there's a level of fragmentation when you were to buy linear and you're only getting a percentage of the marketplace. Now the transparency and data that we're passing downstream really changes that, right? Because now these CPG brands are looking to trade off their kind of gross rating points, but kind of understand, all right, am I serving a family that would buy my products? And now we're freeing up the inventory and making it available to those brands that maybe were not always keen on addressable or linear didn't provide enough eyeballs. We're compensating for that with the data we'reIlyse Liffreing (05:49):Providing. Do you have an example of a brand you're working with?Liam Kristinnsson (05:52):Yeah. So I mean, more specifically, even though that wasn't in some of the categories I called out, there was one or two major financial brands that we've been able to elevate our profile quite significantly with and then partner with them around some of their initiatives on the backend. And I think it kind of shows some of the flexibility that a publisher can now provide brands that I don't think they ever associated with a conglomerate or a media company like ourselves.Damian Fowler (06:23):On that point, there is a perception that the space is fragmented and that there's linear here and then there's streaming here. Do you think that that is changing that perception, maybe thanks to some of the work that you're doing?Liam Kristinnsson (06:36):I think that's a lot of our goal. I think that we are simplifying the process and enabling a household or a device level, right? And the device level tends to be at the unique user level and we have the ability to kind of triangulate that and make sure that we're providing good and strong data down to our partners. I think that as a marketplace holistically, I think the fragmentation has changed and I think a lot of that's around some consumer behavior that has changed or specifically around the way consumers are watching more free content or there's pockets where they're not required to provide a subscription. And I think that there's still a gap there and we do have some front porch access to our apps, but we are looking on our end to continue to develop and then enable through Advantage how we can kind of provide those, specifically those returning viewers, that clean look to the advertisers on the back end and really kind of leveraging deterministic data and first party signals to really define that audience more cleanly in some ways that competitors of ours maybe can't do.Ilyse Liffreing (07:53):Overall, how would you describe your measuring the success of these programmatic partnerships?Liam Kristinnsson (08:00):Yeah. So I think that that's a really unique place because that's something that has been our bread and butter. We have our own targeting and attribution team. They've worked very diligently on the direct IO side. I think a lot of the legacy information that they've been able to provide clients and the insights and the ways that we've been able to either cut our inventory or kind of group or the target audiences for these clients have helped demonstrate the programmatic partners the value in not just our audience, which I think is somewhat being underserved because Dish tends to be middle America and maybe they have less apps or maybe they leverage less apps. So they have been underserved. We have a legacy of success around specific verticals and we're able to kind of provide that to these brands. I think the challenge is it's a little bit of a black hole sometimes of how they tie it back to each other.(08:56):And I think there needs to be a little bit more assistance on our end. And by us, I mean the royal we across the industry of like providing some of those insights that I kind of alluded to earlier, whether it's, are we targeting and talking about unique users? Are we looking at success at a household level? And there is some innovation that's required there in the industry, but I think what we're doing is really at the forefront of enabling that.Ilyse Liffreing (09:23):Are there any particular channels that have surprised you in terms of performance or even advertiser adoption?Liam Kristinnsson (09:31):Sure. I mean, I think I imagine everybody talks about the success of sports. Sports has been a real catalyst to the boon of CTV enablement in general, but I think that I'd be remiss not to call out that a lot of our entertainment brands have shined, but not in the ways that traditionally they've been leveraged, right? Even though certain pockets of inventory is not super desirable in the marketplace at times, like news, there are a ton of clients that we've seen a lot of traction there and like pick up incremental success and really drive reach by anonymizing the content that they buy and focusing on the audience.Damian Fowler (10:20):That's interesting. Is there still some resistance to the idea of being around current affairs and news?Liam Kristinnsson (10:26):Yeah. I think I myself came from the website world years ago and I saw firsthand when a certain brand would be next to a certain type of content. And I understand the urgent need to not expose a valuable legacy luxury brand to something that may or may not be bad, right? Yeah. But the reality is often there is a disconnect from the content being consumed and the pod of commercials that's watched, right? Yeah. And while we often, and I'm sure we ... My mother certainly will watch news for hours and hours upon day, which is maybe not healthy for her lifestyle, but I think what's great about it, specifically when she goes to sit down, she is glued in to the TV. And that's something I think that a lot of people are trying to figure out, are people watching? Are they tuned in? Are they walking away?(11:30):And that's the black box of advertising, but I know that people that watch news are glued into the TV and consuming the content between segments. It's kind of like sports, right? Yeah.Damian Fowler (11:43):I think that's true. And I think that's true across all channels as far as I know people reading digital news as well, but I don't want to go off on a massive digression about news, but anyway. But it is fantastic. Can we pull back and look at the big picture a little bit? And we were wondering if there were any precedents or points of inspiration inside or outside of media that inform how you think about programmatic partnerships at Dish?Liam Kristinnsson (12:10):Sure. I mean, I think that back to what I was saying about evolution, I think often in the media industry, we look at things like baseball teams are run today. Not to use a sports analogy. I know you guys are probably sick of them, but- We love sports analogies here. Nelly said the trade death.(12:32):But the reality is these days people want home run hitters. And I think back in the day, that's a little bit of a cyclical history. People always want home run hitters and like big stats, but you win championships with diversity. And I think what partnerships means today is not what it maybe meant 12 or 13 years ago. I think there's a ... We're becoming a world where people, we're all playing Tetris and there's a way to make it all fit together if we cooperate and enable each other. So it's not one size fit all fits all. I think there's a lot of small partnerships and that's good for the competition of the industry and it doesn't take away from the value of these big partnerships. And I think I don't think in my time in TV there's ever been more opportunity there than there is today.Ilyse Liffreing (13:28):Something we often write about at the current is the value of like premium content versus maybe like user generated. For instance, what would you say is the importance of premium and I guess what kind of premium content is most popular? I mean, you brought up sports, but are there any others?Liam Kristinnsson (13:50):Yeah. I mean, I think premium content, I'm sure many people discuss across the course of ad week or just in the industry and in general, how valuable, unique and what's deemed as traditionally primetime TV is. But the reality is it's even more valuable than that because you are in a lot of ways demanding an eclectic audience to watch your spectrum of content and you can't always guarantee that in other places. There is also, sure there's some oversaturation for specific channels and maybe the product that they air, but the reality is it is not what everybody is consuming these days, right? It's Halloween. Everybody can find a bunch of great horror movies or Halloween's coming up, I should say. Everybody could find a bunch of great horror movies across the board, can't always guarantee what is in that content, how glued in they are versus just kind of like, "Oh, it's in season." I think with premium content, specifically around live TV, there's 365 days a year of people competing against each other from a content perspective, but it demands eyeballs.(15:07):And I think we're also starting to see a surprising jump in the youth getting app fatigue, I suppose, that is better enabling that premium content to ensure eyeballs there, but they're paying attention and I cannot stress that enough. In a world of a short attention span, they want to know what's going on and they consumeDamian Fowler (15:28):It. I would almost say it's short form content fatigue to a certain extent. There's something nice about a long form, a game,Liam Kristinnsson (15:41):ADamian Fowler (15:41):Football game,Liam Kristinnsson (15:42):A soccer game, or a movie. To that point, right? I was probably part of the problem with TV from a consumer point of view. I became like a cinephile which didn't help a company's ability to monetize myself, but the more meshed I get into the industry and the more, I don't know, popular I get, the less time I have to go find a film, right? The more time I have to maybe watch a drama about women in New York and I will watch the rerun that I just saw the week before at eight o'clock in anticipation of what's going to happen at nine o'clock, but really because I want to see the reunion or the interview at 10 o'clock, right? So now I'm consuming the same content twice, but I'm even more engaged in the live TV and there's something afterwards that is actually, maybe taped, but it feels live, right?(16:37):Yeah.Damian Fowler (16:37):And that's the proposition that Dish is getting into. I'd want to ask you, how's Dish Media building on the momentum that you've already created?Liam Kristinnsson (16:45):Yeah, I think right now it's what more can we do and how can we keep providing and enabling inventory for the right providers? I think that the assumption in the marketplace for any new product that comes out is, wow, this is it, it's here. 100% of it's enabled. That's never the case, right? It takes a year to ramp up typically for the average product, sometimes as much as three for us. We've been hitting the gas and I think now we're about to go from fifth to sixth speed and really kind of enable our inventory holistically to the marketplace. So for us, it's a little bit of crawl, walk, run from an enablement perspective and with that comes even greater insights into what are they consuming, what's the audience? How do we help define and clean up that audience downstream and then let others maybe do what they do best.(17:45):But we are really in a great position to keep kind of growing that and exposing net new insights about users that I'm not sure everybody's contemplating.Damian Fowler (17:56):Yeah, I'm sure.Ilyse Liffreing (17:57):Very cool. I have a question here about the economy and as you know, and everybody does, it's on kind of shaky ground, you don't know. How do you see spend evolving in the programmatic space at this time?Liam Kristinnsson (18:16):Well, I'm glad you asked that. I think there is marketplace concerns about what is happening on the demand side and a lot of them are valid. A lot of them are maybe being overthought perhaps, but I think there's some rocky roads ahead for specific industries, but it presents a unique opportunity. And I think from a publisher perspective, maintaining the value of inventory and the premium content that they have is absolutely a must because we are going to continue to provide insights and improve products that ultimately will provide better outcomes for backend users. If we kind of enable knee-jerk reactive spend, I think that actually goes against the grain of supply path optimization and increasing outcomes holistically under the guise of potentially lower rates or what have you. But I truly believe that if one category is down, another needs to go up. And I think advertising is like a mutual fund like that where I have lived in Europe in the past and there's a phrase in Scandinavia that like, no matter what happens to our small economy, people will advertise beer because somebody will buy it, right?(19:46):And I think that's much more universal than just in a few select small countries. And I think in a lot of ways we saw that in the pandemic, right? Direct to consumer brands, a lot more variety of entertainment companies or hardware products or TVs were able to kind of put their best foot forward and give the consumer options, right? And I think it's some of their responsibility to provide those options. What we, the publishers can do is enable and ensure they're getting the right results for the content and fitting them in the content or audiences that they really can get the best out of them, right?Damian Fowler (20:28):Absolutely. Okay. We're going to bring this home now with some quick fire questions, right? And here's the first one. What are you obsessed with figuring out right now?Liam Kristinnsson (20:38):Well, this might be a little divisive, but I am obsessed with continuing to improve supply path optimization, but I believe that comes with the slow sunsetting of linear. When I got to Dish, we were still primarily, while our bread and butter was addressable, we were still primarily from a percentage basis, linear, right? Since then, we've completely flipped the script. We are by far and away, mostly impression based. And the reality is I think that we are leveraging too many legacy tools to tell and provide stories on outcomes that are not always as accurate as they should be. We live in a world where transparency is key, maybe not full transparency all the time, but enough transparency where I, the client or brand should be getting a return on our investment or understanding why the audience or the content I was targeting is not working for me.(21:42):And I think that's, those are the pockets we need to start exploring and understanding, not so much the, how do I understand foot traffic on a day-to-day basis, but not convert that to sales when I'm extrapolating out 32 families, right? So that's really, really what I think needs to happen. And I think there's a lot of work to be done there and it's not going to happen overnight, but it starts here and starts with an advantage really.Ilyse Liffreing (22:06):Wow. And why do you think that the slow death of linear, as you said, has to happen for that?Liam Kristinnsson (22:15):I shouldn't say it has to happen. I think there is a time and a place for it, right? I think if I'm going to a bodega and I think I want a soft drink, that's their goal is to make sure that the first thing I think of is whatever the product is, but I think that time and a place is actually creating a lot of noise downstream and creating a lot of challenges for folks on the attribution and measurement side to actually understand and holistically look at their media purchases. And I think it's okay to have gross in terms of volume, ways of looking at how media should be purchased and leveraged, but I believe nine out of 10 clients really, they deserve the insights and the understanding of who is buying their products and how we can figure out how to kind of tie that together and improve into the next year.(23:10):That's how their products are going to build, especially with some of this like in certain categories. There's maybe too many brands or too little, right? Better data will inform beyond individual clients, but it'll enable people to start unique businesses that can compete in an area where there's clearly a lot of eager consumers,(23:35):Right?Ilyse Liffreing (23:36):Very cool. What's one piece of wisdom you'd pass on to other media leaders navigating the shift to programmatic?Liam Kristinnsson (23:43):Yeah. So I hate to say the same thing twice, but if I were to give one piece of wisdom is value your inventory that is going to be the future of your business and there are ways that you can improve your product and enable and improve a third party client or vendor's product, but racing to the bottom for what is happening tomorrow will not enable you next year. And it's a real concern in the marketplace, but my concern is actually twofold that it doesn't actually just hurt publishers, but it ends up ultimately hurting the brands and the people buying the inventory because they are going to receive exponentially more noise, right? And I think that as an industry with a lot of noise, we should really think about like how we can kind of isolate it into, and harness it into, into actual meaningful outcomes.Damian Fowler (24:48):If you could pick one brand that's really nailing programmatic right now, who would it be?Liam Kristinnsson (24:53):Without explicitly calling out a unique brand, but I'll give you two types of folks that are really nailing programmatic. One, I think is second tier auto brands where they are unlocking, and I really think Disconnected plays a great role here. They are unlocking and understanding how they can better access inventory for the right audiences, period. That could be isolating and understanding how I could serve ads from a reach perspective across the city of Des Moines, or it can be somebody looking for blonde-haired men that have two boxer dogs. Secondly, and I think this is part of the paradigm shift across the industry. I think there's quite a number of CPG brands that legacy-wise have really had outstanding success reaching mass eyeballs, whether it's through billboards, radio, traditional linear television. But now again, like they are able to fill a void across the whole ecosystem by getting better, more dynamic insights into the audiences that they're selling to, but also they're actually getting insights, period.(26:13):Retail data, you're talking about? Retail data, yes. And I think if I'm a chip brand, sometimes I want people to know my name first. And that's great. There's a need for that, but eventually you have to start focusing on how you can get money back from that. It's not just about getting your name out there, or it could be diversified. Maybe your name is out there, but now other names have come in, right? Now, how do you leverage the dynamic component of programmatic to diversify your creative and your ability to deliver to the same audience? It'll change the way we think and look at maybe traditional frequency capping or traditional exposure, but now the brand through Programmatic can really lead the new age of creative storytelling and how people understand or change the way people think they know products.Damian Fowler (27:13):And that's it for this edition of The Big Impression.Ilyse Liffreing (27:15):This show is produced by Molten Heart.

    The Space Show Presents Guy Schumann, CEO of RSS-Hydro, Tuesday 1-13-26Quick summaryThis program focused on discussing Guy Schumann's transition from academia to founding RSS-Hydro, a company specializing in disaster response and monitoring services using space technology. The discussion covered RSS-Hydro's capabilities in fire and flood monitoring, their business model flexibility, and Guy's academic background in hydrology. The conversation concluded with discussions about the regulatory environment in Luxembourg, the company's future plans including potential AI integration and expansion into new markets, and the broader implications of space technology for disaster management and public awareness.Detailed summaryOur guest, Guy Schumann, discussed his company RSS-Hydro, which provides disaster response and monitoring services using space technology. He explained that while the company is known for flood monitoring, they also offer fire monitoring services due to the ease of detecting fires and heat from space. Guy emphasized that RSS-Hydro is not primarily focused on prevention, but rather on providing rapid insights and assistance during disasters. He also described the company's flexible business model, which allows for both subscription-based and on-demand services, particularly for governments and municipalities with limited budgets.Guy discussed his academic background, transitioning from a professorship at Bristol University to post-doctoral positions at Caltech, JPL, and UCLA, where he was hosted by JPL. He shared his experience working on research projects related to hydrology, focusing on floods, rainstorms, and drought systems. Guy explained how he moved into the private sector in the US, collaborating with companies like Remote Sensing Solutions and Tomorrow.I/O. He mentioned starting his own company, RSS-Hydro in Luxembourg, during the COVID-19 pandemic, while maintaining connections with US research projects through ImageCat. Guy acknowledged the challenges of transitioning from academia to entrepreneurship, noting his lack of business experience compared to his expertise in hydrology.Guy discussed his experience with California's severe drought during his 7-year residence there, highlighting the challenges of managing water resources in the face of climate variability. He explained that his company focuses on providing rapid response and first insights during disasters, using space-born data to offer affordable and comprehensive flood mapping and fire monitoring services globally.Guy explained that fires are easier to monitor from space compared to flooding, and described their data sources, which include public missions from NASA and ESA, as well as partnerships with private satellite operators. He mentioned owning an in-space computer with sensors and the ability to process data from other satellites. Guy also discussed their collaboration with tech companies like Nvidia, Google, and Microsoft to improve data visualization and forecasting tools. David inquired about the future of forecasting and preventing disasters, to which Guy responded that they are developing and refining forecasting models, aiming to commercialize them for easier interpretation of complex data. David concluded by asking about the regulatory environment for private space businesses in Luxembourg, to which Guy did not provide a direct answer.Guy was asked to discuss the business environment in Luxembourg, noting its regulatory challenges compared to the US but highlighting its favorable taxation and government support for space industry startups through accelerator programs. He mentioned that Luxembourg's space agency focuses on business and economic returns rather than research, making it easier for startups to enter the space industry. Guy also explained that Luxembourg has space-based solutions for monitoring soil moisture and predicting floods, with applications like Hydrosense that incorporate rainfall, soil parameters, and vegetation changes.Guy further explained that his company can monitor vegetation and soil moisture through satellite data, which is useful for hydrological applications and fire risk assessment. He noted that while they can measure vegetation indices and assess fire fuel availability, they haven't been specifically requested for this purpose by fire monitoring teams. Guy also mentioned they are currently developing a fire spreading mechanism for their applications. David then posed a hypothetical scenario involving Mayor Bass of L.A. and Governor Newsom seeking a comprehensive space-based solution to manage California's fire and drought risks, to which Guy responded that they could develop a multi-step plan incorporating vegetation monitoring, fire risk assessment, and predictive modeling, but would need to work closely with local experts to tailor the solution to specific needs. He also talked about the importance of key consortium building.Guy discussed the challenges of addressing large-scale infrastructure problems in cities, such as stormwater management, and proposed forming a consortium of companies to develop comprehensive solutions. He emphasized the importance of building partnerships with tech companies and leveraging expertise from various sectors. Guy also highlighted the difficulty of securing political support and budget allocation for such projects, noting that maintaining long-term commitment from city officials can be challenging.David and Guy discussed the current state and future of space technology, emphasizing that while the technology is advanced, there is a need to integrate it affordably and collaboratively. Guy highlighted the importance of democratizing space infrastructure and moving away from high-cost, limited-access models to make space data more accessible and useful for everyday insights. David raised concerns about public understanding of space capabilities, noting that many people, including policymakers, lack basic knowledge about space's role in disaster management and environmental monitoring. Guy agreed, explaining that satellites are crucial for weather forecasting and other Earth observations, and their data significantly improve predictive models. Both emphasized the need for better public awareness and political pressure to leverage space technology for broader societal benefits.Guy took us through the RSS-Hydro's current status and potential future as an AI-driven disaster response company. He explained they are not publicly traded but open to private investment, though they prioritize finding the right investors who align with their mission. Guy and David also discussed the role of AI in their operations, with Guy emphasizing its benefits but also the need for expertise when using AI tools. Marshall raised a question about the balance between real and artificial intelligence, which Guy addressed by highlighting both the potential of AI and the importance of human expertise in its application. David concluded by asking about RSS-Hydro's 5- and 10-year plans. Be sure to listen to it and do post comments on the response on our comment blog and systems.Guy discussed the company's growth trajectory, expressing confidence in doubling revenue annually and potentially exploring public offerings in 5-10 years. He emphasized the importance of maintaining the company's mission of rapid disaster response while expanding its impact. David explored the possibility of utilizing the company's assets for lunar imaging and settlement development, to which Guy responded positively, noting their experience with modeling floods on Mars. They also discussed the company's current focus on disaster response and its potential foray into insurance and proactive risk management. Guy highlighted their work with various clients, including cities and NGOs, and mentioned their participation in upcoming events like the Stormwater Show in Anaheim.This summary is available in full at www.thespaceshow.com and doctorspace.substack.com.Special thanks to our sponsors:American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223 (Not in service at this time)For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.com for instructions and access.The Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

    🧭 REBEL Rundown 🗝️ Key Points 💨 NIV = Support without a tube: CPAP, BiPAP, and HFNC improve oxygenation and reduce the work of breathing.🫁 CPAP = Continuous pressure: Best for hypoxemic patients (e.g., pulmonary edema, OSA).️ BiPAP = Two pressures (IPAP/EPAP): Great for hypercapnic failure (e.g., COPD, obesity hypoventilation).🌬️ HFNC = Heated, humidified high flow: Reduces effort, improves comfort, and enhances oxygen delivery.🩺 Supportive, not definitive: NIV stabilizes patients while the underlying cause is treated. Click here for Direct Download of the Podcast. 📝 Introduction Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) refers to respiratory support provided without endotracheal intubation. The most common modalities include continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP), and high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC). These therapies aim to improve oxygenation, reduce the work of breathing, and potentially prevent invasive mechanical ventilation. 💨 CPAP and BiPAP CPAP delivers a single, continuous pressure during inspiration and expiration. This pressure (commonly 5–10 cm H₂O) helps recruit atelectatic alveoli, reduce shunt, and improve oxygenation. It is commonly used for conditions like pulmonary edema, obstructive sleep apnea, or mild hypoxemia without significant ventilatory failure.BiPAP alternates between two pressures:Inspiratory positive airway pressure (IPAP), augments tidal volume and unloads inspiratory muscles.Expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP), maintains alveolar recruitment and improves oxygenation.The differential between IPAP and EPAP is critical for reducing hypercapnia in patients with COPD exacerbations or acute hypercapnic respiratory failure.IndicationsCPAP: hypoxemia without major ventilatory failure (e.g., cardiogenic pulmonary edema, atelectasis, OSA).BiPAP: hypercapnia with increased work of breathing (e.g., COPD exacerbation, neuromuscular weakness, obesity hypoventilation).A helpful way to conceptualize CPAP and BiPAP is through the hairdryer analogy. Imagine placing a hairdryer in your mouth: 🩺 Clinical Considerations Masks can be uncomfortable, impair secretion clearance, and limit oral intake.Some patients require sedation to tolerate NIV, but this carries risks in patients with unprotected airways.NIV is thus a high-stakes intervention requiring close monitoring.Common starting dose to understand titration, but start at the level appropriate for your patient:  IPAP 10 cm H₂O / EPAP 5 cm H₂O (“10/5”) and are titrated:Increase IPAP to improve tidal volume and CO₂ clearance.Increase EPAP to recruit alveoli and improve oxygenation.Both may be raised simultaneously if the patient is both hypoxemic and hypercapnic. 🚀 High-Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) H: Heated & humidified – improves mucociliary clearance, prevents airway drying, and enhances tolerance. I: Inspiratory flow – high flow meets or exceeds patient demand, reducing respiratory rate and effort.F: Functional residual capacity – modest generation of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), promoting alveolar recruitment.L: Lighter – generally more comfortable and less restrictive than mask-based NIV.O: Oxygen dilution – minimizes entrainment of room air, delivering higher and more predictable FiO₂.W: Washout – flushes anatomical dead space, reducing CO₂ rebreathing.HFNC delivers heated, humidified oxygen at high flow rates (30–60 L/min) through wide-bore nasal prongs. A mnemonic, H-I-F-L-O-W, helps summarize its mechanisms:Indications: Traditionally used for acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (e.g., pneumonia), HFNC is increasingly studied for hypercapnic failure as well, with trials suggesting non-inferiority to BiPAP in select populations.

    In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Peter Schmidt Nielsen, who is building FPGA-accelerated servers at Saturn Data. The conversation explores why servers need FPGAs, how these field-programmable gate arrays work as "IO expanders" for massive memory bandwidth, and why they're particularly well-suited for vector database and search applications. Peter breaks down the technical realities of FPGAs - including why they "really suck" in many ways compared to GPUs and CPUs - while explaining how his company is leveraging them to provide terabyte-per-second bandwidth to 1.3 petabytes of flash storage.

A $100,000 high-end FPGA might only match the memory bandwidth of a $600 gaming GPU. They're only valuable for specific niches like ultra-low latency applications or scenarios requiring massive parallel I/O operations, making them unsuitable for most computational workloads where CPUs and GPUs excel.2. The real value of FPGAs lies in I/O expansion, not computation - Rather than using FPGAs for their processing power, Saturn Data leverages them primarily as cost-effective ways to access massive amounts of DRAM controllers and NVMe interfaces. Their server design puts 200 FPGAs in a 2U enclosure with 1.3 petabytes of flash storage and terabyte-per-second read bandwidth, essentially using FPGAs as sophisticated I/O expanders.3. Access patterns determine hardware performance more than raw specs - The way applications access data fundamentally determines whether specialized hardware will provide benefits. Applications that do sparse reads across massive datasets (like vector databases) benefit from Saturn Data's architecture, while those requiring dense computation or frequent inter-node communication are better served by traditional hardware. Understanding these patterns is crucial for matching workloads to appropriate hardware.4. Distributed systems complexity stems from failure tolerance requirements - The difficulty of distributed systems isn't inherent but depends on what failures you need to tolerate. Simple approaches that restart on any failure are easy but unreliable, while Byzantine fault tolerance (like Bitcoin) is extremely complex. Most practical systems, including banks, find middle ground by accepting occasional unavailability rather than trying to achieve perfect consistency, availability, and partition tolerance simultaneously.5. Hardware specialization follows predictable cycles of generalization and re-specialization - Computing hardware consistently follows "Makimoto's Wave" - specialized hardware becomes more general over time, then gets leapfrogged by new specialized solutions. CPUs became general-purpose, GPUs evolved from fixed graphics pipelines to programmable compute, and now companies like Etched are creating transformer-specific ASICs. This cycle repeats as each generation adds programmability until someone strips it away for performance gains.6. Memory bottlenecks are reshaping the hardware landscape - The AI boom has created severe memory shortages, doubling costs for DRAM components overnight. This affects not just GPU availability but creates opportunities for alternative architectures. When everyone faces higher memory costs, the relative premium for specialized solutions like FPGA-based systems becomes more attractive, potentially shifting the competitive landscape for memory-intensive applications.7. Search applications represent ideal FPGA use cases due to their sparse access patterns - Vector databases and search workloads are particularly well-suited to FPGA acceleration because they involve searching through massive datasets with sparse access patterns rather than dense computation. These applications can effectively utilize the high bandwidth to flash storage and parallel I/O capabilities that FPGAs provide, making them natural early adopters for this type of specialized hardware architecture.

    Moiz Kohari, VP of Enterprise AI and Data Intelligence at DDN, breaks down what it actually takes to get AI into production and keep it there. If your org is stuck in pilot mode, this conversation will help you spot the real blockers, from trust and hallucinations to data architecture and GPU bottlenecks.Key takeaways• GenAI success in the enterprise is less about the demo and more about trust, accuracy, and knowing when the system should say “I don't know.”• “Operationalizing” usually fails at the handoff, when humans stay permanently in the loop and the business never captures the full benefit.• Data architecture is the multiplier. If your data is siloed, slow, or hard to access safely, your AI roadmap stalls, no matter how good your models are.• GPU spend is only worth it if your pipelines can feed the GPUs fast enough. A lot of teams are IO bound, so utilization stays low and budgets get burned.• The real win is better decisions, faster. Moving from end of day batch thinking to intraday intelligence can change risk, margin, and response time in major ways.Timestamped highlights00:35 What DDN does, and why data velocity matters when GPUs are the pricey line item02:12 AI vs GenAI in the enterprise, and why “taking the human out” is where value shows up08:43 Hallucinations, trust, and why “always answering” creates real production risk12:00 What teams do with the speed gains, and why faster delivery shifts you toward harder problems12:58 From hours to minutes, how GPU acceleration changes intraday risk and decision making in finance20:16 Data architecture choices, POSIX vs object storage, and why your IO layer can make or break AI readinessA line worth stealing“Speed is great, but trust is the frontier. If your system can't admit what it doesn't know, production is where the project stops.”Pro tips you can apply this week• Pick one workflow where the output can be checked quickly, then design the path from pilot to production up front, including who approves what and how exceptions get handled.• Audit your bottleneck before you buy more compute. If your GPUs are waiting on data, fix storage, networking, and pipeline throughput first.• Build “confidence behavior” into the system.

    Stai imparando l'italiano e vuoi evitare di dire cose come "Io è fame" quando hai lo stomaco che brontola? Sei nel posto giusto! Questo test ti farà scoprire se riesci già a ordinare un caffè senza far alzare un sopracciglio al barista, o se rischi ancora di creare situazioni imbarazzanti. Spoiler: Alcune frasi sono corrette, altre... beh, meglio non dirle in giro! Trova tutti gli errori! I Verbi Italiani dal Livello Principiante al Livello Avanzato Come funziona? Per ogni frase, fermati un attimo e chiediti: "È corretta o no?", quindi scopri il tuo livello! Il tuo risultato: 0-6 punti: Principiante avventuroso - meglio ordinare al ristorante col dito sul menù! 7-14 punti: Intermedio promettente - inizi a capirci qualcosa, continua così! 15-20 punti: Avanzato impressionante - gli italiani ti scambiano per uno di loro! LIVELLO 1: SOPRAVVIVENZA IN ITALIA Esercizio 1 "Scusi, io è vegetariano. Nel menù c'è qualcosa senza carne?" ... AIUTO! ERRORE CRITICO! Cosa C'è Che Non Va? Al ristorante hai appena detto "io è vegetariano"... Il cameriere ti guarda perplesso! Il verbo "essere" alla prima persona singolare è "sono", non "è". Quella forma si usa per lui/lei. VERSIONE CORRETTA: "Scusi, io sono vegetariano. Nel menù c'è qualcosa senza carne?" Trucco: Pensa "io SONO / tu SEI / lui È" Esercizio 2 "Ragazzi, ieri sera la pizza da Gino mi ha piaciuto moltissimo!" ... ERRORE DOPPIO! ATTENZIONE! Cosa è andato storto? Qui ci sono ben due errori! Il verbo "piacere" al passato prossimo vuole sempre l'ausiliare ESSERE, NON "avere". Il participio passato deve accordarsi con il soggetto grammaticale (la pizza = femminile singolare), quindi "piaciuta" non "piaciuto". VERSIONE CORRETTA: "Ragazzi, ieri sera la pizza da Gino mi è piaciuta moltissimo!" La formula per "piacere": ESSERE (coniugato) + PIACIUTO/A/I/E (accordato con la cosa che piace) Altri esempi corretti: Il film mi è piaciuto La canzone ti è piaciuta? I dolci ci sono piaciuti Le foto vi sono piaciute Esercizio 3 "Ciao Marco! Tu sei andare alla festa di Lucia sabato scorso?" ... ATTENZIONE! ALLARME ROSSO! Cosa È Andato Storto? Hai praticamente detto "tu sei andare" invece di "sei andato"! Con il passato prossimo, dopo l'ausiliare (essere/avere) ci vuole il participio passato, non l'infinito."Andare" diventa "andato/a". VERSIONE CORRETTA: "Ciao Marco! Tu sei andato alla festa di Lucia sabato scorso?" Attenzione: Con "andare" usiamo sempre l'ausiliare ESSERE! Esercizio 4 "La mia famiglia abita a Milano da dieci anni e ci troviamo benissimo!" ... BRAVISSIMO! ITALIANO AL TOP! Cosa Rende Questa Frase Perfetta? Hai centrato la struttura italiana per azioni che durano ancora!Quando qualcosa è iniziato nel passato e continua ora, usiamo il presente (abita) + "da" + tempo. Ricorda: "Da dieci anni" = l'azione continua ancora adesso! Esercizio 5 "Guarda quelle ragazze! Loro mangia il gelato davanti alla Fontana di Trevi." ... ERRORE DA PRINCIPIANTE! Dove Hai Sbagliato? "Loro mangia"? No no no! "Loro" è plurale, quindi il verbo deve essere "mangiano". "Mangia" lo usi solo per lui/lei (terza persona singolare). VERSIONE CORRETTA: "Guarda quelle ragazze! Loro mangiano il gelato davanti alla Fontana di Trevi." Bonus: In Italia è più comune dire "prendere un gelato", non "mangiare". Esercizio 6 "Stamattina io è comprato i biglietti per il concerto dei Måneskin!" ... DOPPIO ERRORE! CIOÈ? Due Problemi da Risolvere: 1) Hai detto "io è" invece di "io ho". 2) "Comprare" vuole l'ausiliare AVERE, non "essere"! VERSIONE CORRETTA: "Stamattina io ho comprato i biglietti per il concerto dei Måneskin!" Regola d'oro: I verbi che indicano un'azione (comprare, mangiare, bere, studiare) vanno quasi sempre con AVERE! Esercizio 7 "Wow! Francesca canta come un angelo ieri al karaoke!" ... CONFUSIONE TEMPORALE! Qual È il Problema? Hai usato il presente "canta" ma poi hai detto "ieri"! Quando parli di ieri, devi usare il passato prossimo: "ha cantato". Il presente serve per cose abituali o che succedono ora. VERSIONE CORRETTA: "Wow! Francesca ha cantato come un angelo ieri al karaoke!" LIVELLO 2: TI STAI INTEGRANDO BENE! Esercizio 8 "A te interessi i film italiani? A me sì, molto!" ... ERRORE SUBDOLO! Cosa C'è Che Non Va? Verbi come "interessare", "piacere", "mancare", "servire" hanno una costruzione particolare in italiano! Il soggetto grammaticale NON è la persona, ma la cosa che piace o interessa. Nella frase "a te interessi" hai coniugato il verbo come se "tu" fosse il soggetto, ma in realtà il soggetto sono "i film" (plurale). VERSIONE CORRETTA: "A te interessano i film italiani? A me sì, molto!" La struttura corretta: Ti interessa la musica? Vi interessano i libri di storia? Regola d'oro: Con questi verbi, coniuga il verbo in base alla cosa che piace/interessa, non alla persona! Esercizio 9 "Eh, se io avrei più soldi, farei un viaggio in Costiera Amalfitana!" ... L'ERRORE PIÙ COMUNE ANCHE TRA GLI STUDENTI AVANZATI! Il Tranello del "SE": Mai, MAI usare il condizionale dopo "se"! È tentante perché in molte lingue si fa, ma in italiano è un errore grave. Dopo "se" ci vuole il CONGIUNTIVO IMPERFETTO, POI il condizionale. VERSIONE CORRETTA: "Eh, se io avessi più soldi, farei un viaggio in Costiera Amalfitana!" VIETATO: Se + condizionaleCORRETTO: Se + congiuntivo Esercizio 10 "Stavo studiando i verbi irregolari quando improvvisamente mi ha chiamato la mia amica italiana per fare aperitivo." ... ECCELLENTE! MAESTRIA TEMPORALE! Cosa Hai Fatto di Giusto? Hai combinato perfettamente due azioni passate: Imperfetto "stavo studiando" = azione in corso, lo sfondo della scena Passato prossimo "ha chiamato" = azione improvvisa che interrompe In Sintesi: l'imperfetto è la scena, il passato prossimo è l'evento che accade! Esercizio 11 "Oh no! Siamo partiti la valigia in hotel e ora siamo già in aeroporto!" ... COSTRUZIONE IMPOSSIBILE! Dove Sta l'Assurdità? "Partire la valigia"? Il verbo "partire" significa andare via, non lasciare qualcosa! Se vuoi dire che hai dimenticato la valigia, devi usare "lasciare" o "dimenticare" (che vogliono AVERE come ausiliare). VERSIONE CORRETTA: "Oh no! Abbiamo lasciato la valigia in hotel e ora siamo già in aeroporto!" Esercizio 12 "Hai visto le chiavi della macchina? Sì, le ho visto sul tavolo stamattina." ... ERRORE NASCOSTO! SCOPRIAMOLO! Perché È Sbagliato (Anche Se Suona Bene)? Questo è un tranello per studenti avanzati! Quando usiamo i pronomi diretti (lo, la, li, le) prima del verbo al passato prossimo, il participio passato si accorda con il pronome. "Le" si riferisce alle chiavi (femminile plurale), quindi il participio deve essere "viste". VERSIONE CORRETTA: "Hai visto le chiavi della macchina? Sì, le ho viste sul tavolo stamattina." Confronta: "Ho visto le chiavi" (nessun accordo senza pronome) "Le ho viste" (accordo con il pronome "le") "L'ho vista" (la = singolare femminile) "Li ho visti" (li = plurale maschile) Esercizio 13 "Per passare l'esame di italiano, è necessario che tu fai tanti esercizi di grammatica." ... CONGIUNTIVO MANCANTE! Cosa Manca? Dopo espressioni come "è necessario che", "è importante che", "bisogna che", DEVI usare il congiuntivo, NON l'indicativo! È una regola ferrea in italiano. VERSIONE CORRETTA: "Per passare l'esame di italiano, è necessario che tu faccia tanti esercizi di grammatica." Trigger words del congiuntivo: "È necessario/importante/giusto/possibile che..." Esercizio 14 "È sicuro che il prossimo weekend fa bel tempo e noi andremo al mare!" ... PERFETTO! SICUREZZA GRAMMATICALE! Perché È Giusto NON Usare il Congiuntivo? Ottima domanda! Quando esprimi certezza assoluta ("è sicuro che/so che/è chiaro che..."), devi usare l'indicativo.Il congiuntivo serve per dubbi, speranze, opinioni. Qui sei sicuro! Probabilmente hai visto le previsioni. La regola d'oro: CERTEZZA → Indicativo DUBBIO → Congiuntivo LIVELLO 3: SEI QUASI ITALIANO! Esercizio 15 "Pensavo che Luca fosse già arrivato alla stazione, ma poi ho scoperto che era in ritardo come sempre!" ... INCREDIBILE! CONCORDANZA DEI TEMPI PERFETTA! Cosa Hai Fatto di Straordinario? Hai usato il congiuntivo trapassato ("fosse arrivato") dopo un verbo al passato ("pensavo"). Questa è concordanza dei tempi da professionista!Il congiuntivo trapassato esprime un'azione che credevi fosse accaduta prima. Timeline mentale: Prima: Luca arriva (pensavi) Dopo: Tu pensi Realtà: Era in ritardo Formula avanzata: Pensavo/credevo/immaginavo + che + congiuntivo trapassato Esercizio 16 "Benché lui ha studiato il congiuntivo per settimane, continua a fare errori!" ... L'IRONIA! ERRORE SUL CONGIUNTIVO! Dov'è l'Ironia? Stai parlando del congiuntivo ma... hai dimenticato di usarlo! "Benché" è una congiunzione che richiede SEMPRE il congiuntivo. In questo caso, congiuntivo passato perché l'azione di studiare è terminata. VERSIONE CORRETTA: "Benché lui abbia studiato il congiuntivo per settimane, continua a fare errori!" Parole-spia del congiuntivo: "benché, sebbene, nonostante, affinché, prima che..." Esercizio 17 "Se avessi accettato quel lavoro a Roma tre anni fa, ora vivrei nella Città Eterna!" ... FANTASTICO! PERIODO IPOTETICO DA MANUALE! Perché È Perfetto? Hai costruito un perfetto periodo ipotetico del quarto tipo (misto): Protasi: "Se avessi accettato" (congiuntivo trapassato) Apodosi: "vivrei" (condizionale presente)

It is based on the experience I had of loosing power at home for almost 5 days just before Christmas this year.  The first reading is from Mike Salemi. You can find him on his site Mike Salemi dot IO. He talks about five nutrients that all men need.  The second is from Evan Peikon, who has a Substack titled On Human Performance. He discusses the limitations of modern wearable devices and what they can and cannot tell us, making the case that wearable companies are effectively writing checks they cannot always cash when they draw multiple conclusions from a single device.  The third is from Michael Holt, who discusses how modern man is most often depleted, and how this leads to an erosion of his abilities to be generative. This state does not only impact his ability to perform at the highest level, it negatively impacts everyone in his life.   Links: Mike Salemi ►► https://mikesalemi.io Evan Peikon ►► https://onhumanperformance.substack.com Michael Holt ►► https://savageandsaint.com

Io non lo conoscevo, ma proprio colui che mi ha inviato a battezzare nell'acqua mi disse: "Colui sul quale vedrai discendere e rimanere lo Spirito, è lui che battezza nello Spirito Santo". E io ho visto e ho testimoniato che questi è il Figlio di Dio».Parola del Signore.

Egli confessò e non negò. Confessò: «Io non sono il Cristo». Allora gli chiesero: «Chi sei, dunque? Sei tu Elìa?». «Non lo sono», disse. «Sei tu il profeta?». «No», rispose. Gli dissero allora: «Chi sei? Perché possiamo dare una risposta a coloro che ci hanno mandato. Che cosa dici di te stesso?». Rispose: «Io sono voce di uno che grida nel deserto: Rendete diritta la via del Signore, come disse il profeta Isaìa».Quelli che erano stati inviati venivano dai farisei. Essi lo interrogarono e gli dissero: «Perché dunque tu battezzi, se non sei il Cristo, né Elìa, né il profeta?». Giovanni rispose loro: «Io battezzo nell'acqua. In mezzo a voi sta uno che voi non conoscete, colui che viene dopo di me: a lui io non sono degno di slegare il laccio del sandalo».Questo avvenne in Betània, al di là del Giordano, dove Giovanni stava battezzando.Parola del Signore.

    🧭 REBEL Rundown 🗝️ Key Points 💨 Peak vs. Plateau Pressures: PIP reflects total airway resistance and compliance, while Pplat isolates alveolar compliance—elevations in both suggest decreased lung compliance (e.g., ARDS, pulmonary edema, pneumothorax).🧱 PEEP Protects Alveoli: Maintains alveolar recruitment and prevents collapse; typical range 5–8 cmH₂O, but higher levels may benefit moderate–severe ARDS.️ Driving Pressure (ΔP = Pplat − PEEP): Lower ΔP reduces atelectrauma and improves outcomes; optimize by adjusting PEEP thoughtfully.💥 Prevent VILI: Keep Pplat < 30 cmH₂O, use low tidal volumes (6 mL/kg IBW), and monitor for barotrauma, volutrauma, atelectrauma, and biotrauma.📚 Evidence-Based Practice: ARDSNet and subsequent trials confirm that lung-protective ventilation—low Vt, limited pressures, and individualized PEEP—improves survival in ARDS. Click here for Direct Download of the Podcast. 📝 Introduction This episode reviews essential ventilator pressures and how to interpret them during ICU rounds. 🚀 Under Pressure Peak Inspiratory Pressure (PIP)Definition: Total pressure required to deliver a breath.Reflects: Airway resistance + lung/chest wall compliance.Common Causes of ↑ PIP:Mucus pluggingBiting the endotracheal tubeKinked tubing or bronchospasmPlateau Pressure (Pplat)Definition: Alveolar pressure measured after an inspiratory hold.Reflects: Lung compliance (stiffness of lung tissue).When Both PIP & Pplat Are Elevated:→ Indicates poor compliance (e.g., ARDS, pulmonary edema, pneumothorax).Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP)Definition: Pressure remaining in airways at end-expiration to prevent alveolar collapse.Typical Range: 5–8 cmH₂O but needs to titrated to meet patient requirements Notes:Provides physiologic “glottic” PEEP in intubated patients.Using high PEEP strategy shows mortality benefit only in moderate–severe ARDS in meta-analysis.Driving Pressure (ΔP)Definition: ΔP = Pplat − PEEP.Reflects: Pressure needed to keep alveoli open during the respiratory cycle.Goal: Lower ΔP → less atelectrauma & improved outcomes.Optimize: Increase PEEP to reduce ΔP and alveolar cycling. 📖 Interpreting High PIP/High Pplat ↑ PIP & ↑ PplatInterpretation: ↓ ComplianceCommon Causes: ARDS, pulmonary edema, pleural effusion, pneumothorax↑ PIP & Normal/Low PplatInterpretation: ↑ Airway ResistanceCommon Causes: Mucus plug, bronchospasm, tube obstruction or biting 🤕 Ventilator-Associated Lung Injury (VILI) Barotrauma:Mechanism: Excessive airway pressure damages alveoli.Prevention: Keep Pplat < 30 cmH₂O.Volutrauma:Mechanism: Overdistension from excessive tidal volumes.Prevention: Use low tidal volume ventilation (6 mL/kg ideal body weight).ARDSNet trial: 6 mL/kg → lower mortality compared to 12 mL/kg.Ideal Body Weight: Based on height and sex, not actual weight.Typical patient: Tidal Volume: 6–8 mL/kg IBWARDS: Tidal Volume: 4–6 mL/kg IBWAtelectrauma:Mechanism: Repeated opening/collapse of unstable alveoli.Prevention: Optimize PEEP to keep alveoli open and reduce driving pressure.Biotrauma:Mechanism: Inflammatory cascade (↑ IL-6, TNF-α) from mechanical injury.Effect: Can trigger systemic inflammation & multiorgan dysfunction.Prevention: Minimize all other forms of VILI.

    Thirty years ago, NASA’s Galileo spacecraft became the first mission to orbit Jupiter, opening a new chapter in our exploration of the outer Solar System. Over eight years around Jupiter, Galileo transformed how we understand Jupiter and its moons, revealing a powerful and dynamic planetary system, uncovering evidence for oceans hidden beneath icy worlds, and reshaping the search for life beyond Earth. To mark the 30th anniversary of Galileo’s orbital insertion, scientists, engineers, historians, and advocates gathered at the California Institute of Technology for a special symposium: Galileo at 30. In this episode of Planetary Radio, host Sarah Al-Ahmed takes you inside that celebration. You’ll hear how Galileo survived seemingly impossible challenges, how its team adapted when things went wrong, and how its discoveries reshaped planetary science. You’ll hear from key voices in Galileo’s story, including historian Erik Conway, project manager Bill O’Neil, magnetometer principal investigator Margaret Kivelson, Europa Clipper Project Scientist Bob Pappalardo, and Dragonfly mission Principal Investigator Elizabeth “Zibi” Turtle, along with reflections from many others whose lives and careers were shaped by this remarkable mission. Together, they tell the story of Galileo not just as a spacecraft, but as a shared human effort, one whose legacy continues to guide exploration today.

    When it comes to the evolving gaming market, there's a lot for Sony to keep an eye on in the years and decades to come. To keep PlayStation the vibrant brand it is today, the company needs to spread the field, and two newly-announced projects -- an all-new co-op multiplayer game from the director of Left 4 Dead and a mobile port of mega-popular baseball franchise MLB: The Show -- fit the bill nicely. It's true that Sony has had more than its fair share of false starts (and even outright failures) in both the mobile and games-as-a-service space. Yet, there's gold in them there hills. Lots of it. Can Sony finally slay some off-platform and off-genre demons and reap some rewards? We discuss. Plus: Nixxes helps reduce Helldivers 2's PC file size by an astounding 85%, Bungie has apparently solved its dispute with the artist it purportedly stole Marathon-related art from, Shovel Knight developer Yacht Club Games finds itself in self-inflicted financial duress, Amazon has already renewed the God of War TV show for a second season, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Has leaking culture gone too far? Will Micron's exit from the consumer RAM business affect console manufacturing? How can people find likeminded gaming friends online? Can we please do away with adult gift-giving once and for all?
