  • Tech radio

    This is the worst. It isn’t even on the actual radio. It is in Ireland which also makes it bad because they are all gingers. Real tech radio is better.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bezos Beats Musk
Q: Cormac, what has Camara learned over 20 years about what works in technology-enabled education across different countries?
The key is combining hardware with comprehensive training, local hubs, and ongoing on-ground support, plus adapting tools to fit the local curriculum and infrastructure.
Life After Copper: Ireland’s Fibre-Only Future
Q: When is the copper switch-off in Ireland expected to happen, and what should businesses start doing now?
The switch-off is planned for 2030, and companies should begin with an audit of PSDN and ISDN lines, rationalize numbers, migrate to IP-based solutions, verify PBX readiness, and ensure backup connectivity to maintain operations.
A Landmark Shift in Tech Design
Q: How does Bot Bureau's AI handle complex customer interactions over the phone?
The system uses a combination of fast, low-latency models for quick responses and content knowledge derived from the client's data (web, PDFs, FAQs) to answer, with post-call processing to summarize and classify the interaction.
A Landmark Shift in Tech Design
Q: What was the core finding in the social media case discussed?
The core finding centered on whether the design and operation of Instagram and YouTube were negligent in how algorithms and UI features were used to keep minors engaged, rather than the content itself.
Information Warfare
Q: Tell me about NoComEd and what problem you're solving for the health sector.
NoComEd is a platform that measures and reduces carbon emissions in the healthcare supply chain, automating data collection and reporting to help suppliers tender with lower emissions. It's designed around three companies' data to validate that the solution works in real-world healthcare contexts, and the business model emphasizes building with clients through pilot projects and regulated environments like NHS tendering requirements.
