My guest in this episode is Lucas Schuermann, co-founder of Variational, which seeks to bring the trillion-dollar OTC derivatives market on chain.This is my second episode on Variational. A little over a year ago I spoke with Lucas's co-founder, Edward Yu. In that time, the mission hasn't changed, but a lot else has.We begin with a re-introduction to the business and its retail-facing platform, Omni. Unlike a central limit order book, where a crowd of competing market makers quote against unknown flow, every trade on Omni is quoted by a single, internal liquidity provider — OLP — through a request-for-quote model that segregates flow. Because OLP knows who it's trading with, it can price retail flow as non-toxic: netting offsetting positions against each other, warehousing what it chooses to keep, and hedging only the residual risk externally. It's a model that let Variational list a long tail of crypto-native assets at competitive spreads, even where on-platform open interest remained thin.The surge in demand for real-world asset exposure on chain has pushed that model in two directions.The first is widening where those hedges can go. Rather than trying to rebuild forty years of traditional market depth on a crypto order book, Variational has built a global network of dealer relationships to tap into it directly.The second is questioning whether the perpetual future is even the right instrument. Perp funding is driven by where the contract trades relative to its index, which makes it volatile and hard to forecast. Variational's answer is a swap: a price-return leg plus an explicit financing leg, priced off short rates — a far more predictable cost of carry for anyone who wants to hold levered exposure for the long haul. And there's currently over a billion dollars of dealer capacity behind it.I hope you enjoy my conversation with Lucas Schuermann.

In this episode of Conversations with Interpreter, we interview ‘Alisi K. Langi, an assistant professor in faculty of Ancient Scripture at Brigham University-Hawaii, looking at her paper “Throwing Greater Views Upon Jesus Christ and His Gospel Through Named & Unnamed Women in the Small Plates of Nephi.” Doctor Langi's paper looks at how women are presented in the small plates (1 Nephi through Omni) and especially what it can teach us about Jesus Christ. In this interview, Langi points out that because so few women are mentioned in the small plates, it can be easy to think that they are unimportant to the narrative or among the Nephites, but nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, as Dr. Langi shows nothing could be further from the truth. The paper under discussion here was written for a conference held at Brigham Young University in Provo. The post Conversations with Interpreter: ‘Alisi K. Langi: Named and Unnamed Women in the Small Plates first appeared on The Interpreter Foundation.

At Gamescom, Parris Lilly catches up with Lead Combat Designer from Rebel Wolves, to discuss the immersive combat systems in The Blood of Dawnwalker. He breaks down the design behind the game's directional sword fighting, optional accessibility options like Omni-blocks, and how the team balanced combat difficulty to keep players engaged. The conversation also covers player customization, skill tree trade-offs, and the mechanical differences between playing as a human utilizing witchcraft during the day versus a brutal vampire at night.

On this episode of What Happened When, Tony Schiavone and Conrad Thompson fire up the time machine and revisit the August 30, 1986, edition of World Championship Wrestling! Jim Crockett announces that the National Tag Team Championship is being rebranded as the United States Tag Team Championship, and much of the program is devoted to promoting a massive one night tournament at the Omni to crown the inaugural champions. Plus, Wahoo McDaniel captures the National Heavyweight Championship from Tully Blanchard in Los Angeles, the Kansas Jayhawks confront Jim Cornette and Big Bubba, and Ric Flair delivers another tremendous television match against Mike Jackson. Then, the show closes with chaos as the Four Horsemen confront Dick Murdoch only for Dusty Rhodes and Magnum T.A. to rush to his defense! Fall is approaching, the rivalries are intensifying, and both excitement and heartbreak are on the horizon. This is Jim Crockett Promotions in the 1980s!     THIS WEEKS SPONSORS LARINECO - Larineco is better-for-you chewing gum that uses the same mineral your teeth are made of to support daily enamel health.

Episode 185 of the Award Travel 101 podcast features Angie Sparks and guest Xan Tanner, founder of Gondola AI. The episode opens with a helpful reminder about using unused Instacart credits to support food banks through Community Carts, followed by several travel-industry updates. Citi is refreshing the American Airlines Executive Card with new perks, including American Airlines Vacations, in-flight and Admirals Club credits, Omni and Avis status, and enhanced Lyft and loyalty benefits, although the annual fee is increasing to $695. Angie also highlights current transfer bonuses, including 30% from Amex Membership Rewards to Avios programs and 40% from Citi ThankYou Points to Turkish, as well as Frontier's limited-time $199 GoWild! Pass. Angie and Xan also share recent credit-card wins and upcoming travel plans, including trips to Chicago, Milwaukee, Anguilla, Sicily, and Istanbul.The main topic is Gondola AI, which Xan developed after years of traveling for work and wondering whether AI could manage travel more efficiently—earning more points, saving money, and understanding an individual traveler's preferences. Gondola has evolved significantly with advances in AI and is now available on the web, through its app, and within ChatGPT, where results can be personalized based on a user's points and travel profile. Unlike many award-search and “reservation gardening” tools, Gondola is free and can book directly for users, allowing them to retain points, status benefits, and other perks while also earning Gondola Cash. The platform monitors hotel, flight, and car reservations for price drops and can reprice bookings when possible, while generating revenue through hotel and rental commissions that it shares with users.For casual travelers, Xan recommends taking advantage of Gondola's status challenge, which can increase Triplestacking rewards from 3% to 5% after booking three nights during the first week. The episode closes with a reminder to use your points rather than letting them sit, especially as loyalty programs continue to devalue their currencies—as demonstrated by Marriott's recent 6% devaluation. The broader message is that travelers should take advantage of their points and available benefits now while using tools like Gondola AI to automate the work of finding savings and maximizing rewards.Episode Links:Unused Instacart creditsCiti AA Executive refreshAmex to Avios transfer bonusFrontier Go Wild passWhere to Find UsThe Award Travel 101 Facebook Community.To book time with our team, check out Award Travel 1-on-1.You can also email us at 101@award.travelBuy your Award Travel 101 Merch hereReserve tickets to our Late Summer 2026 Meetup in Milwaukee now. award.travel/mke2026Our partner CardPointers helps us get the most from our cards.

In this episode of the Kubernetes Bytes podcast, Bhavin talks to Phil Andrews, Global Field CTO at Cast AI about all things AI. The discussion starts by talking about why you don't need an Opus class or Fable/Mythos class model for each task, and how Kimchi from Cast AI can help manage the quality of your output with the cost associated with routing between different models. They also talk about Omni which allows customers to get GPUs across hyperscalers and neocloud providers. Listen to learn more!

In this episode, Ray Cochrane breaks down NVIDIA’s case for world action models, the shift that swaps a robot’s picture-describing backbone for one trained to predict what happens next. He also covers Perseverance closing in on the off-world driving record, a derelict SpaceX rocket stage hitting the Moon, and Anthropic’s rework of Claude Fable 5’s biology safeguards. Finally, he digs into Gemini Omni, Google’s undisclosed trip-planning rankings, the Danube’s record low, and iFixit’s call for Apple to unlock the iPad bootloader. – Want to start a podcast?

Like and Follow Geek News Central’s Facebook Page. Support my Show Sponsor: Best Godaddy Promo Codes Get 1Password Full Summary Cochrane opens with a personal update. Wildfires in Eastern Oregon made for a rough week of heavy smoke, and a local building burned down, which he calls a real tragedy. Meanwhile, his work at Blubrry has centered on PowerPress fixes, where reproducing customer-reported bugs remains the biggest headache. Support tickets rarely carry enough detail, and the errors themselves are often too vague to diagnose. Consequently, he is leaning toward a stronger logging and error layer, and he asks experienced developers to share what actually works for them. Beyond VLAs: NVIDIA’s Case for World Action Models The featured story comes from NVIDIA’s developer blog, and it answers a question sitting underneath this year’s robot news. Why do robot arms fall apart the moment anything changes? Move a cup six inches, swap its shape, or change the lighting, and a policy that worked perfectly in training fails. The answer, according to NVIDIA, is not the robot but the model underneath it. For the last few years, the dominant approach has been the vision-language-action model, or VLA, built on an AI that originally learned to describe pictures. Consequently, it recognizes a banana it has never seen, in a kitchen it has never seen, yet it has no idea what that banana will do next. As the article puts it, such a model “does not learn what happens to a mug when the gripper closes, how a towel folds, where an object lands when released.” Because the physics never arrives with the model, every scrap of it has to come out of hand-recorded demonstrations. The proposed fix swaps the foundation entirely. Instead of building on a model that learned to caption images, a world action model builds on one trained to predict how video continues, so the physics is already paid for. Notably, these models output an action and a prediction of what the robot’s cameras will see, in the same pass. Cochrane likens it to forethought, imagining your own motion as you make it. NVIDIA’s implementation is Cosmos 3, pretrained on roughly 767 million images and 348 million videos of real-world dynamics. It ships in 4, 16, and 64 billion parameter sizes named Edge, Nano, and Super, and it runs in real time on a Jetson Thor board bolted to the robot itself. Cochrane recalls his dad owning one of those Jetson boards, and he asks anyone working in robotics to explain how the throughput figures fit together. However, he closes on an open question: where did 348 million videos actually come from? For deeper detail, he points listeners to the source article and to NVIDIA researcher Jim Fan.

Perseverance Closes In on the Off-World Driving Record Ars Technica reports that NASA’s Perseverance rover is about to take the record for most distance driven on another world. The mark sits at roughly 28 miles, set by NASA’s own Opportunity rover across more than fourteen years before it went quiet in 2018. As Cochrane works out on air, that averages about two miles a year. Perseverance will pass it in roughly five years instead. The difference is a navigation system called AutoNav. Since a radio signal takes several minutes to reach Mars, earlier rovers crept along pre-plotted routes and stopped every half meter to think. Perseverance carries a second computer dedicated to processing what its cameras see, so it plans while the wheels keep turning. Consequently, about ninety percent of its driving is autonomous, against roughly ten percent for Curiosity, and it averages around 110 meters an hour rather than 15 to 18. Cochrane notes researchers finding the rover at planned sites days ahead of schedule, and he wonders aloud whether world action models might drive the next one. A SpaceX Rocket Stage Slammed Into the Moon Next, Smithsonian Magazine covered the Falcon 9 upper stage that struck the Moon on August 5. That stage flew back in January 2025, carrying Firefly’s Blue Ghost and ispace’s Resilience landers, and it was never meant to end up there. SpaceX’s Julianna Scheiman says a mixture of solar activity and gravity nudged the derelict onto a lunar path after nineteen months adrift. Four tonnes of dead hardware arrived at about 5,400 miles per hour. Nobody watched it happen, and the reason is a nice bit of physics. It struck sunlit ground near a crater called Einstein, and no impact flash has ever been detected on the lit part of the Moon. However, the instruments caught the aftermath. South Korea’s Danuri orbiter imaged a dark new mark, while the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope picked up sodium and lithium in the plume, the lithium possibly shed by the rocket itself. Astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell quipped that he has “Sir Isaac Newton’s personal assurance that it did indeed hit the moon,” while planetary scientist Hannah Sargeant warns against making a habit of it. Cochrane points out the Apollo landing sites are still sitting up there. Anthropic Reworks Claude Fable 5’s Biology Safeguards Anthropic published a post on how Claude Fable 5 handles biology questions, and the bind is genuine. Biology is the textbook dual-use problem, since the knowledge behind reading your own lab results also helps someone build a weapon. Rather than refusing outright, a classifier watches for risky requests and quietly reroutes them to Claude Opus 5, a capable model without Fable 5’s biological depth. Anthropic calls that mechanism a fallback. The trouble was how often it fired on people doing nothing wrong. This update cut biology-related fallbacks by roughly 85 percent in Anthropic’s own testing, with expected overall drops of 67 percent on Claude.ai and 55 percent on Cowork. Genuinely dual-use territory still trips it, and Anthropic names virology, toxicology, and molecular design. Cochrane hit the old behavior himself and found it irritating, so he welcomes the refinement. Even so, he would rather see a false positive than a model helping someone produce a virus. Five Builders Put Gemini Omni Through Its Paces Google highlighted five builders working with Gemini Omni. Omni is a model rather than an app, and it generates video from text, images, other video, or audio, while also editing footage you already have. Google claims it “combines an intuitive understanding of physics with Gemini’s real-world knowledge,” citing gravity, kinetic energy, and fluid dynamics. As Cochrane observes, that is the same bet NVIDIA is making with robots, only pointed at video generation instead. He also flags a naming collision worth knowing about. NVIDIA calls its architecture an omni-model while Google’s product is simply Omni, two different things landing in the same week. Additionally, he encourages listeners to watch the demos, though he still senses a disconnect in AI-generated video and concedes that knowing its origin may color the impression. Gemini Wants to Plan Your Vacation Another Gemini piece, a how-to on trip planning, drew Cochrane’s sharpest take of the night. Gemini plugs straight into Google Maps, Flights, and Hotels, pulling live locations, reviews, and prices to build an itinerary. Switch on a feature called Personal Intelligence, and it reads across your Google apps, turning a messy trip-planning email chain into a clean master plan. Clever, but he calls it extremely concerning. Once these become services, he expects partnerships to quietly push particular hotels, restaurants, resorts, and destinations onto users. Notably, Google’s post never explains how any of it gets ranked, and the words sponsored, ad, affiliate, commission, and paid never appear once. There is no disclosure of a commercial arrangement, and no denial of one either. Meanwhile the post hands readers off to Viator to book tours without describing that relationship at all. Cochrane suspects the real effect shows up slowly, in the shape of small businesses continuing to disappear. The Senate Blocks a Rule on Who Controls Research Money Science reports that the Senate passed a temporary spending bill in the early hours of Saturday the 8th. The Senate’s version carries a one-paragraph rider the House version lacks, and that rider stops the White House Office of Management and Budget from finalizing a set of proposed rules. OMB builds the president’s budget, clears agency regulations, and controls how approved money actually reaches agencies. The bill itself is a stopgap, which prevents a shutdown without settling anything. The rules reach every organization that takes federal money, a pot of roughly $1.1 trillion across 41 agencies, about $150 billion of it research grants. They would let political appointees second-guess which grants get funded, allow awarded grants to be pulled when the work does not match presidential priorities, and put several countries off limits for research partnerships, China first among them. Senator Susan Collins pushed the block through after telling OMB director Russell Vought the proposal was deeply flawed, noting nearly 500,000 public comments, the vast majority opposed. However, the 90-6 vote is not law. Both chambers are on recess. Vought reportedly said the rule would not have been finalized before December anyway, and the block only lasts as long as the stopgap, which expires December 11. The Danube Falls to a Record Low ESA published a pair of Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite images showing the same bend of the Danube, 45 kilometers upstream of Budapest, photographed a year apart. Cochrane calls the before-and-after shocking, going from green to brown completely. Wire reports put the Budapest gauge near 10 centimeters at the start of the month, about four inches of water, against a previous record of 33 centimeters set in 2018. The knock-on effects arrived fast. Budapest ran short on both power and drinking water, while the shrinking flow concentrated pollution in what remained. Romania hit record lows on its own stretch as well. Cochrane hopes the recovery is already underway. What a Heatwave Actually Does to the Power Grid That river story runs directly into a Carbon Brief factcheck. Nuclear plants cool themselves with river water, so when the Danube dropped, plants in Hungary and Romania throttled back and pulled roughly 2.5 gigawatts off the grid. Romania declared a state of alert in its energy sector, and its navy reportedly used explosives to steer more water toward a plant intake. Carbon Brief then walked through what heatwaves do to each way of making electricity. Nuclear loses efficiency when the cooling water is already warm, though its shutdowns are mostly regulatory rather than mechanical. Gas turbines pull in less air because hot air is thinner, costing capacity. Wind falls off hardest, since a heatwave is a big stalled dome of high pressure and nearly still air. Solar is the surprise: cells genuinely do get less efficient as they heat up, yet total output climbs anyway, with UK solar up 46 percent during a four-day June heatwave against the week before. Butterflies Are on the Move Everywhere A new study in Nature Ecology and Evolution covered 1,758 butterfly species, roughly one in ten of every species we have named. The team pulled 6,182 records from 105 countries, reading non-English research alongside 68 expert write-ups. Four out of five species pushed into new territory, and about 79 percent of the logged shifts traced back to climate change and extreme weather. Separately, 27 percent saw their range shrink somewhere, and 22 percent moved up or down a mountain slope chasing cooler air. That sounds like good news, and it really is not. Expansion means a boundary moved, not that butterflies are thriving, since a species can push its northern edge forward while its southern edge quietly collapses. Lead author Shawan Chowdhury says the shifts turn up on every continent where butterflies occur. Additionally, monitoring gaps leave Central Africa, Southeast Asia, New Guinea, and the Amazon Basin barely counted at all. Cochrane recalls hearing years ago that butterflies were disappearing in Hawaii, and he invites listeners spotting unfamiliar species locally to contribute what they see. Primates Make Friends Across Species Cochrane called this one a fun find. A study in the journal Primates, led by Cyril Grueter at Oxford, gathered 427 documented cases going back to the 1970s across 88 primate species and 127 partner species. Play and grooming dominated at 139 and 136 cases, alongside carrying, huddling, food sharing, and even adoption. Primates usually started the interactions themselves, with juveniles playing most, adult females handling grooming and caregiving, and adult males least likely to join in. The examples are remarkable. Japanese macaques on the island of Yakushima groom sika deer and climb on their backs, a silverback gorilla cradled a tiny wild bushbaby, and wild capuchins in Brazil adopted an infant marmoset in a bond that held for weeks. However, Grueter rejects the pet-keeping headline and prefers the hedged term proto-pet keeping. The actual claim is smaller and more interesting: curiosity, tolerance, caregiving, and play have roots running far deeper than humans do. iFixit Tells Apple to Unlock the iPad Finally, an opinion piece from Charlie Sorrel at iFixit struck a chord. This fall, iPadOS 27 drops support for a batch of older iPads, including the 8th-generation iPad, the third-generation Air, the fifth-generation mini, and the first-generation iPad Pros. Cochrane owns one of those Pros and reports it still works fine. Those devices will not break, but they stop getting OS and security updates until apps abandon them and the battery gives out. The obvious second life is Linux, except the bootloader stays locked. Apple’s iBoot will not load anything else, unlike a Mac, a PC, or most Android phones. Sorrel argues it “should be a user choice, not a vendor choice,” and Cochrane agrees flatly. You own the device, so why does Apple decide what runs on it? He compares the situation to jailbreaking, and he suspects most consumers have never pushed back simply because it never occurs to them. Nevertheless, he hopes an unlock eventually breathes new life into hardware that still works perfectly well.

AI is moving beyond text, images, and code. Now it's learning to read and write -- shall we say program -- DNA.In this episode of NEXT, John Koetsier talks with Eric Nguyen, co-founder and CEO of Radical Numerics, about the rapidly emerging world of biological AI.Nguyen and his team helped create Evo and Evo 2, generative foundation models for DNA, and are now working toward what they call “general biological intelligence”: AI systems capable of understanding biology across DNA, gene expression, methylation, proteins, and other biological signals.The potential upside is enormous. These systems could help scientists detect cancer earlier, develop treatments for antibiotic-resistant superbugs, understand disease more deeply, and eventually design countermeasures to emerging biological threats on demand.But the same capabilities introduce serious risks.Nguyen explains how AI could potentially generate biological sequences that retain dangerous functions while evading traditional sequence-matching detection systems ... essentially creating biological “deepfakes.” He also discusses why AI labs need to develop biodefense capabilities alongside increasingly powerful biological design tools.The conversation covers DNA foundation models, AI-generated viruses, biosecurity, pathogen detection, wastewater surveillance, attribution of biological threats, antimicrobial resistance, cancer detection, open-source versus closed-source biological AI, and why biology may be the next major frontier for artificial intelligence.00:00 AI-designed DNA and “deepfake” viruses00:21 AI is moving into biology00:55 Meet Eric Nguyen of Radical Numerics01:20 Why DNA is a language01:39 Teaching AI to read and write DNA02:54 What happens when AI can create biological systems?03:15 The promise and risks of programmable DNA04:32 The medical upside of AI-driven biology04:58 Moving beyond single-molecule drug discovery06:30 Can AI model the complexity of the human body?06:59 Biology has more data than we know how to use08:38 Where all the DNA data comes from09:12 The dangerous side of AI-generated biology10:01 What is a “deepfake virus”?12:41 Could AI make pathogens more dangerous?14:36 Putting AI biodefense on the front lines16:56 The three pillars of biodefense18:22 On-demand treatments for new diseases19:11 How close is this future?21:53 Why biodefense capabilities are falling behind24:36 Should powerful DNA models be open source?25:40 How Evo and Evo 2 were made safer26:49 Why Radical Numerics is keeping Omni closed27:55 AI-generated bacteriophages and superbugs29:23 Balancing breakthrough biology with biosecurity30:53 Using AI to detect cancer earlier32:08 Why cancer detection needs multiple biological signals33:49 “Sensor fusion” for biology34:24 Why a holistic view of medicine matters

At 6 years old, Kevin Keller was already "stealing" his father's cologne — a habit generously tolerated by his dad — and discovering that scent could change the way you felt before you ever said a word.That early fascination with transformation eventually became Fulton & Roark, the American fine fragrance house Keller co-founded in 2013 with $11,000 and a belief that perfumery could be both deeply personal and distinctly American.Raised in Atlanta and educated at Georgia State University and Wake Forest University, Keller began his career in journalism before turning to music and culture, where he profiled brilliant emerging musicians and artists. What stayed with him was a fascination with culture, place, and tradition — and how those forces subtly shape the way we carry ourselves in the world.Built without outside capital, Fulton & Roark has grown into a nationally distributed independent fragrance brand, available in nearly 500 retail locations including premier independent boutiques, select Ritz-Carlton and Omni properties, and Neiman Marcus stores and online. The brand has been featured in GQ, Vogue, and ELLE, among others, and its fragrance Roark's Cove was a finalist for the Universal Prestige category of the Fragrance of the Year Award from The Fragrance Foundation.He lives in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, with his wife and two children, and mentors young founders at Wake Forest University.In This Conversation We Discuss:[00:00] Introduction[01:08] Solid fragrances vs extrait de parfum[02:08] How the founder's love of fragrance began[03:16] Founding a niche brand with $11,000[05:26] Going to market without a DTC plan[07:39] Sponsor: IntelliGems[09:19] The GQ feature that forced them online[11:37] Building first websites on Squarespace[12:37] Sponsor: Klaviyo[14:47] Building the marketing flywheel[18:04] Sponsor: eFulfillment Service[19:40] Getting customers to pay for samples[22:37] Callouts[25:26] Why founders overrate daily metrics[27:30] Learning to delegate as a founder[27:54] Where to find Fulton & Roark[29:02] Final thoughtsResources:Subscribe to Honest Ecommerce on YoutubeAmerican Fine Fragrance fultonandroark.com/ Follow Kevin Keller linkedin.com/in/kevinwilliamkeller Book a demo today at intelligems.io/ Migrate and grow more klaviyo.com/honest Lower scale costs today FulfillmentService.com/honest If you're enjoying the show, we'd love it if you left Honest Ecommerce a review on Apple Podcasts.

Colin spent eight years building Looker into a $2.7B Google acquisition. Then he left to compete with his own product. He thought traction would take a month—it took nine. A hundred demos got him five verbally-committed customers, and he lost all five. So he spent two months killing bugs, went on one podcast, and won every single trial that came out of it. Omni just raised over $250M.In this episode, Colin breaks down how to tell the difference between a product that's genuinely better and one the market just doesn't want, why founding with $30M didn't stop them from staying stingy, and the LinkedIn playbook that turned 6,000 connections into a 90% response rate.Why You Should ListenWhy losing every deal doesn't mean the idea is wrong—and how to know the difference.Why real differentiation shows up as "wow" moments in demos, not signed contracts.The LinkedIn social-selling playbook that built Omni's first pipeline.Why hiring sellers from your old industry hands you their Rolodex on day one.Keywords startup podcast, startup podcast for founders, product market fit, finding pmf, Omni, Colin Zima, Looker, business intelligence, BI tools, enterprise SaaS, AI analytics, social selling, LinkedIn outbound, founder-led sales, innovator's dilemmaChapters00:00:00 Intro00:01:58 The Moment of True Product Market Fit00:06:16 Losing All Five Deals and Doubling Down00:10:43 Leaving Looker to Compete With Looker00:17:39 Founding With $30M and Staying Stingy00:22:09 A Hundred Demos Before the Flywheel00:32:15 No Silver Bullet—Just Do More of Everything00:38:32 The LinkedIn Social-Selling Playbook00:46:07 Hiring the Best People You've Worked WithSend me a message to let me know what you think!

What is God like? How does who he is impact what we do with our lives? In "Now Showing," we walk through some of the attritbutes of God and why they matter for our daily living. In Part 2, Pastor Matt teaches about God's power, presence, and knowledge.Omniscience - God Knows Everything.God possesses perfect, complete knowledge of all things—past, present, future, actual, and possible. Because of this, he knows exactly what is happening in our minds and hearts at any moment. Nothing is invisible to him. While this can be a terrifying realization if we are not right with God, it can also be a comfort. If we reject God, his perfect knowledge means he knows all our wrongdoing. However if we have accepted Christ as our Lord then his perfect knowledge means he is able to comfort us perfectly. He knows our struggles and can help us through them.Omnipresence - God Is Present Everywhere.God is fully present everywhere; there is no place in creation where God is absent. As with the last attribute, this can be a terror or a comfort depending on your perspective. If we reject God, his inescapable presence is cause for trembling and fear. For Christians, his ever-present guidance is a delight. God is always near to us and able to help us in times of trouble. Because of this, we can trust him with our fears.Omnipotence - God Is All-Powerful.God possesses unlimited power and is able to accomplish everything consistent with His nature and will. As has been a consistent theme, this too is either terrible or magnificent news depending on our relationship to God. Those who rebel against God rightly fear punishment, knowing that God has the power to administer it. Those who trust in God rightly rely on his strength to defend and uphold us in our weakness.Because God is Omni, submit your life to Him.These three attributes reveal an incredible binary between those who follow God and those who reject him. On one hand, the one who rejects God knows God's reach is inescapable, that he sees all sin, and that he can punish that sin. The Christian, on the other hand, rests safely in the knowledge that those infinite attributes are on his side. God's power, presence, and knowledge are a comfort, not a curse to the one who trust in God. Will you place your trust in God today?

Watch This Episode On YouTubeI couldn't stop laughing during the funniest film of the year, directed by my guest, Elliot Connors. It's called FULL FRONTAL, or if you want to use the full title (and you should), it's I'M GOING FULL FRONTAL FOR MY NYU STUDENT SHORT FILM (2026), streaming today, August 4th, 2026 on NoBudge.I'd argue getting laughs is the hardest thing to do in independent film so that's why comedies are so relatively rare. And to do it in a short film -- that's a tough sell.But Elliot has the, um, goods: He is a 2026 Just for Laughs “New Face” for his adult animated series OMNI, about a dystopian virtual reality and the group of lovable curmudgeons trying to change it. BA from Yale, MFA from NYU, just one watch of FULL FRONTAL, you'll see what I mean. It's so, so fucking funny.But seriously: not safe for work. I'm in early on the Elliot Connors rocket ship and can't wait to get to the Moon.Hat tip to the absolute best friend of the pod, Hope Lawson, for making this conversation happen.In this episode, Elliot and I talk about:the insane reaction at NoBudge 50 for this film;how he describes the film and the reaction for people after watching it;how he got involved in filmmaking;the difficulty of making comedy work on screen;the importance of trusted people on what's funny;handling intimate filming and how he made the case and crew feel comfortable;why NoBudge?what NYU's writing program feels about streaming vs. festival rollouts;watching a lot of stuff versus a new perspective;what's next for him;the challenges of getting comedy shows produced nowadays.Elliot's Indie Film Highlights: PAJARITO (2026) dir. by Pilar Garcia-Fernandezsesma; JEFFREY, BAD DAY (2025) dir. by Theo Matza; COUPLES THEFTAPY (2026) dir. by Kiran ArainMemorable Quotes:" Kentucker was saying, "We probably got a good 20 seconds of penis there." And I was joking that I'd used a prosthetic, so it wasn't my real penis, but it was my real penis. And there's plenty of it in the film."" I grew up watching, like binging comedy sitcoms."" If the jokes are working for you on the page, chances are it'll translate."" So I'm always getting notes on my features of "this is not quite working." But when I write a half-hour comedy, I get a lot more positive feedback because I feel like I know the rhythm more."" The director of my program, when I said, "should I really be studying screenwriting at such a tough time for the industry?" He said, "It's always tough."Links:Follow Elliot On InstagramElliot Connors Website

This week's Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report covers red-hot Gulf Coast fishing from bluewater current breaks to Dauphin Island beach trout.  Butch Thierry is joined by Angelo DePaola, who opens the show with an update on the Abaco Orange Beach development and how boating, fishing, waterfront access, and lifestyle are driving strong interest in the project. Tom Hilton of Realtime Navigator follows with a detailed offshore breakdown after the recent tropical weather, explaining how cleaner water, color changes, sea surface temperatures, altimetry, current, and structure should guide anglers looking for blue marlin, tuna, wahoo, mahi, and other pelagics. Capt. Myles Colley of It Just Takes Time joins next for a deep offshore conversation on big-game fishing, Omni sonar, tuna tubes, live baiting, trolling teasers, pitch baits, current direction, boat handling, and how aggressive drag pressure can help anglers land more billfish and tuna. He also shares a wild story about releasing a giant blue marlin years ago near the Nipple and Elbow area. To close it out, Capt. Cody Broughton checks in from Dauphin Island with a strong inshore report, breaking down the live-croaker beach bite for speckled trout, night fishing, major bite windows, rigging details, leader choices, croaker placement, flounder, tarpon, and how long the summer beach trout pattern may last.

Steve Dennis and Michael LeBlanc open episode 308 with a check on Steve's number one prediction for 2026 — uncertainty reigns supreme — and it's holding up. The flat 10% global tariff is gone, replaced by a 10–12.5% range on nearly all U.S. imports, with steeper rates for Canada and Brazil. The new forced-labor justification behind the increases strikes Steve and Michael as ridiculous and unlikely to survive a court challenge. The retail numbers look better than the tariff logic. June retail sales rose 5.7% year over year, led by sporting goods (a World Cup bump) and electronics. Grocery managed just 1%. Steve walks through why: dollars flat, units falling, prices 33% above pre-COVID levels, food bank use climbing on both sides of the border. Albertsons is the clearest case — sales nearly flat, guidance cut, stock down 20% in a day. Then, recorded live in the pop-up studio at the CommerceNext Growth Show in New York, Ulta Beauty Chief Retail Officer Amiee Bayer-Thomas argues stores are queen. Thirty years into a career she calls a lattice rather than a ladder — seven roles at Ulta alone, including chief supply chain officer through 2020 — she now owns everything from site selection and store design to services, asset protection, eventing, and the omni guest journey. Stores, she says, are experiential hubs delivering "beautytainment" through 60,000 associates across 1,500 locations. The numbers: 47 million loyalty members, 95% of whom shopped in-store last year. A NielsenIQ study of Gen Alpha found the most AI-engaged shoppers still pick stores over apps, 57% versus 36%. Amiee's take on AI: it's an "and," not an "or." Technology can flag a replenishment; only an associate reads the confusion on a guest's face in the skincare aisle. Omni guests visit and spend three times more. She previews a Times Square flagship alongside outlet and small-format stores, plus an eventing calendar headed toward 140,000 events this year. In the news, Wayfair is expanding its store footprint. Shein is heading toward a Hong Kong listing at roughly half its 2022 valuation. Also on the radar: fuel costs rising again as back-to-school and holiday approach, and U.S. population growth of 0.25% turning retail into a fight over share.

In this episode, Kamille demonstrates the power and limitations of using Claude and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to build an Airtable base from scratch. She walks through a live experiment where she prompts Claude to create a complex meal planner, including tables for recipes, ingredients, and a shopping list, as well as the necessary automations and interfaces. The team also dives into recent Airtable updates, including the new Slack integration and the ability to manage automations via MCP. They discuss the current limitations of AI-driven base building—such as the inability to edit existing interfaces or handle script steps—and compare the experiences of using Claude versus Airtable's Omni.

What if the future of analytics wasn't about building another middleware layer, but about getting closer to the actual business user? In this episode, Benjamin sits down with Chris Merrick, CTO and cofounder of Omni, to explore why semantic layers matter more than ever in an agentic world, how AI is reshaping embedded analytics and customer-facing data experiences, and the key strategies for keeping complex data models aligned across federated sources. Whether you're building analytics platforms, managing data infrastructure, or trying to make AI work at scale, this conversation is packed with practical insights on balancing governed analytics with exploratory AI, unifying disparate data sources, and capturing business intelligence beyond just the metrics in your warehouse. Tune in to discover how the next generation of analytics platforms will need to think about the entire business, not just the data.

Mike runs a solo Coffee Time Kicks episode and sits down with a friend of the show, Jason Faustino, Senior Director of Energy at Saucony. Fresh off the brand's Paris preview, Jason breaks down how Saucony builds its creative world: why knowing exactly who you are beats chasing anyone else, how collaborations really get vetted (it comes down to chemistry and gut), and how a small team stays two years out on product while making it look effortless.They get into the Westside Gun partnership and the passing of the torch from Jae Tips, why Jason sees himself as working for the artists as much as the brand, the Ride 1 revival, the slow-burn rise of the Guide 7, and a Crystal Caves colorway coming back on the Triumph 4. If you want to understand what makes Saucony tick right now, this is the one.In this episode:Why Saucony leans all the way into its own identityHow collabs actually get vetted, and why it comes down to a feelingThe Westside Gun and Jae Tips storyProtecting artistic freedom inside a corporate structureThe two-years-out product development timelineRide 1, Guide 7, Omni 9, and the Crystal Caves Triumph 4Why in-person community still beats the transactional stuffFollow Jason on Instagram @um.jf13.

Just imagine a scientist going to the supermarket where he picks up a banana, an antenna from a blue crab and a whisker from a catfish. He takes them back to his lab, hooks them together and connects the whole thing to his computer. He calls it a “bananatrode” and uses it to detect chemicals from the human body called dopamine.While scientists don't actually do that, the scene is not so far-fetched. The crab antenna can detect tiny traces of amino acids in salt water. You see, crabs find their lunch by sensing and tracing down amino acids in the water. The catfish whisker can detect equally small amounts of amino acids in fresh water and they both can do so extremely quickly. Scientists know that these natural sensors work much faster and are more sensitive than man's rather cumbersome methods of laboratory analysis. For that reason they are being seriously studied for human medical use. One such application is a glucose sensor for an artificial pancreas. Oh, and the banana? That was for the scientist's lunch.It is amazing to consider that while the crab and the catfish are pretty low on the evolutionary ladder yet they have these wonderful abilities not even matched by twenty-first century technology. Surely, this is more reasonably evidence of superb design in the beginning by our Creator.Psalm 147:5"Great is our Lord, and of great power; His understanding is infinite."Prayer: Dear Father in heaven, You have filled Your creation with wonderful miracles of design so that men would seek You Who made them all. Preserve me from the pagan sin of putting the creation over You, the Creator. In Jesus' Name. Amen.Ref: Kay Cahill, “Animal Sensors,” OMNI.

One of the greatest questions in biology asks how a single fertilized cell divides into many different cells - some become liver cells, skin cells, brain cells and bone cells. This is the ultimate way of asking the question, “Where do babies come from?”Human growth factor, a chemical produced by our body, is being studied to see if it is responsible for the development of all those different cells from a single cell. However, this is only one of thirty known chemicals that influence the development of new cells. Another powerful chemical, called GM-CSF for short, has now been synthesized as a drug and stimulates the development of white blood cells in the bone marrow. This drug has saved otherwise doomed patients who have lost virtually all of their bone marrow by exposure to radiation. Nerve growth factor is another being studied as a possible treatment for Alzheimer's disease and for use in re-attaching limbs.Do you notice where all of these incredible chemicals come from? They don't come from laboratories staffed with the best brains in science. They are produced by our bodies. Science should stand in awe at the evident wisdom behind those chemical structures and the way they work. And that's one of the best arguments that we were created by a wise and powerful Creator, not by mindless chemical accidents!Psalm 139:14"I will praise Thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Thy works, and that my soul knoweth right well."Prayer: Dear Lord, I am truly fearfully and wonderfully made. I ask that you would guide medical researchers so that they may learn how to use the substances You have created for the earthly betterment of our condition and that You would be glorified through this.

One of our Creation Moments listeners has written to ask how evolutionists explain the development of male and female. The problem is, if a mutation produced the first male, it isn't likely that another mutation would have produced the first female at the same time and in the same neighborhood. The writer further pointed out that studies now show that with the current genetic errors we all carry within us, one male and one female would not be enough to establish a new population of male and female creatures.The question is important. Evolutionists have admitted that their theory does not have a satisfactory explanation for how male and female could have developed. One evolutionist even noted that because evolutionists have no credible explanation, most textbooks simply ignore the question as obvious as it is.But evolutionists also point out that the problems in explaining the origins of male and female are even greater than those I've already mentioned. They now admit that their studies show that if creatures progress by evolution, creatures that reproduce sexually would be at a disadvantage. Even worse, sexual reproduction is, as one evolutionist put it, designed to weed out the very genetic variations that supposedly cause evolution!It is difficult to understand, then, how anyone could say that evolution offers a better explanation of life than the Bible's creation account.Genesis 6:19"And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female."Prayer: Dear Father, I thank You that in Your wisdom You have made us male and female, and that You have done so in a way which confounds man's rebellious wisdom. Help this fact be a witness to Your glory. In Jesus' Name. Amen.Ref: Kathleen McAuliffe, “Why we have sex,” OMNI.

The CPG Guys are joined in this episode by Christine Gambino, CEO of Omni, Omnicom's next-generation marketing and sales intelligence platform. It connects strategy, creativity, media, CRM, commerce, data, and AI to help brands grow with greater clarity, speed, and measurable business impact.Follow Christine on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christine-gambino-59683ab8Follow Omni online at: https://www.omc.com/omni/Christine answers these questions:Christine, you came up through Flywheel — one of the most commerce-native organizations in the industry — and now you're operating at the platform level as CEO of Omni. What did that journey from commerce practitioner to enterprise platform operator teach you about what CPG brands actually need from a marketing intelligence system?Your move from Flywheel to Omni was a deliberate cross-capability appointment. What was the mandate when you stepped into the CEO role, and what did you see as the biggest operational gaps you needed to close?At CES you demonstrated Omni live — walking through a campaign brief in real time, from media budget breakdowns to synthetic audiences to creator suggestions. For a CPG brand team watching that demo, what's the "aha moment" you're trying to create? In other words, What should click for them?You've been clear that Omni is additive, not a replacement — your words were: "It's meant to give real-time insights to teams and brands through our agentic environment." For CPG marketers who are worried about what AI means for their jobs, how do you make that case authentically, not just rhetorically?Omni now integrates Acxiom's 2.6 billion consumer profiles, Flywheel Commerce Cloud, and IPG's data and technology assets. That's a massive data convergence. How are you ensuring that consolidation creates clarity and speed for CPG clients rather than complexity?Omni is reported as having 41+ frontier LLM models and 24,000 monthly active users across 77 countries. What does it actually mean operationally to manage a platform at that scale — and how do you govern consistency of outputs when so many models and markets are in play?Flywheel's Commerce Cloud is described as the largest digital transaction data set in the world. Now fused into Omni, that commerce signal is live inside a broader marketing intelligence platform. For a CPG brand running retail media across Amazon, Walmart, and a dozen other RMNs, how does that change what's possible from a targeting and measurement standpoint?Omni includes what you're calling "Return on Consumer" — tracking consumer progression through Opportunity, Awareness, Interest, Purchase, and Loyalty — rather than just campaign metrics. That's a fundamental reframe. How ready are CPG brand teams to actually buy into that measurement model, and what's holding back adoption?There's a real tension in the industry right now between AI as efficiency play and AI as growth driver. Omnicom's own data points to 25-55% faster production times. But CPG CMOs are being asked to prove incrementality, not just efficiency. How does Omni help brands make that leap from "we're saving money" to "we're growing share"?GEO — Generative Engine Optimization — is becoming a major conversation as AI-driven search displaces traditional keyword rankings. Omni appears to have a point of view here through AI Optix on the PR side. How is the broader Omni platform thinking about brand visibility in an era where the algorithm deciding what consumers see isn't Google anymore?You are sitting at the intersection of the largest data asset in advertising, the largest commerce platform, and a next-gen agentic interface. If you had to name the one capability that CPG brands are most dramatically under-utilizing today — what would it be, and why?Christine, you came from Flywheel, which has deep roots in CPG. What's your message to the brand leaders, the commerce managers, and the retail media practitioners in our audience about what Omni means for them specifically — not for the holding company, but for them, in their day-to-day work?CPG Guys Website: http://CPGguys.comFMCG Guys Website: http://FMCGguys.comSheCOMMERCE Website: https://shecommercepodcast.com/Rhea Raj's Website: http://rhearaj.comLara Raj in Katseye: https://www.katseye.world/DISCLAIMER: The content in this podcast episode is provided for general informational purposes only.

Welcome back to another episode where we're diving deep into the next big shift in Amazon advertising: Sponsored Prompts. You've probably seen those little blue AI questions popping up right under your product images, and guess what? Amazon is officially letting us track them with the new Prompt Report inside Campaign Manager. Today, I'm hanging out with Tyler from Pilot House to break down exactly what this means for your brand. We talk about how Amazon's AI shopping assistant is taking over customer sessions and how your ad budget might be bleeding into these prompts without you even knowing it. Tyler drops some amazing strategies on how to find the new report, pause the prompts that aren't working, and a killer hack using ChatGPT or Gemini to see exactly how AI reads your product images. You definitely want to get ahead of this curve before these new placements start eating up your budget. We'll see you in The PPC Den!

Google I/O showed a company with enormous AI advantages and a surprisingly confusing product map. NLW breaks down Omni, Spark, Antigravity 2.0, Gemini 3.5 Flash, and the deeper strategic question underneath it all: whether Google is really trying to beat Claude Code and Codex at their own game, or whether its real bet is on consumer distribution, multimodal world models, TPUs, and embedding AI across everything people already use.Apply for our Growth Engineering role: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://jobs.aidailybrief.ai/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Enterprise Claw Cohort 3 Registration: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://enterpriseclaw.ai/⁠⁠⁠⁠Brought to you by:KPMG – Agentic AI is powering a potential $3 trillion productivity shift, and KPMG's new paper, Agentic AI Untangled, gives leaders a clear framework to decide whether to build, buy, or borrow—download it at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.kpmg.us/Navigate⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Granola - The AI notepad for people in back-to-back meetings. 100% off your first 3 months with code AIDAILY at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://granola.ai/aidaily⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Scrunch - The AI customer experience platform - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://scrunch.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mercury - Modern banking for business and now personal accounts.
