We talk about what's happening in Data & AI every week (well, most weeks). No buzzword bingo or marketing fluff—just honest conversations about the tech that's changing everything. Sometimes we go off on weird tangents about programming languages, tech/startup life, or whatever shiny object caught our attention. Whether you're knee-deep in code or just curious about AI, come hang out with us!

Apple ‘Illusion of Thinking’ Debate, DuckLake Lakehouse & Magistral AI

Épisode 2

vendredi 13 juin 2025 • Durée 01:08:52

Welcome to Episode 2!

We'd love to hear your feedback ❤️

DuckLake: SQL as a Lakehouse Format | DuckDB Blog (May 27 2025)
DuckDB’s new DuckLake format proposes shifting all lakehouse metadata into a regular SQL database so open-format data lakes can gain true transactional speed and simplicity. “DuckLake re-imagines what a ‘Lakehouse’ format should look like,” the authors write, arguing it eliminates the maze of JSON files and external catalog services. If adopted, DuckLake could let organizations treat Parquet-backed blob storage like a fast, ACID-compliant warehouse without vendor lock-in. (duckdb.org)

Magistral | Mistral AI (Jun 10 2025)
Mistral AI has unveiled Magistral, its first reasoning-centric language model, releasing a 24-billion-parameter open version alongside a more powerful enterprise tier. As the company puts it, “Magistral is designed to think things through — in ways familiar to us,” offering transparent, multilingual chain-of-thought and 10× faster replies in Le Chat. By open-sourcing the small model and touting competitive benchmarks, Mistral positions itself as a nimble challenger to the big LLM providers. (mistral.ai)

The hidden time bomb in the tax code that's fueling mass tech layoffs | Quartz
A little-noticed tweak to U.S. tax code Section 174 that took effect in 2022 made R&D costs dramatically more expensive, quietly spurring hundreds of thousands of tech layoffs. One startled executive admitted, “I work on these tax write-offs and still hadn’t heard about this,” underscoring how the change blindsided companies large and small. With repeal efforts now winding through Congress, the episode shows how obscure fiscal fine print can ripple through innovation hubs and local economies alike. (qz.com)

Where we’re headed with the dbt Fusion engine | dbt Labs (May 28 2025)Founder Tristan Handy lays out how the freshly launched Fusion engine—a complete rewrite of dbt Core—will speed parsing 30-fold, enable local execution, and one-day transpile SQL across data platforms. “Today, we launched the dbt Fusion engine, a complete rewrite of dbt from the ground up,” he explains, framing the overhaul as essential for scale. The roadmap suggests dbt could slash warehouse costs and free teams from vendor lock-in, marking a bold shift from incremental tweaks to deep platform bets. ()
