Manufacturing CIOs see bright future for the industry, thanks to IT
CIO
FEBRUARY 2, 2023
Throughout my career at Textron, I have had many roles, spanning supply chain, manufacturing, integrated product teams, and working on helicopter programs. That then led to an increasing involvement of trying to move data across the enterprise to compare manufacturing operations around the world.

It’s Not All Bad! Using Cloud Drift for Teachable Moments
Prisma Clud
FEBRUARY 14, 2023
At least a few will have to resort to making changes in the cloud console or CLI, causing drift. Drift is when your IaC state, or configurations in code, differs from your cloud state, or configurations of running resources. However, my favorite way to learn is missing from the list — learning by doing.
6 investors discuss why AI is more than just a buzzword in biotech
TechCrunch
DECEMBER 15, 2022
That’s why we weren’t very surprised when a slew of investors told us they rarely see a biotech startup that doesn’t incorporate AI in some form or other these days. Given the substantial and positive flow of data in the space, we view market sentiment as overly negative.

The dilemma of Chinese startups going global

How MLOps Helps You Dodge The Wrecking Ball of Underspecification
DataRobot
JUNE 30, 2021
My customers have asked me what they should do to address this. Underspecification refers to machine learning models that do not contain enough information to perform well on new unseen data. Underspecified models give us the illusion of good predictive accuracy when we evaluate them on their training data. Explainability.
Context

I’ll see if I can define my usage a little more precisely.

When I discuss software issues, I often use the term ‘context’. There are only two states.
