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.

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.
Enhanced Enterprise Intelligence with your personal AI Data Copilot.pdfGetInData
Recently we have observed the rise of open-source Large Language Models (LLMs) that are community-driven or developed by the AI market leaders, such as Meta (Llama3), Databricks (DBRX) and Snowflake (Arctic). On the other hand, there is a growth in interest in specialized, carefully fine-tuned yet relatively small models that can efficiently assist programmers in day-to-day tasks. Finally, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures have gained a lot of traction as the preferred approach for LLMs context and prompt augmentation for building conversational SQL data copilots, code copilots and chatbots.
In this presentation, we will show how we built upon these three concepts a robust Data Copilot that can help to democratize access to company data assets and boost performance of everyone working with data platforms.
Why do we need yet another (open-source ) Copilot?
How can we build one?

The Building Blocks of QuestDB, a Time Series Databasejavier ramirez
Talk Delivered at Valencia Codes Meetup 2024-06.
Traditionally, databases have treated timestamps just as another data type. However, when performing real-time analytics, timestamps should be first class citizens and we need rich time semantics to get the most out of our data. We also need to deal with ever growing datasets while keeping performant, which is as fun as it sounds.
It is no wonder time-series databases are now more popular than ever before. Join me in this session to learn about the internal architecture and building blocks of QuestDB, an open source time-series database designed for speed. We will also review a history of some of the changes we have gone over the past two years to deal with late and unordered data, non-blocking writes, read-replicas, or faster batch ingestion.
Natural Language Processing (NLP), RAG and its applications .pptxfkyes25
1. In the realm of Natural Language Processing (NLP), knowledge-intensive tasks such as question answering, fact verification, and open-domain dialogue generation require the integration of vast and up-to-date information. Traditional neural models, though powerful, struggle with encoding all necessary knowledge within their parameters, leading to limitations in generalization and scalability. The paper "Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Knowledge-Intensive NLP Tasks" introduces RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), a novel framework that synergizes retrieval mechanisms with generative models, enhancing performance by dynamically incorporating external knowledge during inference.

(Syllabus for the Value Education Course to be introduced in MTU Colleges/Institutes)
Subject Code-AU-301/AU-401
Course Objective
This introductory course input is intended
a. To help the students appreciate the essential complementarily between ‘VALUES” and ‘SKILLS’ to
ensure sustained happiness and prosperity which are the core aspirations of all human beings.
b. To facilitate the development of a Holistic perspective among students towards life, profession and
happiness, based on a correct understanding of the Human reality and the rest of Existence. Such a
holistic perspective forms the basis of value based living in a natural way.
c. To highlight plausible implications of such a Holistic understanding in terms of ethical human
conduct, trustful and mutually satisfying human behavior and mutually enriching interaction with
nature.
Thus, this course is intended to provide a much needed orientational input in Value Education to the young
enquiring minds.
Course Methodology
• The methodology of this course is universally adaptable, involving a systematic and rational study of
the human being vis-à-vis the rest of existence.
• It is free from any dogma or value prescriptions.
• It is a process of self-investigation and self-exploration and not of giving sermons. Whatever is found
as truth or reality is stated a proposal and the students are facilitated to verify it in their own right
based on their Natural Acceptance and Experiential Validation
• This process of self-exploration takes the form of a dialogue between the teacher and the students to
begin with and within the student himself/herself family.
• This self-exploration also enables them to evaluate their pre-conditionings and present beliefs.

Content for Practice Sessions:
Unit-I
Course Introduction - Need, Basic Guidelines, Content and Process for Value Education
PS 1: Introduction yourself in detail. What are the goals in your life? How do you set your goals in your
life? How do you differentiate between right and wrong? What have been your achievements and
shortcomings in your life? Observe and analyze them.
Expected Outcome: the students start exploring themselves; get comfortable to each other and to the
teacher and start finding the need and relevance for the course.
PS 2: Now a days, there is a lot of voice about many techno-genic maladies such as energy and natural
resource depletion, environment pollution, global warming, ozone depletion, deforestation, soil degradation,
etc. - all these seem to be man-made problems threatening the survival of life on Earth- What is the root
cause of these maladies & what is the way out in your opinion?
On the other hand, there is rapidly growing danger because of nuclear proliferation, arms race,
terrorism, criminalization of politics, large scale corruption, scams, breakdown of relationships, generation
gap, depression & suicidal attempts, etc - what do you thing, is the root cause of these threats to human
happiness and peace - what could be the way out in your opinion?
Expected Outcome: the students start finding that technical education without study of human values can
generate more problems than solutions. They also start feeling that lack of understanding of human values is
the root cause of all problems and the sustained solution could emerge only through understanding of human
values and value based living. Any solution brought fear, temptation or dogma will not be sustainable.
PS 3:
1. Observe that each one of us has Natural Acceptance, based on which one can verify right or not right
for him. Verify this in case of:
(i) What is Naturally Acceptable to you in relationship-Feeling of respect or disrespect?
(ii) What is Naturally Acceptable to you - to nurture or to exploit others?
Is your living the same as your natural acceptance or different?
2. Out of the three basic requirements for fulfillment of your aspirations-right understanding,
relationship and physical facilities, observe how the problems in your family are related to each.
Also observe how much time & effort your devote for each in your daily routine.
Expected Outcome
1. The students are able to see that verification on the basis of natural acceptance and experiential
validation through living is the only way to verify right or wrong, and referring to any external
33. source like text or instrument or nay other person cannot enable them to verify with authenticity; it
will only develop assumptions.
2. The students are able to see that their practice in living is not in harmony with their natural
acceptance most of the time and all they need to do is to refer to their natural acceptance to remove
this disharmony.
3. The students are able to see that lack of right understanding leading to lack of relationship is the
major cause of problems in their family and not the lack of physical facilities in most of the cases,
while they have given higher priority to earning of physical facilities in their life ignoring
relationships and not being aware that right understanding is the most important requirement for any
human being.
Unit-II
Understanding Harmony in the Human Being-Harmony in Myself
PS 4: List down all your desires. Observe whether the desire is related to Self (I) or Body. If it appears to be
related to both, see which part of it is related to Self (I) and which part is related to Body.
Expected Outcome: the students are able to see that they can enlist their desires and the desires are not
vogue. Also they are able to relate their desires to ‘I’ and ‘Body’ distinctly. If any desire appears related to
both, they are able to see that the feeling is related to I while the Physical facility is related to the body. They
are also able to see that ‘I’ and ‘Body’ are two realities , and most of their desires are related to ‘I’ and not
body, while their efforts are mostly centered on the fulfillment of the needs of the body assuming that it will
meet the needs of ‘I’ too.
PS 5:
1. (a) Observe that any physical facility you use, follows the given sequence with time:
Necessary & tasteful-unnecessary & tasteful-unnecessary & tasteless-intolerable
(b) In contrast, observe that any feeling in you is either naturally acceptable or not acceptable at all. If
naturally acceptable, you want it continuously and if not acceptable, you do not want it any moment.
2. List down all your activities. Observe whether the activity is of ‘I’ or of Body or with the
participation of both ‘I’ and Body.
3. Observe the activities within ‘I’. Identify the object of your attention for different moments (over a
period of say 5 to 10 minutes) and draw a line diagram connecting these points. Try to observe the
link between any two nodes.
Expected Outcome:
1. The students are able to see that all physical facilities they use are required for limited time in limited
quantity. Also they are able to see that in case of feelings, they want continuity of the naturally
acceptable feelings and they do not want feelings which are not naturally acceptable even for a single
moment.
2. The students are able to see that activities like understanding, desire, thought and selection are the
activities of ‘I’ only, the activities like breathing, palpitation of different parts of the body are fully
the activities of body with the acceptance of ‘I’ while the activities they do with their sense organs
like hearing through ears, seeing through eyes, sensing through touch, tasting through tongue and
smelling through nose or the activities they do with their work organs like hands, legs etc. are such
activities that require the participation of both ‘I’ and body.
34. 3. The students become aware of their activities of ‘I’ and start finding their focus of attention at
different moments. Also they are able to see that most of their desires are coming from outside
(through preconditioning or sensation) and are not based on their natural acceptance.
PS 6:
1. Chalk out programs to ensure that you are responsible to your body-for the nurturing, protection
and right utilization of the body.
2. Find out the plants and shrubs growing in and around your campus. Find out their use for curing
different diseases.
Expected Outcome: The Students are able to list down activities related to proper upkeep of the body and
practice them in their daily routine. They are also able to appreciate the plants wildly growing in and around
the campus which can be beneficial in curing different diseases
Unit-III
Understanding Harmony in the Family and Society -Harmony in Human-Human Relationship
PS 7: From small groups in the class and in that group initiate dialogue and ask the eight questions related to
trust. The eight questions are:
1 a. Do I want to make myself happy? 1b. Am I able to make myself always happy?
2 a. Do I want to make the other happy? 2b. Am I able to make the other always happy?
3a. Does the other want to make him happy?3b. Is the other able to make him always happy?
4a. Does the other want to make me happy? 4b. Is the other able to make me always happy?
What is the answer? What is the answer?
Intention (Natural Acceptance) Competence
Let each student answer the questions for himself and everyone else. Discuss the difference between
intention and competence. Observe whether you evaluate your intention & competence as well as the others
& competence.
Expected Outcome: The students are able to see that the first four questions are related to our Natural
Acceptance i.e. intention and the next four to our Competence. They are able to note that the intention is
always correct, only competence is lacking! We generally evaluate ourselves on the basis of our intention
and others on the basis of their competence! We seldom look at our competence and others’ intentions as a
result we conclude that I am a good person and other is a bad person.
PS 8:
1. Observe on how many occasions you are respecting your related ones (by doing the right evaluation)
and on how many occasions you are disrespecting by way of under-evaluation, over-evaluation or
otherwise evaluation.
2. Also observe whether your feeling of respect is based on treating the other as yourself or on
differentiations based on body, physical facilities or beliefs.
Expected Outcome: the students are able to see that respect is right evaluation, and only right evaluation
leads to fulfillment in relationship. Many present problem in the society are and outcome of differentiation
(lack of understanding of respect), like gender biasness, generation gap, caste conflicts, class struggle,
dominations through power play, communal violence, clash of isms, and so on so forth. All these problems
can be solved by realizing that the other is like me as he has the same natural acceptance, potential and
35. program to ensure a happy and prosperous life for him and for others though he may have different body,
physical facilities or beliefs.
PS 9:
1. Write a note in the form of story, poem, skit, essay, narration, dialogue to educate a child. Evaluate it
in a group
2. Develop three chapters to introduce ‘social science-its need, scope and content’ in the primary
education of children
Expected Outcome: The students are able to use their creativity for education children. The students are
able to see that they can play a role in providing value education for children. They are able to put in simple
words the issues that are essential to understand for children and comprehensible to them. The students are
able to develop an outline of holistic model for social science and compare it with the exiting model.
Unit-IV
