From 🇮🇱 אחד ביום (Echad Ba'Yom), published at 2026-01-04 03:00

Last week, protests and demonstrations broke out in almost 30 locations in Iran. This happened in large cities, and smaller ones, even in strongholds of the regime. But the anger of the protesters is not new; it has been accumulating for years. And like in previous waves of protest, this time too, in the world and in Israel, people are asking if this is the moment when the Iranian people will be free. This time we are with Dr. Raz Zimmt, Director of the Iran Program and the Shiite Axis at the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) and a researcher at the Alliance Center for Iranian Studies at Tel Aviv University - and what is similar and different in the wave of protests sweeping across all of Iran. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Venezuela invaded by Trump and the deposition of Maduro

From 🇧🇷 O Assunto, published at 2026-01-04 02:19

Guests: Leonardo Trevisan, professor of International Relations at ESPM; and Oliver Stuenkel, professor of International Relations at FGV and researcher at Harvard University and the Carnegie Endowment. NOTICE: O Assunto returns with a new episode on Tuesday, January 6. Saturday, January 3, 2026. Still in the early hours of the morning, an operation with US elite troops captured Nicolás Maduro inside a military complex in the capital Caracas. Maduro, who had governed Venezuela for 12 years, was caught along with his wife and later taken to the US, where, according to local authorities, he will be tried for narcoterrorism and three other crimes. Trump's attack was launched after months of escalating tension in the Caribbean. Since August, the US had conducted maritime operations near the Venezuelan coast, and Trump had repeatedly threatened the now-deposed regime. The US president's action was criticized by the Brazilian government and several countries but received support from some leaders, such as Argentina's Javier Milei. In this special episode, Natuza Nery hosts Leonardo Trevisan, professor of International Relations at ESPM, and Oliver Stuenkel, professor of International Relations at FGV and researcher at Harvard University and the Carnegie Endowment. Leonardo explains which international agreements Trump disrespected by invading Venezuelan territory, capturing Maduro, and taking him to the US. The ESPM professor assesses Trump's real interests in Venezuela, starting with oil – for him, Maduro served as a "trophy" for Trump. Leonardo answers what might happen from now on. Oliver analyzes how Brazil's relationship with Trump will be after the US invasion of a Latin American country and the position of the world's great powers and their areas of influence. He also explains why it is possible to consider that the events unfolding this January 3 usher in a new era in the history of geopolitics.

Extra: US attacks Venezuela, Maduro arrested

From 🇳🇱 Boekestijn en De Wijk, published at 2026-01-03 17:51

America has carried out an attack on Venezuela. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has been arrested, along with his wife. President Trump announced this. In this special news broadcast, Mark Beekhuis speaks with foreign affairs commentator Bernard Hammelburg and other guests. Also read | Liveblog Venezuela America correspondent Jan Postma follows Trump's speech with us and explains how America is reacting to this action. In Venezuela itself, people are happy, but also concerned about what is to come, explains Dutch-Venezuelan Hilde van de Wel-Gonzalez. And professor of war studies Frans Osinga describes how America set up this operation. It is also clear that this action is not permissible under international law, notes associate professor Marieke de Hoon of the University of Amsterdam. In the region itself, it is still remarkably calm, notes Curaçao correspondent Oscar van Dam. The carnival season simply begins there today. Nevertheless, Van Dam and VVD foreign affairs spokesperson Eric van der Burg explain what the Netherlands must now do to protect Aruba, Curaçao, and Bonaire.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New exchange rate band scheme in Argentina: the dollar rises and country risk falls

From 🇦🇷 Cara o Ceca, published at 2026-01-02 17:32

The new stage came into effect, in which the Central Bank will update the ceiling of the dollar's flotation band according to the previous month's inflation. With this, it seeks to strengthen the accumulation of reserves and order the external front. "In the agreement Argentina signed with the IMF, the Government failed to meet the reserve accumulation target. In January, the body's third review will take place, where its authorities will demand a commitment to this aspect," said Ramiro Tosi, economist and former Undersecretary of Financing, in a dialogue with Cara o Ceca. "The Treasury and the Central Bank must aim for a much more comfortable reserve position than what we have today," he added. "Surely, the closing inflation for 2025 will be around 31% and in 2026 I don't think it will increase much. So far, the Government has managed to keep the dollar from moving much. With this new scheme, we will see that inflation will go down, but much slower," he concluded. Zohran Mamdani took office as Mayor of New York Mamdani, 34, became the first Muslim to govern the city and took office from the vicinity of City Hall, to highlight his commitment to workers, after a campaign focused on the cost of living. "New York has always been against the American president; a Republican hasn't won in many years," said Mauricio Zabalza, a journalist from that city, on Cara o Ceca. "Mamdani insists that he wants to work for locals and not for tourists. That's why he proposes free transportation. New Yorkers spend around 300 dollars a month on transportation. Furthermore, his goal is to make the city safer," he added.

New Year Livestream | 2026: How to be a good Chinese person?

From 🇨🇳 不明白播客, published at 2026-01-02 16:32

Happy New Year, listeners!This podcast is an edited version of our New Year's live stream. If we were to use one word to describe 2025, many Chinese people might say: "endure." The economic downturn shows no clear turning point, relations between China and many countries remain tense, and the world is clearly deviating from the trajectory we've been familiar with for decades. Frankly, I've rarely felt so uncertain at the beginning of a year about what the world will look like by its end.Precisely for this reason, on the first day of 2026, we don't want to engage in a predictive discussion, much less offer seemingly certain answers. We want to discuss a more fundamental and personal question: In an era of high uncertainty, how should one conduct oneself? When we say "be a good Chinese person," what exactly do we mean? As the world order is being reshaped and identities are constantly being labeled, how can a Chinese person maintain judgment, dignity, and basic human principles in different positions?Today's guests include Li Houchen, the most diligent content creator on the Chinese internet and host of the YouTube channel "Bitter Tea of the World"; Liu Zongkun, the least anxious content creator on the Chinese internet, host of the YouTube channel "The Hiking Rider," and a retired lawyer; and Ya Mei, a talented, brave, and interesting Gen Z journalist.Click to watch the full video replay: https://youtube.com/live/pRdgWtwAPxITimeline02:09 What is one issue where countries are "backsliding" in 2025?05:28 How does Old Liu, the least anxious person on the Chinese internet, view people's anxiety?10:01 Ya Mei discusses the situation and sense of security for a journalist in 202513:55 How do the guests understand "being a good Chinese person"?20:57 Li Houchen forced to pretend to be Japanese in Taiwan?25:47 How do overseas Chinese cope with feeling like "neither here nor there"?32:34 Chinese people easily become part of the state's weaponization37:26 How to understand the shame associated with "pig liver-colored passports"?42:28 Amid economic downturn, how do ordinary people not recognized by the social evaluation system find meaning?45:53 Contemporary young people live in an ultra-high-difficulty environment right after graduation49:23 How to become insulated from the chain of public opinion fraud?52:04 In this era, how to face the political depression brought by clarity?56:52 What can 'run' solve, and what can it not solve?01:01:56 What's behind mourning the Ming Dynasty, the 'kill line,' and the US-China reckoning?01:06:11 Will the Chinese model truly defeat democratic systems?01:16:24 How to connect with like-minded people in an atomized China?01:24:42 Yuan Li and guests' New Year wishes01:30:25 Guest recommendationsGuest recommendations:Epictetus, *The Enchiridion**The Shawshank Redemption**Finding My Japanese Midwife*Yan Geling, *Youth**Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Infinity Castle*Mark L.

[NeurIPS Best Paper] 1000 Layer Networks for Self-Supervised RL — Kevin Wang et al, Princeton

From 🇺🇸 Latent Space: The AI Engineer Podcast, published at 2026-01-02 15:59

From undergraduate research seminars at Princeton to winning Best Paper award at NeurIPS 2025, Kevin Wang, Ishaan Javali, Michał Bortkiewicz, Tomasz Trzcinski, Benjamin Eysenbach defied conventional wisdom by scaling reinforcement learning networks to 1,000 layers deep—unlocking performance gains that the RL community thought impossible. We caught up with the team live at NeurIPS to dig into the story behind RL1000: why deep networks have worked in language and vision but failed in RL for over a decade (spoiler: it's not just about depth, it's about the objective), how they discovered that self-supervised RL (learning representations of states, actions, and future states via contrastive learning) scales where value-based methods collapse, the critical architectural tricks that made it work (residual connections, layer normalization, and a shift from regression to classification), why scaling depth is more parameter-efficient than scaling width (linear vs. quadratic growth), how Jax and GPU-accelerated environments let them collect hundreds of millions of transitions in hours (the data abundance that unlocked scaling in the first place), the "critical depth" phenomenon where performance doesn't just improve—it multiplies once you cross 15M+ transitions and add the right architectural components, why this isn't just "make networks bigger" but a fundamental shift in RL objectives (their code doesn't have a line saying "maximize rewards"—it's pure self-supervised representation learning), how deep teacher, shallow student distillation could unlock deployment at scale (train frontier capabilities with 1000 layers, distill down to efficient inference models), the robotics implications (goal-conditioned RL without human supervision or demonstrations, scaling architecture instead of scaling manual data collection), and their thesis that RL is finally ready to scale like language and vision—not by throwing compute at value functions, but by borrowing the self-supervised, representation-learning paradigms that made the rest of deep learning work. We discuss: The self-supervised RL objective: instead of learning value functions (noisy, biased, spurious), they learn representations where states along the same trajectory are pushed together, states along different trajectories are pushed apart—turning RL into a classification problem Why naive scaling failed: doubling depth degraded performance, doubling again with residual connections and layer norm suddenly skyrocketed performance in one environment—unlocking the "critical depth" phenomenon Scaling depth vs. width: depth grows parameters linearly, width grows quadratically—depth is more parameter-efficient and sample-efficient for the same performance The Jax + GPU-accelerated environments unlock: collecting thousands of trajectories in parallel meant data wasn't the bottleneck, and crossing 15M+ transitions was when deep networks really paid off The blurring of RL and self-supervised learning: their code doesn't maximize rewards directly, it's an actor-critic goal-conditioned RL algorithm, but the learning burden shifts to classification (cross-entropy loss, representation learning) instead of TD error regression Why scaling batch size unlocks at depth: traditional RL doesn't benefit from larger batches because networks are too small to exploit the signal, but once you scale depth, batch size becomes another effective scaling dimension — RL1000 Team (Princeton) 1000 Layer Networks for Self-Supervised RL: Scaling Depth Can Enable New Goal-Reaching Capabilities: https://openreview.net/forum?id=s0JVsx3bx1 Chapters 00:00:00 Introduction: Best Paper Award and NeurIPS Poster Experience 00:01:11 Team Introductions and Princeton Research Origins 00:03:35 The Deep Learning Anomaly: Why RL Stayed Shallow 00:04:35 Self-Supervised RL: A Different Approach to Scaling 00:05:13 The Breakthrough Moment: Residual Connections and Critical Depth 00:07:15 Architectural Choices: Borrowing from ResNets and Avoiding Vanishing Gradients 00:07:50 Clarifying the Paper: Not Just Big Networks, But Different Objectives 00:08:46 Blurring the Lines: RL Meets Self-Supervised Learning 00:09:44 From TD Errors to Classification: Why This Objective Scales 00:11:06 Architecture Details: Building on Braw and SymbaFowl 00:12:05 Robotics Applications: Goal-Conditioned RL Without Human Supervision 00:13:15 Efficiency Trade-offs: Depth vs Width and Parameter Scaling 00:15:48 JAX and GPU-Accelerated Environments: The Data Infrastructure 00:18:05 World Models and Next State Classification 00:22:37 Unlocking Batch Size Scaling Through Network Capacity 00:24:10 Compute Requirements: State-of-the-Art on a Single GPU 00:21:02 Future Directions: Distillation, VLMs, and Hierarchical Planning 00:27:15 Closing Thoughts: Challenging Conventional Wisdom in RL Scaling

What the Public Speaker Profession Teaches Us | MM EP.2578

From 🇹🇭 Mission To The Moon, published at 2026-01-02 13:00

Taking the stage isn't just speaking; it's a performance where every detail must be designed. Many people view a speaker as simply getting up to talk, but the reality is they must deal with an inattentive audience, manage their own energy throughout the performance, and know when to inject humor and when to be silent. Panel Talks and Dinner Talks are not the same. A good slide isn't a beautiful one, but one that helps people remember. Even a clicker has techniques one must know. This Mission To The Moon EP shares 11 lessons from real stage experience, from content and stage control to attire, along with answering the question: "Can it be a main profession?" ..#PublicSpeaker#SpeakingSkills#missiontothemoon#missiontothemoonpodcast
