Im Podcast gibt es einen Kessel voll hörenswerter Bugs und Lücken. Solche, die clever sind, aber leicht vermeidbar wären. Solche, die längst bekannt sind und trotzdem noch Probleme bereiten. Bugs, die technisch interessant sind, aber dem Urheber peinlich sein sollten. Wobei diese Kategorien sich durchaus überlappen. Außerdem wurden die Hosts auf eine interessante Alternative zu BGP gestupst und sie sprechen einen TLS-Handshake ein – das gibt's wohl nur im Passwort- Podcast.
Healthcare industry: medical transportation, medical billing, homecare business
September was defined by costs providers do not set.Colorado's July 1 rate change dropped the per-trip ambulatory rate to $12.15, down from $36.40, and mileage to $2.74. Transit-to-Care, serving the Pikes Peak region, closed September 1. Van With a Plan stopped transporting about 25 families and let roughly 15 people go, but it remains in operation. Those trips did not disappear. More than twenty providers still serve El Paso County, new provider enrollment reopens October 1, and the state moves to a single broker January 1.Fuel moved the same direction. Regular gasoline reached $4.48 a gallon for the week of September 21, up about 43 cents since mid-August. Diesel set a record weekly average above $6.50.The month was not all pressure. Iowa filed a state plan amendment adding non-emergency medical transportation for its Health and Wellness Plan population, creating new trip volume where none existed. New York City released Vision Zero Reimagined, a ten-year plan whose fleet safety commitments reach contracted and regulated fleets. Waymo launched transit rewards in the Bay Area, positioning autonomous service as a connection to transit rather than a replacement. And the Department of Transportation released America Leads, its updated national strategy for automated vehicles, with no binding rules yet and a roadmap running through 2030.Three Medicaid transportation contracts also changed hands in Virginia, Washington D.C., and Orange County, California. The lesson across all three is the same: a transition date on paper is not a transition date until the award clears and your paperwork is current.We close with the new episode of Inside the Lamp, where Cameron Craig talks with Jim Ingalls, Director of Operations at MediCab of Rochester. Jim joined as a driver in 1991 and is direct about the squeeze. Insurance on thirty-two vehicles ran over $500,000 this year while Medicaid reimbursement stayed flat.The through line is straightforward. The rate, the wage, and the price at the pump are set somewhere else. Routing, verification, credentialing, and service mix are set by you.Read the full issue: https://routegenie.com/blog/genie-journal-september-2026/Subscribe to The Genie Journal: https://go.routegenie.com/newsletterLearn about RouteGenie: https://routegenie.com
This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss their Texas Field Work where they rode in Cybercab, Waymo, Avride, May Mobility robotaxis, Kodiak and Aurora autonomous trucks, and inspected depots across Austin and Dallas.Grayson's verdict on Tesla's Cybercab is simple. Once you go Cybercab, you don't go back. In Austin, wait times averaged two to five minutes across dozens of rides, and from a software perspective Grayson found no material difference between Cybercab and the Model Y Robotaxi in terms of performance.In Austin, Grayson counted roighly 200 to 300 vehicles at Avride's upfitting facility, a presence he believes the market is overlooking, and views Hyundai as a quiet winner of the robotaxi buildout with the IONIQ 5 powering Waymo, Avride and Motional. The Zoox depot in Dallas was under construction with no visible charging infrastructure, and Grayson estimates it is 12 to 18 months from being operational.Both Walt and Grayson rode in a Kodiak autonomous truck and Walt noted clear improvement ahead of Kodiak's driver-out target on the Dallas to Houston lane by year-end. Additionally, Walt rode in an unsupervised Aurora autonomous truck at their Investor Day.On the Foreign Autonomy Desk, Baidu is ramping supervised robotaxi testing in London with Lyft, Mercedes-Benz signed a licensing deal with Wayve, and Tensor Auto is preparing to deploy robotaxis with Volt Premium Taxi in Bulgaria.Episode Chapters0:00 Once You Go Cybercab, You Don't Go Back03:56 Robotaxi in Dallas09:01 Cybercab Wait Times, Pickups and Routing in Austin12:10 Austin Robotaxi Depots13:45 Avride's Austin Depot16:02 Zoox's Dallas Depot17:22 May Mobility in Arlington20:17 Kodiak Targets Driver-Out on Dallas to Houston by Year-End24:19 Avride in Dallas and the Uber Partner Math26:46 Hyundai Is the Quiet Winner in Robotaxis27:30 Walt Amends His View on Upfitting30:57 Tesla's Vertical Integration and Supercharger Advantage33:06 Aurora Investor Day and the 1,000 Truck Target40:22 President Xi's Visit and a Wake-Up Call for Detroit47:01 Foreign Autonomy Desk49:33 Next Week
Mattias Fridström is joined by Doug Madory, Director of Internet Analysis at Infoblox, for a deep dive into how the Internet has evolved over the past 15 years, the realities behind AI-driven traffic growth, and why trust and security remain central to the Internet ecosystem.In this episode, they discuss:How the Internet has evolved from the early cloud era to today's world of hyperscalers, embedded caches, and highly efficient traffic deliveryThe role of peering and transit in keeping the global Internet connected and economically sustainableWhy today's Internet is more resilient and stable than ever, thanks to improvements in routing hygiene and securityThe ongoing challenge of protecting the Internet from both accidental routing mistakes and determined adversariesWhy AI is creating new security concerns, even as fears of AI overwhelming Internet capacity may be overstatedWhat AI-driven infrastructure means for network operators, cloud providers, and emerging AI-focused "neo clouds"
"To jest świetne, że load balancer nie load balansuje."
In this episode, Jerry discusses key insights on delegating to agentic tools while maintaining high levels of engineering ownership with Ozzie Osman, co-founder @ Monarch. Ozzie shares what it looks to pursue two paths when it comes to AI: agentic-forward and human-orchestrated pipelines. They also cover the specific AI tools that are used in Monarch, including Devin and Voltron; assigning tasks to be AI-first vs. human-led; determining which pieces of customer feedback lead to new features; and common challenges when it comes to AI-generated code and what the human review process for it looks like. ABOUT OZZIE OSMANOsman (Ozzie) Osman is co-founder of Monarch. He is the lead author of the Holloway Guide to Technical Recruiting and Hiring. He has built products and engineering teams at companies including Quora and Google. Ozzie has also started two companies that have been acquired, and advised dozens of other startups. Sinch is the communications infrastructure the AI era runs on.There's a layer of infrastructure behind every text, call, and login code your product sends, and it works exactly like plumbing: nobody thinks about it until it's the reason something broke.Most providers route through 4-6 intermediaries; Sinch connects in 1-2 hops, direct carrier relationships across 600+ connections, handling 900 billion interactions a year across 60+ countries.Routing, compliance, fraud prevention handled automatically rather than manually managed by the business sending the message!Sinch is the reliability layer underneath AI-driven customer communications; the infrastructure that determines whether an AI agent's output actually reaches a real person as a delivered text, connected call, or verified interaction.Check it out here!

Wie baut man ein hybrides Tonstudio sinnvoll auf? Und wann lohnt es sich überhaupt, Audiosignale aus der DAW in analoges Outboard und wieder zurück zu schicken?In dieser Studiosofa-Folge ist Jan Kalt, Produzent, Mixing Engineer und Betreiber des Tonstudios Schraubfabrik zu Gast. Jan nimmt uns mit in seinen Workflow zwischen DAW, analoger Studiotechnik, externen Synthesizern und Modularsystemen.Es geht ganz konkret um die Bausteine eines Hybrid-Studios: Audio-Interfaces und ausreichend Ein- und Ausgänge, die Integration von Kompressoren und EQs, Routing in der DAW, Latenz, Gain-Staging und Total Recall. Außerdem erklärt Jan, wann eine Patchbay sinnvoll ist, was fest verkabelt bleiben kann und wie sich externe Geräte flexibel in den Mix einbinden lassen.Jan erzählt auch, warum er meist mit wenigen Plug-ins pro Chain arbeitet, wie seine Vocal-Produktionen entstehen und warum Hybrid-Setups nicht zwingend ein großes Mischpult oder ein riesiges Budget erfordern.Eine Folge für alle, die ihr Homestudio erweitern, Hardware sinnvoll einsetzen und ihren Mixing-Workflow besser organisieren möchten.Gear CornerAudient Horizon: https://tidd.ly/4h06DQQNeumann KH 310 II L: https://tidd.ly/4hgsh1XNeumann KH 310 II R: https://tidd.ly/4xrTtkcNeumann KH 350: https://tidd.ly/4h9sILzArturia Audio Fuse Studio Rev 2: https://tidd.ly/4yHNokSSSL Solid State Logic The Bus+: https://tidd.ly/4rjECqORME Fireface UCX II Audio Interface: https://tidd.ly/4rqBbi3RME Fireface UFX III Audio Interface: https://tidd.ly/4izxIeQSound&Recording-Magazin | Studiosofa PodcastMusic Store Shopping: https://tidd.ly/4vH53rOWebsite: soundandrecording-magazin.deWebinare: soundandrecording-magazin.de/webinareCoachings: soundandrecording-magazin.de/coachingsWhatsApp-Gruppe: soundandrecording-magazin.de/whatsappInstagram: @soundandrecording.magazinYouTube: @StudiosofaPodcastTikTok: @soundandrecording.mag

AI PCB routing only works when the tool understands your design intent, and in this OnTrack Podcast episode Zach Peterson sits down with Alain-Sam Cohen and Nabil Chouba of InstaDeep's DeepPCB to find out what that actually takes. They explain why classic autorouters fail on configuration rather than on routing, how a reinforcement-learning routing engine paired with Cooper, a natural-language orchestrator, detects net classes, decoupling caps, reference planes, and USB impedance problems before a single trace is drawn, and where LLM-driven PCB-as-code tools fit alongside placement and routing. Then they open one of Zach's own boards live, let Cooper flag what the design file left unspecified, and compare it with a run they let converge before the show. If you've watched a one-line AI prompt produce an epic hardware fail, this is the case for task-based AI in PCB design and the design knowledge you still need to bring to it.
Endlich wieder Aufnahmetag, die Themen stapeln sich schon! Sylvester und Christopher nutzen den Warntag, um vor allerlei Sicherheitsproblemen zu warnen. Den Auftakt macht diverser Kleinkram rund um Certificate Transparency und dann geht der Blick in die Bundeshauptstadt. Wie die Ransomware-Gangster von Rhysida ins Netz zweier Berliner Senatsverwaltungen kamen und was Steganografie damit zu tun hat, erklärt Christopher. Der darf sich wiederum später erklären lassen, welche Tricks Angreifer im Routingsystem ausnutzen, um Schadsoftware zu verbreiten und - obligatorisches KI-Thema -, wie ein findiger Sicherheitsforscher Claude Code Malware unterschob. Außerdem üben die Hosts sich in der Kunst der Reduktion (ja, wirklich!): Sie dampfen einen Blogeintrag mit 100 Kilobyte Text zur kompakten 40-Minuten-Erzählung ein. Thema: Eine sehr elegante Exploitkette auf menschenähnlichen Robotern der Firma Unitree.

TestTalks | Automation Awesomeness | Helping YOU Succeed with Test Automation
Everything you knew about performance testing changes when the system you're testing is non deterministic. In this episode of the TestGuild Automation Podcast, Joe Colantonio sits down with Kandasamy Selvaraj, Principal Architect and author of the free book Rethinking Performance Engineering for Agentic AI, to unpack what it really takes to move an AI agent from a working demo to an enterprise system handling millions of conversations per hour. Checkout his free book: https://leanpub.com/agentic-ai-performance Kandasamy shares the practical playbook he's built running agentic AI in production, including why the same request can take three seconds one run and eight seconds the next, how to use harnesses to bound tool calls, reasoning loops, and token budgets, and why your SRE dashboard can look perfectly healthy while your token costs quietly balloon to five times baseline. You'll learn how his team: Shifts performance gates left into every commit with JMeter Shifts right with synthetic monitors on blue green deployments Uses Langfuse and OpenTelemetry to spot context bloat before it hits production. You'll also hear how to: Slash AI costs with prompt caching Conversation capping Routing simple queries to cheaper models Why you should load test at the API layer before touching the UI, How to keep stubs honest with production sampled latency Why one misbehaving agent can starve every other agent sharing the same provider. If you're a tester, performance engineer, SRE, or architect building on LLMs, this conversation will change how you think about scale.

Ever since he first received his first bitcoin in 2013, Joël Valenzuela has been on a quest to use free market electronic cash to pay for everything. Today, he is still unbanked and looking for ways to make instant payments without a bank account. He is best known for working for the DASH cryptocurrency project. But over the years, he's collaborated with plenty of other projects (mostly those related with private payments) and he possesses a wealth of knowledge in terms of adoption, everyday use as money, and user experience. Since Joël practices what he preaches and lives without fiat or banks, he is a bona fide advocate of inconvenience: using ATMs, purchasing gift cards, and trying every workaround that helps him accomplish the mission of never using fiat currencies. 00:00:00 Intro & sponsors: living without banks with Joël Valenzuela 00:02:18 The Vlad Costea handle saga & paying X to keep your name 00:04:20 Where the "Desert Lynx" name actually comes from 00:09:04 Joël's origin story: how Peter Schiff led him to Bitcoin 00:10:16 Growing up on the border & the Mexican peso crisis 00:12:16 First Bitcoin: the Chicago pizza payback of 2013 00:14:27 Silk Road's shutdown & the chaos of the Mt.

As governments weigh new restrictions on frontier AI models, one question is becoming increasingly important: what role should open source play in the future of artificial intelligence? Theo Jaffee and Sofia Puccini speak with Hugging Face CEO Clément Delangue about AI regulation, open source safety, model routing, and why he believes competition—not consolidation—is essential for the industry's future. They discuss GPT-5, government oversight of frontier models, Hugging Face surpassing $100 million in annual recurring revenue, local AI, China's open-source ecosystem, Europe's AI ambitions, and why routing workloads across specialized models could fundamentally reshape where value is created in AI.

Dr. Beckett compares going to Disney World with attending The National sports card show, drawing on trips to Disneyland and Disney World from the 1960s to the 1990s and his long history of attending The National, including taking his family in 1990. With an extended-family Disney World trip planned for early next year, he discusses shared challenges like long days on your feet, routing, and dislike of lines, and contrasts how Disney is typically more expensive while The National involves spending on items with tradeable value. He notes differences in solitude, age-appropriate activities, and family logistics, and suggests The National could learn from Disney's crowd flow, cleanliness, signage, and food options. He concludes neither is “better,” emphasizing being fully present wherever you are and encouraging people to attend both if possible. 00:23 Disney vs The National 01:40 Trips and Family Plans 02:25 Lines and Fast Passes 03:57 Cost Comparison 04:43 All In on the Destination 06:49 Routing and Park Strategy 08:17 Social Dynamics and Community 10:50 Free Agent vs Family Focus 11:43 Physical Demands and Gear 12:58 What Shows Can Learn 14:28 Be Present and Enjoy

This AI:AM highlights cut brings together Cameron Berg, David Duvenaud, Michiel Bakker, Shawn “swyx” Wang, and Bing Xu to examine what we understand about frontier AI systems and what happens as more decisions move into their hands. Berg grounds model-consciousness debates in experiments on architecture, agency, valence, and welfare, while Duvenaud argues that even well-aligned AI could gradually disempower humans through ordinary economic choices. Bakker frames Europe's AI challenge as a sovereignty problem, and swyx turns to practitioner stakes around agents, evals, maintainable code, and who owns the system of record. Xu closes the loop at the infrastructure layer, arguing that self-improving compute and GPU-kernel automation may deepen rather than weaken the CUDA moat.
