There's a lot of loose talk about AI-driven warfare and how terrible it will make conflict. Much of it is written by people who don't understand how destructive modern weapons are. This, however, looks like a sea change, especiall

Seems to open up a new variation on "boat hitting whale" accidents only a lot more damaging to the boat. It's already bad for the whale.

Companies in general don't care about winning. They just care about costs as well as focus. What would they gain in return for years of legal bills?

p.s., If anyone wants to argue this point we're doing a conference on open source analytics on November 2. It's called OSA Con and the CFP is here: https://altinity.com/osa-con-2021/ . It's non-partisan a

Thanks for your comment and sorry if I was unclear. I'm not arguing that storage and compute need to be directly coupled. However, storage does need to be very carefully optimized to match compute, especially when you are trying read

This is possibly the coolest cartographic concept I've ever heard of. Humans never cease to amaze.

Lakehouse seems like an evolution of Hadoop to add better SQL and transactions + reasonable performance on large datasets. ("Reasonable" = not dog slow like Hive.) Reading this article as well as the survey Armbrust, Ghodsi et al.

Does this mean you think vaccine records kids show for school are a sacrifice of individual liberty?

Similar experience in my daughter's high school. In her case I think it was a defect of the teacher rather than the method.

Thanks, I need to check that out. It's conceivable that Baudelaire made a few improvements. It's certainly not unheard of. Fitzgerald's translation of Omar Khayyam is by some accounts close to an original work. [0] [0] https

It's kind of like reading anything in translation. Goethe loses a lot in English. Shakespeare in German is the same.

I'm really sorry didn't see your comment earlier. I like your solution but am a little stuck on the limitations. 1.) It requires applications to specify the entire transaction in advance. ACID transactions allow you to begin a tra

There were similar arguments before WW I, but the European nations still went to war. All you need is a situation where the people in charge hate their enemies more than they love their children.

--Fires in California: "That's a strange cloud..." Not making it up, this is exactly what we thought when the Oakland Hills fire of 1991 started. Our confusion was short-lived, I'm sad to say.

It's not the fear of death that is the tell. It's the attempt to fix it through money and technology. What I have read of Jeff Bezos reminds me somewhat of the fictional Walter Faber, the main character in the novel Homo Faber by

One of the responsibilities of being the boss is to avoid alienating customers, employees, or partners. It sounds as if he did all three.

What you suggest would work if you just want to order writes. However, it won't support an ACID transaction model, which a lot of applications expect, or even simpler models where you can read values before you write. For instance: co

In a word the reason MongoDB was and is popular is "objects." Objects are hard to store and retrieve in relational databases, despite countless attempts to make it work. In MongoDB you just pop them into a table and fetch them bac

JSON blob + columns is the recommended approach for handling semi-structured data in ClickHouse. It's easy to add columns on the fly, since you just give the expression to haul out the data using a DEFAULT clause. ClickHouse applies it

This type of misclassification is offensive and for good reason. Similar errors have happened regularly for a long time and in many different systems. [1] The comments about enlarging training sets illustrate the blinders that many techn

Glad you posted. A lot of AI code simply cannot be trusted. In particularly, it's pretty obvious that the teams using it either don't do a lot of QA or don't understand how to test their systems in the first place. I find it

There are lots of opportunities for feisty, multi-client competitors. Cloud providers are not monoliths. The Greylock analysis points this out implicitly by counting the markets they span. You can work with part of Amazon (e.g., EC2) while
