The latest addition is Vol.265 跨越50年的美国版本之子, a 商业就是这样 episode on Larry Ellison, David Ellison, Oracle, Skydance, and the political economy of U.S. technology and media power. It adds Larry Ellison, Skydance, Top Gun: Maverick, Stargate AI Infrastructure, CBS, CNN, HBO, Federal Communications Commission, U.S. Department of Justice, IBM, Enterprise Database Lock-In, Political Regulatory Leverage, and Media Ownership Independence Risk, while extending Oracle, David Ellison, Paramount, Warner Bros. Discovery, U.S. TikTok, Donald Trump, OpenAI, White House, Steve Jobs, TikTok, Streaming Consolidation, Platform Ownership Transition, AI Compute Continuity, Data Center Debt Risk, Political Influence Monetization, Presidential Conflict Of Interest, Paper Wealth Vs Cash Value, Vertical Media Distribution, Entertainment IP Flywheel, and Public Service Journalism. Its core synthesis is that enterprise software wealth can become a broader power stack: database lock-in creates durable capital, pledged founder equity and family structures turn capital into media control, and political access can convert AI infrastructure, platform governance, and merger approval into business value while raising journalism-independence risk.
The latest addition is Diary of a WNBA negotiator, a Planet Money episode on Alicia Clark, the WNBA Players Association, and the Women’s National Basketball Association’s move toward shared basketball revenue. It adds Women’s National Basketball Association, WNBA Players Association, Alicia Clark, Brianna Turner, Claudia Goldin, Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, Sports Labor Revenue Sharing, Sports Collective Bargaining, Data-Backed Labor Bargaining, Strike Threat as BATNA, Women’s Sports Business Growth, and Player Housing as Labor Benefit, while extending NPR, Planet Money, NBA, Sports Media Rights, Sports Entertainment Flywheel, League Stakeholder Alignment, and Fat League Economics. Its core synthesis is that sports growth becomes a labor-architecture problem: athlete-driven attention and media-rights upside can strengthen a league while also making fixed raises look misaligned, so spreadsheets, expert comparisons, housing details, member preparation, and a credible strike threat become tools for turning business growth into contract structure.
The latest addition is 66.鱼翅与花椒：聊吃的我可就不困了, a 蜜獾吃书 episode on 胡霞 / Fuchsia Dunlop’s 《鱼翅与花椒》 / Shark’s Fin and Sichuan Pepper. It adds 胡霞 / Fuchsia Dunlop, 《鱼翅与花椒》, 四川, 成都, 川菜, Culinary Grammar, Food Texture Aesthetics, Food Cultural Bias, Market Freshness Culture, and Culinary Identity Transformation, while extending 蜜獾吃书, Reading As Life Experience, Non-Instrumental Literary Reading, Material History Narrative, and Food Animal Welfare. Its core synthesis is that food culture is learned through embodied grammar: appetite, texture, markets, disgust, pride, shame, and ethical discomfort can all change when a person spends enough time inside another cuisine, but love of food still has to preserve criticism of waste and animal exploitation.
The latest addition is 67.美狄亚：古希腊秦香莲的复仇及其现代性, a 蜜獾吃书 episode on Euripides / 欧里比德斯’ 《美狄亚》 / Medea. It adds Medea / 美狄亚, 伊阿宋, Golden Fleece / 金羊毛, Dionysus / 狄俄尼索斯, 《酒神的伴侣》 / The Bacchae, Greek Tragedy, Tragic Modernity, and Female Revenge And Political Order, while extending Greek Mythology, Classic Reading Complexity, Female Self-Possession, and Moral Suspension In Art Reading. Its core synthesis is that Euripides makes myth modern by turning heroic adventure into psychological and civic crisis: Medea’s injury is real, Jason’s rationalizations are hollow, but revenge becomes anti-political when freedom destroys children, kinship, and the possibility of restored order.
The latest addition is 68.疯狂实验史：哎！这该死的求知欲…, a 蜜獾吃书 episode on 《疯狂实验史》. It adds Experimental Science Ethics, Self-Experimentation, Animal Experiment Ethics, Child Experiment Ethics, Scientific Public Spectacle, Circadian Rhythm Experimentation, Doppler Effect, Experimental Failure As Knowledge, Frankenstein / 《弗兰肯斯坦》, Giovanni Aldini, Stubbins Ffirth, August Bier, Winthrop Kellogg, Charles Darwin, and Robert Boyle, while extending Scientific Skepticism, Scientific Self-Correction, Observation Before Inference, Mary Shelley / 玛丽·雪莱, and Thomas Hobbes. Its core synthesis is that experiment turns curiosity into knowledge only when spectacle, self-risk, animal and child subjects, negative results, replication, and credit are kept under ethical and evidential discipline.
The latest addition is 69.闲聊推理文学：历史学者可不就是侦探吗！, a 蜜獾吃书 episode with 张志浩 of 《历史播客》 on detective fiction, archaeology, and historical inquiry. It adds 张志浩, 《历史播客》, 约瑟芬·铁伊, 《时间的女儿》, 理查三世, 塔中王子案, 曹操墓, 《螺丝在拧紧》, 《巴斯克维尔的猎犬》, Historical Detective Reasoning, Evidence-Bound Historical Revision, Personal Archive As History, 公案小说, and Chinese Detective Modernity, while extending 爱伦·坡, 柯南道尔, 福尔摩斯, 阿加莎·克里斯蒂, Jack the Ripper, Observation Before Inference, Interpretation And Overinterpretation, 国产推理出版生态, and Historical Memory Contest. Its core synthesis is that mystery fiction can be more than puzzle pleasure: it can train a disciplined way of reading traces, archives, material evidence, political narrative, public memory, and ordinary family objects without forcing every case into a neat solution.
The latest addition is 70.医生，你在想什么：少看百度，以及吃药时别吃西柚啊, a 蜜獾吃书 episode on 王兴医生’s 《医生，你在想什么》. It adds 王兴医生, 《医生，你在想什么》, 《病人家属，请来一下》, Doctor-Patient Communication, Medical Diagnostic Reasoning, Medical Risk Management, Online Symptom Search Anxiety, Medication Interaction Risk, and Preventive Health Screening, while extending 蜜獾吃书, Baidu, Medical Platform Trust Crisis, Online Medical Consultation, Health Insurance Planning, and 小雨伞. Its core synthesis is that medical literacy is a cooperation problem: patients should neither worship doctors nor replace them with search results, but should give clear symptoms, ask about terms, report treatment effects, seek professional second opinions when needed, and understand that diagnosis, medication, procedures, and screening all operate under uncertainty and risk management.
The latest addition is 中秋快乐！, a 蜜獾吃书 holiday episode that turns Mid-Autumn into a travel-reading and festival-food list. It adds 《中华蟹史》, 钱苍水, 《中亚行迹》 / Sovietistan, Travel Reading As Place Inquiry, and Festival Food Material History, while extending 蜜獾吃书, Reading As Life Experience, Non-Instrumental Literary Reading, Restorative Creative Pacing, Material History Narrative, 《消逝世界漫游指南》, 云南, and 《红楼梦》. Its core synthesis is that holiday reading can stay light without becoming thin: travel books can train attention to place, history, anthropology, and local memory, while a seasonal food such as crab can open a material-history archive of eating, tools, waterways, literature, myth, and regional unfamiliarity.
The latest addition is 75.故事新编：骷髅被复活后会感激庄子吗？, a 蜜獾吃书 episode rereading 鲁迅 through 《故事新编》, especially 《理水》 and 《起死》. It adds 《故事新编》, 《理水》, 《起死》, 顾颉刚, 古史辨, 庄子, 《齐物论》, 杨大, 大禹, 郭沫若, Disaster Aestheticization, and Instrumental Belief Critique, while extending Classic Reading Complexity, Non-Instrumental Literary Reading, 索隐式阅读 / Suo Yin Reading, Interpretation And Overinterpretation, Mythic Source Layering, Science-Religion Civilization Tension, and Tool Rationality Spillover. Its core synthesis is that Lu Xun’s myth rewriting is not anti-myth, anti-science, or simple revolutionary sloganizing: it satirizes the moment when scholarship, official relief, philosophy, religion, science, loyalty, or revolution become detachable tools for status, evasion, and “whatever works.”
The latest addition is 76.玄怪录：晚唐党争？没耽误宰相写大马猴的故事, a 蜜獾吃书 episode on 牛僧儒’s 《玄怪录》 and 《续玄怪录》. It adds 牛僧儒, 牛李党争, 李德裕, 李宗闵, 《周秦行纪》, 《杜子春》, 芥川龙之介, 唐传奇 / Tang Chuanqi, Tang Strange-Tale Repayment Ethics, and Transcendence Against Human Feeling, while extending Late Tang Political Poetics, Classic Reading Complexity, Non-Instrumental Literary Reading, Story Motif Transmission, Chinese Folk Religion Layering, Mythic Source Layering, and Interpretation And Overinterpretation. Its core synthesis is that 唐传奇 uses strangeness as ethical pressure: politics, disputed authorship, fox and dragon repayment, object spirits, religious mixing, and immortality tests all make wonder answerable to human obligation and feeling.
The latest addition is 89.剑桥夜攀者：让我们庄严地上房揭瓦, a 蜜獾吃书 episode on 《剑桥夜攀者》 / The Night Climbers of Cambridge and Cambridge night climbing. It adds 《剑桥夜攀者》 / The Night Climbers of Cambridge, Noel H. Symington / 诺埃尔·H.赛明顿, Geoffrey Winthrop Young, 《三一学院攀爬指南》 / Trinity College Climbing Guide, King’s College Chapel / 国王学院礼拜堂, Campus Night Climbing, Campus Prank Ethics, and Roofscape Attention, while extending 蜜獾吃书, University of Cambridge, and Non-Instrumental Literary Reading. Its core synthesis is that a dangerous climbing book can be read as campus culture rather than instruction: secrecy, curfews, roof views, fake facades, chapel spires, prank restraint, and pseudonymous authorship all turn illicit height into a story about institutional rules, student wit, and architectural attention.
The latest addition is 90.酉阳杂俎：血滴子和武则天手指上的黑毛, a 蜜獾吃书 episode on 段成式’s 《酉阳杂俎》. It adds 《酉阳杂俎》, 段成式, 《叶限》, 武则天, and Tang Miscellany Archive Value, while extending 唐传奇 / Tang Chuanqi, Story Motif Transmission, Chinese Folk Religion Layering, Underworld Bureaucracy, Mythic Source Layering, Classic Reading Complexity, and Non-Instrumental Literary Reading. Its core synthesis is that miscellany preserves value through breadth: ghosts, court rumor, fish-bone fairy tales, Buddhist hells, Daoist practices, godly officialdom, elite cruelty, natural wonders, and poetic anecdotes become an archive of cultural imagination rather than a set of facts to simply believe or dismiss.
The latest addition is 91.猎巫：塞勒姆1692，从癔症开始, a 蜜獾吃书 episode on 斯泰西·西夫’s 《猎巫：塞勒姆1692》 and the 塞勒姆猎巫. It adds The Witches: Salem, 1692 / 《猎巫：塞勒姆1692》, Stacy Schiff / 斯泰西·西夫, Salem Witch Trials / 塞勒姆猎巫, Witch-Hunt Mechanism / 猎巫机制, and Spectral Evidence / 幽灵证据, while extending 蜜獾吃书, Political Show Trial, Coerced Denunciation, Evidence Over Testimony, Internet Moral Trial / 互联网审判, 笛卡尔, Rationalist Method, and Observation Before Inference. Its core synthesis is that witch hunts do not require simple ignorance: closed communities, oppression, external fear, authority-backed evidence failure, and pseudo-rational causality can turn symptoms and rumor into moral certainty, legal violence, and modern accusation patterns that leave no fair route of defense.
The latest addition is 92.柏拉图上班记：用哲学搞笑职场, a 蜜獾吃书 episode on 《柏拉图上班记：哲学家的职场百态》. It adds 《柏拉图上班记：哲学家的职场百态》, 思考理性有限公司 / Think Reason Ltd., 夏尔·佩潘 / Charles Pepin, Jul / 朱勒尔, Plato / 柏拉图, Socrates / 苏格拉底, Michel Foucault / 福柯, Blaise Pascal / 帕斯卡, Baruch Spinoza / 斯宾诺莎, Thomas Aquinas / 托马斯·阿奎那, Walter Benjamin / 本雅明, Karl Marx / 马克思, Voltaire / 伏尔泰, Jean-Jacques Rousseau / 卢梭, Jacques Derrida / 德里达, Diogenes / 第欧根尼, Michel de Montaigne / 蒙田, Epicurus / 伊壁鸠鲁, Heraclitus / 赫拉克利特, Bernard-Henri Levy / 伯纳德-亨利·列维, Philosophy Workplace Satire, Labor Moral Ambivalence, Office Surveillance And Privacy, Corporate Theology And Capital Control, and Institutionalized Small Freedom, while extending 蜜獾吃书, 尼采, 笛卡尔, 马基雅维利, Pure Rationality Trap, Workplace Pacing, and Workplace Hidden Rules. Its core synthesis is that philosophy can be translated into workplace comedy when the mapping is precise: HR, open offices, monitoring, printers, unions, sales fights, boss theology, and casual Friday expose how labor morality, rationality, surveillance, capital, and managed freedom already structure modern work.
The latest addition is 94.吉卜力的天才们：我的人生，交给热爱和友谊, a 蜜獾吃书 episode on 铃木敏夫’s 《吉卜力的天才们》 and the people behind Studio Ghibli / 吉卜力工作室. It adds Studio Ghibli / 吉卜力工作室, Toshio Suzuki / 铃木敏夫, Isao Takahata / 高畑勋, 《风之谷》 / Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, 《龙猫》 / My Neighbor Totoro, 《萤火虫之墓》 / Grave of the Fireflies, 《幽灵公主》 / Princess Mononoke, 《你想活出怎样的人生》 / The Boy and the Heron, Creative Producer Mediation, and Animation Studio Creative Ecology, while extending Hayao Miyazaki / 宫崎骏, 《千与千寻》 / Spirited Away, Director Myth Deflation, Auteur Theory, and Art Commerce Integration. Its core synthesis is that Ghibli’s “genius” is a working ecology: artistic obsession, friendship, rivalry, contracts, debt, deadlines, staff systems, distribution, promotion, and afterlife revenue all shape what audiences later remember as pure animated wonder.
The latest addition is 95.都市传说：猎奇故事和我们内心深处的焦虑, a 蜜獾吃书 episode on 都市传说 as contemporary folklore. It adds Urban Legend / 都市传说, Richard Dorson / 理查德·多尔森, Charles Fort / 查尔斯·霍伊·福特, and Jan Harold Brunvand, while extending Story Motif Transmission, Legend As Social History, Evidence-Bound Folklore Inquiry, Folklore Trauma Encoding, Conspiracy Theory Pattern Seeking, UFO Conspiracy Culture, Roswell Incident / 罗斯维尔事件, The X-Files / X档案, Coca-Cola, Stanford University, Starlink, and Richard Dawkins / 理查德·道金斯. Its core synthesis is that urban legends endure because they sound near enough to ordinary life to be possible while giving narrative shape to diffuse anxieties about children, sex, technology, hospitals, food, brands, information opacity, and hidden power.
The latest addition is 96.荷马史诗：在假装永生的时代，我们重读死亡（伊利亚特篇）, a 蜜獾吃书 episode on Homer’s 《伊利亚特》. It adds The Iliad, Achilles, Hector, Patroclus, Priam, Agamemnon, Helen of Troy, Homer Question, Oral-Formulaic Epic, Homeric Mortality Reading, and Muthos Logos Tension, while extending The Odyssey, Greek Mythology, Classic Reading Complexity, Non-Instrumental Literary Reading, Moral Suspension In Art Reading, Story-Based Empathy, and 蜜獾吃书. Its core synthesis is that the Iliad’s force lies less in heroic war celebration than in making mortality specific: rage, honor, named deaths, corpse treatment, and enemy grief force readers to face the one-time value of life.
The latest addition is 开天窗｜指路兼推荐几本书, a short 蜜獾吃书 reading-list and pointer episode. It adds 王大可, 《他们的性》, Animal Reproductive Strategies, 《毕竟记》, 《烧钱》, 海外中国研究丛书, 刘东, Paper Money Ritual Materiality, 《光棍危机》, Male Surplus Security Risk, 《居酒屋的诞生》, and Everyday Food Culture History, while extending 伊藤比吕美, 《初老的女人》, Francis Fukuyama / 福山, 北明, Carl Sagan, 《魔鬼出没的世界》, Reading As Life Experience, Material History Narrative, Chinese Folk Religion Layering, and Science Optimism And Pseudoscience. Its core synthesis is that light reading-list episodes still preserve useful knowledge signals when claims are kept thin: they route future attention across animal biology, aging, ritual money, academic China studies, gender demography, everyday food culture, and skepticism without pretending to be full reviews.
The latest addition is 97.花粉症与人类：从尼安德特人（啊啾！）到空气净化器…, a 蜜獾吃书 episode on 小塩海平 / 小盐海平’s 《花粉症与人类》 / 花粉症と人類. It adds 《花粉症与人类》 / 花粉症と人類, 小塩海平 / 小盐海平, Charles Harrison Blackley / 查尔斯·哈里森·布莱克利, Air Purifier / 空气净化器, Pollen As Historical Object, Hay Fever Environmental History, Palynology As Evidence, Ragweed Ecological Feedback, Allergy As Immune Response, and Allergy Source Control, while extending 蜜獾吃书, Charles Darwin / 查尔斯·达尔文, Self-Experimentation, Observation Before Inference, Material History Narrative, Environmental Tradeoff Accounting, Urban Ecology, Invasive Species Management, and Cooling As Public Health. Its core synthesis is that pollen allergy is not just a seasonal medical inconvenience: it is a history of plant reproduction, microscopic evidence, immune response, settlement ecology, class-coded medicine, tourism, household air infrastructure, and unintended consequences from attempts to control allergen plants.
The latest addition is 98.自卑与超越：向前看，前方有希望, a 蜜獾吃书 episode on Alfred Adler / 阿尔弗雷德·阿德勒’s 《自卑与超越》. It adds Alfred Adler / 阿尔弗雷德·阿德勒, 《自卑与超越》, Individual Psychology, Adlerian Teleology, Inferiority-Superiority Dynamic, and Community Feeling, while extending Achievement Pressure Mental Health, Anti-Authoritarian Education, Red Pen Logic, Objective Self-Ownership, Action Against Anxiety, Meaning Through Experience, Complex Trauma Recognition, and Shame-Based Self-Concept. Its core synthesis is that inferiority can be a forward-looking signal rather than a shame identity: people are shaped by family, body, illness, and social pressure, but Adler’s useful question is what current behavior is trying to accomplish, and whether courage, contribution feeling, and seeing others as companions can open a less defensive life.
The latest addition is 99.很久很久以前，妖怪也推理啊…, a 蜜獾吃书 episode on 青柳碧人’s 《很久很久以前，在某个地方有一具尸体》. It adds 青柳碧人 / Aoyagi Aito, 《很久很久以前，在某个地方有一具尸体》, 一寸法师 / Issun Boshi, 猿蟹合战 / Saru Kani Gassen, 设定系推理 / Setting-Based Mystery, 民间故事推理改写 / Folk-Tale Mystery Rewriting, and 本格推理 / Honkaku Mystery, while extending 推理薯片 / Puzzle-Snack Mystery, Story Motif Transmission, 暴风雪山庄 / Closed-Circle Mystery, Observation Before Inference, and Absurd Rationality. Its core synthesis is that folk-tale wonder can become fair-play mystery when magical premises are treated as explicit rules: ogres, tiny bodies, magic mallets, shapeshifting, role names, and time devices do not suspend reasoning; they define the local constraints that make alibis, identity reversals, and impossible crimes playable.
The latest addition is The secret meeting that launched OPEC, a Planet Money episode on OPEC, oil prices, and the source’s account of the UAE leaving the producer group. It adds OPEC, Seven Sisters Oil Majors, Saudi Arabia, Wanda Jablonski, Ibrahim Almohanna, Kate Durian, Oil Producer Supply Coordination, Production Quota Discipline, Swing Producer Role, and Green Paradox, while extending NPR, Planet Money, Venezuela, Iran, Strait of Hormuz, United Arab Emirates, Gulf Stability Risk, Commodity Price Exposure, Market Regime Shift, Geopolitical Cycle Macro, and Chokepoint Shipping Confidence. Its core synthesis is that OPEC is best understood as an institution for supply coordination under stress: the same mechanism that let producer states push back against the Seven Sisters also creates quota cheating, swing-producer burden, Green Paradox pressure, and shipping constraints that make pump prices respond slowly to any single member’s exit.
The latest addition is Jerome Powell and the Test of Fed Independence, a Planet Money episode on Jerome Powell, Federal Reserve independence, and presidential pressure. It adds Lael Brainard, William McChesney Martin, Arthur Burns, Burton Abrams, Kevin Warsh, Lisa Cook, StephenMoran, United States Congress, Inflation Bias, and For-Cause Removal Standard, while extending NPR, Planet Money, Donald Trump, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, Supreme Court, Central Bank Independence, Executive Power Precedent, and American Democratic Resilience. Its core synthesis is that Fed independence is not only a rate-cycle question: it depends on norms, public explanation, inflation-bias discipline, removal law, congressional confirmation leverage, court interpretation, and whether dissent remains policy disagreement rather than presidential capture.
The latest addition is Why the U.S. Has No Guaranteed Paid Vacation, a Planet Money episode on the U.S. outlier status in paid vacation as a labor right. It adds Adewale Maie, Gary Cross, Daniel Hamermesh, Tom Cohen, American Federation of Labor, Paid Vacation As Labor Right, and Employer-Bargained Benefits, while extending NPR, Planet Money, Sarah Gonzalez, MIT, United States, Spain, and Labor Moral Ambivalence. Its core synthesis is that American overwork is not explained well by timeless culture, tax incentives, or consumerism alone: the U.S. channeled benefits through unions and employer bargaining, so vacation lost to more urgent pay, health-insurance, and pension tradeoffs while other rich countries made leisure a right.
The latest addition is The giant factory town that might be a giant mistake, a Planet Money episode on Manaus, Brazil, and the limits of the old factory-led development blueprint. It adds Manaus, Zona Franca de Manaus, Bosco Saraiva, Johnny Fidelis Santos, Port Chibatao, Homi Kharas, Mayara Felix, World Bank, Tutiplast, Gabrielle Santos, Middle-Income Trap, Subsidized Assembly Industrialization, Industrial Subsidy Dependence, Protected Domestic-Market Industrialization, Premature Deindustrialization, Advanced Agriculture Innovation, Localized Innovation Advantage, and Biodegradable Amazon Plastics, while extending NPR, Planet Money, Brazil, Supply Chain Sovereignty, Tech Manufacturing Reshoring, Build, Build, Regulate, and Infrastructure Malinvestment. Its core synthesis is that development can stall even after factories arrive: Manaus shows jobs and urban growth from tax incentives, but also imported-component dependence and subsidy fragility, so Brazil’s next productivity path may need locally grounded innovation rather than another copy of old industrialization.
The latest addition is The leaked tapes that show how the rich avoid taxes, a Planet Money episode on the Malta Tax Loophole, U.S.-Malta Tax Treaty, and the political economy of tax enforcement. It adds Carolyn Schenck, Lauren Loricchio, Tax Notes, Andrew Gradman, Kenneth Keyes, Dominion Fiduciary Services, Malta, Malta Tax Loophole, Tax Avoidance-Evasion Boundary, Tax Treaty Arbitrage, Economic Substance Doctrine, Tax Shelter Disclosure Regulation, and Tax Enforcement Capacity, while extending NPR, Planet Money, Internal Revenue Service, U.S. Treasury, Department of Government Efficiency, and Donald Trump. Its core synthesis is that high-end tax avoidance is not just clever paperwork: treaty ambiguity, adviser marketing, economic-substance analysis, disclosure rules, agency staffing, political appointments, and delay all shape whether the legal boundary becomes enforceable.
The latest addition is The sneaky way companies get new chemicals into our food, a Planet Money episode on Daily Harvest, Tara Flour, Secret GRAS, and the food-additive safety system. It adds Carol Reedy, Daily Harvest, Tara Flour, Bill Marler, Smirks, Molinos (Peru), Chobani, Food Additive Regulation, Secret GRAS, Premarket Food Safety Review, Post-Harm Food Regulation, Food Safety Litigation Discovery, Consumer Arbitration Barrier, and Chronic Food Additive Risk, while extending NPR, Planet Money, Sarah Gonzalez, Melanie Benish, Environmental Working Group, Food and Drug Administration, GRAS Self-Certification, and Dietary Supplement Regulation. Its core synthesis is that food safety can fail before regulators even know a new ingredient is being used: GRAS self-certification, trade-secret opacity, arbitration clauses, weak safety evidence, and delayed public accountability can shift the burden of discovery onto injured consumers and litigation.
The latest addition is 146. 对Physical Intelligence柯丽一鸣4小时访谈：Pi的开源模型研究，机器人的江湖、族谱与主角, a 张小珺Jùn｜商业访谈录 episode with K of Physical Intelligence on the Physical Intelligence Pi Model Series, Robot Experience Data, Robot Reinforcement Learning, Robot Generalization Performance Tradeoff, Robot Evaluation Problem, and Robot Form-Factor Pragmatism. It extends Physical AI, Vision Language Action Models, Real Robot Data Strategy, Layered Robot Architecture, and 张小珺Jùn｜商业访谈录, while connecting Pi 0/0.5/0.6* to the later Pi 0.7 and World Model VLA Fusion discussion. Its core synthesis is that robot progress is a system problem: model architecture, real-machine data, reinforcement learning, task choice, hardware stability, evaluation design, company culture, and form factor all have to move together before a robot “brain” becomes practically useful.
The latest addition is 50 Cents a Pool: The Pricing Model Behind a SaaS Exit, a The SaaS Podcast episode with Ron Hash on Skimmer, Field-First Vertical SaaS, Usage-Based Vertical SaaS Pricing, and Onboarding-Led Churn Reduction. It adds Ron Hash, Skimmer, QuickFax, Usage-Based Vertical SaaS Pricing, Field-First Vertical SaaS, and Onboarding-Led Churn Reduction, while extending The SaaS Podcast, Omer Khan, Vertical SaaS Domain Expertise, Product Led Willingness To Pay, Customer Pull, Fast Product Validation, SaaS Trust Moat, and Founder Role Transition. Its core synthesis is that an unglamorous vertical SaaS can compound when the founder aligns product, pricing, onboarding, support, and acquisition around the field worker’s real workflow instead of a generic seat-based software model.
The latest addition is You’ve come a long way, Bibi: Israel’s crucial election, a The Intelligence episode on Israeli Election 2026, the expanded FIFA World Cup, and A23A. It adds Benjamin Netanyahu, Naftali Bennett, Yair Lapid, Gadi Eisenkot, Josie Dallap, Anne Rowe, Argentina, Cristiano Ronaldo, A23A, Israeli Election 2026, Haredi Conscription, Palestinian Question in Israeli Politics, Sports Political Interference, and Iceberg Climate Symbolism, while extending Israel, The Intelligence, Economist Podcasts, FIFA World Cup, World Cup Expansion, Donald Trump, John Fasman, Spain, Lionel Messi, and Climate Adaptation. Its core synthesis is that institutional legitimacy can fracture across very different arenas: an election can avoid its deepest national question, a successful sports tournament can still be marked by political interference, and a natural iceberg breakup can become a climate symbol when the speed and context feel historically charged.
The previous addition is The Apple vs. OpenAI legal showdown, a Marketplace Tech Bytes episode with Paresh Dave of Wired on Apple’s lawsuit against OpenAI, New York’s hyperscale data-center pause, and Uber’s robotaxi lobbying. It adds Uber, AI Hardware Trade Secret Dispute, Hyperscale Data Center Moratorium, and Robotaxi Hybrid Deployment, while extending Marketplace Tech, Megan McCarty-Corino, Paresh Dave, Wired, Apple, OpenAI, Jony Ive, Bloomberg, Kathy Hochul, Waymo, AI Plus Terminals, Data Center Backlash, Data Center Tax Incentives, Data Center Cost Shifting, AI Energy Bottleneck, Robotaxi Economics, Autonomous Vehicle Safety Benchmark, and Envelope Expansion Deployment. Its core synthesis is that AI’s next competitive layer is colliding with physical-world governance: model labs pursuing hardware can inherit trade-secret and supplier risk, data-center growth can trigger state moratoriums and subsidy review, and robotaxi rollout depends on city operations and platform leverage as much as average safety claims.
The latest addition is Can World Cup mania grow MLS in the U.S.?, a Planet Money episode on Major League Soccer, the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and whether global tournament attention can become durable local club demand. It adds Major League Soccer, Seattle Sounders, New England Revolution, Chicago Fire, Becky Sullivan, Kenny Malone, Brian Bilello, Dave Baldwin, Dan Moriarty, Camilo Durana, Major-Event Attention Conversion, and Sports Fandom Network Effects, while extending NPR, Planet Money, FIFA World Cup, World Cup Expansion, United States, Argentina, Lionel Messi, Offline Brand Activation, Sports Entertainment Flywheel, and League Stakeholder Alignment. Its core synthesis is that a mega-event creates attention but not ownership of that attention: MLS clubs have to build concrete bridges from watch parties, stadium experience, contact capture, media campaigns, player facilities, and star legitimacy into repeat fan behavior.
The latest addition is EP270 一枚芯片的漫长征途：我们离“算力自由”还有多远？, a Talk三联 episode with 高一丁 and 张从志 on chips, semiconductor manufacturing, domestic AI-chip catch-up, and 算力自由. It adds Talk三联, 高一丁 / Gao Yiding, JCET / 长电科技, ASML / 阿斯麦, Synopsys / 新思科技, Cadence Design Systems / 楷登, Siemens EDA / 西门子EDA, Cambricon / 寒武纪, Gordon Moore, Intel, Semiconductor Supply Chain, Electronic Design Automation, Photolithography Bottleneck, Tape-Out Risk, Moore’s Law, Advanced Packaging, Domestic AI Chip Catch-Up, and Compute Freedom / 算力自由, while extending 张从志 / Zhang Congzhi, Nvidia, GPU, SMIC, TSMC, Samsung, AI Chip Specialization, High Bandwidth Memory, Memory Wall, Semiconductor 3D Stacking, AI Inference Cost Structure, AI Compute Continuity, Strategic AI Infrastructure Dependence, Supply Chain Sovereignty, and AI Hardware Supply Chain Pressure. Its core synthesis is that AI compute sovereignty is a whole-chain engineering and economics problem: EDA, lithography, yield, packaging, memory, software ecosystems, power, and cost-effective volume must all work before domestic chips become cheap usable tokens.
