Open source entity resolution, data matching and deduplication

@peyushbansal totally disappointed

[Sonal Goyal @sonalgoyal]

@lenskart such a disappointment. New glasses unusable due to heavy blue coating. Refund goes to gift card which is of no use. Store recommendation - wear it for 5 days and it will automatically get transparent 🤨 What a weird way to treat a life long customer.

It is extraordinary that India, still a relatively poor country, can achieve something as selfless as protecting other creatures. We explain how it became remarkably good at animal conservation https://t.co/TP0ik9s4AT

@GergelyOrosz What’s the merge rate?

[Sonal Goyal @sonalgoyal]

@jsensarma oh yeah, another point of failure.

[Sonal Goyal @sonalgoyal]

Great stuff

Engineering work has changed. Engineering interviews should change with it.

AI should be part of the interview - alongside fundamentals, system design, evaluation, and production judgment. Here are a few thoughts on what I would measure now. https://t.co/3QjIYXcK4e

Which party is promising this ? Any takers?

[Sonal Goyal @sonalgoyal]

Returned from a few days abroad and really wish we could plan for lesser cars, more public transport and footpaths for walking in India. Lesser pollution, lower fuel import, better accessibility, healthier citizens. Metros alone can’t do this everywhere. @Cockroachisback

[Sonal Goyal @sonalgoyal]

Why do we have so many cars on our roads when majority can ill afford them?

[Sonal Goyal @sonalgoyal]

Where are the buses?

@bhalligan @alighodsi @databricks We all are brilliant in our own ways Brian. Thanks for some insider stuff and the great conversation

@AshutoshRanka @madandilawar @BhajanlalBjp @AmitShah great job @AshutoshRanka and the children team!

Legacy MDM forces source systems to adapt to rigid schemas and forces golden records instead of the other way around. AI shouldn't just consume mastered data downstream; it belongs inside the mastering process itself.

Legacy data tools feel like duct tape on a sinking ship. Manual deduplication. Single-domain fixes. Complex spreadsheets.

[Zingg @zinggoss]

A one-time entity resolution run works for reports, not businesses. Zingg's incremental resolution updates only what's changed, preserving IDs, so your entity graph stays current without breaking downstream systems.

Imagine you get All India Rank 1 in the IIT-JEE.

Then you do something even crazier - You turn down Computer Science. Instead, you pick a five-year MSc in Physics at @IITKanpur

That was Rajesh Gopakumar, AIR 1 in JEE 1987.

He went to @Princeton for his PhD, under a man who'd later win the Nobel. He co-created what physicists now call the Gopakumar-Vafa invariants, a piece of math sitting inside string theory.

In 2001, he came home to build a theoretical physics institute in Bengaluru, which he runs today.

Man truly lives on his own terms
