Scaling multimodal workloads ≠ scaling rows of numbers. 🖼️ PDFs, images, video = 💥 OOMs + endless tuning. That’s why we rebuilt Daft’s distributed engine, Flotilla. Here’s what broke, what we built, and what we learned 👇

This integration is extremely valuable; I look forward to it being used by everyone working with multimodal data and models. ❤️
Wow the team at @daftengine cooked! You can now read/write to 🤗Hugging Face with Daft! > DataFrame engine in 🦀 runs distributed and supports multimodal datasets to train/eval models Best part: it's optimized for Xet, the dedupe-based HF storage that makes uploads crazy fast!

Am ashamed that my taxes are funding this genocide.
Israel bombed another school housing Palestinian refugees in Gaza. You can hear children screaming. Western media barely treats these attacks as news anymore.

Even Iceberg is faster with Delta Lake... 🤣 #ApacheIceberg #DeltaLake
Delta UniForm is extremely easy to set up, and once it's enabled it works fast, seamlessly, and automatically! Delta UniForm has negligible performance and resource overhead, ensuring optimal utilization of computational resources. 🔗Learn more: hubs.la/Q02f_W6p0 #oss

Great blog by @andywalner on how a managed data lakehouse gets you to your goals much faster than a DIY approach.

There's that saying that if you "wrote the book on something" you know your stuff. It's not true. You know your stuff when you wrote the thing that someone else wrote the book on. Below is how Kafka actually works by the guy who (more than anyone) actually wrote Kafka!
