    Nytt år, nytt avsnitt – men samma gamla vi. I årets första avsnitt blickar vi tillbaka på det gångna årets nyheter, konstaterar att världen snurrat lite för fort igen och bestämmer oss för att… inte bry oss så mycket. Nyårslöften? Nä, vi skippar det. Vi håller dem ju ändå inte. I stället pratar vi om vad vi tror (och fruktar) väntar under 2026 – med lika delar allvar, skratt och självdistans. Christer kommer med ett oväntat erkännande: Man får inte vara med och bygga hans dyraste LEGO-köp. Dessutom avslöjar han en hemlig dröm om att hoppa fallskärm – men den stora frågan kvarstår: pallar hjärtat det? Samtidigt hemma hos Frasse råder totalförbud. Frasses fru har nämligen förbjudit honom att ens tänka tanken på fallskärmshoppning. Ett avsnitt om året som varit, året som kommer, drömmar som kanske borde förbli drömmar – och varför vissa LEGO-projekt är heliga. Välkommen till 2026 med Stridh hos Frasse.

    Choses à Savoir TECH VERTE
    L'IA beaucoup plus économe grâce à un nouvel isolant ?

    Choses à Savoir TECH VERTE

    Pour faire tourner l'intelligence artificielle, il ne suffit pas d'aligner des serveurs. Il faut surtout les refroidir. Et c'est là que le bât blesse. Selon un rapport de l'International Energy Agency, les centres de données ont consommé 415 térawattheures d'électricité dans le monde en 2024, soit quasiment l'équivalent de la consommation annuelle de la France. D'ici 2030, cette demande pourrait plus que doubler, pour atteindre 945 TWh, portée en grande partie par l'explosion des usages liés à l'IA. Une trajectoire énergivore, qui interroge la soutenabilité à long terme du modèle actuel.Face à ce mur énergétique, des chercheurs explorent des pistes radicalement nouvelles. À l'University of Houston, une équipe du département d'ingénierie biomoléculaire vient de mettre au point un matériau inédit pour les puces électroniques. Il s'agit d'un isolant bidimensionnel ultrafin, dit « Low-K », c'est-à-dire à faible constante diélectrique. Concrètement, ce matériau ne conduit pas l'électricité, mais laisse circuler les forces électrostatiques nécessaires au fonctionnement des circuits.Pourquoi est-ce crucial ? Parce que dans les puces actuelles, une grande partie de la chaleur provient justement des interférences électriques entre composants. En réduisant ces interactions parasites, cet isolant permet aux processeurs de fonctionner à haute vitesse tout en produisant beaucoup moins de chaleur. Résultat : des serveurs plus efficaces, qui nécessitent moins de refroidissement, donc moins d'électricité, sans sacrifier les performances. Pour fabriquer ces films Low-K, les chercheurs ont utilisé une technique appelée « polymérisation interfaciale synthétique », popularisée notamment par le chimiste Omar M. Yaghi, prix Nobel de chimie 2025. Le principe : assembler des briques moléculaires légères, comme le carbone, un peu à la manière d'un jeu de Lego à l'échelle atomique. On obtient ainsi des feuillets cristallins ultrarésistants, capables de supporter des températures élevées tout en maintenant une excellente stabilité électrique.Ces nouveaux isolants offrent un double avantage. D'un côté, ils améliorent la dissipation thermique dans les centres de données dédiés à l'IA. De l'autre, ils pourraient à terme bénéficier à toute l'électronique grand public, des smartphones aux ordinateurs. Si la technologie passe le cap de l'industrialisation, elle pourrait devenir l'un des leviers clés pour freiner l'explosion énergétique de l'intelligence artificielle — et rappeler que l'innovation matérielle reste aussi stratégique que les algorithmes.

But two-time NBA champion Shane Battier has been measuring the immeasurable inflection points of his career all along — from growing up "mixed, tall and poor"; to puking at Duke, guarding Kobe and witnessing LeBron's GOAT-defining game; to failing at ESPN and building a cabinet of relationships… including his therapist.

    Para los más pequeños existen opciones sencillas, como pequeñas "abejitas" que siguen secuencias de colores, pero al subir de nivel la complejidad aumenta considerablemente. Por un lado, están los sistemas tipo Lego, que son intuitivos pero representan un "capricho" costoso que puede superar los 450 o 500 euros. Por otro lado, existen alternativas mucho más económicas como Arduino o Microbit, pero estas requieren conocimientos previos de electrónica y una actitud más proactiva por parte del niño para no acabar frustrado. Sáez advierte que incluso un montaje aparentemente simple, como el de una "rueda loca" para que un robot gire, puede convertirse en un verdadero quebradero de cabeza técnico.Sin embargo, el valor real de este regalo no es el juguete en sí, sino su capacidad para "amueblar la cabeza" de los niños. A través de la robótica, los jóvenes no solo aprenden tecnología, sino que van llenando una "caja de herramientas" mental con habilidades como la resolución de problemas, el pensamiento lógico y la capacidad de aprender de sus propios errores. Es una actividad manipulativa que, a diferencia de la abstracción del ajedrez, permite ver físicamente por qué algo no funciona y buscar una solución real.En conclusión, si un niño ya siente pasión por este mundo y ha tenido experiencias previas en el colegio o en actividades extraescolares, un kit puede ser un camino de largo recorrido muy prometedor. No obstante, si es la primera vez que se acerca a este campo, la recomendación de Sáez es optar primero por regalar una matrícula en una academia o taller guiado antes de lanzarse a comprar un equipo costoso que pueda quedar olvidado en un estante.Para entender mejor este proceso, podemos decir que regalar un kit de robótica sin guía es como entregarle a alguien los ingredientes de una receta compleja sin el libro de cocina: aunque todos los elementos están ahí, el éxito y el disfrute dependen de tener un maestro que enseñe primero a encender el fuego.

    Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 597 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - It's the Most Wonderful Gear of the Year! The guys are back for this Holiday Special episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast and Brian and Blake come in strong with some singing. I think that's what it is. It has been quite the year for gear, and so the guys take a festive goosey gander at Reverb's top pedals of 2025. The guys attempt to coax some form of festivity from Brian with mixed results and then lament the current cost of living. Brian cooks up a plan to speed up the Christmas Holiday and a new business idea is hatched. Slowly, but surely, the guys get back on track and there is much rejoicing! Richard has been running some tone based Ai experiments with a new website he has helped a little with, debatably.ai. Blake remains unconvinced. Brian ponders a new type of Christmas decoration and has a Skateboard rant. Definitely avoid listening to the credits if you value your sanity.Finally, we would like to extend a very festive thank you to all our listeners this Christmastime - we really appreciate you all and we hope you have a fantastic and relaxing holiday. Lego talk, Cheap ham, Britney Spears x Pink Floyd, Brian imitates a Rockman, Dr. Horowitz's Marketing Gamble...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!We are on Patreon now too!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/chasingtonepodcast)Awesome Courses and DIY mods:https://www.guitarpedalcourse.com/https://www.wamplerdiy.com/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/@chasingtonepodcastFind us at:https://www.wamplerpedals.com/https://www.instagram.com/WamplerPedals/https://www.facebook.com/groups/wamplerfanpage/Contact us at: podcast@wamplerpedals.comSupport the show

    We often think of Large Language Models (LLMs) as all-knowing, but as the team reveals, they still struggle with the logic of a second-grader. Why can't ChatGPT reliably add large numbers? Why does it "hallucinate" the laws of physics? The answer lies in the architecture. This episode explores how *Category Theory* —an ultra-abstract branch of mathematics—could provide the "Periodic Table" for neural networks, turning the "alchemy" of modern AI into a rigorous science.In this deep-dive exploration, *Andrew Dudzik*, *Petar Velichkovich*, *Taco Cohen*, *Bruno Gavranović*, and *Paul Lessard* join host *Tim Scarfe* to discuss the fundamental limitations of today's AI and the radical mathematical framework that might fix them.TRANSCRIPT:https://app.rescript.info/public/share/LMreunA-BUpgP-2AkuEvxA7BAFuA-VJNAp2Ut4MkMWk---Key Insights in This Episode:* *The "Addition" Problem:* *Andrew Dudzik* explains why LLMs don't actually "know" math—they just recognize patterns. When you change a single digit in a long string of numbers, the pattern breaks because the model lacks the internal "machinery" to perform a simple carry operation.* *Beyond Alchemy:* deep learning is currently in its "alchemy" phase—we have powerful results, but we lack a unifying theory. Category Theory is proposed as the framework to move AI from trial-and-error to principled engineering. [00:13:49]* *Algebra with Colors:* To make Category Theory accessible, the guests use brilliant analogies—like thinking of matrices as *magnets with colors* that only snap together when the types match. This "partial compositionality" is the secret to building more complex internal reasoning. [00:09:17]* *Synthetic vs. Analytic Math:* *Paul Lessard* breaks down the philosophical shift needed in AI research: moving from "Analytic" math (what things are made of) to "Synthetic" math [00:23:41]---Why This Matters for AGIIf we want AI to solve the world's hardest scientific problems, it can't just be a "stochastic parrot." It needs to internalize the rules of logic and computation. By imbuing neural networks with categorical priors, researchers are attempting to build a future where AI doesn't just predict the next word—it understands the underlying structure of the universe.---TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 The Failure of LLM Addition & Physics00:01:26 Tool Use vs Intrinsic Model Quality00:03:07 Efficiency Gains via Internalization00:04:28 Geometric Deep Learning & Equivariance00:07:05 Limitations of Group Theory00:09:17 Category Theory: Algebra with Colors00:11:25 The Systematic Guide of Lego-like Math00:13:49 The Alchemy Analogy & Unifying Theory00:15:33 Information Destruction & Reasoning00:18:00 Pathfinding & Monoids in Computation00:20:15 System 2 Reasoning & Error Awareness00:23:31 Analytic vs Synthetic Mathematics00:25:52 Morphisms & Weight Tying Basics00:26:48 2-Categories & Weight Sharing Theory00:28:55 Higher Categories & Emergence00:31:41 Compositionality & Recursive Folds00:34:05 Syntax vs Semantics in Network Design00:36:14 Homomorphisms & Multi-Sorted Syntax00:39:30 The Carrying Problem & Hopf FibrationsPetar Veličković (GDM)https://petar-v.com/Paul Lessardhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-roy-lessard/Bruno Gavranovićhttps://www.brunogavranovic.com/Andrew Dudzik (GDM)https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-dudzik-222789142/---REFERENCES:Model:[00:01:05] Veohttps://deepmind.google/models/veo/[00:01:10] Geniehttps://deepmind.google/blog/genie-3-a-new-frontier-for-world-models/Paper:[00:04:30] Geometric Deep Learning Blueprinthttps://arxiv.org/abs/2104.13478https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIZB1hIJ4u8[00:16:45] AlphaGeometryhttps://arxiv.org/abs/2401.08312[00:16:55] AlphaCodehttps://arxiv.org/abs/2203.07814[00:17:05] FunSearchhttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06924-6[00:37:00] Attention Is All You Needhttps://arxiv.org/abs/1706.03762[00:43:00] Categorical Deep Learninghttps://arxiv.org/abs/2402.15332

    Please enjoy this encore of Career Notes. Principal consultant and pen tester at Secureworks, Eric Escobar, shares his career path translating his childhood favorite Legos to civil engineering and pivoting to cybersecurity. Eric was always headed toward engineering and got both his bachelor and master degrees in civil engineering. Upon breaking into a network with a friend, he was bitten by the cybersecurity bug. Making the switch to the red team and basically becoming a bankrobber for hire, Eric tests the security of many companies' networks. He feels that curiosity is an essential trait for cybersecurity and collaboration is key as no one person knows everything. He advises those interested in cybersecurity to just start.

    Thomas Poulsom is a hobbyist LEGO builder best known for his models of birds. But making birds out of bricks isn't easy. That's why he uses special pieces to sculpt something entirely different — like when minifigure carrots became a puffin's legs. A unique piece called a “snot brick” allows him to build in any direction, making it possible to make a round object out of square LEGO bricks.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

    Humankind has the technology to go to space. Space architect Ariel Ekblaw says the bottleneck now is real estate: getting larger volumes of space stations in orbit. Her company is working on the equivalent of giant, magnetic space Legos—hexagons that could self-assemble in space into livable, workable structures. This episode, host Regina G. Barber talks to her about this space architecture and why she says that the goal isn't to abandon Earth–but to off-world industries like agriculture and manufacturing in order to build a better Earth.If you liked this episode, check out our Space Camp series.Interested in more space tech episodes?
