The Techno-Optimist Manifesto with Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz

From 🇺🇸 a16z Podcast, published at 2026-01-01 11:00

Originally aired in October 2023, this episode centers on Marc Andreessen’s essay The Techno-Optimist Manifesto, which lays out his vision for the future of technology. The piece sparked widespread discussion across traditional and social media by challenging the prevailing pessimistic narrative around technology and arguing instead that it can be a force for growth, progress, and abundance. In this one-on-one conversation, based on listener questions from X (formerly Twitter), a16z cofounder Ben Horowitz and Marc discuss how technological advances can improve quality of life, support marginalized communities, and shape how we think about humanity’s long-term future.

New: The Century's Art Forger

From 🇸🇪 P3 Dokumentär, published at 2026-01-01 05:00

In 2011, panic breaks out in the international art world. For four decades, Wolfgang Beltracchi has painted and sold forgeries worth hundreds of millions of kronor. Listen to all episodes in the Swedish Radio app. In the 90s, lost paintings by world-famous artists Max Ernst and Heinrich Campendonk resurface. Works that were supposed to have existed, but which no one had seen for 100 years. In reality, it is the artist Wolfgang Beltracchi who painted the works. He found a kind of blind spot in the art market by going through numerous art catalogs. Adolf Hitler did not like modern art, and thousands of works disappeared during the Nazi regime. And these are the works that Wolfgang Beltracchi paints, as if they were the genuine paintings. For nearly 40 years, Wolfgang could earn multi-million sums from his forgeries. But one day, it comes to a halt. Moderna Museet was deceived in 2008Wolfgang Beltracchi's forgeries are exhibited worldwide – even in Sweden. For the first time, Moderna Museet in Stockholm comments on the fact that they unknowingly exhibited a Max Ernst painting by Wolfgang Beltracchi. Participants:Wolfgang Beltracchi, the artist who painted the forgeries.Helena Beltracchi, Wolfgang's wife and accomplice in the forgeries. Iris Müller Westermann, senior curator at Moderna Museet in Stockholm.Thomas Seydoux, former senior art expert at Christie’s auction house in London.Sofia Komarova, runs the Artvera’s gallery in Geneva, Switzerland.René Allonge, police commissioner leading the special unit for art crime in Berlin.Nicolas Eastaugh, art analyst and founder of the global art analysis center VersariK.A documentary by Alexandra SannemalmProducer: Hannah EngbergExecutive producer at Swedish Radio: Tove PalénThe documentary was produced in 2025.

Benjamin is an author, journalist, and for several years now, we've had our shared New Year's Eve tradition at Hotel Matze.

[State of Code Evals] After SWE-bench, Code Clash & SOTA Coding Benchmarks recap — John Yang

From 🇺🇸 Latent Space: The AI Engineer Podcast, published at 2025-12-31 20:00

From creating SWE-bench in a Princeton basement to shipping CodeClash, SWE-bench Multimodal, and SWE-bench Multilingual, John Yang has spent the last year and a half watching his benchmark become the de facto standard for evaluating AI coding agents—trusted by Cognition (Devin), OpenAI, Anthropic, and every major lab racing to solve software engineering at scale. We caught up with John live at NeurIPS 2025 to dig into the state of code evals heading into 2026: why SWE-bench went from ignored (October 2023) to the industry standard after Devin's launch (and how Walden emailed him two weeks before the big reveal), how the benchmark evolved from Django-heavy to nine languages across 40 repos (JavaScript, Rust, Java, C, Ruby), why unit tests as verification are limiting and long-running agent tournaments might be the future (CodeClash: agents maintain codebases, compete in arenas, and iterate over multiple rounds), the proliferation of SWE-bench variants (SWE-bench Pro, SWE-bench Live, SWE-Efficiency, AlgoTune, SciCode) and how benchmark authors are now justifying their splits with curation techniques instead of just "more repos," why Tau-bench's "impossible tasks" controversy is actually a feature not a bug (intentionally including impossible tasks flags cheating), the tension between long autonomy (5-hour runs) vs. interactivity (Cognition's emphasis on fast back-and-forth), how Terminal-bench unlocked creativity by letting PhD students and non-coders design environments beyond GitHub issues and PRs, the academic data problem (companies like Cognition and Cursor have rich user interaction data, academics need user simulators or compelling products like LMArena to get similar signal), and his vision for CodeClash as a testbed for human-AI collaboration—freeze model capability, vary the collaboration setup (solo agent, multi-agent, human+agent), and measure how interaction patterns change as models climb the ladder from code completion to full codebase reasoning. We discuss: John's path: Princeton → SWE-bench (October 2023) → Stanford PhD with Diyi Yang and the Iris Group, focusing on code evals, human-AI collaboration, and long-running agent benchmarks The SWE-bench origin story: released October 2023, mostly ignored until Cognition's Devin launch kicked off the arms race (Walden emailed John two weeks before: "we have a good number") SWE-bench Verified: the curated, high-quality split that became the standard for serious evals SWE-bench Multimodal and Multilingual: nine languages (JavaScript, Rust, Java, C, Ruby) across 40 repos, moving beyond the Django-heavy original distribution The SWE-bench Pro controversy: independent authors used the "SWE-bench" name without John's blessing, but he's okay with it ("congrats to them, it's a great benchmark") CodeClash: John's new benchmark for long-horizon development—agents maintain their own codebases, edit and improve them each round, then compete in arenas (programming games like Halite, economic tasks like GDP optimization) SWE-Efficiency (Jeffrey Maugh, John's high school classmate): optimize code for speed without changing behavior (parallelization, SIMD operations) AlgoTune, SciCode, Terminal-bench, Tau-bench, SecBench, SRE-bench: the Cambrian explosion of code evals, each diving into different domains (security, SRE, science, user simulation) The Tau-bench "impossible tasks" debate: some tasks are underspecified or impossible, but John thinks that's actually a feature (flags cheating if you score above 75%) Cognition's research focus: codebase understanding (retrieval++), helping humans understand their own codebases, and automatic context engineering for LLMs (research sub-agents) The vision: CodeClash as a testbed for human-AI collaboration—vary the setup (solo agent, multi-agent, human+agent), freeze model capability, and measure how interaction changes as models improve — John Yang SWE-bench: https://www.swebench.com X: https://x.com/jyangballin Chapters 00:00:00 Introduction: John Yang on SWE-bench and Code Evaluations 00:00:31 SWE-bench Origins and Devon's Impact on the Coding Agent Arms Race 00:01:09 SWE-bench Ecosystem: Verified, Pro, Multimodal, and Multilingual Variants 00:02:17 Moving Beyond Django: Diversifying Code Evaluation Repositories 00:03:08 Code Clash: Long-Horizon Development Through Programming Tournaments 00:04:41 From Halite to Economic Value: Designing Competitive Coding Arenas 00:06:04 Ofir's Lab: SWE-ficiency, AlgoTune, and SciCode for Scientific Computing 00:07:52 The Benchmark Landscape: TAU-bench, Terminal-bench, and User Simulation 00:09:20 The Impossible Task Debate: Refusals, Ambiguity, and Benchmark Integrity 00:12:32 The Future of Code Evals: Long Autonomy vs Human-AI Collaboration 00:14:37 Call to Action: User Interaction Data and Codebase Understanding Research

Argentina: "70% of the 2026 budget is allocated to social issues"

From 🇦🇷 Cara o Ceca, published at 2025-12-31 17:51

President Javier Milei celebrated the approval of his 2026 Budget Law, a fundamental step for the country to be able to renegotiate debt maturities with international organizations for the new year, and his parliamentarians respond to those who indicate that the approved text intensifies fiscal adjustment. "The year was sealed with the approval of the budget, which is part of fiscal balance. It is something new for Argentina to propose a budget where less is spent than what comes in; thanks to the victory in the midterm elections, we have reconfigured the power structure in parliament," assessed Pablo Cervi, national senator for La Libertad Avanza, on Cara o Ceca.
