You have no idea how thankful that you explained that. I watched the Cantrill video. As somebody that dealt this Oracle, it struck home.

The challenge on these types of things is making sure you have somebody modeling the impact then being accountable to the numbers they produce. As a massive Deming guy, any model t…

By the way, I've been using a Whisper model, specifically WhisperX, to do all my work, and for whatever reason I just simply was not familiar with the Handy app. I've now downloade…

The benches inside of IBM were phenomenally deep. They did not need to go to the outside world.However the research arm was divided into a bunch of buckets in each division had a t…

As an industry insider, I have never heard the one percent. I'm not saying that it's not possible, but I don't recall ever hearing of us testing for it. So what is the source of th…

As somebody that actually had development experiences, both PC companies and in the hard drive industry, I posted an upper level post on this. I won't repeat it here, but an awful …

I won't repeat it here, but I posted What I saw as an insider. I think that not all of the facts were quite right. However, some of the overtones definitely are.

The story is slightly unusual because I was actually managing a part of the engineering group at IBM that was integrating hard disk drives into ThinkPads during that era. I am not …

I arrived at IBM just a little before Gerstner got there. He was an absolutely amazing individual in terms of how he spoke incredibly bluntly to everyone. At IBM, it was all about …

It's almost comical isn't it, but it actually turns out that this is a big foundation behind behavioral economics. In essence you can get trapped in an upper level heuristic and ne…

Yep sorry about that lost track of who did what. But thank you for actually some very insightful comments and actually digging into the details. And I do agree with your contention…

Okay I think I understand what happened. A couple posts ago you listed to an executive summary for CASPEH. I don't believe you've ever read the complete report, which is around 96 …

Do me a favor. Tell me why do you think it's a stretch (to assume that this is a job's issue). This would appear to me to be an intuitive statement and possibly is simply created b…

There is very good research to indicate that when housing costs a lot, versus geos where housing costs a little, homelessness clearly is lower. while this is not causation, the cor…

Peter Drucker popularized the phrase "Efficiency is doing things right; effectiveness is doing the right things." Being a credibly efficient at doing the wrong things, turns out to…

The challenge is that we have a rapidly evolving GLP/GIP/Other landscape being developed. In other words, you take a risk that the government buys the wrong thing. However, I think…

At the time of the FAA making up this framework, I would venture more than half of commercial pilots had some military aviation background. It is so close to Boyd's model, I would …

Throw in confirmation bias https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias and you have a lot of inertia from changing. Not only do they not have the right info, but because they h…

Another variation of this are GLP 1 drugs. Obesity costs USA $1.75T ( https://milkeninstitute.org/content-hub/news-releases/econom... , grossed up for inflation) Number of people t…

I always thought this was a great implementation if you have a Cuda layer: https://github.com/rgcodeai/Kit-Whisperx I had an old Acer laptop hanging around, so I implemented this: …

Great story and brought up on Hacker News on a regular cycle: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26735958 While I love the Hacker News purity, takes me back to Usenet, it makes m…

I don't think this was what the external post was about. The Blue Tax was put on everybody, and was a requirement for a business model. The external post said nobody really wanted …

While I don't want to dismiss your living through something, nor your wife's work history, by 2002, a lot of this had transitioned. I have a weird career where I was inside the doo…

Ah, you are dredging up memories. I've done both marketing and engineering. I managed a group at RTP responsible for a part of the engineering for PC, Thinkpads, and the Server gro…

I don't think you probably have the history to frame this correctly. Apple was dying. Somehow Steve got his foot in the door at the beginning of '97, and kicked out Gil in around 7…
