I’m looking forward to the 10am Microsoft announcement today as Sam Altman from OpenAI is in Redmond. #AI is limited by the data it can access and Microsoft is uniquely positioned to take advantage of this. We’ll see how much of my list comes to pass. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/tgatte_openai-ai-microsoft-activity-7024543382970523648-cyqg

Do you know about the Zeigarnik effect and how incomplete tasks affect memory? Interesting read.

The effect also explains why it’s so hard to write a #status report to your #manager at the end of the week as completed tasks are purged from memory. https://hbr.org/2020/10/why-your-brain-dwells-on-unfinished-tasks

Why Your Brain Dwells on Unfinished Tasks

If you’ve ever wondered why unfinished tasks seem so intrusive, it’s because of a phenomena called the Zeigarnik effect. Failing to complete a task creates underlying cognitive tension, which is what makes you keep coming back to it. That’s why we find it easier to recall something that’s ongoing or incomplete than something that is done and over with. Rather than letting it be intrusive, we can actually use it to our benefit and get things done. There are four ways to make this work for you: 1) Reduce your tendency to procrastinate; 2) Get people to pay more attention to what you’re saying; 3) Memorize more information; 4) Get better with remembering tough names.

If you’ve used #ChatGPT, you’ll get authentic sounding but completely wrong answers on occasion. When the #AI model is hallucinating like this, there is a bit of prompt engineering you can do to minimize this.

The good news is that the virus that blindsided me the other day isn’t Covid. That said, I slept a solid 3 days, ran prodigious fever, felt like I had been beat with sticks. Right when you start to feel better, the wheezing and coughing start. My Darth Vader impression is pretty good at the moment. Stay well folks, this cold is not fun.

#PowerBI folks, I've commented about this all over so I figured it was worthy of a post. Chris Webb linked to this excellent post from Marco Russo on DAX. I often get asked why is DAX so hard or why does it do things in the way it does. To fully understand why it does what it does, you have to understand how we got here. It's a short but excellent read.

Why do all the BI consultants hate DAX?

Answer (1 of 5): I know many people who love DAX, but I think to know some of the reasons why many others don’t like it. DAX has a simple syntax inherited from Excel. However, DAX is a language to define the business logic in a semantic model where you can have multiple tables and relationships....
