Stoic philosopher Epictetus taught that some things are up to us, and some are not. What is up to us, he argued, is our intention, our judgment, and what is of our own doing. And yet, for generations, Western culture has been shaped not by the wisdom of Epictetus, but by the mythologist Joseph Campbell’s concept of the “monomyth”, the Hero with a Thousand Faces. This narrative blueprint…
Abstract This ADLR report explores the transformative impact of Windsurf AI on Rust development workflows, showcasing a threefold productivity increase while maintaining high-quality code output. It delves into challenges like workable context limits and demonstrates solutions through refined processes, including clear requirements, scoped execution, and task-specific chats. Lessons learned…
After over a year on Medium.com, I’ve finally took the time to build my personal blog. There were problems with Medium before, indeed, but the recent flood of fully Ai generated content was the final nail in the coffin. More profoundly, Medium consistently kept all my articles out of their search index that means, even if you were searching for the exact title, you would not find any of my…
This post was first published on Sept. 26 on the blog of the Linux Foundation for AI & Data under the title: Introduction to DeepCausality The DeepCausality project was recently accepted into the Linux Foundation for AI & Data and, as the main author of the project, I want to use the occasion to share a brief introduction. What is computational causality? Although deep learning roots in…
broader governing legislation establishing fundamental boundaries and a particular set of constraints that translate to technical enforceable limits. The call for regulations by OpenAi’s Sam Altman[2] clarifies that the tech industry recognizes the existing vacuum that creates legal uncertainty. At the same time, the tech industry already adamantly opposes[3] the first draft of the European AI…
The prosperity paradox means that innovation destroys wealth while innovation also creates wealth. The late Clayton Christensen, who stipulated the dichotomy in his seminal work of the same name, was quick to point at an essential point of differentiation: Not all innovations are created equal. Instead, while innovation that increases efficiency diminishes prosperity, market-creating innovations…
Innovation drives a lot of change within an organization and even across industries. However, the more change happens, the more resistance will emerge. Unavoidably, one key topic of innovation leadership remains the question of how to cope with resistance to change? Robert Kegan stipulates that all resistance comes from the human mind and goes as far as conceptualizing a mental immune system that…
In the 21st century, the most innovative organizations do not only rely on their internal workforce to innovate, but also on their supplier, partner, and even customer network to co-innovate successfully. Toyota successfully co-innovates together with its suppliers to improve its supply chain. Huawei Technologies co-innovates with large customers, suppliers, government, and regulators. In the…
The rise of artificial intelligence to the new electricity of the 21 century raises valid concerns about machines overtaking human jobs. Human beings’ shortcomings become apparent when looking at increasing tasks specific super-human performance achieved by advanced artificial intelligence. Outspoken Ai critics quickly emphasize human intuition, empathy, and ingenuity as compensating traits. A…
In the digital age, coding is often seen as the most important skill for professionals thriving in the 21 century. However, while coding is undoubtedly important, it is not the only skill leaders need to succeed in the digital world. In fact, according to Harvard Professor Linda Hill, another skill is even more critical for success: Curiosity. In a world where technology is constantly changing and…
“When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.” — Viktor Frankl. When a leader enters the safe zone, stagnation follows next. However, there is a thin line between optimal performance within a safe zone and peak performance outside a safe zone. Optimal performance, if well managed, can be sustained for a long time, whereas peak performance in leadership…
What do a submarine, an engine remanufacturing facility, and a steel factory share in common, and how does it drives innovation and profitability? Let’s start with a submarine. The US Navy serves its mission to protect its home country by operating a fleet of several hundred ships. Due to the congressional mandate of full operational readiness, managing risk at the Navy comes down to enforcing…
People naturally admire accomplishment, and yet only a few accomplish what so many aspire to. Jordan Peterson argues that humans are aiming creatures, so all you need is a worthy goal and work hard toward that goal. Victor Frankl, however, proclaims that purpose drives humans in all life stages, so all you need is a purpose worth living. Setting goals indeed became fashionable, yet many people…
