Electrification is surging, AI data centres are multiplying, and volatility is rising on both sides of the meter. Can storage step in as the flexible backbone the US grid now needs? Host Sylvia Leyva Martinez is joined by Joanna Martin Ziegenfuss, General Manager for Strategic Market Development (North America), and Ruchira Shah, General Manager of Software Product Management at Wärtsilä Energy Storage. Together they unpack how high-performance hardware paired with sophisticated control software delivers real-time flexibility, from synthetic inertia and fast frequency response to price arbitrage and microgrid operation. The conversation tracks the shift from treating storage as a bolt-on to renewables to viewing it as a core reliability asset. Sylvia, Joanna and Ruchi explore how AI-driven load growth and volatile demand profiles change planning assumptions; why interconnection queues are pushing some data centres toward on-site generation plus batteries; and how market rules and policy must evolve to reward flexibility and sub-second response. They also dig into software's role in future-proofing assets as grid requirements tighten, and where innovators are already meeting new performance thresholds.If you're navigating project economics, market design or grid operations in a fast-changing landscape, this episode offers a pragmatic look at what's working, what's missing, and why storage is set to anchor a resilient, decarbonised grid. This episode is brought to you by Wärtsilä Energy Storage – Wärtsilä delivers high performing, large-scale energy storage systems by combining sophisticated software, robust safety, and long‑term reliability—empowering utility, IPP, and data center customers to maximize energy value and investment returns.

10/31/25: GHOSTING IN THE FAR FRIGHT LANE W/ ANTHONY F. SANCHEZ Throughout history, we have had a preoccupation with contacting entities behind the etheric veil. Today, we have advanced technologies that can pierce into ghostly dimensions with great accuracy. This phenomenon, known as Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP) has sparked a movement of paranormal investigators who believe they can capture spirit voices using various recording devices. The electronic world seems to be manipulated by the ghosts in the machine. Through our insatiable desire to communicate with those on the other side, we can hear the vocal expressions of the dead. Our guest tonight is Software developer Anthony F. Sanchez, who has developed a state-of-the-art ghost app - The SCD Archon. https://ghosthunterapps.com/ Listen to Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis M-F from 7-10 pm, pacific time on groundzeroplus.com.

In this episode, I sit down in Tallinn with Madis Võõras, Head of the Estonian Space Office at Enterprise Estonia, to unpack how Estonia is carving out a real role in the European space sector through brains, code, and smart partnerships. Madis explains how his team connects Estonian companies with the European Space Agency, brings public investment back into the local economy, and uses space projects as a launchpad for globally competitive products and services. He shares why Estonia's sweet spot is software, how the country's digital public infrastructure became a reference point for European programs, and why the next wave of value will come from data, cybersecurity, and rapid deployment rather than rockets alone. We also talk about what it takes to build a space economy in a market of 1.3 million people. Madis walks through lessons from early contracts, the rise of an Earth observation data hub, and a business incubator that has already helped dozens of founders move from idea to revenue. He is candid about the gaps too, including the need for more hardware depth and the reality that international cooperation is the fastest route to scale. From optical communications between Tallinn and Helsinki to the practical use of AI inside satellite programs, you will hear a pragmatic roadmap rather than hype. If you want a grounded look at how space policy meets startup grit, and why collaboration with the European Space Agency is a catalyst rather than a finish line, this conversation is for you. What should Estonia prioritize next to punch above its weight in the global space economy, and where do you see the biggest opportunities for software and AI in space services? Share your thoughts and join the discussion.

"The Wizard and the Prophet" by Charles C. MannRhishi Pethe's "Software is Feeding the World" Newsletter "In 1968, the year a USAID official coined the term 'Green Revolution', Norman Borlaug gave a victory lap speech at a wheat meeting in Australia. Twenty years before, he said, Mexican farmers had reaped about 760 pounds of wheat from every acre planted. Now that figure had risen to almost 2,500 pounds per acre, triple the harvest from the same land. The same thing was happening in India. He said the first green revolution wheat had been tested there just in 1964-1965 growing season. It had been so successful that the government had tested it on 7,000 acres the next year, and now it was covering almost 7 million acres. The same thing was happening in Pakistan, and this didn't even count the Green Revolution rice, also short and disease resistant, which was spreading across Asia." That is an excerpt from the book we'll be talking about here today. "The Wizard and the Prophet" by Charles C. Mann. The subtitle is "two remarkable scientists and they're dueling visions to shape tomorrow's world." One of those scientists, "the wizard", was Norman Borlaug: the father of the green revolution. Today's episode focuses on Borlaug's life and contributions to improving crop productivity in some of the most impoverished areas of the world. This episode is co-hosted by Tim Hammerich and Rhishi Pethe.

The discussion covers what's available at each subscription level and practical tips for navigating the new interface while these agents continue to evolve.SponsorsKeeper - https://uqb.promo/keeperDigits - https://uqb.promo/digits(00:00) - Introduction and Hosts (02:19) - Discussing AI in QuickBooks Online (07:16) - Exploring QuickBooks AI Agents (08:20) - Accounting Agent Deep Dive (25:37) - Bank Reconciliation Enhancements (35:36) - Payments Agent Overview (36:47) - Leveraging Customer Insights for Better Invoicing (37:24) - Maximizing Cash Flow with Late Fees and Reminders (38:09) - Personal Experiences with Payment Agents (50:31) - Finance Agent Overview (01:00:52) - New Navigation Tips and Tricks (01:03:58) - Upcoming Classes and Events LINKSDan's AI Agents Article: https://www.schoolofbookkeeping.com/blog/QBOAIAgentsAccounting Agents Toolkit: https://digitalasset.intuit.com/render/content/dam/intuit/sbsegcs/en_us/quickbooks-online-accountant/documents/Accountants-Toolkit-FY25.pdf?cid=dig_fus_mof_fotf_qbo_na_inlk_testid_eng_us Firm of the Future ArticlesAgentic AI: https://www.firmofthefuture.com/product-update/quickbooks-innovation-agentic-ai-2025/ Accounting Agent: https://www.firmofthefuture.com/product-update/closer-look-at-quickbooks-bank-feed-and-accounting-agent/Accounting Agent Anomaly Detectionhttps://www.firmofthefuture.com/artificial-intelligence/quickbooks-anomaly-detection/Payments Agent: https://www.firmofthefuture.com/quickbooks-proadvisor/in-the-know-s4-e7-payments-agent/Customer Agent: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/help-article/intuit-assist/get-started-customer-agent/L6KtREjm9_US_en_USFinance Agent: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/help-article/intuit-assist/get-started-finance-agent/L0g3aJO6W_US_en_US Dan and Alicia's Passive-Agressive Income Course in November: https://www.schoolofbookkeeping.com/a/2148177904/FzeLMxRp, Use code OWL25 for 25% offAlicia's classes including the Accounting Agents:New Bank Transactions Feed Class: http://royl.ws/QuickBooks-Online-Banking?affiliate=5393907Reconciling in QBO Class: http://royl.ws/Reconciling-In-QBO?affiliate=5393907Alicia's Upcoming Classes:Products, Services, and Inventory, Nov 18: http://royl.ws/qbo-Inventory?affiliate=5393907QB Payments Merchant Services, Nov 25: http://royl.ws/QB-Payments-Course?affiliate=5393907Dan's AI Agents Article: https://www.schoolofbookkeeping.com/blog/QBOAIAgentshttps://www.schoolofbookkeeping.com/ Schoolofbookkeeping YouTube: https://snip.ly/SOBYT Free Live Workshop Wednesdays: https://www.schoolofbookkeeping.com/workshop-wednesday We want to hear from you!Send your questions and comments to us at unofficialquickbookspodcast@gmail.com.Join our LinkedIn community at https://www.linkedin.com/groups/14630719/Visit our YouTube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/@UnofficialQuickBooksPodcast?sub_confirmation=1 Sign up to Earmark to earn free CPE for listening to this podcasthttps://www.earmark.app/onboarding 

In this episode, Patrick McKenzie reads his essay about the financial infrastructure that makes buying windows painless. When a window installer can originate, underwrite, and fund a $25,000 loan in 15 minutes before leaving your house, it's because four parties—window companies, facilitating platforms, specialized banks, and capital providers—have built a system that actually works. Patrick explains how modern consumer lending learned from 2008 to create better underwriting, clearer compliance, and properly distributed risk, all in service of enabling commerce in the real economy.–Full transcript available here: www.complexsystemspodcast.com/home-improvement-lending/–Sponsor: MercuryThis episode is brought to you by Mercury, the fintech trusted by 200K+ companies — from first milestones to running complex systems.

Iain Thomas is a poet, author, and the Chief Innovation Officer at Sounds Fun—an advertising and creative agency that he co-founded with the belief that human creativity could be enhanced, rather than diminished, with the help of AI. It's a realization that actually began to dawn on Iain a few years prior, after his mother died. He wasn't sure how to explain death to his children, so he turned to an early version of ChatGPT for help—and was so impressed by the poetry of its responses that he came away convinced of AI's immense potential as a thought partner for his creative work. On this episode, Iain talks about using AI to make more space for the creative parts of your work, and why, in a world where everyone has access to the same tools, it's never been more important to lean into the skills, context, and experiences that make each of us most unique—and most human.Learn more about Sounds Fun soundsfun.co~ ~ ~Working Smarter is brought to you by Dropbox Dash—the AI universal search and knowledge management tool from Dropbox.

In this episode of Building Better Foundations on the Building Better Developers podcast, hosts Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche explore one of today's fastest-growing software trends—vibe coding. Vibe coding blends human creativity with artificial intelligence, allowing developers to describe what they need and let AI generate code in real time. It's a revolutionary idea that promises speed, flexibility, and innovation—but it also raises new questions about structure, consistency, and long-term maintainability. What Exactly Is Vibe Coding? At its core, vibe coding means coding collaboratively with AI. Developers outline the functionality, design, and structure they want, while AI produces the initial code and suggestions. This makes it ideal for rapid prototyping and minimum viable products (MVPs)—helping teams turn ideas into functioning apps in record time. "You're using AI to generate some code and basically allowing AI to code as you go," Rob explains. The catch? Without solid foundations and thoughtful architecture, the speed of AI-generated code can create technical debt—making long-term projects harder to maintain or scale. Using AI as a Junior Developer Rob compares vibe coding to collaborating with a junior or mid-level developer: capable and fast, but in need of clear direction. "If you define your architecture, style, and structure clearly," he says, "AI can build pages and components that fit your system." The best results come from specific, incremental prompts. Instead of asking for an entire app, start small—perhaps a single navigation bar or form layout—and refine from there. Each small win compounds into a solid, scalable solution. From User Stories to Smart Code Michael takes the discussion further, explaining how test-driven development (TDD) and user stories make vibe coding more reliable and efficient. "If you walk AI through the user story—'as a user, I need to log in'—you'll get a better, more useful result," he says. Start by asking AI to write a test case for your feature. Once that test passes, ask it to generate the code. This simple adjustment keeps AI aligned with real-world behavior and helps non-coders understand how requirements become working software. 5 Pro Tips for Smarter Vibe Coding Be Specific: Define frameworks, styling, and goals in your prompts. Start Small: Break your requests into clear, focused tasks. Iterate Often: Review, test, and refine AI output continuously. Think in Tests: Use user stories and TDD to guide quality. Validate Needs: Confirm requirements before coding begins. Avoiding the Trap of Confirmation Bias Michael also warns against confirmation bias—believing AI's output simply because it sounds right. "AI can tell you what you think you need, not what you actually need," he cautions. To stay grounded, developers should regularly check with clients or end users to confirm that AI-generated solutions align with real requirements. AI is a tool, not a truth engine. From Prototype to Production While vibe coding is perfect for prototypes, Rob reminds listeners that production-ready systems still need human craftsmanship. Clean architecture, maintainable code, and performance tuning remain crucial for success. AI can accelerate development—but it's still the developer's job to ensure that the final product is secure, scalable, and sustainable. Final Thoughts on Vibe Coding Vibe coding represents a major shift in how developers think about building software. Used wisely, it enhances creativity, speeds up delivery, and reduces repetitive tasks. Used carelessly, it can create chaos and confusion. As Rob and Michael emphasize, the secret lies in balance: human insight plus AI efficiency. Together, they form the foundation for faster, smarter, and better software.

Building a UI in Python usually means choosing between "quick and limited" or "powerful and painful." What if you could write modern, component-based web apps in pure Python and still keep full control? NiceGUI, pronounced "Nice Guy" sits on FastAPI with a Vue/Quasar front end, gives you real components, live updates over websockets, and it's running in production at Zauberzeug, a German robotic company. On this episode, I'm talking with NiceGUI's creators, Rodja Trappe and Falko Schindler, about how it works, where it shines, and what's coming next. With version 3.0 releasing around the same time this episode comes out, we spend the end of the episode celebrating the 3.0 release.

Michael #1: Cyclopts: A CLI library A CLI library that fixes 13 annoying issues in Typer Much of Cyclopts was inspired by the excellent Typer library. Despite its popularity, Typer has some traits that I (and others) find less than ideal. Part of this stems from Typer's age, with its first release in late 2019, soon after Python 3.8's release. Because of this, most of its API was initially designed around assigning proxy default values to function parameters. This made the decorated command functions difficult to use outside of Typer. With the introduction of Annotated in python3.9, type-hints were able to be directly annotated, allowing for the removal of these proxy defaults. The 13: Argument vs Option Positional or Keyword Arguments Choices Default Command Docstring Parsing Decorator Parentheses Optional Lists Keyword Multiple Values Flag Negation Help Defaults Validation Union/Optional Support Adding a Version Flag Documentation Brian #2: The future of Python web services looks GIL-free Giovanni Barillari “Python 3.14 was released at the beginning of the month. This release was particularly interesting to me because of the improvements on the "free-threaded" variant of the interpreter. Specifically, the two major changes when compared to the free-threaded variant of Python 3.13 are: Free-threaded support now reached phase II, meaning it's no longer considered experimental The implementation is now completed, meaning that the workarounds introduced in Python 3.13 to make code sound without the GIL are now gone, and the free-threaded implementation now uses the adaptive interpreter as the GIL enabled variant. These facts, plus additional optimizations make the performance penalty now way better, moving from a 35% penalty to a 5-10% difference.” Lots of benchmark data, both ASGI and WSGI Lots of great thoughts in the “Final Thoughts” section, including “On asynchronous protocols like ASGI, despite the fact the concurrency model doesn't change that much – we shift from one event loop per process, to one event loop per thread – just the fact we no longer need to scale memory allocations just to use more CPU is a massive improvement. ” “… for everybody out there coding a web application in Python: simplifying the concurrency paradigms and the deployment process of such applications is a good thing.” “… to me the future of Python web services looks GIL-free.” Michael #3: Free-threaded GC The free-threaded build of Python uses a different garbage collector implementation than the default GIL-enabled build. The Default GC: In the standard CPython build, every object that supports garbage collection (like lists or dictionaries) is part of a per-interpreter, doubly-linked list. The list pointers are contained in a PyGC_Head structure. The Free-Threaded GC: Takes a different approach. It scraps the PyGC_Head structure and the linked list entirely. Instead, it allocates these objects from a special memory heap managed by the "mimalloc" library. This allows the GC to find and iterate over all collectible objects using mimalloc's data structures, without needing to link them together manually. The free-threaded GC does NOT support "generations” By marking all objects reachable from these known roots, we can identify a large set of objects that are definitely alive and exclude them from the more expensive cycle-finding part of the GC process. Overall speedup of the free-threaded GC collection is between 2 and 12 times faster than the 3.13 version. Brian #4: Polite lazy imports for Python package maintainers Will McGugan commented on a LI post by Bob Belderbos regarding lazy importing “I'm excited about this PEP. I wrote a lazy loading mechanism for Textual's widgets. Without it, the entire widget library would be imported even if you needed just one widget. Having this as a core language feature would make me very happy.” https://github.com/Textualize/textual/blob/main/src/textual/widgets/__init__.py Well, I was excited about Will's example for how to, essentially, allow users of your package to import only the part they need, when they need it. So I wrote up my thoughts and an explainer for how this works. Special thanks to Trey Hunner's Every dunder method in Python, which I referenced to understand the difference between __getattr__() and __getattribute__(). Extras Brian: Started writing a book on Test Driven Development. Should have an announcement in a week or so. I want to give folks access while I'm writing it, so I'll be opening it up for early access as soon as I have 2-3 chapters ready to review.
