Today GoogleDeepMind released AlphaEvolve: a Gemini coding agent for algorithm discovery. It beat the famous Strassen algorithm for matrix multiplication set 56 years ago. Google has been killing it recently. We had early access to the paper and interviewed the researchers behind the work.AlphaEvolve: A Gemini-powered coding agent for designing advanced algorithmshttps://deepmind.google/discover/blog/alphaevolve-a-gemini-powered-coding-agent-for-designing-advanced-algorithms/Authors: Alexander Novikov*, Ngân Vũ*, Marvin Eisenberger*, Emilien Dupont*, Po-Sen Huang*, Adam Zsolt Wagner*, Sergey Shirobokov*, Borislav Kozlovskii*, Francisco J.

They are hiring a Chief Engineer and ML engineers. Events in Zurich. Goto https://tufalabs.ai/***AlphaEvolve works like a very smart, tireless programmer. It uses powerful AI language models (like Gemini) to generate ideas for computer code. Then, it uses an "evolutionary" process – like survival of the fittest for programs. It tries out many different program ideas, automatically tests how well they solve a problem, and then uses the best ones to inspire new, even better programs.Beyond this mathematical breakthrough, AlphaEvolve has already been used to improve real-world systems at Google, such as making their massive data centers run more efficiently and even speeding up the training of the AI models that power AlphaEvolve itself. The discussion also covers how humans work with AlphaEvolve, the challenges of making AI discover things, and the exciting future of AI helping scientists make new discoveries.In short, AlphaEvolve is a powerful new AI tool that can invent new algorithms and solve complex problems, showing how AI can be a creative partner in science and engineering.Guests:Matej Balog: https://x.com/matejbalogAlexander Novikov: https://x.com/SashaVNovikovREFS:MAP Elites [Jean-Baptiste Mouret, Jeff Clune]https://arxiv.org/abs/1504.04909FunSearch [Bernardino Romera-Paredes, Mohammadamin Barekatain, Alexander Novikov, Matej Balog, M.

When publicly traded companies release their financial results, the most interesting aspect of the conference calls have little to do with the numbers themselves and everything to do with trends across the market.Luis Avila, a managing director in BDO's technology and transformation practice, joins our Ross Wilkers for this episode that is also a note-swapping exercise of sorts. Both listened to the most recent round of GovCon investor calls in their respective roles of research and analysis, plus journalism.The Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency, the race to technology superiority, supply chain health and wealth, and new entrants all were themes of those calls and feature in the conversation between Luis and Ross.Keep in mind throughout their conversation that government contractors have their own unique approach to transparency, given their customers have publicly available budgets and policy documents.Parsons explores 2 growth pathways for missile defenseLeidos eyes missile defense, border security tech as growth avenuesMaximus CEO sees tech modernization as opportunity in Trump's efficiency pushHow the CEOs of Booz Allen, L3Harris view DOGE's visionCACI's CEO weighs in on efficiency and acquisitionLockheed's CEO: Efficiency push is 'an opportunity' for both industry and government
Writer and activist Shane Claiborne calls out the hypocrisy within fundamentalist Evangelical Christianity in America, advocating for a return to the radical compassion of Jesus.Shane challenges what it means to truly be "pro-life," challenges its entanglement with Christian nationalism, and its allegiance to Donald Trump. As he unpacks these priorities, he wrestles with what to keep, what to challenge, and what bones to "spit out” along the way.

In this episode, Kim sits down with Horace Gold, a multi-hyphenate artist and actor, for a long-overdue reminder: you don't need therapy; you need to stop lying. As a social experiment, Horace would like everyone to take a deep breath, tone down the “main character” theatrics, and recognize that you're not a victim—it's not about you. Kim and Horace share a mutual disdain for moral superiority and performative activism. For the record, you're not “cool” because you learned about the latest tragedy before everyone else. Their advice? Organize a town hall or STFU. From conservative roots to liberal new beginnings, Horace reflects on the perfect storm that freed him from a dark future as a MAGA boy. Kim's biggest takeaway? Believe it or not, everyone thinks they're on the right side of history.Follow Horace - IG & TIKTOKListen to Hardly Qualified Podcast - APPLE & SPOTIFYWatch Hardly Qualified Podcast - HERERead The "Triple Package" by Amy Chua - HERESubmit Your Confessions - HERELET'S BE FRIENDS...STEP 1 : Give us a 5-STAR reviewSTEP 2: Follow RLBG on Instagram - HERESTEP 3: Join the RLBG Community for access to exclusive events & LIVE girl talks - HERESTEP 4: Follow the International Pop Star "SlimKim" on TIKTOK & INSTAGRAM
Have you ever noticed that we church people tend to be blind to our own spiritual deficiencies? Even at GraceLife where we want to love one another, we’re constantly judging each other without even realizing it. Confident in our own superiority, we pass moral, cultural, and political judgment on others without hesitation. We gossip, lash out with passive aggression, and unleash self-righteous social media rants over society’s latest controversies. What if the very thing you’re most confident in—your supposed superiority—is the very thing that condemns you? Are you really so sure that, while you admit you’re not perfect, you’ve got this part all figured out? Having a false sense of superiority or security in any area of life is a very dangerous spiritual place to be. It blinds us to our need for grace, keeps us from examining our own hearts, and leads us further from the truth. We are all in the same boat together. Any “superiority” over anyone else in any area is a false sense of spiritual security. This isn’t about pointing fingers but facing truth together, finding real security in the life-changing grace of the Gospel.
Feelings of superiority often lead to broken relationships. The first step to recovery from the "I'm superior" personality is to admit you're human. No one is perfect.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/lovelanguageminuteSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

N Engl J Med 2010;362:1663-74.Background: The RAVEL and TAXUS-IV trials compared the sirolimus- and paclitaxel-eluting 2nd generation stents to 1st generation bare metal stents. Both trials reported improvements in surrogate endpoints - “in-stent luminal loss” was the primary endpoint of RAVEL and “ischemia-driven target-vessel revascularization” was the primary endpoint of TAXUS-IV. Neither trial showed differences in hard endpoints like death or MI but were not powered for such events.The observation that restenosis still occurred with 2nd generation stents drove interest in developing newer stent technology with improved bioavailability and drug delivery. The 3rd generation everolimus-eluting stent was felt to represent such a development but like its predecessors had only been tested in experiments using surrogate endpoints that were not driven by clinical symptoms. Thus, the SPIRIT IV trial sought to test the hypothesis that 3rd generation everolimus-eluting stents would reduce patient-driven clinical outcomes compared 2nd generation paclitaxel-eluting stents. Furthermore, it was designed to be large enough to provide data on important subgroups, especially patients with diabetes.Patients: Limited details are provided about inclusion and exclusion criteria in the main manuscript and readers are directed to a previous publication and supplemental appendix. Lesion characteristics had to be less than 28 mm in length with a reference-vessel diameter between 2.5 to 3.75 mm. Patients were excluded if they had features making them complex from either a clinical or angiographic standpoint. *Note to learners: Be especially skeptical of trials that do not include at least an abridged version of important inclusion and exclusion criteria in the main publication manuscript. This often indicates that the criteria are complex and that patients are highly selected, which limits the generalizability of the findings to routine practice. Baseline characteristics: The average age of patients was 63 years and 68% were men. Approximately 32% of patients had diabetes with about one quarter being insulin-dependent. Over 20%of patients smoked and a similar percentage had a previous heart attack.Three quarters of patients had 1 target lesion, 22% had 2 target lesions and 3% had 3 and 11% of patients had 1 or more complex lesions. The average lesion length was 15 mm, reference-vessel diameter was 2.75 mm, minimal luminal diameter was 0.75 mm, and average % stenosis was 72%.Procedures: Patients were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive an everolimus- or paclitaxel-eluting stent. They were stratified based on having diabetes or not, whether they had a single or complex lesion, and study site. Operators were not blind to the stent being used. At least 300 mg of aspirin was administered before catheterization and at least 300 mg of clopidogrel was recommended before the procedure and was required within 1 hour after stent implantation. Patients took at least 80 mg of aspirin daily for an indefinite period and 75 mg of clopidogrel for at least 12 months. Clinical follow-up visits were scheduled at 30, 180, 270, and 365 days and yearly through 5 years.Endpoints: The primary end point was ischemia-driven target lesion failure at 1 year defined by the composite of cardiac death, target-vessel myocardial infarction, or ischemia-driven target-lesion revascularization. As was the case in the TAXUS-IV trial, “ischemia-driven” did not necessarily mean “symptom-driven”. Two major secondary endpoints were also prespecified which included ischemia-driven target-lesion revascularization and the composite of death or target-vessel MI.The trial was powered for sequential testing of noninferiority and superiority for both the primary and 2 major secondary endpoints. The criteria for noninferiority would be met if the upper limit of the 97.5% confidence interval was not more than 3.1%. This was based on an assumed 1 year target-lesion failure rate of 8.2% for both groups. The trial had 90% power to show non-inferiority. Superiority testing was prespecified if the criterion for noninferiority was met. It was estimated that 3690 patients would have 90% power to detect a 2.9% absolute reduction in the primary end point, at a two-sided alpha of 0.05. The trial also had 90% power to test noninferiority for ischemia-driven target-lesion revascularization and the composite of cardiac death or target-vessel MI at a 2.1% margin. It had 90% and 91% power to test for superiority of these endpoints if noninferiority was met.*Note to learners: The statistical analysis plan for this trial demonstrates 2 important concepts in hypothesis testing. First, trials can be powered in a prespecified manner for non-inferiority and superiority testing. Second, trials can be powered for prespecified hypothesis testing of more than just a single endpoint.Results: Patients were enrolled over a 2 year period from 66 U.S. sites. There were a total of 3,687 patients included in the final analysis with 2,458 in the everolimus-eluting stent group and 1,229 in the paclitaxel-eluting stent group. There were some significant differences for patients receiving everolimus-eluting stents that included the number of stents per lesion, total stent length per lesion, the ratio of stent length to lesion length and the maximum pressure used.At 1 year, everolimus-eluting stents met non-inferiority for the primary and major secondary endpoints and met superiority for 2 of 3. Everolimus-eluting stents reduced the primary endpoint of target-lesion failure (4.2% vs 6.8%; RR 0.62; 95% CI 0.46 to 0.82) and the major secondary endpoint of ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization (2.5 vs 4.6%; RR 0.55; 95% CI 0.38 to 0.78) but not the other major secondary endpoint of cardiac death or target-vessel MI (2.2% vs 3.2%; RR 0.69; 95% CI 0.46 to 1.04). Differences in target-lesion failure were driven by statistically significant reductions in target-lesion revascularization (2.5% vs 4.6%) as well as MI (1.9% vs 3.1%) but not all-cause (1.0% vs 1.3%) or cardiac death (0.4% vs 0.4%). Stent thrombosis was also significantly reduced but rates were very low in both groups and the trial was not powered for this endpoint.Interestingly, subgroup analysis of the primary endpoint revealed a statistically significant interaction for treatment efficacy in patients with diabetes such that diabetics did not appear to benefit from everolimus-eluting stents (6.4% vs 6.9%) compared to non-diabetics (3.3% vs 6.7%; p for interaction = 0.02).Conclusions: In patients with stable CAD who underwent generally non-complex PCI procedures, 3rd generation everolimus-eluting stents compared to 2nd generation paclitaxel-eluting stents reduced a composite endpoint of ischemia-driven target-lesion failure by 38% with a number needed to treat of approximately 40 patients. This was associated with statistically significant reductions in nonfatal MI with a NNT of approximately 100 patients and ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization with a NNT of approximately 50 patients. Everolimus-eluting stents did not reduce death.There was an interaction noted for diabetic patients who did not appear to significantly benefit from everolimus-eluting stents. Notably, diabetics exhibited more severe angiographic disease with a higher prevalence of multivessel disease, diffuse plaque burden, and a greater likelihood of left main coronary artery involvement. This subgroup finding along with the highly selected nature of the study cohort reduces our confidence that the 3rd generation everolimus-eluting stent confers significant advantages over 2nd generation stents for many patients who receive them in clinical practice.One final consideration is that the trial was single blinded and operators were aware of stent type which could have biased their performance and the study results.Cardiology Trial's Substack is a reader-supported publication.

Episode Summary: In this episode, Heather “Lucky” Penney explores space launch operations, infrastructure, and technologies with Brad Appel, the Chief Technology Officer of Ursa Major, and Mitchell Institute's Charles Galbreath. Today, all U.S. military operations rely on space capabilities and effects delivered from the on-orbit architecture. Assured access to space and robust launch infrastructure are foundational for mission success—especially given growing demand and the realities of a burgeoning threat environment. Launch operations remain a technically challenging mission and must not be taken for granted. Factors like confidence, capacity, cadence, and cost are hugely important for future launch solutions.

Welcome to Day 2522 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2522 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 37:16-22 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2522 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2522 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. In today's Wisdom Nugget, we're continuing our exploration of Psalm 37, focusing on verses 16 through 22 from the New Living Translation. This passage contains profound wisdom about trusting God, valuing righteousness over riches, and understanding the fate of both the godly and the wicked. Let's begin by reading Psalm 37:16-22 together: Psalm 37:16-22 (NLT) 16 It is better to be godly and have little than to be evil and rich. 17 For the strength of the wicked will be shattered, but the Lord takes care of the godly. 18 Day by day the Lord takes care of the innocent, and they will receive an inheritance that lasts forever. 19 They will not be disgraced in hard times; even in famine they will have more than enough. 20 But the wicked will die. The Lord's enemies are like flowers in a field— they will disappear like smoke. 21 The wicked borrow and never repay, but the godly are generous givers. 22 Those the Lord blesses will possess the land, but those He curses will die.

This verse encourages us to evaluate what we prioritize. Are we striving for temporary wealth or eternal righteousness? By choosing godliness, we align ourselves with God's purposes and experience the lasting joy and peace that come from living in His will. God's Care for the Godly (Verse 17): In verse 17, David contrasts the fate of the wicked and the godly: “For the strength of the wicked will be shattered, but the Lord takes care of the godly.” The “strength of the wicked” refers to their power, influence, or resources—things they often rely on to assert their dominance or achieve their goals. David assures us that this strength is temporary and will ultimately be broken. God's justice ensures that the wicked cannot sustain their power indefinitely. In contrast, the Lord...

Moral superiority is a trap that almost everyone falls into, often without realizing it. In this episode, Michael, Hari Prasada, and Rasanath unpack the ways in which the ego drives us to feel “better” than others—even in the name of values and virtue.

With vulnerability and depth, they reveal how to distinguish genuine values from ego-driven behavior and discuss the path toward transcending this subtle, yet powerful, egoic tendency.
