To deliver meaningful output from #data you need to understand the context of data, the business problem your trying to solve and how the business process works. #CausalAI #Causality

Quant methods hot take: If you lack the domain knowledge required to draw the relevant DAG or set meaningful priors, you should neither fit nor attempt to interpret the model. Back away slowly from your stats software and do a comprehensive lit review.

How many articles start with predicting the end of the #mainframe? The #cloud is the de facto standard for many startups, but on-premises will persist forever. When larger organizations examine #cloudcosts and modernization, status quo makes sense for existing apps.

August 2019: Gartner predicts that by 2025, 80% of enterprises will shut down their traditional data centers. In fact, 10% of them already have. Jan 28, 2022: More than half (51%) said they planned to close all their traditional data centers in the next 24 months. 1/2

MyView on the #cloud: As you get off the starting line as a company do you want to focus on innovation or infrastructure? As a mature organization, do you want a massive organization that isn't focused on customers, or do you want to build a technology footprint? #CloudComputing

To #Cloud nay sayers: Taking a half an hour flight will cost you a lot more than driving! When you take an 8 hours flight, things change. How far you want to go? How fast you want to move? How much do you want to invent vs just operate what you have? These are the key questions.

MyView: Zoom remains just a tool and the stock is back to pre-COVID levels. The company is trying to become a "platform," but faces strong headwinds. Competition like Google & Microsoft already have robust platform. #Zoomtopia #Zoom

"78% of #AI/#ML projects stall at some stage before deployment, and 81% of the process of training AI with data is more difficult than they expected" This is why there is a growing interest in #CausalAI - Businesses want to know the "why" behind AI. #CausalTwitter #DataScience

This is an important distinction with #CausalAI. Rather than seeing how data fits within #MachineLearning models, #causality observes the relationship between data points. #ArtificialIntelligence #ML #AI #CausalTwitter

Instead of defining causality by seeing how good data is fitted in our assumptions, we here explore if a neural network can directly learn Causal Discovery from observational data and noisy causal ground truth generated from perturbations. 🧵1/8

MyView: Business leaders might take a hard look at complex #cloud pricing and increasing #CloudCosts; however, every business is a tech business and tech needs to live somewhere.

MyView: Broadcom will be focused on milking as much cash as possible out of the VMware. I don't expect innovations, just small improvements to satisfy VMware admins and others who have made a career off of understanding #VMware. #cluod devops.com/broadcoms-soft

Replying to @CTOAdvisor @Broadcom and @VMwareTanzu
I just don’t think Broadcom will develop products. 5 years from now, everything VMware will feel old.

Standardization electrified America and we need #OpenSource and industry standards to electrify vehicles. History: 1) Vehicles fuel standards: high, mid or low-octane levels + diesel. 2) Edison (DC) fought Nikola Tesla (AC) over electric currents, but we standardized on AC.

MyView: Terms like the #Metaverse and #Web3 are thrown around without context and are often grouped together. There is an important difference: *Web 3.0 - all about who will govern and own content *Metaverse - how businesses and individuals will interact with technology

The world of #cloud computing is bigger than ##AWS, #Azure and #GCP. As hyperscalers rxpand their breath of offerings, the platforms become more difficult to use. Certified developers also come at a steep price. #CloudComputing

A2. During a recent conversation with a #CDO the concept of #Hadoop being the new mainframe came up. Nearly every large organization adopted Hadoop, and transitioning away is painful and expensive. #CIOChat #BigData

#CIOChat Q2. Big Data brought with it new concepts, Hadoop, non-SQL databases, and a host of animal named products, have these been replaced by cloud delivered databases?

The data on crypto and alt payments surprised me- 36% of respondents WANT to use alt payments and 16% want to use crypto to pay for #cloud Why? -#CloudComputing is global, credit cards aren't -Crypto is just a currency for some -Alt payments are normalized Thanks

Many use credit cards to purchase enterprise cloud services. Many now even accept PayPal. Some now even accept crypto. I channel the work of @the_spinmd in this latest post! zd.net/3y3Zxmq#ftag=C
