<rant> Don’t train an LLM on your enterprise structured data. That’s dumb. It’s like memorizing a XLS/DW in a given point of time. Even if you could that would be the most expensive way to do it. We have a great way of doing that today: querying! You are better than that.</rant>

From Zhamak Dehghani keynote at Data Council : “Semantics First”

Oh my, you have no idea how thrilled I am to hear this!

Excited for so many data folks to come to Austin for Data Council this week! Who wants to hang out Monday evening? I'll be at my favorite brewery, Lazarus on Airport Blvd after 8pm for anyone who wants to hang out. First round on me!

How will we know we have hit the top of the AI hype cycle?

🍸🍹🥃 Happy National Cocktail Day, from #catalogandcocktails - cheers to you, make something fancy today! 😄

Next week, Tim Gasper and I will be at Data Council Austin Conference. We will try something different for Catalog & Cocktails Catalog and Cocktails: Honest No-BS Data Podcast podcast: live interview anyone who wants to be interviewed! Wed 4pm.

One question: what's your honest no-bs take of the data world?

The best academic paper rejections I’ve ever received in my life. A weakness:

“The author presents an excess of redundant information. For instance, the term ‘hypothesis’ has been mentioned five times in the paper.”

REALLY… I used the word “hypothesis” 5X & that was excessive?
