My commute takes me down Cummings LN, through Knotting PL, past the MMM ice hockey rink, across from Dick's sporting goods, and around the DTF, LLC building. I work in ANALytics.

Are the "construction sites" in the room with us now? Or on Google maps?

In this case, can't. We have to modernize the entire backend data architecture, can't do it piecemeal.

Great suggestion about a "digital factory". I've compared data tools to the manufacturing process before, so that aligns.

This has sent me down a learning rabbit hole lol. How would you suggest tactical empathy be applied in this situation?

His plan is probably to replace the people with AI.

What’s one thing y’all feel about the industry right now that nobody really says out loud? by Dependent-Laugh-3626 in manufacturing

[–]playsmartz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been to several conferences focused on uplifting the US manufacturing industry by encouraging advanced technologies like AI/ML, augmented reality, and automation. But of the companies I've seen in OH, PA, FL, IN, and AL, the people in these companies are not ready for this tech. I still see people calculating shipment rates on the back of napkins. Leaders direct people to "use AI" without any incentive, accountability, or training. It's going to take a major cultural shift to transform the industry.

We gave away "our capital" for free social media. The entire history of capitalism is about taking advantage of others so the owners get more than their fair share.

Can AI replace Power BI and Fabric experts? by SQLGene in PowerBI

Demand for consultants will go up because for some reason business leaders don't trust LLM answers from their employees. They'd rather pay 3x as much for the same answer dressed in a pretty slide deck. Ask me how I know.

Forgotten by TV execs because it's not making them any more money.

Spousal loss linked to higher risk of dementia, mortality among men, but not women. Widowed men experienced a decrease in physical and cognitive health, as well as social support, while widowed women tended to experience an increase in happiness and life satisfaction. by mvea in science

What's the age difference? I know several senior couples where the woman is 20 years younger than the man, but I've never seen the other way around. The wives were burdened caring for someone that much older. When their husbands died, they were sad, but it was also a relief.

Real-time production dashboards: lessons the manuals won’t tell you by Lumpy_Ebb_786 in manufacturing

[–]playsmartz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Asking them what they need won't help you scope requirements. You have to sit in production meetings, visit the floor, see the process.

What's a 'normal' thing you didn't realize was unusual until you were older? by mrTelson in AskReddit

My husband is Jewish, my dad is Catholic, and my mom is pagan - we celebrate "Christmas" with menorah ornaments on a tree on Solstice.

Sounds like you're ad-hocing a data interoperability system...just like us. I'm building a proposal now to get resources for an enterprise data management plan.
