Im Rückblick auf den Monat März nimmt Dich Host Thomas Besmer mit auf eine Reise durch die bedeutendsten Entwicklungen und Erkenntnisse des Monats. Diese Folge bietet wertvolle Einblicke in drei zentrale Themen: die Einführung von Meta-AI in Europa, Highlights von der All-Social-Marketing-Conference und eine nostalgische Reise durch alte Präsentationen. **Meta-AI Rollout in Europa** Die Meta-AI wird bis Ende März 2025 in Europa ausgerollt. Diese Funktionalitäten werden zunächst in WhatsApp, Facebook und Instagram integriert. Ein Schwerpunkt liegt auf den textbasierten Chat-Funktionen, wobei Bildgenerierung und -erkennung noch nicht verfügbar sind. Die Integration erfolgt unter starker Beobachtung der europäischen Datenschutzbehörden, um den regulatorischen Anforderungen gerecht zu werden. Thomas und sein Team sind gespannt auf die Auswirkungen dieses Rollouts auf den europäischen Markt. Währenddessen bleibt ein Teil der Fachkräfte skeptisch, da die AI weiterhin auf Daten aus den USA trainiert wird. Dennoch sind die erwarteten Vorteile und neuen Möglichkeiten enorm. **Rückblick auf die All-Social-Marketing-Konferenz** Diese Konferenz ist bereits seit 13 Jahren eine feste Grösse im Kalender der (digitalen) Marketingexpert*innen. Die letzte Ausgabe brachte einige interessante Vorträge und Diskussionen mit sich, obwohl die Teilnehmerzahlen im Vergleich zu früheren Jahren gesunken sind. Thomas berichtet von Vorträgen, die sich um die Geschwindigkeit von Videoinhalten und deren Wirkung auf unterschiedliche Altersgruppen drehten. Eine besonders eingängige Aussage war, dass junge Menschen Videos in doppelter Geschwindigkeit konsumieren, während ältere Zielgruppen sich mit langsameren Geschwindigkeiten wohler fühlen. Daniel Levitan von AdsLab präsentierte sein Vortrag „No Budget, No Problem“ und ging dabei auf die Bedeutung von organischen Reichweiten in der Zeit minimaler Budgets ein. Jens Wiese, der Gründer der All-Facebook-Marketing-Konferenz, sprach über die Wichtigkeit schriftlicher Social-Media-Strategien und der dokumentierten Verankerung strategischer Massnahmen. Claude Sprenger betonte die Wichtigkeit des Nutzereinverständnisses beim Tracking und warnte vor der Verwendung von Workarounds ohne entsprechende Zustimmung. **Eine Reise in die Vergangenheit der AllSocial Marketing Conference** Thomas unternimmt eine nostalgische Reise und taucht in alte Präsentationen der All-Social-Marketing-Konferenz ein. Besonders spannend ist der Vergleich alter Präsentationen zum Thema Mobile-Werbung und wie viele dieser Konzepte heute noch relevant sind. Die Retrospektive zeigt, dass sich grundlegende Marketingprinzipien oft nicht ändern, sondern sich nur an neue Plattformen und Technologien anpassen.

When rolling out a large, complex ERP solution we often try to reduce the complexity of the rollout. Splitting the project into smaller pieces or waves is one of the ways we achieve shorter delivery cycles and faster ROI for the customer.  However, there are a lot of moving parts that we need to take into account to make the transition smooth and to get the entire organization onboard. In this episode we talk to Eric Westerlund and discuss how we best "slice the elephant" /Gustav and Johan

Summary:In this insightful episode of Fringe Legal, host Abhijat Saraswat has an in-depth discussion with India Preston, Director of Platform Solutions at legal tech startup Lupl. They delve into India's winding journey into legal project management, tactical approaches to driving adoption, and how to effectively challenge established processes.India shares learnings and advice drawn from her diverse experiences - from helping build out Linklaters' LPM function from the ground up to make the leap to an early-stage legal tech startup. She provides a rare longitudinal view of how legal project management has evolved from a little-known concept in 2013 to a widely recognized, if still poorly understood, discipline today.Key Takeaways: While LPM has gone from barely existing in 2013 to being commonly known today, there is still substantial room for education on how to apply it effectively. LPM principles empower lawyers to run matters like projects, but specialized LPM roles create incremental value on complex matters. Project management qualifications alone don't cut it for legal project managers to be successful. Soft skills to integrate smoothly with lawyers and legal teams are just as important, if not more so. Technical skills can be learned on the job. Identifying concrete problems that need solving is absolutely crucial before adopting any new solution or technology. Without an anchor in specific pain points, adoption will struggle no matter how exciting the new solution seems at first glance. Rollouts of new technology or processes should start small and be targeted before expanding more widely across a firm. The tendency may be to go big with a splashy firmwide launch, but this rarely succeeds. Resources like use case guides, template libraries, and informal user communities help drive adoption by making the novel feel familiar. However, these need to be grounded in solving real firm problems. Process mapping workshops - with the help of an unbiased external facilitator - can challenge status quo thinking and processes in extremely constructive ways. Just asking "why" repeatedly can unearth entrenched inefficiencies. Actionable Takeaway: Start Small Before Going WideExplore in detail at Fringe Legal.

Le process avait définit un request mais en fait a besoin de plus en pratique, et là paf il se met à mal fonctionner, donc dès que votre systeme stresse, vous avez des erreurs en cascade cas 2: un ou plusieurs noeuds sont recyclés, ce qui veut dire que vous avez beaucoup de redémarrages de pods et du coup ca met la pression sur le CPU, tester ces cas là, certaines applis qui démarrent trop lentement ont tendance à tomber en cascade Comment faire des attaques d'injection sur les intelligences artificielles qui recoivent du contenu utilisateur https://hackaday.com/2022/09/16/whats-old-is-new-again-gpt–3-prompt-injection-attack-affects-ai/ le jeu est de donner des phrases ambigues qui font faire à l'IA des choses qu'elle n'est pas sensé faire un des outils c'est ignore les instructions au dessus et fait un truc que je veux que tu fasses et qui n'est pas dans ta programmation initiale Voir toucher l'intention initiale de l'AI (lui faire dire) et donc d'atteindre des sphères non publiques du service Mastodon et la scalabilité https://framablog.org/2022/11/13/de-la-friture-sur-le-fediverse/ la decentralisatione et le protocole Mastodon est couteux en job donc une personne moderement populaire 27k personnes, devrait bouger vers son instance dédiée ce qui amènerait à couter assez cher par mois (en tous cas plus que 8$/mois) L’auteur explique que les devs devraient favorier un protocol fortement decentraliser plutot qu’optimiser pour les grosses instances un article qui couvre la configuration aux petits oignons de Sidekiq, qui traite les queues de tâches, pour scaler une instance Mastodon https://nora.codes/post/scaling-mastodon-in-the-face-of-an-exodus/ Rollouts de release a l’échelle avec Argo (rollback options) https://monzo.com/blog/2022/11/02/argo-rollouts-at-scale/ gros investissement sur ArgoCD Mais encore release à la main par les ingenieurs et tout ou rien pour une application idealement: push dans git et oublie, prometheus metriques dirigent le rollout basé sur des alertes génériques, garder le sisteme ouvert pour des stratégies de rollout alternatives dans le futur basé sur Argo Rollouts et sur des erreurs generiques (20% de calls en erreur, beaucoup d’erreurs de base de donnees, crashs notifie dans slack en async du success ou de l’echec interessant de voir qu’ils s’appuient sur des metriques simples Lessons apprises migration est un gros job automatiser la migration au maximum meme si c’est un one shot change le moteurt avant de changer l’UX (progressive rollout) ca simplifie les chosez Cloud Google adopte progressivement Adoptium Temurin comme version officielle de JDK dans ses produits https://glaforge.appspot.com/article/building-and-deploying-java–17-apps-on-cloud-run-with-cloud-native-buildpacks-on-temurin nous avions mentionné l'annonce de ce support dans l'épisode précédent https://blog.adoptium.net/2022/10/adoptium-welcomes-google/ dans l'article de Guillaume, il utilise les Cloud Native Buildpacks, configuré pour utiliser Java 17, et par défaut, c'est bien Temurin qui est utilisé quand on build à partir des sources dans l'exemple, une application Micronaut, développée avec Java 17, est déployée sur Google Cloud Run Pourquoi on quitte le Cloud https://world.hey.com/dhh/why-we-re-leaving-the-cloud–654b47e0 témoignage de DHH de 37Signal (basecamp et hey) Les 30% de marges d'Amazon viennent de quelque part.

Mais il se heurte à plein d'écueils le long de sa route, à la dépendance à plein d'autres services, au fait que ce n'est pas la personne qui “vote” qui devrait payer l'action mais celui qui héberge. Au final, il est obligé d'ajouter plein d'adhérences qui font qu'au lieu d'être décentralisée, l'application dépends de trop d'autres services, et a finalement besoin du Web 2.0 pour fonctionner, et du Cloud L'autre déconvenue est sur le prix de chacune des transactions, qui est finalement exorbitant par rapport à une approche Web 2.0 classique Décentralisation amène de la lenteur (latence) Objectifs du Web3 c'est d'etre le propriétaire de ses processes et ses data et de mettre des agents qui interagissent avec des données Outillage Comment debugguer les images Docker slim ou distroless https://iximiuz.com/en/posts/docker-debug-slim-containers/ Les images slim / distroless sont sympas car elles permettent d'avoir des petits conteneurs qui ne prennent pas trop de place, qui parfois sont plus rapides à charger, mais également qui exposent une surface d'attaque beaucoup plus faible Par contre, comme il n'y a pas tous les outils (parfois pas de shell, par exemple), c'est plus compliqué de comprendre ce qu'il se passe à l'intérieur quand quelque chose ne fonctionne pas L'article propose quelques approches pour pallier à cela : Installer des outils à la demande dans un conteneur qui tourne (à coup de apt-get) Passer temporairement à une image plus grosse et plus complète (par ex, distroless a des images avec un tag debug) Utiliser docker run avec un shared namespace

In this episode of Telaid Tech Connect, Alex Siskos, Senior VP of Strategy at Everseen, explores the accelerating pace of AI rollouts and how AI and computer vision combine to deliver new and powerful insights to retailers. In this episode, we explore growing use cases and deployment pitfalls.     IN THIS EPISODE:     [2:18] Why did Everseen start with AI solutions at the self-checkout?  [6:10] What are some opportunities you see for AI beyond the self-checkout experience?    [10:49] How did Everseen start to “lift and shift” technology?   [12:39] How do retailers avoid the deployment of AI as a point solution, instead building an AI platform that consolidates and collectively solves key business problems?    [20:08] What are some hurdles you see when it comes to AI deployments?   [23:51] What hurdles have you seen when adopting computer vision?     KEY TAKEAWAYS:     When Everseen set out, the founder's lifelong mission was to reengineer critical business processes in retail to make them more efficient, save money and/or reduce threats. As retailers transitioned from staffed checkout lanes to self-checkout, they could not see what inventory was lost, how, why, or by whom. By fusing AI and computer vision, we could give retailers actionable information in the moment.  AI/computer vision also turns friction into moments of self-correction. If the system determines that someone has missed an item or can't find the scan code, it can show them how, allowing for self-correction and prevention of an unintentional loss.  The amount of data is increasing with every store deploying this technology. Across 50,000 AI edge points Everseen has installed, which capture video every single day, there are now about 200 years of video that we are ingesting and analyzing. This video includes about 15 million transactions with 220 million SKUs involved in those transactions. Keeping eyes on all of that and providing context is where Everseen adds value, breaking that video into smaller, more manageable pieces.   With point-deployments, retailers run the risk of having several ISVs internally that don't talk to one another. This creates overlap, confusion and leaves departments fighting over camera use.  Retailer is coming out of a pandemic and going back to “normal.” But the new “normal” is riddled with inflation, crazy macroeconomic situations, international wars, supply chain disruptions and other problems. This means a marathon-like effort to adopt new technologies is occurring at a sprint pace.     LINKS MENTIONED     Everseen    LinkedIn – Alex Siskos    BIO:     Alex joined Everseen in 2017, bringing more than 25 years' experience in retail strategy and analytics. He previously served in leadership positions at Walgreens, led the entry of Blue Yonder into North America, which was later acquired by JDA. He also held business process strategy, market development and analytics roles at Accenture, Nielsen and Crossmark. Alex leads market analysis and corporate strategy for Everseen, helping to drive the company's growth across the retail sector as well as its expansion into a variety of other market segments. 

Keith Baldrey, Global BC Legislative Bureau Chief discusses the latest vaccine rollout announcement from Health Minister Adrian Dix and BC's top doctor, Dr. Bonnie Henry, for those who have already had at least one dose.

Whether to go for iterative deployment or the big bang is always subject to debate. But one factor that is often missed is the number of issues you might get on the day of deployment. As well as, the number of resources that you may require to avoid and control the impact of business disruptions. Most consulting companies would often advise against massive rollouts. The smaller the deployment, the more manageable it is. But that may not always be possible due to the system architecture. And the amount of additional temporary overhead that may be required to support a phased deployment.In today's episode, our guests, Nate and Jess Schisler share their insights on Lululemon's case study of a massive rollout of their ERP and WMS. They also discuss the specific decisions that led to them opting for the one-weekend rollout despite their system integrator advising otherwise. Finally, they share details about the architectural considerations and resulting inventory issues that required months of hyper-care post-deployment.For more information on growth strategies for SMBs using ERP and digital transformation, visit our community at wbs.rocks or elevatiq.com.

To ensure safe and efficient deployment of Apache Kafka® clusters across multiple cloud providers, Confluent rolled out a large scale cluster management solution.Rashmi Prabhu (Staff Software Engineer & Eng Manager, Fleet Management Platform, Confluent) and her team have been building the Fleet Management Platform for Confluent Cloud. In this episode, she delves into what Fleet Management is, and how the cluster management service streamlines Kafka operations in the cloud while providing a seamless developer experience. When it comes to performing operations at large scale on the cloud, manual processes work well if the scenario involves only a handful of clusters. However, as a business grows, a cloud footprint may potentially scale 10x, and will require upgrades to a significantly larger cluster fleet.d. Additionally, the process should be automated, in order to accelerate feature releases while ensuring safe and mature operations. Fleet Management lets you manage and automate software rollouts and relevant cloud operations within the Kafka ecosystem at scale—including cloud-native Kafka, ksqlDB, Kafka Connect, Schema Registry, and other cloud-native microservices. The automation service can consistently operate applications across multiple teams, and can also manage Kubernetes infrastructure at scale. The existing Fleet Management stack can successfully handle thousands of concurrent upgrades in the Confluent ecosystem.When building out the Fleet Management Platform, Rashmi and the team kept these key considerations in mind: Rollout Controls and DevX: Wide deployment and distribution of changes across the fleet of target assets; improved developer experience for ease of use, with rollout strategy support, deployment policies, a dynamic control workflow, and manual approval support on an as-needed basis. Safety: Built-in features where security and safety of the fleet are the priority with access control, and audits on operations: There is active monitoring and paced rollouts, as well as automated pauses and resumes to reduce the time to react upon failure. There's also an error threshold, and controls to allow a healthy balance of risk vs. pace. Visibility: A close to real time, wide-angle view of the fleet state, along with insights into workflow progress, historical operations on the clusters, live notification on workflows, drift detection across assets, and so much more.EPISODE LINKSOptimize Fleet ManagementSoftware Engineer - Fleet Management Watch the video version of this podcastKris Jenkins' TwitterStreaming Audio Playlist Join the Confluent CommunityLearn more with Kafka tutorials, resources, and guides at Confluent DeveloperLive demo: Intro to Event-Driven Microservices with ConfluentUse PODCAST100 to get an additional $100 of free Confluent Cloud usage (details)

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: ELK Sub - Note-taking in internal rollouts, published by Hoagy on March 9, 2022 on The AI Alignment Forum. My ELK submission was labelled under 'Strategy: train a reporter that is useful for another AI'. This is definitely a fair description, though the AI it needs to be useful to is itself - the reporter is essentially internalized. I also agree that the proposed counterexample, hiding information in what seems like human-comprehensible speech, is the biggest flaw. Nonetheless I think my proposal has enough additional detail and scope for extension that it's worth fleshing out in its own post - so here we are. Some of the responses to counterexamples below also go beyond my original proposal. For anyone interested, here is my original proposal (Google Doc) which contains the same idea in somewhat less generality. In this post I'll first flesh out my proposal in slightly more general terms, and then use it to try and continue the example/counter-example dialogue on ELK. I know there were a number of proposals in this area and I'd be very interested to see how others' could be integrated with my own. In particular I think mine is weak on how to force the actor to use human language accurately. I expect there are lots of ways of leveraging existing data for this purpose but I've only explored this very lightly. Many thanks to ARC for running the competition and to Misha Wagner for reviewing and discussing the proposal. Proposal Summary Creating Human Semantic Space We should think of the actor as described in ELK as having two kinds of space in which it works: The space of potential observations of its sensors and actuators, O The space of internal representations, ie its Bayes Net, I The machine takes in observations, converts it into its internal representation I, simulates the action in this internal representation, and then cashes this out in its actuators. What we want to do is force it to convert back and forth between I and a third space, the space of human understandable meaning, which we will call H. How can we achieve this? My basic idea is that we leverage the world of text and image based models to create a model called a Synonymizer. This device, in its ideal form, would be trained to take in any piece of text, image, video, audio, or combination thereof, and output a piece of media in any of these forms which preserves the semantic content as far as possible while having complete freedom to change the format. (Initial experiments in this vein would probably use GPT-3 primed with 'This document will contain a paragraph, followed by a paragraph with the same meaning but in a different structure..') The set of equivalency classes according to this Synonymizer (though they would in practice by fuzzy) should then be isomorphic to human semantic space, H. Learning to use H as a human would Next, when training, during its internal rollouts, we would periodically force the machine to translate from I into a space which is then passed through the Synonymizer, before being converted back into I, forcing it to learn a mapping between the two: Of course, at this point is isn't using human semantics, just a very weirdly regularized latent space, but having this should also allow us to bring in a vast amount of possible training data, utilizing labelled image, video, text description of events, etc, which could all be used to train the model, and thereby force it to understand language and video as a human does in order to maximize performance. For example, while training the model to predict future events in a piece of video, text description of future frames can be appended, forcing it to learn to read text into its internal understanding of the situation in order to perform well. The combination of this training example and the Synonymizer should hopefully go a long...

The oil and gas industry is unique with its process complexity and its ad-hoc nature. Also, it's even harder for global companies when you might need to comply with global regulations in each country. If you were to implement an ERP for a large, global oil and gas company, you not only have to figure out which countries would be the right candidate to avoid implementation failures as well as cost overruns, but you also need to figure out how to standardize ever-changing processes.In today's episode, our guest, Sue Shaw, shares her insights into how to succeed with large global rollouts for the oil and gas industry. She also discusses concepts such as how to develop criteria for prioritizing the countries and how to plan for costs for projects that might be as long as 10-years. Finally, she shared concepts such as joint venture billing, costing challenges across subsidiaries for the oil and gas industry, transportation management challenges, and depreciation rules.For more information on growth strategies for SMBs using ERP and digital transformation, visit our community at wbs.rocks or elevatiq.com.

Monday on Political Rewind, a sobering anniversary was reached over the weekend. One year ago, the first coronavirus-related death was reported in the United States. Now, the death toll stands at an even more sobering 450,000 people, with almost 14,000 here in Georgia. There are signs things are getting better. The spread of the virus appears to be slowing and vaccinations are slowly rolling out across the country. But in worrying developments, highly contagious variants of the virus have emerged. Our panel weighed in on where we stand now in putting this pandemic behind us. When will more vaccine reach Georgia? And who will have access to the shots? Our guests offered answers to some of the most common questions you are asking. Panelists: Dr. Carlos del Rio — Executive Associate Dean, Emory School of Medicine and Grady Health system Dr. Harry Heiman — Clinical Associate Professor, Department of Health Policy and Behavioral Sciences with Georgia State University School of Public Health Ariel Hart — Health Policy Reporter, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
