Emma Bostian joins a group of veteran hosts to play a game of fake definitions. They discuss topics such as serverless Postgres, security concerns with open source dependencies, and a tool called Sock for security monitoring and configuring. The episode concludes with the announcement of the winner and gratitude for the sponsors.

Heikki Linnakangas, Robert Aboukhalil, and Scott Ford discuss Neon, bringing desktop apps to the web with WASM, the future of Postgres, innovative application monitoring, bioinformatics and web assembly, emulating BIOS, open source dependency security, bug fixing as a business, supply chain attacks, and looking ahead to the new year.

Filippo Valsorda, Roland Shoemaker, and Nicola Murino from the Go Team are back to catch us up on what's new in Go's crypto libraries. They discuss transitioning from pre-quantum to post-quantum cryptography, the performance impact of Chateree on common operations, implementing a new extension to the OpenSSH protocol, challenges in the SSH world, their unpopular opinions, and even their cooking abilities and kitchen setups.

Casper, contributor to the new open source AI book from PremAI, discusses key categories to navigate the open source AI ecosystem, including fine-tuning and vector DBs. The speakers explore AI models, language models, and the importance of framing topics in open source AI. They also encourage listeners to get involved in the open source AI community.

Researchers test open source language models and their success in achieving parity with chat GPT on certain tasks. SQLite's JSON functions are rewritten. Ratatui, a rust crate for TUIs, is introduced. A complex app built in vanilla JS is presented as a case study. Headscale is an open source, self-hosted implementation of the Tailscale control server.

In this podcast, the hosts discuss API design, including what makes a good API and why we often do REST wrong. They also explore the concept of HATEOAS and whether GraphQL is a solid choice. Other topics include the benefits of Neon, a serverless Postgres service, the advantages of hypermedia APIs, and the challenges of rewriting a music streaming app from a flash-based player to HTML5. They wrap up with plans for future episodes and sponsorship mentions.

Guest: Gregg Tavares, author of WebGL/WebGPU Fundamentals. Topics: Low-level technologies pushing the web into video games & machine learning, web development with WebGL and WebGPU, comparison and use cases of HTML rendering engines and WebGL/WebGPU, user consent for heavy compute on devices, getting started with WebGL and WebGPU, appreciation for Greg's work on gpufundamentals.org, podcasts as a medium for technology discussion.

Drew DeVault, creator of the Hare programming language, discusses the language's aim to be a 100-year language, the importance of open source, fostering cultural stability, and crafting effective interfaces in systems programming. They also touch on topics such as modern developer tools, Postgres, creating a stable programming language, and the challenges of attracting users who prioritize stability over new features.

In this podcast, the hosts discuss the problems arising from the use of machine learning algorithms in welfare systems across Europe. They explore 'suspicion machines' that generate suspicion of certain groups in need of welfare benefits. The podcast also delves into a case study on a model deployed by Rotterdam to detect fraud, including the limitations of the dataset and the impact of being flagged for investigation. The speakers discuss the process of building a predictive model for Rotterdam and the challenges and questions surrounding systems with probabilistic assessment.

Robin Berjon tries to formalize a name for those who can’t be named, Amy Lai tells the tale of the weirdest bug she’s ever seen & Facundo Olano trumps the “code is read more than written” cliche with his own: “code is run more than read.”
