Introduction: What Business Analytics DoesFor many organizations, business analytics is their go-to tool to help answer questions like “What’s happening?”, “Why is it happening?”, “What’s likely to happen next?” and “What should we do about it?” Business analytics work is the practice of using data, statistical methods, analysis and technology to gain insights that inform business decisions and improve business performance.Unlike traditional methods, business analytics enables organizations to solve business problems through descriptive analytics, diagnostic analytics, predictive analytics and prescriptive analytics. The core components of this work include data analysis, statistical methods, data visualization and machine learning algorithms — transforming…
But there is reason for optimism in the turmoil. Garry Tan, the CEO of YCombinator, recently said, “Our fear of the future is directly proportional to how small our ambitions are.” I don’t want to minimize the trauma of getting laid off, but the thing that is causing people to be laid off is also the thing that will cause an explosion of new ideas. And those new ideas will lead to new jobs. For a while now, I’ve been keeping a list of silly, goofy, and maybe brilliant ideas for apps and websites. Some are simple, and some are…
When it comes to our children’s digital lives, prohibition rarely works. It’s our responsibility to help them build a healthy relationship with tech. 17 Feb 2026 • , 4 min. read The lives our children lead today are very different to our own, 20, 30 or even 40-plus years ago. And the main reason for that difference is technology. For good and bad, the advent of smartphones and social media has fundamentally changed the way our kids interact with each other and the world around them. There’s no putting the genie back in the bottle. So the question for parents…
Sustainable construction in 2026 in the US is all about reducing the carbon footprint of buildings, which account for 40% of total US energy consumption. That’s right, according to the US Department of Energy , buildings are a major source of energy use and carbon emissions. And it gets even worse when you consider the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) estimate that the building sector contributes nearly 40% of global energy-related CO2 emissions. Crews are talking about carbon pretty much as much as they used to talk about cost , and designers now think about how a building will do years…
Published on: February 16, 2026A while back, my app crashed mid-workout at the gym. I uploaded the crash report, gave my AI agent some context, and went back to my set. By the time I finished, there was a pull request waiting for me. I reviewed it, merged it, and had a fixed TestFlight build on my device shortly after — without ever opening Xcode.That kind of turnaround is only possible because of the delivery pipeline I’ve built around agentic engineering. And that’s what this post is about. Know that this post doesn’t introduce anything revolutionary in terms of how…
Certainly, most in the construction industry have heard about BIM (building information modeling) and its 3D, 4D, 5D, and 6D components. All of this is set to evolve with the rise of AI (artificial intelligence), as Fortune Business Insights suggests the global AI in construction market will grow from $4.86 billion in 2025 to $6.02 billion in 2026, and to $35.53 billion by 2034, which is a 24.8% growth rate. Keep in mind, as the technology continues to evolve, the heart of BIM is in the processes surrounding it and in the storytelling that comes with the model. This is…
Apple’s low-cost MacBook has been a long time coming, but it now seems clear that we can expect it to be launched in the first week of March. Apple has a special event taking place on March 4, but a subsequent report says that this will not include a keynote presentation. Instead, it says we can expect a series of press releases along the lines of the ones we saw back in 2024 … The upcoming low-cost MacBook The cheapest brand new MacBook you can currently buy direct from Apple is the 13-inch MacBook Air, starting at $999. We’re expecting…
Researchers at BESSY II have, for the first time, experimentally confirmed that a material can exhibit truly one-dimensional electronic properties. The team studied short chains of phosphorus atoms that naturally arrange themselves at specific angles on a silver surface. By applying advanced measurement and analysis techniques, they separated the signals coming from chains aligned in different directions. This careful work showed that each individual chain behaves as a genuine one-dimensional electronic system. The findings also point to a dramatic shift in behavior depending on how closely the chains are spaced. When the chains are farther apart, the material acts as…
LLM -powered systems continue to move steadily into production, but this process is presenting teams with challenges that traditional software practices don’t commonly encounter. Models and agents are non-deterministic systems, which makes it difficult to test changes, reason about failures, and confidently ship updates. This has created the need for new evaluation tooling designed specifically around the properties of LLMs. Comet is a platform with Roots and MLOps, to the rapidly evolving world of agent-based systems by treating prompts, tools, and workflows as optimizable components that can be evaluated and improved over time. Gideon Mendels is the co -founder and…
Other Smart Rings We’ve TestedWe have tested several other entrants in this category, some good, some bad, and some in between. Here is the lowdown on some of your smart ring alternatives.Photograph: Simon HillLeep Ring 1 for $200: A new British smart ring that is affordable, subscription-free, and offers simplified, accessible stats on your activity, sleep, and stress? Sign me up. The Leep Ring 1 is slim and stylish, with a subtle diagonal indent to help you line up the knobbly internal sensors. It comes with a handy charging case that’s supposedly capable of providing an extra 60 days of…
