I’m currently working with a client who is very immature when it comes to data analysis. This particular client has no history of analyzing data and barely any history of reporting. Their idea of analysis is looking at a few finance reports to see how the business is doing. Now, if this particular client was a small business, I’d have no problem with this approach… but they aren’t.

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.

When someone says that the data integration process is automated, I suggest asking questions to clarify what they mean by automated. You'll probably conclude that the process is anything but automated let alone reliable, scalable, secure, or configurable. To some, automation implies efficient and reliable but still including manual steps so long as they are performed quickly and easily.

Recently, I had to deploy an application, IntApp, with minimal intrusion and no reboots. Part of the process was to restart the application after a successful installation. The crux was that the application has to run under the user credentials. The app starts every time a system is logged into, but with laptops, that could have been a long time until the user actually rebooted the machine.

by Kevin L. Jackson Yes, y ou read that right. The price/performance of your cloud computing infrastructure could vary as much as 1000 percent depending on time and location. High levels of variability have actually been seen within the same cloud service provider (CSP) processing the exact same job. This also means that the cost to you of processing the exact same job in the cloud could vary by this much as well.

This week, the news is on OPM's data breach of 21 million users and their lack of investment and follow through on resolving security issues identified by auditors. My first thought on seeing these failures is that.

Here is a function that will uninstall an MSI installed application by the name of the app. You do not need to input the entire name either. For instance, say you are uninstalling all previous versions of Adobe Reader. Adobe Reader is always labeled Adobe Reader X, Adobe Reader XI, and so forth. You just need to enter Adobe Reader as the application name and the desired switches.

The prevailing feeling about why there has been so little focus on securing control systems is that it isn’t real. What I constantly hear is “once there is a real control system cyber incident I will spend the time and money to address the problem”. Unfortunately, there have been already been many very significant control system cyber incidents. However, for various reasons, almost none have been identified as cyber.

Data compression today is still as important as it was in the early days of computing.

In this weekend's back to basic reading we go back in time, 1987 to be specific, when Leweler and Hirschberg wrote a survey paper that covers the 40 years o

The vision for long-term transformation is required for the change to be effective and lasting. Change becomes new normal because of the "VUCA" characteristics of the digital dynamic. Traditional step-by-step Change Management as a one-time initiative or isolated approach might not work any longer for constant and multitude of change. Companies need to embed a changeable mindset in their culture and build change capabilities among all staff, not only managers in a continuous way.

The initial die or basic chip building block 3D XPoint implementation is a layer 128 Gbit device which if using 8 bits would yield 16GB raw. Over time increased densities should become available as the bit density improves with more cells and further scaling of the technology, combined with packaging. For example while a current die could hold up to 16 GBytes of data, multiple dies could be packaged together to create a 32GB, 64GB, 128GB etc. or larger actual product.
