Mistral ( credits ) Hello all, this is the Data News, this week edition might be smaller than usual in term of comments as I'm working on a Data News related project that takes me a bit of time, which will probably lead to a series of articles. Before I forget I've appeared on The Joe Reis Show , we chatted with Joe about data engineering teaching, why it is hard and about generative AI that will change education for ever.

Recently an Architecture at Databricks recommended people use Notebooks for Production workloads. Very bad and horrible idea. Very expensive compute for most people (All Purpose Clusters) and it leads to horrible development practices. It set off a firestorm on Linkedin when I commented people SHOULD NOT follow this advice.

As Large Language Models are revolutionizing natural language prompts, Large Vision Models (LVMs) represent another new, exciting frontier for AI. An estimated 90% of the world’s data is unstructured, much of it in the form of visual content such as images and videos. Insights from analyzing this visual data can open up powerful new use cases that significantly boost productivity and efficiency, but enterprises need sophisticated computer vision technologies to achieve this.

Three years ago, a blog post introduced destination-passing style (DPS) programming in Haskell, focusing on array processing, for which the API was made safe thanks to Linear Haskell. Today, I’ll present a slightly different API to manipulate arbitrary data types in a DPS fashion, and show why it can be useful for some parts of your programs. The present blog post is mostly based on my recent paper Destination-passing style programming: a Haskell implementation , published at JFLA 2024.

Because human-machine interaction using natural language is now possible with large language models (LLMs), more data teams and developers can bring AI to their daily workflows. To do this efficiently and securely, teams must decide how they want to combine the knowledge of pre-trained LLMs with their organization’s private enterprise data in order to deal with the hallucinations (that is, incorrect responses) that LLMs can generate due to the fact that they’ve only been trained on data availabl
