Rick Delgado. Video cameras are everywhere these days. Research from IHS Technology estimates that up to 245 million cameras were operational, and that was only at the end of 2014. That number has only increased since then. People and organizations have used video surveillance for many use cases, most of which we are all familiar with. Video cameras are used to help deter crime and help find criminals after a crime, for example.

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.

Roger Hockenberry. Government agencies face increasing pressure to be “innovative,” but as is the case with most big ideas, defining exactly what that means is difficult, at best. Most don’t consider that innovation doesn’t necessarily mean creating something new, but can simply mean doing something you already do, differently. For most enterprises, innovation is really about increasing effectiveness.

If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.
