Kể từ giữa tháng 7/2025 chính phủ Anh tung ra một chương trình 650 triệu bảng, tương đương với 75 triệu đô la để tài trợ trực tiếp cho người mua xe hơi động cơ điện - EV. Tiền hỗ trợ giá mua lên tới £3.750 cho một chiếc xe điện để cả nước Anh đẩy nhanh hơn tiến trình chuyển đổi sang từ xe dùng nhiên liệu hóa thạch sang xe điện. Vì sao chính phủ Anh quyết định dùng ngân sách để tác động vào thị trường xe hơi như vậy? Chính phủ Anh sau nhiều suy tính cuối cùng cũng phải chọn biện pháp mà các nước trong Liên Hiệp Châu Âu - EU đã làm từ lâu : dùng tiền ngân sách để tác động vào thị trường xe hơi, nhằm đẩy số xe điện lên cao hơn, vì ở Anh, con số này đang quá thấp so với Liên Âu. Theo số liệu của Hiệp hội Sản xuất Xe hơi châu Âu (European Automobile Manufacturers' Association-ACEA) vào hai tháng đầu năm 2025, số xe điện dùng pin (battery-electric vehicles) ở EU chiếm tới 15,2% tổng số xe hơi. Con số này tăng mạnh so với cùng kỳ của năm 2024. Nếu tính số xe động cơ hỗn hợp (hybrid-electric) thì con số là 35,2% thị phần xe hơi cá nhân. Còn ở Anh, các số liệu chính thức nói xe EV mới có chừng 1,3 triệu chiếc trên tổng số 35 triệu xe có đăng ký, tức là chỉ có chừng 4%. Con số có tăng, nhưng quá chậm, vì báo cáo của Quốc Hội Anh cho biết năm 2024 số xe EV trên cả nước mới chiếm có 3% thị phần xe hơi và xe hybrid được 8%. Trong khi đó Anh đã cam kết phi carbon (decarbonisation) vào năm 2050, còn gọi là Net Zero. Để đạt mục tiêu đó thì Anh phải có số xe không phát thải chiếm 80% thị trường xe cộ vào năm 2030. Đây là mục tiêu quá tham vọng, chỉ còn chưa đầy 5 năm nữa là phải đạt được. Nhìn lại thì mục tiêu cho năm 2024 là đẩy số xe không phát thải lên 22% thị phần xe hơi đã không đạt được rồi. Lý do vì sao tiến trình giảm xe xăng và xe đốt dầu diesel ở Anh chậm như vậy? Thực ra có nhiều lý do khách quan, ngoài ý muốn của người tiêu dùng, như một số tạp chí về xe hơi phân tích. Đó là giá xe điện, thực chất là giá cục pin, quá cao. Ví dụ dòng xe Tesla bán ở Anh với giá từ 40 nghìn đến 100 nghìn bảng, nhiều hơn từ 1/3 tới gấp hơn 3 lần thu nhập cả năm trước thuế của người lao động bình thường, nên ai mà mua nổi ? Nay, giá xe EV của Trung Quốc nhập vào Anh có rẻ hơn, cũng phải ở mức 20-30 nghìn bảng. Chính sách của nhà nước Anh có sự mâu thuẫn. Từ tháng 4 năm nay, xe điện không còn được miễn thuế đường, và xe mua với giá trên 40 nghìn bảng thì phải đóng thêm thuế “hàng hóa xa hoa” (luxury car fee). Nay thì chính phủ lại trợ giá gần 4.000 bảng cho một đầu xe điện mới, để khuyến khích người ta mua nhiều hơn. Tình trạng là nửa năm qua thì số xe EV đăng ký tăng lên nhiều, đạt gần 150 nghìn chiếc từ đầu năm đến hết tháng 4, tức là trên đà tăng, nhưng người ta phàn nàn là xe điện mất giá rất nhanh. Giá bán xe sau 1 năm sử dụng từ lúc mới chỉ còn giá trị 50% giá ban đầu, và sau 2 năm thì chỉ còn 40% giá trị. Mua EV là chấp nhận chi phí ban đầu cao, giá bán lại (resale) thấp. Ngoài ra thì hiện cả nước Anh mới có 84 điểm sạc pin công cộng, nên cơ sở hạ tầng cần triển khai nhanh và đại trà thì mới đẩy số xe EV lên được. Kế hoạch kích cầu (push demand) cho xe điện ở Anh có gì đặc biệt, so với các nước khác ? Theo thông báo của chính phủ thì từ ngày 17/07/2025, xe EV có giá 37.000 bảng Anh trở xuống nằm trong diện được trợ cấp giá mua. Và những xe có chỉ số kỹ thuật thân thiện với môi trường nhất sẽ nhận được mức giảm giá lớn nhất, tối đa là 3.750 bảng. Các nhà sản xuất ô tô có thể đăng ký nhận tài trợ và Hiệp hội Xe hơi RAC cho biết xe giảm giá sẽ bắt đầu xuất hiện tại các đại lý “trong vòng vài tuần tới”. Đây không phải là lần đầu tiên chính phủ Anh can thiệp vào thị trường để thúc đẩy nhu cầu xe mới. Năm 2008, chính phủ đảng Lao động của thủ tướng Gordon Brown lần đầu cho áp dụng chế độ hỗ trợ mua xe mới, hủy xe cũ, thường là loại 7-10 năm tuổi, có động cơ thế hệ cũ, xả thải gây ô nhiễm cao. Kế hoạch đó đã giúp thu hồi và hủy tới 400 nghìn chiếc xe ô-tô cũ ở nước Anh, tất nhiên các xe mới vẫn là xe xăng hoặc dầu diesel nhưng có chỉ số phát thải thân thiện hơn với môi trường. Hiện nay, nhà nước làm hai bước. Một là cấm bán và đăng ký mới các xe có động cơ toàn bộ bằng xăng hoặc dầu diesel từ năm 2030. Hai là trợ giá để người ta mua xe điện. So với các nước EU khác thì Anh có vẻ chậm hơn. Pháp, Hà Lan, Bỉ, Ireland...và Đức đều đã có trợ cấp nhằm giảm chi phí mua xe điện, hoặc bù giá, hoặc miễn thuế giao thông, hoặc hỗ trợ tín dụng... Riêng Đức có dừng chương trình bù giá mua xe điện vào cuối năm ngoái để chuyển sang một hình thức khác. Nhưng nhìn chung các nước EU giàu có nhất đều đã làm. Anh Quốc đang phải chạy đua với thời gian, và tung ra chương trình trị giá 650 triệu bảng Anh có hiệu lực trong vòng ba năm tới để trợ giúp thị trường xe điện. Tất nhiên, ngoài xe điện thì các mẫu xe động cơ hỗn hợp (hybrid) cũng đang ngày càng phổ biến ở Anh và chính phủ sẽ đầu tư 63 triệu bảng để xây dựng các điểm sạc xe điện, phục vụ cho hai loại xe này. Không chỉ ở Anh mà ở một số nước khác, việc chuyển đổi xe xăng dầu sang xe điện đột ngột sẽ gây áp lực cho mạng lưới cung cấp điện quốc gia. Theo một đánh giá chuyên ngành thì nếu ngay lập tức tất cả 34 triệu xe hơi có đăng ký trên toàn Vương quốc Anh biến thành EV thì lưới điện quốc gia (UK National Grid) phải chịu tải tăng lên 30-50%. Thế nhưng việc chuyển đổi sang xe điện (EV) sẽ diễn ra một cách từ từ, có lộ trình qua nhiều năm, đồng hành với quá trình tăng công suất điện toàn quốc, nên sẽ không có vấn đề gì. Ví dụ chính phủ hiện hành công bố kế hoạch xây 5 thêm 5 nhà máy điện nguyên tử - hiện Anh có 4 nhà máy đang hoạt động, trong vòng 10-15 năm tới. Công trình lò phản ứng hạt nhân dân dụng Sizewell C ở hạt Suffolk vừa được ký lại với Pháp để cùng triển khai. Đây là công trình đã ký với Pháp 18 năm trước nhưng bị trì hoãn. Giờ thì được tái đầu tư để khởi động quá trình xây cất, dự kiến hoàn tất vào trong khoảng từ 9 đến 12 năm tới và sẽ cung cấp điện đủ cho 4 triệu hộ gia đình hoặc điện năng tương đương 7% công suất toàn quốc. Ngoài ra là 4 lò nhỏ gọi là module hạt nhân (Small Modular Reactors -SMRs) và mỗi lò có thể cung ứng điện cho 750 nghìn hộ gia đình. Một lò phản ứng nguyên tử nhỏ này chỉ có giá chừng 2,5 triệu bảng, tức là rất rẻ. Anh cũng như Pháp, Hoa Kỳ...là các nước đã làm chủ những công nghệ năng lượng hiện đại nhất thế giới nên họ đã làm là sẽ làm được. Các nhà máy điện nguyên tử này là nòng cốt của chiến lược Net-Zero (phát thải bằng không) của Anh. Nhìn từ góc độ người tiêu dùng và người lái xe, chính phủ Anh làm gì để hỗ trợ lái xe và các gia đình không có điều kiện lắp ổ sạc riêng? Vấn đề phiền phức hơn cả việc xây nhà máy điện nguyên tử thực ra là cơ sở hạ tầng cho đầu ra, ví dụ Anh cần thêm hàng trăm nghìn điểm sạc điện công cộng. Một phần của chương trình hỗ trợ là chính phủ cấp tiền cho các địa phương sửa vỉa hè để lập ra các ống ngầm khô ráo, giúp dân kéo dây nạp điện cho xe của họ đỗ ngoài phố vào nhà. Hiện nay chỉ có người có bãi đậu xe riêng trước nhà hoặc gara riêng thì mới lắp được ổ điện chuyên dụng, chịu tải cao. Còn người dân ở chung cư, ở nhà không có chỗ đỗ xe riêng (driveway), thì không thể sạc pin cho xe điện tại nhà. Thế nên việc cải tạo vỉa hè sẽ giúp họ nạp điện qua đêm ở nhà với giá rẻ. Bởi ở Anh, giá điện về đêm rẻ hơn giá ban ngày. Vì về mặt kỹ thuật, xe điện muốn sạc pin nhanh thì cần voltage ở mức 400V trở lên (DC fast charging), cao hơn tiêu chuẩn ổ sạc điện dân dụng bình thường trong hộ gia đình là 120V hay 240V. Anh quốc cũng đang cho xây thêm số điểm sạc pin công cộng giá rẻ (30 xu Anh/kWh, so với giá thương mại lên tới 79 xu/kWh) từ 82 nghìn hiện nay lên thêm 100 nghìn nữa. Ngoài việc bỏ tiền trợ giá cho người dân mua xe điện, Anh Quốc có chính sách công nào khác thúc đẩy quá trình tiến tới Net Zero và khả năng thành công có cao không? Đây là quá trình có tác động sâu rộng tới sinh hoạt xã hội. Chính phủ có ý thức về điều này. Ví dụ với các điểm thiết yếu cho cuộc sống như bệnh viện công thì họ sẽ lắp thêm 1200 trạm sạc pin. Người ta cũng sẽ đặt các trạm sạc của nhà nước dọc xa lộ trên toàn quốc. Hiện tình hình là khu vực Luân Đôn và vùng phụ cận có nhiều điểm sạc pin, nhưng các vùng xa của Anh, Wales và Scotland thì rất hiếm. Muốn phổ cập xe điện thì chính phủ phải bỏ tiền đầu tư cho giao thông công cộng. Đầu tư cho xe bus chạy điện hoặc dùng động cơ hydrogen cũng sẽ được tăng lên. Cả Luân Đôn hiện nay mới có một đội xe buýt dùng động cơ đốt hydrogen, thân thiện với môi trường. Chính quyền Luân Đôn sẽ phải tăng số xe này lên. Xe taxi ở đô thị và xe cứu thương cũng được khuyến khích chuyển sang xe điện. Cũng cần nói là bên cạnh chính phủ thì có các sáng kiến tư nhân từ chính các tập đoàn năng lượng. Ví dụ năm 2022 tập đoàn dầu khí BP đã cam kết đầu tư 1 tỷ bảng vào mạng lưới trạm sạc pin cho xe điện. Anh Quốc có đạt Net-Zero vào năm 2050 hay không là câu hỏi quan trọng. Điều chắc chắn, theo như Quốc Hội đánh giá thì việc đạt mục tiêu này phụ thuộc rất nhiều vào cải tổ thị trường xe điện, vì giao thông vận tải đường bộ ở Anh đang đóng góp 54% vào toàn bộ số CO2 Anh quốc thả vào khí quyển hàng năm. Tóm lại là quá trình chuyển đổi từ xe đốt nhiên liệu hóa thạch sang chạy điện của Anh đã không đạt tiến độ và chiến lược vừa tung ra là cần thiết, tuy chưa rõ có đủ để tạo bước ngoặt hay là không. Thế nhưng dù sao thì chậm còn hơn không và có thể tới đây, Anh Quốc sẽ tăng tốc được quá trình này. Chúng ta hãy chờ xem.

El Audi Quattro es un coche clave en la historia y un mito. Seguro que conoces sus éxitos y, sin duda, su historia… ¿seguro? Os lanzo un reto: ¿Sabías que este modelo se diseñó de una forma un poco “chapuza” utilizando partes y elementos de otros modelos? Te aseguro que es un verdadero “coche Frankenstein”... El Audi Quattro, un verdadero “Monstruo de Frankenstein” hecho con trozos aprovechados de otros modelos, nació gracias el alemán Ferdinand Piëch, nieto de Ferry Porsche, a su vez hijo del fundador de la marca Porsche, Ferdinand Porsche… Una pequeña parte de esta historia ya la contamos, pero conviene recordarla, porque en realidad todo comienza en 1964… 16 años antes de que se presentase el Audi Quattro. En 1964 VW compra DKW… os recuerdo que 5 años después compraría NSU. Dos buenas decisiones, pues de DKW tomo la tecnología de la tracción total. Era una especie de jeep 4x4 fabricado por DKW. Como VW ya tenía la tecnología de tracción total se animó a participar en un concurso del ejército que quería más coches de todo terreno. Y nació el Iltis, que ganó el concurso y que ganó el Paris-Dakar en 1980. Por la “puerta de atrás” y discretamente en 1977 VW pide a la FIA derogar la norma que impedía correr en el Mundial de Rallyes a coches de tracción total… la FIA pregunta al resto de las marcas y ninguna se negó… Y en 1978 se lanza el VW Iltis. Y arranco el proyecto 262, que sería finalmente el Audi Quattro. Os hablaba de copia y de “chapuza”, con comillas. Hemos visto la parte de la “copia”, aunque no quiero dejar de recordar que Walter Treser, ingeniero que trabajo en el proyecto Quattro, se compró un Jensen FF… no por casualidad. ¿Qué tenéis por ahí? Esta pudo ser la pregunta que hizo Jörg Bessiger a sus colegas de VW. Porque el Quattro está hecho de piezas y elementos tomados de otros coches: Motor del Audi 200, chasis del Coupé, trasmisión del Iltis, suspensiones de Audi 80… todo ello modificado como se pudo para “armar” el mecano que era el Audi Quattro. Lo que hizo Audi es partir de un motor de VW 4 cilindros añadirle uno y con una cilindrada unitaria muy similar, de 428 cm3, llegaron a los 2.144 cm3 del motor 5 cilindros de Audi de esa época. O sea, que utilizaron ese motor, porque prácticamente no requería ni un solo marco, no había euros todavía, de inversión en investigación, y no por otra cosa… seguramente mejor hubiese sido un V6… que es lo que usan ahora. Ese motor, nacido para el 200 Turbo se utilizó tal cual para el Quattro y en la misma posición, delantero longitudinal en voladizo, lo cual no era la mejor opción para un deportivo, pero insisto, ¡es lo que había! Hans Navidek que tenía la responsabilidad de instalar la tracción total, usó la tomada del Iltis, en un Coupé. Lo que sucede es que el Iltis era más alto y con chasis separado y el Quattro debía de ser bajito y contaba con chasis monocasco… esta fue la parte más complicada. Consiguieron “meter” un diferencial central Torsen central y salidas diferentes para el tren delantero y trasero. Delante, su utilizó el esquema del Coupé de, tracción delantera convencional, y se adaptó un eje como en el Iltis para el tren posterior, que costo ajustar y encontrar sitio… pero se consiguió. El nuevo modelo ya tenía motor, el de Audi 200 Turbo; tenía carrocería, la del Audi Coupé B2; tenía transmisión, pues se había conseguido adaptar y mejorar la del Iltis… faltaban las suspensiones. La trasera del Coupé B2 no valía, porque ese modelo no estaba previsto que tuviese propulsión trasera. Audi no tenía en ese momento ningún modelo con propulsión trasera, así que había que diseñar una partiendo de cero… pero de nuevo alguien dijo, “¿no tenemos nada que nos sirva?” Y algún “iluminado” diría: “Y si ponemos una suspensión delantera, que está preparada para llevar transmisión, pero la ponemos atrás”. Dicho y hecho. Tomaron la suspensión delantera McPherson del Audi, la dieron la vuelta, le reforzaron con unos tirantes y la pusieron atrás… ya estaba terminado este maravilloso “Monstruo de Frankenstein” que es el Audi Quattro. No olvidemos que este coche nace para la competición, para los Rallyes, ese era al objetivo. De hecho, se pensaban fabricar 400 unidades, las necesarias para la homologación… finalmente se fabricaron casi 12.000. Cuando aún estaba en fase de prototipo con una carrocería de Audi 80 Audi decide que los pruebe un piloto de nivel y deciden que sea Hannu Mikkola. Según me han contado fuentes que no pudo revelar, ya sabéis que para los periodistas es una ley esa que dice “antes la muerte que la fuente”, el piloto no iba muy ilusionado. Un Audi 80 con un motor turbo ahí delante y con trasmisión de todo terreno, no parecía una idea muy sugerente… pero, permitidme un paréntesis. En esa época, la mayoría de los rallyes eran de tierra. Por ejemplo, en el 80, solo había dos rallyes de asfalto, el Montercarlo y el Tour de Corse… y en Montecarlo nevaba. El de Suecia era siempre sobre nieve. Los había mixtos, como el de Portugal, San Remo o el Rac de Gran Bretaña. Y aún se disputaban los rallyes de Costa de Marfil y el East African Safari de Kenia, unos rallyes muy especiales y, por supuesto, sobre tierra. Por eso Piëch creía en la tracción total. Tras diversas pruebas sobre prototipos Mikkola para del escepticismo al entusiasmo y el Quattro echaba a andar. En resumen, el Quattro se encontró con unos rivales anticuados y unos rallyes que les favorecían. El éxito que tuvo este modelo que hizo que todos los coches del rallyes del futuro fuesen de tracción total y una gran mayoría de deportivos de calle de elevada potencia. Hacer el coche que hicieron “apañando” el coche a base de elementos de otros, tiene mucho mérito. Pero tuvo muchas secuelas. La más importante el motor, o mejor, su posición delante en voladizo. El Audi Quattro, ni siquiera en sus versiones “cortas” y evolucionadas, fue en coche ágil y mucho menos fue un coche “fácil”. La ventaja de la tracción total era tanta, que esto no supuso un inconveniente… hasta que el resto de las marcas comenzaron a utilizar la tracción total, pero con motor central. ¿Te imaginas un Audi Quattro con motor V6 o un simple 4 cilindros, ni siquiera en posición central, sino por detrás del eje delantero? Sus éxitos hubiesen sido aún mayores. Esto es historia ficción y, si queréis, puede dar lugar a un video de “Historia-Ficción” que se titule: “El Audi Quattro diseñado desde cero”. Ahí dejo la idea y os leo en comentarios. Conclusión. Admiro enormemente a la gente que tiene sueños y los lleva adelante. Piëch soñó con un deportivo de tracción total y bajo sus auspicios, pese a las dificultades, nació el Audi Quattro. Un coche del que siempre se dice que “lo cambió todo” … y no es un tópico es la verdad.

To historia o zdradzie, krótkowzroczności elit, wielkiej geopolityce i narodzie, który utracił swoją państwowość nie od razu - lecz kawałek po kawałku. W XVIII wieku Polska nie upadła nagle. Nie było jednej decydującej bitwy, jednego momentu klęski. Był za to długi proces osłabienia, w którym decyzje – albo ich brak – podejmowano przez dekady. To opowieść o kraju, który gasł powoli, stając się najpierw pionkiem, a potem łupem w rękach sąsiadów. W prologu przypomnimy losy Polski – od czasów Słowian aż po Sejm Niemy z 1717 roku – by pokazać, jak długa i złożona była droga ku upadkowi. W pierwszej części skupimy się na kontekście międzynarodowym. Zobaczycie, jak Rosja, Prusy i Austria – początkowo bez planu rozbiorów – zaczęły postrzegać Polskę jako strefę wpływów, a następnie jako wspólny problem do rozwiązania. Prześledzimy ich strategie, ambicje i motywacje. Opowiemy o podwójnej elekcji z 1733 roku, kiedy jednocześnie wybrano dwóch królów - Leszczyńskiego i Augusta III - i o wojnie o sukcesję polską. Zajrzymy do konfederacji dzikowskiej i poznamy konsekwencje tych wydarzeń dla suwerenności państwa. Omówimy rządy Augusta III Sasa - króla nieobecnego, którego panowanie upłynęło pod znakiem zrywanych sejmów, paraliżu instytucji i dominacji magnaterii. Zrozumiecie mechanizmy działania liberum veto i dowiecie się, jak wyglądała rywalizacja stronnictw magnackich: Familii Czartoryskich i obozu Potockich. W kolejnej części przeniesiemy się do czasów ostatniego monarchy - Stanisława Augusta Poniatowskiego. Prześledzimy drogę, która wyniosła go na tron: od misji dyplomatycznej w Petersburgu, przez romans z Katarzyną II, po elekcję z 1764 roku - przeprowadzoną w atmosferze presji militarnej i politycznej ze strony Rosji. Opowiemy o reformach Poniatowskiego: Komisji Skarbowej, Szkole Rycerskiej, wsparciu dla oświecenia i kultury. Ale także o przeszkodach, które spotkał - rosyjskiej ingerencji, oporze konserwatywnej szlachty, presji ze strony mocarstw. Prześledzimy sejm repninowski, porwania senatorów, konfederację barską i wydarzenia prowadzące do I rozbioru w 1772 roku. Zobaczymy też ostatnie próby ratowania państwa: Sejm Czteroletni, uchwalenie Konstytucji 3 Maja, II rozbiór, Insurekcję Kościuszkowską i ostateczny - III rozbiór Polski w 1795 roku. I wreszcie - zadamy sobie pytanie, które wraca zawsze, gdy kończy się jakaś epoka: czy ten koniec naprawdę był nieunikniony? Dobrego słuchania!

Some of the UK's top airports now charge a fee of £7 for dropping off passengers at the airport. Only one, London City, has no charge. In contrast, almost every airport abroad allows drivers to stop outside the terminal for free. Rod Dennis of the RAC says this is another example of “rip-off Britain”.This podcast is free, as is Independent Travel's weekly newsletter. Sign up here to get it delivered to your inbox.

For amateurs, crossing the Atlantic was the next natural challenge, they had been thinking about it since before the war. Many in the scientific community were skeptical that such a feat could possibly be achieved at such a short wavelength as 200 meters, especially with power as low as one kilowatt. ----- Full Podcast (ID breaks every 10 mins for use on ham frequencies): https://www.twiar.net/twiarpodcast.rss Full Podcast (No ID Breaks for LPFM or personal listening): https://www.twiar.net/twiarpodcastlpfm.rss Truncated Podcast (Approximately 1 hour in length): https://www.twiar.net/twiarpodcast60.rss Website: https://www.twiar.net X: https://x.com/TWIAR Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/twiar.bsky.social Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/twiari YouTube: https://bit.ly/TWIARYouTube RSS News: https://twiar.net/?feed=rss2 Automated (Full Static file, updated weekly): https://twiar.net/TWIARHAM.mp3 Automated (1-hour Static file, updated weekly): https://www.twiar.net/TWIAR1HR.mp3 This Week in Amateur Radio is produced by Community Video Associates in upstate New York, and is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License.

Bridging the Gap Between AI and Business Data // MLOps Podcast #325 with Deepti Srivastava, Founder and CEO at Snow Leopard.Join the Community: https://go.mlops.community/YTJoinInGet the newsletter: https://go.mlops.community/YTNewsletter// AbstractI'm sure the MLOps community is probably aware – it's tough to make AI work in enterprises for many reasons, from data silos, data privacy and security concerns, to going from POCs to production applications. But one of the biggest challenges facing businesses today, that I particularly care about, is how to unlock the true potential of AI by leveraging a company's operational business data. At Snow Leopard, we aim to bridge the gap between AI systems and critical business data that is locked away in databases, data warehouses, and other API-based systems, so enterprises can use live business data from any data source – whether it's database, warehouse, or APIs – in real time and on demand, natively. In this interview, I'd like to cover Snow Leopard's intelligent data retrieval approach that can leverage business data directly and on-demand to make AI work.// BioDeepti is the founder and CEO of Snow Leopard AI, a platform that helps teams build AI apps using their live business data, on-demand. She has nearly 2 decades of experience in data platforms and infrastructure.As Head of Product at Observable, Deepti led the 0→1 product and GTM strategy in the crowded data analytics market. Before that, Deepti was the founding PM for Google Spanner, growing it to thousands of internal customers (Ads, PlayStore, Gmail, etc.), before launching it externally as a seminal cloud database service. Deepti started her career as a distributed systems engineer in the RAC database kernel at Oracle.// Related LinksWebsite: https://www.snowleopard.ai/AI SQL Data Analyst // Donné Stevenson - https://youtu.be/hwgoNmyCGhQ~~~~~~~~ ✌️Connect With Us ✌️ ~~~~~~~Catch all episodes, blogs, newsletters, and more: https://go.mlops.community/TYExploreJoin our Slack community [https://go.mlops.community/slack]Follow us on X/Twitter [@mlopscommunity](https://x.com/mlopscommunity) or [LinkedIn](https://go.mlops.community/linkedin)] Sign up for the next meetup: [https://go.mlops.community/register]MLOps Swag/Merch: [https://shop.mlops.community/]Connect with Demetrios on LinkedIn: /dpbrinkmConnect with Deepti on LinkedIn: /thedeepti/Timestamps:[00:00] Deepti's preferred coffee[00:49] MLflow vs Kubeflow Debate[04:58] GenAI Data Integration Challenges[09:02] GenAI Sidecar Spicy Takes[14:07] Troubleshooting LLM Hallucinations[19:03] AI Overengineering and Hype[25:06] Self-Serve Analytics Governance[33:29] Dashboards vs Data Quality[37:06] Agent Database Context Control[43:00] LLM as Orchestrator[47:34] Tool Call Ownership Clarification[51:45] MCP Server Challenges[56:52] Wrap up
Ramon Mirabet ha aparegut a mig pregó per cantar un dels seus temes més populars i dedicar unes paraules precioses a Sitges atenent a les preguntes de la pregonera del Corpus 2025, Roser Forgas Sampedro. La periodista sitgetana ha volgut compartir el seu dia amb tot de sitgetans protagonistes actius en la festa del Corpus, des dels grallers fins a la canalla que fa catifes, passant per qui les dibuixa o cultiva els clavells, o qui coneix la història de la festa i amb menció especial als gegants Cubanitos, també presents al Racó de la Calma, i colla de la que en va formar part anys enrera. Forgas ha parat atenció en el que representa per a ella el Corpus però s'ha centrat en el tarannà de col·lectivitat que la festa genera i del que ella en gaudeix amb amics, família i també, a la feina. El Racó de la Calma ha aplegat més de 250 persones per escoltar així el pregó que obre oficialment la festa del Corpus 2025, acte que ha iniciat el president de la comissió de Corpus, Eduard Tomàs. L'entrada Roser Forgas pregona el Corpus compartint protagonisme amb gent de la festa i algun convidat molt especial ha aparegut primer a Radio Maricel.
Conversem amb Roser Forgas Sampedro, pregonera del Corpus d'enguany. La Roser, que inicialment no s'hi veia, ha acceptat de molt bon grat el que ella considera un gran regal: poder declamar el Pregó del Clavell el proper divendres 20 de juny al Racó de la Calma. Més enllà d'alguns petits detalls de com ha viscut tot el procés de creació del pregó, Roser Forgas ens dóna algunes de les claus per entendre una festa que conserva encara aquell esperit de poble i de trobada amb els veïns. L'entrada Roser Forgas Sampedro, pregonera del Corpus 2025: “quan m’ho van proposar no m’hi veia però després vaig pensar… i per què no?. És un regal!” ha aparegut primer a Radio Maricel.

Apple adopta el calendario gregoriano para su software, y nos olvidamos de los números y los nombres de sitios raros. Pasando de números secuenciales (como iOS 18) a una denominación basada en el año de lanzamiento (ej. iOS 26). Exploramos las implicaciones técnicas y de marketing: desde el salto desconcertante de VisionOS (de la versión 2 a 26) hasta las comparaciones con estrategias de Samsung. Profundizamos en la ausencia de ejecutivos de Apple en el podcast "The Talk Show" durante la WWDC, interpretándolo como una señal de mayor control mediático ante presiones regulatorias (UE, demandas antimonopolio) y el retraso en inteligencia artificial. Analizamos cómo esto evidencia una empresa más hermética, alejada de la accesibilidad de épocas pasadas.También destacamos anuncios clave: la llegada de WhatsApp para iPad tras 15 años (posiblemente fruto de acuerdos con Meta), la compra del estudio RAC 7 para impulsar Apple Arcade, y rumores de una tienda de juegos exclusiva con integración de trofeos y chat.Finalmente, abordamos temas diversos como el hospital de Georgia operado íntegramente con dispositivos Apple (iPhones para médicos, iPads en camillas), el uso de 25 iPhones en el rodaje de "28 años después" aprovechando USB-C, y la polarización del mercado europeo de smartphones (tercio premium vs. gama baja).Cerramos con el rechazo de Apple a la oferta satelital de Starlink en 2022: Elon Musk exigía 5 mil millones y 72 horas para responder, pero Apple priorizó su relación con operadoras y evitó lidiar con su imprevisibilidad.

Foundations of Amateur Radio Around the world are thousands of associations, groups of people, clubs if you like, that represent radio amateurs. Some of those associations are anointed with a special status, that of "member society" or "peak body", which allows them to represent their country with their own governments and on the international stage to the ITU, the International Telecommunications Union, through a global organisation, the IARU, the International Amateur Radio Union. Some of these are known across our whole community, the ARRL in the USA, the RSGB in the UK, and the WIA in Australia. Some much less so, the CRAC, the Chinese Radio Amateurs Club, or the ARSI, the Amateur Radio Society of India, for example. In an attempt to get a deeper understanding of what distinguishes these organisations, I visited a dozen member society websites. Cultural sensibilities and aesthetics aside, the variety and sense of priority is both pleasing and astounding. Starting close to home, the WIA, the Wireless Institute of Australia, shows news as the most important and the top story is a radio contact between the International Space Station and a school, held about two weeks ago. The ERAU, the Estonian Radio Amateurs Association, features an article about the 2025 General Meeting outlining who was there, what was discussed and thanking the participants for their contributions. When I visited, the ARRL, the American Radio Relay League, top news item, was the renewed defence of the 902-928 MHz Amateur Radio Band, from a few days ago. The most important issue for the ARRL is that you read the latest edition of QST magazine, but only if you're a member. The RSGB, the Radio Society of Great Britain, has an odd landing page that links to the main site, which features much of the same content. The latest news is "Mental Health Awareness Week" and encourages us to celebrate kindness in our community. The DARC, the German Amateur Radio Club, has a page full of announcements and the top one was an article about current solar activity including a coronal hole and various solar flares. The ERASD, the Egyptian Radio Amateurs Society for Development, uses qsl.net as its main website. It features many images with text, presumably in Arabic, that unfortunately I was not able to translate. Curiously the landing page features some English text that welcomes all interested to join. I confess that I love the juxtaposition between a Yaesu FT-2000 transceiver and the images of Tutankhamun and the pyramids. The RAC, the Radio Amateurs of Canada, use their homepage to promote its purpose, and features many pictures of their bi-monthly magazine, which you can only read if you're a member, which is where many of the homepage links seem to go. The RCA, the Radio Club of Argentina, is promoting the 2024-2025 Railway Marathon, including links to descriptions of what constitutes a Railway Activation, how to reserve your station, and upcoming and past activations. There's also a reminder to renew your license. The ARSI, the Amateur Radio Society of India, has a very sparse landing page showing their mission and not much else. Clicking around gives you lots of information about the history, activities, awards and the like. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find out how to become licensed in India. There's hardly any images. In contrast, the URA, the Union of Radio Amateurs of Andorra, lands you on a page with contact details and not much else. Clicking through the site gives you lots of pictures of happy people and maps, lots of maps. The KARL, the Korean Amateur Radio League, features an announcement with a link to the 24th Amateur Radio Direction Finding, from a week ago, but it requires a login to actually read it. The JARL, the Japan Amateur Radio League, features an announcement to a form you can complete to join the "List of stations from which you do not wish to receive QSL cards." The NZART, the New Zealand Association of Radio Transmitters, features a big button to latest news and clicking on it shows the "Jock White Field Day", which was held several months ago. I wasn't able to see the CRAC, the Chinese Radio Amateurs Club, since the page didn't load for me. The "Wayback machine", also known as archive.org, from a capture a few days ago, showed a news item announcing the intent to organise the 1st Class C Amateur Radio Technical "something", I say "something" because I cannot actually load the article and see what it has to say. The event was scheduled for a month ago, the announcement was from several months ago. Content aside, finding sites was interesting too, mind you, there's plenty of member associations that don't have any web presence at all. Is that by choice, or necessity? The IARU list of member societies conflicts with the list of national organisations shown on Wikipedia. The IARU has about 160 entries, I say about, since the list isn't really formatted as much as it's congealed. Let's just say, perhaps a table for tabular data might be a novel approach. Wikipedia is slightly better formatted, it lists 93 national organisations. As it happens, both include a link to the national organisation for China, which is either the Chinese Radio Sports Association, with apparently two different acronyms, either CRSAOA, or CRSA, or if you believe the IARU as a source, it's the one I mentioned earlier, the CRAC. I don't know which one is right, but at least we can assume that the IARU page was updated formally, rather than edited by someone on the internet. Regardless of which one is the "real" Chinese national amateur radio organisation, none of the websites loaded for me. Let's move on. It's interesting that several non-English sites like Korea, Japan and Germany feature a button that allows their site to be translated into English. What's even more interesting is that the English version of the site is not in any way the same content. In many cases it appears to be information relevant to English visitors rather than a translation. One notable exception is Estonia, which allows a visitor to read their site in Estonian or English right out of the box. Unsurprisingly, the ARRL website has no buttons for Spanish, even though that represents about 13 percent of the USA population, let alone any other language. I'd encourage you to visit a few and see what you can learn about the other members of our community around the world. My visits leave me with questions. What do these organisations stand for? What do they do? Are they there for amateurs, for aspirant members, the general public, for regulators, for their members, for fund raising and advertising, or international visitors and tourism? It seems to me that looking at just a few of these organisations reveals a great many things about how they understand their own role and how they deliver service and just how much money they have to play with to make that happen. I'll leave you to ponder how effective they might be and what your role is in that endeavour. I'm Onno VK6FLAB

EP148: Nick's Weight Loss Story: From Roadside Habits to Slimming World Icon In this episode, I chat with Nick, a down-to-earth guy from Surrey who made a powerful transformation - not just in weight, but in mindset, habits, and lifestyle. As a long-time manager for the RAC, Nick's days were often spent on the road, eating at petrol stations and fast food chains, living a life that eventually caught up with him. What followed was a major wake-up call: sleep apnoea, asthma, sky-high cholesterol, and pre-diabetes. But what makes Nick's story so relatable is how he didn't do it alone - he tackled it with a group of close mates who all joined Slimming World together, creating a support system that made the process not just manageable, but even enjoyable. Nick shares the power of community, the reality of setbacks, and what it really takes to build a lifestyle that lasts. Now, with 6 stone lost and a national Slimming World Icon title under his belt, he's living proof that it's never too late to change - and that men should absolutely be part of the conversation around weight loss and wellbeing. Key Highlights: The real cost of “grab and go” living – How a career on the road contributed to poor health. From denial to decision – The moment Nick knew he had to change. The power of a support system – How joining Slimming World with 4 friends created lasting accountability. No more “bad days” – Learning to live with balance instead of guilt. From member to icon – How Nick's journey led him to becoming the national Slimming World Icon. Support the podcast!

Comentamos el disco 'Debut' de Björk, con Joan S. Luna como invitado. Joan S. Luna es un crítico musical de Barcelona y el jefe de redacción de ‘MondoSonoro', una revista musical independiente de referencia en España. Se inició en los noventa escribiendo para la histórica revista ‘Metali-KO', y desde entonces ha colaborado en publicaciones como ‘El país', ‘El mundo', ‘Rockdelux' o ‘Time Out'; con emisoras como Los 40 Principales, Catalunya Ràdio, SER Catalunya, iCat, Ràdio 4 o Rac 1; y con fanzines internacionales como ‘Riff Raff' o ‘Hit It Or Quit It', entre muchos otros medios. También dirigió y presentó el programa ‘New Noise/Nuevo ruido' de Radio Primavera Sound junto a Jordi Meya, corresponsable de ‘El pódcast de RockZone'. Hasta la fecha, Joan ha publicado dos libros: ‘Los colores del underground' —el primero en España sobre el surrealismo pop— y la novela de bolsillo ‘Amarga como el peyote'. Además, por si fuera poco, suele pinchar discos en salas y festivales, ejerce de jurado en concursos musicales, da ponencias y modera debates sobre la industria musical, escribe sobre cómic y animación japonesa, ha remezclado a artistas como Love Of Lesbian, Pony Bravo, El Columpio Asesino o Yelle, e incluso ha publicado su propio material bajo el pseudónimo Ville Rowland. En esta serie de episodios que dedicaremos a ‘Debut' hablaremos a fondo del disco, pero también nos centraremos en la biografía y la carrera de Björk hasta ese punto. En el episodio de hoy comentamos: La infancia de Björk y la influencia familiar en su desarrollo musical. El uso generalizado de ‘samples' en los años noventa. Cómo los noventa conectaron a gran parte del público roquero con la música electrónica. La honestidad a la hora de usar pistas pregrabadas en los conciertos. Además, Joan nos cuenta sobre las dos ocasiones en las que entrevistó a Björk.
