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.

CIO Ted Ross believes the honeymoon is over for breakneck productivity when it comes to hybrid work, and he’s not the only one. Tech employees at the City of Los Angeles IT agency who were forced to work remotely in the early pandemic days were very efficient, Ross says. “Fully into the pandemic we had a 34% increase in project delivery,” he adds. But since then, productivity and innovation have waned, in part because of fading relationships between once in-person teams, along with a slew of new

Dirty Pipe ( CVE-2022-0847 ) proved that there is a new way to exploit Linux syscalls to write to files with a read-only privileges. The fact that someone can write to a file regardless of its permissions is a big security threat. An application of this vulnerability would be to write on the host from an unprivileged container. Keep in mind that this vulnerability is a kernel vulnerability which makes it hard, or even impossible, for user-mode runtime monitoring programs to detect this sort of f

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.

The latest McKinsey Global Survey on AI proves that AI adoption continues to grow and that the benefits remain significant. But in the COVID-19 pandemic’s first year, many felt more strongly about the cost-savings front than the top line. At the same time, AI remains complex and out of reach for many. For example, a recent IDC study 1 shows that it takes about 290 days on average to deploy a model into production from start to finish.
