Concern has been mounting that the attitude the Information Commissioner’s Office is currently taking towards charities will result in it becoming even harder to raise funds from supporters and potential supporters. New guidance about how charities should obtain consent to contact supporters, and how this consent should be used, has recently been published by both the ICO and the Fundraising Regulator.

What is smart? Some communities are finding out. harini.kottees…. Wed, 03/22/2017 - 07:00. Today, many affiliate the word “smart” with technology – smart phones, smart TVs, smart homes, etc. - but is infusing the latest technology in all aspects of life necessarily the smart thing to do? Not always. What is smart is to understand what your highest priorities are and invest in those areas to make improvements that produce maximum results.

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. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

Think of why you run the DB2 for z/OS REORG utility, and a number of reasons are likely to come quickly to mind: to restore row order per a table's clustering key; to reestablish free space (for inserts and/or for updates ); to remove the AREO* status set for a table space following (for example) an ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN operation; or to materialize a pending DDL change such as an enlargement of a table space's DSSIZE.
