A wise man once told me “work with people who are animals”. Sales animals, engineering animals, operations animals.
Please do NOT come work for any company I have founded or am investing in if this LMT pro-mediocracy ad appeals to you. We are deterring our adversaries to save millions of lives, and reshoring to build the next American century. Not whatever this is.
When I work with clients in the private sector, the best and brightest squeeze a multiple of value out of their expenditure on technology. When I work with the public sector, it's more like 20p of value for each £1 spent. Mostly because of their own internal rules, norms, working…
Sorry this is incorrect. You can measure public sector productivity and it's a disaster. Somehow during the nearly 30 years of technology driven improvements in productivity, the public sector didn't improve at all.
These companies literally don't even know they have this history inside them. They don't know how they got here. Most executives exist in a tiny shaft of light in an unlit corridor. There is nothing behind them but darkness and nothing in front of them other than the next…
If I were the CEO of Lockheed Martin, Xerox, HP, Intel, GE, Delta, AA, United, IBM, etc...the list goes on of American corporations that have lost their aura; to hire specialized archival historians, dig into their archives and release them as fine art publications. Reclaim your…
The AMFV (A Mind Forever Voyaging) prompt. Those who know, know.
77th, Nudge Unit, VLOs and other UK narrative control centres taking L after L in the last couple of weeks. Overwork? Flu season? Decision to just let it play to release latent sentiment early rather than later?
Somehow still looks like the future eh @usgraphics?
computer interface in the 1983 movie, war games.
There will not be the time nor resources to fix all of the vulnerabilities uncovered in the near future as more AI bug finders get to work. What should defenders do now? The irony to me is that they should do what they should have already been doing: assuming those bugs existed.
My submission? Argentina would have developed a sudden pro-democracy movement/revolution. There were major demonstrations just days before the invasion. Mass protests immediately after Galtieri went.
On 29 April 1982 the Service Chiefs considered military options for repossession of the Falkland Islands. 14 options were presented "in ascending order of severity". 3 of those options remain classified. What options to win the war could have been considered? Thread/
Much the same in companies. Founder lead "spark" -> Empire phase "going global" -> Rentier "decline/decay".
Europeans can comfort themselves in knowing that this is a typical evolution of history: Through the ages, great empires would rise, gain riches and prestige, rule like kings for a while, then quickly squander it all once the original vigor and talent that built it all died/left.
It's unfortunate, but there still appears to be a belief that great power competition can somehow be successfully navigated dedicating a smaller portion of GDP to defence than was committed when the enemy were non-state actors & the odd, minor, Middle Eastern dictatorship...
I need to turn this into an Infocom interactive fiction.
Mentally here... USGC-ATC-01 -- December 1986. IBM corporate cafeteria Building-2A, sun is shining through the long vertical blinds, it's 7:35am. Hardly anyone around. Skin perseveres the initial discomfort of cold aluminum table edge against the arm, stings a little.…

Having to frequently patch is a sign of a poor security architecture.
As it ever was.
People shouldn’t be scared by this CrowdStrike report. I don’t even know why they added the “AI-enabled ransomware” part -probably a PR idea that nobody stopped The real issue is wrong risk perception. CISOs worry about what sounds new instead of what actually causes incidents.…
