So-called cord-cutting – people who give up their cable TV subscriptions in favor of streaming content over the web – is growing in popularity. Mobile TV viewing on tablets is increasingly common. All of which makes me wonder whether we’re witnessing the beginning of the end of live TV … ? I should perhaps declare a personal bias here: I haven’t owned a television for years. Divvying up the property during a divorce, my ex-wife kept the TV set and buying a new one got added somewhere down towards the bottom of my to-do list....

That effort has so far failed, says Luis Ceze, who is co-founder and CEO of startup OctoML, which develops tools to automate machine learning. “It’s still pretty early to turn ML into a common practice,” Ceze told ZDNet in an interview via Zoom. “That’s why I’m a critic of MLOps: we’re giving a name for something that’s not very well defined, and there’s something that’s very well defined, called DevOps, that’s a very well defined process of taking software to production, and I think that we should be using that....
