Energy Transition: Multi-$trillion Ponzi scheme or the biggest tech market ever?Simon Thompson
Background: The conundrum of the oil price
About $100 billion a year is spent by the 5 biggest global oil companies “finding” more oil. Today $300 billion a year is spent on installing renewables like solar and windpower – almost three times what is spent by those oil companies.
But there is no money spent on “finding” new sun, as we already know where the sun is at its brightest. There is also no money spent finding out where it is windiest because we already know.
Oil company valuation
Value = oil price today X assets in the ground minus cost of getting it out
New formula
Value = oil price today (and in the future) X assets in ground minus cost of getting it out of the ground
If oil falls to $30
Value = 20% of oil worth getting out of the ground –value falls by 80%. With debt = worthless
Stop digging for new oil.
If oil falls to $20
Almost zero oil is worth getting out of the ground
So Oil industry = zero less debt - negative
Oil goes to $20 in 2043...

State of Artificial intelligence Report 2023kuntobimo2016
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a multidisciplinary field of science and engineering whose goal is to create intelligent machines.
We believe that AI will be a force multiplier on technological progress in our increasingly digital, data-driven world. This is because everything around us today, ranging from culture to consumer products, is a product of intelligence.
The State of AI Report is now in its sixth year. Consider this report as a compilation of the most interesting things we’ve seen with a goal of triggering an informed conversation about the state of AI and its implication for the future.
We consider the following key dimensions in our report:
Research: Technology breakthroughs and their capabilities.
Industry: Areas of commercial application for AI and its business impact.
Politics: Regulation of AI, its economic implications and the evolving geopolitics of AI.
Safety: Identifying and mitigating catastrophic risks that highly-capable future AI systems could pose to us.
Predictions: What we believe will happen in the next 12 months and a 2022 performance review to keep us honest.
End-to-end pipeline agility - Berlin Buzzwords 2024Lars Albertsson
We describe how we achieve high change agility in data engineering by eliminating the fear of breaking downstream data pipelines through end-to-end pipeline testing, and by using schema metaprogramming to safely eliminate boilerplate involved in changes that affect whole pipelines.
A quick poll on agility in changing pipelines from end to end indicated a huge span in capabilities. For the question "How long time does it take for all downstream pipelines to be adapted to an upstream change," the median response was 6 months, but some respondents could do it in less than a day. When quantitative data engineering differences between the best and worst are measured, the span is often 100x-1000x, sometimes even more.
A long time ago, we suffered at Spotify from fear of changing pipelines due to not knowing what the impact might be downstream. We made plans for a technical solution to test pipelines end-to-end to mitigate that fear, but the effort failed for cultural reasons. We eventually solved this challenge, but in a different context. In this presentation we will describe how we test full pipelines effectively by manipulating workflow orchestration, which enables us to make changes in pipelines without fear of breaking downstream.
Making schema changes that affect many jobs also involves a lot of toil and boilerplate. Using schema-on-read mitigates some of it, but has drawbacks since it makes it more difficult to detect errors early. We will describe how we have rejected this tradeoff by applying schema metaprogramming, eliminating boilerplate but keeping the protection of static typing, thereby further improving agility to quickly modify data pipelines without fear.

ViewShift: Hassle-free Dynamic Policy Enforcement for Every Data LakeWalaa Eldin Moustafa
Dynamic policy enforcement is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s world where data privacy and compliance is a top priority for companies, individuals, and regulators alike. In these slides, we discuss how LinkedIn implements a powerful dynamic policy enforcement engine, called ViewShift, and integrates it within its data lake. We show the query engine architecture and how catalog implementations can automatically route table resolutions to compliance-enforcing SQL views. Such views have a set of very interesting properties: (1) They are auto-generated from declarative data annotations. (2) They respect user-level consent and preferences (3) They are context-aware, encoding a different set of transformations for different use cases (4) They are portable; while the SQL logic is only implemented in one SQL dialect, it is accessible in all engines.

18. Q&A
A SPEND ANALYTIC REPORT
*Aggregated data in different currencies available upon request
Thank you!
Editor's Notes
This chart here represent how significant Metal Bros Shanghai is as a vendor to our subsidiary, amounting 1/3 of 2022’s total procurement expenditure
We will be seeing this name Metal Bros Shanghai a lot more in the next part of the report
Next, we have a look at materials and vendors.
The Motor IP20 accumulated almost 80% total spent by category across the group. Which makes sense since it is our group’s leading product’s materials
Of which, is dominatingly supplied by Metal Bros Shanghai, at 44%. To put in perspective, come in second, is HH Metal Kft in Hungary with almost 16%
The trend of buying provided by these two charts provided us a peak season between second and third quarter, specifically, in Jul.
Although differs in amount, the trend stays the same between two years.
Here we get to see the spending by vendors and its regions. We see a particular name yet again, Metal Bros Shanghai, leading in supplying us their materials, that is, the Motor IP20.

Correspondingly to vendors, here are spend in EUR by subsidiaries. For a subsidiary that just started, the Danish branch is investing greatly in its production line, making its way to be Europe’s HQ.
It’s worth noticing that ACME Beijing’s procurement far exceeded any other subsidiaries.
It is within expectation since this subsidiary is the Asian’s industry lead.
On to the next section: anomalies!
Some particularly interesting data shown here in terms of quantity of materials. ACME Manufacturing US has ordered approximately 1000 units in 2022, compared to last year.
Almost 4,000% increase! What happened?
I have verified with our data engineer that these numbers are, without being amended, extracted directly from ACME group’s ERP system
There are two possible reasons:1. vendor Cheney Industrials had a huge discount on their product, from average of 330 EUR per unit to 3 EUR per unit, in which case, I commend the team for purchasing an abundant amount of stocks that should last for a long time.
2. However, it’s likely that it’s an input mistake, two mistakes, to be precise, and they canceled each other out. If quantity purchase was 10 units, and PPU is 334 per unit, together they added correctly to the amount spent that is 3.6k USD or 3.3k EUR.
I personally think this is the case, because if we have purchased 1k units, there’s no reason to continue ordering in the next months. Not to mention logistic issues.
Here we can observe how significantly more expensive Shanghai’s vendor’s PPU is, compare to other vendors that supply the same material. Which honestly, shouldn’t happen but since it is not within our investigative scope of work, we are going to leave it at it for the “what’s happening” and focus more on Prescriptive “what can we do” kind of analysis
This is the data that support the previous chart, compliment by quantity supplied to our subsidiaries.
Hypothetically speaking, if we are to supply ACME Beijing with few of these vendors whose PPU are significantly smaller than Shanghai Vendor, what will happen?
I invite you to have a look at the world map’s distribution channels that are currently accessible to ACME subsidiaries
------------------ (after coming back)
By multiplying quantity ordered and average PPU of different vendors in 2021 and 2022, I have came up with very interesting data. It is worth mentioning that I have added a mark up of 15% transportation cost per order, which is in line with industry standard that ACME practices
Here we see the geographical stretch of current distribution channel on a global scale.
In this scenario, I have aggregated an average PPU for 5 particular vendors:
Singapore
Australia
Denmark
Germany
Hungary
Let’s go back to the previous slide
Going forward, with newly obtained information, are the suggested plans and course of actions
I left out Australian vendors to minimize the stretch on human resources spent on negotiating contracts, especially since the saving is significantly less than the other 3
In scenarios that any of the vendors are unavailable due to unforeseen circumstances, it is ideal that we would be able to select other vendor to make sure we constantly have materials for production. A non exclusive, discussed prices with no quantity commitment would serve us best to min-max the situation.
Even though it doesn’t have that big of an impact on a group-scale, it is still a required practice to be precise, especially when audit season is coming. We are lucky this case since it did not skew our data and accounting entries, but going forward, this must not happen, assuming that it’s a human error
