In this episode, we explore the career of Matt Damon, Hollywood's ultimate everyman. Join us as we unpack how he's spent three decades as one of the industry's most dependable, and surprisingly interchangeable, leading men, why he's seemingly contractually obligated to spend every movie trying to get back home, and why it's finally time for him to stop escaping and give us the cinematic love letter to his hometown we've been waiting for.

You've been using AI for months. You can see what it does. And when you look around the room, you can count on one hand the people on your team who are actually using it. The rest aren't pushing back. They just haven't started. "I had to hear from some other people how they're using it in their daily lives, and I didn't wanna just trust people who are tech-savvy." That's Mark Maynard, a coach, author, and speaker who helps leaders in hotels, restaurants, museums, and a construction company connect purpose to daily operations. Six months ago, he was the person on your team who still hasn't tried it. Using ChatGPT for recipes and road trip stops, nothing more. Mark joins host Erik Martinez on Episode 116 of the Digital Velocity Podcast to talk through what actually changed, and what it means for leaders trying to bring their teams along. Mark shares the specific moment a client problem broke through months of skepticism, explains why trusted people telling real stories mattered more than any demo, and describes how he used AI to help a construction company turn 1,000 pages of operational playbooks into something their employees would actually remember. "Efficiency was not the desired outcome, depth was." If the people on your team haven't bought in yet, this conversation reframes why, and what to do about it.

Topics covered in this episode: django-orjson Best Django Redis configuration for speed and size Linus Torvalds puts the foot down against Anti-AI Kernel Maintainers Django Steering Council backs the Triptych Project Extras Joke Watch on YouTube About the show Sponsored by us! Support our work through: Our courses at Talk Python Consulting from Six Feet Up Connect with the hosts Michael: Mastodon / BlueSky / X / LinkedIn Calvin: Mastodon / BlueSky / X / LinkedIn Show: Mastodon / BlueSky / X Join us on YouTube at pythonbytes.fm/live to be part of the audience. Usually Tuesday at 7am PT. Older video versions available there too. Michael #1: django-orjson Adam Johnson dropped django-orjson - drop-in replacements for the Django and DRF pieces that touch JSON, swapping stdlib json for orjson, the Rust-based library. Headline numbers: 10x faster serialization, 2x faster deserialization. The interesting question is why this needs to be a package at all. pip install orjson is the easy part. Adam's actual pitch: adopting it "isn't easy, especially when your framework uses json in many different parts." Django scatters JSON across JsonResponse, the test client and test case classes, the json_script template tag, and more. There's no single hook to grab, so you get a library that catches them all. Adam is refreshingly honest about the scale of the win. His words: "While database queries tend to dominate the typical Django application's runtime, the time spent in serialization and deserialization can still be significant." He calls it "a nearly free performance win" - not "this will 10x your app." That's a claim about cost, not magnitude, and it's worth keeping those straight. Worth flagging what the post doesn't cover: caveats. There are none in the article, but orjson has real ones. Django and Flask both render datetimes as RFC 822 HTTP-date (Wed, 15 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT); orjson does ISO 8601. It can't do ensure_ascii, it rejects NaN and Infinity (which stdlib happily emits), and it raises on Decimal. If you've got a JS client parsing dates, that's a wire-format change. Who should actually take this? If you're a DRF shop shoveling JSON all day, yes - it's cheap and it's real. If your app mostly renders HTML templates, you're optimizing a slice of runtime that's already near zero. The problem Adam's package solves doesn't exist in Flask or Quart. They already centralize every JSON operation - jsonify, request.get_json(), the test client, the |tojson filter - behind one provider object at app.json. So there's no library to install. It's about ten lines: import orjson from quart.json.provider import JSONProvider # or flask.json.provider class OrjsonProvider(JSONProvider): def dumps(self, obj, **kwargs) -> str: return orjson.dumps(obj).decode() # provider must return str def loads(self, s, **kwargs): return orjson.loads(s) app.json = OrjsonProvider(app) The numbers on talkpython.fm Evaluated it, measured it, and skipped it. The biggest JSON payload we serve is our MCP server returning a cached episode transcript, about 139 KB. Swapping the provider saves 0.119 milliseconds per request. That total response takes 1.1 ms We got 4.1x, not 10x - and the reason is the good lesson. Payload shape decides your speedup. The 10x is for structure-heavy data, lots of small keys where stdlib burns time in Python-level dispatch per item. Our hot payload is one giant transcript string, so the work is escaping and memcpy Calvin #2: Best Django Redis configuration for speed and size Peter Bengtsson revisits a classic: his 2017 "Fastest Redis configuration for Django" benchmark now has a 2026 update posted this week. The 2017 post pitted django-redis serializers (json, ujson, msgpack, pickle) and compressors (zlib, lzma) against each other; conclusion was msgpack + zlib as the sweet spot - avoid the json serializer, it's fat and slow. The 2026 update narrows focus to just compressors: default (no compression), zlib, lzma, and newcomer zstd. New results: lzma compresses best but is slowest; zstd is the fastest compressor on Ubuntu; differences between them are very small. Big takeaway across both: compression buys you a lot of space (2–3.5x smaller) for very little speed cost - worth it for Redis where memory is the constraint. Caveat from the author: results depend heavily on your data - his test stores short strings of numbers, so benchmark your own workload. Michael #3: Linus Torvalds puts the foot down against Anti-AI Kernel Maintainers Write up on Ars. Really good coverage by Maximillian: Time to wake up (for some) Torvalds said that “Linux is not one of those anti-AI projects, and if somebody has issues with that, they can do the open-source thing and fork it. Or just walk away.” I agree with Max, putting your head in the sand and waiting for AI to go away will likely mean you won't be working professionally in software development in the coming years. The statement came amid a lengthy thread arguing about the use of Sashiko, an “agentic Linux kernel code review system” that its creators claim can, in tests, independently find 53.6 percent of the bugs that would end up being fixed by human coders in later commits. “We're not forcing anybody to use [LLM tools], but I will very loudly ignore people who try to argue against other people from using it,” Torvalds said. “Anybody who points to the problems at AI had better be looking in the mirror and pointing at themselves at the same time,” Torvalds wrote. Calvin #4: Django Steering Council backs the Triptych Project Django Steering Council issued a Letter of Collaboration backing Carson Gross & Alex Petros's funding bid for the Triptych Project - three proposals to make HTML more expressive natively, in every browser. The three additions: PUT/PATCH/DELETE methods for forms, button actions (buttons that fire HTTP requests without a wrapping form), and partial page replacement. Distills the core ideas from HTMX/Unpoly/Turbo into the HTML standard itself - no JS, no library, nothing to ship or maintain. Current focus is button actions (WHATWG #12330): Logout instead of wrapping a button in a form. Relevant to Django directly - think the admin submit row and disguised delete links; Django 6.0's template partials were already inspired by these patterns. How to help: companies can send non-binding letters of support on letterhead; individuals can read the proposals and weigh in on the WHATWG issues.

Fibre-maxxing, high protein everything, GLP-1 injections... diet trends come and go, but does your body actually care what's fashionable? In this episode, Dr Lucy Burns and Dr Mary Barson take a good look at why real food, higher protein and lower carb eating remains one of the most effective approaches for metabolic health, no matter what's currently having a moment on social media. Dr Lucy and Dr Mary unpack why our physiology hasn't caught up with our rapidly changing food environment, and why that matters for anyone trying to lose weight or improve their health. They explore the difference between trendy fibre and food-industry fibre, why adherence (not willpower) is usually the real barrier to lasting change, and how GLP-1 medications can work in partnership with a real food, lower carb approach rather than replacing it. They also bust the myth that these medications are "cheating," explaining how they may help quiet food noise so people can actually use the tools they've learned. If you've ever felt like low carb is old news, this episode is an evidence-informed reminder that some fundamentals never really go out of style. Tune in for practical insight you can actually use, trendy or not.

We were at the dress rehearsal of BIRDY, one Hung Dance's most critically acclaimed productions, which will be premiering in New York at NYU Skirball on July 17 & 18th. BIRDY explores the relationship between freedom, limitation, and identity through a distinctive movement language inspired by Tai Chi, traditional Peking opera and contemporary dance. Related Links: https://talkingtaiwan.com/birdy-explores-universal-themes-of-freedom-limitation-and-identity-relevant-to-taiwan-ep-353/ We sat down to speak with Lai Hung-Chung, Choreographer and Artistic Director of Hung Dance about his artistic vision for BIRDY and Wei-Ping Chen the dance company's Operations Director. Lai told us that the themes of freedom, limitation, and identity not only reflect his personal struggles but also relate to Taiwan's situation. Hung Dance is an award-winning Taiwanese contemporary dance company founded in 2017. The troupe's name comes from the Chinese character 翃 (Hóng), meaning to fly.

What if the breakthrough we've been waiting for isn't years away, but available right now? This powerful message challenges us to shift our understanding of God's timing from gradual processes to instantaneous miracles. We're invited to examine the biblical truth that many of God's most significant works happen in a moment—salvation, justification, becoming a new creation, receiving the Holy Spirit—all occur instantly. The teaching draws us into Luke 4:18, where Jesus boldly declares that the Spirit of the Lord is upon Him to heal, deliver, and set captives free, then simply states, 'This day is this scripture fulfilled.' Yet we discover something profound: not everyone in that room received their miracle. The difference wasn't God's willingness or power, but the people's reception. Through the stories of the widow who gave her last to Elijah and Naaman who had to obey by dipping in the Jordan, we see a pattern—instant miracles require instant obedience and faith. The challenge before us is sobering: Are we rejecting what heaven has already released because our minds are louder than our faith? Are we waiting for process when God is offering power? This isn't about denying the journey of transformation, but recognizing that revelation can be instantaneous, and that revelation becomes the foundation for our progressive transformation. We're called to stop disqualifying ourselves from what God has already qualified us for. We pray this message blesses you and gives you the strength you need to do and be all that God has called you to do and be!

Sponsored by Pepperstone Early 2000s. I flew from the UK to Las Vegas to sit in on a new trader intake at a prop firm. Three strategies, all working, all making the firm serious money. I went home and couldn't trade a single one of them. Not because they were bad. Because they were never going to fit me… I didn't have the capital, the stomach for size, or the appetite for spreadsheets. Took me a long time to work out the difference between "this doesn't work" and "this doesn't work for me." In this episode, I break down all three strategies (NYSE opening print fair value, ECN liquidity rebates, and pairs trading), why each one failed in my hands, and the filter I now run every new strategy through before I waste any time on it. Relevant timing, given we're currently tearing down 12 popular strategies in the Pepperstone webinar series. Some will be for you. Most won't. That's the whole point.

This powerful message centers on the concept that God has prepared things for us that are beyond our wildest imagination—things we haven't seen, heard, or even conceived in our hearts. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 2:9 and Ephesians 3:16-20, we're reminded that there are dreams, purposes, and divine appointments waiting for us that exceed our current capacity to envision. The key to accessing these supernatural realities lies in four foundational practices: being strengthened by the Holy Spirit through praying in tongues, establishing ourselves in faith through God's Word, being rooted and grounded in His unconditional love, and being filled with the fullness of God. The message emphasizes that the Holy Spirit is our comforter, teacher, and intercessor who knows all things and prays the perfect will of God through us. When we commit to daily prayer in the Spirit, we build spiritual roots like a palm tree—constantly regenerating, flexible, and creating an intricate network of stability that withstands every storm. We're challenged to stop living on yesterday's faith and encounters, recognizing that God's mercies are new every morning. The vision of dry bones in Ezekiel 37 becoming a great army illustrates what happens when God breathes life into dead situations—we don't just come alive individually, but we become part of something greater, overflowing with the fullness of God to impact others. This isn't just about personal blessing; it's about becoming equipped to fulfill our divine purpose as part of God's spiritual army. We pray this message blesses you and gives you the strength you need to do and be all that God has called you to do and be!

This powerful message challenges us to confront a sobering reality: we must not die with our destiny still locked inside us. Drawing from Moses' journey in Deuteronomy and Exodus, we're reminded that setbacks don't disqualify us from God's calling—they often prepare us for it. Moses knew he was called to be Israel's deliverer, but a mistake in timing led to 40 years of exile. Yet God never canceled his assignment. The burning bush moment reveals something profound: God cares more about who we're becoming than the promise itself. He's working on our character through the process. We learn that our response is our faith, and diligence—not just belief—is what eradicates time and moves us toward destiny. The message confronts our tendency to identify with past failures rather than our identity in Christ. When Moses asked 'Who am I?' at the burning bush, he was suffering from an identity crisis caused by his setback. But God introduced him as the deliverer he'd always called him to be. The revolutionary truth? Our setbacks cannot cancel our calling. What we've been through hasn't disqualified us—it's likely qualified us even more. We must stop allowing temporary setbacks to become permanent identities and start declaring 'I am' statements rooted in who God says we are.

Are chatbots still relevant in the age of generative AI? From AI governance and implementation challenges to practical opportunities for businesses and governments, these are some of the critical considerations business leaders and policymakers should be having to try to determine how to move beyond the current AI hype. We are joined once again by software development professional and longtime friend of the Podcast, Kern Elliott, who shares his insights on, among other things: * how AI has evolved, * why automation still matters, and * what Caribbean organisations need to consider before investing in AI solutions.

Sir Greg Doran is somewhat of a legend in the world of theatre and William Shakepeare. The first time the former Artistic Director Emeritus of the Royal Shakespeare Company came to New Zealand it was thanks to a copy of a First Folio of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet held at the Auckland Central City Library. Now the renowned theatre director is back in the country, but this time working with students, actors and the public discussing the love stories cultures share, and why they are such timeless tales. Sir Greg's visit was prompted by a creative project involving the Maori legend of Hinemoa and Tutanekai - two star crossed lovers that some call New Zealand's Romeo and Juliet, but with a happier ending.
Todd Kurnat is everywhere. In this episode, meet and get to know Todd. These days, he's also known as Ink Letterman for his art and DJ Circuit 73 for his musical stylings. We begin in Michigan. Both sets of Todd's grandparents grew up in Greenville, Michigan, about an hour outside Grand Rapids. His parents met in high school in that small town. They eventually moved to Grand Rapids, the big city in that part of the world. His dad worked at a transportation company and his mom was a nurse at St. Mary's Hospital. It was the early Seventies—around 1972 or so. Todd was born in 1973. His mom had done some college, and his dad had joined the US military to teach about weapons-grade rockets. He was never deployed to Vietnam. Todd says that engineering DNA in his dad runs through him, although Todd uses it for less destructive ends. Sometime after Todd came around, the family moved to Johnston Street, still in the inner-city part of Grand Rapids. The neighborhood had access to downtown. Todd spent a lot of time riding his BMX bike around the area with friends. Eventually, bikes gave way to skateboards, which he took all over his city. But we'll get to that. His earliest memories on Johnston Street involve playing in the front yard—baseball and football with kids from the hood. In the backyard, they had a basketball hoop. Eventually, Todd was joined by two younger sisters and a younger brother. He remembers spending a lot of time with his sisters before his brother was born when Todd was 13. Another of Todd 's earliest memories involve listening to music. His dad had an 8-track player that Todd used a lot. Those tapes made him so happy that he'd run around the house doing laps. The radio was also on a lot in Todd's house. Todd went to Catholic school until his early high school years. One day, his mom showed up at his private school, got him out, and said, "we're leaving." Both his parents worked to support themselves and their (at the time) three kids. But changes had to happen, and so they put their oldest kid in public high school. It proved to be a life-changing move for Todd. Right away, he made new friends, a few of which have proved to be life-long buddies. The common thread for them was music and movies. Bikes and skateboards, too. Speaking of bikes … Around age 12, Todd had a newspaper route. Because he already had a bike when the BMX craze really took off, around the mid-Eighties, he followed that. He and his friends eventually started riding their bikes on street ramps. They also built and rode on dirt tracks. BMX gave way to skateboarding when Todd was 13 or 14. For a minute, he did both, but then someone stole his bike. Like me, skate videos got him hooked—videos from Powell Peralta featuring pro skaters like San Francisco's own Tommy Guerrero. And it wasn't just the skating in the videos that impressed Todd—he also dug the music enough to record it from VHS to cassette tape. Toward the end of his high school days, Todd taught himself to play guitar. He bought a four-track Tascam recorder and started experimenting with it. He did stuff on his own, but also joined with some friends to form a band called Landis. They played for most of the rest of the Nineties. Relevant to who Todd would become years later, a lot of the existence of Landis involved him screwing around with different configurations and recording locations. Think: experimental, but not necessarily falling into the so-called experimental genre. After high school, Todd moved to Denver and kept playing music. He and two roommates called their Colorado group The Suspect. They played a couple shows. Todd and I go on a sidebar on playing live vs. recording vs. writing songs. Live was always my favorite, and Todd agrees. Moving to Denver was all about escaping Grand Rapids, seeing a little bit of the world, and going to art school. He studied illustration and graphic design. He'd been drawing and doodling about as far back as he could remember. In high school, at the public school his mom put him in, there was a counselor who had steered Todd in the direction of graphic design, and he's grateful for that. Turns out he has spent the better part of the last 30 years doing graphic design. We end Part 1 with Todd looking back on how much technology has advanced since he got started in the digital art world. Check back this Thursday to hear all about Todd's move to San Francisco and what he's been up to since he got here. It's a lot, and it'll all be in Part 2 of this episode.

This interview discusses the winning screenplay "Love Your Lawyer" written by Sterling Elliott and Katrina Redd, a romantic comedy about a couple forced to work together during a divorce. The screenplay was inspired by a joke made during their prenup process, where Sterling humorously asked Katrina to represent him if they ever got divorced, leading to the development of their feature film project. The couple worked on the screenplay for three years while balancing Katrina's legal career and Sterling's filmmaking background, with their first child born during the writing process. They discussed the current state of romantic comedies in Hollywood, noting the genre's shift to streaming platforms and lower budgets, while expressing hope for selling their screenplay. The interview also covered their future creative plans, including writing a children's book about encouraging kindness and developing a TV pilot with similar themes about finding comedy through loss. Watch the screenplay reading: https://youtu.be/iPR1kprj4Ts Get to know the writer: What is your screenplay about?

They discuss China's progress in catching up to the US, what the recent turmoil around Anthropic's most advanced models reveals about the politics of releasing frontier AI and why Europe, dependent on the US for both chips and models, is left exposed on all sides. They explore whether an "Airbus for AI", an initiative for pooling compute, capital and expertise across member states, could close the gap, and what it would take for Brussels' new cloud and AI industrial proposals to matter at scale.Relevant research: García-Herrero, A. and B.

Jesus did not choose the most qualified people to change the world. He chose twelve ordinary men, called them to Himself, and sent them out with His authority. This look at Mark 3 and the calling of the twelve disciples explores why Jesus withdrew from the crowds, what He was doing on the mountain, and what His pattern of calling reveals about how God still works today. Topics covered include why Jesus had a boat prepared for His own protection, what the crowds were really looking for, how Jesus spent the night in prayer before appointing His disciples, and what it means that He called them first to be with Him before sending them out. Each of the twelve disciples is introduced with context about who they were, including Simon Peter, James and John the Sons of Thunder, Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew the tax collector, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot. Key themes include the calling of the disciples, ordinary people used by God, the Great Commission, spiritual formation, being with Jesus before doing for Jesus, and what it means to be sent. Relevant passages include Mark 3, John 15:16, Acts 4:13, Acts 17:6, Luke 22:22, and 1 Corinthians 1:26-27. If you have ever wondered whether God can use someone like you, this is for you. The disciples had no impressive credentials. Their only qualification was that Jesus wanted them. And those same ordinary men turned the world upside down. Relevant keywords and topics: calling of the twelve disciples, Mark 3 Bible study, who were the twelve apostles, ordinary people used by God, Christian discipleship, spiritual formation, come and follow Jesus, Great Commission, being sent by God, how God calls people, New Testament discipleship, Christian calling and purpose, Jesus and His disciples, apostles of Jesus, faith and obedience, how to follow Jesus, Christian living, Bible teaching, church sermon, gospel mission.

They also dig into what this pattern could mean for bookkeeping, audits, IT help desks, and other expert workflows where the system can measure what “right” looks like.Relevant links:OpenAI Tax AI case study: https://openai.com/index/building-self-improving-tax-agents-with-codex/OpenAI Codex: https://openai.com/codex/Harness engineering: https://openai.com/index/harness-engineering/Thrive Holdings: https://www.thriveholdings.com/Crete: https://www.cretepa.com/Subscribe to The Neuron newsletter: https://theneuron.ai
“It had grown to be quite an expensive event. Our members wanted to host the games, and because of the size and the scale of the event that was not possible.”Mani Djazmi speaks to Katie Sadleir, CEO of the Commonwealth Games about how hosting the event had become unaffordable for many Commonwealth countries. This summer's games were to be held in Victoria, Australia, but they withdrew due to expanding costs.Speaking ahead of the Games which now take place in Glasgow, Scotland from the end of July, she talks about the new strategy she launched to make them more sustainable. Despite having fewer sports now, she says the event is still important.Sadleir started her sporting career in artistic swimming, competing in major events such as the 1984 LA Olympics, and the Edinburgh Commonwealth Games soon after. You'll hear about her journey from the water to the boardroom, and then to head of the Commonwealth Games.
