In this week's show we do a review of the WiiM Amp Multiroom Streaming Amplifier but first, we read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: Tubi Will Stream The 2026 FIFA World Cup For Free Roku launching new creator-driven content channels, hub Disney+ to join Hulu in streaming top music festivals Streaming Bundles Offsetting Rising Subscription Costs WiiM Amp: Multiroom Streaming Amplifier As you know Ara just completed a set of speakers built from salvaged MDF and brand new components from Dayton Audio. The speakers sound excellent and will end up being a part of Ara's whole home audio system in Tennessee. The only issue is that these speakers are passive and need an amplifier. So to drive them Ara is using the WiiM Amp Streaming amplifier which runs for about $300 at Amazon. This WiiM amp is an all-in-one device that combines a high-quality streamer, ESS Sabre DAC, and Class D amplifier into one cool looking box. It's perfect for "just add speakers" simplicity with great performance, especially at this pricepoint. Key Features Power Output: 60W 8 ohms DAC: ESS Sabre ES9018 HyperStream, supports up to 24-bit/192kHz hi-res audio Streaming & Connectivity: AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Amazon Music, Qobuz, DLNA, Bluetooth 5.1 (two-way), Wi-Fi, Ethernet Inputs: HDMI ARC (for TV), optical digital, analog RCA line-level, USB-A (for local files/drives) Outputs: Speaker binding posts, subwoofer RCA (with adjustable crossover) Controls: WiiM Home app (iOS/Android), included remote, voice control (Alexa built-in, works with Google/Siri) Other: 10-band graphic EQ + parametric EQ, room correction options, multi-room grouping with other WiiM devices, gapless playback Setup Setup was straightforward and took about ten minutes including the firmware upgrade done through the WiiM Home App. For Ara's setup it was, plug in power and connect the speakers and join the wifi network which was done through the WiiM Home app. Ara is not using a subwoofer but one can be added by using the sub out RCA connection. You can adjust the crossover in the app. The app is where you can select EQ, source, and do your multi-room configuration. There is only one physical control that controls volume and doubles as play/pause. HDMI ARC makes it an excellent TV audio upgrade with minimal hassle. No complex wiring or external DAC needed. More on that in a bit. Sound Quality The WiiM Amp delivers clean, lively, and detailed sound at a reasonable price. It offers good clarity, solid bass control via the sub out. Distortion is very low even at high levels of volume. We are not saying that using these with some KEF or SVS Towers is the way to go, but for small-to-medium spaces, or desktop setups, it sounds surprisingly good. Add to it that it can make any speaker work with Apple Airplay or Google Cast Audio and you have a relatively inexpensive way to build out a wireless whole home audio system. The HDMI ARC support makes this a cost effective way to add a 2.1 speaker system to your TV. In this case the center channel is split evenly between the left and right speakers giving the perception that the audio is coming from the center, provided the speakers are not separated from the TV by a large distance. We have a listener named John who is using the Wiim Amp Pro ($379 from Amazon with no Airplay support) in this manner with an SVS subwoofer and his quote is, "It's been working perfectly". The only issue he had was with the EQ calibration. When it was set to cut and boost frequencies he would get audio dropouts. He did some experimenting and found that if he only cuts frequencies and does not boost them, the audio dropouts stopped. Cool Features That Make It Worth $300 All-in-One Versatility — Streamer + DAC + amp in one small box (about the size of a small Mac mini). HDMI ARC + Sub Out — Turns any TV into a better-sounding system and easily adds a subwoofer with crossover control. Advanced App EQ & Room Tools — 10-band graphic + parametric EQ plus presets let you fine-tune for your room/speakers. Multi-Room & Ecosystem — Group with other WiiM devices for whole-home audio; excellent service integration (Spotify/Tidal Connect, AirPlay 2, etc.). Other Extras — USB playback, two-way Bluetooth, and voice control, Summary The WiiM Amp is an outstanding budget streaming amplifier that offers a lot of versatility, ease of use, and surprisingly good sound for the money. It's ideal for anyone wanting a simple, music or TV audio setup without complexity or high cost. While we don't recommend it for big rooms, it's perfect for desktop and bookshelf use, especially if you want to use Airplay 2 or Google Cast Audio. With all that said, Ara will probably never use the app again and simply connect to it via the Airplay 2 from his Mac and iOS devices.
Part 3 with Cam Hay from Mustr Racing — and this one's all yarns. Fresh out of school with zero horse experience, Cam talked his way into a job at Gai Waterhouse's Randwick stable. He breaks down the journey from picking up shit for six months to begging Gai for a ride on the lead pony — and the absolute disaster that followed when a 25-year-old half-asleep ex-racehorse decided he'd had enough and bucked Cam right in front of the entire Randwick track. Plus race day chaos with Knuckles, Brizzy and Buster — the bookie who refused to take any more bets, and the bloke who jumped the fence and ran the straight shirtless during a rain-out at Eagle Farm. Cam also gets honest about the lows — including the 1-in-5-million yearling retired before she ever raced.
Part 2 with Cam Hay from Mustr Racing — and this one's a ripper. Cam breaks down exactly how he picks the horses he syndicates, why his data analyst (allegedly living in a dark room under a house) is the secret weapon, and the heartbreaking yarn about the horse he was this close to buying — that went on to win a Caulfield Cup, then a Melbourne Cup. Yeah. Half Yours. Plus the boys get into why a failed vet check (Paltrow Miss) was actually the right call, how benchmark ratings work, and why Buckeye is the perfect tried horse for the Mustr syndicate — already winning by 5 lengths, well-bred, and racing again by early July. Cam also walks through the new Mustr Racing app — live updates, prize money straight into your wallet, marketplace, all the gear.
In this episode of The BIG Home Ed Conversations Podcast, Kelly shares a powerful interview with Jenn Hodge, founder of Doing Education Differently. Jenn is a leading voice in neurodiversity and education reform, and has been at the forefront of challenging the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill — which has now become the Act. Together, Kelly and Jenn talk through what's happening, why it matters, and what families should be paying attention to as the Act begins to come into effect. This conversation is especially relevant for: Home educating families in the UK Families navigating “children not okay at school” Neurodivergent families and those supporting SEND needs Anyone concerned about how policy changes could impact autonomy, rights, and day-to-day home education life What we cover: Who Jenn Hodge is and why her work matters in this space The shift from the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill to the Act What the proposed changes mean in real life for families (not just in theory) Why neurodivergent children and families are often disproportionately affected by education policy The importance of staying informed, connected, and empowered (without spiralling into fear) How advocacy works behind the scenes — and why community voices matter What to watch for next as the Act is implemented, and how families can prepare Kelly's intention with this episode: This isn't about panic or pressure — it's about clarity, empowerment, and making sure families have access to grounded information as things change. This season is sponsored by Strew, a home education logging app created by a UK home educating mum and her brother.

Hey yall, Alex here, writing this from sunny London, at the first ever AI Engineer conference in Europe!What a show we have for you today! First, let me catch you up on what's important: Anthropic, this week announced a whopping $30B ARR up from 19B in Feb, while also telling us about Claude Mythos Preview their next gen HUGE model that they won't release to the public (yet?) that finds crazy vulnerabilities in existing code bases. Apparently OpenAI will follow up with a similar non-public model soon.The Meta Superintelligence Lab led by Alex Wang finally showed what they were working on, Muse Spark, the smaller of their upcoming models on a complete new infrastructure (MSL announcement, Simon Willison's deep dive on the 16 hidden tools).In other news:Z.AI released GLM 5.1 in OSS finally (HF weights), Seedance 2.0 finally available in US on Replicate, OpenAI testing out GPT-image-2 on LM Arena under codenames, HappyHorse from Alibaba takes the video crown, and Mila Jovovich (5th Element, Resident Evil) releases agentic memory plugin called MemPalace (Ben Sigman's transparent correction thread is worth reading).We had 5 guests today on the show, we kick off with @swyx the founder of AI Engineer and host of Latent Space. We then chatted with @petergostev from Arena (formerly LMArena) about Mythos and the compute wars, then Vincent Koc, the second most prolific contributor to OpenClaw, then our friends VB from OpenAI and Omar from DeepMind, both previously at HuggingFace. This is a busy busy show, and given the time-zones, I unfortunately don't have time for a full weekly writeup, but as always, I will share the raw notes and post the video (lightly edited).ThursdAI - Highest signal weekly AI news show is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.AI Engineer - LondonThursdAI came a long way since the first AI Engineer conference, but many who read this don't know, that was my big break. Swyx invited me to cover the first AIE in San Francisco in 2023, and I remember, I was in an Uber to the airport, the driver asked me what I do, and I, for the first time said “I host a podcast”. I (and ThursdAI) owe a lot to Swyx, and AIE team, and it's been incredible to see how big they've grown and how many great speakers this event hosts! The term AI Engineer has drifted in those 3 years, but also has the term Software Engineer. Swyx predicted this nearly 3 years ago, what I don't think he predicted, is that all engineers are now AI Engineers, and this includes domains like Agens (OpenClaw), Context and Harness Engineering, Evals and Observability, Voice & Vision all of which are tracks in this conference. I was really surprised to see how many of the talks/speakers here are native to London (after all, Deepmind is from here, OAI, Anthropic, Meta have offices here) and the latest boom in agents, OpenClaw, Pi were all Europe based as well, and they are joined the AI Engineer stage. Oh, and there's also a Giant Inflatable Claw at the entrance, yup, for pictures and vibes, and to show off how quickly the OpenClaw took over the mind-share. Anthropic announces $30B ARR and Mythos, their next model, will not be released to the public. The thing that everyone will tell you, is that Anthropic is on a roll, this is obviously connected to their upcoming IPO this year. We've been covering many issues on their part, but this week we saw them posting about a HUGE increase in ARR, from 19B in February to 30B in April, passing OpenAI at $25B. That last fact though, is kind of disproven because they report on ARR differently, OpenAI apparently only counts their cloud revenue from Microsoft per the information. The growth is undeniable though, and so is the most unprecedented release announcement, Claude Mythos Preview, which was rumored for a bit and now was announced proper. With project Project GlassWing, Anthropic has announced that this model is SO good at cyber security and finding bugs in code, that they cannot share it with the public, and through GlassWing they will share it with companies like Microsoft, Linux, CrowdStrike and a bunch of others, to harden their security. This is it folks, this is the first time, where a model was “announced” but deemed too risky to release. Now, is it truly “too risky”? Previously, folks thought that DALL-E is too risky, or cloning voice tech is too risky, and now it's everywhere. The capabilities catch up even in OpenSource. But the facts are, Anthropic says they've found a 27-year old bug in OpenBSD (famously very secure), and that this model is very very good at connecting the dots between several, seemingly inacuous bugs, to string them together into one coheren exploit. This is, indeed scary. Just last week, one of the top security researchers in the world, Nicolas Carlini, now at Anthropic, gave a talk at Black Hat, showing off these results, and saying that these models since December and definitely recently have passed him as a security engineer. If you haven't seen this talk, watch it, then try to estimate if Anthropic did the right thing by only releasing this model to enterprises first. But on the show, Peter Gostev from Arena gave me a take on this that I haven't been able to shake. Peter pulled up his Compute Wars chart live on the show — and the picture is that OpenAI is way ahead of Anthropic on compute, with Anthropic only recently getting a noticeable bump (which lines up suspiciously well with Mythos being trainable in the first place). His read: “it sounds cooler to say it's too risky to release than ‘we can't serve it.'” The official partner pricing is $25 / $125 per million tokens — 5x Opus 4.6 — but if you don't have the GPUs to serve it broadly, the price doesn't matter. In the year of the IPO, the company that cannot serve a model says the model is too dangerous to serve. Make of that what you will.This also reframes the whole rate-limit drama with OpenClaw. Anthropic didn't ban OpenClaw — I want to be very clear about this because the discourse went sideways. What they did is they made it significantly more expensive for Max-tier subscribers to use Opus through OpenClaw, which pushed a lot of people over to GPT-5.4 via Codex. Same root cause: they're out of compute. The freshly announced Anthropic + Google TPU deal (Google already owns ~10% of Anthropic) is them trying to fix this — though as Peter noted, it's pretty wild that Google is propping up a direct competitor to their own DeepMind team. Same pattern as their original $2B Anthropic investment ending up propping AWS Bedrock against Google Cloud. Big Google contains multitudes.Meta Superintelligence Labs ships Muse Spark — Llama is dead, long live MuseLlama is dead, long live Muse. This week Meta finally showed what the very expensive Meta Superintelligence Labs under Alexandr Wang has been cooking, and the answer is Muse Spark — the smaller of their new model family, built on a fully rebuilt AI stack from scratch in just 9 months. Nine months is wild for that kind of overhaul, and the headline number people are quoting is that they reach Llama 4 Maverick capability with over 10x less compute.Spark is intentionally small and latency-optimized — it's not trying to be the biggest, it's trying to be the first step on Meta's new scaling ladder. But the benchmarks in certain areas are nuts: 86.4 on CharXiv Reasoning (beats Opus, Gemini, GPT-5.4), and the one that really got me — 42.8 on HealthBench Hard vs Opus at 14.8 and Gemini at 20.6. They trained it with data curated by over 1,000 physicians and it shows. They also shipped a Contemplating mode which is parallel multi-agent reasoning, hitting 58.4% on Humanity's Last Exam with tools. Coding is the acknowledged weak point (77.4 on SWE-Bench Verified vs Opus 80.8) but for v1 from a brand new stack, this is extremely respectable.Meta is Back!The real story isn't any single benchmark though, it's distribution. Spark is rolling out across meta.ai, WhatsApp, Instagram, Threads, Messenger, and Ray-Ban Meta glasses — billions of users. Meta went from open Llama to a closed consumer model and they're clearly playing a different game now (though Wang says future Muse versions might be open-sourced).The deep-dive that's really worth your time is Simon Willison's post where he poked at the meta.ai chat UI and got the model to spit out descriptions of 16 hidden tools behind the scenes — full Code Interpreter with persistent Python 3.9, a visual grounding tool that does pixel-precise object detection (bounding boxes, point coordinates, counting — it located 8 objects including individual whiskers and claws on a generated raccoon), sub-agent spawning, file editing, and semantic search across Instagram/Threads/Facebook posts. It's basically an entire agentic harness baked into the chat UI. Jack Wu from MSL confirmed the tools are part of a new harness built specifically for Spark's launch. Meta stock went up 7% on this. They are very much back in the frontier game.Guest highlights We had an unprecedented packed show with 5 guests (also this is the shortest show we've everSwyx kicked us off with vibes from the AI Engineer floor — harness engineering as the dominant theme (gains are coming from the harness, not the weights), the rise of skills (English-as-programming-language) absorbing more of that harness work, and his thesis that supply-chain attacks like the recent light LLM and Axios incidents mean you should basically vendor everything — pip fork instead of pip install. We also chatted about how MCP has gone from “the most exciting protocol” to “settled and stable, therefore less interesting,” which is a great problem to have.Peter Gostev from Arena (you saw a lot of him in the Mythos section above) also dropped a bonus on us: Arena just released 3 years of historical leaderboard data and actual prompt datasets on Hugging Face. He used to literally scrape the arena website by hand into Google sheets to make those overtime leaderboards we all loved — now it's all public. Also: he confirmed that Seedance 2.0 jumped ~80 ELO points above the next video model on Arena, which is unprecedented — video models normally cluster within 10 points of each other.Vincent Koc — the #2 OpenClaw maintainer after Peter Steinberger — joined us fresh off the OpenClaw track stage. The OpenClaw codebase is now ~1.5 million lines of code including unreleased iOS and Android native apps. GitHub literally caps the issue/PR counter at “5K+” and they hit the ceiling. We talked about OpenClaw 2026.4.5 which ships /dreaming GA (Light/Deep/REM phases that defrag agent memory and write a human-readable Dream Diary to DREAMS.md), built-in video and music generation across 4 backends, GPT-5.4 as the new default, prompt-cache reuse improvements, and Control UI + docs in 12 new languages. Vincent's framing of dreaming was beautiful — “how do you explain agent memory to a mom? You call it dreaming.” He also gave my favorite line of the show on the GPT-5.4 personality problem: incredible at coding, but soulless. (For what it's worth, I came home after watching Project Hail Mary, cloned the Rocky voice, dropped it into my OpenClaw, and it was magical. That's the kind of thing you can only do when the harness and the model are decoupled.)VB from OpenAI told us Codex just hit 3 million weekly active users — up from 2 million last month. We talked plugins (the Stripe / Supabase / shadcn ones that ship as packages), sub-agents (yes, one is named Jason), and Guardian Approvals — an experimental mode that classifies each tool call by risk and only escalates the dangerous ones to you, so you don't have to YOLO-mode everything. The story that stuck with me though is his 9 AM Codex automation: every morning it reads his Slack mentions, cross-references Gmail and Calendar, and creates 5-minute pre-brief calendar events for upcoming meetings. None of that is “coding.” That's the super-app future hiding inside a “developer tool.” I'm stealing this workflow.Omar Sanseviero from Google DeepMind came on to celebrate Gemma 4 crossing 10M+ downloads with 1,000+ Gemma-4-based fine-tunes already on HF (and Gemma family total is now over 500M downloads). Gemma 4 is also the foundation for the next generation of Gemini Nano on Pixel/Samsung devices. Lama.cpp vision capability fixes are landing. Gemma 4 is also live on W&B Inference if you want to play. Wolfram (whose entire household runs on Pixel + Google AI Studio, including his 70-year-old mother on voice unlock) was in heaven.This Week's BuzzA short but spicy week from Weights & Biases:* W&B Automations are LIVE. You can now wire event triggers from your training runs (completion, eval thresholds, drift) into notifications, GitHub Actions, deployments, infra shutdowns — closing the loop from experiment to production. Pairs really well with the iOS app we recently shipped, so you can get a ping on your phone the moment something interesting happens on a run.* GLM 5.1 is live on W&B Inference (alongside Gemma 4 from last week) — the team is moving fast to host the best open models the moment they drop.* Wolfram published a deep dive on “more reasoning is not always better” on the W&B blog — the research behind his finding that giving models more thinking tokens can actually make them dumber on certain tasks. It's the in-depth version of what we discussed on the show last week, with all the data. Go read it on wandb.com.Also: shout out to everyone who came up to me at AI Engineer and said hi. The Wolf Bench mentions in particular made my day. If you're listening to this and you're at AIE — come find us, we'll be around tomorrow too.That's it for this week — newsletter is short because the show was long and London is calling. As always, thanks for reading and listening
MedPal AI CEO Jason Drummond joined Steve Darling from Proactive to talk about the rapid growth of the company's AI-powered healthcare platform and its vision to transform access to primary care. Drummond explained how MedPal AI aggregates data from connected health devices such as Apple Watch, Fitbit, and Oura Ring into a single platform, allowing users to gain real-time health insights. He highlighted the scale of this opportunity, stating, “The estimated 1.3 billion people in the world have a connected health device… the level and the quality of the information they collect in real time is incredible.” The platform combines AI-driven analysis with clinician oversight, enabling triage, diagnosis support, and prescription services. MedPal AI integrates a full end-to-end system, including robotic dispensing and rapid medication delivery, creating what Drummond describes as a “complete digital health platform” and a “health operating system.” The company has scaled strongly since launch, reaching approximately 41,000 prescription orders in a single month and achieving a run rate exceeding £5 million in revenue within just 16 weeks. Drummond emphasized the importance of combining AI with human clinicians to deliver real-world outcomes, including medication and continuous health monitoring. Looking ahead, MedPal AI is focused on expanding its footprint, with Germany recently launched and the US identified as a major future market opportunity. MedPal is a UK-based, AI-driven, closed-loop digital health platform that aggregates data from over 100 wearables/apps to provide personalized wellness insights, clinical consultations, and rapid, robotically dispensed medication delivery. It operates via a smartphone app (iOS/Android) that acts as a personal health command center, aiming to bridge the gap between wellness tracking and proactive medical care. #proactiveinvestors #medpalai #aim #mpal #MedPalAI #DigitalHealth #AIHealthcare #HealthTech #ConnectedDevices #Wearables #Telemedicine #PrescriptionDelivery #HealthPlatform #PatientCare #MedicalInnovation #AIAnalytics #HealthcareAI #GlobalHealth #HealthTechInnovation

JDK 26 et JDK 27 : ce qui nous attend — https://www.infoq.com/news/2026/02/java-26-so-far/ JDK 26 est une version non-LTS prévue le 17 mars 2026, avec 10 nouvelles fonctionnalités réparties en 5 catégories Le support HTTP/3 arrive enfin dans l'API HTTP Client standard de Java (JEP 517) La Structured Concurrency (projet Loom) en est à sa 6e preview, avec l'ajout d'une méthode onTimeout() sur StructuredTaskScope.Joiner Les Lazy Constants passent en 2e preview : des constantes initialisées à la demande, utiles pour optimiser le démarrage Le G1 GC gagne en performance via une réduction des synchronisations entre threads applicatifs et threads GC (JEP 522) Le cache d'objets AOT (JEP 516) est étendu pour fonctionner avec n'importe quel GC, y compris ZGC L'API Applet est définitivement supprimée (JEP 504), fermant une page historique de Java L'encodage PEM des objets cryptographiques continue sa preview avec support de chiffrement/déchiffrement de KeyPair Pour JDK 27 (septembre 2026), l'échange de clés post-quantique hybride pour TLS 1.3 est déjà ciblé (JEP 527) Project Valhalla progresse avec une preview des Value Classes : objets sans identité, à champs final uniquement Librairies Une étude de performance montre que Java est un super choix pour développer des serveurs MCP https://www.tmdevlab.com/mcp-server-performance-benchmark.html Comparaison de performances de serveurs MCP (Model Context Protocol) en Java, Go, Node.js, Python. Méthodologie: 3,9 millions requêtes, environnement Docker (1 cœur CPU, 1 Go RAM/serveur). Fiabilité: 0% d'erreurs pour toutes les implémentations. Tiers de performance: 1 (Haute): Go & Java (latence < 1ms, ~1600 requêtes/s). ▪︎ Go: Efficacité mémoire exceptionnelle (18 Mo vs 220 Mo pour Java). ▪︎ Java: Latence marginalement meilleure, mais 12x plus de mémoire. 2 (Moyenne): Node.js (latence ~10,7 ms, ~560 requêtes/s). Surcharge par instanciation. 3 (Faible): Python (latence ~26,5 ms, ~290 requêtes/s). Limité par GIL. Recommandations production: Go: Optimal forte charge, cloud-native, optimisation coûts. Java: Latence très basse critique, infrastructure Java existante. Node.js & Python: Adaptés charges modérées/faibles, développement/test. Node.js et Python peuvent être optimisés pour améliorer leurs performances en production. Et encore, en Java, le benchmark n'a pas utilisé GraalVM pour une compilation native, ce qui aurait donné des chiffres côté mémoire qui aurait concurrencé Go Qui a la meilleure perf entre Quarkus et Spring pour faire des serveurs MCP ? https://medium.com/@egekaraosmanoglu/spring-boot-vs-quarkus-which-java-runtime-wins-the-ai-mcp-tools-performance-battle-4da9d6a248d5 Quarkus JVM: Débit et latence les plus élevés (jusqu'à 16 381 req/s, 65% plus rapide que Spring Boot), surpasse Spring Boot même avec Apache Camel. Quarkus Native: Consommation mémoire la plus faible (118 MB), démarrage instantané, performance prédictible. Spring Boot MVC: Bonnes performances, écosystème mature, nécessite un "warm-up" important (jusqu'à 44% de gain). Spring Boot WebFlux: Légèrement meilleur débit et latence que MVC (~5%), mais plus de mémoire et complexité réactive. Coût architectural: MapStruct: Impact négligeable (< ±5%). Apache Camel: Réduction de débit de 8-21%, mais valeur ajoutée significative; Quarkus JVM + Camel reste > Spring Boot baseline. Protocole MCP: Sur Quarkus JVM (avec Camel), surpasse gRPC. Recommandations: Débit max: Quarkus JVM. Coût/Serverless: Quarkus Native. Intégration d'entreprise: Quarkus JVM + Camel + MapStruct. Meilleur choix Spring: Spring Boot WebFlux + MapStruct. Benchmark des stacks qui implémentent MCP https://www.tmdevlab.com/mcp-server-performance-benchmark-v2.html MCP (Model Context Protocol) est le protocole d'Anthropic pour connecter les LLMs à des outils et sources de données externes ; ce benchmark compare 15 implémentations serveur. 39,9 millions de requêtes traitées avec zéro erreur, sur des charges I/O réalistes (Redis + HTTP API) plutôt que des tâches CPU synthétiques. Rust atteint 4 845 RPS avec seulement 10,9 Mo de RAM ; Quarkus obtient 4 739 RPS avec la meilleure latence (4,04 ms en moyenne, 8,13 ms au P95). Go (3 616 RPS) et Spring MVC (3 540 RPS) constituent un second groupe solide. Node.js plafonne à 423 RPS ; Bun est 2,2x plus rapide sur un code identique (876 RPS) ; Python atteint 259 RPS avec 4 workers et uvloop. Découverte notable : un bug dans le SDK Rust rmcp v0.16 ajoutait ~40 ms de latence à toutes les réponses HTTP, limitant le débit à 1 283 RPS ; corrigé en v0.17 via la PR #683. Les images natives GraalVM réduisent la mémoire de 27 à 81 % mais dégradent le débit de 20 à 36 % ; Quarkus-native est l'exception avec 36 Mo RAM et 3 449 RPS. Spring MVC (bloquant) surpasse WebFlux (réactif) à 50 utilisateurs simultanés, rappelant que le modèle réactif n'est pas toujours gagnant. Recommandations : Rust ou Quarkus pour la production haute charge, Go pour le cloud-native, Bun plutôt que Node.js en JavaScript. Jakarta EE 12 Milestone 2 : données, cohérence et configuration https://www.infoq.com/articles/jakartaee-12-milestone-2/ Jakarta EE est la plateforme Java entreprise open-source, socle de frameworks comme Quarkus et Spring, qui standardise les APIs pour la persistance, les transactions, la sécurité, etc. Jakarta EE 12 adopte Java 21 comme baseline (avec support Java 25) et supprime définitivement le SecurityManager déprécié. La nouvelle spec Jakarta Query unifie JPQL (SQL/relationnel) et JDQL (NoSQL) en un seul langage avec deux profils : Core Language (portable) et Persistence Language (relationnel). Jakarta Data 1.1 introduit les requêtes dynamiques via une API fluente avec Restriction et l'annotation @Is pour des conditions plus expressives. Jakarta Data supporte désormais les repositories stateful, permettant la gestion du cycle de vie des entités (persist, merge, detach, refresh) comme en JPA classique. Jakarta NoSQL 1.1 intègre Jakarta Query via une nouvelle interface Query et supporte les projections avec des Java records. Jakarta Persistence 4.0 supporte SequencedCollection (Java 21) comme type de collection dans les entités. Une nouvelle spec Jakarta Agentic AI est en cours, visant des APIs vendor-neutral pour construire des agents IA sur les runtimes Jakarta EE, avec intégration prévue de LangChain4j et Spring AI. Cette release est encore un milestone (pas pour la prod) — l'adoption large dépendra de la maturité des outils (IDE, validation de requêtes, diagnostics). Nouveaux benchmarks Quarkus vs Spring Boot : performance complète et transparente https://quarkus.io/blog/new-benchmarks/ Quarkus est un framework Java optimisé pour les conteneurs, connu pour son faible usage mémoire et son démarrage rapide, concurrent principal de Spring Boot. Les anciens graphiques de performance sur quarkus.io étaient obsolètes, sans date, sans source, et ne montraient pas le débit (throughput). L'absence de données sur le throughput faisait croire à tort que Quarkus avait de mauvaises performances à ce niveau. Un nouveau benchmark open source a été créé, transparent et reproductible, disponible sur GitHub. Résultats : Quarkus gère 2,7x plus de transactions par seconde que Spring Boot, démarre 2,3x plus vite, avec deux fois moins de mémoire. Des experts Spring Boot externes ont contribué à rendre la comparaison plus équitable, notamment sur la configuration des pools de connexions. Les threads virtuels améliorent le débit d'environ 6000 tps supplémentaires pour tous les frameworks testés. Spring Boot 4 offre un meilleur débit que Spring Boot 3, mais au prix d'un démarrage plus lent et d'une empreinte mémoire plus élevée. En mode natif (GraalVM), le démarrage est ultra-rapide mais le throughput est divisé par deux, pour Quarkus comme pour Spring Boot. Le mode natif n'est recommandé que pour les applis démarrées/arrêtées très fréquemment ou à faible charge. Quarkus 3.32 : fondations pour la prochaine LTS https://quarkus.io/blog/quarkus-3-32-released/ Quarkus est un framework Java cloud-natif optimisé pour GraalVM et HotSpot, conçu pour les microservices et les environnements conteneurisés. Cette version marque le feature freeze pour la prochaine version LTS 3.33. Intégration de Project Leyden (AOT JVM) : le démarrage d'une application REST minimale passe de 370ms à 80ms. L'entraînement Leyden peut se déclencher au build ou via les tests d'intégration. Amélioration du graceful shutdown HTTP, avec des contributions de l'équipe Keycloak. Enregistrement automatique dans Consul via l'extension Stork pour la découverte de services. Nouvelles fonctionnalités de sécurité : DPoP nonce providers personnalisés, support de rich authorization pour OIDC. Possibilité de personnaliser l'ordre des mécanismes d'authentification et ajout de OIDCAuthenticationCompletionAction. Mise à jour du framework Google Cloud Functions en version 2.0, ainsi que Camel Quarkus et Quarkus CXF. Les utilisateurs sur LTS 3.27 sont encouragés à tester la migration vers 3.33 pour faire remonter des retours. NodeJS change sa cadence de releases https://nodejs.org/en/blog/announcements/evolving-the-nodejs-release-schedule Node.js est le runtime JavaScript côté serveur le plus utilisé, géré par la OpenJS Foundation avec un cycle de releases actif depuis la fusion avec io.js il y a dix ans. À partir de Node.js 27 (octobre 2026), le projet passe d'une release majeure tous les six mois à une seule par an. Chaque release deviendra LTS, supprimant la distinction entre versions paires (LTS) et impaires (non-LTS). Un nouveau canal Alpha est introduit, permettant les changements semver-major pendant la phase de test précoce. Les phases deviennent : Alpha (6 mois, oct. à mars), Current (6 mois, avr. à oct.), LTS (30 mois), puis EOL. La durée totale de support reste de 36 mois, identique au modèle actuel. La numérotation des versions s'aligne sur l'année calendaire de la release Current (ex : 27.0.0 en 2027). La version Alpha est signée, taguée et testée via CITGM, mais n'est pas destinée à la production. La motivation principale : les versions impaires étaient peu adoptées, la distinction pair/impair perturbait les débutants, et réduire les lignes de release parallèles allège la charge des bénévoles. Les auteurs de bibliothèques sont encouragés à intégrer les releases Alpha dans leur CI dès que possible pour détecter les régressions en amont. Web jQuery v4 est sorti https://www.infoq.com/news/2026/02/jquery-4-release/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=calendar jQuery est une bibliothèque JavaScript historique qui simplifie la manipulation du DOM, la gestion des événements et les requêtes AJAX, encore très présente dans de nombreuses bases de code. Cette version majeure sort pour les 20 ans de la bibliothèque, après presque une décennie sans version majeure. Suppression du support d'Internet Explorer 10 et antérieur, Edge Legacy et les anciennes versions iOS/Android. IE11 reste encore supporté dans jQuery 4, mais sa suppression est prévue pour jQuery 5. Le code source migre d'AMD vers les ES modules, pour une meilleure compatibilité avec les outils de build modernes. Le bundler passe de RequireJS à Rollup. Suppression des fonctions dépréciées comme jQuery.isArray, jQuery.parseJSON et jQuery.trim, désormais disponibles nativement en JavaScript. Le fichier gzippé gagne plus de 3 000 octets ; le build slim descend à environ 19,5 ko. Ajout du support des Trusted Types pour faciliter la compatibilité avec les Content Security Policy strictes. jQuery reste pertinent pour la maintenance de bases de code existantes et les projets nécessitant une faible dépendance aux frameworks. La réactivité en frontend : concepts et approches https://www.sfeir.dev/front/quest-ce-que-la-reactivite-en-frontend/ Un article qui resume comment la reactivite est implementee en front web La réactivité en frontend désigne le mécanisme qui permet de mettre à jour automatiquement l'UI quand les données changent, sans manipulation directe du DOM. Sans réactivité, les développeurs doivent mettre à jour manuellement chaque élément de l'interface, ce qui est fastidieux et source d'erreurs. Le data binding unidirectionnel (React) distingue le flux de données des callbacks d'interaction utilisateur. Le data binding bidirectionnel (Angular) synchronise automatiquement données et UI dans les deux sens. Le Virtual DOM (React, Vue) compare une représentation en mémoire avec le DOM réel avant d'appliquer uniquement les changements nécessaires. Les observables via RxJS (Angular) permettent de gérer des flux de données asynchrones et des événements complexes. Les signaux (SolidJS, Angular récent, Svelte) offrent des mises à jour granulaires et de meilleures performances que les approches précédentes. Les signaux proposent une API plus simple que les observables tout en restant très performants. La réactivité abstrait la manipulation du DOM et permet aux développeurs de se concentrer sur l'état de l'application. Data et Intelligence Artificielle Gunnar Morling a annoncé la sortie de Hardwood, un nouveau parseur Java pour les fichiers Apache Parquet, grâce aux leçons apprises par le 1BRC challenge https://www.morling.dev/blog/hardwood-new-parser-for-apache-parquet/ Hardwood : Nouveau parseur Apache Parquet open-source (Java 21+). But : Dépasser parquet-java (dépendances lourdes, lecteur mono-threadé). Points clés : Dépendances minimes, pipeline de décodage multi-threadé. APIs : RowReader (ligne) et ColumnReader (colonne, haute perf.). Optimisations : Parallélisme pages, préchargement adaptatif, moins d'allocations. Développement : Assisté par IA (Claude Code), révision humaine. Futur : "Predicate push-down", compatibilité parquet-java, écriture, CLI, intégration Iceberg. Apicurio Registry passe AI-Native — https://www.apicur.io/blog/2026/02/05/apicurio-registry-ai-natural-evolution Apicurio Registry est un registre open-source de schemas (OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, Avro, Protobuf…) gérant versioning, validation et gouvernance des APIs. Le projet étend ses capacités pour devenir une plateforme native AI, en appliquant les mêmes principes de gouvernance aux agents IA. Support du protocole A2A (Agent-to-Agent) : les agents s'enregistrent via des "Agent Cards" et se découvrent mutuellement via des endpoints standardisés. Un serveur MCP intégré permet aux LLMs d'interagir directement avec le registre (découverte de schémas, validation, création). L'intégration avec Claude Desktop est déjà documentée, permettant de gérer les artefacts en langage naturel. Deux nouveaux types d'artefacts : PROMPT_TEMPLATE (templates de prompts versionnés avec variables) et MODEL_SCHEMA (validation des entrées/sorties des agents). Les SDKs Java (LangChain4j, Quarkus) et Python (LangChain, LlamaIndex) sont disponibles. Une démo multi-agents illustre le "context chaining" : chaque agent reçoit les sorties des agents précédents dans la pipeline. La roadmap prévoit : gestion du cycle de vie des agents, recherche sémantique, intégration dans les pipelines de déploiement. L'Histoire du Deep Learning : quand les machines ont commencé à apprendre https://blog.ippon.fr/2026/02/20/lhistoire-du-deep-learning-quand-les-machines-ont-commence-a-apprendre/ un article qui retrace les avancées clées du machine learning Le deep learning est un sous-domaine du ML basé sur des réseaux de neurones empilés en couches, aujourd'hui omniprésent dans la vision, le langage et la recommandation. Le Perceptron (1957) est le premier modèle formel d'apprentissage supervisé, mais il échoue sur des problèmes non linéaires comme le XOR : une limite structurelle, pas algorithmique. La rétropropagation du gradient (années 80) permet d'entraîner des réseaux multi-couches, mais souffre du problème de "vanishing gradient" qui bloque l'apprentissage en profondeur. L'essor du deep learning dans les années 2000 est autant une révolution matérielle qu'algorithmique : les GPU, conçus pour le jeu vidéo, se révèlent parfaitement adaptés aux calculs matriciels. AlexNet (2012) marque une rupture industrielle en démontrant qu'un CNN profond entraîné sur GPU surpasse largement les méthodes classiques en reconnaissance d'images. Les LSTM (1997) résolvent les problèmes de mémoire à long terme des RNN, mais leur nature séquentielle limite fortement la parallélisation. Les Transformers ("Attention Is All You Need", 2017) révolutionnent le domaine en remplaçant la récursion par un mécanisme d'attention parallélisable, adaptable aux GPU et TPU. L'IA générative introduit une rupture conceptuelle : les modèles apprennent la distribution des données pour en produire de nouveaux exemples, et non plus simplement classifier. Les LLM offrent un socle généraliste réutilisable pour de nombreuses tâches, là où l'IA prédictive nécessitait un modèle spécifique par problème. La question de l'AGI reste ouverte et très incertaine, mais l'IA devient déjà un "acteur logiciel" capable de raisonner et d'agir de manière autonome via les agents. Ca y est, Agent to Agent Protocol (A2A) est sorti en version 1.0 https://a2a-protocol.org/latest/announcing-1.0/ Prêt pour la prod Support multi-version ( multi-protocoles (gRPC, HTTP+JSON…) Multi-tenancy : un même endpoint peut supporter et exposer plusieurs agents distincts Agent Cards signées et vérifiables cryptographiquement pour vérifier l'identité des agents Flexibilité : les clients peuvent choisir de consommer les résultats par polling, streaming, ou également webhooks Outillage Le guide complet pour créer des skills pour vos agents, par Anthropic https://resources.anthropic.com/hubfs/The-Complete-Guide-to-Building-Skill-for-Claude.pdf Définition et structure : Les skills sont des dossiers contenant des instructions (fichier SKILL.md obligatoire) et des scripts qui enseignent aux agents comment exécuter des tâches spécifiques ou utiliser des outils MCP de manière fiable. Fonctionnement technique : Le système repose sur la "divulgation progressive" via un en-tête YAML critique, permettant à Claude de charger le contexte de la compétence uniquement lorsque la demande de l'utilisateur le nécessite. Cycle de vie : Le guide couvre toutes les étapes de développement, de la définition des cas d'usage (automatisation, création de documents) aux protocoles de test et de distribution. il couvre aussi comment tester (brievement) et des patterns communs Apprendre a utiliser les skills pour structurer son code ia https://philippart-s.github.io/blog/2026-02-18-anthropic-skills/ Les Skills Claude sont des packages d'instructions dans un dossier enseignant à Claude comment gérer des tâches spécifiques de façon cohérente. Un skill se compose au minimum d'un fichier SKILL.md avec un frontmatter YAML et des instructions en Markdown. Le frontmatter YAML impose deux champs obligatoires : name (en kebab-case) et description (max 1024 caractères expliquant quoi faire et quand le déclencher). Les skills fonctionnent de façon identique sur Claude.ai, Claude Code et l'API sans modification. Trois catégories principales : création de documents/assets, automatisation de workflows multi-étapes, et amélioration d'intégrations MCP. Les skills s'appuient sur le principe de divulgation progressive : frontmatter toujours chargé, corps du SKILL.md si pertinent, fichiers liés à la demande. Cinq patterns courants : orchestration séquentielle, coordination multi-MCP, raffinement itératif, sélection d'outils contextuelle, intelligence métier embarquée. Les tests doivent couvrir le déclenchement (90% des requêtes pertinentes), le fonctionnel et la comparaison avec la baseline sans skill. Pour la distribution, héberger sur GitHub avec un README séparé du dossier du skill (pas de README.md dans le dossier lui-même). Un skill-creator officiel permet de générer un premier SKILL.md en 15-30 minutes à partir d'une description en langage naturel. Les skills pour les agents, c'est une façon d'automatiser des tâches répétitives https://glaforge.dev/posts/2026/02/21/easily-build-a-local-mcp-server-in-java-with-a-skill-in-gemini-cli/ Construction facile de serveurs MCP Java locaux pour Gemini CLI et autres agents. Solution au code Java répétitif : JBang + LangChain4j + un "skill" utilisé par Gemini CLI. Idée clée : Une "skill" pour Gemini CLI automatise génération et installation des serveurs. La "skill" génère un fichier Java, le compile et l'enregistre dans les paramètres de Gemini CLI. Avantages : Élimine le boilerplate, enregistrement automatique, développement rapide. Conclusion : Les "skills" d'agent automatisent les tâches répétitives et systématisent l'expérimentation. Un SKILL.md par Julien Dubois pour permettre aux agents IA de créer des projets Spring en suivant les bonnes pratiques à la JHipster https://github.com/jdubois/dr-jskill/blob/main/SKILL.md Dr JSkill est une "Agent Skill" conçue pour aider les IA (GitHub Copilot CLI, Claude Code) à générer des applications Spring Boot 4.x selon les meilleures pratiques de Julien Dubois. Permet de créer des projets full-stack modernes utilisant Java 25, PostgreSQL et Docker, avec un choix de frameworks front-end (Vue.js par défaut, React, Angular ou Vanilla JS). Intègre des scripts Node.js multiplateformes pour automatiser la génération de projets via start.spring.io sans dépendances npm externes. Préconise des choix technologiques stricts : Maven uniquement, pas de Lombok, et utilisation de Hibernate ddl-auto pour la gestion du schéma (pas de Flyway/Liquibase). Supporte nativement la compilation GraalVM (images natives) pour des démarrages ultra-rapides (

In this expansive and deeply illuminating episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, Michelle is joined by San Qing, a Daoist priest, teacher of internal alchemy, and lifelong explorer of consciousness, healing, and human potential. San shares his extraordinary origin story, including a near-death experience as a child, spontaneous clairvoyant and healing abilities, and his eventual ordination in Daoist lineages in China. Together, Michelle and San dive into the nature of reality, the illusion of identification with the material world, and how true healing occurs when we access the stillness beneath thought, diagnosis, and fear. This conversation bridges ancient Daoist wisdom with modern conversations around quantum healing, consciousness, and fertility. It explores how attachment to labels, timelines, and medical predictions can keep the body stuck, and how returning to the "void," the place of non-identity and stillness, allows the body and spirit to reorganise into harmony. This episode is a powerful invitation to remember that healing is not something we force, but something we allow when we reconnect with our deeper intelligence. Key Takeaways: Healing begins beyond the physical body, in consciousness and energy Identifying too strongly with diagnoses can limit what the body is capable of Stillness and non-attachment create space for transformation The body must be able to hold the energetic charge of healing Ancient Daoist teachings offer a roadmap for embodied, sustainable healing Guest Bio: Taoist Master San Qing is a profound healer. When he talks, there is something else that goes on in the room. The room is filled with light and love. Taoist Master San Qing has over 30 years' experience guiding people, teaching people, opening people up to their true potential as a human being, as a light being, as just being. San Qing is an ordained priest and 66th generation lineage holder and 126th generation lineage holder of Taoism. San is a Taoist master of Qigong and Neigong, is a prolific channel and healer who has built a reputation for direct access to the spirit realm. He is grateful every day to his teachers, the Three Pure Ones and the Tao, for allowing him to witness miracles. San works with people all over the world showing them, that the impossible is possible.

Ultra running is professionalizing fast. Bigger prize money, more sponsors, and smoother finishes. Laz Lake is the counterbalance to all of it, and this conversation is about why that matters.In part two of this trilogy at Laz's Tennessee farm, the two go deep on what makes Laz unlike anyone else in the sport: untouched by modernization, unbothered by fame, charging $1.60 for race entry while the rest of the industry chases scale. Josh draws a line from Popcorn Sutton, the last Tennessee moonshiner, to the Donner Party, to Bigs Backyard Ultra, and somewhere in the middle of all of it, a portrait of Laz emerges that you won't find anywhere else.This one's for the ultra runners who love the underground soul of this sport and don't want to see it disappear.Presented by Kiprun.----Listen to Scene One (the Races of Laz Lake) on Spotify or Apple or watch on YouTube.----Borderlands.cc | Podcast NetworkSign up: analog*Borderlands [new]letterWylder is now available on iOS + Android.Salt Lake Foothills Trail Races | 30 May 2026

In this episode, Aydin sits down with Paul Xue, a self-described “vibe marketer” and former 3x CTO who now runs an AI-native Reddit growth agency. Paul explains why he believes any assumption you made about AI even three months ago is probably wrong today, and how that realization pushed him to pivot away from writing code as a long-term career.He walks through how his team ships production software where ~100% of the code is AI-generated, why 80% of the work now lives in planning and system design, and how new models like Claude Opus 4.5 and Gemini 3 let him literally “go for a walk” while his tools implement features. Along the way, Paul shares real numbers (two years of work vs 10–15 hours), what this means for agencies and devs, how he hires in an AI-native world, and gives a behind-the-scenes tour of the multi-agent workflows powering his Reddit content engine.Timestamps0:00 – Introduction1:01 – What a “vibe marketer” is and why Reddit is a power channel in the LLM era3:01 – From 3x CTO to Reddit-first entrepreneur: deciding coding isn't future-proof4:06 – GPT-3.5 + end of zero interest rates: when dev agency contracts fell off a cliff6:28 – Adoption curves: senior devs who still don't use AI and why personality matters7:57 – Running an AI-native shop where ~100% of production code is AI-generated9:48 – Two years vs 10–15 hours: Paul's personal 10x story on shipping an MVP12:04 – New development workflow: “plan mode” and spending 80% of time on specs18:17 – Claude Opus 4.5, Gemini 3, and “going for a walk” while AI finishes features23:30 – How $60K–$250K apps turn into weekend side projects with vibe coding tools27:12 – Hiring in the AI era: why pure “ticket-taking” devs won't survive35:12 – Inside an AI-native Reddit engine: n8n workflows, agents, Pinecone & OpenRouterTools & Technologies MentionedReddit – Primary growth and content channel; a highly trusted source for LLM training and citations.ChatGPT / GPT-3.5 – Early model that triggered Paul's realization that traditional coding careers would change.Claude 3.5 Sonnet & Claude 3.5 Opus / Opus 4.5 – Anthropic models Paul uses for long-running coding, planning, and browser automation.Gemini 3 – Google model Paul uses to quickly generate solid, familiar SaaS-style UI/UX ideas.Cursor – AI-native code editor that turns detailed “plans” into production code with one click.n8n – Automation platform that powers Paul's multi-step AI workflows for content creation and evaluation.Pinecone – Vector database storing each client's knowledge base for highly relevant Reddit responses.OpenRouter – Routing layer that lets Paul easily swap and test different language models over time.MCP (Model Context Protocol) – Framework he uses to give agents tool access (e.g., scraping Reddit, reading DBs).Notion – Fast prototyping environment to validate data models and workflows before writing custom code.Zapier – General automation glue in the earliest workflow experiments.Figma – Design tool, now increasingly AI-assisted, for UI/UX mockups.SpecCode – Tool Paul cites for vibe coding HIPAA-compliant applications.Anything – Mobile-focused “vibe coding” platform for building iOS/Android apps on your phone.Fellow – AI meeting assistant that joins meetings, produces summaries/action items, and acts as an AI chief of staff.Subscribe at thisnewway.com to get the step-by-step playbooks, tools, and workflows.
In this episode of The Entrepreneur Experiment, Gary Fox welcomes back Matthew Coffey, co-founder of Squid, Ireland and the UK's largest local loyalty network with 550,000+ users and nearly 2,000 independent businesses. What began as a simple tap-for-coffee reward app has evolved into a powerful loyalty and payments infrastructure - and now Squid has launched Wave, a universal points currency described as “air miles for the high street.” You can now earn points in one brand and redeem them in another, all by linking your everyday spending cards. Matthew breaks down how Squid integrated with global giants like Square, raised over €10 million, and is now preparing to expand Wave across Europe as a new rewards-powered payment rail. He also shares the founder lessons he's learned, from communication to fundraising to scaling fast without losing trust and integrity. If you're curious about loyalty, fintech, payments, or the realities of scaling a startup into a European network, this episode is essential listening. Show Notes In this episode, Gary chats with Matthew about: How Squid grew from free coffee stamps to 550,000+ users and almost 2,000 independent businesses. Why Matthew & Katie focused on coffee shops to build a two-sided network from scratch. Introducing Wave — “air miles for the high street” where you earn across brands automatically. How card-linking with Visa/Mastercard/Amex enables one-touch loyalty. The impact of integrating with Square to give independents big-brand loyalty and data tools. The journey from early-stage startup to raising over €10m, including a €1.7m+ crowdfunding round. The North Star metric Squid tracks: the total free product given back to users. Squid's two-step scaling playbook for Europe: launch loyalty locally, then layer Wave on top. Why 2026 will be the “year of payments” as Squid builds a rewards-driven payment rail. Matthew's biggest founder lessons: communicate better, expand earlier, trust technology, and be relentless.

Obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) affects an estimated 1 in 40 adults and 1 in 100 children in the U.S. — yet it remains one of the most misunderstood and misdiagnosed mental health conditions. Too often portrayed as a “quirk” or a preference for cleanliness, OCD is actually a complex and often debilitating disorder rooted in anxiety and doubt. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Patrick McGrath, Chief Clinical Officer at NOCD, for a candid, deeply practical conversation about what OCD really is, how it shows up (far beyond stereotypes), and what actually helps. We dig into the “OCD × news cycle” spiral, break down flavors/subtypes and internal compulsions, and get specific about Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP): what it looks like, why the response prevention part matters most, and how to know if you're getting the right care. You'll also hear how to find a qualified clinician, what treatment “afters” feel like, and the empowering mindset of living the life you want — not the one OCD dictates. IN THIS EPISODE WE TALK ABOUT... The OCD–news cycle Venn diagram: why constant headlines can supercharge doubt and rumination What OCD actually is (and isn't) and why logic alone won't cut it Flavors, subtypes, and themes plus how themes can “double scoop.” ERP in real life: the safety behaviors to drop, and why response prevention is the unlock Getting help + what recovery feels like: how to vet specialists, levels of care, virtual options/insurance, and building a supportive “mental-health team” for long-term wins and more!

In this episode Coaches Caroline and Valerie unpack the recent drop in elite marathon times, the role of super-shoes and recovery, and — most importantly — what recreational runners can actually do to get faster without getting injured. If you've wondered why the elites seem to keep improving while your pace sits still, this episode explains the science (gravity + elasticity), the training trends (intervals, Norwegian-style sessions, split volume), and the one thing that levels the playing field: smarter movement and targeted coaching.
In this conversation with designer, mindfulness teacher, and friend Jay Vidyarthi — we explore how to reclaim agency in the age of the attention economy without rejecting the magic of technology. We discuss why mainstream narratives about digital distraction often leave out empowerment, how to build healthier relationships with technology, the nuanced role of AI, the sacred responsibility of attention and why awareness is the first “spell” in your own defense against the dark arts of distraction.
