The post FaceSense: Sometimes (OK, A Lot of Times) Your Predictions Are A Tad Early appeared first on John Battelle's Search Blog. Way back in 2012 – four years ago in real time, three decades or so in Internet time – I predicted that Facebook would build an alternative to Google’s AdSense based on its extraordinary data set. I was right, but…off by a few years.

This post looks at how an attacker can intercept and read emails sent from one email provider to another by performing a DNS MX record hijacking attack. While our research on the state of email delivery security indicates that this attack is less pervasive than the TLS downgrade attack discussed in a previous post, it is equally effective at defeating email in-transit encryption.

I am excited to announce that as the newly independent Preservica, we have just moved into our new North America office on Milk Street, in the heart of downtown Boston, MA. The move will allow us to increase our focus on serving customers right across the region - as well as of course the growing community of Preservica users in the Boston area, including the Massachusetts State Archives, the City of Boston, Emerson College and The Trustees of Reservations, to name just a few.

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.

The post Mobile Gets a Back Button appeared first on John Battelle's Search Blog. I just opened an email on my phone. It was from a fellow I don’t know, inviting me to an event I’d never heard of. Intrigued, I clicked on the fellow’s LinkedIn, which was part of his email signature. That link opened the LinkedIn app on my phone. In the fellow’s LI feed was another link, this one to a tweet he had mentioned in his feed.

At this year's AIIM Conference , I will be speaking on SharePoint planning for user adoption: Don't Make Us Think: Getting SharePoint to be Useful, Usable, and Used. SharePoint is infamous for being unuseful, unusable, and unused. But the fault is not in the technology—usually, it is a failure to adequately plan and execute practical business solutions that causes SharePoint projects to flounder.

The post The Streaming Conundrum: Forgetting What I Heard appeared first on John Battelle's Search Blog. Once upon a time, I’d read the yearly lists of “best albums” from folks like Rick Webb or Marc Ruxin , and immediately head over to the iTunes store for a music-buying binge. Afterwards, I’d listen happily to my new music for days on end, forging new connections between the bands my pals had suggested and my own life experiences.

Geopolitical risk is now at the top of the agenda for CEOs. But tracking it can be difficult. The world is more interconnected than ever, whether in terms of economics and supply chains or technology and communication. Geopolitically, however, it is becoming increasingly fragmented – threatening the operations, financial well-being, and security of globally connected companies.

Does the tail wag the dog in IoT? ravi.kumarv@cgi.com. Thu, 01/14/2016 - 06:16. You often hear the phrase "the tail wagging the dog" and anyone who owns a Labrador will see it in action on a daily basis! In IT we come across cases of this on a regular basis as a new project ends up 'taking over' when it should be supporting the existing processes. In extreme cases this has been known to completely destabilise companies and damage their competitiveness.

The post Business, Meet Mission: With His Final #SOTU, Obama Reframed The Climate Debate appeared first on John Battelle's Search Blog. President Obama’s final State of the Union address is currently trending on Medium, which is pretty much what you might expect given Medium is where the White House decided to release it ( take that, Facebook! — though a piece about building Instagram has about twice as many recommendations, but I digress… ).
