Jack Tame: A new high in reality TV casting

September 15, 2023 22:06 - 4 minutes - 3.87 MB

Maybe I’m just too close to it, but my sense is that a big slab of the New Zealand public is thoroughly sick of the election campaign already.  People are done. They’re fed up. They’re spent. And for the days of the week in between significant sporting fixtures, they’re dead keen for a different kind of contest that doesn’t seem so negative and bleak.   And this morning, I’ve got the answer. Before I share it though, you’ve got to understand, I’m not usually one to gush about reality TV. I...

Dougal Sutherland: What do we mean when we say “wellbeing”?

September 09, 2023 01:22 - 6 minutes - 5.91 MB

It’s important to know what you mean so you’re clear on what you’re aiming for.  Wellbeing could be defined in at least one of 3 ways:  Feeling good, happy, satisfied with life (sometimes called hedonic wellbeing)  Having meaning & purpose in life, leading a fulfilling life, accepting who you are (eudaimonic wellbeing)  Leading a life full of rich & varied experiences – doesn’t mean you will necessarily feel positive in the moment but leads to longer term broader view of life incorporati...

Paul Stenhouse: Microsoft's AI, Google's Mountain View visiting centre, and heated BMW seats

September 09, 2023 00:43 - 6 minutes - 5.73 MB

Microsoft wants you to use its AI so badly, it'll cover you if you get sued  Copyright, and infringing it, is one of the biggest concerns many corporates have about diving into the AI game. There are so many open questions that they're not prepared just yet to take the risk.

September 01, 2023 23:58 - 5 minutes - 5.43 MB

Buds and flowering trees – it sometimes feels like Spring, but don’t be fooled for another 4 weeks mistakes can be made!  Spring —by the way— starts 23rd of September at eleven minutes to seven in the evening. ;-)  Yet slowly —very slowly— the soil starts to warm up a bit and that is a condition that requires us to plant our new crops and ornamentals.  First of all, the soils are still quite moist and that is a positive reason to plant anything that lives long: shrubs, trees, fruit-bearin...

Microsoft's Office bundle in the EU will look different to the rest of the world  It'll be missing Teams thanks to an anti-competitive complaint by competitor Slack, made to the European Commission.  Microsoft is taking the proactive step of offering a bundle —that's cheaper than the current one— that doesn't include Teams. It'll be €2 less per month or €24 per year, which still makes it a more expensive option to get Office and Slack together.  They'll also offer Teams as a standalone pr...
