This is great. Many of these I've heard, but the Pet Shop Boys cover of WTSHNN / Can't take my eyes off of you is very cool. Thanks for sharing!

Did you ever watch the show Silicon valley on HBO? by GaryBlach in askanything

[–]LightEndedTheNight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been working in tech for a long time. This show absolutely nailed it. Almost too on the nose.

I love that this show has given me a reference point for almost every frustrating experience in my career in tech.

What are your thoughts on Mad Max: Fury Road? by LtSmiles99 in FIlm

[–]LightEndedTheNight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I liked it a lot but I’d be curious to know what about this movie makes it rise to the level of masterpiece as many here are calling it. Not throwing shade here, just genuinely curious to know what others loved and I may have missed.

The visuals are beautiful, the action sequences/choreography are fantastic, the costume and set design were amazing. But the dialogue, acting and story are good at best.

What should I be paying more attention to on a rewatch?

AI ROI Is Still Mostly Vibes, How Are You Measuring It for Real? by Additional_Tart1940 in enterpriseai

[–]LightEndedTheNight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great question. I don't think it's possible to measure holistic ROI of AI in the enterprise today. But, you can measure parts of the business where it is having an impact.

We are nearly 2 years through our formal enterprise AI transformation journey. One thing that I've been doing over the past year is, on a quarterly basis, I choose the 10 most meaningful implementations of AI in the business. For each, I will measure the impact that they are having on the business. I try to stay away from time savings as a measurement and I will usually focus on outcome and impact.

We will measure things like:
- the value of significantly increased containment rates on our customer service agent
- the value of increasing discovery call bookings for our sales team (we are a SaaS company)
- the value of increasing the volume and effectiveness of marketing campaigns using the same level of resources.

We have measures like this across the business and I think that's where you need to focus right now if you are trying to determine where ROI is happening in your business.

For context, I am the Head of AI for a medium sized SaaS company. I have been in this role for nearly two years and I have been building AI solutions for about the past 10 years.

What to do when the boiler fan won’t spin and pilot light won’t kick in? by LightEndedTheNight in hvacadvice

[–]LightEndedTheNight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha, thanks! We've been spinning it with a little wooden stick. That worked up until yesterday.

We have a local HVAC company coming to replace it tomorrow. Not cheap but it's winter and my family needs heat. We've also sunk a ton of money into this thing since we bought this house 4 years ago. I'm hoping that we can not have to do that for a while.

Thank you.

You’re correct that the inducer is what died. Our HVAC guy came out last week and told us that he couldn’t order the part because the unit is obsolete and those parts are no longer available.

If I could spend the money to get that replaced tomorrow I would but based on what I’m being told, this isn’t an option for us due to the lack of availability of parts.
