(Speaking for myself here, and not for Agility Robotics). Oregon is a great state, and I'm proud that Agility is a spin-off from Oregon State University. The recent IP-17 ballot initiative is something that all Oregonians should educate themselves about, and although dense, I suggest starting with the official analysis from the state legislature ( https://lnkd.in/e2GYD89h ). For a broader look at these sorts of taxes nationally, see https://lnkd.in/eTZ2xWRU which notes: "States with this harmful tax can and should move away from it by adopting a well-structured low-rate, broad-based corporate income tax or adjusting their existing corporate income tax to account for the lost revenue associated with repealing their gross receipt tax."

Join Satya N. Jayadev of Skyworks, Nishit Sahay of Marvell Technology and Sharon Mandell of Juniper Networks and I on an executive panel at the HMG Strategy 15th Annual Southern California CIO Executive Leadership Summit on September 4th, 2024 in Partnership with Southern California SIM to discuss "The Thirst for Performance and Energy in the Era of Supercomputing AI Chips". Here's the abstract to the session: As AI applications expand into increasingly complex domains, the need for supercomputing AI chips capable of delivering extraordinary performance while minimizing energy consumption has become paramount. This panel explores the accelerated momentum for AI applications and reviews technological advancements driving the development of these chips, including architectural innovations and materials science breakthroughs. By understanding the intricate interplay between performance, energy efficiency, and cost, this panel aims to provide insights into the future trajectory of AI applications, AI chip development, its impact on society and our obligations as technology leaders to advocate for sustainable use of AI technology. #HMGStrategy #SoCalSIM #AI https://lnkd.in/grp2eBrB

In the diverse landscapes of Hawaiʻi, spanning numerous islands, effective communication can pose a unique challenge. The Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation (DOT) has recognized and met this challenge head-on, significantly elevating its communication capabilities with the help of the Microsoft Surface Hub 2S. As we move further into the digital age, cyber resilience becomes even more paramount. The Hawaiʻi DOT's forward-thinking approach is a model to emulate. Are you equipped and ready to ensure cyber resilience for your organization? We can help.

Growing up in a coastal community in Southern California gave me an early appreciation for the importance of protecting the environment, especially the oceans and waterways, and the impact we can all have. Our willingness to take action makes a difference, and it is something I try to prioritize in my life. Our ability to protect these fragile eco-systems sets up a much more sustainable and bright future for generations to come. Just a couple weeks back we observed World Ocean Day, and I participated in one of The Surfrider Foundation's “Beach Cleanup” events a few days later as a small way to give back.  For me, it is a crucial reminder of our shared responsibility to protect the coastlines and oceans.    Additionally, HP released the 2023 Sustainable Impact Report, and I’m excited to share that we’re making substantial progress. We’ve hit the 40% mark in our journey to make our products and packaging more sustainable by 2030. We’re almost halfway to our goal of ensuring what we create is part of a circular economy. By using less packaging in our products, we reduce the pressure on landfills and bodies of water, preventing major issues like the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (https://bit.ly/3VE1pOD). HP is going even further in its sustainability mission by launching our Renewal Solutions Business unit, dedicated to creating offers and programs that enable things like PC refurbishment, and device lifecycle extension capabilities. HP ensures that aging devices meet rigorous quality standards, but more importantly, reduce waste and promote a circular economy. It’s about delivering more value to our customers in their tech investments and enabling our solutions to last longer, so we use less and provide more value to the environment.

Some thoughts on Microsoft results, which have left some industry watchers somewhat despondent. - Microsoft has become one of the bellwethers for the age of #AI, and particularly for determining whether we are in the 'build' phase or the 'use' phase. #copilot had strong uptake across the various software platforms where available, and starting to see more examples of mass deployments. Our Canalys polling shows channel partners are very optimistic about copilots, though over 40% highlighted that they don't see much traction today. - Debates remain over Capex spending in this AI race; NVIDIA's data center results over the past year have shown the incredible demand for its GPUs and Vlad Galabov's team at Omdia have shown that much of that is landing in the big 4 hyperscalers. Capex has to be managed more closely in the current interest rate environment, but Microsoft believes two things: 1/ it can scale the compute portion of that investment with demand (unlike property, land, etc.) and 2/ it can monetize its Capex investment both in AI-capable infrastructure (Azure) and in AI software tools (Copilot). - #Security got around 10 mentions in the earnings call, which is about normal. But it was noteworthy that it was much sooner in the opening remarks. The CrowdStrike incident was not called out explicitly, but rather, a mention of "doubling down on our Secure Future Initiative". Any cyber vendor will tell you that Microsoft is both a partner, but increasingly, the number one competitor as it ramps up offerings such as Copilot for Security and Defender for Cloud. Inevitably, it wants to take more ownership of cybersecurity. Perhaps a coincidence, but it was interesting to highlight Alaska Airlines as a key cybersecurity client when Delta Air Lines is reportedly seeking damages. - European softness was blamed for coming at the lower end of Azure guidance. Could be economic, but could also be attributed to some growing conservatism in Europe towards cloud. The EU AI Act is the latest set of regulations that technology companies will have to navigate through as AI becomes more prevalent in our personal lives.

Conversations about gratitude are often abstract, and this can be difficult for people who prefer more concrete explanations and practical tips. Fortunately, the Greater Good Science Center (GGSC) at UC Berkeley has already done the heavy lifting for us. According to Robert Emmons and Michael McCullough, gratitude consists of two parts: 1. Recognizing that you have something good 2. Recognizing that that good thing didn’t come from you Gratitude isn’t just a mushy, feel-good concept. It can improve your physical health. In one study, cardiac patients that were more grateful had better health outcomes, including reduced cellular inflammation. How can you reap these benefits? You may have heard of some already, like keeping a gratitude journal or taking a moment to count your blessings. An interesting gratitude practice is actually doing something for others. Studies show that receiving gratitude – not just expressing it – can be incredibly powerful. I hope you try some of these techniques. And that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. If you’d like to learn more, you can read this whitepaper from GGSC. #Gratitude #Mindset

What sets Exit Technologies apart from other ITAD companies? Our value and professionalism shine best when clients come to us after experiencing frustration with previous ITAD partners. Recently, a SaaS company worth $80 million approached us, dissatisfied and feeling misled by their former provider. With ExIT, they found the reliable, transparent, and trusted partner they needed for their IT asset disposition. Today, we’re proud to have built a strong partnership with them. https://lnkd.in/epgWrf5Z #IT #tech #upgrades #productivity #TechRecycling #Sustainability #AssetManagement #CorporateResponsibility #ITHardware #TechEquipment #Servers #GPUs #ExitTechnologies #TechRefresh #ITAssetRecovery #EdTech #ITAssetManagement #TechReuse #Sustainability #ITAD #TechUpgrades #Sustainability #DataSecurity #AssetManagement #Fortune500 #TechTips #ComputerLifespan #UpgradePlanning #Productivity #AssetManagement #IT #DataCenter #ITHardware #Laptops #ComputerSolutions #Bankruptcy #Finance #FinancialRecovery #TeamstersUnion #ITAssetManagement #ITInfrastructure #ITSupport #TechAssets #ITRecovery #DataSecurity #ITOptimization #Computers #IT #Business #Network #Hardware #Cloud #Computer #Assets #datacenter #data #backtoschool #bankruptcy
