Data pipelines are the backbone of Artificial Intelligence and analytics use cases. In modern cloud architectures, such as the lakehouse, raw data in object storage is refined and transformed in a DAG, as practitioners turn raw datasets into cleaned ones for downstream models.

How I detect anomalies in social Media volumes: A Residual-Based Approach…In this article, we’ll explore a residual-based approach for detecting anomalies in social media volume time series data, using a real-world example from Twitter.

My main background is a hedge fund professional, so I deal with finance data all the time and so far the Pandas library has been an indispensable tool in my workflow and my most used Python library. Then came along Polars (written in Rust, btw!) which shook the ground of Python ecosystem due to its speed and efficiency

Randomly generated gradients were an essential element of OpenAI’s early visual identity, designed by Ben Barry in 2017. His earliest generator randomly picked four corner colors and interpolated between them.

AI News:

OpenAI has given a North Carolina University funding for a research project to build and train AI algorithms that can understand, precinct, and make human-like moral judgments and decisions in conflict-heavy situations in areas like health, law, and business.

OpenAI has awarded several professors at Duke University $1M in grant funding—spread out over three years—to complete a project (titled Research AI Morality), which studies the “making of moral AI.”

Amazon invests $4 billion more in Anthropic, making its role in AI development even stronger. Amazon has now invested a total of $8 billion in Anthropic, making AWS their main partner. The partnership will use AWS Trainium chips to help with AI, competing against Nvidia in the cloud.

Anthropic's Claude models are already used by big AWS clients like Pfizer and the European Parliament.

Jamie Dimon says AI could make it possible for people to work only 3.5 days a week and live up to 100 years old. AI will help improve work-life balance by taking over tasks and boosting productivity at JPMorgan.

A small AI-powered robot named Erbai staged an unexpected ‘kidnapping’ at a Shanghai robotics showroom, convincing 12 other larger robots to abandon their posts and leave the facility after persuading them through a natural language conversation.

Runway launches Expand Video, letting users transform simple clips into cinematic shots. The feature supports text prompts, guiding images, and can be used for creative zooms and reveals.
