The Brain is Neither a Neural Network Nor a Computer: Book Review of The Biological Mind
Underlying much of artificial intelligence research is the idea that the essence of an individual resides in the brain. This is contrary to neuroscience which has discovered that a brain cannot work independently from the body and its environment. Understanding this enables us see what is reasonable to expect from artificial intelligence, as well as technology designed to improve human life.

Instrumenting the Network for Successful AIOps
AIOps platforms empower IT teams to quickly find the root issues that originate in the network and disrupt running applications. AI/ML algorithms need access to high quality network data to determine what went wrong and where. Network visibility starts from TAPs around network equipment, and teams can add application instrumentation and logs as data sources for complete insights.

Beyond the Database, and beyond the Stream Processor: What's the Next Step for Data Management?
Databases have been around forever with the same shape: you make a request to your data and then you receive an answer. Now, stream processors came along with a different approach: data isn’t locked up, it is in motion. Understand how stream processors and databases relate and why there is an emerging new category of databases that focus on data that stays in place as well as data that moves.
