Agentic AI is advancing rapidly, with open-source projects racing to keep pace with real-world deployment. To accelerate progress, the Linux Foundation consolidated key technologies—Model Context Protocol (MCP), Goose, and AGENTS.md—under the newly formed Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) in late 2025. At the MCP Dev Summit in New York City, Linux Foundation CEO Jim Zemlin and newly appointed AAIF executive director Mazin Gilbert discussed this transition. Zemlin explained that leading both organizations was unsustainable, prompting a careful search for a leader with both technical expertise and collaborative leadership skills. Gilbert now takes on the challenge of guiding AAIF as it shapes the emerging agentic AI ecosystem. While the foundation currently oversees three projects, its broader mission involves defining the future architecture of agent-driven systems—deciding what to build, when, and why. These decisions will influence the trajectory of open-source AI development. The conversation also highlights the importance of open collaboration, funding dynamics, and early adopters in shaping the agentic stack's evolution.   Learn more from The New Stack around the latest in open-source projects and The Linux Foundation:  Anthropic Donates the MCP Protocol to the Agentic AI Foundation SAFE-MCP, a Community-Built Framework for AI Agent Security Google Donates the Agent2Agent Protocol to the Linux Foundation Join our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game.

Pēc vēsturiski augstākā punkta sasniegšanas 2022. gadā ASV pieaugušo aptaukošanās rādītājs līdz 2025. gadam ir nokrities no teju 40 līdz 37 procentiem. Vai arī Latvijas iedzīvotāju aptaukošanās pieauguma dinamiku var lauzt, līdzīgi kā tas noticis ASV? Par to spriežam raidījumā, kurā viesojas Paula Stradiņa klīniskās universitātes slimnīcas uztura speciāliste Liene Sondore un Zemgales diabēta centra endokrinoloģe Sigita Pastare.

Publiskie iepirkumi ir minēta kā viena no jomām, kur var būtiski samazināt birokrātiju, par kuru sūdzas gan uzņēmēji un kas apgrūtina dzīvi arī valsts un pašvaldības iestādēm. Ir rosināts būtiski paaugstināt finansējuma slieksni, no kura šādi iepirkumi būtu jāveic. Tagadējie jau sen vairs neatbilst reālajai dārdzībai, jo ir 10 tūkstoši precēm un pakalpojumiem, bet 20 tūkstoši – būvdarbiem. Piedāvātās izmaiņas ir milzīgs lēciens – līdz 143 tūkstošie precēm un pakalpojumiem, bet būvdarbus bez iepirkuma varētu veikt pat 5,5 miljonu eiro apmērā. Vai tā neiebrauksim otrā grāvī un vai šāds piedāvājums nemazinās konkurenci, par to diskutējam Krustpunktā. Analizē Birokrātijas mazināšanas rīcības grupas vadītājs Jānis Endziņš, Valsts kontroles padomes loceklis Gatis Litvins, Saeimas Publisko izdevumu un revīzijas komisijas priekšsēdētājs Gatis Liepiņš, Saeimas Publisko izdevumu un revīzijas komisijas deputāts Andris Kulbergs un domnīcas "Providus" direktore Sanda Liepiņa.

Most hockey players don't lose their career to injury.They lose it to the weekend.The party. The girls. The phone. The slow drift away from the one window they were ever going to get.Robert Mazin left Latvia at 15 with no agent, no mentor, no roadmap. He found his way through hockey programs across three continents and watched hundreds of players blow their shot from the inside out. Now he runs 369 Sports and Entertainment and spends his life making sure young athletes don't make the same mistakes.In this episode we talk about what actually separates the players who make it from the ones who don't. It has nothing to do with talent. It never did.We talk about the window. Why 16 is the moment everything either locks in or falls apart. What happens to a young man's brain and body when discipline disappears. The death that comes when sports ends and there's nothing left to hold onto. And what breathwork and emotional fitness have to do with any of it.This is the conversation the locker room never had.For the players. For the parents. For the coaches who know something is missing but can't name it.Connect with Robert Mazin and 369 Sports:Website: https://www.369ent.com/369 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/369.ent/Robert's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rrmazin/?hl=enFree 5-Minute Power Reset Breathwork: https://lance-essihos-2.kit.com/8ad61Mastering Adversity: https://www.amazon.sg/Mastering-Adversity-Unlock-Warrior-Within/dp/B0BFV6D54NConnect with Lance Essihos:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lance.essihosLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lance-w-essihosUniversity of Adversity Podcast: https://feeds.captivate.fm/universityofadversityEmail: lance@lancewessihos.com

Vēlēšanu gadā Latviju pāršalc jauns skandāls, kas kādā mērā ir saistīts ar elektronisko balsošanas sistēmu. Proti, aizdomās par krāpšanos IT sistēmu iepirkumā aizturēti pāris desmiti cilvēku un ir arī apcietinātie. Eiropas Prokuratūra savā paziņojumā ir norādījusi par potenciāliem riskiem valsts drošībai, jo tie var ietekmēt vēlēšanas. Tas šīs nedēļas skaļākais notikums, bet ne mazāk svarīgi, kas notiek energoresursu, tajā skaitā degvielas tirgū un ko šajā sakarā plāno valdība. Miera nav arī valdībā, Zaļo un zemnieku savienība nav apmierināta, kā aizsardzības ministrs reaģējis uz ASV prezidenta aicinājumu Eiropai iesaistīties Irānas jautājuma risināšanā. Bet valdība turas, arī „Progresīvo” pārstāvētā satiksmes ministra demisijas pieprasījums tika noraidīts. Tāds īss pārskrējiens nedēļas aktualitātēm, par kurām runājam raidījumā Krustpunktā. Aktualitātes analizē Latvijas Unoversitātes Ekonomikas un sociālo zinātņu fakultātes pasniedzējs Mārtiņš Pričins, portāla "TVNET" galvenā redaktore Ērika Staškevica, "Latvijas Avīzes" žurnālists Māris Antonevičs un portāla "DELFI" žurnāliste Alīna Lastovska.

Latvijas iedzīvotājiem izkrāptās naudas summas ik gadu ir mērāmas daudzos miljonos eiro. Ko atbildīgās institūcijas var darīt, lai mazinātu krāpniecību digitālajā vidē. Par to diskusija raidījumā Krustpunktā. Analizē Iekšlietu ministrijas valsts sekretārs Dimitrijs Trofimovs, "CERT.LV" kiberdrošības eksperts Gints Mālkalnietis, SEB bankas Drošības pārvaldes vadītājs Mārcis Pelcis un LMT Privātpersonu apkalpošanas dienesta direktore Ilze Saulīte. Apmēram pāris miljonu mēnesī - tik daudz pagājušā gadā noziedzniekiem izdevās izkrāpt naudu no Latvijas iedzīvotājiem. Bizness rullē, jo vēl pirms gada summa bija par trešdaļu mazāka. Arvien lielāka izdoma, arvien lielāks ieguvums un arvien lielākas sirdssāpes cilvēkiem, jo nav joka lieta pazaudēt visus savus iekrājumus, reizēm īpašumus, iedzīvoties parādos. Protams, visi pēc tam mēģina analizēt, kā viņi tā iekrita, bet ir arī jāuzdod jautājums, ko valsts dara, lai sekmīgāk cīnītos pret pieaugušo noziedzību šajā jomā. Ir zināms, ka Iekšlietu ministrija arī rosina šādas jaunas iniciatīvas. Strīdīgākā no tām ir aizliegt nereģistrētu priekšapmaksas telekaršu pārdošana Latvijā. Cik efektīvi ir pašreizējie piedāvājumi cīņā ar krāpniecību? Ko vēl vajadzētu darīt, lai kaut kā šo riebīgo rūpalu bremzētu?

Pieprasījums pēc mazākas birokrātijas un lētākas valsts pārvaldes no uzņēmēju puses izskan bieži. Gada sākumā valdība izveidoja rīcības grupu birokrātijas mazināšanai, kas salīdzinoši īsā laikā nāca klajā ar pasākumu kopu, tomēr kritika par to bija liela, jo skaidrs, ka problēmas ir pārāk samilzušas, lai dažu nedēļu laikā atrastu visaptverošus risinājumus. Pirms diviem mēnešiem rīcības grupas vadībā stājās uzņēmēju organizācijas pārstāvis – nu jau bijušais Latvijas Tirdzniecības un rūpniecības kameras valdes priekšsēdētājs Jānis Endziņš. Krustpunktā Lielā intervija ar Jāni Endziņu.

Ķīmija, lai arī bieži nemanāma un neuzkrītoša, ir klātesoša neskaitāmās mūsu dzīves jomās. Sākot ar produktiem mūsu vannasistabās un zāļu plauktos, beidzot ar enerģētiku un pārtikas drošību. Ķīmiķi Latvijā kopā ar fiziķiem šobrīd strādā pie nanopārklājumiem vēja turbīnu lāpstiņām un īpaša sensora, kas ziņotu par zivju produktu svaigumu. Par jaunākajiem pētījumiem raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā stāsta Latvijas Universitātes (LU) asociētais profesors, Organiskās sintēzes institūta pētnieks, ķīmiķis Artis Kinēns un fiziķis no Ukrainas, LU Atomfizikas un spektroskopijas institūta vadošais pētnieks Romāns Viters. Stāstot par topošo zivju svaiguma kontroles sensoru, Artis Kinēns skaidro, ka pašreizējās tehnoloģijas, lai noteiktu pārtikas kvalitāti, bieži vien laboratorijas izmeklējumi. "Tas nozīmē, ka ir jāņem zivs paraudziņus, sūta uz laboratoriju, taisa mikrobioloģiskos testus. Tas aizņem labākajā gadījumā dažas stundas, realitātē - vairākas dienas. Tas nozīmē, ka tas svaigums, ko noteicāt, jau ir divas dienas vecs," norāda Artis Kinēns.  Otrs variants ir fizikālas metodes, kam nepieciešams fizisks kontakts ar zivi.  "Bet ko darīt, ja zivs ir iepakojumā? Ja atvērt iepakojumu vaļā, jau ir atkritums radies. Arī tad, ja zivs paraugu sūta uz laboratoriju, arī ir radīts atkritums. Līdz ar to nav labas tiešsaistes metodes, kurā būtu iespējams kontrolēt pārtikas produktu, kas jau ir iepakojumā, lai tas nebūtu jāatver." "Galvenā priekšrocība, ko redzam pret klasisko derīguma termiņu, jo arguments būtu, derīguma termiņš ir uzdrukāts, viss kārtībā. Bet derīguma termiņš nekādā veidā nepastāsta, kā tā zivs ir bijusi glabāta. Ja viņi ir pa ceļam vesta ar ķerrā, bez saldēšanas, tad viņa būs sabojāsies krietni ātrāk, nekā ir derīguma termiņš uzrakstīts. No otras puses, ja viņa ir glabāta korekti, tas derīguma termiņš arī varbūt nav korekts. Viņš vienkārši pasaka, ka šeit būs droši, ja mēs viņu metīsim ārā. Bet tikpat labi viņa ir lietojama vēl varbūt nedēļu," analizē Artis Kinēns. "Pateicoties tam, ka nav tāda ātra kontroles mehānisma, es teikšu diezgan šausmīgu statistiku, ka aptuveni 30% no saražotās zivju produkcijas tiek izmesta ārā tikai tāpēc, ka nenonāk līdz galapatērētājam laikā." Daļa šīs produkcijas noteikti vēl būtu lietojama, bet termiņš saka, ka ir jāmet ārā. "Inovācija būtu tāda, ka, ja mēs varam šo ieviest kā standarta praksi, ka mums ir iepakojums, kurā iekšpusē ir uzlīme, kurā ir iestrādāts luminofors, tad to no ārpuses var noskenēt vai nu ar kādu lasītājierīci, ideālā gadījumā mobilo telefonu, un tas pasaka: zivs vēl ir derīga tik un tik ilgu laiku," skaidro Artis Kinēns. Pētnieks norāda, ka šobrīd mērķis ir topošo sensoru un iespējas ar to veikt svaiguma mērījumus piedāvāt pārtikas izplatītājiem un pārtikas veikaliem, lai viņiem būtu iespēja labāk kontrolēt savu produktu plūsmu, lai tā samazinātu atkritumu rašanos.  "Viņu gadījumā tā ir mobilā telefona aplikācija, visticamāk, kura nofotografē uzlīmīti, kas ir  iekšpusē pie zivs pielikta, un no tās fotogrāfijas viņš nolasa zivs svaigumu," atzīst Artis Kinēns. "Ja runājam par patērētājiem, tad pielietojums varētu būt ļoti līdzīgs - ar mobilo  telefonu nofotografē zivi veikalā un lietotne pasaka, ka zivs ir derīga vai nav." Zinātnes ziņas Ziemā vērts vakariņas ēst agrāk Laikā, kad ārā agri paliek tumšs, izrādās, ka ir vērts pārskatīt mūsu vakariņu paradumus un ieturēt maltīti agrāk! Pētnieki no Džona Hopkinsa universitātes analizējuši sasitību starp mūsu iekšējo pulksteni un vielmaiņu un secinājuši, ka ēdot vakariņas ziemā agrāk, mēs palīdzam savam organismam labāk pārstrādāt uzņemto pārtiku. Arī dzīvnieki var sirgt ar hiperaktivitātes sindromu Cilvēku pasaulē ir tik ierasti runāt par tādām diagnozēm kā autisms, arī uzmanības deficīta un  un izskatās,  ka arī daži mūsu mājdzīvnieki varētu sirgt ar līdzīgām kaitēm. Tas tāpēc, ka pie vainas abos gadījumos ir strukturālas un ķīmiskas izmaiņas smadzenēs. Pētnieki noskaidorjuši, ka, piemēram, suņiem, žurkām, pelēm un atsevišķiem primātiem var būt izmaiņas gēnos, kas saistītas ar hiperaktīvu un impulsīvu uzvedību. Regulāra mikroplastmasas lietošana paātrina aterosklerozes veidošanos Kalifornijas universitātes pētnieki papildinājuši mūsu zināšanas par mikroplastmasas ietekmi uz cilvēka organismu. Eksperimentos ar pelēm, atklāts, ka regulāra mikroplastmasas lietošana paātrina aterosklerozes veidošanos. Ateroskleroze ir stāvoklis, kad sašaurinās artērijas, radot lielāku insulta vai infarkta risku. Te gan jāpiebilst, ka pētījumā šādus rezultatus uzrādīja tieši peļu tēviņi nevis mātītes. Abu dzimumu peles baroja ar zemam holesterīnam labvēlīgu diētu, taču regulāri deviņu mēnešu laikā pelēm tika iebarota arī mikroplastmasa atbilstoši dzīvnieku svaram.  E.coli baktērijas izplatība ir tikpat ātra kā cūku mērim Tīmekļa vietnē “ScienceDaily” ar pirmpublikāciju zinātnes žurnālā “Nature Communications” nonācis raksts par kādu zarnu baktērijas jeb Escherichia coli īpašību. Zinātnieki no Somijas un Norvēģijas pirmo reizi ir novērtējuši, cik ātri E.coli baktērijas var izplatīties starp cilvēkiem, un, kā izrādās, viens šīs baktērijas celms izplatās tikpat ātri kā cūku gripa. Pētnieku darbs piedāvā jaunu veidu, kā uzraudzīt un kontrolēt pret antibiotikām izturīgas jeb rezistentas baktērijas. Antimikrobiālā jeb antibiotiku rezistence ir aktuāla problēma veselības aprūpē, un tieši šonedēļ līdz 24. novembrim aizrit Pasaules antimikrobiālās rezistences izpratnes nedēļa. Tāpēc par baktērijas izplatību, bīstamību un, protams, ārvalstu pētnieku paveikto saruna ar Eiropas Pārtikas nekaitīguma iestādes valdes priekšsēdētāju, kā arī Pārtikas drošības, dzīvnieku veselības un vides zinātniskā institūta “BIOR” zinātniskās padomes priekšsēdētāju Aivaru Bērziņu.

HERO OR SIDEKICK?As we all know, the 2000's were something of a renaissance when it came to superhero adaptations, all culminating with the golden age that started with The Avengers in 2012. What many people didn't often discuss were the myriad of satires and pastiches that appeared around then that had no clue how ahead of their time they would be. From Kirkman's Invincible to Mazin's Superhero Movie, lots of different things were already taking tropes we knew of and turning them on their heads. In 2005, Disney sought to do the same on a family-friendly level. While it may not have been a smash hit, it certainly left an impact on a lot of us. So, come join Brian, Alec, and special guest Trey (@HeyGuysItSpidey) as they revisit a childhood classic (that may be more messed up than they remember) -- SKY HIGH!

Read transcriptGreetings, fellow arcade archaeologists and button-mashing historians! This week on Play Comics, we're diving headfirst into the delightfully bizarre world of Mazin Saga: Mutant Fighter for the Sega Genesis – that wonderfully weird 1993 hybrid that somehow convinced an entire development team that what the world really needed was a game where you could punch mutant biobeasts in the face AND grow to kaiju size for boss battles. Based on Go Nagai's MazinSaga manga (which itself was a mashup of his Mazinger and Devilman universes), this Almanic Corporation creation proved that sometimes the best way to adapt source material is to throw it in a blender with some Streets of Rage DNA and see what emerges from the primordial gaming ooze. We're absolutely thrilled to welcome Stik Braxton from Together We Anime, Too Tall Boyz, and Clueless Vino to help us navigate this mecha-infused madness. Stik brings his signature blend of pop culture expertise and comedic timing to help us answer the eternal question: does turning Koji Kabuto into a beat-'em-up protagonist while God Kaiser Hell destroys civilization make for faithful adaptation, or just really entertaining chaos? Armed with his Mazinger Z armor and an inexplicable ability to size-shift for dramatic effect, our hero must save humanity from an underground bunker situation that makes your average zombie apocalypse look like a casual Tuesday. So dust off your Genesis controllers, prepare for some seriously chunky sprite animation, and join us as we explore whether this genre-bending fever dream successfully captured the essence of its manga source material or just created something gloriously unhinged in the process. We'll examine how faithful giant robot fights translate to 16-bit glory, why boss battles needed their own fighting game engine, and whether any of this actually makes sense when you're having this much fun pressing buttons. Learn such things as: How to successfully blend beat-'em-up mechanics with one-on-one fighting without completely losing your mind Why God Kaiser Hell remains one of the most intimidatingly named video game villains in Genesis history The exact moment when “faithful adaptation” becomes “let's just make something awesome instead” And so much more! You can find Stik at too many places, so let's just make it easy and send you to the Clueless Creative Linktree.

There's a deadly fungus among us! Alexis Hejna from Honeysuckle Rose Creations hosts a roundtable look the second season of the hit TV series based off the hit video game (and its sequel), joined by Jesse Starcher and Jayson Teasely. Let's take a look at this story of vengeance, love, and mushrooms. The second season of the American post-apocalyptic drama television series The Last of Us was originally broadcast on HBO between April and May 2025. Based on the video game franchise developed by Naughty Dog, the season is set twenty-five years into a pandemic caused by a mass fungal infection, which causes its hosts to transform into zombie-like creatures and collapses society. The second season, based on the first half of the 2020 game The Last of Us Part II, follows Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) five years after the events of the first season, after they have settled into Jackson, Wyoming, with Joel's brother Tommy (Gabriel Luna) and Ellie's friends Dina (Isabela Merced) and Jesse (Young Mazino).HBO renewed The Last of Us for a second season less than two weeks after the series premiered in January 2023. Co-creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann were joined in the writers' room by Halley Gross and Bo Shim; Druckmann wrote and co-directed the games, and Gross co-wrote Part II. Principal photography took place in British Columbia from February to August 2024. Druckmann, Mazin, and Peter Hoar returned to direct the seven episodes alongside newcomers Kate Herron, Nina Lopez-Corrado, Mark Mylod, and Stephen Williams. Gustavo Santaolalla and David Fleming returned to compose the score.Critics felt the season reinforced The Last of Us as the best video game adaptation, praising the action sequences, direction, performances, production design, and writing, though some criticized the pacing and considered the story incomplete. It was nominated for several awards. Across linear channels and Max, the season premiere was watched by 5.3 million viewers on the first day, a 13% increase from the first-season premiere; by May, the series averaged almost 37 million global viewers per episode.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59 

Latvijā elektroenerģija ir dārgāka nekā daudzās citās Eiropas Savienības valstīs, arī atslēgšanās no BRELL ir radījusi papildus izmaksas. Vai elektroenerģija pie mums vienmēr būs dārgāka nekā citur, vai tomēr ir plāns, kā šīs cenas varētu mazināt? Krustpunktā diskutē Klimata un enerģētikas ministrijas Enerģijas tirgus departaments direkotors Gunārs Valdmanis, Rīgas Tehniskās universitātes Industriālās elektronikas, elektrotehnikas un enerģētikas institūta vadošais pētnieks Kārlis Baltputnis, enerģētikas eksperts Gatis Ābele, Latvijas elektroenerģetiķu un energobuvnieku asociacijas izpilddirektors Ivars Zariņš un SIA "RCG LightHouse" dibinātājs un padomes loceklis, enerģētikas eksperts Kaspars Osis.

Valsts prezidents Edgars Rinkēvičs rosina samazināt slieksni tautas nobalsošanas ierosināšanai. Kā tas ietekmēs sabiedrības līdzdalību valstiski svarīgos procesos, to Krustpunktā vaicājam politiķiem un ekspertiem. Analizē Saeimas Juridiskās komisijas priekšsēdētājs Andrejs Judins (Jaunā Vienotība), Saeimas deputāts Edvards Smiltēns (Apvienotais saraksts), analītikas un vadības grupas "PowerHouse Latvia" direktors, RSU docents Mārtiņš Daugulis, Valsts prezidenta padomniece likumdošanas un starptautisko tiesību jautājumos Kristīne Līce un Latvijas pilsoniskās alianses eksperte pilsoniskās sabiedrības attīstības jautājumos Inese Puriņa. Pirms vairāk nekā 10 gadiem, kad Latvijas krievvalodīgajiem iedzīvotājiem izdevās savākt parakstus, lai rosinātu referendumu par valsts valodas statusa piešķiršanu krievu valodai, mūs pārņēma pamatīgs emociju vilni. Tas ievērojami mobilizēja latviešus, kas arī ar pārliecinošu balsu vairākumu noraidīja šo priekšlikumu. Bet paralēli radās pretestība pret referenduma ideju vispār. Ātri vien deputāti savācās, veica izmaiņas likumā, paceļot daudzkārt augstāk latiņu, cik daudz parakstu nepieciešams, lai vispār rosinātu referendumu. Un kopš tā laika referendumi Latvijā vairs nav arī bijuši. Tagad visu nosaka deputāti. Paraksti gan tiek vākti arī referendumiem, bet nesekmīgi, jo savākt tik daudz parakstus, ļaudīm ejot pie notāra, neizdodas. Un grūti pateikt, vai kādreiz Latvijā kāds referendums vēl notiks. Ja vien  likumos atkal netiks veiktas kādas izmaiņas. Vajadzētu Latvijas tautai uzticēt kaut vai rosināt vairāk izlemt kādus grūtākus jautājums, vai tā ir spējīga lemt? Varbūt tiešām ir drošāk, ka visu nosaka deleģētie tautas kalpi.
