More than ChatGPT: Real AI Impact & Smarter Design
Hello reader, I got to talk with a whole community of Reliability Engineers at a conference in July. While there, I was a panelist for the conference about new gen systems. I'm writing a few blog posts of what I learned/what piqued my interest (more to come next month). At the conference, my part of the panel discussion focused on AI in the manufacturing industry. Earlier in the month, I had a wonderful conversation with an AI Experience leader. Find the link, below, or check the Quality...

Ways to spark new ideas
We've all been in slumps. It usually comes after those times where we've been doing the daily grind for a long time. We're not looking up much, but getting stuff done. After a while we get tired. Worn down. Uninspired. When I get to those points, I try to take some time (maybe even just a half day) to STOP. I look up and around and what's going on. Where has my deep digging work gotten me? Am I off course? Do I need to adjust? Sometimes that's enough. Other times, I need a change of scenery....

Confluence of risks changes a record-breaking viaduct into a skywalk
This weekly newsletter shares resources for product designers (since 2021), brought to you by Dianna Deeney. To me, this scenic park is a lesson in risk.The massive Kinzua Viaduct was a testament to engineering. The bridge was built in the 1880s/1900s in northern Pennsylvania from steel forged in southeastern PA. "It was once the world's highest and longest rail viaduct."It was destroyed in 2003 by a tornado. The more complete story is that a massive maintenance project had begun by crews...
