Enterprise systems management software is hard. “OpenTracing doesn’t solve the interoperability problem, so what does the “open standard” attempting to solve? Well, for one thing, is that it allows those making gateways, proxies, and frameworks the ability to write instrumentation. That should, in theory, make it easier to get traces connected, but once again the requirement to change implementation details for each tool is a problem.” Original source: Misunderstanding “Open Tracing” for the Enterprise

‘It turns out that our AI analysts often use the phrase “AI” to mean “top techniques from the field of Artificial Intelligence” which today means “deep neural networks” (DNNs, shorthanded to “deep learning” by some), natural language processing, image recognition, etc (the latter probably use DNNs anyway).’ Original source: “Do They Have AI?” or That Rant on AI in Security

‘It is also SELECTIVE … because, apparently, we have always been overwhelmed by sensory data and can’t begin to notice it all. Even before Snap and the iPhone X, our brains said: “Too much! Give me the bullets!”… For advertising, the implications are obvious. To rise from our sensory swamp, an ad must be EMOTIONALLY INTENSE. We assume the binary default is positive, but there is evidence that negative works as well.

“[H]aving a decent integration platform in its arsenal enables Salesforce to tell better stories about the seamlessness of its own application portfolio, even as this continues to expand through acquisition (which, note, was where Oracle was with its Fusion Middleware portfolio and strategy when it bought BEA). It also potentially helps Salesforce further develop its Einstein proposition, by making it easier to get access to corporate data from more systems in more locations….
