In 1962, Brendon Grimshaw purchased Moyenne Island in the Seychelles for roughly $11,000. At the time, the small island was completely barren and uninhabited.
Over the following decades, Grimshaw dedicated his life to restoring its ecosystem. He personally planted more than 16,000 trees, created walking trails, and reintroduced endangered species — most notably giant Aldabra tortoises — transforming the once-desolate island into a lush, thriving nature sanctuary.
Despite numerous offers from wealthy developers eager to turn the island into a luxury resort, Grimshaw consistently refused. He famously rejected a $50 million bid, determined to keep Moyenne Island as a protected natural haven open for people to enjoy rather than a private commercial venture.
In 2009, his vision was permanently secured when Moyenne Island was incorporated into the Sainte Anne Marine National Park, becoming the smallest national park in the world.
Grimshaw lived on the island until his death in 2012, leaving behind a remarkable legacy of conservation and environmental stewardship that continues to protect this unique paradise for future generations.
For years, data teams have maintained two separate systems:
- A warehouse for multi-step SQL workflows
- A Lakehouse for analytics and AI
That split means duplicate pipelines, higher TCO, and operational complexity.
Today that changes. Databricks now supports multi-statement, multi-table transactions across Delta and Iceberg, with row-level concurrency and no locks. Combined with Stored Procedures and SQL Scripting, customers can confidently migrate mission-critical warehousing workloads to the lakehouse.
Warehousing, analytics, and AI on one architecture. https://t.co/8tSXWttNeE
Intel Unified Core:
Most of the info is already available. But a new leak confirms most of it and also sheds more light.
It clearly says that Razer Lake's Griffin Cove is the *LAST* Intel P Core. And after that, the P core team is going bye-bye.
And in 2028, Titan Lake is all set to introduce the new Unified Core. The new Unified Core is expected to have higher ppa/ppw/perf. Meaning very compact and efficient and performant.
Evolution: Skymont (2024) -> Arctic Wolf (2026) -> Unified Core (2028) [ignoring minor updates]
PS: Dear Cove, We had a good run... nice knowing you.

@fuboTV@fuboSports@fubosupport How do I get a credit for your terrible service? I can't even watch United vs Everton because of your inability to manage your own contracts. What do I pay you for exactly?
@VenmoSupport why does your service suck so much. I'm trying to split pay with someone and they keep getting "something went wrong, try again in a few minutes" and yes they are verified.
