Today on Beating Cancer Daily, Saranne sits down with cancer prevention expert Jacqui Bryan for an in-depth discussion about what it really takes to lower cancer risk—whether you've never faced a diagnosis or are dealing with fears of recurrence after Stage IV disease. This episode uses Jacqui's own journey as a breast cancer survivor and her expertise in functional medicine to break down the ten evidence-based recommendations from the American Institute for Cancer Research, with a special focus on diet, weight management, lifestyle choices, and emotional wellbeing. The conversation goes beyond genetics and environmental exposures to offer tangible ways listeners can “change their inner terrain,” from prioritizing plant-based foods and limiting processed meats, to rethinking alcohol and sugar-sweetened beverages. The episode also features guidance on when to use supplements, the critical importance of physical activity, and why community and social support matter just as much as nutrition. Throughout, Jacqui and Saranne emphasize making progress over perfection and share practical advice for anyone looking to feel more empowered in their own cancer prevention plan.Jacqui Bryan is a whole health educator, functional medicine expert, certified health coach, and registered nurse. A breast cancer survivor herself, Jacqui has spent more than two decades guiding others toward resilience, wellness, and cancer prevention. She serves the ComedyCures community both in private practice and through free educational offerings, and is recognized for her compassion, deep knowledge, and motivational approach to healthy living."There's no magic pill for cancer prevention...your body prefers the nutrition that it gets from real food and not necessarily from supplements." ~Jacqui Bryan Today on Beating Cancer Daily:·     Empowerment, not perfection, is the foundation of sustainable cancer prevention·     Maintaining a healthy body weight lowers the risk for multiple cancers, and even small weight loss brings real benefits·     Seven out of ten top cancer prevention strategies recommended by experts are directly tied to what and how you eat·     Prioritizing a diet of whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and beans reduces inflammation and supports immune function·     Limiting red meat, processed meats, sugary drinks, and fast foods is essential for lowering cancer risk and inflammation·     Alcohol should be minimized or avoided, as it can increase cancer risk by damaging DNA and raising estrogen·     Supplements are not a substitute for a healthy diet, food should always come first in cancer prevention·     Physical activity, stress reduction, social connection, and strong sleep habits are crucial dimensions of a comprehensive prevention plan 2025 People's Choice Podcast Awards Finalist Ranked the Top 5 Best Cancer Podcasts by CancerCare News in 2024 & 2025, and #1 Rated Cancer Survivor Podcast by FeedSpot in 2024 Beating Cancer Daily is listened to in over 130 countries across 7 continents and features over 390 original daily episodes hosted by Stage IV survivor Saranne Rothberg.   To learn more about Host Saranne Rothberg and The ComedyCures Foundation:https://www.comedycures.org/ To write to Saranne or a guest:https://www.comedycures.org/contact-8 To record a message to Saranne or a guest:https://www.speakpipe.com/BCD_Comments_SuggestionsTo sign up for the free Health Builder Series live on Zoom with Saranne and Jacqui, go to The ComedyCures Foundation's homepage:https://www.comedycures.org/Please support the creation of more original episodes of Beating Cancer Daily and other free ComedyCures Foundation programs with a tax-deductible contribution:http://bit.ly/ComedyCuresDonate THANK YOU!

China is likely to extend the consumer goods trade-in program into 2026, as analysts said there is still substantial, unmet demand among Chinese households to upgrade home appliances and digital devices, as well as ample fiscal headroom to underpin the consumption campaign.分析人士表示，由于中国家庭对家电和数码设备升级的需求仍有较大缺口，且有充足的财政空间支持这项消费刺激举措，中国可能会将消费品以旧换新政策延续至2026年。The initiative, proven effective in driving big-ticket item spending and delivering tangible benefits to households, is expected to enable China to begin the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) period on a sound footing, they added.他们补充称，该举措已被证实能有效拉动大额商品消费，并为家庭带来切实利益，有望助力中国在“十五”规划（2026-2030年）开局之年奠定良好基础。China's trade-in program is a government-backed initiative to boost domestic consumption by providing subsidies for consumers who trade in outdated items like white goods, automobiles and electronics for new, more efficient models.中国的以旧换新政策是一项政府支持的举措，通过为消费者提供补贴，鼓励其将家电、汽车和电子产品等老旧物品置换为新型、高效的产品，从而提振国内消费。Although an official announcement has not yet been made, multiple policy signals and clear market trends — particularly the shift toward smart and green products — suggest an extension is possible.尽管官方尚未发布正式通知，但多项政策信号和明确的市场趋势——尤其是向智能、绿色产品的转型——表明该政策有望延续。This likelihood was reinforced by the State Council, the country's Cabinet, which set explicit targets for aging vehicles and outdated appliance recycling volume through 2027 in a March 2024 document that launched the current trade-in round.2024年3月，国务院（中国内阁）发布文件启动本轮以旧换新工作，并明确设定了截至2027年的老旧车辆和废旧家电回收量目标，这进一步强化了政策延续的可能性。In addition, the 2024 Government Work Report pledged to issue ultra-long special treasury bonds "over each of the next several years". These bonds have served as the funding mechanism of the trade-in initiative.此外，2024年《政府工作报告》承诺“在今后几年每年”发行超长期特别国债。这些债券已成为以旧换新举措的资金保障机制。These policy statements, coupled with Beijing's emphasis on boosting household consumption in its recommendations for the next five-year blueprint released last month, indicate that policymakers are likely to extend the trade-in program into 2026, according to market watchers.市场观察人士指出，这些政策表述，加之北京上月发布的下一个五年规划建议中对扩大居民消费的重视，表明政策制定者可能会将以旧换新政策延续至2026年。Wang Wei, former director of the Institute of Market Economy at the Development Research Center of the State Council, told China Daily in an exclusive interview that while stimulating consumption has been top economic priority this year, it will also remain crucial in 2026 — the inaugural year of the 15th Five-Year Plan.国务院发展研究中心市场经济研究所前所长王微在接受《中国日报》独家采访时表示，尽管刺激消费是今年的首要经济任务，但在2026年——“十五”规划的开局之年，这一任务仍将至关重要。Maintaining a pro-consumption macroeconomic orientation is essential, which requires a further scaling-up of targeted fiscal spending in this regard, Wang said, adding that the mechanism of ultra-long special treasury bonds, deployed for the trade-in program in 2024 and 2025, should be extended into next year.王微称，保持有利于消费的宏观经济导向至关重要，这需要进一步加大相关定向财政支出力度。2024年和2025年用于以旧换新政策的超长期特别国债机制，应延续至明年。Yu Xiangrong, chief China economist at Citi, said that the funding pool for the trade-in program in 2026 is expected to remain at around 300 billion yuan ($41.3 billion), unchanged from the levels seen in 2025.花旗集团首席中国经济学家余向荣表示，2026年以旧换新政策的资金规模预计将维持在3000亿元人民币（约合413亿美元）左右，与2025年持平。Yu said the policy emphasis will shift from sheer scale to smarter allocation by expanding the range of eligible products and extending the program's reach into rural communities.余向荣指出，政策重心将从单纯追求规模转向更合理的资源配置，具体包括扩大补贴覆盖产品范围，并将政策推广至农村地区。A faster-than-expected issuance of national subsidies for consumer goods trade-ins in the first half of the year has tightened availability in recent months, leaving a pool of unmet demand that analysts say will help make the case for extending the program into 2026.今年上半年，消费品以旧换新国家补贴的发放速度超出预期，导致近几个月补贴额度紧张，市场上仍存在一批未得到满足的需求。分析人士认为，这将为政策延续至2026年提供有力支撑。Looking into next year, Xu Dongsheng, vice-chairman of the China Household Electrical Appliances Association, said that policymakers could consider setting differentiated incentive rates based on a product's price bracket and technological profile.展望明年，中国家用电器协会副理事长徐东升表示，政策制定者可考虑根据产品的价格区间和技术特性，设定差异化的补贴比例。Premium products, particularly those with AI integration, higher-efficiency and environmentally friendly features, could receive a higher subsidy proportion. These categories, seen as drivers of future industry trends, align with national priorities for technological advancement and carbon neutrality. Meanwhile subsidies for basic, functionally straightforward products would be scaled back appropriately, Xu said.徐东升称，高端产品，尤其是集成人工智能、能效更高且具备环保特性的产品，可能会获得更高比例的补贴。这些品类被视为未来产业发展趋势的驱动力，与国家技术进步和碳中和的核心目标相契合。同时，针对基础款、功能简单产品的补贴将适当缩减。According to an executive meeting of the State Council on Friday, industrial upgrading must be guided and propelled by consumption upgrading, where high-quality supply better satisfies diverse demand.国务院周五召开的常务会议指出，必须以消费升级引领和推动产业升级，通过高质量供给更好满足多样化需求。It is essential to deploy new technologies and business models, deeply integrate AI to enhance their capabilities, and concentrate efforts on key sectors to introduce novel products and value-added services, thereby expanding new consumption frontiers, as noted during the meeting.会议强调，要运用新技术、新模式，深度融合人工智能提升产品和服务能力，聚焦重点领域推出新产品和增值服务，拓展新消费空间。trade-in program以旧换新政策ultra-long special treasury bonds超长期特别国债fiscal spending财政支出big-ticket item spending大额商品消费white goods白色家电（特指冰箱、洗衣机等大型家电，政策补贴品类）

You're listening to Burnt Toast! I'm Virginia Sole-Smith. Today, my conversation is with Debra Benfield, RDN.Deb is a registered dietitian/nutritionist with 40 years of experience helping people heal their relationship with food, movement and their bodies. Her work sits at the intersection of anti-ageism, body liberation and trauma-informed care, offering a radically compassionate alternative to diet and wellness culture—especially for those in midlife and beyond. After turning 60, Deb began questioning the dominant narratives around aging, vitality and beauty, and quickly realized the majority of resources still centered weight loss and youthful appearance as the ultimate goals. In response, she created what she couldn't find: A framework for nourishing the body that honors body respect, prioritizes liberation and embraces the full spectrum of aging. Deb is the author of the beautiful new book Unapologetic Aging: How to Mend and Nourish Your Relationship with Your Body.  Deb came on the podcast back in 2023 and we had what was really the first, or certainly one of the first, conversations we've had on Burnt Toast about the intersection of ageism and anti-fat bias. That discussion helped lay the foundation for how we're continuing to talk about those issues. Deb is someone I always turn to for resources and wisdom as we're navigating those conversations here. I am so thrilled to have Deb back on the podcast today, to talk about her new book, how diet culture has hijacked the menopause discourse, and why peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are actually giving you all the protein you need.  Unapologetic Aging comes out on December 16, so now is the perfect time to pre-order it as a holiday gift for yourself, your mom, or anyone you know in midlife and beyond! And don't forget that if you've bought Fat Talk from Split Rock Books, you can take 10% off your purchase of Unapologetic Aging there too — just use the code FATTALK at checkout.And if you value this conversation, a paid subscription is the best way to support our work!Join Burnt Toast!

In this episode, Sheila reveals the real work of a forensic medium—channeling maps, faces, names, and landmarks to surface pivotal leads for investigators and clients—while navigating the balance between human emotion and spiritual duty. Sheila  opens up about learning to detach from fear, set energetic boundaries, and trust her guides completely—even when confronted with dark or disturbing energies. Throughout the conversation, Lauren and Sheila dive deep into: How forensic mediumship differs from traditional psychic work. Using dreams as direct communication from Spirit. Maintaining faith and focus during emotionally intense cases. Setting boundaries and avoiding “spiritual hitchhikers.” Overcoming fear through trust, light, and gratitude. The healing and love that often emerge, even in tragic cases. Sheila also recounts incredible real-life experiences—like a case where a detailed dream helped locate a missing woman alive—and offers wisdom for mediums learning to separate human emotion from spiritual service.

Bob Pulver, host of the Elevate Your AIQ podcast and a 25-year enterprise tech and innovation veteran, joins us this week to unpack the urgent need to move past "AI" as a buzzword and define what "Responsible AI" truly means for organizations. He shares his insights on why we are all responsible for AI, how to balance playing "defense" (risk mitigation) and "offense" (innovation), and why we must never outsource our critical thinking and human agency to these new tools. [0:00] Introduction Welcome, Bob! Today's Topic: Defining Responsible AI and Responsible Innovation [12:25] What Does “Responsible AI” Mean? Why elements (like fairness in decision-making, data provenance, and privacy) must be built-in "by design," not bolted on later. In an era where everyone is a "builder," we are all responsible for the tools we use and create. [25:48] The Two Sides of Responsible Innovation The "responsibility" side involves mitigating risk, ensuring fairness, and staying human-centric—it's like playing defense. The "innovation" side involves driving growth, entering new markets, and reinvesting efficiency gains—it's like playing offense. [41:58] Why don't we use AI to give us a 4-day work week? The critical need for leaders to separate their personal biases from data-driven facts. AI's role in recent layoffs. [50:27] Closing Thanks for listening! Quick Quote “We're all responsible for Responsible AI, whatever your role is. You're either using it or abusing it . . . or you're building it or you're testing it.”

Text us a pool question!Welcome to an in-depth exploration of leak detection in pools, a topic that often goes unnoticed yet is crucial for any pool owner. In this blog post, we'll highlight key insights and practical tips from a recent podcast episode featuring industry experts Natalie Hood and Jared Medeiros. Let's dive in and unravel the myths surrounding leak detection and maintenance.Section 1: Understanding the Importance of Leak Detection  Leaks can lead to significant water loss and costly repairs if not addressed promptly. Natalie and Jared emphasized the importance of being proactive rather than reactive when it comes to leak detection. As Jared, a seasoned professional in the aquatics industry, points out, understanding the signs of leaks can save pool owners time, money, and headaches in the long run.Section 2: Common Myths About Pool Plaster  One common myth discussed in the podcast is that plaster lasts forever if maintained correctly. Jared clarified that while proper maintenance can extend the lifespan of plaster, it is not indestructible. For instance, between five to ten years, homeowners may start to notice scaling, staining, and roughness if the pool chemistry is neglected. Jared notes that many homeowners wait too long, often until the plaster is visibly damaged, before considering resurfacing or repairs. Section 3: Repairing Plaster Underwater  Another myth addressed is the belief that plaster cannot be repaired underwater. Jared debunked this notion, stating that underwater repairs are indeed possible and often necessary for minor damages. He explained that only in extreme cases, such as structural failures, would a complete drain be required. This insight is crucial for homeowners who may fear costly and disruptive repairs.Section 4: Differentiating Between Surface and Structural Issues  Natalie shared a personal anecdote about her father's experience with a pool leak, highlighting the challenge homeowners face in distinguishing between surface cracks and structural failures. Jared advised that if homeowners are losing significant amounts of water, it's likely a structural issue that needs immediate attention. In contrast, minor water loss might just require a quick repair rather than an extensive fix.Section 5: The Role of Water Chemistry  The podcast also touched on the importance of water chemistry in maintaining the integrity of pool surfaces. Both Natalie and Jared stress that consistent testing and balancing of pool chemicals are vital for prolonging the life of plaster. Neglecting water chemistry can lead to costly repairs and diminished aesthetics over time. Conclusion: Key Takeaways  As we wrap up this discussion on leak detection and pool maintenance, the key takeaways are clear:  1. Proactive leak detection can save you time and money. 2. Understanding the lifespan of plaster and recognizing signs of wear is crucial. 3. Repairing plaster underwater is often feasible, but structural issues require immediate attention. 4. Maintaining proper water chemistry is essential for the longevity of your pool surfaces.  Educating yourself about these aspects can empower you as a pool owner and ensure your investment remains beautiful and functional for years to come.Tags: pool maintenance, leak detection, plaster repairs, water chemistry, pool care tips, aquatics industry insights, pool Support the showThank you so much for listening!

We're still flying high after another dominant Seahawks victory over the Arizona Cardinals. It's not just the win -- but how they were able to do it. Tyrice Knight, Ty Okada, Nehemiah Pritchett and Drake Thomas weren't guys we were expecting big contributions from at the beginning of the season, and now they're a big reason to be excited about the defense. With the Rams game coming up on Sunday, it will be the biggest test yet for the Seahawks. Ernest Jones and Cooper Kupp get to face off against their former team, but it may also be a revenge game for Sam Darnold based on how last season went for our quarterback. A lot has been made this week about how the Rams are using "heavy" personnel packages with their tight ends. Is it even that big of a deal? In the second half of the show we talk about a fictional offseason trade scenario between the Seahawks and Browns and one major reason why Myles Garrett shouldn't be a coveted trade candidate. Maintaining appliances and a new term showing up in sports are discussed in the Do Better segment. Lastly, stick around to find out why the Arizona Cardinals and a key part of the Earth's atmosphere are "Better at Life." Join our Sea Hawkers Podcast Pickem League - free prizes for weekly winners.

Olive harvest season has become a flashpoint in the West Bank in recent years as extremist Israeli settlers regularly threaten and physically harm Palestinian harvesters, but this year, “the situation on the ground is out of control,” Anton Goodman of Rabbis for Human Rights said on the Haaretz Podcast. “We have never seen anything like this,” Goodman emphasized, noting that in the past, “We've seen settler attacks, and we've seen unnecessary army aggression and restrictions, but we've never seen such a peak moment of violence affecting so many communities.” Goodman described the situation as a “perfect storm” with “extremists at the heart of the Israeli government, who have sent clear policy recommendations to the police” to refrain from arresting violent settlers so that “the rule of law is totally diminished.” He also outlined the ways in which mainstream Religious Zionist institutions and their leaders are complicit – such as when the prominent rabbi Yaakov Medan encouraged his yeshiva students to spend the High Holidays at outposts that are illegal even under Israeli law. Also on the podcast, Leila Stillman-Utterback recounts her experience as an 18-year-old Jewish American volunteer who was recently arrested at an olive harvest and then deported and banned from Israel for 10 years. While Israel has deported non-Jewish solidarity volunteers for years, Stillman-Utterback’s case is believed to be the first time Israel has deported a Diaspora Jew from the West Bank. Speaking from the United States, Stillman-Utterback said a court challenge to banning her entry to Israel is underway. Maintaining her connection to Israel, she said, is “incredibly important to me, even though I am extremely frustrated with the actions of the Israeli government, both in terms of the impunity for settler violence and their actions in Gaza.” Read more: Erased: Israeli Settlers' Brutal War on Palestinian Communities in the West Bank IDF Reports Surge in West Bank Settler Attacks Against Palestinians, Says Police and Shin Bet Looking Away Amid Political Pressure 'We May Have Reached the Point Where Settlers Try to Kill Jews' Analysis | There Will Be No Middle East Peace if Trump Turns a Blind Eye to Wild Settler Violence in the West Bank Op-ed by Anton Goodman: How Israel's Violent West Bank Settlers Place Minors in the Line of FireSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Driving Enterprise Innovation with AI and Strong CI/CD FoundationsAs enterprises push to deliver software faster and more efficiently, continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines have become central to modern engineering. With increasing complexity in builds, tools, and environments, the challenge is no longer just speed, but it's also about maintaining flow, consistency, and confidence in every release.In this episode of Tech Transformed, host Dana Gardner joins Arpad Kun, VP of Engineering and Infrastructure at Bitrise, to explore how solid CI/CD foundations can drive innovation and enable enterprises to harness AI in more practical, impactful ways. Drawing on findings from the Bitrise Mobile DevOps Insights Report, Kuhn shares how teams are optimising mobile delivery pipelines to accelerate development and support intelligent automation at scale.Complexity of Continuous Integration“Continuous integration pipelines are becoming more complex,” says Kuhn. “Build times are decreasing despite increasing complexity.” Faster compute and caching solutions are helping offset these pressures, but only when integrated into a cohesive CI/CD platform that can handle the rising demands of modern software delivery.A mature CI/CD environment creates stability and predictability. When developers trust their pipelines, they iterate faster and with less friction. As Kuhn notes, “A robust CI/CD platform reduces anxiety around releases.” Frequent, smaller iterations deliver faster feedback, shorten release cycles, and often improve app ratings—especially in the fast-paced world of mobile and cross-platform development.AI Ambitions with Engineering RealityIt's easy to become swept up in the potential of AI without considering whether existing foundations can support it. Many development environments are not yet equipped to handle the iterative, data-intensive nature of AI-powered software engineering. Without scalable CI/CD pipelines, teams risk encountering bottlenecks that can cancel out the potential benefits of AI.To truly drive innovation, enterprises must align their AI ambitions with robust automation, strong observability, and disciplined engineering practices. A well-designed CI/CD platform allows teams to integrate AI responsibly, accelerating testing, improving deployment accuracy, and maintaining agility even as complexity grows.TakeawaysContinuous integration pipelines are becoming more complex.Build times are decreasing despite increasing complexity.Faster computing and caching are key to improving delivery speed.Flaky tests have increased significantly, causing inefficiencies.Monitoring and isolating flaky tests can improve build success rates.Maintaining flow for engineers is crucial for productivity.A robust CI/CD platform reduces anxiety around releases.Frequent iterations lead to faster feedback and improved app ratings.Cross-platform development is on the rise, especially with React Native.The future of software development will be influenced by AI.For more insights, follow Bitrise:X: @bitriseInstagram: @bitrise.ioFacebook:

A great marketing engine doesn't run in a straight line. It spins, gathers speed, and builds momentum with every turn.That's the lesson of the flywheel, a framework that transforms scattered marketing efforts into a self-sustaining system of growth. In this episode, we explore how to turn that theory into reality with Nataly Kelly, Chief Marketing Officer at Zappi.Together, we unpack what B2B marketers can learn from building circular strategies that connect brand to demand, removing friction where it matters most, and compounding small wins into unstoppable momentum.About our guest, Nataly KellyNataly Kelly is CMO at Zappi. She has over 20 years of experience leading remote and global teams, and previously served 7 years as VP at HubSpot. She is a frequent contributor to Harvard Business Review, a published author of four books, keynote speaker on marketing, growth, and international expansion, and an award-winning leader. She has been named among the Top 50 CMOs on LinkedIn, as Marketing Executive of the Year, in the 40 under 40, and one of the Top 25 Content Marketers in Enterprise Software, as well as among the Women Worth Watching.What B2B Companies Can Learn From the Flywheel:Marketing is a flywheel, not a funnel. Marketers love funnels because they're measurable, but Nataly reminds us that the best marketing is circular, not linear. She says, “So often we have thought of marketing as like a linear funnel. But the flywheel's really where you turn the funnel on the side and then connect the top to the bottom.” In her model, brand, demand, land, and expand all feed each other in an ongoing loop. Marketing shouldn't be about one campaign that ends. It's about creating continuous energy that connects awareness to advocacy.Friction kills momentum. Velocity doesn't come from spending more, it comes from removing what slows you down. Nataly explains, “A general rule of thumb I've always used is the closer you get to someone's wallet, the more important it is to remove friction…. Every touchpoint is a chance to delight a customer.” In B2B marketing, the same rule applies: every confusing process, clunky message, or slow response is a brake on your flywheel. Smooth the path, and speed will follow.Small improvements compound into unstoppable growth. Marketers often look for a big splash, but Nataly says momentum comes from micro progress. Nataly asks, “What are the small things we can do to create uplift today and momentum today?... And those things add up.” Each small optimization—an improved touchpoint, a clearer message, a faster follow-up—removes friction and accelerates the flywheel. Consistency, not chaos, creates compounding power.Quote“Your brand voice is really how you decide to communicate with your customer. And that is not just what we typically consider marketing communications. It touches every part of the customer experience.”Time Stamps[00:55] Meet Nataly Kelly, Chief Marketing Officer at Zappi[01:09] Why Flywheels?[05:16] Role of Chief Marketing Officer at Zappi[07:30] What are Flywheels?[20:52] Understanding Market Dynamics and Customer Segmentation[22:11] Building and Maintaining a Flywheel Strategy[26:11] Content Marketing Success Stories[33:51] Leveraging LinkedIn for Effective Content Distribution[39:22] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Nataly on LinkedInLearn more about ZappiAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

In this episode, Jeff interviews Luca about his intensive experience presenting at five conferences in two and a half days, including the Embedded Online Conference and a German conference where he delivered a keynote on AI-enhanced software development. Luca shares practical insights from running an LLM-only hackathon where participants were prohibited from manually writing any code that entered version control—forcing them to rely entirely on AI tools.The conversation explores technical challenges in AI-assisted embedded development, particularly the importance of context management when working with LLMs. Luca reveals that effective AI-assisted coding requires treating prompts like code itself—version controlling them, refining them iteratively, and building project-specific prompt libraries. He discusses the economics of LLM-based development (approximately one cent per line of code), the dramatic tightening of feedback loops from days to minutes, and how this fundamentally changes agile workflows for embedded teams.The episode concludes with a discussion about the evolving role of embedded developers—from code writers to AI supervisors and eventually to product owners with deep technical skills. Luca and Jeff address concerns about maintaining core software engineering competencies while embracing these powerful new tools, emphasizing that understanding the craft remains essential even as the tools evolve.Key Topics[02:15] LLM-only hackathon constraints: No human-written code in version control[04:30] Context management as the critical skill for effective LLM-assisted development[08:45] Explicit context control: Files, directories, API documentation, and web content integration[11:20] LLM hallucinations: When AI invents file contents and generates diffs against phantom code[13:00] Economics of AI-assisted coding: Approximately $0.01 per line of code[15:30] Tightening feedback loops: From day-long iterations to minutes in agile embedded workflows[17:45] Rapid technical debt accumulation: How LLMs can create problems faster than humans notice[19:30] The essential role of comprehensive testing in AI-assisted development workflows[22:00] Challenges with TDD and LLMs: Getting AI to take small steps and wait for feedback[26:15] Treating prompts like code: Version control, libraries, and project-specific prompt management[29:40] External context management: Coding style guides, plan files, and todo.txt workflows[32:00] LLM attention patterns: Beginning and end of context receive more focus than middle content[34:30] The evolving developer role: From coder to prompt engineer to AI supervisor to technical product owner[38:00] Code wireframing: Rapid prototyping for embedded systems using AI-generated implementations[40:15] Maintaining software engineering skills in the age of AI: The importance of manual practice[43:00] Software engineering vs. software carpentry: Architecture and goals over syntax and implementationNotable Quotes"One of the hardest things to get an LLM to do is nothing. Sometimes I just want to brainstorm with it and say, let's look at the code base, let's figure out how we're going to tackle this next piece of functionality. And then it says, 'Yeah, I think we should do it like this. You know what? I'm going to do it right now.' And it's so terrible. Stop. You didn't even wait for me to weigh in." — Luca Ingianni"LLMs making everything faster also means they can create technical debt at a spectacular rate. And it gets a little worse because if you're not paying close attention and if you're not disciplined, then it kind of passes you by at first. It generates code and the code kind of looks fine. And you say, yeah, let's keep going. And then you notice that actually it's quite terrible." — Luca Ingianni"I would not trust myself to review an LLM's code and be able to spot all of the little subtleties that it gets wrong. But if I at least have tests that express my goals and maybe also my worries in terms of robustness, then I can feel a lot safer to iterate very quickly within those guardrails." — Luca Ingianni"Roughly speaking, the way I was using the tool, I was spending about a cent per line. Which is about two orders of magnitude below what a human programmer roughly costs. It really is a fraction. So that's nice because it makes certain things approachable. It changes certain build versus buy decisions." — Luca Ingianni"You can tighten your feedback loops to an absurd degree. Maybe before, if you had a really tight feedback loop between a product owner and a developer, it was maybe a day long. And now it can be minutes or quarters of an hour. It is so much faster. And that's not just a quantitative step. It's also a qualitative step." — Luca Ingianni"Some of my best performing prompts came from a place of desperation where one of my prompts is literally 'wait wait wait you didn't do what we agreed you would do you did not read the files carefully.' And I'd like to use this prompt now, even before it did something wrong. And then it apologizes as the first step. And I feel terrible because I hurt the LLM's feelings. But it is very effective." — Luca Ingianni"As you tighten your feedback loops, quality must be maintained through code review and tests. Test first, new feature, review, passing tests—you need to go through that red-green-refactor loop. You can just hopefully do it much more quickly, and maybe in slightly bigger steps than you did before manually." — Jeff Gable"A lot of what I'm doing is really intended to rein in an LLM's propensity to sort of ramble. It's very hard to get them to practice TDD because you can ask them to write the test first, then they will. And then they will just trample on and write the implementation right with it without stopping and returning control back to you." — Luca Ingianni"Those prompts tend to be to some degree specific to the particular code base or the particular problem domain. Every now and then you stumble across ways of making an LLM do exactly what you want it to do within the context of the particular code base. And once you find a nugget like this, you keep it. You don't just keep it in the generic library. Some of those tricks will be very specific to a particular code base." — Luca Ingianni"Just like humans, LLMs tend to pay more attention to the stuff at the beginning of the context and at the end, and the middle sort of gets not quite forgotten but kind of fuzzy. You really need to have a way to extract all of that before it becomes fuzzy and store it in a safe place where it can't be damaged, like a file." — Luca Ingianni"I think we will hit this weird valley in the coming five years where everyone's just using LLMs and no one knows how to write code anymore. And there will be a need for people who can leverage the tools, but still have the skills that serve as the solid foundation." — Jeff Gable"Maybe this is essentially software engineering finally becoming true to its name. At the moment, software engineering is sort of more like software carpentry. You're really doing the craft. You're laboring to put the curly brackets at the right places. And maybe now it's more about taking a step back and thinking in terms of architecture, and thinking in terms of goals, as opposed to knowing how to swing a hammer." — Luca IngianniResources MentionedEmbedded Online Conference - Premier online conference for embedded systems professionals featuring talks on AI integration, development practices, and cutting-edge embedded technologies.

In this conversation, Jeff Sarris and Jill Harris discuss the potential risks associated with consuming spinach, particularly for individuals prone to kidney stones. They explore the high oxalate content in spinach, its implications for kidney stone formation, and the importance of calcium in mitigating these risks. The discussion emphasizes the need for moderation and variety in dietary choices, especially for those with a history of kidney stones.TakeawaysSpinach is the highest oxalate food, potentially leading to kidney stones.Many people unknowingly consume excessive spinach, increasing their oxalate intake.Dietary changes can lead to unintended health issues, like kidney stones.Healthcare professionals should advise moderation and variety in diets.Calcium is essential for preventing kidney stones, but spinach may hinder its absorption.Accidental consumption of spinach is not likely to cause kidney stones.Kale can be a better alternative to spinach for calcium intake.Patients often feel frustrated when healthy choices lead to health issues.Dietitians and healthcare providers need to communicate risks clearly.Maintaining bone health is crucial, especially for older adults.00:00 The Spinach Dilemma: A Superfood or a Stone Culprit?07:36 Understanding Oxalates: The Calcium Connection——HAVE A QUESTION? _Leave us a voicemail at (773) 789-8764.KIDNEY STONE DIET® APPROVED PRODUCTSProtein Powders, Snacks, and moreWORK WITH JILL _Start HereKidney Stone Diet® All-Access PassKidney Stone Diet® CourseKidney Stone Diet® Meal PlansKidney Stone Diet® BooksPrivate Consultation with JillOne-on-One Deep Dive24-Hour Urine AnalysisSUPPORT THE SHOW _Join the PatreonRate Kidney Stone Diet on Apple Podcasts or Spotify——WHO IS JILL HARRIS? _Since 1998, Jill Harris has been the #1 kidney stone prevention nurse helping patients reduce their kidney stone risk.

Today, Neil delves into the concept of 'bouncebackability', more commonly known as resilience. He explores resilience as a dynamic process rather than a fixed trait, emphasising that it can be developed and strengthened over time. Neil discusses the importance of maintaining a positive outlook, building strong social connections, and employing effective coping strategies to enhance mental and physical resilience. KEY TAKEAWAYS Resilience is not an innate trait but a dynamic process that can be learned and developed over time. It involves a mindset that allows individuals to adapt and bounce back from adversity. Maintaining good physical health is crucial for resilience. A strong physical state helps the body recover from illness, while mental resilience involves emotional regulation, optimism, and problem-solving skills. Surrounding oneself with supportive and resilient individuals enhances personal resilience. A strong social network can significantly improve one's ability to recover from challenges. Effective coping mechanisms, such as exercise, mindfulness, and humor, are essential for managing stress and emotions. Self-awareness and self-care are also critical components of resilience. Resilient individuals exhibit adaptability and a sense of control over their lives. They focus on solutions, maintain a positive outlook, and are flexible in their approach to unexpected changes. BEST MOMENTS "Resilience isn't a fixed personality trait, but it's kind of a dynamic process, a mindset, a way of interpreting whatever happens to you." "The more adversity gets thrown at you, the more problems, and the more you do the bouncing back, the better you get at bouncing back." "If your environment is toxic, because of the people in it, you've got to clean up your environment." "Never, ever, ever play the victim role. Resilient people understand that they largely control their decisions and their outcomes." "Look around you for someone who already has it. And imitate what they do. Model them."

The Cockpit Confrontation: How Parliament Lost Their Best Advocate and Franklin's Legacy as a Founder of Science. Richard Munson discusses how Benjamin Franklin was a pivotal figure in the Revolutionary era, initially dedicated to maintaining the colonies' loyalty to the king. The critical turning point occurred in January 1774 at the Cockpit, where Parliament grilled and lambasted Franklin for over an hour without allowing him to answer. At this moment, Franklin realized the English government had lost its "best possible advocate," and he began thinking seriously about independence. Before the break with Britain, Franklin had laid a foundation for colonial unity by creating the American Philosophical Society. Franklin returned to Philadelphia in April 1775 and sailed to Paris in October 1776, where the French adored him. Franklin's legacy has been subject to various interpretations by historians, but Munson emphasizes that Franklin's enduring relevance lies in his role as a founder who championed empirical truths, observation, and experimentation, which is vital in modern times marked by the dismissal of science and facts.
