Budget 2025: A world of taxes, benefits and leaks. Mostly leaks. Tune in to find out what Alex Andreou and Naomi Smith make of it all. And they are joined by economic heavyweight Vicky Pryce to ensure that the economics aren't overshadowed by the theatrics (of which there were many). ***SPONSOR US AT ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠*** Head to ⁠⁠nakedwines.co.uk/riot ⁠⁠ to get a £30 voucher and six top-rated wines from our sponsor Naked Wines for £39.99, delivery included. “Upgrading this year's growth and slightly downgrading the next four years, I'm not sure that's a big problem for Reeves. She would rather be in a position where she is beating the forecast than falling behind.” “The OBR went back and looked at the productivity figures. What all those things, including Brexit, brought was a lowering of the productivity curve. You can't get to the trajectory you were on before. You become stuck at the low growth phase.” “We had a woman Chancellor, a woman Deputy Speaker keeping people in check and a woman Leader of the Opposition and, much as none of us have any time for Badenoch, that was a remarkable moment.” “The last time income tax was raised was 1975 - that's 50 years ago. This has led to a ballooning of the number of measures in a budget from a few with a big impact to hundreds with small impacts. It is deliberate confusion.” “The advantage of income tax is that it is progressive and you are pretty sure you will get money from it. Tinkering with many small measures can induce changes in behaviour that completely offset what you're trying to do, so then you have to tinker more.” • Buy something from ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠our bookshop here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. • Email us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠quietriotpod@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. • Or visit our website ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.quietriotpod.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

The government is tinkering with the Clean Car Standard again, saying most importers are unable to meet the targets under the scheme as it currently stands. Last year it watered down the standard to align CO2 emissions standards with Australia - saying that change would strike the right balance between reducing transport emissions and ensuring vehicles would be affordable. But it now says the market has changed and the scheme as a whole will be reviewed. Political reporter Giles Dexter spoke to Lisa Owen.

Cleveland Browns defensive end Alex Wright left Sunday's game early with an injury the Browns signed two defensive ends on Tuesday, could mean something could mean nothing. The Browns are going to end up with two top 20 picks or better in the 2026 NFL Draft and going off of Dane Brugler's early big board getting a quarterback and wide receiver or offensive tackle should be there for them to do.

In this episode of the Imperfectionist Podcast, host David Rendall welcomes Jason and Kim Kotecki, a couple who have dedicated their lives to fighting 'adultitis'—the tendency to take life too seriously. They share their journey of working together, the importance of creativity, and how they have built a successful business around their art and speaking engagements. The conversation explores the concept of tinkering as a way to find one's path and the significance of embracing imperfection in life and work. In this engaging conversation, Kim and Jason Kotecki discuss the importance of embracing childlike joy, creativity, and a unique approach to education through unschooling. They share fun and wild suggestions for reconnecting with one's inner child, the significance of trusting the human spirit in learning, and the value of being weird. The Koteckis also introduce their new children's book, 'The Penguin Who Wanted to Fly,' and emphasize the importance of community and connection in their journey.

Dividing Line, 28min., Georgia Directed by Mevlud Sabashvili A woman finds the strength to leave an abusive relationship. A woman does not find the strength to leave an abusive relationship. https://www.facebook.com/mevludi.sabashvili Get to know the filmmaker: What motivated you to make this film? – I was motivated by format first. I had the idea of making a film with a split frame that would show two different life-paths. When I settled on that idea, this particular story came to mind as a good fit for this format. From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take for you to make this film? – It took about 5-6 months. Actual filming took 7 days. The longest period was post-production. Tinkering with editing and due to the format of the film, many consideration had to be made in therms of color and sound, directing viewers attention to the necessary halves of the screen. How would you describe your film in two words!? – It's okay. Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod/ https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod

“Start tinkering. You've got to start somewhere—and now is the time,” says Jacci Robinson, Vice President – Go-to-Market & Growth (North America) at Anunta. At the MSP Summit in Orlando, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, sat down with Robinson after her panel appearance to discuss how MSPs can begin their AI journey. She noted that many providers are unsure where to start with AI adoption, but waiting is not an option. By experimenting with existing tools, cleaning up data, and testing small internal projects, MSPs can build the foundation for AI-driven efficiency. Robinson emphasized that the most successful use cases to date have come from operations—not flashy product launches. By automating back-office tasks, MSPs can reclaim hours of productivity, uncover hidden revenue opportunities, and prepare their organizations for larger AI-driven transformation. “Be customer zero,” she advised, urging MSPs to apply AI internally before bringing solutions to clients. She also highlighted Anunta's unique approach to digital employee experience. Their service-as-a-software platform uses AI agents to simulate a war room, pulling in data from network, infrastructure, and desktop tools to resolve issues in real time—often before end users even notice a problem. This “zero-incident framework” lowers ticket volumes and reduces operational costs for both MSPs and their customers. “AI isn't just a toolset—it's a mindset,” Robinson said. “It's about reframing growth, not by adding headcount, but by leveraging technology to deliver more with less.” Learn more at anuntatech.com.

For years, driving by the Inner Koramangala Inner Ring Road from where I stay to Indiranagar, the Ultraviolette showroom would always catch my eye on the left. I used to constantly wonder about those really cool bikes hanging from cables in the double-ceiling office, intrigued by what kind of bikes they were.Coincidentally, Ultraviolette was founded in the same year that The Ken also started.

We'll delve into what that means for a founder and how they perceive the passage of time when building an organisation from the ground up, because, as Narayan notes, time is the biggest limiting factor for a startup, encompassing money and talent, as founders are always trying to "buy time".We explored Ultraviolette's foundational vision, how his engineering education laid a strong foundation, and how it fostered a passion to build things from an early age, even tinkering with electronics and DIY systems, their early funding challenges when VCs deemed their ambition "a little too risky" in the early stages, as they were trying to compete with entrenched players.Narayan is also the head of design at Ultraviolette, so naturally, the conversation went in the direction of him defining the Ultraviolette brand's core pillars as design, technology, and performance, with the promise of "bringing you the future faster than the competition".He shared Ultraviolette's ambition to expand to Europe this year and address a significant market gap for compelling electric mid-segment motorcycles at price parity with internal combustion engines.Narayan also revealed that his colleagues often describe him and his co-founder and childhood friend, Niraj, as "paranoid," driven by a deep attention to detail.

Membership | Donations | Spotify | YouTube | Apple PodcastsThis week's guest is my friend Evan Miyazono, CEO and Director of Atlas Computing — a tech non-profit committed not to the false god of perfect alignment but to plausible strategy of provable safety. Focusing on community building, cybersecurity, and biosecurity, Evan and his colleagues are working to advance a new AI architecture that constrains and formally specifies AI outputs, with reviewable intermediary results, collaborating across sectors to promote this radically different and more empirical approach to applied machine intelligence.After completing his PhD in Applied Physics at Caltech, Evan led research at Protocol Labs, creating their research grants program, and led the special projects team that created Hypercerts, Funding the Commons, gov4git, and key parts of Discourse Graphs and the initial Open Agency Architecture proposal.In our conversation we talk about a wide swath of topics including regulatory scaling problems, specifying formal organizational charters, the spectre of opacity, and the quantification of trust — all, in some sense, interdisciplinary matters of “game design” in our entanglement with magical technologies and fundamental uncertainty.If you enjoy this conversation, join the Wisdom x Technology Discord server and consider becoming a member for access to our study groups, community calls, and complete archives.

Game designers Forrest Imel and Gavin Valentine define games as having meaningful decisions, uncertain outcomes, and measurable feedback. If any one of these breaks, the game breaks. And we can think about tech ethics through this lens as well. Much of tech discourse is about how one or more of these dimensions has broken the “game” of life on Earth — the removal of meaningful decisions, the mathematical guarantee of self-termination through unsustainable practices, and/or the decoupling of feedback loops.AI alignment approaches tend to converge on restoring meaningful decisions by getting rid of uncertainty, but it's a lost cause. It's futile to encode our values into systems we can't understand. To the extent that machines think, they think very differently than we do, and characteristically “interpret” our requests in ways that reveal the assumptions we are used to making based on shared context and understanding with other people.We may not know how a black box AI model arrives at its outputs, but we can evaluate those outputs…and we can segment processes like this so that there are more points at which to review them. One of this show's major premises is that the design and use of AI systems is something like spellcraft — a domain where precision matters because the smallest deviation from a precise encoding of intent can backfire.Magic isn't science in as much as we can say that for spellcraft, mechanistic understanding is, frankly, beside the point. Whatever you may think of it, spellcraft evolved as a practical approach for operating in a mysterious cosmos. Westernized Modernity dismisses magic because Enlightenment era thinking is predicated on the knowability of nature and the conceit that everything can and will eventually bend to principled, rigorous investigation. But this confused accounting just reshuffled its uneradicable remainder of fundamental uncertainty back into a stubbornly persistent Real that continues to exist in excess of language, mathematics, and mechanistic frameworks. Economies, AI, and living systems guarantee uncertain outcomes — and in accepting this, we have to re-engage with magic in the form of our machines. The more alike they become, the more our mystery and open-ended co-improvisation loom back over any goals of final knowledge and control.In a 2016 essay, Danny Hillis called this The Age of Entanglement. It is a time that calls for an evolutionary approach to technology. Tinkering and re-evaluating, we find ourselves one turn up the helix in which quantitative precision helps us reckon with the new built wilderness of technology. When we cannot fully explain the inner workings of large language models, we have to step back and ask:What are our values, and how do we translate them into measurable outputs?How can we break down the wicked problem of AI controllability into chunks on which it's possible to operate?How can adaptive oversight and steering fit with existing governance processes?In other words, how can we properly task the humanities with helping us identify “meaningful decisions” and the sciences with providing “measurable feedback.” Giving science the job of solving uncertainty or defining our values ensures we'll get as close as we can to certitude about outcomes we definitely don't want. But if we think like game designers, then interdisciplinary collaboration can help us safely handle the immense power we've created and keep the game going. This is a public episode.

Firearms customization has been around for probably as long as firearms have. This week on TFB's Behind the Gun Podcast we've brought back the hosts from The Carry Handle Podcast - Kevin and Bryce - to talk about an often hotly debated topic: Do you or Don't you modify your guns? As Americans, we have access to a litany of firearms and related accessories. In some cases and for a lot of us, our first AR-15 was probably made entirely out of individually purchased parts rather than sold as a complete rifle. Today Bryce and Kevin will discuss whether or not they like to approach firearms this way and why. As you'll see everything is not so black and white, but when it comes to tweaking and progressively updating firearms, you'll find that not everyone is on the same page. Please give a warm welcome back to the guys from The Carry Handle Podcast - Bryce and Kevin!  The Carry Handle Podcast on YouTube https://www.instagram.com/thecarryhandlepodcast/

In this episode of the Antler Up Podcast, I sit down with Tom Fleisher (@PhillyBurbsBowHunter) to talk about the challenges and rewards of suburban hunting in Pennsylvania. Tom shares how his early hunting experiences shaped his passion for the sport and how Pennsylvania's 5C area offers unique opportunities for deer hunters. We dive into the importance of strategic planning, patience, and responsible deer management in urban and suburban settings, where shot placement and ethical hunting are critical. Tom also highlights the value of building relationships with property owners, navigating new state game lands, and fostering a sense of community through his Philly Burbs Bow Hunters page. Beyond hunting strategy, we discuss the role of technology—like cell cameras, which can be both an asset and a distraction—along with how harsh winters impact deer movement. Tom also shares insights on hunting gear, from the benefits of heavy arrows for better penetration to the importance of constant tinkering for improved performance. If you're interested in suburban hunting, refining your setup, or just looking to hear great hunting stories, this episode is packed with valuable insights! So, grab your gear, sit back, and join us on this episode as we Antler Up with Tom Fleisher!
