As the companies pioneering self-tuning algorithms grow and mature, they increasingly face the challenge of running versus reinventing themselves and not just in the marketing department.
All of our current drugs and treatments were discovered through astute observation of patients, pioneering self-experimentation, ingenuity and advances in technology.

It is a process already being trialled in Lewisham, following in the footsteps of its pioneering self-build homes of the 1970s and 80s, led by DIY timber-framing guru Walter Segal in nearby Honor Oak Park.
Burns now consults for Google's pioneering self-driving car program, and he is confident that some of the technology is only five to ten years away from being mass produced.
It focuses on the specific skills of how to be kinder to yourself as pioneering self-compassion researcher Kristin Neff puts it, treating yourself as you would a good friend who was struggling.
Adler's idea that we can — and should — defend ourselves against the imposed generalities of official knowledge is typical of pioneering self-trackers, and it shows how closely the dream of a quantified self resembles therapeutic ideas of self-actualization, even as its methods are startlingly different.
Yet it's true that Tristano issued scathing judgments of other musicians, and that he maintained a compulsive control over his music, gradually abandoning live performance for the studio, where he could overdub parts — as on his pioneering, self-titled 1956 Atlantic album — and stamp the output with metronomic precision, often using an actual metronome.
To practice self-compassion, try some of the exercises that pioneering self-compassion researcher Kristin Neff, PhD, has studied and written about in her book on self-compassion, such as writing a Self-Compassionate Letter, taking a Self-Compassion Break, or asking yourself: How Would I Treat a Friend?
Among Whitesides' many innovations are the synthesis and molecular organization of new classes of materials, pioneering self-assembled monolayers and microfluidic systems to enable the development of new drugs and extend soft materials into the world of three-dimensional microelectronics, and into consumer devices such as solar cells.
