Podcasts about upscaling

On this week's show look at five trends that are shaping home theaters in 2025 and we look at what will drive home automation into the next decade. Pulse we read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: Kaleidescape Introduces the New Strato M Movie Player Police shut down Minecraft movie screening after audience trashes theater SVS 5000 R|Evolution Series Subwoofer Other: When Google Assistant is phased out, what happens to our smart speakers? Here are Five Trends Shaping Home Theater Experiences in 2025: 1. Immersive Audio Systems: Dolby Atmos and DTS:X continue to dominate, with more homes adopting multi-dimensional sound setups. Ceiling speakers and soundbars with upward-firing drivers are increasingly popular, creating a cinema-like audio bubble. 2. 8K Resolution Adoption: While 4K remains standard, 8K TVs and projectors are gaining traction as prices drop and content becomes more available. Upscaling tech also enhances older media, making the jump to 8K more appealing. 3. Smart Integration: Home theaters are syncing up with smart home ecosystems—think voice-controlled lighting, motorized screens, and AI-driven content recommendations. Systems like Google Home or Alexa are seamlessly tied to AV receivers and streaming devices. 4. Modular and Compact Designs: Space-saving solutions are on the rise. All-in-one projectors with built-in streaming, or modular furniture with hidden speakers, cater to smaller living spaces without sacrificing quality.   5. Gaming-Centric Features: With next-gen consoles and PCs pushing boundaries, low-latency displays (120Hz+ refresh rates) and variable refresh rate (VRR) support are must-haves. Home theaters are doubling as gaming hubs, blending entertainment modes. Will AI Drive Home Automation into the Next Decade? One of the biggest advancements in home automation technology in recent years is the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning into smart home systems. This has taken home automation beyond simple remote control and scheduling to a level where devices can learn from user habits, adapt to preferences, and make intelligent decisions autonomously. Those who are fans of AI point to smart thermostats like the Nest or Ecobee and claim that these devices don't just follow a preset schedule anymore—they analyze your temperature preferences, daily routines, and even local weather patterns to optimize heating and cooling. Over time, they adjust themselves to save energy while keeping you comfortable, often without any manual input.  But this isn't really asking Ai to do much. Once you set a thermostat with your preferences it just needs to determine whether you are home or away and go into the appropriate mode. There is nothing revolutionary or even AI about it.  However, AI-powered hubs like Amazon's Alexa, Google Home, or Apple's HomeKit have gotten smarter with natural language processing and interoperability. They c an now coordinate multiple devices—lights, locks, cameras, appliances—through a single voice command or trigger complex routines based on contextual cues like, “I'm home” could unlock the door, turn on lights, and start the coffee maker. The latest advancements also include predictive behavior, where systems anticipate needs—like dimming lights when it's movie time or locking doors when you leave—based on historical data. What's making this possible is the combination of faster processors, cheaper sensors, and cloud computing, alongside AI models that can crunch data in real time. Add in 5G and Matter (the new universal smart home standard), and you've got faster, more reliable communication between devices, even across different brands.  But a real game-changer is edge AI—processing data locally on devices rather than in the cloud. This boosts speed, privacy, and reliability, even if your internet drops. Picture a security camera that instantly recognizes a package delivery and unlocks the door for the courier, all without checking with the cloud first. So what do you think will drive home automation in the future?

In this episode of the Upscaling from Hobbyist to Sideliner series, we explore the business side of beekeeping with two beekeepers who successfully made the leap. Hosts Jeff Ott and Becky Masterman are joined by Tara Dawn Chapman of Two Hives Honey in Austin, Texas, and Jay Williams of Williams Honey Farm in Tennessee. Tara and Jay share their personal journeys—both of which began outside of agriculture—detailing their challenges, missteps, and the pivotal moments that shaped their businesses. From scaling their apiaries to diversifying their revenue streams, they offer practical advice for beekeepers looking to turn their passion into a sustainable business. One of the biggest lessons they emphasize is that beekeeping businesses don't have to rely solely on honey sales. Both guests discuss the role of agribusiness opportunities, including hive tours, honey tastings, VIP yard management, and B2B partnerships. They highlight the importance of branding, marketing, and pricing honey appropriately, noting that storytelling and quality presentation can dramatically increase a product's perceived value. Throughout the conversation, they reflect on the pitfalls of trying to do everything at once and why finding a niche is key. They explain how agritourism can supplement income, even in regions with inconsistent honey flows, and share insights on hiring employees in a beekeeping business. The discussion also covers state and federal grants that beekeepers can apply for to expand operations, and why pricing honey at premium rates is often more sustainable than undercutting the market. If you're thinking about expanding your beekeeping beyond the hobbyist level, this episode is packed with insights, strategies, and real-world advice from beekeepers who have successfully made the transition. If you're looking to make honey harvesting more manageable and efficient, this episode provides the guidance you need to take the next step.

"For me, it really goes back to basic human needs, almost."How can the sense of community support Data Professionals? We dive deep into this question with Tiankai Feng, a prominent figure in data governance and the Data Strategy and Data Governance lead at ThoughtWorks Europe. In this season four premiere of MetaDAMA, Tiankai shares his unique journey and how his passion for music plays a pivotal role in his professional and personal life. His story underscores the multidimensional nature of data professionals and the importance of a supportive community.Building and nurturing internal communities is crucial. Tiankai and Winfried discuss how data governance conferences serve as therapeutic spaces, offering more than just professional development—they provide emotional and communal support. We explore various community models like grassroots movements and rotational leadership, highlighting the indispensable role of leadership in fostering these spaces. Recognizing and valuing community leaders is essential for sustaining these supportive networks within organizations.Lastly, we delve into practical strategies for building strong data management communities. From integrating community introductions into onboarding processes to using these groups as recruitment tools, we cover it all. We also examine how company culture shapes the type of communities that flourish and the support provided by external organizations like DAMA. Joining communities helps alleviate isolation, share solutions, and foster a connected environment. Tune in to learn how to make community engagement a cornerstone of data governance and elevate both personal and professional growth.Here are my key takeaways:Communities in organizationsCommunity is needed as a counterpart to the transactional behavior in a workplace.Communities of Practice is an established model, that comes from a technical side, methodology focuses.Communities can create new lines of communication, that can help spread a sense of belonging in an organization, beyond a specific department or team.Leadership needs to accept that being in a Community is also part of the job.Community leaders need recognition and to be valued for their work.The «smartest person in the room» should not be the leader of a Community - this can turn a community into a lecture setting.Ensure that organizational hierarchies are «flattened» in a Community, to support physiological safety and freedom to speak.Ensure you have some rules of engagement or code of conduct in place.Breakout groups can be a way to get everyone to participate actively in the Community.Leadership plays an important role to promote Communities in an organization.Well functioning Communities of Practice can become a selling point for recruitment.DAMA as a CommunityA Community for Data professionals outside their organizations.The most outstanding impact DAMA can have is networking in a broad community, both local/national, but also internationally across sectors.There is an element of mentioning and coaching that a community of this size can offer.Another factor can be talent-sourcing: both for organizations, but also for job-seekers.Upscaling and learning are a great part of the DAMA Community, also including the CDMP certification.You need to find your balance between domain or sector specific communities and large data communities like DAMA.SOME CommunityYou need to be conscious about what you are reading on SOME.It can be a great place to provoke some new thoughts and get perspective on your work.There is certainly an entertainment factor to using SOME. Humor can heal a lot, and laughing about challenges we face as Data folks is like therapy.

Have no fear, your new wingman is here! AI is by your side and ready to help you multiply your abilities. Patrick Johnson, Director of the Workforce Innovation Directorate at the DoD CIO discusses how his team is working to further implement AI ethically and safely in areas such as human capital to expedite finding talent. Patrick also shares his passion for building cyclical pipelines to ensure that talent, and ideas, flow seamlessly between the government and private sector. Join us as we dive further into AI's benefits and how government and industry can be cyber workforce innovation partners.Key Topics02:06 Lag in civilian workforce training upscaling needed.03:19 Balancing talent, training and automation for better security.08:22 Leaders understand AI as a force multiplier.12:15 Our motivations are different; utilizing AI for advancement.15:25 AI used for maintenance, scheduling, monitoring issues.

He notes that the DoD has the biggest gap in the civilian cyber workforce, which makes up about 75,000 people. According to Patrick, one of the key problems when bringing new cybersecurity technologies online is failing to adequately train the existing workforce on how to use and get value from those technologies. Training and Upscaling the Current Cyber WorkforceRather than pursuing full re-skilling of employees which can set them back, Patrick advocates for upskilling the current DoD cyber workforce. This involves assessing talent and capability gaps. Then providing the workforce with the necessary training to perform new technologies appropriately. Patrick states that partnering workforce members with automated processes like AI can help them become more effective by highlighting key info and threats.The Importance of Training and Upscaling in the Cyber Workforce: "Well, it's great to put new technology on the table. But if you don't take the time to train the workforce you have in the programs or the systems you're bringing online, you lose that effectiveness and you don't really gain the efficiencies or the objectives that you need to be."— Patrick JohnsonAutomation and AIAI Is Seen as a Partnership With the Human Cyber WorkforcePatrick views AI as a partnership with the human workforce rather than a threat. He emphasizes that AI should be seen as a "wingman or wingperson" that boosts productivity and acts as a force multiplier. Patrick explains that AI excels at rote, tedious tasks allowing the human workforce to focus more on creativity.AI Helps With Rote and Tedious TasksAccording to Patrick, AI is adept at attention-to-detail tasks that would be tedious for a human to manually perform. He provides the example of a cybersecurity analyst or defender whose productivity can be enhanced by AI highlighting anomalies in data...

Since 2020, not only some national governments but also many large multinational companies have announced their climate pledges - reaching net zero emissions by 2050. Among them are some oil and natural gas giants, such as BP, Shell, Chevron and ExxonMobil, which are the majors in the industry and the top contributors of the carbon emissions across the corporate world.  • How do we understand the majors' mid-term and long-term climate strategies? • Shall the end-users of oil and gas products, like the global consumers of conventional vehicles, share the responsibilities of burning dirty fuels, emitting carbon dioxide and causing climate change?• Among regulating corporations by setting up a phase-out timeline of old technology, nudging consumers to change behavior, and subsidizing the growth of a new low-carbon technology, which option shall policy makers choose?  • Why is it controversial for the majors from both Europe and the United States to invest in large amount of carbon offset projects? • Can the majors bet on the promised development of new technologies, like carbon capture and storage and direct air capture, and go through the energy transition in the long run? In this episode, Dr. Gregory Trencher from Kyoto University in Japan shares his research findings and viewpoints based on a new paper which he co-authors with the other two scholars.Further Reading: Trencher, G., Blondeel, M. and Asuka, J.

As AI advances with technologies such as GPT-4, companies are beginning to come to terms with the fact that “soft skill” education is crucial in creating a future industry for the retail world. GPT-4 functions as a natural language processing tool driven by tech that can use its language model for hard skills such as answering questions and assisting with tasks such as composing emails, essays, and code.How, exactly, is the rapid development of AI and the hard skills it is equipped with influencing the retail industry's workforce?On this episode of Retail Refined, Host Melissa Gonzalez, live at Shoptalk Europe 2023, discusses the importance of adapting to new technology for the future of IKEA with the Group People & Culture Manager of IKEA Retail (Ingka Group), Ulrika Biesèrt. With that in mind, Ingka Group and IKEA plan on implementing 3,500 new jobs and opening 17 new locations in the United States alone. Already, the group has invested over ten million euros on educational programs to promote said soft skills as “hard skills.”“Technology, advancement, digitalization, and automatization will have a huge impact on us as coworkers and we [as a company] really need to understand [as to] what we need to do to reskill and upscale,” Biesèrt said.Gonzalez and Biesèrt also discussed...● How everyone can thrive in the current work environment● The mismatch between the skills workers have and the skills they need● The future of IKEA with reskilling and upscaling through democratic learning“I hear us talking about that there is a need of ‘soft skills.' I think they are hardcore skills in the future. So, lead organization, artificial intelligence. Where will people add value? It's innovation, it's creativity, it's more emotional intelligence. How do I meet the customer?... and I think we need to be training them as hardcore skills and not treating them as soft skills,” Biesèrt explained.Ulrika Biesèrt, IKEA Retail (Ingka Group People & Culture manager), is a member of the Ingka Group Management team. It is key to her role to ensure the company is always guided by its purpose and values, keeping customers and co-workers at the heart of what it does so that both business and people grow together.
