Grayskull, Gumshoes, and Global Spy Nonsense This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl have the power… allegedly. The guys dig into Citadel Season 2 episodes 3 and 4, continue down the black-and-white rabbit hole with Spider-Noir episodes 3 and 4, and then head back to Eternia for the 2026 live-action Masters of the Universe movie. It's spies, spiders, swords, Skeletor, and probably way too much yelling about whether He-Man should ever be self-aware. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 The Citadel Season 2 (eps 3-4): 4:56 Spider-Noir (eps 3-4): 19:54 Masters of the Universe (2026): 32:02 The Citadel (Amazon Prime) Series: Citadel Season: 2 Network: Prime Video Season 2 Release Date: May 6, 2026 Season 2 Episode Count: 7 episodes Starring: Richard Madden, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Stanley Tucci, Lesley Manville, Matt Berry, Michael Trucco, Rahul Kohli, Merle Dandridge, and Jack Reynor Citadel Season 2 released all seven episodes on Prime Video on May 6, 2026, with episode 3 titled “Chinos” and episode 4 titled “Unreasonable.” Prime Video describes the season as a globe-spanning spy thriller following Mason Kane, Nadia Sinh, and Bernard Orlick as Citadel operatives caught in a conspiracy where “anyone could be friend or foe.” Episode 3: “Chinos” Director: Joe Russo Writers: Gursimran Sandhu and David J.

Episode 3: “Double Cross” Director: Nzingha Stewart Writers: Megan Liao and Steve Lightfoot Original Air Date: May 25, 2026 on MGM+ / May 27, 2026 on Prime Video Summary: Ben is hired by Silvermane to find who leaked his liquor transfer. At the hospital, he learns injured officers were tipped off by Morris. Robbie goes to a poor neighborhood to question Lincoln but witnesses a raid ordered by Morris, forcing Marko and Lincoln to use their powers against the cops. Janet discovers Addison, Lincoln, and Marko were former prisoners of war. Ben also finds out Carmedy lied about being Cat’s husband to gather evidence on Morris and that Cat arranged the meeting. He concludes Cat leaked the transfer and hired Addison to burn down Silvermane’s mansion. Ben breaks into Silvermane’s vault to pay Vera to leave town before she exposes Cat. Marko briefly considers escaping with Cat, but abandons the idea due to his symptoms worsening further. Ben later confronts Cat at Penn Station as she tries to flee, but Winston captures them. After tracing marked payments from Silvermane, Ben frames Winston by using his money to pay Vera. Silvermane shoots and kills Winston.

Marko eavesdrops on their discussion. Feeling betrayed, he decides to work for Silvermane again. Robbie and Janet interview Lincoln at the office. Silvermane uses Marko to intimidate Morris into backing off on his campaign ending Prohibition. Ben and Cat spend the night at his place, where he divulges on how Ruby died from a criminal he caught seeking revenge. They both leave after hearing a metahuman is attacking the Diamond District, presuming it to be Marko. The metahuman is a man named Dirk Leyden, a criminal with the ability to absorb and release electricity. The Spider defeats him by shutting off the power in the area to prevent Leyden from storing any more electricity, and Morris uses his victory to boost his campaign. Cat returns to Ben’s apartment and deduces that he is the Spider before kissing him.

Fredrik snackar Kotlinconf 2026 och språket Kotlin i allmänhet med Johan Blomgren och Emil Kantis. Hur var konferensen? Hur fungerar utvecklingen av Kotlin, och vad är på gång i språket? Det blir tips på intressanta presentationer värda att se när de släpps på nätet, och en förklaring av varför Kotlinconfs officiella app inte känns helt hemma på Appletelefoner. Vi snuddar också - inte helt oväntat - vid språkmodeller. Vi pratar om AI, teknikutvecklingen, och presentationen av saker som oundvikliga kontra att bygga en bättre värld genom att helt enkelt prata mer med andra människor. Gärna öga mot öga också. Det är en mänsklig superkraft! Som avslutning bjuds på en snabb genomgång av anledningar att byta till Kotlin från Java. Ett stort tack till Cloudnet som sponsrar vår VPS!

Trop bureaucratique, plein d'agents “barbouzes” : les clichés sur les renseignements persistent en France. Cette image, parfois vraie, parfois éloignée de la réalité, découle de l'histoire de la DGSE. Parcourir ce passé permet de comprendre le rôle des espions français aujourd'hui. Cette semaine, dans "Nid d'espions”, Etienne Girard, directeur adjoint de la rédaction de L'Express et spécialiste des questions d'espionnage, reçoit Damien van Puyvelde, maître de conférences en renseignement et sécurité à l'université de Leyden aux Pays Bas, chercheur associé à l'Irsem, et auteur de DGSE, Une brève histoire du renseignement français (Nouveau monde). “Nid d'espions” est un podcast de L'Express, consacré au renseignement, et au rôle majeur des espions dans les moments clés de l'Histoire.

En este episodio, les vamos a contar tres historias de cultos mortales y sus desenlaces violentos, que van desde el crimen organizado hasta una guerra civil con víctimas contadas por millones. Les presento a los Thuggee, la primera “mafia” de asesinos rituales de la India que estrangulaba a viajeros en nombre de la diosa Kali. También hablaremos del dramático Jan van Leyden, el sastre anabaptista que tomó Münster, se autoproclamó Rey de la Nueva Sión e impuso la poligamia obligatoria. Y para cerrar, el güey que reprobó el examen cuatro veces y se creyó el hermano de Jesucristo, desatando la infame Rebelión Taiping, uno de los conflictos más sangrientos de la historia. ¿Es posible que tres personas se desvanezcan de la faz de la tierra sin dejar una sola gota de sangre, pero sí un mensaje borrado en el contestador?

Gros zoom sur les skills et leurs usages dans les coding agents, sur les benchmarks de stacks techniques MCP, mais aussi du Java 26-27, du HttpClient, du NodeJS, des scenarios nucléaires pilotés par l'IA, de la méthodologie, bref on ne s'ennuie pas ! Enregistré le 15 mars 2026 Téléchargement de l'épisode LesCastCodeurs-Episode-338.mp3 ou en vidéo sur YouTube. News Langages Bruno Borges a créé un site, inspiré d'un site récent qui montrait comment CSS avait évolué, qui illustre justement comment Java a bien évolué au fil du temps, et est devenu un langage encore plus élégant https://javaevolved.github.io/ Code simplifié: main() allégé, var, blocs de texte, API String enrichie. Pattern Matching: switch sur types, instanceof amélioré, record patterns. Données: Records, collections immuables faciles à créer, méthodes de listes. Concurrence: Threads virtuels, CompletableFuture, StructuredTaskScope, ScopedValue. Erreurs & Sécurité: NPE précis, catch multiples, Optional amélioré, filtres de désérialisation. I/O & Réseau: HttpClient moderne, E/S fichiers/console simplifiées, transferTo. Dates & Heures: API modernisée, précise, immutables et thread-safe. Langage: Interfaces sealed/private, import de modules, Math.clamp Streams: Nouveaux opérateurs (takeWhile, mapMulti, Gatherers, teeing). Outils & Perf: jshell, exécution simplifiée, jwebserver, AOT, JFR, optimisation mémoire. 10+ raisons de ne pas utiliser le HttpClient du JDK, avec un article très détaillé de Brice Dutheil https://blog.arkey.fr/2026/02/08/ten-reasons-to-not-use-jdk-httpclient/ JDK HttpClient: intégré, non-upgradable. OkHttp: plus lourd (dépendance Kotlin). TLS/SSL: JDK: SSLContext limité, vérif hôte globale, épinglage manuel, SSLParameters rigides. OkHttp: contrôle fin (SSLSocketFactory/TrustManager), vérif hôte/épinglage dédiés, ConnectionSpec structuré. Connexions: JDK: pas de repli, fabrique socket custom impossible (pas UDS/Named Pipes direct), pool limité (propriétés système, contrôle pauvre avant JDK 20/21). OkHttp: repli automatique, fabrique custom, pool granulaire. Réseau: JDK: résolveur DNS par défaut, Authenticator unique. OkHttp: résolveur DNS custom, authentificateurs séparés (proxy/serveur). Cycle Requêtes: JDK: pas d'intercepteurs ni API événements intégrés. OkHttp: addInterceptor, EventListener pour événements granulaires. Ressources: JDK: pas d'arrêt propre avant JDK 21. OkHttp: arrêt granulaire (pool, exécuteur, cache). Timeout: JDK: désactivé après en-têtes; le transfert du corps peut dépasser le timeout initial. 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.

Vincenta Leyden lives in Hilltown, County Down, Northern Ireland, near the Mourne Mountains. Born in Northern Ireland and raised partly in the Republic of Ireland, her life has unfolded along the border between two places and identities. Growing up during the Troubles, she experienced the conflict not through dramatic moments but through the everyday realities of living in a divided society. Those experiences shaped her curiosity about history, identity, and the ways communities understand the past.A creative thinker and lifelong learner, Vincenta is drawn to poetry, music, and art as ways to explore emotions and open conversations across differences. Inspired by poets like Seamus Heaney, she writes and reads poetry as a way to reflect on personal and collective stories.As a mother, she encourages her children to engage with a wider world through music and cross-border cultural experiences. Vincenta believes creativity and curiosity can help people challenge assumptions, connect across communities, and imagine a more hopeful future.Credits:Photos and text, John NoltnerField production, summer interns Kate West, Sawyer Garrison, and Kaitlin ImaiAudio Engineering, Razik SaifullahThanks for listening to A Peace of My Mind's podcast.

Wounds Without Toxic PositivityIn this episode of The More Live Podcast, I sit down with my dear friend to talk about my book Scar Tissue: How to Find Relief from the Pain of Your Emotional Wounds Without Toxic Positivity and the deeper truths about grief, healing, and personal power.We explore grief beyond death, why toxic positivity can actually delay healing, and how language, responsibility, and choice shape our emotional freedom. I share the story behind why this book exists, how losing my daughter Leyden reshaped every part of my life, and why grief is not something to get over but something to integrate.This conversation is for anyone navigating loss, identity shifts, heartbreak, or the quiet griefs we don't always name. If you've ever felt stuck between honoring your pain and wanting to move forward without betraying your love, this episode will meet you exactly where you are.Show Notes: In this deeply honest conversation, I share the journey behind Scar Tissue and the lessons grief has taught me about power, responsibility, and freedom. We talk about redefining grief beyond death, dismantling entitlement disguised as worthiness, and why eliminating the word “should” changed my entire life.We also explore how grief can become a source of connection rather than something that isolates us, how to work with emotional energy instead of numbing or bypassing it, and why healing is not about moving on but moving forward with love.This episode is an invitation to stop outsourcing your worth, reclaim your agency, and become a conscious co-creator with your pain instead of a victim to it.In this episode, we explore:• Why grief is more than death and how it shows up in everyday life• The difference between toxic positivity and empowered healing• How language like “should” creates guilt, shame, and disempowerment• The concept of grief as energy and how to transmute it• Why you are worthy but not entitled and how that distinction creates freedom• How to integrate loss without losing connection• The role of radical responsibility in healing emotional wounds• Why grief is not a blank check to be an asshole• How nervous system regulation plays a key role in long-term healing• What it really means to move forward without betraying love Catch up with me on socials!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melissadlugolecki/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/melissa.dlugoleckiLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissa-dlugolecki-b24988141/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@melissadlugoleckiYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MelissaDlugolecki
En 1945, à Nuremberg, de hauts responsables nazis étaient jugés pour crime de guerre et crime contre l'humanité… 80 ans après ce procès historique, comment s'inspirer de ce tribunal fondateur de la justice internationale pour en finir avec l'impunité dans les conflits armés en Ukraine, à Gaza ou encore en RDC ? Le 20 novembre 1945 s'ouvrait à Nuremberg, en Allemagne, le plus grand procès de l'histoire. D'un commun accord, la France, les États-Unis, l'Union soviétique et le Royaume-Uni affirmaient leur volonté de juger vingt-deux dignitaires nazis, chefs militaires ou hauts fonctionnaires, tous accusés de crimes de guerre ou de crimes contre l'humanité. Mais pourquoi invoquer Nuremberg lorsque l'on réclame la fin de l'impunité ? Le président ukrainien Volodymyr Zelensky l'a fait pour son pays l'Ukraine en interpellant le peuple russe dès le 4 avril 2022, suite à l'invasion russe du 24 Février : « Le moment viendra où chaque Russe apprendra toute la vérité sur ceux de ses concitoyens qui ont tué. Qui a donné des ordres. Qui a fermé les yeux sur ces meurtres. Nous allons établir tout cela. Et le faire connaitre dans le monde entier. Nous sommes maintenant en 2022. Et nous avons beaucoup plus d'outils que ceux qui ont poursuivi les nazis après la Seconde Guerre mondiale. » Et le docteur Mukwege, prix Nobel de la paix a explicitement fait référence à Nuremberg, en octobre 2024, lors d'un passage à l'Université de Strasbourg en France : « Les Congolaises et les Congolais ont aussi droit à leur Nuremberg. Telle est la raison pour laquelle nous plaidons aux côtés des victimes et des survivant.es pour l'établissement d'un Tribunal international pénal pour le Congo et/ou des chambres spécialisées mixtes. » Un Nuremberg pour l'Ukraine, Gaza ou la RDC est-il possible ? Une enquête signée Clémentine Méténier avec William Schabbas, professeur de droit pénal international et des droits de l'homme à Londres, Université de Middlesex, Leyden et Sciences Po ; Christian Delage, historien et cinéaste, réalisateur du film historique «Nuremberg, les nazis face à leur crime» ; Thierry Cruvellier, rédacteur en chef du site Justice Info ; Rafaëlle, professeure de droit international à l'Université Paris Saclay et travaille sur la justice pénale internationale, précisément sur la notion de génocide. Reagan Miviri, avocat au Barreau de Goma dans le Nord-Kivu, il travaille au sein de Ebuteli l'Institut congolais de recherche sur la politique, la gouvernance et la violence. À lire sur le site Justice Info Le grand entretien de Clémentine Méténier avec l'historien et cinéaste Christian Delage. À suivre au Mémorial de la Shoah à Paris la journée d'étude Nuremberg et son héritage, 1945-2025. Le 20 novembre 2025 marque le 80è anniversaire de l'ouverture, à Nuremberg, du procès des grands criminels nazis, où, pour la première fois, des responsables politiques et militaires de haut niveau – accusés des crimes de conspiracy (complot), crimes contre la paix, crimes de guerre et crimes contre l'humanité – étaient traduits devant une cour internationale, composée des principales forces alliées victorieuses de l'Allemagne nazie. Pour le procureur général Robert H. Jackson, il s'agissait de construire un «procès documentaire», où, en raison des crimes considérables commis par les nazis, notamment leur politique d'extermination des Juifs d'Europe, il était nécessaire de faire reposer l'accusation sur des preuves irréfutables, pour éviter qu'à l'avenir leur réalité fasse l'objet d'une négation. Contre toute attente, les images allaient jouer un rôle majeur pour confronter les nazis à leurs propres crimes. La journée de colloque s'interrogera sur l'héritage des «principes de Nuremberg» depuis les années 1990, grâce au développement d'une justice internationale fondée sur des tribunaux ad hoc (du Rwanda à la Centrafrique) et des cours permanentes (Cour pénale internationale, Cour internationale de justice), appelées à statuer en particulier sur le risque potentiel ou la commission de génocides. Or, la collecte de preuves qui s'inspire de la jurisprudence de Nuremberg est forte des nouveaux outils mis en place par les autorités judiciaires, en collaboration avec des ONG et des applications en open source qui en garantissent la fiabilité. Pour la première fois dans l'histoire, en Europe comme au Proche-Orient, la fabrique du dossier probatoire se déroule en co‑construction avec la société civile, en flux tendu et en temps réel. 11h - LE CHOIX DU PROCÈS DOCUMENTAIRE La construction de la preuve, de Nuremberg à Kiyv, 1945-2025 de Christian Delage, historien, Institut d'histoire du temps présent De Nuremberg au TPIY : la jurisprudence de l'image comme preuve pénale de Ninon Maillard, maîtresse de conférences à Paris Nanterre Modération : Ghislaine Glasson Deschaumes, directrice de la MSH Mondes, Paris Nanterre. 14h - LA CONSOLIDATION D'UNE JUSTICE PÉRENNE Tribunaux pénaux internationaux, tribunaux mixtes, Cour pénale internationale : du Rwanda à la Centrafrique, des instances judiciaires multiples de Joël Hubrecht, responsable d'études et de recherche à l'Institut Robert Badinter.

In this Foojay Podcast, we're diving deep into some of the most exciting developments happening within the OpenJDK and TornadoVM projects.At the Devoxx and JFall conferences, we spoke with several speakers and visitors about some of the major themes that are shaping the future of Java development. The first guest is Moritz Halbritter from the Spring Engineering team. He provides us with more insights into Project Leyden and how it's improving Java startup times through ahead-of-time compilation and profiling. We'll learn how Spring Boot developers can already take advantage of these improvements today.Next, we'll hear from John Cecerralli at Azul about performance optimizations, the evolution from x86 to ARM64 architectures, and how OpenJDK Projects bring improvements to the JVM itself at levels we couldn't achieve before.Then, Balkrishna Rawool will guide us through the world of vector databases and explain how Java's Vector API from Project Panama is perfectly positioned for AI use cases, despite its development beginning years before the current AI boom.And finally, we'll meet some of the team members behind TornadoVM - Christos Kotselidis and Michalis Papadimitriou from the University of Manchester - who will explain to us how Java developers can now harness the power of GPUs for AI workloads, running large language models in pure Java without leaving the Java ecosystem. They also explain the connection between TornadoVM and the OpenJDK Project Babylon.00:00 Introduction of topics and guests01:58 Moritz Halbritter* https://www.linkedin.com/in/moritz-halbritter-9301a1b1/* Project Leyden and how it can already be used with Spring* Difference between the approach of Project Leyden and CRaC11:02 John Cecerralli* https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-ceccarelli-95b7041/* OpenJDK evolutions in Project Leyden* Startup time improvements in Azul Prime* Java performance* ARM Graviton17:08 Balkrishna Rawool* https://www.linkedin.com/in/balkrishnarawool/* Vector API, project Panama22:44 Christos Kotselidis, Michalis Papadimitriou* https://www.linkedin.com/in/michalis-papadimitriou/* https://www.linkedin.com/in/kotselidis/* https://www.tornadovm.org/* https://www.tornadovm.org/gpullama3* https://github.com/beehive-lab/TornadoVM* TornadoVM status update, Java on GPU* How TornadoVM relates to Project Babylon and Project Panama33:42 Outro

No BS Spiritual Book Club Meets... The 10 Best Spiritual Books
How do we meet humanity's deepest wounds with grace?
Grief is the wilderness no one prepares us for. The world tells us to move on and bury the pain. But what if grief wasn't meant to be erased but integrated into who we are becoming? Melissa Dlugolecki knows this firsthand. After losing her daughter Leyden to NEC, her life was shattered, her heart broken, her finances devastated, and her sense of identity stripped away. And yet, it was in that breaking that her rebuilding began. Today, she is a speaker, coach, and author of Scar Tissue, helping thousands transform grief into healing, resilience, and purpose. In this episode, Melissa opens up about the truth no one wants to talk about: grief doesn't disappear, it integrates. And within those scars are the very lessons that can crown us with identity, strength, and calling. What You'll Learn: Why “moving on” is the biggest myth about grief How to truly support someone going through loss How to recognize grief as a part of your identity, not a season you leave behind The surprising ways loss can expand our capacity for love How to carry grief with grace while stepping into new seasons Timestamps: (02:45) - Moving on vs integrating grief (05:12) - Why Melissa wrote Scar Tissue (11:31) - What to say (and not to say) to someone who's grieving (14:06) - Toxic positivity and the danger of “time heals” (19:46) - The biggest lesson Melissa learned from her daughter (22:09) - Radical responsibility: shifting from victim to creator (26:22) - How grief prepared Melissa for entrepreneurship (28:02) - Listeners, Distractors, and Doers (32:16) - Authentically grieving and scheduling grief (35:57) - The art of presence and authentic communication (38:41) - Living with alignment, saying no to what doesn't serve (41:47) - How to deal with a team member who's going through grief Grab a copy of Melissa's Book: Scar Tissue | https://scartissuebook.com/ Connect with Melissa Website | https://speakingofmelissa.com/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/melissadlugolecki/ Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/melissa.dlugolecki YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/@MelissaDlugolecki Podcast | https://speakingofmelissa.com/podcast More from Emily & FORDIVINE: Website | https://meetemilyford.com Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/itsemily Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/itsemilymethod YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/c/ITSEMILYFORD Called & Crowned Podcast | https://www.instagram.com/calledandcrowned/ FORDIVINE | https://www.fordivine.com/

This episode comes with a long list of warning signs. The graphic descriptions of domestic violence in this survivor story can be triggering to some. There are instances of "adult language", as well. But the scenes depicted needed to be included so listeners can hear what often happens in unhealthy relationships. Please decide carefully whether you should listen to this episode or not. Bruce Bieber's daughter, Abigail Rose Bieber (Abby), was tragically murdered in an officer-involved domestic violence (OIDV) incident on January 29, 2022. She was a Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office deputy and was killed by her intimate partner, Daniel Leyden, who was also a detective in the same office. Leyden then committed suicide. Bruce Bieber has become an advocate against OIDV, working to raise awareness and push for mandatory policies and accountability nationwide to prevent similar tragedies. He shares his family's story and the systemic failures that allowed his daughter's murder to occur. Leyden had a prior history of domestic violence known to the sheriff's office but not acted upon meaningfully. There is much to be learned about OIDV but also the warning signs ignored by many involved. One of Leyden's ex-girlfriends, Chynna Ratner, is also included in this WHEN DATING HURTS episode. It is haunting to listen to Chynna tell what she experienced. She is fortunate to be alive. Chynna's story (nd more) can be found on the This Sh*t's Hard Podcast. It features candid, raw, co-hosted conversations with people who "do the hard sh*t". This Sh*t's Hard Podcast gets right down to the biggest challenges of life, business, and everything in between. They have episodes on dating, building and scaling a brand, changing sexual preferences, the business of fashion, travel wellness, exercise, and entertainment television... and so much more.

This episode comes with a long list of warning signs. The graphic descriptions of domestic violence in this survivor story can be triggering to some. There are instances of "adult language", as well. But the scenes depicted needed to be included so listeners can hear what often happens in unhealthy relationships. Please decide carefully whether you should listen to this episode or not. Bruce Bieber's daughter, Abigail Rose Bieber (Abby), was tragically murdered in an officer-involved domestic violence (OIDV) incident on January 29, 2022. She was a Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office deputy and was killed by her intimate partner, Daniel Leyden, who was also a detective in the same office. Leyden then committed suicide. Bruce Bieber has become an advocate against OIDV, working to raise awareness and push for mandatory policies and accountability nationwide to prevent similar tragedies. He shares his family's story and the systemic failures that allowed his daughter's murder to occur. Leyden had a prior history of domestic violence known to the sheriff's office but not acted upon meaningfully. There is much to be learned about OIDV but also the warning signs ignored by many involved. One of Leyden's ex-girlfriends, Chynna Ratner, is also included in this WHEN DATING HURTS episode. It is haunting to listen to Chynna tell what she experienced. She is fortunate to be alive. Chynna's story (nd more) can be found on the This Sh*t's Hard Podcast. It features candid, raw, co-hosted conversations with people who "do the hard sh*t". This Sh*t's Hard Podcast gets right down to the biggest challenges of life, business, and everything in between. They have episodes on dating, building and scaling a brand, changing sexual preferences, the business of fashion, travel wellness, exercise, and entertainment television... and so much more.

My fellow pro-growth/progress/abundance Up Wingers,The 1990s and the dawn of the internet were a pivotal time for America and the wider world. The history of human progress is a series of such pivotal moments. As Peter Leyden points out, it seems we're facing another defining era as society wrestles with three new key technologies: artificial intelligence, clean energy, and bioengineering.Today on Faster, Please! — The Podcast, I chat with Leyden about American leadership in emerging technology and the mindset shifts we must undergo to bring about the future we dream of.Leyden is a futurist and technology expert. He is a speaker, author, and founder of Reinvent Futures. Thirty years ago, he worked with the founders of WIRED magazine, and now authors his latest book project via Substack: The Great Progression: 2025 to 2050.In This Episode* Eras of transformation (1:38)* American risk tolerance (11:15)* Facing AI pessimism (15:38)* The bioengineering breakthrough (24:24)* Demographic pressure (28:52)Below is a lightly edited transcript of our conversation. Eras of transformation (1:38)I think we Americans tend to reset the clock in which we get in these dead ends, we get in these old patterns, these old systems, and the things are all falling apart, it's not working. And then there is a kind of a can-do reinvention phase . . .Pethokoukis: Since World War II, as I see it, we have twice been on the verge of a transformational leap forward, economically and technologically. I would say that was right around 1970 and then right around 2000, and the periods of time after that, I think, certainly relative to the expectations then, was disappointing.It is my hope, and I know it's your hope as well, that we are at another such moment of transformation. One, do you accept my general premise, and two, why are we going to get it right this time?If I'm hearing you right, you're kind of making two junctures there. I do believe we're in the beginning of what would be much more thought of as a transformation. I would say the most direct parallel is closer to what happened coming off of World War II. I also think, if you really go back in American history, it's what came off of Civil War and even came off of the Founding Era. I think there's a lot of parallels there I can go into, I've written about in my Substack and it's part of the next book I'm writing, so there's a bigger way that I think about it. I think both those times that you're referring to, it seems to me we were coming off a boom, or what seemed to be an updraft or your “Up Wing” kind of periods that you think of — and then we didn't.I guess I think of it this way: the '50s, '60s, and '90s were exciting times that made it feel like the best was yet to come — but then that momentum stalled. I'm hopeful we're entering another such moment now, with so much happening, so much in motion, and I just hope it all comes together.The way I think about it in a bigger lens, I would just push back a little bit, which is, it's true coming off the '90s — I was at WIRED magazine in the '90s. I was watching the early '90s internet and the Digital Revolution and I sketched out at that time, in my first book but also cover stories in WIRED, trying to rough out what would happen by the year 2020. And it is true that coming off the '90s there was a Dot Com crash, but temporarily, honestly, that with the Web 2.0 and others, a lot of those trends we were talking about in the '90s actually just kept picking up.So depending how big the lens is, I would argue that, coming off the '90s, the full digital revolution and the full globalization that we were starting to see in the early to mid-'90s in some respects did come to fruition. It didn't play out the way we all wanted it to happen — spreading wealth all through the society and blah, blah, blah, and many of the things that people complain about and react to now — but I would argue that a lot of what we were saying in those '90s, and had begun in the '90s with the '90s boom, continued after a temporary pause, for sure.The Dot Com boom was just frothy investment. It crashed, but the companies that come out of that crash are literally trillion-dollar companies dominating the global economy now here on the west coast. That was some of the things we could see happening from the mid-'90s. The world did get connected through the internet, and globalization did, from a lens that's beyond America, we took 800 million peasants living on two bucks a day in China and brought them into the global economy. There's all kinds of positive things of what happened in the last 25 years, depending on how big your lens is.I would say that we've been through a largely successful — clearly some issues, “Oh my gosh, we didn't anticipate social media and that stuff,” but in general, the world that we were actually starting to envision in the '90s came about, at some level — with some flaws, and some issues, and we could have done better, but I'm saying now I think AI is bigger than the internet. I think the idea that humans are now working side-by-side with intelligent machines and being augmented by intelligent machines is a world historical event that is going to go beyond just connecting everybody on the planet through the internet, which is kind of what the '90s was, and the early Digital Revolution.This is a bigger deal, and I do think this transformation has the potential to be way bigger too. If we manage it right — including how we did it positively or negatively in the last 25, 30 years off the '90s — if we do this right, we could really pull off what I think is a reinvention of America and a much better world going beyond this. That's not a prediction that we're going to do that, but I think we certainly have the potential there.While I was preparing for our chat, I recalled a podcast I did with Marc Andreessen where we discussed AI — not just its potential to solve big problems and drive progress, but also about the obstacles, especially regulatory ones. He pointed out that those barriers are why we don't have things like widespread nuclear power, let alone fusion reactors.When I asked why he thought we could overcome those barriers this time around, he said we probably won't — that failure should be the baseline because these obstacles are deeply rooted in a risk-averse American society. Now, why isn't that your baseline?My baseline is that America — again, I'm taking a bigger lens here, which is we periodically come to these junctures in history in which you could say, from left and right, there's kind of an ossification of the old system. What happens is the old ways of doing things, the old systems, essentially get kind of stuck, and ossified, and just defunct, and long in the tooth, and all different ways you can describe it. But what happens at these junctures — and it happened coming off World War II, it happened after the Civil War, I happened after in the Founding Era too, coming off the colonial world — there is an incredible period of explosion of progress, essentially, and they usually are about 25 years, which is why I'm thinking about the next 25 years.I think we Americans tend to reset the clock in which we get in these dead ends, we get in these old patterns, these old systems, and the things are all falling apart, it's not working. And then there is a kind of a can-do reinvention phase that, frankly, is beyond Europe now. The great hope of the West is still going to be America here. But I think we're actually entering it and I think this is what's happening, and . . . I've read your book, The Conservative Futurist, I would call myself more of a “Progressive Futurist,” but I would say both left and right in this country have gone too extreme. The right is critiquing “government can't do anything right,” and the left is critiquing “the market, corporations can't do anything right.”The actual American framework is the Hamiltonian government, coming off Lincoln's government, the FDR government. There is a role for government, a vigorous kind of government presence that can drive change, but there's also a great role for the market too.There's this center left and center right that has now got to recalibrate for this next era of America. I think because the old system — and from the right, the old system might be big bureaucratic government that was born out of World War II, the great welfare state bureaucracies, also the Pax Americana. Trump is kind of banging against, dismantling that old thing that's been going for 80 years and, frankly, is kind of run out of steam. It's not really working. But the left is also coming out, carbon energy, and drilling for oil, and industrial pollution, and all that other stuff that was coming off of that scaling of the 20th century economy is also not working for the 21st century. We've also got to dismantle those systems. But together, looking forward, you could imagine a complete reinvention around these new technologies. AI is a huge one. Without question, the first among equals it's going to be the game changer around every field, every industry.Also clean energy technologies, I would argue, are just hitting the point of tipping points of scale that we could imagine a shift in the energy foundation. We could see abundant clean energy, including nuclear. I think there's a new re-appreciation of nuclear coming even from left-of-center, but also potential fusion on the horizon.I also think bioengineering is something that we haven't really got our heads into, but in terms of the long-term health of the planet, and all kinds of synthetic biology, and all kinds of things that are happening, we are now past the tipping point, and we know how to do this.I think there's three world historic technologies that America could get reinvented around in the next 25 years. I think the old system, left and right, is now done with this old thing that isn't working, but that opens up the potential for the future. So yes, what Andreessen's talking about is the late stage of the last gummed-up system that wasn't working. For that matter, the same thing from the left is complaining about the inequality, and the old system isn't working now the way it was, circulating wealth through society. But I think there's a way to reinvent that and I actually think we're on the verge of doing it, and that's what I'm trying to do for my project, my book, my Substack stuff.American risk tolerance (11:15)I think there is an elite on the right-of-center tech and the left-of-center tech that sees the same commonalities about the potential of the technology, but also the potential for transformation going forward, that would be healthy. Do you feel that there's enough ferment happening that, institutionally, there will be enough space for these technologies to flourish as you hope? That the first time that there's a problem with an AI model where people die because some system failed, we're not going to be like, “We need to pause AI.” That the next time with one of these restarted nuclear reactors, if there's some minor problem, we're not going to suddenly panic and say, “That's it, nuclear is gone again.” Do you think we have that kind of societal resilience to deal? I think we've had too little of that, but do you think there's enough now, for the reasons you're talking about, that we will continue to push forward?I think there's absolutely the chance that can happen. Now, like Andreessen said, it's not a prediction like, “Oh, this will be fine, it's all going to work out.” We could also go the way of Europe, which is we could get over-regulated, over-ossified, go back to the old days, be this nice tourist spot that, whatever, we look at our old buildings and stuff and we figure out a way to earn a living, but it's just getting more and more and more in the past. That's also a possibility, and I suppose if you had to bet, maybe that's the greater possibility, in default.But I don't think that's going to happen because I do believe more in America. I'm also living in Northern California here. I'm surrounded for the last 30 years, people are just jam packed with new ideas. There's all kinds of s**t happening here. It's just an explosive moment right now. We are attracting the best and the brightest from all over the country, all over the world. There is no other place in the world, bar none, around AI than San Francisco right now, and you cannot be here and not just get thrilled at the possibility of what's happening. Now, does that mean that we're going to be able to pull this off through the whole country, through the whole world? I don't know, there is a lot of ambiguity there and this is why you can't predict the future with certainty.But I do believe we have the potential here to rebuild fundamentally. I think there is an elite on the right-of-center tech and the left-of-center tech that sees the same commonalities about the potential of the technology, but also the potential for transformation going forward, that would be healthy. For example, I know Andreessen, you talk about Andreessen . . . I was also rooted in the whole Obama thing, there was a ton of tech people in the Obama thing, and now there's a ton of tech people who are kind of tech-right, but it's all kind of washes together. It's because we all see the potential of these technologies just emerging in front of us. The question is . . . how do you get the systems to adapt?Now, to be fair, California, yes, it's been gummed up with regulations and overthink, but on the other hand, it's opened itself up. It just went through historic shifts in rolling back environmental reviews and trying to drive more housing by refusing to let the NIMBY shut it down. There's a bunch of things that even the left-of-center side is trying to deal with this gummed-up system, and the right-of-center side is doing their version of it in DC right now.Anyhow, the point is, we see the limits on both left-of-center and right-of-center of what's currently happening and what has happened. The question is, can we get aligned on a relatively common way forward, which is what America did coming off the war for 25 years, which is what happened after the Civil War. There were issues around the Reconstruction, but there was a kind of explosive expansion around American progress in the 25 years there. And we did it off the Revolution too. There are these moments where left-of-center and right-of-center align and we kind of build off of a more American set of values: pluralism, meritocracy, economic growth, freedom, personal freedom, things that we all can agree on, it's just they get gummed up in these old systems and these old ideologies periodically and we've just got to blow through them and try something different. I think the period we're in right now.Facing AI pessimism (15:38)The world of AI is so foreign to them, it's so bizarre to them, it's so obscure to them, that they're reacting off it just like any sensible human being. You're scared of a thing you don't get.I feel like you are very optimistic.Yes, that is true.I like to think that I am very optimistic. I think we're both optimistic about what these technologies can do to make this country and this world a richer world, a more sustainable world, a healthier world, create more opportunity. I think we're on the same page. So it's sad to me that I feel like I've been this pessimistic so far throughout our conversation and this next question, unfortunately, will be in that vein.Okay, fair enough.I have a very clear memory of the '90s tech boom, and the excitement, and this is the most excited I've been since then, but I know some people aren't excited, and they're not excited about AI. They think AI means job loss, it means a dehumanization of society where we only interact with screens, and they think all the gains from any added economic growth will only go to the super rich, and they're not excited about it.My concern is that the obvious upsides will take long enough to manifest that the people who are negative, and the downsides — because there will be downsides with any technology or amazing new tool, no matter how amazing it is — that our society will begin to focus on the downsides, on, “Oh, this company let go of these 50 people in their marketing department,” and that's what will be the focus, and we will end up overregulating it. There will be pressure on companies, just like there's pressure on film companies not to use AI in their special effects or in their advertising, that there will be this anti-AI, anti-technology backlash — like we've seen with trade — because what I think are the obvious upsides will take too long to manifest. That is one of my concerns.I agree with that. That is a concern. In fact, right now if you look at the polling globally, about a third of Americans are very negative and down on AI, about a third are into AI, and about a third, don't what the hell what to make of it. But if you go to China, and Japan, and a lot of Asian countries, it's like 60 percent, 70 percent positive about AI. You go to Europe and it's similar to the US, if not worse, meaning there is a pessimism.To be fair, from a human planet point of view, the West has had a way privileged position in the last 250 years in terms of the wealth creation, in terms of the spoils of globalization, and the whole thing. So you could say — which is not a popular thing to say in America right now — that with globalization in the last 25 years, we actually started to rectify, from a global point of view, a lot of these inequities in ways that, from the long view, is not a bad thing to happen, that everybody in the planet gets lifted up and we can move forward as eight billion people on the planet.I would say so there is a negativity in the West because they're coming off a kind of an era that they were always relatively privileged. There is this kind of baked-in “things are getting worse” feeling for a lot of people. That's kind of adding to this pessimism, I think. That's a bad thing.My next book, which is coming out with Harper Collins and we just cracked the contract on that, I got a big advance —Hey, congratulations.But the whole idea of this book is kind of trying to create a new grand narrative of what's possible now, in the next 25 years, based on these new technologies and how we could reorganize the economy and society in ways that would work better for everybody. The reason I'm kind of trying to wrap this up, and the early pieces of this are in my Substack series of these essays I'm writing, is because I think what's missing right now is people can't see the new way forward. That's the win-win way forward. They actually are only operating on this opaque thing. The world of AI is so foreign to them, it's so bizarre to them, it's so obscure to them, that they're reacting off it just like any sensible human being. You're scared of a thing you don't get.What's interesting about this, and again what's useful, is I went through this exact same thing in the '90s. It's a little bit different, and I'll tell you the differentiation in a minute, but basically back in the '90s when I was working at the early stage with the founders of WIRED magazine, it was the early days of WIRED, basically meaning the world didn't know what email was, what the web was, people were saying there's no way people would put their credit cards on the internet, no one's going to buy anything on there, you had to start with square one. What was interesting about it is they didn't understand what's possible. A lot of the work I was doing back then at WIRED, but also with my first book then, went into multiple languages, all kinds of stuff, was trying to explain from the mid-'90s, what the internet and the Digital Revolution tied with globalization might look like in a positive way to the year 2020, which is a 25-year lookout.That was one of the popularities of the book, and the articles I was doing on that, and the talks I was doing — a decade speaking on this thing — because people just needed to see it: “Oh! This is what it means when you connect up everybody! Oh! I could see myself in my field living in a world where that works. Oh, actually, the trade of with China might work for my company, blah, blah, blah.” People could kind of start to see it in a way that they couldn't in the early to mid-'90s. They were just like, “I don't even know, what's an Amazon? Who cares if they're selling books on it? I don't get it.” But you could rough it out from a technological point of view and do that.I think it's the same thing now. I think we need do this now. We have to say, “Hey dudes, you working with AI is going to make you twice as productive. You're going to make twice as much money.” The growth rate of the economy — and you're good with this with your Up Wing stuff. I'm kind of with you on that. It could be like we're all actually making more money, more wealth pulsing through society. Frankly, we're hurting right now in terms of, we don't have enough bodies doing stuff and maybe we need some robots. There's a bunch of ways that you could reframe this in a bigger way that people could say, “Oh, maybe I could do that better,” and in a way that I think I saw the parallels back there.Now the one difference now, and I'll tell you the one difference between the '90s, and I mentioned this earlier, in the '90s, everybody thought these goofy tech companies and stuff were just knucklehead things. They didn't understand what they were. In fact, if anything, the problem was the opposite. You get their attention to say, “Hey, this Amazon thing is a big deal,” or “This thing called Google is going to be a big thing.” You couldn't even get them focused on that. It took until about the 20-teens, 2012, -13, -14 till these companies got big enough.So now everybody's freaked out about the tech because they're these giant gargantuan things, these trillion-dollar companies with global reach in ways that, in the '90s, they weren't. So there is a kind of fear-factor baked into tech. The last thing I'll say about that, though, is I know I've learned one thing about tech is over the years, and I still believe it's true today, that the actual cutting-edge of technology is not done in the legacy companies, even these big legacy tech companies, although they'll still be big players, is that the actual innovation is going to happen on the edges through startups and all that other thing, unless I'm completely wrong, which I doubt. That's been the true thing of all these tech phases. I think there's plenty of room for innovation, plenty of room for a lot of people to be tapped into this next wave of innovation, and also wealth creation, and I think there is a way forward that I think is going to be less scary than people right now think. It's like they think that current tech setup is going to be forever and they're just going to get richer, and richer, and richer. Well, if they were in the '90s, those companies, Facebook didn't exist, Google didn't exist, Amazon didn't exist. Just like we all thought, “Oh, IBM is going to run everything,” it's like, no. These things happen at these junctures, and I think we're in another one of the junctures, so we've got to get people over this hump. We've got to get them to see, “Hey, there's a win-win way forward that America can be revitalized, and prosperous, and wealth spread.”The bioengineering breakthrough (24:24)Just like we had industrial production in the Industrial Revolution that scaled great wealth and created all these products off of that we could have a bio-economy, a biological revolution . . .I think that's extraordinarily important, giving people an idea of what can be, and it's not all negative. You've talked a little bit about AI, people know that's out there and they know that some people think it's going to be big. Same thing with clean energy.To me, of your three transformer technologies, the one we I think sometimes hear less about right now is bioengineering. I wonder if you could just give me a little flavor of what excites you about that.It is on a delay. Clean energy has been going for a while here and is starting to scale on levels that you can see the impact of solar, the impact of electric cars and all kinds stuff, particularly from a global perspective. Same thing with AI, there's a lot of focus on that, but what's interesting about bioengineering is there were some world historic breakthroughs basically in the last 25 years.One is just cracking the human genome and driving the cost down to, it's like a hundred bucks now to get anybody's genome processed. That's just crazy drop in price from $3 million on the first one 20 years ago to like a hundred bucks now. That kind of dramatic change. Then the CRISPR breakthrough, which is essentially we can know how to cheaply and easily edit these genomes. That's a huge thing. But it's not just about the genomics. It's essentially we are understanding biology to the point where we can now engineer living things.Just think about that: Human beings, we've been in the Industrial Revolution, everything. We've learned how to engineer inert things, dig up metals, and blah, blah, blah, blah, and engineer a thing. We didn't even know how living things worked, or we didn't even know what DNA was until the 1950s, right? The living things has been this opaque world that we have no idea. We've crossed that threshold. We now understand how to engineer living things, and it's not just the genetic engineering. We can actually create proteins. Oh, we can grow cultured meat instead of waiting for the cow to chew the grass to make the meat, we can actually make it into that and boom, we know how it works.This breakthrough of engineering living things is only now starting to kind of dawn on everyone . . . when you talk about synthetic biology, it's essentially man-made biology, and that breakthrough is huge. It's going to have a lot of economic implications because, across this century, it depends how long it takes to get past the regulation, and get the fear factor of people, which is higher than even AI, probably, around genetic engineering and cloning and all this stuff. Stem cells, there's all kinds of stuff happening in this world now that we could essentially create a bio-economy. Just like we had industrial production in the Industrial Revolution that scaled great wealth and created all these products off of that we could have a bio-economy, a biological revolution that would allow, instead of creating plastic bottles, you could design biological synthetic bottles that dissolve after two weeks in the ocean from saltwater or exposure to sunlight and things like that. Nature knows how to both create things that work and also biodegrade them back to nothing.There's a bunch of insights that we now can learn from Mother Nature about the biology of the world around us that we can actually design products and services, things that actually could do it and be much more sustainable in terms of the long-term health of the planet, but also could be better for us and has all kinds of health implications, of course. That's where people normally go is think, “Oh my god, we can live longer” and all kinds of stuff. That's true, but also our built world could actually be redesigned using super-hard woods or all kinds of stuff that you could genetically design differently.That's a bigger leap. There's people who are religious who can't think of touching God's work, or a lot of eco-environmentalists like, “Oh, we can't mess with Mother Nature.” There's going to be some issues around that, but through the course of the century, it's going to absolutely happen and I think it could happen in the next 25 years, and that one could actually be a huge thing about recreating essentially a different kind of economy around those kinds of insights.So we've got three world-historic technologies: AI, clean energy, and now bioengineering, and if America can't invent the next system, who the hell is going to do that? You don't want China doing it.Demographic pressure (28:52)We are going to welcome the robots. We are going to welcome the AI, these advanced societies, to create the kind of wealth, and support the older people, and have these long lives.No, I do not. I do not. Two things I find myself writing a lot about are falling birth rates globally, and I also find myself writing about the future of the space economy. Which of those topics, demographic change or space, do you find intellectually more interesting?I think the demographic thing is more interesting. I mean, I grew up in a period where everyone was freaked out about overpopulation. We didn't think the planet would hold enough people. It's only been in the last 10 years that, conventionally, people have kind of started to shift, “Oh my God, we might not have enough people.” Although I must say, in the futurist business, I've been watching this for 30 years and we've been talking about this for a long time, about when it's going to peak humans and then it's going to go down. Here's why I think that's fantastic: We are going to welcome the robots. We are going to welcome the AI, these advanced societies, to create the kind of wealth, and support the older people, and have these long lives. I mean long lives way beyond 80, it could be 120 years at some level. Our kids might live to that.The point is, we're going to need artificial intelligence, and robotics, and all these other things, and also we're going to need, frankly, to move the shrinking number of human beings around the planet, i.e. immigration and cross-migration. We're going to need these things to solve these problems. So I think about this: Americans are practical people. At its core, we're practical people. We're not super ideological. Currently, we kind of think we're ideological, but we're basically common-sense, practical people. So these pressures, the demographic pressures, are going to be one of the reasons I think we are going to migrate to this stuff faster than people think, because we're going to realize, “Holy s**t, we've got to do this.” When social security starts going broke and the boomers are like 80 and 90 and it is like, okay, let alone the young people thinking, “How the hell am I going to get supported?” we're going to start having to create a different kind of economy where we leverage the productivity of the humans through these advanced technologies, AI and robotics, to actually create the kind of world we want to live in. It could be a better world than the world we've got now, than the old 20th-century thing that did a good shot. They lifted the bar from the 19th century to the 20th. Now we've got to lift it in the 21st. It's our role, it's what we do. America, [let's] get our s**t together and start doing it. That's the way I would say it.On sale everywhere The Conservative Futurist: How To Create the Sci-Fi World We Were PromisedFaster, Please! is a reader-supported publication.

Four hundred flights were cancelled by Ryanair, including 170 Irish flights, following two days of Air Traffic Control strikes in France. Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary has said EU Commission President Ursula Von der Leyden should step down “if she's not willing to reform Europe's failed ATC service”. Michael spoke to Newstalk Breakfast this morning.
Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of domestic violence, murder-suicide, and police-perpetrated abuse. Please take care while listening.In this powerful and heartbreaking episode, Bruce Bieber joins us to share the story no parent should ever have to tell — the murder of his daughter, Hillsborough County Sheriff's Deputy Abigail Rose Bieber, by her boyfriend and fellow deputy, Daniel Leyden, in an officer-involved domestic violence (OIDV) murder-suicide in January 2022.Abby had planned to end the relationship during a weekend away in St. Augustine. What neither she nor her family knew was that Leyden had a prior domestic violence history — one that was known to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office but never acted upon meaningfully. When Bruce and his family began asking questions, they were met with silence, deflection, and eventually complete shutdown by HCSO.Bruce shares the gut-wrenching journey from grief to advocacy — his fight to uncover the truth, the betrayal by law enforcement leadership, and his mission to push for mandatory OIDV policies and accountability nationwide.This conversation is not just about Abby. It's about the wider, deeply hidden epidemic of domestic violence committed by those sworn to protect — and the systemic failures that allow it to continue.If you've ever wondered what happens when the abuser wears a badge — this is the episode you need to hear.

We are all Waymo Democrats now. That Was the Week's Keith Teare and I appropriate Thomas Friedman's controversial new term to dream of an American high tech future. Keith and I also talk about last week's interview with Peter Leyden, a founding member of the Waymo Democracy club. Keith might not be altogether convinced by Leyden's thesis about the inevitability of America's 80 year historical cycles, but he nonetheless acknowledges that the Democrats need to “work backwards” to establish a clear vision of a radically reinvented 21st United States. Five Key Takeaways* Peter Layden's optimism about America's reinvention through an 80-year cycle is met with a degree of skepticism from Keith Teare, who believes the challenges of economic reinvention are too great without massive systemic change.* Thomas Friedman's concept of "Waymo Democrats" represents politicians focused on economic progress and innovation rather than cultural wars, which both hosts see as a potential path forward.* Despite previous skepticism, Google posted excellent financial results with a 43% profit increase driven by search, showing successful AI integration despite competition from companies like Perplexity.* YouTube, celebrating its 20th anniversary, is highlighted as Google's most successful acquisition, transforming from a small startup demo at a TechCrunch barbecue to dominating global entertainment.* Keith Teare emphasizes that entrepreneurs must "work backwards from the outcome they want" rather than focusing on day-to-day management, establishing a clear vision that guides development toward a desired end state.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

In contrast with yesterday's guest, the Paris based Financial Times writer Simon Kuper, the newspaper's London based columnist Jemima Kelly hasn't quite given up on the United States of America. Trump, she suggests, might be the end of the line for the MAGA movement. Indeed, like another recent guest on the show, former Wired editor Peter Leyden, Kelly suggests that the Republicans might be flirting with the destruction of their brand for the next political generation. Unlike Leyden, however, Kelly isn't particularly bullish on the future of the Democratic Party, arguing that there is a desperate need for a formal national opposition to Trump's MAGA Republicanism. And in contrast with Leyden, Kelly doesn't see much of an opposition - moral or otherwise - from seemingly spineless tech billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg or Marc Andreessen. 5 Key Takeaways* Kelly is most concerned about Trump's "utter disregard for the legal system and the kind of lawlessness" that characterizes his second administration.* She believes Democrats lack cohesive opposition structure, noting America could benefit from a shadow cabinet system like the UK's to provide clear alternative voices.* Kelly predicts "MAGA is going to finish with Trump" as there's no viable successor who can match his charisma and stage presence.* She criticizes tech leaders like Mark Zuckerberg for capitulating to Trump, questioning how they justify abandoning values for business interests.* Kelly argues that maintaining moral principles is crucial for Democrats, as sinking to Trump's level only erodes institutional trust, which has already been significantly damaged. Full Transcript Andrew Keen: Hello, everybody. It is Wednesday, April the 23rd, 2025. Headlines today remain dominated by Donald Trump. Every story above the fold, at least above the digital fold in the Financial Times, seems to be about him. Yesterday, we talked to FT columnist Simon Cooper, a Dutchman living in Paris, who had an interesting piece earlier this week suggesting Americans should move to Europe, indicating the American dream was over. Cooper seemed to relish this news. Today, we're talking to another FT columnist, Jemima Kelly. She's based in northeast London, in Hackney, and she's talking to us today from the FT offices in the heart of London City. Jemima, what's your take on Simon's column this week? Is it indeed time for most Americans to move to Europe?Jemima Kelly: I thought it was a very interesting column. I'm particularly interested in this idea that you discussed on your show about the brain drain that has been going in the direction of America and that might start to come back in the other direction, which I hadn't really properly considered before in those terms. But I must say that I'm not really a fan of encouraging people to all be digital nomads. He's actually followed it up with a piece today about how to be a digital nomad in Paris. I'm not really a fan of that kind of lifestyle because I think that it means people aren't particularly invested in their local communities, and I think it makes a bit of a crappy neighborhood if everyone is just working their own jobs. The dream of earning a US salary while working remotely living in Europe—I'm just like, please don't do that because then we're just importing inequality.Andrew Keen: Although to be fair, was Simon actually saying that?Jemima Kelly: I think he did say that the ultimate life, the ultimate arbitrage was doing that. And it's true, it is the ultimate arbitrage. It's just not one that I would particularly want people to pursue. It's like the Airbnb culture—it's destroyed a lot of cities and priced out local people, meaning certain cities you visit have no locals, just tourists, which is quite crap as a tourist.Andrew Keen: I guess the other critique of Simon's piece, which is an extension of yours, is for Americans who don't like Trump—and there are many, including myself—it's not time to move to Europe. It's not time to retreat. It is time to stay and fight and try to change America. So there's no reason why you have to shift. Jemima, you're a columnist at what you call on your X account "Friends of the Deep State" (FT). I'm using you as the voice of the European deep state. What's the take from London on Trump on April 23, 2025? It's so hard to make any sense of it. In a meta sense, in a structural sense, what's your take on what's happening?Jemima Kelly: I'm going to answer that in three parts. First, the "Friends of the Deep State" is obviously a reference to Liz Truss, who referred to the FT as the deep state.Andrew Keen: I want to come on to Truss later, another rather clownish character, your version of Donald Trump.Jemima Kelly: Yes, Britain's proudest export. Second, I would probably not want to speak for Europe or Britain. Maybe I can start by saying what I think the mood is.Andrew Keen: You live in Hackney in northeast London, so maybe you can speak on behalf of Hackney. What's the take on Trump from Hackney?Jemima Kelly: Just utter dismay. And I mean, I would say that's probably the mood I'm getting, even from people who thought there was too much hyperbole used about Trump in the run-up to his election. I didn't think comparisons to Hitler were particularly helpful.Andrew Keen: You're not alone. We've had that conversation many times on the show. I strongly agree with you.Jemima Kelly: So while there were people who were very hysterical about the idea of a Trump 2.0 being worse than the first time, I think so far, it does seem kind of worse, doesn't it?Andrew Keen: I'm asking you.Jemima Kelly: I would say there is a sense that things are quite scary at the moment. I think what I personally find most worrying, and that many balanced people are talking about, is the utter disregard for the courts and the rule of law. I was amazed looking at Truth Social earlier. I saw a post from Trump about an alleged MS-13 gang member.Andrew Keen: The Venezuelan who was illegally extradited or seized and taken to El Salvador.Jemima Kelly: I think this guy is actually Salvadoran. Trump has posted a picture of an alleged knuckle tattoo with four symbols which some people have extrapolated to mean MS-13. It's very obviously just computer-generated text superimposed on the image. Trump has posted it and appears to believe this is actually tattooed onto the man's knuckles, using that as justification. I think the utter disregard for the legal system and the lawlessness of Trump 2.0 is for me the most disturbing aspect because where does that end? It's just utter chaos.I might write this week about how Trump sees the world as just deal-making and transactions. The ends will always justify the means. He's openly saying he's going to keep pushing as hard as he can to get what he wants. But his followers, who are constantly rushing to justify everything he does, including his vice president, are glorifying the means themselves, which Trump himself doesn't even really believe in. People are willing to take what he says at face value and make it happen, like Vance going to Greenland on this supposed visit.Andrew Keen: You said in an excellent column earlier this month that Vance has "the zeal of the convert" and that's the problem.Jemima Kelly: Yes, because he once called Trump "America's Hitler."Andrew Keen: And he didn't mean it in a complimentary way.Jemima Kelly: I don't think he did.Andrew Keen: So, Jemima, stand back a little. Simon noted that he'd always believed in America growing up. A lot of his friends went to America. You're a slightly younger generation from Simon. When you graduated from university, did a lot of your friends go to America? Did you ever think maybe you should go to America as a singer or a journalist?Jemima Kelly: Did any of my friends? It's quite difficult as a British person going to America. Quite a few of my friends have ended up there, particularly in LA for some reason. I almost moved to New York with my previous employer, Reuters, and have considered it, but wanted to stay in London. I love America; it's a completely amazing and fascinating place. But it does feel like people I speak to at the moment are feeling concerned. Someone in New Orleans told me that when conservative columnists in the New York Times are writing that it's time for some kind of uprising...Andrew Keen: That was David Brooks. And Simon wrote about a friend of his in Georgia who said he couldn't even go out because he was scared to bump into Trump people.Jemima Kelly: I saw that. That's not how I personally believe that divisions should be handled. The idea that you shouldn't go out because you might bump into some Trump fans—I don't know about that.Andrew Keen: I couldn't agree more. Your last column, in the spirit of Easter, was titled "It's the hope that saves you." It was a broader column, not just about America. But do you still have a vestige, a glimmer of hope in America? Have you given up?Jemima Kelly: Oh, God, yes, I still have hope. I am an optimist. But I also believe that being optimistic and hopeful, which as I explain in the column are slightly different things, gives you a higher chance of things going well. If you don't resort to cynicism and nihilism, which I don't think is particularly helpful.Another column I would like to write in the coming weeks is that I am becoming convinced that MAGA is going to finish with Trump. There is no MAGA after Trump. One thing that convinced me of this was listening to the "Triggered" podcast with Donald Trump Jr. I tried to listen to a range of podcasts, some more painful than others, and I listened to a full episode the other day and couldn't believe the level of imbecility.Andrew Keen: Well, we know what you mean anyway, even if that isn't the word.Jemima Kelly: And he's the best friend of the vice president, who's supposedly this genius.Andrew Keen: I'm sure in a year or two JD will have moved on to other "best friends."Jemima Kelly: Maybe, but I think they've been friends for a while. The thing with Trump is that he masks so much with his charisma and stage presence and what he calls "flexibility," not U-turning. And his people skills. Then you get the distilled version of him without all of that, and it's just so painfully bad and unpersuasive. There's no successor. Vance is the only one who the bookies currently have as the favorite, but that's because there's no leader on the other side; we don't know who the Democratic leader is.Andrew Keen: Peter Leyden, who was on the show a few days ago, the former editor-in-chief of Wired, believes that Trump is essentially destroying the Republican brand for a generation. It does provide an opportunity for the Democrats in the long term, although the Democrats probably have many problems of their own. Do you agree that ultimately the Republican brand has been decimated and is headed for 20 or 30 years of political isolation?Jemima Kelly: I think what they have going for them is that MAGA has its own name—there was always the MAGA part of the Republican Party and then the "other part" and the RINOs. Now they have somewhat merged, but I imagine that will start to separate if the Trump project keeps doing as badly as it seems to be. But it doesn't feel like there's any separation now between Trump and the institutions that are supposedly independent, with the Fed being an exception despite his saying he'd terminate Powell and then claiming the press made a big deal of it. It does feel like it will be difficult for Republicans to extricate themselves from Trump. There isn't anyone standing up and being vocally anti-Trump on that side at the moment.Andrew Keen: You noted that your satirical X profile "Friends of the Deep State" was borrowed from Liz Truss, who made a fool of herself and now is in political exile. Can we learn anything from the Truss fiasco? It seems to me as if Trump a couple of weeks ago on the bond front was, so to speak, "Trussed"—the market spoke and he had to retreat. Can we learn anything from recent British political or economic history to make sense of what's happening in the US, particularly in terms of Truss, who was humiliated by the markets?Jemima Kelly: Trump has the advantage of shamelessness, doesn't he?Andrew Keen: So you're saying that Liz Truss is not shameless?Jemima Kelly: That's a very good point. You could see the embarrassment on her face. Maybe that is just my projection of how I would feel.Andrew Keen: For people just listening, it's a picture of Liz Truss in New York with a MAGA hat on looking like a complete idiot.Jemima Kelly: Just before the inauguration saying, "It can't come soon enough."Andrew Keen: And she says "the West needs it," whatever that means.Jemima Kelly: She's constantly "saving the West." She was at a Bitcoin conference last weekend giving a speech on saving the West. It's really exciting that we have such capable hands to save the West.Andrew Keen: Especially at the Bitcoin conference.Jemima Kelly: Exactly. They're the real people to do it. What can we learn from Truss? What we can learn, and this takes us into the Democrats, is that a few people have floated the idea that America should have some form of shadow cabinet. One of the reasons that Truss lasted for only 42 days—less than the lettuce—was that we have such a vocal opposition in this country. It's very clear who the spokesperson is from the opposing party. So when a journalist is writing a story about Truss's mini budget, right away, you've got the shadow chancellor to tell you why it's a terrible idea. In America, it's not so clear, and I think that's a disadvantage.Andrew Keen: You wrote an excellent column in the last month on why America needs a "serious opposition."Jemima Kelly: It really opened my eyes, this idea of the shadow cabinet. Obviously, the government has a different structure in the US, and it's not a monarchy, etc. But the idea of some form—even if just in name only—if the Democrats were able to put forward a representative for each of the major government departments, it would help. It made me think that American media often sees itself as "the resistance"—the media is the resistance. I feel like our job is to report the news. Too often it feels like the media was trying to stop Trump from getting reelected or trying to hide that Biden was too old for another four years. The media is far too often doing the work that an opposition should be doing.It dawned on me that this is partly because of the lack of structure that we have with the constant back and forth. As a journalist, rather than having to explain why the Liz Truss mini-budget was bad, you've got someone on the other side to tell you. The Democrats are in disarray. Usually, there's nothing like a common enemy to unite you, and Trump should be that. Amid the tariffs, the trade war, the deportation of immigrants, threats to deport others to horrific Salvadoran prisons—if there were a time to be united, it would be now. This is peak Trump fear, and yet the Democrats have record low approval ratings among their supporters. A Gallup poll showed Republican approval of their congressmen is at 76 percent while Democrats are at 39 percent among Democrats. There is a real void of cohesive or coherent opposition.Andrew Keen: You've been quite critical of the Democrats. Back in July, you talked about the "Biden debacle" and the absurdity of a man clearly out of his depth. But you've also written more recently about Democrats not abandoning their morals. When historians look back, how much of a debacle was the Biden regime? Will it be seen as the trigger that enabled Trump 2.0, or would these things be seen separately?Jemima Kelly: I don't think it was Biden's administration; I think it was the cover-up of his physical decline.Andrew Keen: I wasn't surprised by that debate he had with Trump. He clearly was way beyond his shelf life. It was self-evident if you watched interviews with him.Jemima Kelly: It was already evident. I got into trouble for talking about this before the 2020 election because he had gotten the name of an interviewer wrong, and fact-checking organizations rushed in to say he hadn't. They were lying on his behalf, which shocked me.Andrew Keen: Does that make Trump's point on Truth Social that the media is really the Democratic party, or the two are inseparable?Jemima Kelly: It's funny because every time I've written about this, I've gotten pushback. I was the first "ritual sacrifice" on BlueSky a few months ago because I dared to say it was an echo chamber. Apparently, I implied that I wanted more Nazis on BlueSky, which is obviously sarcasm. One thing I find interesting—if you type "New York Times" into BlueSky, you'll get people complaining about how pro-Trump they are or how they're "both-sides-ists." If you type "New York Times" into X, you'll get people complaining about how anti-Trump they are and how it's just an extension of the Democratic Party.I think there's something like 3-4% of American journalists who vote Republican, so clearly, the media does lean left or Democrat. Trump is now letting really marginal right-wing news outlets into his briefings, which in some ways I don't think is all bad. I think it would be good to have a more balanced media.Andrew Keen: You wrote a good piece in December, "Democrats must not abandon their morals," which I guess goes without saying. There are still morals in the Republican party. Well, certainly ex-Republicans like David Brooks and Peter Wehner seem to be the most convincingly moral Americans. But that's another issue. What advice would you give the Democrats? On one hand, you've got a civil war within the party between its left—Bernie Sanders and AOC—versus centrists. They agree on almost nothing apart from being in the same big tent party. What advice would you give Democrats?Jemima Kelly: I don't feel in a position to give advice.Andrew Keen: What would you like to see then?Jemima Kelly: Just to be clear about the "Democrats shouldn't abandon their morals" column, that was written after Biden pardoned his son Hunter, which I found uncool. I hate that. I was arguing that if you're going to talk about how immoral the Trump project is and how full of lies it is—and it is all those things—then you have to show that you're better. I felt that was a failure during the first Trump term.I think outlets like the New York Times are doing better this time around. But there was an op-ed written after the first Trump victory about how objectivity needed to be abandoned, like there was a new game to play. I think that's really short-termist and will set a terrible precedent. Trump has come in again on the back of a massive loss of trust in institutions, which was already happening but was made worse by COVID—all the debates about origins, vaccines, etc. That chipped away at trust in science, government, and institutions in general.I write a lot about virtue and honor. I just wrote about hope. I don't think we think about values enough. Only the right in America seems to talk about religion. I'm not even a Christian myself—I was raised Catholic but don't consider myself that anymore—but I feel that values and morality aren't spoken about enough. The Democrats need to take the high ground. They were pulling up placards saying "Lie" at Trump's address to Congress, wearing colors to represent protest. AOC was doing videos saying "choose your fighter," trying to appeal to young people. It was all so cringe and inauthentic. When Trump is being seen as authentic, and Bernie Sanders, who does come across as authentic, there's such a vacuum of authenticity.Andrew Keen: You noted that one of the reasons why Trump is so successful is his eccentricity. That's one of his attractive qualities. A couple of quick questions before we go. You're at the FT, so you're supposed to understand the global economy. Back in September, you talked about America's crypto election. I have a nagging suspicion that crypto might be one of the things that ultimately blows up Trump. There is a lot of fraud within the administration on crypto, with some people making vast fortunes. Trump or his administration is in bed with the Bitcoin bros. What do you make of this association? Because Trump historically has always been ambivalent about crypto. Is this a sideshow or could it become the main show?Jemima Kelly: I don't think it could become the main show just because crypto is still not systemically important enough. If we compare it to the trade war, it pales in comparison in terms of numbers. The IMF downgrading forecasts by one percentage point for the US—that is far more likely to bring down Trump economically.Andrew Keen: Could we be seeing a restructuring of the global financial economy where crypto becomes an alternative to the Fed, given Trump's hostility towards the Fed?Jemima Kelly: God, no, not in my opinion. My ultimate point with crypto—and by the way, people who believe in Bitcoin (and I use the word "believe" deliberately because I do regard it as a belief system) think that Bitcoin is different from other crypto because it's the first one and will only have 21 million coins ever minted. But these are just strings of digits. Then someone comes along and says, "oh no, Bitcoin and Ethereum," and someone else adds Dogecoin as well.These aren't companies like the S&P 500 where there's a finite list. Each of these coins does absolutely nothing, and there's no limit to the number that can exist. I could speak about crypto for hours, but I always come back to the fact that there is no scarcity. Bitcoiners hate when I say this because they claim Bitcoin is different. There is no limit to the number of cryptocurrencies that can exist. If you look at CoinMarketCap.com, they used to count how many cryptocurrencies there were, but I think it got embarrassing because the counter disappeared. There are tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands at this point. How can there be value when there's no scarcity?Andrew Keen: I hope you're right on that front. Finally, you've been very critical of Silicon Valley and big tech. You wrote a piece recently on Mark Zuckerberg caving into Trump. Zuckerberg caved in, Bezos appears to have with the Washington Post, some law firms have, some haven't. Do you think this will come back to haunt opportunists like Zuckerberg? Is it in the interest, not just moral but economic, of American business leaders, university leaders, and heads of law firms to stand up to all this nonsense?Jemima Kelly: I think so, yes. We have so glorified wealth that people only seem to think value exists in financial terms. If I were Mark Zuckerberg, I would care about what people thought of me, but that's even superficial. I would care about being able to sleep well at night. I don't know how these people justify it.I heard a Mark Andreessen podcast a few months ago where he said, "The one thing people don't understand about billionaires is they don't care about money. They just want people to like them." I thought that was really interesting, but it doesn't seem to match their actions.Andrew Keen: Well, we probably should end. I'm not sure if you've written any columns on Musk, but he seems to represent all of this. He's clearly distancing himself from Trump, just as Trump is distancing himself from Musk. Are we beginning to see the end of this love affair between the Musks and the Andreessens with Trump?Jemima Kelly: It's interesting because Musk was supposedly the savior of electric cars, but the current-day Musk would be so skeptical of electric cars. It's weird that he was that guy and now has to keep being that guy to a certain extent because it's his brand. I think he's been radicalized by people not liking him, and he's being pushed further into this corner because he wants to feel part of a tribe. Now he feels like he fits in at Mar-a-Lago and hangs out with Trump.Do I think that's the end of their relationship? It's hard to know. I wouldn't be surprised if they did fall out quite soon. But they're both very strange people, aren't they?Andrew Keen: To put it mildly. You've got a big picture of the two of them in a Tesla on the cover of the Financial Times. I think they're both secretly fans of Millwall Football Club with their famous song "Nobody Loves Us, We Don't Care."Jemima Kelly: What?Andrew Keen: I'm joking, but maybe the same is true of Donald Trump and certainly Elon Musk.Jemima Kelly: They care so much. That's what's funny. Trump cares more than anyone about people loving him. I think that's what drives him. He really wants to be seen as a good president, which comforts me when things are going badly because I think he wants people to love him. He really wants the Nobel Peace Prize, which is hilarious, but he does want that.Andrew Keen: Well, one thing we've resolved today is that Donald Trump is not a fan of Millwall Football Club. He wants everybody to love him. He does care if they don't. Jemima, I know you don't really care because you're someone who will always say what you think. We'll have to get you back on the show for The View from London. Not an eccentric view, but an irreverent view. Thank you so much, Jemima Kelly, columnist of the FT. We will have you back on the show. Keep well.Jemima Kelly: Thank you, you too. This is a public episode.

Is America screwed? Not according to the former managing editor of Wired, Peter Leyden. The creator of the Substack newsletter The Great Progression, Leyden believes that U.S. history operates in 80 year cycles and that America, empowered by Northern Californian technology, is gearing up for another remarkable period of innovation. Leyden is no MAGA fanboy, but argues that Trump is enabling the American future by destroying the Republican brand and unintentionally guaranteeing a longterm Democratic majority. It's a provocative thesis which I hope is true. But what about China? And can we really trust Silicon Valley's tech titans to make America great again? 5 Takeaways* Leyden believes America cycles through major reinventions approximately every 80 years, with previous transformations occurring after the Constitutional Convention, Civil War, and World War II.* He argues that post-WWII systems (welfare state, Pax Americana) are outdated and that Trump's presidency is accelerating their necessary dismantling.* Leyden sees an opportunity for progressives to rebuild American systems using AI, clean energy and bioengineering in more efficient, effective ways.* Leyden references economic historian Carlota Perez's theory that technological revolutions move from "Gilded Ages" (concentrated wealth/power) to "Golden Ages" (distributed benefits) through democratic intervention.* Leyden positions the US-China competition, particularly in AI development, as a fundamental contest between democratic and authoritarian approaches to organizing society with new technologies.Peter Leyden is a tech expert and thought leader on artificial intelligence, climate technologies and a more positive future through his keynote speaking, writing and advising. Leyden currently is the creator of The Great Progression: 2025 to 2050, which is a series of keynote talks, Substack essays, and his next book on our new potential to harness AI and other transformative technologies to create a much better world. He also is the founder of Reinvent Futures, advising senior leaders in strategic foresight and the impacts of these new technologies. Since coming to San Francisco to work with the founders of WIRED to start The Digital Age, he has followed the front edge of technological change and built an extraordinary network of pioneering innovators in Silicon Valley.

InsTech, has launched its "State of Irish Insurtech Report 2024, to position Ireland as a global centre for insurance innovation, where industry giants and start-ups can come together to collaborate and create the next generation of insurance solutions. The findings of the new report were presented to Minister of State for Financial Services, Credit Unions and Insurance, Neale Richmond in a productive meeting on the potential for the sector. As the independent, neutral convener InsTech.ie plays a pivotal role in Ireland becoming a leader for insurance technology and insurance innovation. It champions Irish Insurtechs, supporting them to scale into international markets, by building awareness of the depth and breadth of insurance innovation emerging from Ireland. Founding members include AA, Allianz, Aviva, Axa, FBD, Irish Life, VHI, Laya, Scor, Unum and RSA/123.ie. One of the first activities InsTech.ie conducted back in 2022 was the mapping of the indigenous Insurtechs in Ireland. Each year InsTech updates this map and it has now grown to 114 Insurtechs. To coincide with the release of the latest version of the map, InsTech.ie conducted a survey of Irish Insurtechs to gain a better understanding of the landscape in Ireland and learn more about how it can support them to scale and encourage better, stronger collaboration across the ecosystem. On receiving the report Minister for State at the Department of Finance, Neale Richmond said, "Innovation in the Insurtech sector has the potential to pass on huge benefits to customers. Ireland hosts all of the world's top 10 global software companies and 11 of the top 15 global insurers. With a strong track record in both insurance and technology, Ireland has all of the elements to create a powerful cluster of insurance innovation and is a natural hub for the next wave of disruptive Insurtech firms. This InsTech report gives us a framework to explore the opportunities." On the launch of the report InsTech.ie CEO Gary Leyden said, "We have seen huge growth in the number and funding of Insurtech startups in Ireland and it has the potential to be a global centre for insurance innovation . The main finding of the survey this year is that there is an acknowledgement between incumbents and startups in the insurance sector that they can work together to a greater extent and have an increasing appetite to do so. This has the potential to deliver better experiences to consumers. " Leyden added, "InsTech.ie will be the forum to encourage greater innovation and we will be announcing more initiatives to support incumbents and startups collaborate and innovate together in the coming months." Some key findings of the survey in the report include: Background of Founders: 39% of founders came from an insurance background. Interestingly, a greater number of respondents stated that they came from a non-financial services background. Ambition: 90 percent Insurtech startups are seeking to enter into new markets. Challenges: Founders listed "resistance to change" as the main barriers to implementing technological innovations in the insurance industry. Potential for innovation: 68.7percent of stakeholders surveyed said emerging technologies (e.g., AI, blockchain) were "essential for innovation and growth." Ireland has witnessed a range of successful startup ventures, with the Irish Insurtech cluster being led by Fineos. Fast-growing companies such as Kota and DOCOsoft are also providing crucial technological solutions for the insurance industry. Working with their large incumbent members and these startups InsTech.ie aims to accelerate further collaboration and innovation in the industry.

We'd love your feedback! What resonated for you in this episode? What do you want more of?What is Officer Involved Domestic Violence? This is an area of advocacy where we have known to be a problem for years and it is unspoken; a “dirty little secret.” Bruce Bieber agreed to share his story as a way to move this issue into the forefront so that change might actually happen.Take care of yourself as you listen to this story.Abigail Rose Bieber, “Abby” to her friends and family, was the first of their three children to move to the Tampa Bay area. In short order, Abby became a Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office Deputy where she served for four years. Both of her brothers are also in law enforcement.The Biebers have always been an incredibly close family and the pull to join their children in Florida was too great to resist so Bruce and Sarah retired and followed their three kids and grandkids to Florida. Seven months after moving to a home 1.5 miles from Abby's house, Bruce and Sarah were planning Abby's funeral. On January 29, 2022, Abby was shot three times in the head by Detective Daniel M. Leyden, also with the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office while they, along with two other HCSO Deputy couples, were vacationing in St. Augustine. Leyden killed himself.
