Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. 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.

#1,718 – Humidifiers To The Rescue

Greatest. Idea. Ever.

It has long been rumored that heat may be able to counteract the devastating effects of the coronavirus which is why UV lights have proven to be an effective sanitation tool and why a lot of people think that the virus might subside in the summer time before a second wave hits later in the year. However, two new studies seem to indicate that it is actually relative humidity that plays a key role, not heat itself, with dry air like that found inside offices, or on airplanes, that allows the viru

#1,721 – Peel Off Membranes For Masks

Greatest. Idea. Ever.

Yet another mask innovation could aid our ongoing battle against COVID-19. This time it takes the form of a peel-off membrane that could allow N95 surgical masks to be reused many times.

What is the Goal of Innovation?

CREATORS

For the past years, I have been asked many times by our partners to define the goal of innovation. Since innovation became a buzzword in every industry, I find many people confused about the objectives of innovation, what is considered to be innovative and what is the role of the people who lead innovation processes in their organizations.

#1,717 – Social Bubbles

Greatest. Idea. Ever.

Today is Father’s Day. A special day for families around the country who want to celebrate the amazing dad or father figure in their lives. But if you are strictly quarantining (like you’re supposed to be doing) and haven’t been seeing your father or children either out of an abundance of caution or because they are in a high risk category then it may not be such a special day this year.

#1,719 – Antibodies May Not Last Long

Greatest. Idea. Ever.

Americans are not suited for a pandemic. Quarantining is inconvenient and unsustainable, wearing a mask impinges on our freedom and contact tracing violates our privacy. If it means saving the economy we’ll sacrifice our grandparents. Anything in the name of capitalism.

#1,720 – TasteMask

Greatest. Idea. Ever.

The other day I was joking with a few people about having masks that would come with flys or zippers so that you could still eat or drink while wearing them. And as it turns out that’s not as silly of an idea as you might imagine. In fact, it’s now a real thing thanks to beverage maker Crook and Marker. As they put it on their website: “Keep your face covered, or take a sip of your favorite alcoholic beverage?
