It's an all new That Real Blind Tech Show, and a different kind of episode as Allison, Brian, and Jeanine get together for a Special Report on VibeCoding. What's the old saying? If you can't beat them, join them.   We kick the conversation off discussing when we first learned about VibeCoding.   We discuss our first experiences with VibeCoding when we sat down at the computer and typed that first prompt to Claude.   We go in to the difference between a chat and a project on Claude, and why you may choose to use a project.   We then discuss issues we have had when working on a project and how we got around the issues.   We then dive in to some of the projects we are working on and some of the upcoming projects we would like to begin working on. Don't steal our ideas, unless they will turn out better than our ideas!   And off of our ideas we give you breaking news of a possible new website page coming to you pretty soon.   And like anything worth doing we then discuss the possibility of people stealing or copying your ideas and trying to make something you create their own.   And because if That Real Blind Tech show is one thing, it is educational, face falling on the floor laughing emoji, but we do talk about what we have learned since we started VibeCoding.   We then answer the question can anyone quickly get started with VibeCoding.     And of course with anything now a days, we dive in to the possible dangers of VibeCoding.   We then venture in to how Allison built an app for iOS and tested it on her phone.   To contact That Real Blind Tech Show, you can email us at ThatRealBlindTechShow@gmail.com, join our Facebook Group That Real Blind Tech Show, join us on the Twitter @BlindTechShow

Mike talks with filmmaker Kimi Takesue, whose work — spanning documentary, fiction, and experimental forms — is now collected on the Criterion Channel. Takesue grew up shuttling between Honolulu and Massachusetts, and that cross-cultural, biracial upbringing informs every frame she has made, from early shorts rooted in identity politics to acclaimed features documenting cross-cultural encounters in Uganda, Laos, and Hawaiʻi.Her films, including Where Are You Taking Me?, 95 and 6 to Go, and Onlookers, examine those encounters through an observational lens, tracing the power dynamics and unspoken tensions that emerge when tourists and locals share the same unequal terrain. Takesue discusses her practice of traveling without research or agenda, letting one thing unfold into the next, and how a devastating failed fiction project directly led to the making of Where Are You Taking Me? She also talks about the rhythm and formalism of Onlookers, the tension between aestheticizing beauty and critiquing the tourist gaze, the influences she only fully embraced later in her career, and her current work-in-progress following tour guides at Cambodian atrocity sites.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth

In this special EMS One-Stop update, Rob Lawrence is joined by returning guest Dr. Alex Isakov to break down the rapidly developing Andes Hantavirus outbreak linked to the expedition cruise ship MV Hondius.

He also serves as EMS lead for the National Emerging Special Pathogens Training and Education Center (NETEC), where he helps lead national preparedness efforts for high-consequence infectious diseases. In the episode, he explains how Andes Hantavirus differs from other hantaviruses already present in North America because it is capable of person-to-person transmission in limited circumstances.

Listeners are also directed toward the excellent educational resource hub on preparedness and response available through NETEC Hantavirus Resources.

President Donald Trump on Monday indicated he would reduce the federal gasoline tax to provide relief at the pump amid high fuel prices caused by the military operation in Iran. He added the suspension would be in place "till it's appropriate."Sixteen U.S. citizens repatriated from the hantavirus-hit cruise ship are being quarantined at a medical facility in Omaha, Nebraska, with two more at another facility in Atlanta, Georgia.

Newt talks with Bret Baier, Chief Political Anchor of Fox News Channel and the anchor and executive editor of Special Report with Bret Baier, about his new book, “The Case for America: An Argument on Behalf of Our Nation.” Baier makes the case that the United States remains resilient and exceptional despite its flaws. He draws heavily on six presidents, George Washington, Ulysses S. Grant, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, and Ronald Reagan, to describe American resilience, leadership, and optimism. He argues that the Declaration of Independence was a courageous, high-risk act that defined the nation’s core truths: choosing unity despite dissent, serving as a beacon of freedom, demonstrating a unique capacity for resilience, and remaining a land of opportunity. Their discussion extends to the founders’ disagreements, the risk they faced in signing the Declaration, and the evolution of American political rivalry and reconciliation, exemplified by the bitter split and later warm correspondence between John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. Turning to contemporary politics, Baier contends that the upcoming America 250th celebration offers a chance to rebuild shared civic affection across ideological lines by acknowledging both the country’s problems and its strengths.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As America approaches its 250th anniversary, Special Report host Bret Baier joins Brian Kilmeade to discuss his new book "The Case for America." From the brutal rivalry of Adams and Jefferson to the resilience of Condoleezza Rice in the Jim Crow South, Bret explains why our history of partisanship isn't new—and why our nation is still worth fighting for.

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! In part 2 of the originally Patreon-exclusive weekly coverage of season 2 of AppleTV+'s Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, the show's valleys start manifesting—but this stretch episodes also includes Godzilla.
