Highly recommend this write-up by @rxin on Lakebase/LTAP. Informative, with good detail about how it’s differentiated, but still accessible.

It was a blog like this, when Reynold, @alighodsi, and team unveiled the Lakehouse that helped convince me on Databricks. So you never know, it might just change your life

[Ali Ghodsi @alighodsi]

My co-founder @rxin personally wrote this really good paper that explains the main idea behind postgres Lakebase as well as LTAP. It almost serves as a primer on how transactional databases are built and how Lakebase and LTAP work. Maybe more importantly, what are the tradeoffs, and what are you giving up by adopting this new approach. Highly recommended reading:

USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.

Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.

I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."

"They just come with the table, man."

They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.

This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.

I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.

"Did we…?"

"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."

Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.

My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."

Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.

I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.

Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.

I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.

Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

Berkeley math professor:

“Today, the more successful a public high school is at preparing its students, the lower its graduates' chances of getting into top UC campuses like Berkeley and San Diego.”

Berkeley admitted 45% of applicants from a high school where nearly 94% of “students failed to meet the state standards in mathematics.”

It admitted less than 14% of applicants from a school where “nearly 100 percent of its students in AP Calculus BC pass the national exam with a perfect score of 5.”

I know Paraguay, homefield, etc. but that was literally the best half of World Cup soccer for the USMNT in 96 years.

@buckeyes021424 @DakHOF @PlutoCooked what drives me crazy to this day is they could have stayed at 12, took Parsons, then could have kept the two first rounders the next two years.

Databricks enters cybersecurity... with Anthropic's models inside.

The company that stores data now wants to secure it too. The incumbents prepared for AI entering the market.... less clear they're prepared for the data vendor thats already inside the building

Sitting down w Databricks CEO @alighodsi today around 10:30a PT

This is so tacky. I hate seeing any kind of military action be trivialized like this.

@M1cr0mach1ne @NjTank99 Joe’s got it. More innings could hypothetically lower the defensive quotient. I’ve spent way too much time reading up on tiebreaker rules for WBC
