Ben and Brent continue to dissect the Maple Leafs' loss last night and where it leaves this team, or maybe more importantly their fanbase, heading back to Ottawa for Game 6. The hosts welcome on Sportsnet's own Nick Kypreos for a Leafs therapy session on what he saw from this team last night and how concerned we should be about their lack of scoring. The Stanley Cup champ talks about what it takes to go on a long run and how the Buds can get over the hump. Next, the morning duo check in with ESPN's Greg Wyshynski (31:20) for his outside perspective on what is going on with the Leafs and if there should be any doubt that they can close out this series. The trio discuss what Craig Berube has brought to the club, how much pressure is on captain Auston Matthews, and why there should be optimism in Leaf-land.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Hugo Bowne-Anderson, Independent Data & AI Scientist, joins us to tackle why most AI applications fail to make it past the demo stage. We'll explore his concept of Evaluation-Driven Development (EDD) and how treating evaluation as a continuous process—not just a final step—can help teams escape "Proof-of-Concept Purgatory." How can we build AI applications that remain reliable and adaptable over time? What shifts are happening as boundaries between data, ML, and product development collapse? From practical testing approaches to monitoring strategies, this episode offers essential insights for anyone looking to create AI applications that deliver genuine business value beyond the initial excitement.

In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Jennifer Glindemann, Bereichsleiterin Portfolio und Prozesse bei den Rheinland Versicherungen, über die ersten KI-Anwendungen bei den Rheinland Versicherungen und die Learnings daraus. Jennifer gibt Einblicke in ihre Arbeit, die den gesamten Change-Prozess des mittelständischen Unternehmens das ca. 900 Mitarbeitern umfasst, inklusive Datenschutz und Informationssicherheit – ein Bereich, der natürlich eng mit KI-Implementierung verknüpft ist. Wir beleuchten den anfänglichen KI-Hype und die damit verbundene Unsicherheit, die zu einer anfänglichen Einschränkung der geschäftlichen Nutzung von Tools wie ChatGPT führte. Wir diskutieren die Strategien, die Rheinland entwickelt hat, um die Risiken zu managen und gleichzeitig den Mitarbeitern den verantwortungsvollen Umgang mit KI zu ermöglichen. Dabei spielte auch die Teilnahme an der Forschungsinitiative "Xplore GenAI" eine wichtige Rolle. Ein Highlight ist die Vorstellung von "Rheinland GPT", einem internen KI-Tool, das auf einer geschlossenen Wissensdatenbank basiert und somit den Datenschutz gewährleistet. Wir besprechen die ersten Use Cases, die sich auf Informationsverdichtung und die Verbesserung interner Prozesse konzentrieren, darunter die Bildgenerierung – überraschenderweise ein sehr beliebter Anwendungsfall bei den Mitarbeitern! Ein weiterer wichtiger Punkt ist die Herausforderung, KI in die Kernprozesse zu integrieren. Jennifer beschreibt die Schwierigkeiten, die bei der Verknüpfung der KI mit bestehenden Systemen entstehen, und die Notwendigkeit, interne Ressourcen und Expertenwissen optimal einzusetzen. Wir diskutieren die Grenzen der schnellen KI-Implementierung und die Realitäten von Ressourceneinschränkungen, insbesondere in einem mittelständischen Unternehmen. Zuletzt sprechen wir über die Herausforderungen des AI Act und die Notwendigkeit, verantwortungsvolle KI-Lösungen zu entwickeln, die sowohl effizient als auch datenschutzkonform sind. Jennifer teilt ihre Learnings aus den letzten zwei Jahren, wobei die Bedeutung einer offenen Unternehmenskultur und die Notwendigkeit einer starken Führungsrolle hervorgehoben werden. Sie schildert die Zukunft der KI-Strategie bei Rheinland Versicherungen mit dem Fokus auf die Integration in Kernprozesse und die Zusammenarbeit mit den Fachbereichen.

Today we are talking about The Drupal Developer Survey, Last year's results, and How it helps Drupal with guest Mike Richardson. We'll also cover HTMX as our module of the week. For show notes visit: https://www.talkingDrupal.com/493 Topics What is the Drupal Developer Survey How often does it come out How did it come to be What type of information does it collect Do you look at other surveys What were some of the most interesting stats last year Core contributors How do you expect last year to compare to this year Do you think the outlook will be more positive with Drupal CMS Drop off in Drupal 7 Home users DDEV usage AI questions Security questions Resources Drupal Developer Survey 2024 Results 2025 Drupal Developer Survey HTMX Sucks Guests Mike Richardson - Ironstar Dev Survey richo_au Hosts Nic Laflin - nLighteneddevelopment.com nicxvan John Picozzi - epam.com johnpicozzi Andrew Berry - lullabot.com deviantintegral MOTW Correspondent Martin Anderson-Clutz - mandclu.com mandclu Brief description: Have you ever wanted to replace Drupal's AJAX capabilities with a lightweight library that has no additional dependencies? There's a module for that. Module name/project name: HTMX Brief history How old: created in May 2023 by wouters_f though recent releases are by fathershawn of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Versions available: 1.3.5 and 1.4.0, both of which support Drupal 10.3 and 11 Maintainership Actively maintained, latest release less than a month ago Security coverage Test coverage Documentation included in the repo as well as online Number of open issues: 3 open issues, 1 of which is a bug Usage stats: 92 sites Module features and usage To use HTMX, you need to attach the library to the render array of one or more elements where you want to use it, and then add data attributes to your render array that indicate how you want HTMX to react to user behaviour HTMX can help make your Drupal sites more interactive by dynamically loading or reloading parts of a page, giving it a more “application-like” user experience There is a planning issue to discuss gradually replace Drupal's current AJAX system with HTMX, and a related Proof Of Concept showing how that could work with an existing Drupal admin form A number of elements in the current AJAX system also rely on jQuery, so adopting HTMX would also help to phase out jQuery in core. HTMX is also significantly more lightweight than JS frameworks like React HTMX is really a developer-oriented project, which is why I thought it would be appropriate for this week's episode

He opted against college and used the money to fund his feature that he wrote and directed, which was eventually picked up for US theatrical distribution and by HBO Europe. In 2007, to support other young filmmakers, Jesse founded NFFTY (National Film Festival for Talented Youth), which has grown into the largest and most prestigious youth film festival in the world. Jesse put his filmmaking career on hold for several years to support other young directors and build a premier showcase for aspiring directors. Variety named Jesse one of 25 talents who transformed youth entertainment and was named one of City Arts Magazine's Top 50 Culture Makers. His feature was shortlisted for the 2004 Independent Spirit Awards 'Someone to Watch' Award and was one of 20 features invited to the 2004 IFP New York Film Market. Jesse's recently been named a Global Shaper, an initiative of the World Economic Forum, built around young entrepreneurs and do-gooders. Jesse returned to filmmaking in the commercial world, now bringing years of experience crafting beautiful stories for brands. His commercial work has been seen on TV around the world, working with clients such as Volvo, Microsoft, Disney and more. His 2018 short film, Wind in the Night was one of seven films selected for the 2019 Prix SNCF du Polar in France and picked up for distribution in France, Asia, UK and USA. The film was a proof of concept for his next feature, Borrego (available January 14, 2022).

Darryl shares his experience with his first real estate deal, which was a single-family home he wholesaled in North Carolina. He found the deal on Craigslist and locked it up at a price that would have made him $5,000, but ended up renegotiating and making only $500. Despite the small profit, this deal proved to be a proof of concept for Darryl. He quit his job in cable and got into real estate to create a better life for himself. He eventually ventured into seller financing deals and built a portfolio of properties. Darryl emphasizes the importance of nurturing relationships with potential future business and the value of follow-ups in wholesaling. He also discusses the average assignment fees in his market and the marketing strategies he uses to find deals.  KEY TALKING POINTS OF THE EPISODE0:00 - Darryl's First Wholesale Deal1:53 - What He Was Doing Before Real Estate2:33 - What Led Darryl to Trying Real Estate3:49 - What He Did After Getting His First Deal4:30 - His Seller Financing Deal7:14 - His Primary Method of Investing Now7:56 - A Word of Advice for New Wholesalers9:29 - Tips on Setting A Schedule for Yourself11:00 - The Wholesale Deals Darryl Does12:13 - How Much Marketing to Get A Deal?14:08 - Darryl's Business Structure14:38 - How to Find Darryl & Closing Thoughts LINKSInstagram: Darrylhttps://www.instagram.com/spanknnewrealestate Instagram: David Leckohttps://www.instagram.com/dlecko Website: DealMachinehttps://www.dealmachine.com/pod Instagram: Ryan Haywoodhttps://www.instagram.com/heritage_home_investments Website: Heritage Home Investmentshttps://www.heritagehomeinvestments.com/

De-risking Drug Development is a five-part podcast series that explores the business-critical decisions that take place at each stage of the drug development process. We know that novel therapies often don't meet their revenue expectations, but through informed decision-making, you can minimize risk and maximize the probability of commercial success. This is episode three, where we discuss how to accelerate development and opportunities to differentiate your product through innovative and adaptive trial design. We focus on the importance of creating evidence packages that meet both regulatory and payer requirements, and the critical role of early value story development alongside target product profile (TPP) planning.
