What if the expert quote you just read in a news article wasn't written by a human — but by AI? That's already happening.  A PR tool called Synapse is selling agencies the ability to fire off automated expert pitches to journalists, complete with research, personal-sounding anecdotes, and polished email copy — all with minimal human input. It promises one person can do the work of five and crank out twenty media pitches an hour.  But is this innovation, or is it a warning sign for the future of public relations? In this episode, we're unpacking what Synapse means for PR and media. We'll explore why this kind of automation raises ethical alarms, how journalists are likely to respond, and what PR professionals need to do right now to protect trust, credibility, and the real value we bring to the table.  Listen For6:12 Creepy or Clever?

Send us a textHow brain synapses work and fuel themselves with fat.Episode Summary: Dr. Timothy Ryan talks about the high energy costs of synapses, the role of mitochondria and glycolysis, and challenge the long-held view that the brain relies solely on glucose by discussing new evidence that neurons burn fats from lipid droplets for fuel, especially during activity. The talk touches on metabolic flexibility, links to epilepsy treatments like ketogenic diets, neurodegenerative diseases, and future research on brain energy sources.About the guest: Timothy Ryan, PhD is a professor of biochemistry at Cornell University. His research focuses on the molecular mechanisms of synaptic transmission, particularly vesicle recycling and the bioenergetics that power neural communication. Discussion Points:Synapses are tiny structures with ~100 vesicles per site (on average), converting electrical signals to chemical ones.Brain tissue is energy-hungry due to trillions of synapses (in humans), relying on local mitochondria (present in only ~half of synapses) and glycolysis.Vesicles use proton pumps and transporters to concentrate neurotransmitters, requiring ATP to maintain gradients.Neurons are metabolically fragile; cutting fuel supply quickly impairs synapses.Dogma held brains don't burn fats, but new work shows neurons form lipid droplets (fat stores) that are invisible because constantly used for energy via beta-oxidation.Silencing neurons builds lipid droplets like resting muscle; activity speeds their breakdown, indicating demand-driven fat use.Inhibiting neuron-specific fat-processing enzymes accumulates droplets and induces torpor (hibernation-like state) in animals, signaling metabolic stress.Ketogenic diets aid epilepsy by shifting to ketones; fats may explain this, with potential ties to aging and neurodegeneration like Alzheimer's.Brain may be a "hybrid" fuel user (glucose + fats), with open questions on fat sources and roles in cognition or disease protection.Related episode:M&M 158: Ketosis & Ketogenic Diet: Brain & Mental Health, Metabolism, Diet & Exercise, Cancer, Diabetes | Dominic D'Agostino*Not medical advice.Support the showAll episodes, show notes, transcripts, and more at the M&M Substack Affiliates: KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + potassium, calcium & magnesium, formulated with kidney health in mind.

For more than a decade, Yard One have played the long game, releasing smart, often under-the-radar records that quietly land in the bags of selectors who value depth over hype. With Neuroglow EP, the duo circle back to their home base, Tact Recordings, not with nostalgia but with the same grounded confidence that's defined their output since the beginning. “Synapse,” our premiere for today, captures that ethos in full: precise, atmospheric, and unafraid to sit in its own mood without forcing a payoff. “Synapse” feels like a mood caught mid-transition, weightless but restless, like something unfolding in slow motion under strobe lights. There's a glassy clarity to the pads, stretched just wide enough to pull the track into dream territory, but underneath it all, that modular sequence keeps things twitching, alert. And then come the strings, not ornamental, but emotional, like a voice without words. In “Synapse” Yard One are sketching atmosphere with intent. The track lingers in your memory because it hits that strange, rare note between melancholy and movement. ‘Neuroglow' EP has already gotten great feedback from DJs worldwide and will be available for purchase on July 23. @yard-one-music @tact-recordings www.instagram.com/yardonemusic/ Write up by: @gilleswasserman Follow us on social media: https://soundcloud.com/itsdelayed https://linktr.ee/delayed https://www.delayed.nyc https://www.facebook.com/itsdelayed https://www.instagram.com/_____delayed https://www.youtube.com/@_____delayed Contact us: info@delayed.nyc

premiere: Yard One - Munte [Tact Recordings] @yard-one-music return to @tact-recordings late July with the four-track ‘Neuroglow' EP, showcasing the duo's take on hypnotic house and techno. Over the past decade Jordan Bruce and Larry Jones aka Yard One have been etching their mark into contemporary electronic music, releasing material on the likes of Philipp Priebe's Stólar, Tokyo's Sound Of Vast, Cinthie's Collective Cuts, Malin Genie's Vigenère, Apparel Music's Tronic sub-label, Yama Music and of course the co-founded alongside Fletcher, Tactics and Tact Recordings where they return here. Opening the EP is ‘Munte' a tribal tinged jam fuelled by organic drums, twitchy percussive elements, oscillating subs, airy chord sequences, dubbed out swells and arpeggio acid-laced bass flutters. ‘Dazed' follows next and leans into the duo's deeper side courtesy of swirling textural elements, jazzy, delayed piano lines and a heavily swung rhythm section. ‘Synapse' follows next, exploring the pairs love for the deeper end of the Techno spectrum as billowing atmospherics, cinematic strings and sporadic bass notes ebb and flow atop a robust drum groove. ‘Orexis' then concludes the EP, embracing a more microhouse aesthetic with a focus on intricately intertwined, shuffled percussion while breathy pads, rumbling low end pulsations and murky echoes further fuel the subtly shifting loop-led vibe.

Jurandir Filho, Felipe Mesquita, Evandro de Freitas e Bruno Carvalho batem um papo sobre a "Rock N' Roll Racing", lançado em 1993 para Super Nintendo. Ele é um daqueles jogos que marcaram época não só pela jogabilidade viciante, mas também por sua atitude irreverente e trilha sonora inesquecível. Desenvolvido pela Silicon & Synapse, que mais tarde se tornaria a lendária Blizzard Entertainment, o game colocou os jogadores em corridas futuristas recheadas de armamentos, explosões e, claro, muito rock ‘n roll.O diferencial do jogo estava no seu estilo: uma mistura de corrida isométrica com combate veicular, tudo embalado por versões em 16 bits de clássicos do rock como "Paranoid" do Black Sabbath, "Born to Be Wild" do Steppenwolf e "Bad to the Bone" do George Thorogood. Era a primeira vez que muitos jogadores ouviam essas músicas, ainda que em versões sintetizadas, e isso ajudava a criar uma atmosfera única, empolgante e rebelde. A narração de Larry "Supermouth" Huffman também foi um show à parte. Frases como "The stage is set, the green flag drops!" ou "Rip is dominating the race!" ecoam até hoje na memória de quem cresceu nos anos 90.O jogo ainda resiste ao tempo?Esse é mais um episódio da nossa série Remakes!-- ALURA | Faça o Quiz Jornada Tech e entenda qual o seu perfil profissional!

In this episode, Alex Johnson of Fintech Takes and I discuss:* FICO launches new scores that incorporate pay-in-four buy now, pay later data. But will it make a difference?* The CFPB files a statement of interest in the Synapse bankruptcy, potentially setting up a backdoor bailout to make out-of-pocket depositors whole. Does it set a bad precedent?* A brief word on crypto mortgages.* And, as always, what Alex and I just can't let go of.

Welcome back to Fintech Takes. I'm Alex Johnson, joined (as always) with my partner-in-fintech-recapping, Jason Mikula. Let's get into it. First up: at long last, FICO score versions now include BNPL data, but there's a catch (several, actually). Affirm is furnishing data, but other major players like Klarna and Afterpay? Not so much. We dig into why most BNPLs resist sharing data (hint: it's expensive, complicated, and gives away their competitive edge), and how open banking could help—if you could reliably connect Klarna to Plaid (you can't). Then, just when we abandon BaaS Island, the CFPB shows up with a lifeboat with a surprise move in the Synapse bankruptcy. A four-page filing could open the door to using the Civil Penalty Fund to repay depositors. It's not quite a fintech bailout, but it might be the cleanest way to make people whole … and quietly shut the whole thing down. All of which still raises the bigger question: why did this happen in the first place (BaaS was supposed to be a thin layer on top of FDIC-insured banks)? Next, FHFA (which oversees Fannie and Freddie,  federal home loan banks, and a whole host of other interesting things) does crypto policy by tweet. Director Bill Pulte told Fannie and Freddie (via Twitter) to undertake a study for accepting crypto as mortgage collateral. According to the latest Federal Reserve data, only 8% of households used crypto in any fashion in 2024. So… why? Because someone asked. And in our Can't Let It Go corner: Jason roasts ABN AMRO's new sub-brand, BUUT (yes, BUUT), while I spiral over Circle's $56B IPO valuation (this is meme coin math applied to a narrow bank!).  Sign up for Alex's Fintech Takes newsletter for the latest insightful analysis on fintech trends, along with a heaping pile of pop culture references and copious footnotes.

In this episode of Hardware to Save a Planet, host Dylan Garrett talks with Randol Aikin, founder of Remedy Scientific, about revolutionizing land remediation. With over 500,000 contaminated sites across the U.S., Aikin explains how robotics, AI, and containerized systems are accelerating the cleanup of toxic “forever chemicals.” This innovative approach not only enables faster, localized treatment but also unlocks critical land for housing and infrastructure, proving that development and environmental protection can go hand in hand.

New Tech Alert: A speedy all-road bike with all the tire clearance, an unreleased (and still embargoed) gravel bike, and a clever gravel suspension fork from DT Swiss make this a gear-focused show.  Senior Tech Editor Alvin Holbrook chats with Levy about riding Cannondale's completely redesigned Synapse that offers massive tire clearance, a best-in-class storage box, and integrated lighting that (might) finally make sense. Further, he explains how one battery powers all of it and the AXS derailleur. The price? $16,499.  He's also spent some time on a new gravel suspension fork from DT Swiss that features integrated brake hose routing and aero-ish shaping, and even got to use one while racing a very wet Traka 100 in Spain just a few days ago.  Topics covered: First Ride: The New Cannondale Synapse Road Bike Gets Gravel Tire Clearance and Integrated Lights Canyon's Unreleased Gravel Suspension Fork Surfaces Again at The Traka The Bikes of the 2025 Traka Gravel Race

In this lore deep dive we untangle the Octarius War: an Imperial “containment plan” that backfired spectacularly and turned the Ork Empire of Octarius into Hive Fleet Leviathan's all‑you‑can‑eat buffet. We'll track Inquisitor Fidus Kryptman's infamous Genestealer “gift,” follow Ghazghkull Thraka's brief but explosive cameo, and watch The Swarmlord unleash tunneling bio‑titans, fluorescent kaiju, and sea‑monster splinter fleets against Warbosses with names straight out of a metal album.You'll learn how Waaagh! energy, Kustom mega‑weapons, and Leviathan's on‑the‑fly biogenesis turned entire star systems into the Pankallis Cauldron; why Forge Worlds were forced into last‑stand super‑weapon mode; and what the ongoing meat‑grinder means for the Imperium, the Ork clanz, and the Great Devourer's next evolution.

In this episode of Hardware to Save a Planet, host Dylan Garrett talks with Nehali Jain, Chief of Staff at Antora, a company on a mission to decarbonize heavy industry with thermal batteries. They explore how renewable electricity can be stored as heat in carbon blocks reaching 2,400°C—cheaper and more scalable than fossil fuels. Learn how this breakthrough tackles industrial emissions, supports grid reliability, and offers a practical path to gigaton-scale CO2 reduction through modular, cost-effective energy storage.

We track the fleet's rise from Behemoth and Kraken lessons learned, through Kryptman's infamous Galactic Cordon, the planet‑shattering Battle of Tarsis Ultra, and the grinding Octarius War that pitted Orks against 'Nids.
