Amazon's Squiggly Paths: Jassy on Bold Bets and Pivots
Andy Jassy outlines Amazon's non-linear success formula: invent inflections like robotics and satellites, run parallel delivery experiments, bet aggressively on AI via AWS and custom chips, and restart architectures when needed for scale.
Batch Size Math: Why LLM Inference Costs Plummet at Scale
Roofline analysis shows batching 2000+ tokens amortizes weight memory fetches, slashing per-token cost 1000x; fast modes use tiny batches for low latency at 6x price.
ChatGPT Writing Workflow: Plan-Draft-Revise-Package
Speed up workplace writing by feeding ChatGPT your goal, audience, raw notes, and constraints, then iterate through Plan → Draft → Revise → Package to produce clear, audience-adapted drafts you refine.
Engineer EU AI Act Controls for High-Risk Systems Now
High-risk AI systems in employment, credit, or healthcare require engineering teams to build risk management, logging pipelines, human oversight, and monitoring by Aug 2026—or face €15M fines or 3% turnover.
Engineering Strategy: Reproducible Decisions via Frameworks
Build engineering strategy through explore-diagnose-refine cycles, using systems models and Wardley Maps for validation, as shown in Uber migrations, Stripe API deprecations, and LLM adoptions.
