The first wave of Millennials is rising up the ranks at work and shaping key business decisions. And I belong to this generation.

It’s important to understand the impact we’re having on today’s changing workplace.

In a multigenerational, global study of employees from organizations large and small IBM Institute for Business Value compared the preferences and behavioral patterns of Millennials with those of Gen X and Baby Boomers.

We discovered that Millennials want many of the same things their older colleagues do. While there are some distinctions among the generations, Millennials’ attitudes are not poles apart from other employees’.

samples on node.js and Java are for Watson Developer Cloud Are now in GitHub #watson

Watson Developer Cloud Samples Now in GitHub

The Watson Developer Cloud (WDC) documentation already includes links to download the code for sample applications for each service. We view this as the first step in our partnership with you, our developer community. We are pleased to announce that all WDC sample application code is now available in Github, which the documentation now links to directly. We provide code in languages such as node.js and Java, but that’s because we only have so many fingers. If you’re a fan of another language, please submit sample code in that language and let us know at: [email protected]. Our goal is to put IBM Watson technology at the fingertips of every developer, and we view early adopters like you as a key part of that. As the...Read More

Zhaokai Li and pals at the University of Science and Technology of China in Hefei demonstrated a machine learning on a quantum computer. Their quantum computer can recognize handwritten characters, just as humans can do, in what Li and co are calling the first demonstration of “quantum artificial intelligence”.

Their quantum computing machine consists of a small vat of the organic liquid carbon-13-iodotrifluroethylene, a molecule consisting of two carbon atoms attached to three fluorine atoms and one iodine atom. Crucially, one of the carbon atoms is a carbon-13 isotope.
