What if everything you know about reality, intelligence, science, aliens, and even your own body…is wrong? In this mind-expanding conversation of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Stephen Wolfram — the legendary computer scientist, theoretical physicist, mathematician, founder of Wolfram Research — reveals how the groundbreaking technologies he created are re-shaping our understanding of the universe itself. We dive into the limits of science, the secrets of biological evolution, and why computational irreducibility may explain why some mysteries of nature can never be predicted, only experienced. Dr. Wolfram breaks down whether his computations suggest humanity is cosmically significant…or completely insignificant in a universe built from the same atoms repeating the same rules everywhere. Discover why the objective reality you experience as a human might be totally different for other species, and why this could be the key to understanding alien intelligence, extrasensory perception, and why there might be alien minds all around us right now that we simply can't perceive. Dr. Stephen Wolfram also breaks down: - Does the body have its own language? (And, if so, what autoimmune disease might be “saying") - What can truly be built from random mutation, and why evolution even works at all - How reductionist science is limiting medicine, and how living matter actually behaves - Why AI may function as an alien mind, and what that reveals about the shocking simplicity of human language - What makes the human mind special, how we evolved this way, and why that very fact proves we are not the most advanced species possible - Do computers use a form of telepathy to communicate with one another? He even takes us behind the scenes of his work as a consultant on the hit film ARRIVAL, explaining how alien logograms connect to his research on how language shapes human thought, what abstract concepts a bigger brain could comprehend, and what kinds of ideas we might be biologically incapable of imagining. If you're fascinated by astrophysics, AI, consciousness, aliens, evolution, mathematics, language, or the limits of human understanding, this episode of MBB will challenge everything you think you know!

New @greenpillnet pod out today!
Between Erwin Broers & Paul Asbury Seaman I have been exposed to a ton of excellent berlin-school music over the last couple years. Erwin continues his great string of mixes with this new one featuring the music of Wolfram Spyra. I was totally unfamiliar with this music before hearing this mix and now I'm thankful for the introduction. Here's what Erwin says about this mix: "In the mid-1990s, when interest for 'Kosmische Musik' (German)/'Cosmic Music' (English) regained, some Electronic Music artists chose to dig deeper into that first highly creative era, hence starting the 'Retro Berlin School' subgenre. Other artists merely borrowed certain elements (multi-facetted sequencing, layered soundscapes, space fx, Mellotron choirs,...) and then added their own spices to the sauce. One of the artists that managed to create his own style of contemporary "Berlin School Electronic Music" is the German Fine Arts student (then), and musician, inventor and sound designer (now, dixit his own website) Wolfram Spyra (Kassel, 1964), aka "Der Spyra" or simply "Spyra". His style is somewhere between floating, rhythmic, meditative, downtempo and groovy, yes almost danceable. A very interesting blend of old skool and modern electronic ingredients! This mix is a chronological overview of 20 years of releases from 1997 till 2018." More information: Discogs: www.discogs.com/artist/13462-Spyra Website: www.derspyra.de Bandcamp: wolframspyra.bandcamp.com Thanks for another great mix! Cheers!

A contract forged in grief. A butler who never misses. And a comeback that turns a stylish mystery into a gothic epic. We take you through Black Butler's evolution with fresh eyes, from the early setup to Book of Circus, the razor-edged Book of Murder, and the kinetic spectacle of Book of the Atlantic. Along the way, we unpack why Ciel's resolve still stings, how Sebastian's charm doubles as a threat, and why the servants' quiet loyalty is the beating heart of the manor.Circus is where the series sharpens: missing children, exploited performers, and an order that forces a boy to choose consequence over comfort. The OVA's murder game tests his standing with the Crown while sneaking Snake into the family. Then Atlantic blows the doors off: Undertaker revealed, Bizarre Dolls defined, and a fight that reframes death as an editable file. It's not just action; it's philosophy with a scalpel. We also talk Lizzy's transformation from ribbons to swordplay, Soma and Agni's warmth, and Lau and Ran-Mao's dangerous poise.Public School plays with British prestige while showing how institutions hide rot, stitching the film's revelations back into canon so the plot flows. Emerald Witch might be the most elegant con yet: werewolves as cover for chemical warfare, a prodigy caged by a fairy tale, and Ciel's trauma flaring into a psychological blindfold. Sullivan and Wolfram complicate the ledger with real tenderness, even as Sebastian reminds us a futureless soul is a meal not worth savoring. Finally, we tease the manga's Blue arcs—identity, twins, revenge—and what that means for the Phantomhive name, Undertaker's long game, and the next wave of adaptation.If Black Butler hooked you years ago or you've just leapt aboard with the new seasons, this deep dive gives you context, character insight, and a clear path through the canon.

Hey ya'll, Happy Thanskgiving to everyone who celebrates and thank you for being a subscriber, I truly appreciate each and every one of you!Just wrapped up the third (1, 2) Thanksgiving special Episode of ThursdAI, can you believe November is almost over? We had another banger week in AI, with a full feast of AI released, Anthropic dropped the long awaited Opus 4.5, which quickly became the top coding LLM, DeepSeek resurfaced with a math model, BFL and Tongyi both tried to take on Nano Banana, and Microsoft dropped a 7B computer use model in Open Source + Intellect 3 from Prime Intellect! With so much news to cover, we also had an interview with Ido Sal & Liad Yosef (their second time on the show!) about MCP-Apps, the new standard they are spearheading together with Anthropic, OpenAI & more! Exciting episode, let's get into it! (P.S - I started generating infographics, so the show became much more visual, LMK if you like them) ThursdAI - I put a lot of work on a weekly basis to bring you the live show, podcast and a sourced newsletter! Please subscribe if you find this content valuable!Anthropic's Opus 4.5: The “Premier Intelligence” Returns (Blog)Folks, Anthropic absolutely cooked. After Sonnet and Haiku had their time in the sun, the big brother is finally back. Opus 4.5 launched this week, and it is reclaiming the throne for coding and complex agentic tasks.First off, the specs are monstrous. It hits 80.9% on SWE-bench Verified, topping GPT-5.1 (77.9%) and Gemini 3 Pro (76.2%). But the real kicker? The price! It is now $5 per million input tokens and $25 per million output—literally one-third the cost of the previous Opus.Yam, our resident coding wizard, put it best during the show: “Opus knows a lot of tiny details about the stack that you didn't even know you wanted... It feels like it can go forever.” Unlike Sonnet, which sometimes spirals or loses context on extremely long tasks, Opus 4.5 maintains coherence deep into the conversation.Anthropic also introduced a new “Effort” parameter, allowing you to control how hard the model thinks (similar to o1 reasoning tokens). Set it to high, and you get massive performance gains; set it to medium, and you get Sonnet-level performance at a fraction of the token cost. Plus, they've added Tool Search (cutting enormous token overhead for agents with many tools) and Programmatic Tool Calling, which effectively lets Opus write and execute code loops to manage data.If you are doing heavy software engineering or complex automations, Opus 4.5 is the new daily driver.

It Happened To Me: A Rare Disease and Medical Challenges Podcast
In this insightful episode of It Happened To Me, hosts Beth Glassman and Cathy Gildenhorn (in a rare guest role!) sit down with Dr. Rachel Hyman, a clinical psychologist from Seattle whose experience with Wolfram syndrome was recently featured in The Washington Post here. Wolfram syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that affects vision, blood sugar regulation, and neurological function. Often diagnosed in childhood, it can present very differently from one person to another, and in this episode, we hear from two women living with a milder, adult-onset form of the condition, most common among those of Ashkenazi Jewish descent. Rachel and Cathy open up about the long diagnostic odyssey, early symptoms that were misunderstood, and how it feels to finally have a genetic explanation after years of uncertainty. They share how they've each learned to adapt, from managing diabetes and vision loss to embracing new technologies that restore independence. Their stories highlight the power of self-advocacy, medical persistence, and community, reminding listeners that awareness is often the first step toward better care and future research. In This Episode, You'll Learn: What Wolfram syndrome is and how symptoms are on a spectrum Rachel's diagnostic journey from gestational diabetes to genetic confirmation Cathy's daily strategies for living with vision loss, pre-diabetes, and sensory changes The role of technology and accessibility tools in maintaining independence How emotional resilience and community support help patients face uncertain prognoses The critical importance of genetic testing and awareness for rare neurodegenerative diseases Hope for the future of Wolfram research and patient advocacy About the Guests Dr. Rachel Hyman Rachel Hyman is a clinical psychologist based in the Seattle area. She specializes in working with older teens and young adults navigating anxiety and depression and serves as adjunct faculty at Antioch University, where she supervises doctoral students in psychology. Rachel's personal journey with Wolfram syndrome was featured in The Washington Post, shedding light on this underrecognized condition and the importance of accurate genetic diagnosis. Cathy Gildenhorn Usually behind the mic as co-host of It Happened To Me, Cathy joins this episode as a guest to share her own journey with Wolfram syndrome. She has devoted much of her life to improving the lives of others and connecting women to Jewish life and each other. She has served on several local, national and international boards and currently serves on the board of the Florence Melton School of Adult Jewish Learning. Cathy also served as presidential appointee to the United States Holocaust Memorial Council. While a council member, she worked on the opening of the museum.

Vampire sind los: Der Aufstieg des Hochstaplers Wolfram Weimer Da inszeniert sich ein Politiker als Bewahrer von Anstand und Kultur, gibt sich als letzter ehrlicher Mensch aus, der dem Medienbetrieb helfen will. Zuletzt geigt er auf der Frankfurter Buchmesse bösen amerikanischen Techkonzernen die Meinung, bezichtigt sie wie Google des Vampirismus, also als diejenigen, die brave Autoren aussaugen. Jetzt entpuppt sich durch Zufall derjenige selbst als Vampir. Auf seiner Plattform The European hat er Hunderte Texte gestohlen, prominente Namen missbraucht und Werbekunden getäuscht – darunter sogar Papst Franziskus und Alice Weidel. Er steckt selbst tief in einem Geflecht aus Täuschung und Urheberrechtsverletzungen: vom derzeitigen Kulturstaatssekretär Wolfram Weimer ist die Rede. Er steht im Zentrum eines Skandals, der inzwischen politische Dimensionen erreicht. Ein Gespräch mit Roland Tichy über den Mann, der als moralische Instanz auftritt, sich aber an fremdem Geist und Geld bereichert – und der als Staatssekretär im Kabinett von Friedrich Merz nun auch über Steuermittel verfügt. Eine Geschichte über Hochstapelei, Macht und die erstaunliche Geduld der Politik in der Berliner Republik.

"Es ist das beste Amt der ganzen Bundesregierung", sagt Wolfram Weimer über sein Amt als Kulturstaatsminister. Weil man so viel bewirken kann, so viel anschieben.Auch im "ntv Salon" gibt sich Weimer betont optimistisch: "Wir Deutschen sind manchmal auch verliebt in Depressionen, das gehört zu unserem faustischen Naturell", sagt er. "Aber wir haben Comeback-Qualitäten der ungeahnten Art, über Jahrhunderte übrigens. Im nächsten Jahr kriegen wir einen Aufschwung."Größere Sorgenfalten verursachen bei ihm die amerikanische Meinungsmacht im Netz und der Einfluss von Algorithmen auf die politische Willensbildung. Weimer ist überzeugt, dass die großen Plattformen und Tech-Unternehmen politisch eingefangen werden müssen: "Du kannst Monopole nicht dulden, weil sie den Wettbewerb unterbinden, in diesem Fall auch den Meinungswettbewerb", sagt Weimer. "Selbst Marktwirtschaftler wie Ludwig Erhard hätten gesagt: Wir müssen Google zerschlagen."Worum ging es noch im "ntv Salon"? Julia Ruhs und den NDR und Israel und den ESC. Auch das fehlende Wertezentrum der AfD war Thema: "Der moralische Kern der AfD ist das Ressentiment, das ist die eigentliche Brandmauer für die CDU", sagt Weimer. Und sagt trotz aller gegenteiligen Umfragen voraus: "In drei Jahren wird die AfD bei 9 Prozent stehen."Gast?

Visit https://www.economist.com/toe In this episode, I speak with Stephen Wolfram—creator of Mathematica and Wolfram Language—about a “new kind of science” that treats the universe as computation. We explore computational irreducibility, discrete space, multi-way systems, and how the observer shapes the laws we perceive—from the second law of thermodynamics to quantum mechanics. Wolfram reframes Feynman diagrams as causal structures, connects evolution and modern AI through coarse fitness and assembled “lumps” of computation, and sketches a nascent theory of biology as bulk orchestration. We also discuss what makes science good: new tools, ruthless visualization, respect for history, and a field he calls “ruliology”—the study of simple rules, where anyone can still make real contributions. This is basically a documentary akin to The Life and Times of Stephen Wolfram. I hope you enjoy it.

100 Jahre Schweizer Hörspiel: Die Spatzen pfeifen's von den Dächern! «Was, wenn Menschen Vögel wären?» fragt dieses Hörspiel – und erzählt von schrägen Vögeln, ja von einem ganzen Vogelhaus: Ein Haus bewohnt von Rabeneltern und Kuckuckskindern, von Paradiesvögeln und Drecksspatzen. Autor Wolfram Höll und Musikerin Barblina Meierhans bauen ein Vogelhaus. Es ist ein Haus aus Geschichten: Wie die Geschichte von den Eltern, die immer auf Achse sind, um die hungrigen Münder zu stopfen; die nach mehr schreien, nach immer mehr, ohne Ende. Oder die Geschichte von den Geschwistern, die eins nach dem anderen aus dem Fenster fallen - alle, bis auf eines.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Juan Samitier, co-founder of DAMM Capital, for a wide-ranging conversation on decentralized insurance, treasury management, and the evolution of finance on-chain. Together they explore the risks of smart contracts and hacks, the role of insurance in enabling institutional capital to enter crypto, and historical parallels from Amsterdam's spice trade to Argentina's corralito. The discussion covers stablecoins like DAI, MakerDAO's USDS, and the collapse of Luna, as well as the dynamics of yield, black swan events, and the intersection of DeFi with AI, prediction markets, and tokenized assets. You can find Juan on Twitter at @JuanSamitier and follow DAMM Capital at @DAMM_Capital.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:05 Stewart Alsop introduces Juan Samitier, who shares his background in asset management and DeFi, setting up the conversation on decentralized insurance.00:10 They discuss Safu, the insurance protocol Juan designed, and why hedging smart contract risk is key for asset managers deploying capital in DeFi.00:15 The focus shifts to hacks, audits, and why even fully audited code can still fail, bringing up historical parallels to ships, pirates, and early insurance models.00:20 Black swan events, risk models, and the limits of statistics are explored, along with reflections on Wolfram's ideas and the Ascent of Money.00:25 They examine how TradFi is entering crypto, the dominance of centralized stablecoins, and regulatory pushes like the Genius Act.00:30 DAI's design, MakerDAO's USDS, and Luna's collapse are explained, tying into the Great Depression, Argentina's corralito, and trust in money.00:35 Juan recounts his path from high school trading shitcoins to managing Kleros' treasury, while Stewart shares parallels with dot-com bubbles and Webvan.00:40 The conversation turns to tokenized assets, lending markets, and why stablecoin payments may be DeFi's Trojan horse for TradFi adoption.00:45 They explore interest rates, usury, and Ponzi dynamics, comparing Luna's 20% yields with unsustainable growth models in tech and crypto.00:50 Airdrops, VC-funded incentives, and short-term games are contrasted with building long-term financial infrastructure on-chain.00:55 Stewart brings up crypto as Venice in 1200, leading into reflections on finance as an information system, the rise of AI, and DeFi agents.01:00 Juan explains tokenized hedge funds, trusted execution environments, and prediction markets, ending with the power of conditional markets and the future of betting on beliefs.Key InsightsOne of the biggest risks in decentralized finance isn't just market volatility but the fragility of smart contracts. Juan Samitier emphasized that even with million-dollar audits, no code can ever be guaranteed safe, which is why hedging against hacks is essential for asset managers who want institutional capital to enter crypto.Insurance has always been about spreading risk, from 17th century spice ships facing pirates to DeFi protocols facing hackers. The same logic applies today: traders and treasuries are willing to sacrifice a small portion of yield to ensure that catastrophic losses won't wipe out their entire investment.Black swan events expose the limits of financial models, both in traditional finance and crypto. Juan pointed out that while risk models try to account for extreme scenarios, including every possible tail risk makes insurance math break down—a tension that shows why decentralized insurance is still early but necessary.Stablecoins emerged as crypto's attempt to recreate the dollar, but their design choices determine resilience. MakerDAO's DAI and USDS use overcollateralization for stability, while Luna's algorithmic model collapsed under pressure. These experiments mirror historical monetary crises like the Great Depression and Argentina's corralito, reminding us that trust in money is fragile.Argentina's history of inflation and government-imposed bank freezes makes its citizens uniquely receptive to crypto. Samitier explained that even people without financial training understand macroeconomic risks because they live with them daily, which helps explain why Argentina has some of the world's highest adoption of stablecoins and DeFi tools.The path to mainstream DeFi adoption may lie in the intersection of tokenized real-world assets, lending markets, and stablecoin payments. TradFi institutions are already asking how retail users access cheaper loans on-chain, showing that DeFi's efficiency could become the Trojan horse that pulls traditional finance deeper into crypto rails.Looking forward, the fusion of AI with DeFi may transform finance into an information-driven ecosystem. Trusted execution environments, prediction markets, and conditional markets could allow agents to trade on beliefs and probabilities with transparency, blending deterministic blockchains with probabilistic AI—a glimpse of what financial Venice in the information age might look like.
There's a lot to process with season 5 of "Angel": the gang is now working at Wolfram & Hart, Ashley's favorite lawyer Lindsey is back to stir up trouble, Illyria spoils the vibe, and best of all...
Dr. Wolfram Goessling, Andrew Wagner, Olivia, Brittany, Joshua, and Owen Kazanjian, Hunter Henry, and Howes Products join the show on Day One of the WEEI/NESN Jimmy Fund Radio-Telethon
First, zombie cop cuties stalk the streets of LA in navy blue booties. Wesley puts his life on the line daring them to lock him up and is shocked when they shoot him, a white man! While Gunn and Cordelia try to save his life and simultaneously defend Anne's shelter, Angel relies on Kate to help him understand this new menace. Then, when Angel learns of a 75-year review conducted by the Senior Partners that has all of Wolfram & Hart spooked, he sees it as an opportunity to take the fight to them. Darla has other ideas. Angel takes the elevator ride of his life, and what he learns leaves him shaken to his core, just in time for Darla to stir up his passions. Coverage of “Reprise” starts at 54:45. Hear us discuss… Wesley, when we said “check your white privilege,” this is not what we meant Kate redemption arc CANCELLED We love the Gunn split loyalties arc Somebody call Lagos; we found a second glove of Myneghon!! Poor Angel learning elevators don't always solve his problems Trigger warnings Gun violence, police brutality, racism
Wolfram Weimer ist seit 100 Tagen als Kulturstaatsminister im Amt. Als Beauftragter für ein konservatives Weltbild hat er geliefert, meint Stefan Koldehoff. Bei der Sachpolitik fällt seine Bilanz dürftig aus: Bislang ist er ein Ankündigungsminister. Koldehoff, Stefan www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Fazit
What happens when a world-class mathematician meets '80s college radio, Bill Gates' top-10 favorite books, and a host with an algebra redemption arc? A surprisingly funny, fast-moving conversation. Dr. Jordan Ellenberg—John D. MacArthur Professor of Mathematics at UW–Madison and author of How Not to Be Wrong—swaps stories about The Housemartins, consulting on NUMB3RS (yes, one of his lines aired), and competing at the International Mathematical Olympiad. There's a lot of laughter—and a fresh way to see math as culture, craft, and curiosity.But we also get practical about math education. We discuss the love/hate split students have for math and what it implies for curriculum design; a century of “new” methods (and if anything is truly new); how movie tropes (Good Will Hunting, etc.) shape student identity in math; soccer-drills vs scrimmage as a frame for algebra practice and “honest” applications; grades as feedback vs record; AI shifting what counts as computation vs math; why benchmarks miss the point and the risk of lowering writing standards with LLMs; and a preview of Jordan's pro-uncertainty thesis.Listen to Learn: A better answer to “Why am I learning this?” using a soccer analogyThe two big off-ramps of math for students, and tactics that keep more students on boardHow to replace the “born genius” myth with a mindset that helps any student do mathWhen a grade is a record vs. a motivator, and a simple replacement policy that turns a rough start into effort and growthWhat AI will and won't change in math class, and why “does it help create new math?” matters more than benchmark scores3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Math mastery comes from practice plus meaning, not a “born genius.” Jordan puts it plainly: “genius is a thing that happens, not a kind of person,” and he uses the soccer drills vs scrimmage analogy to pair targeted practice with real tasks, with algebraic manipulation as a core high school skill. He urges teachers to “throw a lot of spaghetti at the wall” so different explanations land for different students, because real innovation is iterative and cooperative.2. Students fall off at fractions and Algebra I. How do we pull them back? Jordan names those two moments as the big off-ramps and points to multiple representations, honest applications, and frequent low‑stakes practice to keep kids in. Matt's own algebra story shows how a replacement policy turned failure into effort and persistence, reframing grades as motivation rather than just record‑keeping.3. AI will shift our capabilities and limits in math, but math is still a human task. Calculators and Wolfram already do student‑level work, and Jordan argues benchmarks like DeepMind vs the International Mathematical Olympiad matter less than whether tools help create new mathematics. He also warns against letting LLMs lower writing standards and says the real test is whether these systems add substantive math, not just win contests.Resources in this Episode:Visit Jordan Ellenberg's website! jordanellenberg.comRead How Not to Be Wrong: The Power of Mathematical ThinkingWe want to hear from you!

Well Pixie Dusters, it's time to face the Fake Cordelia head on, because today your favorite hosts are talking about "Angel" season 4. Ashley couldn't even finish it after the Scene-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named. This season just feels disjointed and even Angelus wasn't the same. There are some highlights (Episode 6 "Spin the Bottle," Andy Hallett is now a series regular, and Faith is back, as examples) but overall it's best to just put this season in the past and get ready to move on to...Wolfram & Hart?Follow your new Disney besties on Instagram @pixiedusttwinspodcast and on TikTok @pixiedusttwinspodcastFollow Dan, honorary third host of the "Pixie Dust Twins" Podcast, and King of the Manifestos: @Dantaastic on Instagram and YouTubeHave ideas for the show?

First, Angel stalks another blonde from Sunnydale after discovering that Wolfram & Hart launders money through her youth shelter. When an old enemy tracks Angel down to LA, everything aligns for an epic con. Meanwhile, Cordelia, Wesley, and Gunn locate a new office. Then, when physics graduate student's experiment threatens to end the world, Angel and Lorne team up and go undercover on campus. It remains to be seen who's the bigger enemy: the Six Flags demons who will stop at nothing to see this apocalypse happen, or the misogyny making it possible. Meanwhile, thanks to Virginia, the new Angel Investigations has its first case. Coverage of “Happy Anniversary” starts at 43:50. Hear us discuss… Anne is a delightful deep cut When will Lindsey and Lilah do lawyer things again?? No one at this university cares about health and safety Gene should hang out with Jonathan Is Wesley … good at his job? Trigger warnings Misogyny, suicide

Kulturstaatsminister Wolfram Weimer hat Formen des Genderns in seiner Behörde verboten. Begründet wird das mit vermeintlicher Bevormundung bei der Sprache. Dass das widersprüchlich ist, stört Weimer nicht. Ihm geht es um einen Kulturkampf. Fries, Stefan www.deutschlandfunk.de, Kommentare und Themen der Woche
First, Drusilla reunites Darla with immortality over Angel's strenuous objections and they go on a rampage. Wolfram & Hart's lawyers watch with glee until they land in Darla's chaotic sights. Wesley, Cordelia, and Gunn adjust to unemployment somewhere that is not this episode. Then, the Dork Avenger RISES! Through montages and voiceovers, he makes the city safe again. He's not ready. Then he's ready. Then he's not ready some more. Wesley, Cordelia, and Gunn get back in the action. Coverage of “Redefinition” starts at 48:40. Hear us discuss… Oh, suddenly you're against massacres when you're the victim? Whomst among us hasn't sacrificed a basement full of lawyers? Kate redemption arc confirmed Lindsey and Angel, just kisssss already Can Angel ever top this Kool-Aid man entrance? Trigger warnings Mass death, neck snapping
Ready for some serious brooding, Pixie Dusters? It's time for "Angel" season 2, featuring the always frightening Darla, angry Angel, and Ashley's favorite Wolfram & Hart lawyer, Lindsey.
