'The post AdTech Is Alive and Well: I’ll Have the Full Stack, Please appeared first on John Battelle's Search Blog. Reading The Information’s piece on Facebook’s reported re-introduction of the Atlas ad-serving technology , I wondered – Does the market really need six or more full stack adtech solutions?

Robert's Db2

AUGUST 29, 2014

I recently received an interesting message from a mainframe DB2 person I've known for a long time. At his DB2 10 for z/OS site, 1 MB page frames had recently been made available on the System z servers, and my friend moved to leverage this resource via page-fixed DB2 buffer pools. Nothing unusual there. What's interesting is the information he saw in the output of -DISPLAY BUFFERPOOL commands subsequently entered for the page-fixed pools.

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.

Robert's Db2

AUGUST 25, 2014

The answer to the question in the title of this post is, "No, it can't -- unless it can." How's that for a hook? OK, a little background. A DBAT is a database access thread. It's the kind of thread that a network-attached application process uses to interact with a DB2 for z/OS system (such a process, also referred to as a DRDA requester, issues SQL statements that get to DB2 by way of the distributed data facility, aka DDF).

On August 19, 2014, the German Federal Ministry of the Interior published a revised draft cybersecurity law (the “Draft Law”). An earlier version of the law was published in March 2013. The Draft Law is intended to serve as a cornerstone of Germany’s recently-announced digital agenda. “Critical Infrastructure” and Security Requirements.

Yesterday I stumbled onto a fascinating PBS Newshour interview with book designer Peter Mendelsund, well-regarded for his cover treatments of titles ranging from George Dyson’s Turing’s Cathedral to The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Mendelsen argued that when we read, we visualize the text, each of us creating a different reality in our minds.
