In this episode I was pleased to be joined by Ffion Tynan who has just turned professional after gaining Ladies European Tour Category 19 status as well as a full status on LET Access Series for 2026. Ffion is from Llanharry in Wales and would pick up the game by chance at 8 years old during a holiday in Orlando where she would get spotted and asked to play more after. From age 11 Ffion has represented Wales in all forms something she is extremely proud of and would eventually go to the States at both University of Arkansas & University of Missouri. Ffion has had some great junior success with taking part in 2x Vagliano Trophy's as well as being the English U14 Champion, IMG World Challenge Champion, Scottish U18 Champion, Welsh Ladies Strokeplay Champion, Sir Henry Cooper Invitional Champion, Welsh Girls' Champion, Welsh Amateur Champion as well as this year's European Club Trophy Individual Champion in Slovakia.  At Q School on LET Ffion would navigate through to final stage where after R1 she would be near the top of the leaderboard before admittedly struggling but all learning experience as she gains status for next year!  Thanks Ffion, a bubbly, fun person with immense talent!     Download via Podbean, Apple & Spotify

Ho Ho Ho, Alex here! (a real human writing these words, this needs to be said in 2025) Merry Christmas (to those who celebrate) and welcome to the very special yearly ThursdAI recap! This was an intense year in the world of AI, and after 51 weekly episodes (this is episode 52!) we have the ultimate record of all the major and most important AI releases of this year! So instead of bringing you a weekly update (it's been a slow week so far, most AI labs are taking a well deserved break, the Cchinese AI labs haven't yet surprised anyone), I'm dropping a comprehensive yearly AI review! Quarter by quarter, month by month, both in written form and as a pod/video! Why do this? Who even needs this? Isn't most of it obsolete? I have asked myself this exact question while prepping for the show (it was quite a lot of prep, even with Opus's help). I eventually landed on, hey, if nothing else, this will serve as a record of the insane week of AI progress we all witnessed. Can you imagine that the term Vibe Coding is less than 1 year old? That Claude Code was released at the start of THIS year? We get hedonicly adapt to new AI goodies so quick, and I figured this will serve as a point in time check, we can get back to and feel the acceleration! With that, let's dive in - P.S. the content below is mostly authored by my co-author for this, Opus 4.5 high, which at the end of 2025 I find the best creative writer with the best long context coherence that can imitate my voice and tone (hey, I'm also on a break!

Buyer plans to convert station into residence The Beacon City Council is expected to vote on Monday (Dec. 15) to authorize the sale of the former Beacon Engine Co. fire station on East Main Street, the second of two surplus stations to be sold by the city. The contract should be signed in the next week, said City Attorney Nick Ward-Willis. As was the case with the sale in June of the former Mase Hook & Ladder station at 425 Main St., city officials said they would not reveal the buyer or sale price until the contract is finalized. "Similar to a private deal, you don't negotiate in public, especially on the financial terms," Ward-Willis told the council in May. On Monday (Dec. 8), Ward-Willis said the buyer lives out of state in a building on the National Register of Historic Places. What attracted them to the 1889 Beacon Engine station at 57 East Main St., which is also on the National Register, "is the ability to restore this and turn it into a new use," he said. The buyer intends to convert the 6,052-square-foot structure into a single-family home. "They're excited to move to the city," Ward-Willis said. "They have connections to the city and are ready to try to close pretty quickly on this." A single-family home is permitted in the R1 zoning district, so Planning Board approval will not be required for the conversion. However, the building is in Beacon's protected historic district, so substantial exterior changes would require a "certificate of appropriateness" from the board. In May, a real-estate agency hired by the city listed Mase for $1.95 million and the Beacon Engine firehouse for $1.75 million. The Beacon Engine listing is still active at $1.595 million. Both properties, former headquarters for volunteer companies that served the city for more than a century, became surplus after a $14.7 million centralized fire station opened near City Hall in 2024. The ownership of the Beacon Engine station was disputed by a group of retired volunteer firefighters who served there. The volunteers continued to use the building after the station closed in 2021 for social gatherings and to coordinate charitable campaigns. They fought eviction, arguing that - as had long been believed - the volunteer company owned the original structure, while the city owned the engine bay added in 1924. City officials conducted a title search in 2023 that they said revealed municipal ownership of the entire site, and a state judge in July dismissed four requests from the retired volunteers, declaring the City of Beacon as the sole owner. The council's vote on Monday will acknowledge that an ownership transfer would not negatively impact the environment and authorize City Administrator Chris White to move forward with the sale. Mase Hook & Ladder The former Mase station was purchased by Michael Bensimon, a Westchester County resident who owns commercial buildings at 475 Main and 508 Main. It is being converted to have a ground-level retail space occupied by Stanza Books, which is now at 508 Main St., and four apartments on the upper two floors. Stanza has asked the Planning Board for permission to construct a partially enclosed patio as a barrier between the store and the parking lot. On nice days, a rear door will be open, and the patio will protect children who come outside, co-owner Mark Harris told the board on Tuesday (Dec. 9). A public hearing on Stanza's application will be held in January. The Planning Board issued a certificate of appropriateness to the developer in October for minor exterior modifications, including the installation of ornamental sconces along the facade. A residential entrance will be added to the eastern side of the structure, and insulated glass doors will provide access to two of the apartments. Bensimon also plans to replace some windows and repair and/or repaint deteriorated areas of the facade, trim and door panels with matching materials.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to award-winning journalist Mandy Wiener about former Bosasa COO Angelo Agrizzi’s guilty plea to corruption and money laundering linked to over R1.8 billion in tenders and kickbacks , a plea deal that lets him avoid jail in exchange for cooperation with the NPA. Wiener says the case reflects a strategic shift in state corruption probes but raises a key question: Should the corrupt walk free to catch the powerful? Meanwhile, Jacob Zuma has suspended his deputy Dr John Hlophe and reversed Des van Rooyen’s appointment in a bid to reassert control within the uMkhonto weSizwe Party. Police are investigating the alleged attempted murder of businessman Brown Mogotsi in Vosloorus, and Deputy Police Ministers Polly Boshielo and Cassel Mathale have told Parliament they were not consulted on the disbandment of the Political Killings Task Team, exposing worrying cracks in communication and accountability at the top of the police ministry. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

With the US racing to develop AGI and superintelligence ahead of China, you might expect the two countries to be negotiating how they'll deploy AI, including in the military, without coming to blows. But according to Helen Toner, director of the Center for Security and Emerging Technology in DC, “the US and Chinese governments are barely talking at all.”Links to learn more, video, and full transcript: https://80k.info/ht25In her role as a founder, and now leader, of DC's top think tank focused on the geopolitical and military implications of AI, Helen has been closely tracking the US's AI diplomacy since 2019.“Over the last couple of years there have been some direct [US–China] talks on some small number of issues, but they've also often been completely suspended.” China knows the US wants to talk more, so “that becomes a bargaining chip for China to say, ‘We don't want to talk to you. We're not going to do these military-to-military talks about extremely sensitive, important issues, because we're mad.'”Helen isn't sure the groundwork exists for productive dialogue in any case. “At the government level, [there's] very little agreement” on what AGI is, whether it's possible soon, whether it poses major risks. Without shared understanding of the problem, negotiating solutions is very difficult.Another issue is that so far the Chinese Communist Party doesn't seem especially “AGI-pilled.” While a few Chinese companies like DeepSeek are betting on scaling, she sees little evidence Chinese leadership shares Silicon Valley's conviction that AGI will arrive any minute now, and export controls have made it very difficult for them to access compute to match US competitors.When DeepSeek released R1 just three months after OpenAI's o1, observers declared the US–China gap on AI had all but disappeared. But Helen notes OpenAI has since scaled to o3 and o4, with nothing to match on the Chinese side. “We're now at something like a nine-month gap, and that might be longer.”To find a properly AGI-pilled autocracy, we might need to look at nominal US allies. The US has approved massive data centres in the UAE and Saudi Arabia with “hundreds of thousands of next-generation Nvidia chips” — delivering colossal levels of computing power.When OpenAI announced this deal with the UAE, they celebrated that it was “rooted in democratic values,” and would advance “democratic AI rails” and provide “a clear alternative to authoritarian versions of AI.”But the UAE scores 18 out of 100 on Freedom House's democracy index. “This is really not a country that respects rule of law,” Helen observes. Political parties are banned, elections are fake, dissidents are persecuted.If AI access really determines future national power, handing world-class supercomputers to Gulf autocracies seems pretty questionable. The justification is typically that “if we don't sell it, China will” — a transparently false claim, given severe Chinese production constraints. It also raises eyebrows that Gulf countries conduct joint military exercises with China and their rulers have “very tight personal and commercial relationships with Chinese political leaders and business leaders.”In today's episode, host Rob Wiblin and Helen discuss all that and more.This episode was recorded on September 25, 2025.CSET is hiring a frontier AI research fellow! https://80k.info/cset-roleCheck out its careers page for current roles: https://cset.georgetown.edu/careers/Chapters:Cold open (00:00:00)Who's Helen Toner?

Contributor: Travis Barlock, MD Educational Pearls: Quick Statistics on Electrical Burns: Electrical burns compose roughly 2 to 9% of all burns that come into emergency departments. The majority of patients who receive electrical burns are male, typically aged 20's to 30's, accounting for 80 to 90% of all electrical burn victims. The majority of burns are linked to occupational exposure. The upper extremities are more commonly impacted by electrical burns, accounting for 70 to 90% of entry points into the body during an exposure. What are some of the key considerations in electrical burns? Unlike chemical or fire/heat related burns, electrical burns have the potential to cause significant internal damage that may not be physically appreciated externally. This damage can include, but is not limited to: Cardiac dysthymias (PVCs, SVT, AV block, to more serious ventricular dysrhythmias such as ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia). Deep tissue injury resulting in rhabdomyolysis from the initial surge of electricity Rare cases of compartment syndrome What are the treatment considerations for patients who suffer electrical burns? Remembering that cutaneous findings associated with burns may underestimate the severity of the injury, with deeper structures being more likely to be involved as the voltage of the burn injury is directly correlated to severity. Manage the patient's airway, breathing, and circulation as always, and conduct further workup into potential cardiac involvement with EKGs, as well as analysis of the extremities where entry occurred for muscle breakdown and compartment syndrome. Clinical Pearl on Voltage and Current: Voltage can be thought of being equivalent to pressure in a fluid/liquid system. Higher voltages are equivalent to higher pressures, but the ultimate damage delivered to the system is from the rate of delivery/speed of the electrical energy surging (current) through the body. Current is dependent on the tissue it is travelling through, with different tissues having differing electrical resistances. Tissues like the stratum corneum of the skin and the human bone confer the most resistance (thus lower current) whereas skeletal muscle confers lower electrical resistance (thus higher current) due to water and electrolyte content, which is why injuries like rhabdomyolysis are possible and increase with increasing voltage.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1180: Fresh off a global adventure, Paul and Kyle return with stories from Kazakhstan, a look at why destination fees are climbing faster than car prices, and how Rivian and GM are tightening up their EV operations as the market cools.Destination fees — the unavoidable “shipping” charges tacked onto every new vehicle — are climbing faster than sticker prices. Once a minor line item, these fees have ballooned across brands, marking the steepest industrywide increase in at least a decade as automakers quietly offset rising costs and tariffs.Average destination fees jumped 8.5% for 2025 models, the biggest one-year spike in 10 years, according to Edmunds.Fees have risen 27% since 2021, now averaging $1,549, up from $1,220 just four years ago.Some models saw even sharper hikes — Porsche up 48%, Ford up 39%, Stellantis up 35%.Analysts point to inflation, heavier vehicles, and new tariffs as key cost drivers.“It's another place where they can increase the price without increasing the price,” said Sam Fiorani of AutoForecast Solutions.As the EV market cools and cost pressures rise, both Rivian and GM are trimming teams to stay efficient. Rivian's cutting hundreds after the loss of key EV tax credits, while GM is reducing salaried positions tied to design and development as part of a broader restructuring.Rivian is laying off 4.5% of its workforce — about 600 employees — as it consolidates operations in sales, service, and marketing.CEO RJ Scaringe said the move reflects a “changing operating backdrop” as demand softens following the expiration of the $7,500 EV credit.Rivian will continue investing in its next-gen R2 platform to reach a broader market beyond its luxury R1 lineup.GM confirmed more than 200 white-collar job cuts in Detroit, mostly in its design engineering and CAD teams.The automaker is also managing $1.6 billion in EV-related write-downs and tariff costs as it shifts strategy to protect margins amid a slower adoption curve.0:00 Intro with Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier1:25 More Than Cars just got back from Kazakhstan7:42 Destination Fees Skyrocket On 2025 Models10:33 Rivian Lays Off 600, GM Cuts 200Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Episode overview: Prince Nwadeyi spent years providing market research that unlocked South Africa's R600 billion (~USD 34.4 billion) informal economy for blue-chip clients. The likes of Swiss Re, Liberty, NASPERS all wanted the insights. Few wanted the execution risk. In conversation with Andile Masuku, Nwadeyi explains why his holding company SAG Ventures stopped selling insights and started building businesses. From Mustard Finance Group (formerly Setana Capital) providing working capital to township spaza shops (micro convenience stores), to Purchase Pal embedding funeral cover into everyday groceries, Nwadeyi's ventures share a common thread: aligning incentives across entire value chains whilst playing a longer game than quarterly-focused corporates can stomach. His journey from UCT postgrad researcher to operator deploying millions in credit with a claimed 99.9% repayment rate offers a masterclass in strategic patience and the power of granular consumer understanding. Key insights: - On why insights alone don't create impact: "We realised that some of the executives were not willing to take the risk, not for any risk of their own, but really just how the incentive structure set up within corporate." Nwadeyi discovered that knowing differently doesn't translate to acting differently when bonuses hang in the balance. The solution? Stop asking permission and build the innovation yourself. - On aligning incentives to unlock impossible markets: Working capital finance to informal retailers seemed impossible until Nwadeyi mapped the ecosystem. Wholesalers wanted more sales but couldn't offer credit. They did have transaction data. "Can we build a technology solution that interprets that data at scale to enable unique insight that traditional finance institutions don't have access to?" The result: finance the stock purchase to the wholesaler, the SME repays over 14 days, everyone wins. One of their spaza shop clients recently scaled from one store to three and bought her first house for R1 million (~USD 57,400) cash. - On thinking in decades whilst executing in months: "You don't have to think in days. You have to think in decades." Purchase Pal (what Nwadeyi claims to be "the world's first FMCG-embedded funeral insurance") represents one piece of a five-year strategy spanning multiple financial services verticals. The long game enables patient execution whilst maintaining corporate relevance. "What's my exit point? What's my entry point? Am I wanting to build this alongside?" - On why research beats assumptions every time: A tearful interview during his MPhil research - a woman describing the humiliation of borrowing money to bury her mother whilst neighbours gossiped about her poverty - sparked the Purchase Pal concept. "What if we could unlock quote unquote, what I call, no cost insurance?" Years of ethnographic research revealed the margin structure in FMCG goods, the cost burden of traditional insurance intermediation, and the customer stickiness problem facing consumer goods manufacturers. Research made the impossible obvious. Notable moment: The pivot from consultant to operator: Walking through a Cape Flats township, Nwadeyi's co-founder encountered a spaza shop owner struggling for financing. "All I ever wanted to do is to feed myself, feed my family or feed my business." That human story, repeated across thousands of township retailers, shifted SAG from insight provider to solution builder. Traditional finance wouldn't touch these operators. Nwadeyi's team reportedly deployed over R100 million (~USD 5.7 million) and achieved 99.9% repayment rates. Image credit: SAG Ventures

The panel dives into the launch of the Vision Pro M5, iPad Pro M5, and 14-inch MacBook Pro M5, exploring how Apple's latest chip is showing up everywhere—from spatial computing to creative workflows. Marty admits to pre-ordering the new Vision Pro while having blood drawn, leading to the episode's funniest moment (“They took my blood, I gave Apple my money”). Jeff immediately volunteers to be Marty's “no-good son” to inherit the old headset, sparking laughter about “device reallocation” policies. Discussion turns to the Vision Pro's new dual-knit band and Hover headset accessory, which redistributes weight to the crown of the head. Dave likens it to “flipping up granny sunglasses,” while Ben compares it to wearing “night-vision goggles.” Chuck's wise counsel: “Wait for the M5 Pro—patience beats payment.” MacBook Pro M5 specs are examined in detail—10-core CPU, 10-core GPU, 24-hour battery life (cue the joke: “if you never touch it”), and no Wi-Fi 7 support. Marty shares his “trade-up philosophy” while Jeff laments his $800 trade-in offer: “It lost that much value that fast?” Chuck recommends Apple's refurb store, calling it “the best deal Apple doesn't advertise.” The crew also explores the iPad Pro M5, agreeing that performance gains are meaningful but most users won't need to upgrade. Jill admits her iPad mostly serves as a “sleep-aid game console,” while Eric says Vision Pro has cut into his tablet use entirely. Other highlights:     •    Vision Pro M5's 120 Hz refresh rate and better cooling.     •    No Wi-Fi 6E bump—for $3,500, that drew audible groans.     •    AI readiness of the M5 chip sparks debate on whether Apple even has an “AI strategy.”     •    Apple TV's rebranding from “TV+” to “Apple TV,” which the panel calls “peak confusion.”     •    AirPods Pro 3 flight test: Marty's seal so tight it caused ear “pop-pop-pop” moments, while Dave says noise-canceling on planes “kills all sound, including your will to chat.”   Topics and Links Breaking News  Apple Debuts New iPad Pro With M5 Chip, Faster Charging, and More Apple Announces New 14-Inch MacBook Pro With M5 Chip Apple Updates Vision Pro With M5 Chip, Dual Knit Band, and 120Hz Support Here's Everything Apple Announced Today  In Touch With Vision Pro this week.  visionOS 26.1 Beta 3 Release Notes | Apple Developer Documentation Apple Updates Vision Pro With M5 Chip, Dual Knit Band, and 120Hz Support

Apple Vision Pro rumored to leverage cutting-edge 2nm process with new R2 chiphttps://appleinsider.com/articles/25/09/18/apple-vision-pro-rumored-to-leverage-cutting-edge-2nm-process-with-new-r2-chipApple is reportedly preparing a new R2 co-processor for a future Vision Pro model, built on TSMC's 2nm process. This would be a first for Apple's headset line, positioning Vision Pro as a showcase for Apple's most advanced silicon. The R2 chip is expected to deliver significant improvements in latency, thermal efficiency, and overall performance.Why it mattersPerformance leap: The R2's move to 2nm could allow smoother passthrough, faster sensor fusion, and better hand/eye tracking stability.Battery & heat: Improved performance-per-watt means cooler operation and extended battery life—key factors for headset comfort.Ecosystem signal: Apple investing its most advanced chip process in Vision Pro underscores long-term commitment to spatial computing.Key detailsCurrent baseline: Vision Pro pairs an M2 for apps with an R1 for real-time sensor data. The R1 delivers ~12ms photon-to-photon latency.Next-gen rumor: R2 would supersede R1, likely debuting around 2026, with a 2nm fabrication node.What's new for users & developersFor users: Potentially longer wear sessions with less heat and jitter, moving Vision Pro beyond demo use into all-day practicality.For developers: More compute headroom for richer apps, higher fidelity passthrough, and expanded spatial workflows.For the ecosystem: If Vision Pro becomes the platform where Apple debuts its most advanced silicon, refresh cycles may accelerate.Industry contextApple's silicon play: Historically, Apple has reserved new process nodes for iPhone or Mac chips. Shifting that to Vision Pro signals strategic priority.Timeline watch: Analysts expect R2 to arrive in 2026 hardware, though specifics on product naming (Vision Pro 2 vs. refresh) remain unclear.The R2 chip could unlock comfort and practicality for extended wear, making Vision Pro more than a short-session device.ThePodTalkNetwork@gmail.comThePodTalk.NetYouTube.com/@VisionProFiles
