While RIM scrambles to create the next greatest device, or their “iPhone killer” it needs to recognize that it’s no longer about the device. RIM don’t you remember that touchscreens aren’t new. Palm had them back in the 90?s … before you crushed them.

Speaker: Aarushi Kansal, AI Leader & Author and Tony Karrer, Founder & CTO at Aggregage

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.

Does social media make you more social?

I'm not lost, I'm wondering

A common misconception about autistic individuals is that they shun social contact, that they are all introverts. But in many cases it is simply the means - not the desire - to be social that eludes them.

Keynote: The Future of Technology in Aged Care

Last week I gave a keynote speech on The Future of Technology in Aged Care at the Aged Care Association Annual Congress.
