For the longest time, cable television was a miraculous technology that not everybody had in their homes, mostly because not everybody could afford it.

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.

There’s more farming space available, even in urban areas, and this means that people are able to buy some land and begin the farming process relatively easy.

Scaling transformational innovations in large companies is challenging due to ‘Company Fit’ issues, which arise when the resources, processes, and priorities (RPPs) of the core business are not aligned with the needs of the new business.

You know it’s something that you want to do, and always have, even though you don’t know what. It just feels right. So, when you get to the point that you feel like you can finally start, it can be scary. You might wonder whether you’ll be able to make it work, or whether you’ll fall at the first hurdle.

They don’t always get the recognition they deserve and areas like marketing and sales are the ones that get a pat on the back when the company is doing well, but the HR department has such an important role to play.
