8x8 Inc (EGHT) Options

Device drivers interact with the kernel primarily through a well-defined set of interfaces and mechanisms:

Kernel APIs and System Calls:
Drivers use kernel-provided functions (APIs) to access kernel resources, manage memory, schedule tasks, and communicate with other parts of the system.
Drivers also implement specific entry points (system calls) that the kernel invokes to perform device-specific operations requested by user applications or other parts of the system.  
Interrupts and DMA:
Drivers use interrupts to signal the kernel when a device requires attention, such as when data is ready to be transferred or an error has occurred.  
Drivers may also use Direct Memory Access (DMA) to transfer data directly between a device and memory without involving the CPU, improving performance.  
Device Registration and Management:
Drivers register themselves with the kernel during system initialization, providing information about the devices they support and the operations they can perform.  
The kernel maintains a registry of loaded drivers and handles device discovery, configuration, and resource allocation.
Kernel Modules:
In many modern operating systems, drivers are implemented as loadable kernel modules, allowing them to be added or removed from the running kernel without requiring a system reboot.

CPaaS (Communications Platform as a Service) plays a crucial role in enabling and enhancing the integration of generative AI into communication channels.

Here's how:  

Seamless Integration: CPaaS platforms provide the necessary infrastructure and APIs to easily integrate generative AI models into various communication channels, such as voice, SMS, chat, and video. This allows businesses to leverage the power of AI to enhance customer interactions, automate processes, and personalize experiences.  

Real-Time Communication: CPaaS enables real-time communication between generative AI models and customers, allowing for instant responses and dynamic conversations. This is essential for applications like AI-powered chatbots, virtual assistants, and voice assistants.  

Scalability: CPaaS platforms are designed to be scalable, allowing businesses to easily add or remove communication channels and AI capabilities as needed. This ensures that the generative AI-powered communication solution can adapt to changing business needs and growing customer demand.  

Omnichannel Experience: CPaaS enables businesses to provide a consistent and seamless omnichannel experience for their customers. Generative AI models can be integrated across multiple channels, allowing customers to interact with the same AI assistant across different platforms, such as website chat, SMS, or voice calls.  

Data Collection and Analysis: CPaaS platforms can collect and analyze data from customer interactions with generative AI models. This data can be used to train and improve the AI models, personalize customer experiences, and gain insights into customer behavior and preferences.

Security and Compliance: CPaaS platforms often provide built-in security features and compliance measures to protect customer data and ensure privacy. This is crucial when dealing with sensitive information that may be shared during interactions with generative AI models.  

Use Cases of CPaaS in Generative AI:

AI-Powered Chatbots: CPaaS enables businesses to deploy AI-powered chatbots that can handle customer inquiries, provide support, and even complete transactions.  
Virtual Assistants: CPaaS can be used to create virtual assistants that can schedule appointments, send reminders, and perform other tasks for customers.
Voice Assistants: CPaaS allows businesses to develop voice assistants that can answer questions, provide directions, and control smart home devices.
Personalized Marketing: Generative AI models integrated with CPaaS can create personalized marketing messages and recommendations based on customer data and preferences.
Conclusion:

CPaaS plays a critical role in bridging the gap between generative AI and communication channels. By providing the necessary infrastructure, APIs, and features, CPaaS enables businesses to leverage the power of AI to transform customer interactions, improve efficiency, and drive growth.

shorting of rng, 8 , interesting. is 8 in a reversal position with rng?

211.226shares traded at 2.706 @12:42

covering or buying?

nasdaq says institutions own 102.81%
yahoo says institutions own 93.89%

a difference of 8.92% of 125 million shares.

i ask myself is the difference the number of naked short shares?11.150 million shares?

and a recent sec ruling made the market maker which allowed this transactions to make good on the naked short positions..

new chromebook plus, like acer's, allows access to gemini advanced. and integration google apps like gmail and docs.

rag might require obtaining data from google, meta, twitter, ihub, cnn, etc. does 8 have a license from such? they seem to have something with the google contact center in the past.

from the quarterly:"These are the early indicators that our efforts to build a high-performance go-to-market organization are working. Given the nature of enterprise sales cycles and our ratable revenue growth, there's a lag before our progress is evident in our revenue growth. But I am confident that the changes we've made will drive improved performance and accelerating growth by the end of the current fiscal year. As we look to the future, our strategy is clear. We will continue to drive innovation, intentionally engineered solutions that deliver superior business outcomes for our customers. I encourage you to watch a short video case study of the San Diego Zoo's implementation of our integrated solution as an example of our solution approach and rapid time to value.

Working in partnership with the internal team at the zoo, we implemented a full service contact center with an AI-based self-service option for inbound calls in less than 45 days. We have intentionally engineered our products and solutions for this level of agility and rapid time to value. We can leverage this advantage to develop our own purpose-built solutions as well. For example, 2024 is a big year for elections in both the US and UK. Using the power of conversational AI and automation, our UK team built a library of out-of-the-box templates to support local government and improve citizen access to important information for upcoming elections. To drive awareness and adoptions of our innovations, we are committed to continued improvement in our go-to-market activities."

the voter ai assistant and need for rag/retrieval-augmented generative for the llm , wags. sam mentioned rag in the quarterly.

rng down this am, 8 so far steady.....? reversal of the long/short going on. closing the shorts and going long on 8?june 1, a new day for 8?

personal assistant for voting information. so who provides the governance on the info?
today show just tried to say inflation is not so bad citing mcdonalds prices only up 21% 2019 to today. how much was in the last 3.5 years?

yahoo seems to have deleted my posts. but i guess investorhub is freedom from tyranny and manipulation.

8 and aws;
sap and aws for multiple chat apps in an app? sap and aws pr today.
ec2 of aws allows users to rent virtual servers . to use such and the services they provide you might also need to use the 8 patent for user designated dynamic dns mapping of virtua server and virtual services desired.
a review of the sap/aws pr shows there are 7 ai's available : AIw1 labs, anthropic, cohere,meta, mistral ai, stabiity ai, and amazon.

i'm wondering if apple will use some aws for their ai. i believe apple used ibm, which was on vz, which is now on aws.
small world...

surprised not any postings here in the past Month plus, it has been a steady Trader, No dilution.

Doc What we have here is a failure to communicate. Vcsy wants to communicate with eght. But they’ve got to get their minds right. AI. Get your mind right.

Hey Doc. Go eight !!!!I got on here. Only allowed 1 post per day over there. U say 1 wrong word and their ai knows and blocks or bans you. Be careful . Looks like I’ll be buying some eght ! Daughter looking at Oxford Lawyer/Judge/C J SCOTUS so yeah. I’ll need to buy my own G3. That’ll do. Lol

chrome and firefox browsers
cover android/hp/acer/samsung/lg/etc and apple products. wags.

chat apps and programmable apis......so various chat applications from major os/platforms, programmable integration of realtime streaming audio and video objects in javascript /webrtc(server side) to be treated like standard video/audio objects in html5( client side).

how to get the generative ai into your application.......so if an amazon provides generative ai, how do you get it into your application?
gosh, if this is so, this is huge. no wonder they've got these messages blocked.

self service push for improved customer eXperience, including costs savings?
segue with amazon web service work of customizing for customers. wags.
using programmable api's.......could then use magnite cleardirect ip to get the webrtc(jitsi) audio/video messaging into the application using favascript /html5 of chrome and firefox?

then call all the app dev ops...use also the microfrontend registry of preconfigured objects and pretrained ai on such. guesses.

yeah, insiders just sold about 2k shares each to fulfill their obligations, but no mass panic.

heavy censoring on the yahoo board. not even to the rejection step, just blank.
but
"The WebRTC APIs essentially allow JavaScript to generate real-time video and voice streams that can be treated like standard video and audio objects in HTML5. This gives developers a chance to incorporate streaming media into their applications using nothing more than HTML5 capabilities that are already built into Chrome and Firefox browsers.

What is difference between syntax and semantics in artificial intelligence?
What Is syntax AI?
Syntax - It refers to arranging words to make a sentence. It also involves determining the structural role of words in the sentence and in phrases. Semantics - It is concerned with the meaning of words and how to combine words into meaningful phrases and sentences.

natural language prompts and ability to translate and transcribe. etl........
now i wonder if a prompt is calling for the correct virtual server/virtual service to do you work?
one for financial, another for football team, another for medical, another for chemistry/physics/,
another for medical specialties like eye, ent, cardiac, endocrinology or across the board medicine?
another for dna sequencing/synthetic construction.
etc.

yahoo blocking 8x8 board . or censoring.
linked in msft copilot presentation. wow.
but it requires getting your business' unified communications .email/text/chat/calls/mail/etc.
they use llm, graph data, modified prompts.

yes, 8's prior ceo was spot on.
now thinking ibm and threats/homeland security work.
or power grid resiliency/maintenance
or nuclear power

https://www.linkedin.com/events/thefutureofwork-reinventingprod7038508574142074880/comments/

yahoo boards are censoring mightily today. obviously, a crooked way to have a discussion forum.

msft new work with ai at 11am et today.
8x8 platform is integrated with open ai.
8x8 voice for msft teams.
ai works with data ...all of the data would yield better ai, lest you miss something.

capped calls on 8x8 14million shares; ? to cover their shorts? priced 25 /share?
elliot bought citrix to merge with tibco; tibco and apache kafka....streaming realtime data..? some jitsi/8x8 and oracle which is less expressive streaming ip?
francisco loaned the money to 8x8;
francisco bought watson healthcare.
citrix used in many hospitals. problem is each app has to be opened individually? 8x8 multiple chat apps in an app could be huge
mgh/brigham group?

all of a sudden they're looking at historical data and finding more evidence of balloon incursions.

google maps and zerigo integration
edge detection and motion vector estimation
tumor mapping for radiologic or electromagnetic field treatment
rfid to label the complex polyhedron shapes
microfocus/msft azure partnership for ai on visual object transformation

examples of posts which were rejected by yahoo finance 8x8. why? obvious.?

google is down today because of rumored faulty information for a search on james webb telescope. the ai said james webb was the first to take pictures of exoplanets, but it was done earlier . However, a search of nasa and james webb disclosed that james webb would be taking/took pictures of exoplanets in never before seen wavelengths which would yield new information. so, not exactly right but not wrong. the meta data should have indicated what kind of pictures...new wavelength pictures. perhaps, like any other ml/ai , the more you use it, the better it gets?

microservices and generative ai.
X is the cloud native collaboration level of microservices?
it is cloud level......google amp, amazon cloudfront, 8x8 , wags.

vall-e: extract, make it into tokens(transform), load.....interesting, eh?

FUZE and apple. perhaps, apple sensors and FUZE connectivity in mobile client, with FUZE now becoming 8x8 Client/work for mobile? sensors collecting early warning data/metrics. combined with subsequent biomarkers/contract tracing and initiation of tlr7 system....analagous to looking for drone infiltration? guesses.

hp bought neoware and now poly. poly used 8x8 network. new partner of 8x8 hp.

hp partner of vmware and msft and cisco and intel and amd and google and ect.

vista equity and citrix which is to be integrated with tibco.

citrix client to msft os/pc's. for connection to server/services/and other organizations.

8x8 and cloud ip. including nodes and networked nodes.

connectivity via ethereum blockchain, merge proof of stake.

contracts at the client side determine the functionality/routing/etc.

data about corporate interactions analyzed in realtime.

sales force organization can be redone with significantly less effort than before. this would facilitate mergers and acquisitions and reorganizations.

we all remember 1-800 flowers, or some of us do.

adhoc working groups now becoming de rigueur in many organizations due to job, goals, employee attendance, etc.

amazon inspire ? could be made with 8x8 cloud level......amazon cloudfront and google amp and jitsi for streaming webrtc....

https://ubunlog.com/en/jitsi-an-excellent-open-source-multiplatform-video-conferencing-application/#Que_hay_de_nuevo_en_la_version_20

needham conf.....autobots for cc....overall, 8x8 people seemed almost reticent to be there talking about company. potentially related to corp layoffs in techs....roi improvements with 8x8 ip alluded to in a general way. more earnings with less revenue? no questions about outside forces interested in 8x8 buyout...but recent tech pr's and new ip software points to an ability to create vertical blockchains of productivity. and blockchains are now proof of stake. i wonder if 8x8 was using such for their virtual meetings ip?

Russian missiles into Polanda? Market reverses. 8x8 offers security and privacy of comms, which might be desirable in this climate.

blockchain merge/pos......5 dollars for twitter account?
more for additiional benefits.......like twitter pro? provisioned by jitsi as a service?
add it to google amp/browser and ad/no ad supported streaming. wags.

fuze card, a multi credit card/pass work manager.....hmm.....yah think it might use chat apps? as in multiple chat apps in an app with programmable apis? think it's covered by the singapore security certificate? wags?

cointelegraph.com/news/google-launches-blockchain-node-engine-for-web-3-0-developersAccording to an Oct. 27 announcement, tech-giant Google is launching an in-house Blockchain Node Engine (BNE) based on Google Cloud. As a node-hosting service, BNE enables Web3 companies to relay transactions, deploy smart contracts, and read or write blockchain data directly on Google Cloud. Ethereum will be the first blockchain supported by BNE. As told by Google:

“Today, manually deploying a node is a time-intensive process that involves provisioning a compute instance, installing an Ethereum client, and waiting for the node to sync with the network. [...] Google Cloud’s BNE can make this process faster and easier by allowing developers to deploy a new node with a single operation and specify the desired region and network.”============

note..........relay transactions......ethereum will be the first supported by bne......ethereum merge essential brave browser, which has deal with 8x8 integration. google cloud ai deal with 8x8....oh.......so, bne would seem to be an 8x8 deal and vertical thing with 8x8 network. wags.

About CEO Dave Sipes in his own words (from Linkedin):

I am passionate about leading high-growth companies with disruptive products, and building market-leading organizations.

Most recently, as RingCentral’s Chief Operating Officer, I led product, engineering and go-to-market functions for their 9 global offices and 350K+ customers worldwide. With a robust and talented technology and go-to-market team, we created a world-class customer-first culture, growing the company from $10MM per year to more than $750MM.

Before joining RingCentral, I co-founded and served as COO of Branders.com, the nation’s largest online B2B seller of promotional items. Prior to that, I worked in brand management at PepsiCo and was a principal at Booz Allen Hamilton in their marketing intensive group. In that role, I provided strategic guidance to marketing and media companies such as Heinz Company, Callaway Golf, and Universal Pictures.

I am a frequent speaker at industry events, including Enterprise Connect and Forbes CIO Summit. I hold an MBA with an emphasis on marketing from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, as well as a bachelor’s degree in business from the University of California, Berkeley.

(The bold emphasis was added by me)

Six analysts have updated their price targets for EGHT since the news was announced on 12/10 of the new CEO, Dave Sipes, taking over the reins. The closing price of EGHT was $21.27 on the day before his appointment was announced. They seem to approve of the change.

Options can be dangerous for the novice. My suggestion, if you want to try them, is to pick stocks with major upside potential and buy very long term options. Also, don't put too much of your money into them.

Good luck.
