Hrleins efforts to translate success in certain areas (vitamin deficiency disease, chemotherapy of protozoal infections) into optimism about possibilities in other areas (cancer, antibacterial chemotherapy) was characteristic. The electric incandescent lightbulb was invented, reinvented, coinvented, or first invented dozens of times. You however know what ignorance can trigger and how to deal with ignorance and purpose. Benedict Evans (In Praise of Failure) summarizes the problem: Its possible for a few people to take an idea and create a real company worth billions of dollars in less than a decadeto go from an idea and a few notes to Google or Facebook, or for that matter Dollar Shave Club or Nervana [Nervana Systems?]. I was actually reading some earlier papers. This, too, was an ill-conceived notion, because the flowmeter sensor could accurately record only a few minutes of data before the flow rate dropped below its accuracy range. Dude, dont you remember CueCat at all? Technology can be the knowledge of techniques, processes, and the like, or it can be embedded in machines which can be operated without detailed knowledge of their workings. In Schlumberger at that time, there were two alternative technologies competing with pressure-transient-test analysis using the derivative. The researchers used qualitative research approach in this study with phenomenological research design. 3). Learn more with Olympus. From Frock2006, Changing How the World Does Business: Fedexs Incredible Journey to Success, in 1973: On several occasions, we came within an inch of failure, because of dwindling financial resources, regulatory roadblocks, or unforeseen events like the Arab oil embargo. The problem with timing is that every innovation only has a relatively small window of opportunity that happens when the technology and customers are ready, but there isn't much entrenched competition. Vacuum tube technology was first exploited for high-speed digital computing in Britain during the Second World War [16]. Indeed, its inherent in really transformative ideas that they look like bad ideasGoogle, Apple, Facebook and Amazon all did, sometimes several times over. In this sense, Hrlein might be said to have thoughtas Thomas Hughes has shown that Edison didin terms of reverse salients and critical problems. Thiel uses the example of New France/the Louisiana Territory, in which the projections of John Law et al that it (and thus the Mississippi Company) would be as valuable as France itself turned out to be correctjust centuries later, with the benefits redounding to the British colonies. The three outstanding problems in physics, in a certain sense, were never worked on while I was at Bell Labs. Businesses wont be able to get enough of it; employees will love to hate it., English Wikipedia: Well compete with Microsoft Encarta, the Encyclopedia Britannica, H2G2, Everything2, Interpedia, The Distributed Encyclopedia Project (TDEP), TheInfo, & GNUs GNE by letting literally anyone edit some draft articles for Nupedia.9, Zoom: Skype has a literally 15-year headstart, but we can do so much better, and maybe something will make everyone suddenly want to video-conference after all this time avoiding it as much as possible?. Michael Wolfe offers some examples of this: How about Netflix? Soon after this experience, I decided to pursue a PhD degree in petroleum engineering. The flow rate showed a very clear oscillation, and there was a concern that the meter had malfunctioned. The timeliness of your word is surely on point.". Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Its Moores law. Through consolidation and failure, 3 emerged on top, 2 of which went bankrupt. The possibility of broadcasting radio waves across the Atlantic was convincingly excluded by theoretical analysis. PayPals major challenge, for example, was not finding a market like eBay power sellers, but coping with fraud as they scaled, which apparently was the undoing of any number of rivals., Personally, I was still using Dogpile until at least 2000.. The course The ICT course was not really difficult, as I had a very good knowledge about the different types of technologies that were presented, but the idea of adapting them to my classroom got me thinking. We do not know what a unicorn is like. Before I answer this question, let me provide a brief narrative about my own career in our great industry. (TML). Pity the Scientist Who Discovers the Discovered, ignoring both mail order & Internet all the way until bankruptcy in 2010, eBay sellers like us so much theyre making their own promotional materials, The most successful people I know believe in themselves almost to the point of delusion, Why did we wait so long for the bicycle?, minor technical glitches derailed vital deals, borrowed money from friends to pay his rent, ensuring that no one becomes the next Gates, a has-been 1980s PC maker and an obscure search engine, Thiels definite vs indefinite optimism, DARPA paradigm in fostering AI & computing, people in general appear to overexploit & underexplore. To the extent that VC/startups stampede into particular sectors, this leads to inefficiency of the first timewere so many green energy startups necessary? Right then, I made an incredible blunder. 2. Ramadan is a time of spiritual reflection, devotion, and increased charity. (Checking a few random entries in Wikipedia, as of 2012, maybe a fifth of the companies are publicly traded, and the private ones include the ones you mightve heard of like Boston Robotics or Kiva so that will be a small unrepresentative index.) After all, nonobvious ideas that could in fact become big businesses are by definition nonobvious. Yet both of these can be enablers for competitive advantage. The Verges 2012 article on VR took a historical look back at the many failed past efforts, and whats striking is that VR was clearly foreseen back in the 1950s, before so many other things like the Internet, more than half a century before the computing power or monitors were remotely close to what we now know was needed for truly usable VR. Why did we wait so long for the bicycle?). You dont want to publish a paper that says, After the study, we came to the conclusion that VR is useless right now and that we should just not have a job for 20 years. There were a few people that basically came to that conclusion. Every authentic solution brings in its wake a train of grotesque solutions. Imagine this: You wake up one day in a world without technology - all the computers on the planet just disappeared. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effects of sports, sports education, technological uses, and their effects on sports education. Those were hard binding limits, and to solve them by creating tiny high-resolution LED/LCD screens for smartphones, required the benefit of decades of Moores law and the experience curve effects of manufacturing billions of smartphones. Ed Boyden on Minding your Brain (Ep. Put simply, it's not the time lead or the technology; it's what a firm does with its time lead and . So many models could be easily derived when the governing equations were transformed into Laplace space. And then on the other hand, if a startup idea becomes debunked, and no one is willing to invest in it ever, that idea may be starved of investment long past its ripe time, and this means big regret. All the problems of the world could be settled if people were only willing to think. It wont have cut and paste. And so, we see, in our world around half such attempts fail completely, and 5% or so go to the moon. Every Monday, they required Federal Express to prepay for the anticipated weekly usage of jet fuel. Many of these models may require transients much too long to be practical in a well test, but may be quite effective for analysis of production data (Fig. The Educational Technology course is designed to prepare teachers for all different grade levels with skills, concepts and understanding among other skills to integrate technology in their lessons to enhance learning as well as to make learning more effective. Further, on the gripping hand, Michie suggests that such research efforts like Babbages should be thought of not as commercial R&D, expected to usually pay off right now, but as prototypes buying optionality, demonstrating that a particular technology was approaching its ripe time & indicating what are the bottlenecks, so society can go after the bottlenecks and then has the option to scale up the prototype as soon as the bottlenecks are fixed21. Informatio: The new language of science ( Hans Christian von Baeyer) 14-15 Actually, our son played a role in all this as well, and I look forward to seeing Alex make his mark in the energy industry before long. and err In essence, this means that usually the time isn't right for most innovations. 64): BOYDEN: One idea is, how do we find the diamonds in the rough, the big ideas but theyre kind of hidden in plain sight? One reason is that our form of energy, oil, is misunderstood by most people, including many of us in the petroleum industry. Daily events can be hard to wrap your mind around in some cases. Scott et al 2019, McKenzie&Sansone2019). They describe Heinrich Hrleins drug development programs & Thomas Edisons electrical programs as being strategically aimed at opportunities called reverse salients, taking necessary steps to solve bottlenecks which hold back the practical application of progress in areas. Candidate-gene studies were done by every Tom, Dick, and Harry, but the methodology failed completely because sample sizes many orders of magnitude larger were necessary. quick and timely) and also ecologically valid (i.e. Apparently by individuals acting suboptimally on the personal level, but optimally on societal level by serving as random exploration. We managed to get a taste of the experience with something called the Power GloveSony actually brought out a little near-eye display called Virtual Boy; not very good, but they gave it their best shot. The concept behind antireflection technology is to control the light used in an optical device in such a manner that the light rays reflect from surfaces where it is intended and . However, technology affects ones thinking capacity and development of ideas. We can draw lines on a graph but we dont know the constraints. Launching too early means failure, but being conservative & launching later is just as bad because regardless of forecasting, a good idea will draw overly-optimistic researchers or entrepreneurs to it like moths to a flame: all get immolated but the one with the dumb luck to kiss the flame at the perfect instant, who then wins everything, at which point everyone can see that the optimal time is past. This explores all options initially but gradually homes in on the most profitable option to exploit most of the time, while still occasionally exploring all the other options once in a while, just in case; strictly speaking Thompson sampling will never ban an option permanently, the probability of selecting an option merely becomes vanishingly rare. Many startups have a long list of failed predecessors who tried to do much the same thing, often simultaneous with several other competitors (startups are just as susceptible to multiple discovery as science/technology in general3). What made them a success was that they happened to give the pinata a whack at the exact moment where some S-curves or events hit the right point. Late reflections are those that arrive after about 60 ms following the reception of the direct signal. We won't always understand God's timing, so we have to trust that it is best for us. Where does this leave us? However, those are precisely the startups that crazy people will have done years before when they looked like bad ideas, avoiding the waste of delay. With optogenetics, people were trying to control brain cells with light going back to 1971. Well, this class of molecules that we put into neurons hadnt been discovered yet. Only Apple can build apps for it. And at some point, it does improve, and the first person to try at the right time may win the lottery; Palmer Luckey (founder of Oculus, sold to Facebook for $2.95$2.302014 billion in March20144): Heres a secret: the thing stopping people from making good VR and solving these problems was not technical. The benefit for someone like DARPA of a forecast like Moores law is that it provides one fixed trend to gauge overall timing to within a decade or so, and look for those dots which have lagged behind and become reverse salients.25 For an entrepreneur, the advantage of exponential thinking is more fatalistic: being able to launch in the window of time between just after technical feasibility but before someone else randomly gives it a try; if wrong and it was always impossible, it doesnt matter when one launches, and if wrong because timing is wrong, ones choice is effectively random and little is lost by delay. Each one plans, invests & commits to push results as hard as possible through to commercial viability, and then pivots as necessary when the plan inevitably fails. If the software doesnt work out, I guess well do something else. My partner Chris Dixon describes our job as VCs as investing in good ideas that look like bad ideas. Google: we are building the worlds 20th search engine at a time when most of the others have been abandoned as being commoditized money losers. Can I conceive of a team better equipped to address the market needs that might walk through our doors tomorrow? What other lessons could we draw if we thought about technology this way? Its only rocket science., Uber/Lyft/DiDi: Taxis & buses. Again, the issue with adoption is that the timing is so damn hard. Spotting a promising trend and a winning investment are two different things. The most informative plan is the most polarizing one.29. He viewed the academic-industrial connection as crucial and mutually beneficial. Youve seen the curves Gordon Moore discovered. In1998! Although Babbage was one of Britains great innovative geniuses, support of his work was wasted money in terms of tangible return on investment. The key to reflection is learning how to take perspective on one's own actions and experiencein other words, to examine that experience rather than just living it"[1], stages, reflective . These days you put some kind of camera on the head and look around in the room and it just calculates where you arethe headsets are self-sufficient instead of relying on an external reference infrastructure. Reflection-in-action "Thinking about what you are doing, while you are doing it." (Schn, 1983) Reflection-in-action happens in what Schn (1983) describes as 'the midst of activity' - in coaching terms this is likely to be during a coaching session or game. Organizing a Reflection Paper 1 Keep it short and sweet. If so, you might spend some of your hypothetical money on whatever the best approximation to a robotics index fund you can find, as the best of a bunch of bad choices. Dj vu, because what was described in TML on every other page is recognizably ordinary life in the 1990s and 2000s, never mind the 2010s, from the spread of broadband to the eventual impact of smartphones. In my first draft of this essay in 2012, I noted that we see what looks like a Bitcoin bubble as the price inflates from ~$0 to $171.5$130.02012yet, if Bitcoin were the Real Deal, we would expect large price increases as people learn of it and it directly gains value from increased use, an ecosystem slowly unlocking the fancy cryptographic features, etc. In fact, timing is a science. Jr.: Drawdown Behavior of a Well With Storage and Skin Effect Communicating With Layers of Different Radii and Other Characteristics, paper SPE 7453 presented at the 1978 SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, October 13, Houston. God's timing is perfect, it's true; His ways are higher, beyond our view. My timing on the technical front could not have been better. It can reasonably be said that time was unripe for digital computing as an industrial technology. For if they were obviously good ideas, they would never produce venture returns. He showed me that the families of type curves he was generating were hardly distinguishable as pressure change on log-log coordinates, but they showed considerable character when graphed as a pressure derivative. Something happened that made the world different. If you look at bicycles, there were thousands of weird models built and tried before they found the one that really worked. The most demanding suppliers when it came to payments were the oil companies. My PhD adviser at Stanford was Professor Henry J. Ramey Jr., one of the all-time giants in reservoir engineering, and especially in well testing. Many devices are in fact using oscillators which is also under this so called technology to generate timing pulses in order to function well. We continued to be in desperate financial trouble, particularly with our suppliers. Bitcoin is a topical example: its still in the early stages where it looks either like a genius stroke to invest in, or a fools paradise/Ponzi scheme. Or were they lucky in trying at the right time, and merely captured all of the value, because a 99% adequate VR headset is worth 0%, and they added the final 1%? As I waited somewhat nervously to give my first technical presentation in 1975, several papers were introduced with an anecdote about the speakers experiences 25 years before. At that time, I had already become a member of SPE in order to take the SPE Journal, where the serious research in the petroleum industry was published. Returning to Donald Michie: one could make fun of his extremely overly-optimistic AI projections, and write him off as the stock figure of the biased AI researcher blinded by the Maes-Garreau law where AI is always scheduled for right when a researcher will retire19 but while he was wrong, it is unclear this was a mistake because in other cases, an apparently doomed research projectMarconis attempt to radio across the Atlantic oceansucceeded because of an unknown unknownthe KennellyHeaviside layer20. Will the founder be able to explain her vision in a way that causes others to want to join her on this mission? The third big area of team investigation for VCs focuses on the founders leadership abilities. Within industrial research organizationsand, implicitly, within academic onesHrlein called for special institutional arrangements to encourage appropriate interactions between chemistry and biomedicine. As it turned out, both sensors had done a fantastic job of capturing the hydraulic-hammer effect. (How do you force all relevant companies to sell tradable stakes? Even now, after weve been building them for 100 years, its very difficult to understand just why a bicycle worksits even difficult to formulate it as a mathematical problem. ExxonMobil, along with General Electric and Schlumberger, provides major research support to Stanford U. in the Global Climate and Energy Project. Below are some guiding questions . Theyd been known for decades. One theme I notice in many systems is that they follow a multi-level optimization structure where slow blackbox methods give rise to more efficient Bayesian inference. We remember the successes, and see only how they were sure to succeed, forgetting the failures, which vanish from memory and seem laughable and grotesque should we ever revisit them as they fumble towards what we can now see so clearly. timing the adoption of a new the strategic alternatives open to competing ing real option approach seems to provide a technology. Whats the benefit of being the 100,000th person working on something? We often joke at a16z that there is a tendency to fight the last battle in an area in which one has long-standing professional exposure; the scars from previous mistakes run too deep and can make it harder for one to develop creative ways to address the business problem at hand. 2). [8: European AISB Newsletter, no. The average of multiple plans is often worse than any single plan. While upper management panders to environmentalists, the young minions keep slogging it out, delivering the oil and gas that is desperately needed all over the world as though there will be no end to it. The auditor who went through the companys books concluded that it was entirely solventwhich isnt surprising, when you consider that the lands it owned in America now produce trillions of dollars in economic value. One could also say the same thing of China: countless European observers forecast that China was a sleeping giant which, once it industrialized & modernized, would again be a global power. The question constantly asked of anyone who claims to know a better way (as futurologists implicitly do): If youre so smart, why arent you rich? The lesson I draw is: it is not enough to predict the future, one has to get the timing right to not be ruined, and then execute, and then get lucky in a myriad ways. Advances in technology have brought us online banking, smart cars, smart TVs, lightning fast computers, and the latest buzz: virtual reality. Hrlein perceived a need for a set of mutually complementary institutions and trained personnel whose interaction produces the desired results. and simple to express: How we decide by Jonah Lehrer. A further application of criterion 4 arises if theoretical infeasibility is demonstratedBut it is well to look on such negative proofs with caution. (Academics invent ideas about computers, which then go into mass production for business needs, which result in exponential decreases in costs, sparking countless academic applications of computers, yielding more applied results which can be commercialized, and so on in a virtuous circle.) We know that a given animal with a mane is a horse, and that one with horns is a bull. Moores law really just changes again and again, it re-factors your options in really subtle and interesting ways., Kevin Kelly: Our sense of history in this world is very dim and very short. More importantly, he showed me what differentiated quartz-gauge data looked like. The two failure modes of a MAB algorithm are investing too much in one option early on, and then investing too little later on; in the former, you inefficiently buy too much information on an option which happened to have good luck but is not guaranteed to be the best at the expense of others (which may in fact be the best), while in the latter, you buy too little & risk permanently making a mistake by prematurely rejecting an apparently-bad option (which simply had bad luck early on). Technological forecasts are often surprisingly prescient in terms of predicting that something was possible & desirable and what they predict eventually happens; but they are far less successful at predicting the timing, and almost always fail, with the success (and riches) going to another. 2. have new ideas and skills to do a better job. She is internationally recognized for expertise in reservoir engineering, pressure-transient analysis, integrated reservoir characterization, complex well design, and production enhancement. I think most people are aware of fads/stampedes in investing, but the latter error is not so commonly discussed. But what about after the fifteenth? Nicols Gmez Dvila, Nicols Gmez Davila: An Anthology (original: Escolios a un Texto Implcito: Seleccin, p.430). This is true but I would say it reverses the order (N to N+1? The world economy grows at something like 2% a year, labor costs generally seem to go up, prices of computers and robotics usually falls Do industry projections expect to grow their sales by <25% a year? and less. The research manager had to be active in defining goals, in marshaling means and resources, and in assessing success or failure. X Research source. One of the most basic reasons to begin self-reflection in your daily routine is that it can assist you in making sense of daily events. Lets imagine a different scenario, where instead you were confident that home robotics were about to experience a huge growth spurt. Critical problems are the research questions, cast in terms of the concrete particulars of currently available knowledge and technique and of specific exemplars or models (eg. Consider the ill-fated eToys.com or Pets.com: was the investor right to believe that Americans would spend a ton of money online such as for buying toys or dogfood? Lawrence Shepp (attributed; Pity the Scientist Who Discovers the Discovered). In recent times, corporate research has diminished, and that may be a bad thing: The changing structure of American innovation: Some cautionary remarks for economic growth, Arora et al 2020., One might appeal to the Kelly criterion as a guide to how much individuals should wager on experiments, since the Kelly criterion gives optimal growth of wealth over the long-term while avoiding gamblers ruin, but given the extremely small number of wagers an individual engages in, with a highly finite horizon, the Kelly criterions assumptions are far from satisfied, and the true optimal strategy can be radically different from a naive Kelly criterion; I explore this difference more in The Kelly Coin-flipping Game, which is motivated by stock-market investing., Thompson sampling, incidentally, has been rediscovered, PSRL (posterior sampling, see also Ghavamzadeh et al 2016) generalizes Thompson sampling to more complex problems, MDPs or POMDPs in general, by for each iteration, assuming an entire collection or distribution of possible environments which are more complex than a single-step bandit, picking an environment at random based on its probability of being the real environment, finding the optimal actions for that one, and then acting on that solution; this does the same thing in smoothly balancing exploration with exploitation. Ummon addressed the assembly and said: I am not asking you about the days before the fifteenth of the month. Yet they all seemed to be independently aiming for the same archetypal design. She recently became Director of the Center for Energy, Environment, and Transportation Innovation in the Crisman Inst. If an hour of reflection seems like too much, try 10 minutes. Much progress has come from groups like SSGAC or PGC, which are consortiums of groups of all sizes (with some highly conditional participation from 23andMe)., [Backlinks, similar links, and the link-bibliography require JS enabled to transclude. However, they also brought us cyber warfare, hackers, identity theft, cyber stalking, and a host of other bad things. Researchers in general have no incentive to say, this is not the right time, wait another 20 years for Moores law to make it doable, even if everyone in the field is perfectly aware of thisPalmer Luckey: I spent a huge amount of time readingI think that there were a lot of people that were giving VR too much credit, because they were working as VR researchers. Reflection Paper About Technology Reflection Paper #1 It is 2017 and it is safe to say that technology has integrated into daily routines. A successful company rewrites history and its precursors14; history must be lived forward, progressing to an obscure destination, but we always recall it backwards as progressing towards the clarity of the present. 1. Can you at least profit from your knowledge of the outcome? Nanosystems on a chip, is said to be able to provide critical foundation to diagnostics biomarkers and point-of-care technologies as well as detection of pathogen. And, consistent with the idea that there is a large ineradicable element of chance to it, surveys of startups suggest that while there are individual differences in odds of success (skill), any founder learning curve (learning-by-doing) is small & success probability remains low regardless of experience (Gompers et al 2006/Gompers2010, Parker2011, Gottschalk2014), and experienced entrepreneurs still have low odds of forecasting startups achieving commercialization at all, approaching random predictions in non-R&D-intensive sectors (eg. Develop your point through body paragraph (s), and conclude your paper by exploring the meaning you derive from your reflection. Ehlig-Economides, C.A., Mowat, G.R., and Corbett, C.: Techniques for Multibranch Well Trajectory Design in the Context of a Three-Dimensional Reservoir Model, paper SPE 35505 presented at the European 3D Reservoir Modeling Conference in Stavanger, 1617 April 1996. Sensors, displays batteries! And Lanier implies that Japan alone spent a lot of money: Jaron Lanier: The components have finally gotten cheap enough that we can start to talk about them as being accessible in the way that everybodys always wantedMoores law is so interesting because its not just the same components getting cheaper, but it really changes the way you do things. 2.
