Jensen Huang and @nvidia want $120B in new data infra for agentic AI.

The bottleneck isn't GPUs. It's databases that can't do OLTP and OLAP at the same time.

Thread on why this matters for agent systems ↓

@Regatta_Data this is rad and definitely not "benchmarketing"

[Jim Walker @jaymce]

this is amazing ;)

RegattaDB joins 20B rows across a 50‑node cluster while sustaining 50,000 serializable updates/sec, without indexes or data locality advantages.

A clear look at how OLTP and OLAP can run together in one distributed system.

What if we could pick up a k8s cluster and move it w/out service disruption?

We demo’d this at Kubecon NA 2024 by moving a @kubernetes cluster running @valkey_io from AWS to Azure and then GCP all without disruption! This is pure magic from @pojntfx

@AmericanAir thirty years, executive platinum, nearly 1.5 million miles flown and i'd guess a few million spent and you say "hate to see you go"?

[Jim Walker @jaymce]

if i switched loyalty FROM one airline (@AmericanAir #654EK26) TO another (@united or @Delta ), will the new airline transfer over your current status?

[Jim Walker @jaymce]

@AmericanAir wow, y'all are LOST! i'd suggest reading the original tweet again before you respond. just wow...

It’s “message & position”; rant over

[Jim Walker @jaymce]

Over a year delay on delivery of a @VanMoof bike and then rude customer service when you ask questions. I don’t care how cool your bike is, you may not make it.
