   What an honest an refreshing perspective! I loved the quote from Donald Knuth: If you find that you’re spending almost all your time on theory, start turning some attention to practical things; it will improve your theories. If you fi

   Wild hypotheses: while GPT-4 is probably not self-aware , you could build a "thin-wrapper" around it that you tell what GPT-4 is, and how it behaves, making it self-aware. self-aware and conscious are strictly speaking not the s

   One large use case is certainly data analysis. But one big challenge with analytics is: you always get a result. Wrong filter, wrong aggregation function, wrong table or wrong join can all still result in plausible but wrong results. Halluc

    We probably stay with the next token prediction task for training the foundation. It generalizes really well. However, transformers are not able to loop. In a fixed amount of computing steps, they need to predict. For long-term planning, we

    Thanks for setting up a limited free version. The UX is great. I had some failures for huggingface and cohere. Replicate produced an output that was not rendered (but returned an answer in the network tab). It would also be great to add: h

    It is fair to critize that some workloads on Snowflake are expensive. What I found however is that Snowflake is indeed super cheap if we look at Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Compared with other cloud data warehouses it is even easy for to

    The question is not _if_ it will be cheaper, but _when_. Gas is a limited resource. We will eventually run out of it, the closer we get to that point the more expensive gas will become. But that point - without political intervention - can

    I really appreciate this perspective. Better tooling to enable individuals to penetrate more layers of abstraction sound great. To some extend e.g. with cloud providers this is already happening. We have more powerful building blocks than e

    Thank you! To give an opinionated position regarding Amundsen: Amundsen is a great open source project with many cool ideas. However, we found that the experience on Snowflake was quite shallow and much more insights and context on data ass

    Thank you for the data point. :) To answer your question: there is multiple parts to it, I am certain they will tackle some parts like search in the future. I don't see them solving lineage or data monitoring anytime soon. Also cross-s

    Thanks for your thoughtful comment and pointing out the video problem! It should be fixed now. Column Level Usage is something we are looking into. We also have some ideas. It seems like a solvable problem but as you said challenging. :)

    Great question. Only because we show technical debt, does not mean it gets solved. We are still learning with our first users how to approach these things. Further down the road I can also see that consultants will find it useful to help th

    We use ArangoDB and are super happy. But I guess it depends on your use case. We operate in the area of 1 million records. Everything is super fast and the ability to also have search, graph and document workloads was most important for us.

    That's like bad small talk. Try to sound smart by repeating the same phrases over and over again. Like bad small talk it's shallow and boring. Still thanks for posting. I found it interesting ;)
