A highlight of TED this year was watching my pal Rob Reid do a short talk on the math of those who claim piracy is killing the content business. It’s short, it’s really funny, and it’s a prequel of sorts for Rob’s wonderful new comic novel, which comes out in May.

Sometimes an APAR (in IBM-ese, a description of a software functional enhancement or defect correction effected via application of a fix) is not what it -- at first -- seems. Take DB2 for z/OS APAR PM29226 , for example. The opening sentence of the brief (just one paragraph) APAR text reads as follows: "This APAR provides sample job DSNTEJ67 which initiates the process of converting source for an external SQL procedure into source for a native SQL procedure.

Interesting view from Unesco about the economics of open source for a fully functioning OAIS digital preservation solution. Unesco is a big supporter of open source but it notes that when there is a need for a fully integrated standards based system for storage and management suitable for long term access an open source solution requires significant financial resource.

Quick, what’s LinkedIn? If you’re like me, the first thing that comes to mind is “a professional social network.” Perhaps “a place to get a job, or find someone to fill a job.” Or maybe “the place my professional resume lives.” And certainly “a very successful Internet IPO.” But over the two years or so, LinkedIn has quietly built itself into a significant media business.

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.

I am in the midst of writing a post on the history of FM, and I thought it’d be fun to post the PDF linked to below.

We created the document as an addendum to our first ever CM Summit conference, as a way of describing why we were launching the conference.

( image ) Facebook claims the data we create inside Facebook is ours – that we own it. In fact, I confirmed this last week in an interview with Facebook VP David Fischer on stage at FM’s Signal P&G conference in Cincinnati. In the conversation, I asked Fischer if we owned our own data. He said yes. Perhaps unfairly (I’m pretty sure Fischer is not in charge of data policy), I followed up my question with another: If we own our own data, can we therefore take it out of Fac
