Confessions of a Data Guy
JUNE 20, 2024
After 10 years of Data Engineering work, I think it’s time to hang up the proverbial hat and ride off into the sunset, never to be seen again. I wish. Everything has changed in 10 years, yet nothing has changed in 10 years, how is that even possible? Sometimes I wonder if I’ve learned anything […] The post What I’ve Learned After A Decade Of Data Engineering appeared first on Confessions of a Data Guy.

One of the big challenges in streaming Delta Lake is the inability to handle in-place changes, like updates, deletes, or merges. There is good news, though. With a little bit of effort on your data provider's side, you can process a Delta Lake table as you would process Apache Kafka topics, hence without in-place changes.

We’re introducing parameter vulnerability factor (PVF) , a novel metric for understanding and measuring AI systems’ vulnerability against silent data corruptions (SDCs) in model parameters. PVF can be tailored to different AI models and tasks, adapted to different hardware faults, and even extended to the training phase of AI models. We’re sharing results of our own case studies using PVF to measure the impact of SDCs in model parameters, as well as potential methods of identifying SDCs in model

Recent Snowflake workshops and roundtables have started with the question: “Does your data strategy match your AI ambition?” It certainly sparks customer engagement, but is that the right question to ask? Right now, it seems appropriate with all of the interest — dare I say “hype” — around AI. But it merely reflects the current darling of the tech world, focusing on the technology itself, rather than the ultimate goal.
