2025/06/13

Welcome back to One Minute Insights. Today we peek behind the curtain of Steve Jobs’s legendary 2005 Stanford commencement speech. Just days before the ceremony, Jobs confessed to his friend Michael Hawley, “It’s embarrassing. I’m just not good at this sort of speech. I never do it. I’ll send you something, but please don’t puke.” Yet within that awkward draft lay three simple stories: connecting the dots by looking backward, finding love through loss, and embracing death as a driver of

2025/06/11

Hello and welcome to Tech Update. Apple’s WWDC 2025 came and went with surprisingly little AI fanfare. While Google strutted out new Gemini features and video generation tools at I/O, Apple unveiled an AI health coach, Visual Intelligence to analyze your screen, and Genmoji. Any promise of an AI-supercharged Siri went missing. In a Wall Street Journal interview, Apple’s Craig Federighi admitted, “We want to do this the right way,” adding that they need to have “it very much in hand before

Welcome to The Pragmatic Engineer Podcast. I’m your host, and today we’re diving into an inspiring conversation with Kent Beck, the pioneer of Test-Driven Development. Kent reminds us that “tests aren’t just a safety net, they’re a design tool,” helping us shape cleaner, more maintainable code from the very first line. We explore how TDD has evolved since its inception—how writing that first failing test gives you immediate feedback and forces you to think about behavior before

The Hidden Costs of AI: Unpacking Sam Altman's Claims...

2025/06/11

Hello and welcome. Today we’re examining claims by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman about ChatGPT’s energy and water footprint. Altman wrote that a single prompt uses “0.34 Wh… equivalent to what a high-efficiency lightbulb would use in a couple of minutes” and needs “0.000085 gallons of water, roughly one-fifteenth of a teaspoon.” But Gizmodo notes he offered no evidence. Independent studies suggest GPT-3 could consume about half a liter of water for every 10 to 50 queries. Multiply that by hundreds

Hello, I’m your host, and here’s the latest in U.S.-China trade. President Donald Trump has announced on Truth Social that the long-running trade war is over, thanks to a new deal ensuring Americans get reliable access to rare earth materials, maintaining U.S. tariffs at 55 percent total and even allowing American universities to continue accepting Chinese students. Trump stressed that the agreement is “still subject to final approval” by himself and Chinese President Xi Jinping. Of that 55

Welcome back to Tech Minute. Today we’re talking about a trend that’s taking the developer world by storm: AI wrapper apps. These simple front-ends paired with powerful AI APIs are “quietly making millions” every month. Imagine taking a sleek web or mobile interface, plugging in ChatGPT or a similar service, and watching revenue skyrocket. Some of these apps are now pulling in as much as $27 million a month without any complex infrastructure. The barrier to entry? Almost nonexistent. As the

Today we’re talking about Apple’s visionOS 26 update and its newly improved Personas. For months, our author’s Slack avatar was a screenshot of their “incredibly cursed Vision Pro persona” — hair like a solid block, head cocked back, cackling into the pixelated void. But after Apple announced better floating avatars, they finally created one — and the end result is “vastly improved.” Hair now looks like hair, you can see eyelashes and skin texture, and “it was even able to capture my nose

The Benefits of Bare Root Plants for Your Garden...

2025/06/11

Welcome back to the Lifehacker gardening podcast. Today we’re talking about why I buy bare root plants instead of those pretty, flowering potted specimens. Bare root plants, as the article explains, “lack much in the way of branches—they tend to be just the root ball out of soil.” That means you’re shipping and handling only the plant’s energy source, not heavy pots and extra soil, so prices can be just a fraction of what you’ll pay at a nursery. For example, bare root roses go for four to

Welcome back to Even Better, I’m your host [Name]. What if we treated our friendships with the same devotion we give our marriage? Too often, friends slip to the bottom of our priority list as we settle into committed relationships. But research shows nurturing those bonds can actually strengthen your marriage. As one expert in the article puts it, friendships “aren’t maintenance-free,” but they offer distinct emotional support and honesty you might not get at home.Couples who encourage

Understanding Dew Point Why Meteorologists Trust It...

2025/06/11

Welcome to Weather Insights. I’m your host, and today we tackle the question: Why do meteorologists prefer dew point over relative humidity? The dew point is “quite literally the point at which the air becomes dewy, wet, saturated.” Cold air holds less water vapor, so dew points stay low in winter. Warm air holds more, so summer dew points climb and it feels muggy. Relative humidity, by contrast, is “roughly equal to the dew point divided by the air temperature,” multiplied by 100. That

Hello and welcome to AI Insights. Today we’re talking about a San Francisco start-up with a bold mission: automating white-collar work. The company is called Mechanize, and its founders—Matthew Barnett, Tamay Besiroglu and Ege Erdil—say they want to replace jobs “as fast as possible.” A few years ago, tech leaders insisted AI was just a helpful assistant, designed to augment human labor. Now AI systems can write software, draft detailed research reports and even solve complex math and

Today we’re revisiting an encore episode called “The $50 That Changed My Life.” Think about it: “What’s one task you dread so much that it always sinks to the bottom of your to-do list?” For Thanh, it was two small but draining chores. He decided to outsource them for just fifty dollars a month. The result? More focus, more joy, and an extra block of time each week for high-impact work. Thanh walks us through his personal outsourcing system,

Welcome to Opera Spotlight. Today we head behind the scenes at Lincoln Center, where the Metropolitan Opera’s hidden stage door welcomed a very different crowd: children ages seven to ten clutching stuffed rabbits and “Frozen” backpacks. Dressed in patent leather shoes, frilly socks and dinosaur-decorated jackets, they came from all over New York City and its suburbs, united by a dream—to join the Met Children’s Chorus. “This might be the biggest day of my life,” nine-year-old Naomi Lu

Hello and welcome to Cosmic Frontiers. Today, we’re diving into how astronomers are using artificial intelligence to unlock the secrets of supermassive black holes. Telescopes alone can’t yet reveal all the details of these cosmic monsters, so an international team turned to a neural network. As WIRED reports, they “trained a neural network with millions of black hole simulations” to “interpret fuzzy data captured from these enigmatic space objects in real life.” The AI learns to map blurry

Welcome back to Wired’s Quick Cast. Today, we’re diving into the story of Ross Minor—a man who lost his sight at age four but never lost his passion for video games. Ross grew up watching his friends play, and he refused to let blindness sideline him. “I want to be able to game however anybody else can,” he says. So he hacked his own controllers, swapping buttons, adding audio cues, even rigging tactile markers so he could feel exactly what was happening on screen. Thanks to those

Welcome back to One Minute Economics. Today we’re debunking the myth that factory work is the comeback hero of American jobs. President Trump has warned workers have “watched in anguish as foreign leaders have stolen our jobs, foreign cheaters have ransacked our factories,” and his trade adviser promises to “fill up all of the half-empty factories.” Even Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick envisions “millions and millions of human beings screwing in little screws to make iPhones” right here

In rural West Tennessee, Ford is investing more than $5.6 billion in a new electric vehicle assembly plant called BlueOval City. Spanning six square miles and expected to create over 6,000 jobs, it’s being hailed as the most modern automotive facility since Ford pioneered the assembly line. But perhaps the most transformative element isn’t the plant itself—it’s a 3,600-square-foot former schoolhouse in the nearby town of Stanton. Once a segregated community school, the building sat
