� � � � � � You Might Like � � � � � � � � � The Possibly Surprising Ways Bosses and Workers Are Using Generative A.I. at Work - Inc.com    The generative A.I. revolution seemingly materialized out of thin air: Last November, Microsoft invested $10 billion in OpenAI, developer of the writing assistant ChatGPT--the first snowflake in an avalanche of hype that rumbled through the year and took generative A.I. mainstream.  There have been hiccups, hallucinations, and criticism of generative A.I.'s readiness to live up to its billing--not to mention the climate of doomerism that regularly comes up regarding A.I.'s dystopian ability to one day steal people's jobs.  But the technological promise of generative A.I. hasn't flamed out. The tech is already taking root in one massive social and economic arena: the workplace. Bosses and workers alike are both consulting generative A.I. tools to get work done, whether it's automating drudge work like drafting emails, or conducting higher-level research.  Continued here � � � � � � You Might Like � � � � � � � � � This Entrepreneur Grew His Company Nearly 300 Percent in 3 Years by Sending Cold Emails - Inc.com    Traditional networking strategies might entail glad handing at trade shows or spending on a bloated advertising budget. But Ly, the 42-year-old CEO of the accounting service Reconciled, prefers to rely on cold email blasts to prospective clients to expand his business.  The strategy has proved resoundingly effective: After launching in 2016, the Burlington, Vermont-based Reconciled landed at No. 1,983 on the 2023 Inc. 5000 list, with a three-year growth rate of 282 percent. The company also hit this list of America's fastest-growing private companies in 2022, landing at No. 1,772. Reconciled is still a lean operation, with 50 team members across the U.S. and South America, even as its client roster has swelled from 150 to 450 in the past three years.  To what does Ly attribute his company's success?

Munger,Berkshire Hathaway'svice chairmanwho died Tuesdayjust a month shy of his 100th birthday,stressed that he and Buffett almost never used this common Wall Street practice, because they always put their shareholders first. "Berkshire could easily be worth twice what it is now. And the extra risk you would've taken would've been practically nothing. All we had to do is just use a little more leverage that was easily available," Munger said in CNBC's special "Charlie Munger: A Life of Wit and Wisdom," which aired Thursday.

Not really. No, it's the filters in the engines' intakes. The filters keep dirt and debris from fouling and wrecking an M-1's delicate—but powerful—engine. They require constant cleaning. If an Abrams' four-person crew neglects to clean its tank's filters every 12 hours or so, it might so badly damage the engine that the battalion has no choice but to remove the engine, and potentially the transmission, and ship it away for a lengthy overhaul.
