Of course, business security is also important when considering the value of your employees and their dignity. Securing your parking area is just as important as locking your doors.

I'll be writing occasionally for my friends at the Collective - a group focused on autonomy, mobility and the use of drones. I think this group has an excellent opportunity to create new solutions and influence new products. I've learned a lot this summer, especially about drones, because I bought one and started flying it, and my son interned with a drone company.

When we hear people talk about innovation, we often hear it being used as a synonym for new products, or perhaps new features in existing products. In reality, that is quite a narrow view of innovation and, in our experience, it is one of the root causes leading to many of the mistakes inexperienced innovators make. Getting past the implications caused by this can often be challenging, especially in larger organizations where everyone won't be familiar with innovation.

One of the major problems with solar energy is figuring out a way to store excess energy for future use. At first glance you might think that you would need to create a new method to handle these storage needs but that doesn’t necessarily have to be the case. In fact, we may be able to store energy inside of a brick wall by utilizing the bricks themselves.

A method that will be able to regrow more than just bone.

Oil and gas companies have increasingly faced the twin challenges of low prices and increased competition from renewables. The COVID-19 pandemic has made the situation much more difficult. For example, the US benchmark for the price per barrel of crude dropped from $63 in January to below zero in April. Since then, the price climbed back up to about $41, which is a third lower than before COVID-19 became a reality in the US.

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. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.
