'If you’re just tuning in, I’ve been teaching an MBA course on Managing Difficult Employees and gave these “students” (read that, really smart working millennials with big jobs in our nation’s capital) “homework” to developing an approach to manage their difficult employee and to journal about it. If you missed Monday’s post , best to start there.

'Leaders of character shine! “Learn from others’ mistakes, you don’t have time to make the all yourself” GK Chesterton. From the time we’re very young we’re presented with a list of “don’ts” to set boundaries. To be sure young people get the lion’s’ share of the boundary setting, but every society and organization has its list of what you can’t do.

'My Dad used to love wearing trucker hats. He was a carpenter – that is, when he wasn’t working full time for the county sheriff’s department – and he had a closet full of cool hats to wear out on his jobs. He loved helping friends and neighbors that way, hanging a door, installing a window, fixing a roof, repairing siding, or even building an entire garage (I was with him on that adventure , in the summer of 1974).

This is the last post about deep learning for chess/go/whatever. But this really cool paper by Christopher Clark and Amos Storkey was forwarded to me by Michael Eickenberg. It’s about using convolutional neural networks to play Go. The authors of the paper do a much better job than I would ever have done of modeling move prediction in Go and show that their model beat certain Go engines.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

'It had been an insane but productive year of game-changing projects and really long hours. I was proud, but exhausted. We had our final push just as the holidays were approaching, and I was more stressed then ever. My phone rang and Laura, my boss, told me she needed my accomplishments a week earlier than expected. I was beyond annoyed. Laura knew what we had done.

'By Bob Gourley. We have all been watching the growing cyber threat. Press reports on attacks are numbing and hard to put in context. Every attack seems more significant than the one before. What can be done? Our new book, The Cyber Threat , hits this issue head on. This book was made for technology and business executives who know they must mitigate a growing threat.

My previous blog post about deep learning for chess blew up and made it to Hacker News and a couple of other places. One pretty amazing thing was that the Github repo got 150 stars overnight. There was also lots of comments on the Hacker News post that I thought were really interesting. (See this skeptical comment for instance). A couple of things came up in several places.

'Whenever I tell someone I’m teaching an evening MBA class entirely devoted to “managing difficult people” the response is the same. “Oh, boy do I need to take that class.” Or, “Why didn’t they have that when I was in school?” There was a long waiting list for the course. Apparently the working world is full of serious loony tunes.

Multi-tenant architecture allows software vendors to realize tremendous efficiencies by maintaining a single application stack instead of separate database instances while meeting data privacy needs. When you use a data warehouse to power your multi-tenant analytics, the proper approach is vital. Multi-tenant analytics is NOT the primary use case with traditional data warehouses, causing data security challenges.

'By Katie Kennedy. Every year for 19 Years Symantec has produced an Internet Security Threat Report, capturing insights which can inform defenses. Their April 2014 report has proven to be particularly insightful, foreshadowing many of the events seen from that month to today. For example, in 2012, there were 156 major data breaches increasing to 253 in 2013.

'By John Scott. For Want of a Patch. For want of a patch the component was lost. For want of a component the stack was lost. For want of a stack the system was lost. For want of a system the message was lost. For want of a message the cyberbattle was lost. For want of a battle the enterprise was lost. And all for the want of a software patch. As the old proverb reminds us, logistics is important: most battles are over before they’ve begun due to having or not having a solid logistics tail.

'By SeanLawson. In recent weeks, the American casual dining restaurant chain TGI Fridays has gotten a lot of buzz as a result of news that it would deploy a mistletoe drone in its restaurants. The idea was that the mistletoe-carrying drone would fly around the restaurant and hover above unsuspecting customers, thereby forcing them to kiss. All of this would be recorded by the drone’s onboard camera, of course.

'By SeanLawson. Fears related to drone safety, in particular concerns about so-called “near misses” with manned aircraft, have gotten a lot of attention in recent weeks. More detailed analysis , however, has shown those fears to have been greatly exaggerated. Nonetheless, they have resulted in one senator’s call for an expansion of the FAA’s drone ban to include not just commercial drones but all private drones.

I’m working on a project that requires Geo proximity search. Basically, what I’m doing is plotting a radius around a point on a map, which is defined by the distance between two points on the map given their latitudes and longitudes. To achieve this I’m using the Haversine formula (spherical trigonometry). This equation is important in navigation, it gives great-circle distances between two points on a sphere from their longitudes and latitudes.
