O'Reilly Radar tracks the technologies and people that will shape our world in the years to come. Each episode of O'Reilly Radar features an interview with an industry thought leader, with topics touching on everything from programming to data to experience design. We also take a step back from the breathless pace of the latest tech news to examine why new developments are important and what they might mean down the road.

With Proof-of-Stake (PoS) a blockchain is secured not by spending an external resource such as electricity but by using value internal to the chain itself. The promise of higher security at a lower cost is what also drives Ethereum to plan a move away from Proof-of-Work to PoS in the future.

Ethereum researcher Vlad Zamfir, who leads their effort in the complex search for the optimal PoS consensus system joined us for an in-depth discussion of the challenges of PoS, the approach Casper is taking and what consensus in Ethereum land could look like in the future.

Topics covered included:
- How he became interested in consensus and Proof-of-Stake (PoS)
- Why Ethereum plans to switch to the PoS systems Casper in the future
- What the Long-Range Attack and Nothing-at-Stake problems are and how Casper addresses them
- How a betting mechanism is used to get validators to reach consensus
- What centralization pressures exist for validators and what operating a validator will look like
- The role of security deposits in Casper
- The difference between Tendermint and Casper
- Whether forks create big UI/UX issues for Casper
- Why Casper is very light client friendly

EB105 – Vlad Zamfir: Bringing Ethereum Towards Proof-Of-Stake With Casper

Mike Kuniavsky, a principal scientist in the Innovation Services Group at PARC, on designing for the Internet of Things ecosystem and why the most interesting thing about the IoT isn’t the “things” but the sensors. He also talks about his deep-seated love for appliances and furniture, and how intelligence will affect those industries.

Mike Kuniavsky on the Tectonic Shift of the IoT

Our guest on this week’s episode of the O’Reilly Hardware Podcast is Robert Brunner. Brunner was director of industrial design at Apple from 1989 to 1996, overseeing the design of the PowerBook. He was the chief designer of Beats by Dr. Dre, the design-driven line of headphones that Apple acquired for $3 billion last year. And he’s the founder of Ammunition, which has worked with startups and large companies on a wide range of innovative consumer products.

THE EYES IN THE HEAT
‘Program Me’
Debut Album out 1st October via Kill The DJ
Send us a mail: contact@killthedj.com/theeyesintheheat@gmail.com


A collaboration between acclaimed techno producer/DJ Oliver Ho (aka. Raudive) and vocalist/artist Zizi Kanaan, The Eyes in The Heat are set to release their electrifying debut album, ‘Program Me’, on Paris-based independent label Kill The DJ on the 1st October.

A lithe, magnificent beast of an album, ‘Program Me’ features twelve stunning tracks that range from rapturous, space-age euphoria to a sound that hints at something much more melancholy, dark and fragmented. The album also includes the title track from their previous EP, the sleazily hypnotic ‘Amateur’, which was released earlier this year to glowing reviews.

Produced by Ho, ‘Program Me’ – or, alternatively, ‘Programme’, as the deliberately ambiguous title can also be read – explores the borders between the avant-garde pop of Laurie Anderson and the electronic experimentalism of Brian Eno. Standout tracks include the electro-Western balladry of ‘Stare’, the Fever Rey-esque ‘The Upper Limits’, and the woozy tropicalia of forthcoming single ‘Florida’, the band’s most personal track, where Zizi explores her Lebanese and American childhood, the psychological blend of memory and imagination. Indeed, the main themes of the album are those to do with human psychology, artifice, and fantasy. This is not a band to shy away from incorporating big ideas or artistic concepts – from the band’s name, a reference to a Jackson Pollock painting, to a song such as literature- referencing ‘Good Morning, Midnight’. But there are also plenty of hot-blooded danceable moments - from the lush alt-disco of ‘Think in Loops’, to ‘The Perfect Gun’, the band’s techno-psychedelic deconstruction of  ‘Dali’s Handgun’, originally written by cult rapper MC 900 ft Jesus, which caused stupendous reactions when played recently on Ivan Smagghe’s renowned ‘Beats in Space’ radioshow.

Based in London, The Eyes in The Heat formed in 2010 as a duo, playing gigs in London, Paris, and Berlin. The line-up now consists of Zizi Kanaan (vocals, synths), Oliver Ho (guitar, machines, programming), and Jerome Tcherneyan (drums).

‘Program Me’ features new artwork from celebrated British artist Tom Dale: a series of esoteric photo collages that responds to the album’s sense of fragmented, psychological reverie.


The Eyes in The Heat will play London’s Hysteria Bar in Dalston on the 4th October. 


Think in loops

O'Reilly Media spreads the knowledge of innovators. At O’Reilly, a big part of our business is paying attention to what’s new and interesting in the world of technology. We have a pretty good record at having anticipated some of the big technology developments in recent history. For instance, we launched the first commercial Web site, GNN, in 1993; we organized the meeting at which the term “open source” was first adopted; we were early investors in Blogger, which helped launch the blogging revolution; and more recently, our Web 2.0 conference launched a world-wide meme. We call this predictive sense the “O’Reilly Radar.” And while we’re certainly not always right, we are, at least, good at making interesting guesses.

Our methodology is simple: we draw from the wisdom of the alpha geeks in our midst, paying attention to what’s interesting to them, amplifying these weak signals, and seeing where they fit into the innovation ecology. Add to that the original research conducted by our Research team, and you start to get a good picture of what the technology world is thinking about.
