☆ Satya Nadella's first decade as Microsoft CEO was defined by cloud. What's next?

Jason Redmond | AFP | Getty ImagesWhen Satya Nadella replaced Steve Ballmer as Microsoft CEO in February 2014, the software company was mired in mediocrity. Many tech industry analysts and investors would say that, thanks largely to Nadella, Microsoft is now set up to be a powerhouse for the foreseeable future. In a 2020 interview, Pat Gelsinger, then CEO of VMware, said offering his company's software on Microsoft's Azure cloud was akin to a "Middle East peace treaty." Nadella is perhaps best known in the tech industry for pushing Microsoft deeper into cloud computing. While some in the younger generations have Microsoft software at work, it's not necessarily what they grew up using and may not be what they prefer.

☆ Boeing's latest 737 Max failure narrowly avoided tragedy — but it won't avoid scrutiny
▼ + stars: | 2024-01-07 | by ( Leslie Josephs | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +7 min

The 737 Max 9 flown by Alaska Airlines on Friday was delivered less than three months ago. United Airlines and Alaska Airlines, the largest operators of the 737 Max 9, on Saturday said they suspended flights with those planes, forcing the carriers to cancel more than 400 flights. Boeing's leadership has spent roughly five years regrouping after the 2018 and 2019 fatal crashes of its smaller and more popular Boeing 737 Max 8, which prompted a worldwide grounding of both the Max 8 and Max 9, the two types flying commercially. According to Jefferies, the 737 Max 9 represents just 2% of Boeing's backlog of more than 4,500 Max planes. Richard Aboulafia, managing director at aviation consulting firm Aerodynamic Advisory, said the problem on the Alaska Airlines plane appears to be a manufacturing defect, not an inherent design flaw.

Amazon (AMZN) said on Wednesday that it's offering Prime members a discount on its new health-care service — another perk that should help bring more people into the online retailer's ecosystem. It provides members unlimited 24/7 access to virtual care as well as in-person, and remote primary care services. Prime members can add up to five people from their family to the One Medical plan for an additional $6 a month. Amazon offering a discounted subscription to One Medical's services is part of the company's efforts to expand the broader Prime flywheel by leveraging its 167 million Prime members. The goal of the Amazon Prime membership is to provide people with "one simple membership, something that provides shopping, savings, streaming and now positive health outcomes, said Jamil Ghani, SVP of Amazon Prime in a CNBC interview Wednesday.

In March, Schultz defended himself and the company against allegations of "union busting" at a U.S. Senate committee hearing. Schultz, 70, stepped down as CEO in March after he returned to the helm for the third time. He oversaw a major revamp in technology at Starbucks' stores during his latest stint, doubling down on equipment and employee training to improve service.

Some AI models that compete against Stack Overflow were partly trained on the company's data. Online communities, like Stack Overflow and Wikipedia, thrived as hubs for experts and curious browsers to come together and share information freely. In 2021, Prosus, a major backer of Chinese tech giant Tencent, bought Stack Overflow for $1.8 billion. However, Nat Friedman, the CEO of Github through 2021, expects tech companies to pay for training data in the future. Stack Overflow is also working on new ways to measure the impact of a human's answer on the platform.

REUTERS/Jason Redmond/File PhotoCHARLESTON, South Carolina, May 31 (Reuters) - The certification of the Boeing 737 MAX 7 is taking a "considerable amount of time" due to new documentation requirements, but the company still believes it can be certified by the end of the year, a Boeing Co (BA.N) official said on Wednesday. Both the MAX 7 and MAX 10 are seen as critical for Boeing to compete against Airbus SE (AIR.PA) for orders at the top and bottom of the narrowbody markets. The planemaker is also "close" to receiving FAA approval to begin certification flights of its new 737 MAX 10, Fleming told reporters. Certification of that aircraft is still projected to occur in 2024, but will depend on when Boeing is approved to begin those flights, he said.

Developers are linking arms with OpenAI to access the large language models powering their apps. In doing so, OpenAI has its tentacles in hundreds of Silicon Valley startups. OpenAI's artificial intelligence technology is now baked into hundreds of apps, making it one of the key levers that help companies and their developers be more productive. The latest company utilizing the company's large language models is Superhuman, an email app with a cultish following.

REUTERS/Jason Redmond/File PhotoPARIS/WASHINGTON, April 19 (Reuters) - Planemakers have signalled a shift in production strategy to make factories more resilient to recent supply disruptions by adding "surge capacity," even where that means extra cost. "We live in a supply constrained environment ... Our focus is on both capacity and quality. "To support the supply chain, we've increased on-site presence, we've ramped up internal fabrication for surge capacity and we've increased inventory of select parts for risk protection." DEFENDING AVERAGE OUTPUTPlanemakers only rarely speak of "surge capacity" in the aerospace production system, which is seen as more capital-intensive and less nimble than in consumer-facing industries. Although auto firms rely heavily on overtime to meet peak demand, analysts say there are examples of automakers installing surge capacity for a successful product.

☆ Bernie Sanders questions Howard Schultz on Starbucks' labor practices

New York CNN —Senator Bernie Sanders, who has roundly criticized former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz over the company’s blatant attempts to shut down its own workers’ unionization efforts, will finally get to question Schultz during a Senate hearing Wednesday. It’s a relatively small number compared to the roughly 9,300 company-operated Starbucks stores in the United States. Howard Schultz at the Starbucks annual shareholder meeting in Seattle, Washington on March 22, 2017. “Starbucks respects the right of all partners to make their own decisions about union representation,” Schultz said. In prepared remarks for the hearing, Schultz argued that “Starbucks has engaged in good faith bargaining,” saying that delays are coming from the union.

Powering AI Dungeon's text-generation software was the GPT language technology offered by the Microsoft -backed AI research lab OpenAI. The high cost of training and "inference" — actually running — large language models is a structural cost that differs from previous computing booms. Many entrepreneurs see risks in relying on potentially subsidized AI models that they don't control and merely pay for on a per-use basis. Companies making the foundation models, semiconductor makers, and startups all see business opportunities in reducing the price of running AI software.
