The ocean depths are home to many strange and unique creatures that have adapted to the extreme pressures and lack of light. Bioluminescent organisms that produce their own light are common, as vision is limited in the deep sea darkness. Some deep sea fish have transparent heads or anglerfish that dangle bioluminescent lures to attract prey in the inky black environment over a mile below the surface.

Leonard Cohen's song "Who by Fire" explores the question of how one will face death and judgment. The song poses the question "who shall I say is calling?" when one faces God after death, contemplating whether their life was spent on holy or sinful acts. It uses vivid biblical imagery and a haunting melody to reflect on facing mortality and coming before the divine for judgment.

NexGen has discovered high-grade uranium mineralization at its Arrow discovery in the Athabasca Basin. Arrow has a current mineralized area of 645m x 215m and a depth of 100m to 920m. Drilling has intersected mineralization in over 90% of drill holes, expanding two high-grade shears known as A2 and A3. A2 has tripled in strike length and both shears remain open in all directions. NexGen has also discovered mineralization at Bow, 3.7km from Arrow. The project is located on land along major conductor corridors prospective for additional discoveries.

This document discusses the need to incorporate perception-based analysis into architectural pedagogy and methods of analyzing environmental sustainability and spatial waste in urban areas. It argues that current approaches to analysis focus too heavily on abstract tools like maps, drawings and energy calculations, without adequately considering how people experience and perceive space. To better address spatial waste and opportunities for adaptive reuse, architects must develop skills in complex perceptual analysis to engage with intangible layers of space. This requires revising architectural education and training to complement established analytical tools with experiential understanding of how people interact with and transform spaces into places over time.
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.

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.

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.
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.
