Yep, 20+ year learning based on 10.000+ years of wisdom taught from generation to generation. People take both things for granted when comparing humans with "AIs".

Fair enough, I'm just talking from the perspective of a SQL analyst who could use both Teradata and Databricks at work. Teradata was faster with no user-facing tuning vs tuned Databricks. And if you can pay for Teradata you may as well

In BQ you can query data as an external table with Hive Partioning. No need for duplication and extremely useful for consuming "Landing Zones" in a Datalake. Pretty similar as defining a Hive Table and then using any other engine

BigQuery/Snowflake can process Parquet and multiple other formats in Object Storage. You can use them more "freely" if you keep your raw data in open formats. You need something more complicated than what can be done using Bi

I've seen and have compared Databricks clusters to a 10-15yo Teradata cluster and no way in hell I would use Databricks. Teradata is a lot faster for interactive workloads than Databricks. PS: I agree there's no comparing on Datab

What is "Real science"? May you're thinking something that follows a specific method or satisfies some specific requirements. If you want to challenge that view, see this: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries&#x

Considering it's not native I would say it is still pretty impressive. And hopefully at the speed these developments are being made right now it is just a matter of time until we get that plug and play experience we are all hoping for

No flaw with math/stats here, that can actually happen. I think you're confusing average/mean with median (50-percentile). PS: I'm not sure where he's getting his numbers though
