Orson Scott Card’s novel Enders Game uncannily predicted the general introduction of #GenAI back in 1977. Cool!

@paramountplus PLEASE add a browser-based login option to your fire tv app. Current UX is terrible with any sensible strong password!

I want to see how metaverse UIs can compete with 2D web/mobile apps for pure efficiency at tasks which aren’t oriented around rich content - E.g. booking a flight, paying my electricity bill. Are these simply beyond the scope?

Kong = nice, no-nonsense API management system, clearly designed for engineering-first organisations. Look forward to using professionally! https://t.co/FeaDIiVYVZ

Customer data = neverending source of fun(!) for our clients! I offer some lightweight thoughts on the topic.

@TfL I get it - if you acknowledge the truth that you're massively losing the mask compliance battle, then it'll only encourage the minority who still wear marks to give up. It's still a shame though, and I'm still gonna wear mine!

@tmclaughbos Typo, sorry meant people. #autocorrectfail

[David Lee @davidlee_uk]

@tmclaughbos As a consultant I support this sentiment. But developing kettle takes time and often by the time you need us it's too late.

It's not just a Finance thing - done correctly, Activity Based Costing can help #CDO's count the cost of failures to manage #dataquality - and pass costs back to producers to incentivise good #datamanagement. Great insights from @JamesLTSmith https://t.co/1rlEL7lASh

Having written all my JVM projects for 3+ years now in #Kotlin or #Scala, I challenged myself to go back and code an app in plain old #Java (OK, Java 9). Horrific! Lack of modern coding conveniences crippled my productivity and enjoyment! Genuine q.: does…https://t.co/rdy2zhDC9o

In case anyone didn't know - standards are everything when it comes to architecting effective #payments networks within the UK and beyond. Great work by Matthew Britton, Abdulla Mashaal and others supporting this key report by #ukfinance https://t.co/ou5tgPzXg9

My latest blog argues that the #cloud agenda takes us straight back to the #data agenda - stronger than ever before. Anyone disagree?

Jay Virani's not wrong: An abundance of caution in banking organisations - bred by decades of regulation - makes implementing 'true' #agile practices a nightmare.
It won't stop us trying, however! :) https://t.co/Wg6TsZpEbq

... And the answer was relational algebra. Thanks, Reddit https://t.co/1Eb0r6YlpH

[David Lee @davidlee_uk]

Computer scientists: I'd like to know if anyone has formulated an algebraic system for abstract datasets. E.g given 2 (Row x Column) tables R1(C1, C2) and R1(C2, C3) I can join them to get R1(C1, C2, C3).?? Pointers please!

I've drawn on discussions with seasoned data science pros (esp. Lydon Palmer) to offer thoughts on maximising business value from #datascience - feel free to share your own! #datamanagement #machinelearning #analytics #finance https://t.co/SFyrpU9iTs

[David Lee @davidlee_uk]

Another great conversation. #datascience is ever more important to our clients, but needs clear strategy and optimised ways of working to maximise "bang for buck" https://t.co/VIm7mHAgKX

Not enough of the CDOs we encounter acknowledge disruptive #innovation as part of their role to lead - well observed @sam_markey! #cdo #datamanagment https://t.co/Djf7kA4HQe

[David Lee @davidlee_uk]

Dan Meagher's point is well made: Investment in #datamanagement infrastructure needs to be targeted and use case-driven from the outset. Too much goodwill from business stakeholders gets burned on 'foundational' capabilities that never return tangible ben…https://t.co/7tEyoASxNp
