DuckDB team announced 2025 will be the year of the LakeHouse focus 🥹

DuckCon #6 a few hours away, Pakhuis De Zwijger or live on the @duckdb.org Youtube channel. duckdb.org/events/2025/... Speaker are impressive, looking forward to hear from them, chance to see in person a bunch of GitHub/Discord handles / talk DuckDB a bunch. I will be around, come to say quack!

Extraordinarily detailed article here by @mliebreich.bsky.social - if you're interested at all in the energy impact of AI data center buildouts I recommend spending some time with this, I learned a ton from it

Here's my end-of-year review of things we learned out about LLMs in 2024 - we learned a LOT of things simonwillison.net/2024/Dec/31/... Table of contents:

Hannes keynote at the Forward Data Conference. Really enjoyed his talk, this is for this kind of content that I’ve organised the conf 🔥

DEW published its yearly State of Data Engineering: Key Insights and Trends. This one-edition summary summarizes the key patterns of all DEW editions this year. Later this week, we will follow up on DEW's data engineering prediction for 2025 and beyond. www.dataengineeringw...

I can now run a GPT-4 class model on my laptop (The exact same laptop that could just about run a GPT-3 class model 20 months ago) The new Llama 3.3 70B is a striking example of the huge efficiency gains we've seen in the last two years simonwillison.net/2024/Dec/9/l...

Foursquare places data is live in the hive 🐝 🍯 @hachej.bsky.social @seifert.blue

why are we so addicted to 3 letters when it comes to naming stuff? This week it's MCP

joined STATION F, now I'm a founder (lol)

god i feel empty, no conference to organise anymore 🥹 yesterday was a crazy day after 6 months of work for the Forward Data Conference — so happy of the feedbacks and how it went

Salut Paris! Forward Data Conference is amazing.

Awesome Keynote by @hannes.muehleisen.org about Changing Large Tables at the Forward Data Conference — Iceberg the Duck is coming for you

More than one year ago I dreamt about organizing an in-person conference about data, for data practitioners in France. Tomorrow 350 people will come to attend the first Forward Data in Paris with awesome guests like @hannes.muehleisen.org, @joereis.bsky.social or @jayatillake.bsky.social 🥹

i see the future and it's beautiful

why did we pick #dataBS as tag name — every time my brain read data bullshit

Should we have a KPI as a data team about the coverage of data assets that are governed with code?

Oh @jakthom.bsky.social did it! bluesky data lands on R2, with ~5m latency, partitioned per hour

Everyone is playing with Bluesky firehose right now, is someone dropping it in a s3 bucket somewhere (or in a BigQuery public dataset?) I started to work on this, but got lost in all experiments people are doing

It's will be possible to orchestrate Airflow DAGs directly from BigQuery. Orchestrating means: viewing and triggering. Slowly but surely Google is shifting BigQuery tab to "BigQuery Studio" an all-in-one data platform with the extra. cloud.google.com/bigquery/doc...

How Canva deeply monitor their Snowflake costs — 25PB of storage and 10k dbt models 🙃 www.canva.dev/blog/enginee...

Please just stop saying "just". It happens that incrementally we all added a few words in our daily discussion like "just", "simple", "clean", etc. I loved this blog about the word "just" that should be avoided at max. sgringwe.com/2019/10/10/P...

Snowflake Notebooks are available in GA — still trying to bridge the feature gap with Databricks. It's interesting to see that they released a lot of ipynb Notebooks in the open: github.com/Snowflake-La.... With Iceberg and interoperability everywhere, less diffs will mean an unique winner?

Cursor users using it with dbt, what's your feeling about it?

Cool innovation but wondering if this is something needed

why going Iceberg when you can do DuckDB

hey, how's data going
