People swear that weird stuff goes down on a full moon. In fact, even SERIOUS folks like the nerds who work in ERs will tell you that something is off about those nights. And what's amazing is that science has actually looked at this. And … there is some weird stuff here! From animals to ERs to our circadian rhythms to our menstrual cycles, we'll find out — is something afoot during a full moon? We talk to Emeritus Prof. of emergency medicine Dr. Wendy Coates and circadian rhythm researchers Prof. Horacio de la Iglesia, Prof. Kristin Teßmar-Raible, and Prof. Charlotte Helfrich-Förster.

Software developers combine Artificial Intelligence with IT Operations and have produced a new acronym called AIOps. Today, we explored some of the best practices for making software development more productive with AIOps. Legacy systems are an excellent application for AIOps, but Kevin Walsh from the GAO notes that it may be more economical to maintain legacy systems in place. Christopher Clark from the U.S. Marine Corps suggests listening to users through starting AI Task Forces. They can help identify the use cases that would validate the expense of moving to AIOps. One obvious win might be minimal risk, high-impact activities. Clark mentions preventative maintenance as a potential target. ROI from reducing costs can be apparent. Furthermore, a help desk can pose a negligible risk and have a relatively high impact on servicing needs of Marines. One likely candidate for applied AIOps is managing the changes in a code set that takes place. BMC's Katie Tierney states that in a typical DevSecOps environment, there could be thousands of changes a day, which exceeds human capability. The overview is apparent: ensure appropriate oversight, governance, and transparency measures are in place when deploying agentic AI systems.
