data Artisans has introduced ACID transactions for Apache Flink. This opens up a whole world of new applications for stream processing.

Agree completely.

I addressed a group in Durham today on “An Ethical Framework for #AI,” this is where my head is.AGI is distant but we have to figure out it. If you’re in #ML/AI, grow up and take responsibility for what you’re developing and/or implementing. AI-Now is fraught with ethical issues

Redis has published a benchmark comparing RedisGraph with TigerGraph. It states that for certain queries it is 2X and 0.8X faster. An innovative use of the word "faster". I would like to claim that I am faster than Usain Bolt (though not by as much 0.8)!

Spot on, as usual.

Estimates are that AlphaGo consumed 1 million watts in beating its human opponent. The typical human brain consumes 20 watts. Sort of puts AI into perspective!

Is Hadoop on life support? Serious problems at Mapr and Cloudera, two of their biggest commercial supporters are pointing towards a downward spiral, and the prognosis isn’t great. Bloor Research #MutableBusiness bloorresearch.com/2019/07/hadoop…

Absolutely agree.

Absolutely!

MapR was dying. Its remains have been acquired by HP. Given HP's execrable record with software companies that looks like the kiss of death. Total expiration expected shortly.

What's the problem with low-code? 🤷‍♂️ Despite the strong opposition to it from many developers, you can still write good code while avoiding the more trivial aspects. My blog post for Bloor Research looks at why low-code shouldn't be feared: bloorresearch.com/2019/08/how-i-…
