The 20/20 on Next Year’s Big Things

[Sigh] couldn’t resist the introvert-dad’s joke in title. On the verge of the last Q of ’19 so you have a little spare time to prep; this, about the really really Big Things that will capture the news next year: Genetic algorithms (like here), maybe outright towards solving hard problems that ML-training offers no convergence … Continue reading “The 20/20 on Next Year’s Big Things”

Data-lake driven AI Is A Mirage, still, after decades

Funny, isn’t it? Not only do we see lots of articles about OT popping up on our socials’ timelines, but also item for the management of data. Quite similar. ‘OT’ being among other things debunked for not being but a sub-branch of T (as is ‘traditional’ ‘IT’) – indeed, which was first ..? Which was … Continue reading “Data-lake driven AI Is A Mirage, still, after decades”

Legalistic GDPR – a liability

Once again, about how the legal approach to GDPR ‘compliance’ did not work quite as intended. How long until this is rightfully concluded to be the wrong way per se for the subject ..? For any subject ..? Yes, some branch of the Big 3½ (them again) had used a wrong grounds for processing, and … Continue reading “Legalistic GDPR – a liability”

Correcting the pyramids

By and large, the world is slowing down a bit [sic] already again towards the Summer lull. Which gives us plenty of time to get rid of old habits. And of misconceptions. The famous pyramids are one (huh) of them, definitely. Compare the standard picture you’ve all become accustomed to, to ‘For instance, he wrote … Continue reading “Correcting the pyramids”

ePriv heating up

Just for the record; you noticed how things are heating up regarding the ePrivacy Directive forthcoming ..? No wonder. Where GDPR was just a consolidation of existing rules and regulations and shouldn’t have had too much impact anywhere apart from the SOx-style totalitarian bureaucratic paperwork requirements (or you had a backlog on perfectly reasonable information … Continue reading “ePriv heating up”

Een rondje met de cyberwijk-agent

Bij de verjaardag van een kennis, actief en succesvol wijkagent, kwam het volgende naar boven. Ter discussie … De wijkagent surveilleert én is er voor vragen uit de buurt. Met een licht surveille-regime; de agent is maar in z’n eentje in een best grote wijk en wandelt wat. Waar z/hij in de buurt is, wordt … Continue reading “Een rondje met de cyberwijk-agent”

Toen Y2k een ding was – ‘klinkt-als’ Avg nu, voor consultants ..? You wish.

Tsja, sommigen zijn héél druk met Avg- of GDPR-implementaties (zoals hier). Al die DPIAs (huh, meervoud ..?), die zelden überhaupt nodig zijn (zie onderaan pagina 4 van deze screenprint)… En alles voor de papieren tijger. Jawel. En ‘we’ pakken het helemaal verkeerd aan. Al lijkt het hele circus op een (verlaat!) Y2k- oftewel Millennium-gebeuren, het … Continue reading “Toen Y2k een ding was – ‘klinkt-als’ Avg nu, voor consultants ..? You wish.”

Trust ⊻ Verify

You get that. Since Verify → ¬Trust. When you verify, you engender the loss of trust. And since Trust is a two-way street (either both sides trust each other, or one will loose initial trust and both will end up in distrust), verification leads to distrust all around – linked to individualism and experience [we’re … Continue readingTrust ⊻ Verify”

Some nuggets for social

Alas,dair MacIntyre may have scared off some readers in the first few chapters of his After Virtue, with reason to not offend the simpletons, the dunces though addressed, as ‘they’. When after a while, the langauge becomes more simple, but the content no less valid. As in: It is of course that if social science … Continue readingSome nuggets for social”
