9:17Jude PullenGUEST
So going into a room that is extremely conscious of making money as quickly as possible wasn't necessarily thinking about the gender ratios.
J
9:27Jude PullenGUEST
But, you know, my provocation was that essentially when you look at the statistics around, you know, you know, young women going through school.
J
9:37Jude PullenGUEST
Now they've sort of taken the first place of not just, you know, it used to be that maths was the outlier that, you know, boys still had the edge on that.
95. The tech that could end overpackaged boxes, with Jude Pullen
J
24:47Jude PullenGUEST
Well, I think, I think sort of, you know, obviously for the supply chain heads, they'll have already guessed this, but, you know, having worked in these sorts of jobs growing up myself, it's, it's always a bit of a sort of, you know, two-way street, right? So you're gonna have a person working at a packing station, they're gonna have a load of different sized boxes all flat packed, and they gotta make them up, or if not, a machine makes them up.
J
25:10Jude PullenGUEST
At some point you're gonna look at a box and go, "Ooh, that might be a bit of a tight fit, and I'm gonna feel a bit of a Charlie and waste time if I build something and find it too small." So to, as your point, Robbie, you err on the side of caution.

25:24Jude PullenGUEST
And there was, there was actually a rather perfect example when ordering the Jetson Nano, which is the little bit of hardware.
J
25:32Jude PullenGUEST
RS doesn't mind me shaming them slightly [laughs] but, but it actually came in a box that was, like, too big, and the next size box down, genuinely it did fit, but it had 1.5 millimeters clearance.
J
25:45Jude PullenGUEST
Now, no human would be able to just eyeball 1.5 millimeters and be like, "Yeah, that's gonna fit," right? And so this is a 200 plus, you know, with some peripherals, bit of kit.
21 MINS LATER
R
46:26That didn't work," uh, and, and to correct it? So to, to what degree, I suppose, is it, is it self-learning versus having to be managed by a human now that you've got it up and running?
