Are Today’s Remote Work Challenges New Issues or Magnified Versions of the Same Culture Issues from the Office? My recent LinkedIn Poll results are telling: Poll Results: Of the 75 people that responded, 68% agree remote work challenges are just magnified versions of the issues that existed in the office already. My Thoughts: These results support my working theory that it’s not necessarily WHERE we work that’s the underlying issue, as much as it is HOW we work together.

In the field of generative AI , latency and cost pose significant challenges. The commonly used large language models (LLMs) often process text sequentially, predicting one token at a time in an autoregressive manner. This approach can introduce delays, resulting in less-than-ideal user experiences.

As much as we take note of the dwindling number of mom-and-pop shops across America, modern-day small businesses can and do compete with national and international chains. Cost isn’t the only means of competition either. Larger companies are often able to bargain for less expensive variable costs with their suppliers – and thus, are more readily able to lower prices.

You might have to spend months experimenting and iterating on your prompts, following the best practices for each model, to achieve your desired output. Furthermore, these prompts are specific to a model and task, and performance isn’t guaranteed when they are used with a different FM.

I recently saw a picture of an old Steak ‘n Shake restaurant. It reminded me of when my grandparents used to take me to Steak ‘n Shake every Sunday for lunch. As a kid, I loved their slogan, which was a rhyme: “In Sight, It Must Be Right.” The slogan originated from the restaurant’s founder, Gus Belt, who would bring a barrel of steaks into the restaurant and grind them into burgers in front of the customers.

I’ve done a lot of business with this company over the past five years, and it’s always been a great experience. About twice a year, they send out a survey. I’ve always shared glowing comments and high scores – until recently. First, a little background. The surveys are always short, and because I like the company, I always fill them out. Since I’ve never had anything negative to say or guidance to offer, I assume that’s why I never heard back from them.
