Running a machine learning pilot project is a great early step on the road to full adoption. To get started, you’ll need to build a cross-functional team of business analysts, engineers, data scientists and key stakeholders. From there, the process looks a lot like the scientific method taught in school.

Similar at first glance, Cassandra and HBase actually are quite different in terms of architecture, performance and data models. What are these differences and how do they influence the tasks that HBase and Cassandra perform? It’s all here.

Every system — computer or otherwise — needs to deal with possibilities of damage or error. If it does this well, it may be regarded as “robust”, “mature(d), “strengthened”, or simply “improved” * Otherwise, it can reasonably be called “brittle” *It’s also common to use the word “harden(ed)” But I think that’s a poor choice, as brittle things are often also hard. 0.

Investors, whether they be day traders at home or managers of large hedge funds, are data hungry. They pore over earnings reports and company filings and jump to read news alerts. If they’re on the super-sophisticated side, they may be using data models. And if they’re on the cutting edge, they may be using new “alternative” data sets to inform their decisions.

Retailers are focused more than ever on quickly adjusting to changing customer preferences and demand. Specialty’s Café and Bakery is a great example of a retailer that is using data to drive decisions related to product development and selection, inventories, staffing, and more to attract and keep customers. For example, retailers rely on business intelligence (BI) tools to predict future demand for products around known factors such as special events or holidays.

Self-Serve Data Prep Should be Just That – Self-Serve! Self-serve has many meanings. You can pump your own gas, you can serve yourself at a buffet, and sometimes you can even do your own data preparation. You will notice that I said ‘sometimes’ That is because you have to choose the right tool if you want to really participate in self-serve data preparation.

As a concept, Developer Experience (DX) has gained significant attention in the tech industry. It emphasizes engineers’ efficiency and satisfaction during the product development process. As product managers, we need to understand how a good DX can contribute not only to the well-being of our development teams but also to the broader objectives of product success and customer satisfaction.

In my initial post on brittleness I suggested that a typical process is: Build something brittle. Strengthen it over time. In many engineering scenarios, a fuller description could be: Design something that works in the base cases. Anticipate edge cases and sources of error, and design for them too. Implement the design. Discover which edge cases and error sources you failed to consider.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.
