Today we look at fresh blow-out enthusiasm for a major tech name reporting strong earnings that blasted its stock into the stratosphere after hours yesterday. We also note the bevy of interesting tech names reporting next week, run through some macro and FX observations, note the key technical hold in gold, the shifting forward curve in crude oil and more. Regarding today's episode title, consider Saxo's outrageous prediction for this year regarding the SpaceX IPO and one of the main things - or perhaps the main thing - Elon Musk hopes to achieve in going to Mars (link below). Today's pod hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy. Links We took a stab at predicting the scale of the SpaceX IPO  (undershooting badly!) and some of the true reasons for Elon Musk's passion for going to Mars in the Saxo Outrageous Predictions for 2026 released late last year. The Register discussed Salesforce' "waving bye-bye" to its User Interface as it opens up its data to a trillion API calls from other platforms, including increasingly Anthropic  via its Headless 360, a programmable agent platform. The constantly shade-throwing Futurism (ironically a bit Luddite at times) with an article questioning whether CEO's are suffering from AI psychosis as they are out of touch with the struggle for AI to get traction at ground level in their organisations. Is AI making some people feel and act dangerously over-competent and what are the risks if so? (HT FTAlphaville) About twice per week (in normal times, hopefully soon to resume), you will find links discussed on the podcast and a chart-of-the-day over at the John J. Hardy substack.

In this episode of Growing Ecommerce, Mike Ryan and Chris Scharmueller dive into the much-anticipated updates to the OpenAI ads platform and break down Google's staggering Q1 earnings report.While OpenAI has finally transitioned their ad platform from a primitive Excel spreadsheet to a proper User Interface, their highly publicized shift to a CPC model is raising major red flags. We break down the math behind their highly constrained $3 to $5 max CPC range, revealing how it mathematically equates to the exact same astronomical $60 effective CPM they originally launched with. We discuss why advertisers should demand more transparency and control before shifting their performance budgets to ChatGPT.We also unpack Google's unstoppable Q1 momentum. With a massive $110 billion in revenue and an 80% spike in earnings per share, Google is silencing the "death of Search" narrative. We explore their impressive 19% core Search growth, the staggering 63% surge in Google Cloud that is heavily outpacing AWS and Azure, and why Google's massive $180 billion CapEx guidance for 2026 solidifies their dominance in the AI arms race.Key Takeaways:• The OpenAI Ad Trap: Don't be fooled by OpenAI's new CPC bidding model. By forcing advertisers into a strict $3 to $5 CPC range, the platform is essentially maintaining its premium $60 effective CPM under a disguise. Advertisers should hold off on shifting performance budgets until real incrementality and transparency are proven.• Search is Still Thriving: Despite the ongoing narrative that AI will kill traditional search engines, Google's core Search product grew by 19% year-over-year. The search giant's core advertising flywheel remains the most reliable engine for ecommerce growth.• Google Cloud is Winning the AI War: Google Cloud (GCS) achieved a staggering 63% year-over-year growth, heavily outpacing Amazon AWS (28%) and Microsoft Azure (39%). Powered by deep Gemini integration and proprietary TPUs, Google's vertical integration puts them in a unique position to dominate the next decade.Resources & Links:• Access all our webinars, reports, and playbooks in our Knowledge Hub: https://smarter-ecommerce.com/en/knowledge-hub/ • How is your industry stacking up in the market?

Toad fixes that by using the Agent Client Protocol (ACP) as a standardized plug-in layer, giving users elegant prompt editing, proper streaming markdown rendering, beautiful tables, syntax highlighting, and a hybrid shell-plus-AI interface — all in the terminal, where developers already live.The conversation gets sharply honest when the topic turns to AI and developer craft. Will — a 30-year coding veteran who admits it's not instinctive for him to reach for AI — shares a clear-eyed view of its strengths and limits: AI is extraordinarily fast at anything well-defined and unambiguous, but still struggles with genuinely novel problems.His conclusion?Most of what software developers do day-to-day isn't actually novel — it's pattern assembly — and that's precisely where AI shines. The future of coding isn't replacement; it's liberation from the mechanical grind. Oh, and the podcast host literally reading out "music intro here" because stage directions ended up in the transcript? That one's a cautionary tale for the ages.RECOMMENDED BOOKSWill McGugan • Beginning Python Games Development 2nd ed. • https://amzn.to/4ebBfxuWill McGugan • Beginning Game Development with Python and Pygame • https://amzn.to/4cyVdB3Sam Keen • Clean Architecture with Python • https://amzn.to/4pBT5g0Eric Evans • Domain-Driven Design • https://amzn.to/3tnGhwmNaomi Ceder • The Quick Python Book • https://amzn.to/3zwdDOaBlueskyInstagramLinkedInFacebookCHANNEL MEMBERSHIP BONUSJoin this channel to get early access to videos & other perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs_tLP3AiwYKwdUHpltJPuA/joinLooking for a unique learning experience?Attend the next GOTO conference near you!

Is AI really the new UI, or is that just another tech buzzphrase? Or ... is AI actually EVERY user interface now?In this episode of TechFirst, host John Koetsier sits down with Mark Vange, CEO & founder of Automate.ly and former CTO at Electronic Arts, to unpack what happens when interfaces stop being fixed and start being generated on the fly.They explore:• Why generative AI makes it cheaper to create custom interfaces per user• How conversational, auditory, and adaptive experiences redefine “UI”• When consistency still matters (cars, safety systems, frontline work)• Why AI doesn't replace workers — but radically reshapes workflows• Whether browsers should become AI-native or stay neutral canvases• The unresolved risks around AI agents, payments, and controlFrom hospitals using AI to speak Haitian Creole, to compliance forms that drop from hours to minutes, this conversation shows how every experience can become intelligent, contextual, and helpful.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. Hello, again. This is Trey. Welcome to part 5 in my Cheap Yellow Display (CYD) Project series. If you are still listening to me ramble about this project, thank you. If you wish to catch up on earlier episodes, you can find them on my HPR profile page https://www.hackerpublicradio.org/correspondents/0394.html To review, My project is to build a portable morse code "Keyer memory" which can be connected to any of my HF transceiver radios by simply plugging it in to the code key input port. Then I could transmit stored messages by simply touching their specific icon on the touch screen. I also want to be able to program each macro individually from the graphical user interface (GUI). To do this, I need to learn how to build a GUI. Most of the CYD resources I have been referencing recommend using Squareline Studio for GUI development on the CYD. Sadly, Squareline Studio is not open source. If any of you have experience with a good, open source alternative to Squareline Studio, please record a show to help the rest of us. Squareline does have a free trial and a free single user / single computer license, which I am using for this project. It will run on Windows, Linux, and Mac. After watching several videos about using the CYD with Squareline, I started to outline the functionality I needed. Squareline provides a wide range of pre-configured boards and interfaces to choose from, in addition to widgets and controls which you can drag onto your screens, and it will automatically generate the supporting code in the background. The initial page needs to have the macro buttons, with labels for the message they will send when pressed. There also needs to be navigation buttons to move from one page to others. Another important page will be the configuration page, where the user can store the contents of each macro and set the speed at which code will be sent. I would like to have a keyboard page where the user can type a custom message and send it. I made a few GUI sketches on post-it-notes, then I installed Squareline Studio on my Ubuntu laptop to start designing. There is a bit of a learning curve. Even with guide videos, I found the user experience to be... challenging. Their own GUI leaves much to be desired. It was not designed to run on the laptop's screen size/resolution. I had to switch to a much higher resolution monitor and rearrange frames within the app itself in order to see many of the controls. Button size adjustments, alignments, and label text did not work quite as expected. Getting things sized and aligned properly took quite a bit of fiddling. The text displayed on a button is a separate object from the button itself, so I have had to put some thought into object naming so that I can write code which will change button labels dynamically. I am including some screenshots from Squareline for the interface I designed. One great feature is that you can define actions and conditions for objects in your project. For example, there are buttons on the left which will navigate to specific screens. I defined actions within Squareline, such that when the specific navigation button is pressed, it will change the button appearance to look like it has been pressed and will then scroll left or right to a specified screen. Actions were also valuable for the Speed (WPM) slider on the Config screen. When this slider is moved left and right, the GUI will change the actual number for WPM to the right of the slider. Next, there is a simulator function which can be used to test how well the GUI works. It took some trial and error, but I was able to build and successfully test, navigational actions and the WPM slider. As I was working on building the afore mentioned WPM slider, and thinking about the default words per minute of Morse to use, my ADHD interrupted me (As usual). I decided to change the default speed that I use for the Arduino Nano based Morse code practice keyer which I keep on my desk. You can learn more about this keyer in episode 3 of this series. And we will also discuss Morse code speed in a future episode in this series. The original code (As found on https://github.com/jmharvey1/ArduinoCPO ) specified 12 words per minute (WPM) as the default speed, with buttons to increase or decrease this. However, I am practicing at 20 WPM. Every time I turn on the practice set, I need to turn up the speed and guess when I am close to 20. I went ahead and opened the PracticeOscilator project in Arduino IDE and updated the wpm variable to a value of 20. No, you will not see this change reflected in my own GitHub repo because: A) I wanted to test it locally first B) 20 WPM may be a little fast for a default C) I do not use git the way that it is meant to be used, or the way I SHOULD be using it, with pull requests and all. Bad Trey. D) I was distracted ANYWAY, the reason I bring this up is that it is the first time I have used the Arduino IDE to program a board with this system since I upgraded from Ubunto 20.04 to Ubuntu 22.04. Try as I might, I was not able to get the Arduino Nano's USB port to be recognized in Linux so that I could upload the updated keyer code. I spent several days troubleshooting, using other Arduino devices, different USB ports, and different cables, all to no avail. If anyone has any recommendations, I am open to suggestions. So, I dug out my son's old Windows 10 PC and started again. I had to install the Arduino IDE, load all the necessary libraries, and my code from Github (Which I had to manually change once again, because I don't fully get git). Finally I was able to update the Arduino Nano with its new code, and it works perfectly. But this revealed the same problem for the CYD. I also could not get it to connect over USB to my Ubuntu system. Time to migrate the entire project to Windows. My next step was to install Squareline Studio on Windows. Here, I ran into another snag, as my trial license was only for one system, so I had to uninstall Squareline from Linux before I could activate the license on Windows. Did I mention that I would love to find an open source, free software product to use instead? If you know of one, please ping me or post a comment. I wasted more time trying to get the GUI project I had written on the Linux machine imported into Squareline on Windows, all the while thinking of improvements I could make if I started again from scratch. It would not load, and would not load. In the end, I started all over again. After much blood sweat and tears, my GUI code was working again, and this time in Windows. I was able to run it in the simulation mode and move from page to page successfully and also use the WPM slider. I exported the UI from Squareline, and I loaded the code it generated into a new project within Arduino IE. Now was the moment of truth. I followed instructions found on the Pang YouTube channel video [ESP32 + LVGL] Configuration input device rotary encoder ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGM6gu9OpbA ). I connected the CYD and uploaded the code. SUCCESS!! You can see my "Send" screen loaded perfectly! Now to try other screens. Wait. Drat. It does not seem like my navigation buttons work. Actually, it does not appear that the touch screen is responding at all. I spent the next several days trying to figure out what went wrong. I checked and double checked interrupt and configuration settings (Such as those described in another of Pang's videos, [CYD + LVGL] Configuration Cheap Yellow Display | Easy Guide ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmR-mjJVumU ). Nothing worked. I came to realize that I bit off more than I could chew, and I should NOT have started with such an ambitious project. Instead I should have started with a simple equivalence of "Hello World", where I could build and test simple functionality to make sure I knew exactly what I was doing, then expand on it. Lessons learned, and a good stopping point for this episode. I am open to your feedback on what you would recommend, what I should do differently, etc. You can post simple feedback as a comment or send me an email using the address in my HPR profile. As usual, if your feedback is more than a sentence or two, you might want to record it as an episode so that other listeners can benefit from it as well. Time for an espresso. Maybe I will make it a double. Or even a triple! Provide feedback on this episode.

What is the true structure of reality? In his fourth appearance on Mind-Body Solution, cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman returns with the most significant update yet to Conscious Realism: trace logic, decorated permutations, the emergence of spacetime from networks of conscious agents, and the strongest mathematical progress so far toward deriving Minkowski space from consciousness itself. Across nearly three hours, we explore what has changed in Hoffman's thinking since our last dialogue two years ago: breakthroughs in the trace-order formalism, new clarifications on evolution and perception, deeper implications for identity and suffering, and the surprising philosophical consequences of consciousness being fundamental. This is Hoffman at his most refined - technically rigorous, personally honest, and metaphysically bold.TIMESTAMPS:(00:00) — Intro(03:12) — What has changed in Hoffman's thinking in the last two years?

In this action-packed SaaS Fuel episode, host Jeff Mains welcomes AI entrepreneur Alberto Rizzoli, co-founder and CEO of V7. They dive into the transformative power of AI in automating repetitive and complex knowledge work, discuss the accelerating pace of AI innovation, and unpack how both large enterprises and smaller teams can prioritize, implement, and benefit from next-generation “agentic” AI. Alberto Rizzoli candidly shares insights on the future of SaaS, practical applications in B2B, go-to-market challenges, the evolving demands on leadership and hiring, and what it takes to stand out in a world where technology is no longer a lasting moat.Key Takeaways00:00 AI Revolution: Transforming Technology04:00 AI Reducing Administrative Costs06:21 "Measuring AI's Impact on Knowledge"09:41 "AI as Workforce Revolution"15:53 "Startups Compete on Quality"18:27 "Tech Giants Dominate AI Future"22:27 "AI Implementation Leadership Needed"25:55 "Evaluating AI Tools Effectively"29:31 AI Adoption Requires Trust31:46 "Shift in GTM Strategies"35:48 "AI Automation Careers in Demand"37:20 "V7Labs: AI Workflow Automation"Tweetable QuotesViral Topic: The Real Value of AI in Knowledge Work: "Even if you had the money to ask a lawyer and that were not an issue, you would still first ask ChatGPT because you get an instantaneous answer and there is no friction towards that." — Alberto RizzoliAI & the Future of Work: "Keeping a human away from their family and children for five hours to do some work that AI can do in five minutes by consuming a lot less relative energy will actually be kind of the best of both worlds." — Alberto RizzoliQuote: "There is still an enormous amount of unrealized value from AI.

This week's guest is John Motley, the founder and CEO of LogNet.  LogNet was founded over 30 years ago and in our conversation we discussed the evolution of supply chain technology over that time.  John recounts LogNet's origins as an early pioneer, being the first client-server solution to utilize SQL databases on PCs, focusing specifically on visibility across order, transportation, and warehouse management. Today, LogNet's core technology centers on a "large trade model" which is similar to a large language model but based on graph theory with attributes like weight, cube, and carrier data.  We also discuss how AI is replacing traditional User Interfaces by fostering conversational, agentic solutions and moving past aesthetically pleasing but often useless features like maps. This episode is essential for understanding how importers and retailers can leverage advanced technology to mitigate volatility from tariffs, geopolitical challenges, and other disruptions and keep the majority of their freight on what John refers to as the Happy Path.

En este nuevo episodio de atareao con Linux, nos sumergimos en el fascinante mundo de los gestores de archivos para la terminal. Aunque ya he hablado de mi favorito, Yazi, hoy te presento uno que me ha volado la cabeza: Superfile.A menudo, pensamos que la productividad se consigue con interfaces gráficas complejas, pero este gestor de archivos minimalista y ultrarrápido, desarrollado en Go, demuestra todo lo contrario. Su TUI (Text-based User Interface) es tan sencillo y eficiente que te hará replantearte tu forma de trabajar con Linux, ya sea en un VPS, en tu Raspberry Pi o en cualquier servidor.Descubriremos por qué Superfile es una alternativa tan interesante a otras herramientas y exploraremos sus funcionalidades clave, sus atajos de teclado inspirados en Vi y los distintos modos que ofrece para optimizar cada tarea. Te sorprenderá lo fácil que es copiar, mover, renombrar y eliminar archivos y directorios con apenas unos pocos comandos.Acompáñame en este análisis y descubre si esta "locura" de gestor de archivos puede convertirse en tu nueva herramienta favorita. Si buscas una solución práctica, ligera y potente para gestionar tus archivos, este es tu episodio.Más información y enlaces en las notas del episodio

In this episode, we discuss an opinion piece written by Nick Hodges lamenting the decline of the user interface, providing our analysis of the main points regarding where UI has gone wrong and how we can fix it. In Condensed Soup, we discuss the most misused UX research phrases.

Te doy la bienvenida a un nuevo episodio de "atareao con Linux", mi podcast donde desgloso las mejores soluciones, trucos y métodos para que saques el máximo partido a tu sistema Linux y te conviertas en un ninja de la productividad. Hoy te traigo un tema que, te lo aseguro, transformará por completo mi forma, y tu forma, de interactuar con esos omnipresentes archivos PDF, especialmente si somos de los que vivimos y respiramos en la terminal. ¿Estás listo para descubrir un secreto que pocos conocen?¿Por qué este episodio es IMPRESCINDIBLE para ti?Sabes que en "atareao con Linux" defiendo la eficiencia, el control y la filosofía del código abierto. He hablado de Docker para contenerizar tus aplicaciones, de Neovim para una edición de texto sin igual, de Syncthing para mantener tus datos sincronizados, de Traefik para gestionar tus proxies inversos... Y todas estas herramientas tienen un denominador común: la potencia de la línea de comandos. Pero, ¿qué pasa cuando me encuentro con un PDF? Hasta ahora, la respuesta casi universal era abrir un pesado visor gráfico, salir de mi entorno de trabajo, romper mi concentración y consumir recursos innecesarios.¡Pues eso se acabó! En este episodio, te presento una joya del software libre: tdf.¿Qué es tdf y por qué deberías empezar a usarlo HOY mismo?tdf no es un visor de PDFs cualquiera. Es una aplicación TUI (Text-based User Interface), lo que significa que funciona directamente en mi terminal. Sí, has oído bien. Podré abrir, leer y navegar por mis documentos PDF sin tener que lanzar ninguna aplicación con interfaz gráfica. Esto es un cambio de juego, especialmente para quienes administramos servidores (¡saludos, usuarios de Raspberry Pi y VPS!), desarrollamos o simplemente amamos la eficiencia de la consola.Desarrollado en Rust, un lenguaje de programación conocido por su velocidad y seguridad, tdf es sorprendentemente rápido. Incluso con documentos PDF grandes y complejos, la experiencia es fluida y sin interrupciones. Esto se debe en gran parte a su renderizado asíncrono, que optimiza el rendimiento y mantiene la aplicación responsiva en todo momento.Más información y enlaces en las notas del episodio

Summary In this episode of the AI for Sales podcast, Chad Burmeister and Townsend Wardlaw explore the profound impact of consciousness on business growth, the evolution of user interfaces in the age of AI, and the critical role of empathy in sales and personal transformation. Townsend emphasizes that IQ is becoming obsolete, while emotional intelligence and empathy are paramount for success. The conversation delves into the importance of understanding trust and integrity, and how true transformation comes from shifting one's consciousness rather than merely acquiring information. Townsend shares insights on how to cultivate empathy and the necessity of looking beyond surface-level problems to uncover deeper truths in coaching and sales. Takeaways Consciousness is the ultimate tool for growing your business. In the age of AI, emotional intelligence is more valuable than IQ. Empathy is essential for effective coaching and sales. Transformation comes from applying information, not just acquiring it. Trust is about the degree to which someone will do what they say. Empathy allows us to see the world from another's perspective. Salespeople must engage beyond the customer's initial problem. Consciousness shifts can lead to profound personal and professional growth. AI cannot replace the human experience of empathy and transformation. Understanding one's own consciousness is key to helping others. Chapters 00:00 The Role of Consciousness in Business Growth 02:39 The Evolution of User Interfaces and AI 05:39 Empathy vs. IQ in the Age of AI 08:35 The Importance of Transformation Over Information 11:16 Understanding Trust and Integrity 14:14 Demand Creation vs. Demand Response in Sales 17:07 Consciousness as a Tool for Transformation Proudly brought to you by Nooks.ai and BDR.ai, we share proven strategies and cutting-edge technologies that enable sales teams to dramatically accelerate outcomes. Learn how to leverage AI, automation, and conversational intelligence to 5X, 10X, or even 100X your impact. The future of sales is here—let's build it together.

When you think of huge advances in digital dentistry, a lot of companies and names come up. But there are two that are really making a huge impact on how we get things done and they continue to do it with the passion of the lab industry supporting it. First up is Björn Zäuner. Björn grew up in a dental family and wanted nothing to do with teeth. We've all heard this story, right? It wasn't long before Björn had a milling center and even an ortho lab. But he noticed that miss mounted cases were a problem and a main cause to most of his remakes. So he developed Bite-Finder to use AI to find the true bite and not the one "captured" with a blue bite or iOS scanner. He talks all about what it is, how it works, how to integrate it, and how you can try it for FREE for 2 weeks. Then we meet the CEO and co-creator of exocad, Tillmann Steinbrecher. We have talked to literally hundreds of people on this podcast that all sing praises for the "purple program" and this time we get to hear the origin story. Tillmann talks about how is started as a research project where he and his partner saw potential for so much more. From walking around IDS 15 years ago with a laptop with a early version to being one of the leaders in dental design, Tillmann in his team has really changed the way labs stay ahead of the every changing workflow. He talks about the early versions, where the name and purple come from, how it's important to stay an open platform, and the importance of user feedback to keep getting better. Take it from Jennifer Ferguson from Ivoclar. If you have a PM7 (https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us/products/digital-equipment/programill-pm7) or are thinking about getting a PM7 (Take it from Barb, you should), Ivoclar had launched the "Ivoclar Block Module" that can speed up milling emax (https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us/products/digital-processes/ips-e.max-cad) by 45%!!
