SSF Stöldskyddsföreningen har precis släppt sin senaste statistikrapport. I ett gemensamt projekt med MSB har Stöldskyddsföreningen tagit tempen på cybersäkerheten i svenska företag med upp till 49 anställda. Fyra av tio företag ansåg sig vara sårbara för digitala och it-relaterade brott. Hälften av företagen sade samtidigt att de var dåligt förberedda för att möta attacker mot it-system. I veckans poddavsnitt plockar Peter och Nikka ut godbitarna ur rapporten tillsammans med Ulrika Hallesius, kriminolog på Stöldskyddsföreningen. De upptäcker bland annat att enbart hälften av företagen har aktiverat tvåfaktorsautentisering, det vill säga en av de enskilt viktigaste säkerhetsåtgärderna som dessutom är helt kostnadsfri. Peter och Nikka pratar också om varför utfallet av Malmö kommuns havererade nätfisketest var väntat och om varför Gmails nya funktion för totalsträckskryptering är sämre än Protons dito (men ändå bättre än ingenting alls).

I fjol utsåg Elektronikbranschen den så kallade AI-datorn till Årets pryl. Elektronikbranschen skrev att ”AI-datorn med sin nya teknik förenklar vardagen genom att göra avancerad funktionalitet tillgänglig och lättanvänd för alla”. Det faktiska tillämpningsområdet för AI-datorer har än så länge varit något begränsat, men det finns en situation då de AI-processorutrustade datorerna briljerar: möjligheten att dra nytta av AI utan att skicka data till molntjänster. I förra veckans poddavsnitt pratade Peter och Nikka om skillnaden mellan den molnbaserade och den lokala versionen av AI-modellen Deepseek. I veckans poddavsnitt följer de upp med en genomgång av den stora fördelen med att köra AI-modeller lokalt. Då minimeras risken för att den behandlade datan läcker. Nikka lyfter också två nya exempel på relaterade situationer då lokala AI-lösningar stärker säkerheten. Windows-versionen av Microsoft Edge har precis fått en ny funktion som med hjälp av lokal AI varnar för scareware, till exempel annonser som påstår att datorn har blivit infekterad. Google håller också på att rulla ut en ny Android-app vid namn Android System Safety Core. Den appen använder lokal AI för att blockera spam-meddelanden och hindra barn från att skicka nakenbilder på sig själva. De nya AI-funktionerna i Microsoft Edge och Android kräver inte processorer med dedikerade AI-kärnor. Det gör däremot mer resurskrävande AI-verktyg, såsom Protons skrivassistent. Nikka konstaterar därför att utnämnandet av AI-datorn som Årets pryl 2024 kan ha legat helt rätt i tiden. Molntjänster må vara kraftfullare än kontorsdatorer, men ingenting skyddar datan lika väl som när den behandlas lokalt på lilla, trygga datorn.

They discuss various topics including competition in the music industry, collaboration, the influence of Detroit on music, the process of creating the album 'Love at First Sight,' the evolution of CoffeeBlack's sound, the importance of visuals in music, and the impact of travel on creativity. They speak on their creative process, collaborations, and personal growth. They also talk about the importance of surrounding oneself with a supportive community of artists. They touch on the balance between personal life and creativity and the need for time management and breaks. The conversation concludes with a discussion about the evolution of their music-making process and the importance of staying true to oneself.Sound Bites"I come from a competitive background, but when it comes to music, it's a friendly competition.""Collaboration usually starts with friendship. If we get along, the music gets made.""I feel like I was definitely born in this [Detroit music scene]. You can feel it in the air when you're out here.""I put out this song called Protons with my homie Osiris. He puts out music under Vanity and that's that more like kind of ambient house kind of track.""Sometimes I'll have an idea and I or sometimes I'll have a complete beat already and I'm like, don't fuck with this one."FOLLOW OUR GUEST:https://www.instagram.com/_coffeeblack__/https://www.youtube.com/@UCB2Aoq9wzi1tBEIPxMJS8DQ LISTEN TO THESHOW*iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/theprocrastinationradioshow/id1571340501Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/41Tg2U9ozbeKciUhuwLGfk?si=9e7b6c6a2231417eJOIN OUR COMMUNITY OF CREATIVES:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/procrastinationradio/X/Twitter: https://x.com/proradioworldTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@procrastinationradioWHO ARE WE?ProcrastinationRadio* is a network with the purpose of cultivating creative conversation and expanding artistic discovery in every-way possible.

NASAs plan to fire three missiles at the sun and moon during the April 8 eclipse is not merely in synch with Egyptian mythology, considering they officially named the program Apep after the serpent ouroboros, but is itself an ancient ritual. Apep-Apophis is the personification of a solar eclipse and to maintain order during this chaotic moment, rituals against the serpent were carried out in support of the sun god. To protect RA and his boat-barge-chariot, common people and priests  tried to untangle the sun from the binding of Apep, or Apophis, a story similar to Osiris and his chest being grabbed by a tamarisk tree. In one story a spear or projectile pierces the snake and saved the sun. It won't be lost on some the relationship that a bound barge shares with recent ship incidents, including two that struck bridge pillars, which themselves can certainly be related to supports for the sky too. When the pillars collapse the night falls, and when Francis Scott Key falls so too does the Star Spangled Banner. Right before the boat incidents, on March 25, the Worm Moon was also in the sky. Alternatively called Crow Moon, a portent of bad luck, the "worm" has always symbolized serpents and dragons. And 2024 is the year of the dragon. Meanwhile, CERN has been under test with experiments slated for April 8 and 10, among other dates. CERNs spokesperson-god is shiva, the necessary evil or destroyer, another name for Apep-Apophis and Saturn. Strangely, NASA  just announced a snake robot they plan to send on a mission to one of Saturn's moons. As millions watch the eclipse, the Devil Comet will also be seen streaking across the sky. It is not only the beginning of April, the burning season, but a time of omens and portents, the fall of flags, countries, kings, and civilizations. When factoring in tv shows like "3 Body Problem," the synchronicity gets even stranger.-FREE ARCHIVE & RSS: https://www.spreaker.com/show/the-secret-teachingsTwitter: https://twitter.com/TST___RadioFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesecretteachingsWEBSITE (BOOKS, RESUBSCRIBE for early show access): http://thesecretteachings.infoPaypal: rdgable@yahoo.comCashApp: $rdgableBuy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/tstradioSUBSCRIBE TO NETWORK: http://aftermath.mediaEMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.com

In this episode I'm digging deeper into the purported health effects of deuterium, a stable isotope of hydrogen. Deuterium has twice the mass of hydrogen, and it exists naturally in water.  A hydrogen atom in H2O is replaced by deuterium in about 150 out of 1 million atoms. This trace compound interacts chemically as hydrogen, but because of its weight it has different dynamics. Why is this an issue? Excess deuterium has been found to impact cell division.. When it gets incorporated into proteins in the body it can mess with their functionality. Yet at such low concentrations it seems like it wouldn't be a significant issue. Let's get to the bottom of this. Dr. Laszlo Boros is a retired Professor of Pediatrics at the UCLA School of Medicine, the Co-Director of the Stable Isotope Research Laboratory at the Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovations and Investigator at the Clinical and Translational Research Institute at the Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. He is the inventor of the Human Deutenome Project in order to map the distribution of deuterium in the human body with structural and functional interpretations as it relates to disease and health. Born and educated in Hungary, his medical background includes a focus on pancreatic cancer and stable isotope technologies to study diabetes and cancer cell growth in vitro. He researches the influence of metabolic processes and disorders on aggressive cancers and vitamin transport. He is an internationally recognized expert of metabolic water biochemistry as well as deuterium mediated kinetic isotopic effects in health and disease. His most recent studies target 'deupletion' and 'deuposition' related mechanisms as the result of intra-cellular hydrophobic lipid membrane nanoconfinements via the Quantum Destabilization of Protons in metabolic water. https://www.laszlogboros.com/_files/ugd/aeaa87_81191bea9f9643a7b40ed99f0052394d.pdf Support The Rational View at https://patron.podbean.com/TheRationalView This was an interesting discussion.

Saad Dara is the CEO and Founder of Mangrove Lithium. Mangrove Lithium develops an innovative approach to Lithium Refining which is using electrochemical processes to reach battery grade from diverse raw sources.  The decarbonization of our World oftentimes resembles a set of Russian Dolls. First, we needed electric cars, so the manufacturers started shifting their internal combustion lines to EV ones. Then, batteries were on the critical path, so the World frantically built Gigafactories. As a result, Lithium became the bottleneck, and over the next decade, we'll try to catch up. But in doing so, we may well bump into the next problem: missing chemicals. Don't roll your eyes too fast: I do know that Soda Ash, for instance, is pretty commonplace and shouldn't be an issue. Except if you are in the middle of the high Andes, and especially on the Argentinan side, where dozens of junior lithium companies are currently cutting their teeth.  If you don't have enough Soda Ash, you can't refine your Lithium Chloride to Carbonate, and why is that a problem, well, that means you have to truck large volumes of concentrated brines away, and reach a place where chemicals are available. Not a big deal? Well, except if you compound in the absence of paved roads around most of the Salars that will enter into production in the next years, or simply the fact that bringing a truck up to an altitude of over 4'000 meters is not that easy.  While I was up in Olaroz, Cachi, and Jama, I crossed two different trucks in two different places that had rolled over onto the side of the road. So again, I'd say, not a piece of cake. But if evaporation ponds are so efficient in the high Andes, it's, of course, thanks to widely available solar energy. Something energy companies start to leverage by installing solar farms. So what if it were possible to use that electrical energy right where it's produced, to refine the concentrated brines that evaporation ponds output into battery-grade carbonate or hydroxide?  Well, some companies have started to explore that electrochemical road, and you would have guessed, that's where Mangrove Lithium is focusing.  Their technology was born as a water treatment and desalination play, yet the ideal product-market fit seems to rather be in the lithium industry - once again, a proof of the high porosity between those two worlds.  Let me avoid spoiling you all of my conversation with Saad Dara, but what I can already tell you is that we had good fun recording, I hope you'll enjoy it as well, if you do, please remember to take that episode and share it with a friend, a colleague, your boss or your team, wherever you're listening or watching that, make sure to like and subscribe, and I'll meet you on the other side! ➡️ Check out the entire article on how Mangrove Lithium is the Jewel in Bill Gates' crown on the (don't) Waste Water website!

Welcome to season 5 of the Queen of the Sciences podcast! Vocation is a topic near and dear to me and Dad, both as a central theological focus of the Lutheran Reformation and also because we just plain take a lot of pleasure in our work. But David Graeber's astonishing book Bullshit Jobs came as a serious wake-up call to us both. In this episode, we review Graeber's case for the precipitous shift from meaningful to meaningless and even actively harmful paid work in the world today, and what it means for an ongoing commitment to the doctrine of vocation. Notes: 1. Graeber, Bullshit Jobs 2. The short story "Gold" in my collection Protons and Fleurons is a skewed look at vocation, but not as skewed as Graeber's. 3. The classic study of Luther on vocation is Gustav Wingren's appropriately titled Luther on Vocation 4.
