#Data Modernization

[hanasatoblogs]

Data Modernization is not just a luxury but a necessity in today's data-driven business landscape. Organizations can unlock many benefits by adopting modern technologies and practices. Improved data processing efficiency, enhanced scalability, and cost savings are just the tip of the iceberg. Organizations are strongly compelled to adhere to evolving regulations, gain invaluable insights for informed decision-making, and cultivate operational agility and flexibility. Moreover, cloud-based platforms enable seamless integration, collaboration, and innovation.

What role should the IT department play in an organization's "data modernization" initiatives?

When it comes to data governance what role should the IT Dept. play?

Is Data Governance on a collision course with Corporate Governance? I submit it may be. The rationale is that the following perceptions (fair or unfair, true or false) will take root at the executive level:– Data Governance focuses on technology – data catalogs.– Data Governance does not know how to / will not do effective data policy work.– Data Governance does not know how to / will not…

Get buy-in for your data modernization initiative

If you want to convince your top management to get buy-in for your data modernization initiatives, you are in the right place.  Let’s brainstorm on how we can achieve this. When you want to convince someone of your idea to modernize, you must be prepared to answer all the questions the decision-makers may have. Here are some:

What is the scope of data modernization you are talking about?

When you say ‘modernization,’ you could be talking about:

Whatever your goal, it is essential to explain it clearly — the receiving end should know WHAT CHANGE you are trying to make for the betterment of your organization.

What are the problems your business faces with legacy systems?

Frame the problem statement. Since the Stone Age, necessity has been the mother of all inventions. So, build a strong case for why you need to modernize your organization’s data platform.

Data security issues or compliance risks your company faces since your legacy platform is not designed to tackle modern-day problems. 

Your database/source might be incompatible with modern applications.

Inability to address customer demands and ever-changing business requirements, which necessitates a modernized data environment.

Troubleshooting legacy systems is not easy as the type of issues that old data setups have are difficult to tackle. Moreover, you may not have readymade solutions from the service provider handling your data.

Another critical reason is finding the right talent pool — getting new-generation developers to work on legacy systems is challenging. Most developers look for a modernized tech stack to work. Your business may have more biting problems by following traditional data systems & approaches — bring those challenges out on the table! 

What benefits would your organization or business reap from data modernization?

Of course, the benefits depend on the nature of your business and what you’re trying to achieve through data modernization.

But, the expected benefits that any organization can count on receiving through data modernization would be:

Are you talking the language of successful people?

Now, we’re not talking about using a new language. It’s about the universally known language — numbers and statistics to impact how others understand your business proposals. 

Thats right! Numbers are critical in decision-making. It will be much better if you have data about how your competitor benefited from data modernization or even how your industry is benefiting. Many research organizations like Gartner and PWC publish free articles that you can use to substantiate your goals.

Also, when you explain your proposal to modernize your data setup, you must explain what the project will mean for your organization regarding numbers.

The best thing to do is to talk about how much you will save costs through data modernization. Any decision maker would need to know about your company’s return on investments (ROI) before they nod to anything new or consider the proposal brought to them.

How do you plan to achieve data modernization?

It’s time to talk about the crux of it.

I've finally done what I inevitably do for nearly every fandom i get into: I've made a deranged spreadsheet tracking some linguistic element in a piece of media! this time it's tracking the usage of swears in Scum Villain. if you're curious, here's the full spreadsheet, but I'll write up my findings here

some notes on my methods!

I differentiated between internal and external use. external use is pretty straight forward, that's just dialogue said out loud. for internal use, that's when it's used in the narration. obviously, this is skewed towards Shen Qingqiu as our primary POV character, but occasionally the narration dips its toes into other characters' perspectives, so I kept that in mind and assigned the usage to whoever seemed most relevant in that snippet of narration. also, in the case of the transmigrators, I also counted speech directed at the System as internal because they're less likely to self-censor when talking to the System because no one else can hear them

this was done by searching for specific words and their variants in online copies of the official English translations of all four books. there are a bajillion different swears in the English language, but I tried to focus on the most common/most likely to be used. also, since I was searching for the words manually, there are going to be some that are missed because they're written out abnormally, like lengthening the word for emphasis (eg. fuuuuuuuuuck) or censoring it (eg. b- [BLEEP]). side note, i don't know why the hell SQQ ever censors anything since he seems pretty comfortable thinking some pretty foul things without censoring them, but whatever.

now for the results! data breakdown under the cut

in total, of the swears I searched for, there's 286 swears across all four books. book two is the most vulgar, with 82 swears, and book three is the least, with only 52. book two also has the most variety (14 different words) and book three has the least variety (only 10 different words)

perhaps unsurprisingly, out of these 286 swears, SQQ's internal narration is responsible for 200 of them. his most used swear is "fuck" which appears 106 times in total and 86 times from SQQ (internal) specifically

following SQQ (internal) in the rankings is Shang Qinghua (internal) at 30 in total. his most used swear is "fucking." after that is SQH's external dialogue (14 swears, most used is "fuck") and then SQQ's external dialogue (11 swears, tied between "fuck" and "fucking"). considering how much he swears in his head, I think SQQ is exhibiting a surprising amount of restraint when it comes to swearing out loud!

aside from the transmigrators, the most vulgar side character is, surprisingly, Shen Jiu! he gets two internal uses of "fuck" and two external swears ("shitty" and "damn"). these are all from when he was younger, so perhaps this is a habit he broke when he got older and had to present a particular image as peak lord

the only other side characters who swear are Sha Hualing (internal), Bingge (internal), Linguang-Jun (external), Qiu Jianluo (external), and Ming Fan. all of them only swear once except Ming Fan, who gets two (one internal and one external)

of the 18 swear words I tracked, SQQ used all of them except one. the only person to say "bitch" is Ming Fan, out loud. #MingFanMisogynyMoments

SQQ does, however, have a monopoly on motherfuck/motherfucker/motherfucking, goddammit, dumbass, dick, and pussy. damn dude, you kiss your disciple with that mouth?

pre-transmigration, Shen Yuan swore three times in one forum post, those being "fucking," "damn," and "ass."

most usages of "ass" are for emphatic purposes, like "Relax, my ass!" Both SQQ and SQH really enjoy this construction lol

despite volume two being the most vulgar, it has the least variety of speakers! SQQ is responsible for all but two of those swears, the other two belonging to Sha Hualing and Ming Fan. volume four has the most variety, likely because it just involves a wide variety of characters

and that's my data roundup! go forth and use this as a resource when choosing how to insert swearing into your SVSSS dialogue <3

“Allow ads on our site please” fuck you, all of your advertisements are either misinformation, deceptive mobile game promos, gross body horror, nothing relevant to me, a virus or (usually) all of the above.

Every ad I see is dangerous. I don’t think I have ever purposely clicked on an online ad. No, I will not disable my ad blocker. Go to hell.

So what I find really interesting is how I absolutely hate current AI, but how much I love fictional robots/artificial intelligence. Every time the issue, "Can robots feel?" Is brought up in any kind of fictional media, I always firmly believe that they can. Just because they are not human doesn't mean they can't create and experience things. So why don't I feel this way about Chat GPT? I mean, it's an AI. Let's use Data from Star Trek as an example. He's a robot that is deemed incapable of human emotions, yet he still seems to simulate such emotions. He paints quite a bit, and I love all his art. However, when Chat GPT "paints," I hate it. It's stolen art. But Data kind of does the same thing, using vast amounts of previous examples to create something new. Both are AI that supposedly can't feel, but simulate human emotions and traits. SO WHAT TRULY IS THE DIFFERENCE? Is it because Data is more humanoid? That he uses a brush instead of a screen? Mabye, but probably not. Other examples of fictional AIs without a body make things on screen, and I still love it. So I don't know. I don't know why I feel like this. All I know is that I don't like Chat GPT or what it stands for. However, there is a small part of me scared to hate modern AI. Because what if I'm wrong and it can feel in some sort of strang way. Mabye it can't think like us, but perhaps it CAN think. I doubt this is the case, but still. Im scared how apathetic I am towards these AIs. Because what if one day we get robots that can think, and I become one of the people dismissing them instead of accepting them. This is just something I think about a lot lol

I don't know that I've seen a quarterback exerting that kind of pressure on the organization....Joe Burrow has been incredibly consistent and vocal about wanting to keep Tee Higgins around...

Burrow's contract has already forced Cincinnati to start doing some things that they don't normally do. He has already broken rules that the Bengals have typically had in terms of how they handle their contracts. Like his deal is the type of deal that they don't sign previously. So they've already made exceptions...started to modernize...started to act the way the rest of the NFL does, because Burrow is so special...so if he was able to make them do that for his own contract, is he able to make them do that to keep Tee Higgins in the building? To go in a different direction than they would normally do?
