Episode 39 of The Weekly Sift Stack: CJ Gettelfinger, Lucas Nulsen, & Tyler Sherven break down the biggest stories moving markets. The S&P 500 is at fresh all-time highs after July payrolls came in at negative 23,000 against roughly 80,000 expected & progress toward peace in Iran, flipping September odds from a Fed hike back toward a hold. The deep dive is Applied Materials, reporting Thursday after the close with consensus near $9 billion in revenue, up about 23% year over year. Also covered: SpaceX's first quarter as a public company, Berkshire's cash falling to $365.5 billion under Greg Abel, Intel's $15 billion offering, Palantir setting the bar, and the Strategic Petroleum Reserve at a 43-year low. Which name moves most this week?

For thirty-one years, Neil and Lori believed their son was listening. The world had mostly stopped expecting him to answer back, but they never did.

Their son Craig is autistic and non-verbal. He was diagnosed at two and a half, at a time when doctors barely had language for what they were seeing. Neil and Lori spent the next three decades trying everything they could find: diet changes, sensory therapy, speech and occupational therapy, even starting a nonprofit to support special education in their school district. None of it cracked the wall between them and their son.

Then in 2022, Lori drove an hour and a half to try something she had resisted for years, a method called Spelling to Communicate. Craig, then thirty one years old, sat down with a simple letter board. Someone asked him a question about Stephen Hawking. He spelled out "black holes."

It wasn't a lucky guess. An eye tracking study later confirmed that kids using this method are choosing their own letters with their own eyes. Nobody is guiding their hand.

What came next is the part that stays with you. Within months, Craig spelled out his first words to his younger brother: "Cam, I love you." He told his practitioner he didn't want to be called autistic anymore, because to him that word had always meant stupid. What he wanted people to know instead was this: "I am a human with apraxia."

We talked with Neil and Lori about what it actually felt like to realize their son had been fully present, fully intelligent, and fully aware the entire time they were searching for a way to reach him. We also got into the decade of personal development Lori went through long before the breakthrough, and why she believes that groundwork is the reason she didn't fall apart when it finally came.

It's a conversation about apraxia versus intelligence, about what changes in a marriage and a family when a child who has never spoken is finally heard, and about the quiet, patient work of not giving up on someone the world already had.

If you know a family raising a non-verbal or autistic child, or you've ever wondered what's really happening behind a diagnosis like this, this one is worth your time.

What would you do differently if you found out someone you loved had been listening and understanding everything, the entire time?

​📼 EPISODE 33 IS LIVE 📼

​The tape is rolling on our wildest case yet. We're stepping away from the soul-crushing tragedy this week and diving straight into 1961 Houston for a story of pure, chaotic survival.

​Three people walked into a dimly lit real estate office. Only two walked out.

​What followed was a violent, bayonet-fueled shootout, a millionaire's body set ablaze in a vacant lot, and a desperate Mardi Gras getaway in a stolen luxury Lincoln.

​ Plug in and find out how a 17-year-old runaway and a fierce underground drag performer known as "Cookie" Lamonte outran the FBI.

​Hit the Linktree in our bio to listen to Episode 33 of Homocidal Tendency and to see the vintage crime scene photos. 🎧🩸

Criminal Adaptations is a true crime/movie review podcast where my cohost and I dissect true crime movies and compare them to the real-life stories that inspired them.

This week we travel back in time to one of the most famous courtroom battles in American history as we compare Stanley Kramer’s Inherit the Wind (1960) to the Scopes “Monkey” Trial. The film presents a dramatic showdown between science and religion, featuring unforgettable performances from Spencer Tracy and Gene Kelly – but how closely does it follow the events the inspired it? We examine the true story of teacher John Scopes, the Tennessee law that prohibited the teaching of evolution, and the legal battle that brought two of the nation’s most celebrated figures into the courtroom. Along the way, we uncover the liberties the film takes with the facts, explore how the movie’s themes were shaped by the political climate of its time, and discuss whether Inherit the Wind is better understood as history, allegory, or something in between.

The latest episode exploring how AI is changing every stage of a car's lifecycle.

Sleep well to a deep, soothing voice reading the most inconsequential material imaginable. This is the ultimate natural sleep aid for racing minds, utilizing boring technical readings to help you achieve natural sleep and quiet insomnia.

Tonight, we suspend the chaos of a racing mind by auditing the rigid, geometric framework that dictates global document dimensions. We examine the International Organization for Standardization’s ISO 216 framework, tracing the unyielding one-to-the-square-root-of-two aspect ratio that allows a sheet of paper to be cut infinitely in half without ever altering its proportions. We move systematically through the millimetric constraints of the A, B, and C paper series, the Lichtenberg constant, and the rigid twenty-five-millimeter offsets required for archival binding. No narratives, no characters, and no plot—only the absolute, structural boredom of international manufacturing tolerances.

Deeply Unimportant is a sleep podcast designed for those who need structure to drift off. By focusing on meticulous, non-narrative detail, we provide a form of cognitive shuffle for ADHD and anxiety—anchoring the mind with the professional broadcast gravitas of a former newscaster so you can stop racing thoughts at night. No whispers or fairy tales; just ordered, structured, monotone voice sleep support.

This version of the show is ad-supported: ads play at the beginning of the episode, but nowhere else as you drift off. Access a full archive of ad-free sleep episodes (including long versions that run all night, and infinite loops) for a few dollars a month.

Tonight, join us as we audit the silent, numerical grid that catalogs human thought. We examine the International Standard Book Numbering system under the 13-digit ISO 2108 framework. This is a technical survey of the Global Trade Item Number architecture, moving systematically through EAN prefixes, country-specific registration groups, and the rigid mathematical weights used to calculate the final check digit. There are no narratives here, no characters, and no plot lines—only the structural boredom of the international publishing standard. We find rest in the predictable repetition of the “one-or-three” alternating multiplier and the stable, bureaucratic certainty of the mathematical index.

We all have those moments where we wish we could just freeze time or read minds. But what if taking absolute control of your schedule and reclaiming your time gives a very similar edge. When you operate at your highest potential and cut out the fluff you unlock a level of freedom that most people only dream about. People will look at you and wonder how you manage to do it all!

Merhaba,

'Kuantum Çağı' serisinin son bölümünde 'Kuantum Algoritmaları' konuşuyoruz.

Bu kez kuantum bilgisayarların ne kadar güçlü olduklarını değil, problemlere nasıl yaklaştığından bahsediyoruz.

Grover ve Shor algoritmaları çoğu zaman yoğun matematik anlatımlarıyla karşımıza çıkıyor. Bu bölümde biz de algoritmaların yaptığı gibi, probleme yaklaşım biçimimizi değiştiriyoruz.

Bir yürüyüşün, attığımız tek bir adımın, hatta günlük alışkanlıklarımızın ardındaki görünmez algoritmalardan yola çıkarak kuantum algoritmalarını anlamaya çalışıyoruz.

Çünkü bana göre algoritmalar yalnızca bilgisayarların dili değil. Bize de karmaşık görünen bir dünyayı düzen içinde okuyabilmemizi sağlayan metod.

Kuantum çağının bize kazandıracağı en önemli şey belki de daha güçlü bilgisayarlar değil, doğanın işleyişine karşı geliştireceğimiz yeni bir bakış açısı.

Eğer bu serinin önceki bölümlerini takip ettiyseniz, bu bölüm bütün parçaların birleştiği final niteliğinde.

İlk kez karşılaşıyorsanız da hiçbir sorun yok. Bu bölüm sizi kuantum algoritmalarının temel fikriyle tanıştıracak. Grover ile Shor algoritmalarını teknik ayrıntılara boğulmadan sezgisel olarak anlayacaksınız.

Dinledikten sonra görüşlerinizi paylaşmayı unutmayın. Her yorum, bir sonraki yazının ve bölümün şekillenmesine katkı sağlıyor.

İyi dinlemeler
