The industry is actively working on a broad set of models that can be used for different use-cases. It's commonly accepted that AI models need to be trained near the sources of data. Many businesses are concerned about including their company data into these public modelsMany businesses will want to deploy tuned models and applications in data center, public cloud and edge environments.

Tell us a little bit about your background, and what brought you to create Memphis.DevTopic 2 - Let's start at the beginning. Most folks will want to know why a streaming alternative. Isn't Kafka good enough? What challenges did you personally encounter?Topic 3 - In reviewing the architecture, it mentions differences between a broker and a streaming stack. Can you elaborate on what that means? What components are typically needed for a proper data streaming solution?Topic 4 - One of the common issues with Kafka I hear about is operations complexity over time. It isn't uncommon that the more a system scales, the more complex it is to operate and also maybe the harder it is to get insights and mine for key data for instance. Have you seen this in your experience?Topic 5 - Let's talk use cases. How do you envision organizations using Memphis Cloud? What problems are you trying to solve in the market? Is Memphis Cloud a SaaS offering? How would it be implemented in an organization?Topic 6 - The data management side of all of this to always be problematic. Where and how is the data managed? What does the lifecycle of the data look like and what design considerations went into this aspect?Topic 7 - When building large distributed streaming systems, I'm sure there are trade offs and optimizations of features to consider.

I'm still coming up to speed and I actually spent more time than usual just wrapping my head around the concepts and terms and piecing them all together. What is a feature? Why is it important?

Is this where the term Feature Engineering comes into play? Who turns the data into features and picks the appropriate model? Topic 5 - Early Machine Learning was analytical ML (offline/batch), correct? How is that different from operational ML (online/batch) and real-time ML?Topic 6 - Now that we have all that out of the way. What is a Feature Platform? How does it integrate into an organization's existing Devops workflows and/or CI/CD pipelines?

On this month's episode of Future Tense Fiction, host Maddie Stone talks to Matt Bell about his short story “Empathy Hour.” In the story's climate-change-ravaged future, society's wealthiest are whisked away to luxurious, self-contained cities. Once there, they entertain themselves with a carefully crafted reality show meant to assuage their guilt about the climate refugees they've left behind. But then, someone breaks into their airbrushed world, lifting the lid on what hides underneath it. After the story, Matt and Maddie discuss the promises and pitfalls of climate fiction–and why we want to feel empathy, but never too much. Guest: Matt Bell is the author of several books, including the novel Appleseed, a New York Times Notable Book of 2021. He is a professor of creative writing at Arizona State University.

Jupyter is an amazing environment for exploring data and generating executable reports with Python. But there are many external tools, extensions, and libraries to make it so much better and make you more productive. On this episode, we are going to cover a ton of them. We have Markus Schanta, the maintainer of the awesome-jupyter list on the show and we'll highlight a bunch of Jupyter gems.

Let's talk about your background, and what you focus on at HPE.Topic 2 - HPE is one of the most iconic brands in all of computing history. A lot has evolved over the years. Where does Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) fit into the picture with HP, and what is the HPE focus these days?Topic 3 - For the last 10 years, we've seen a huge growth in the usage of public cloud, but we also heard many industry leaders claim that we're still only around 10% in public cloud. That means we have behavioral expectations changing (on-demand, scalable, etc.) but not necessarily actions changing. How does HPE view their role in the evolution and intersection of IT and the Cloud? Topic 4 - Give us an overview of HPE GreenLake, both in terms of technology and delivery/operations. Topic 5 - HPE GreenLake has a “bring the Cloud to IT” approach. What does that mean in terms of evolving that 90% that hasn't moved to the cloud yet? And will they ever move to the cloud?

Space science is one of the few sciences that can spark wonder and imagining in almost anyone. It also happens to be the domain of Python with many missions, telescopes, and analysis happening with Python playing a major role. On this episode we have Thomas Albin who has worked on several recent space missions. He has created a delightful YouTube channel called Space Science with Python. It's approachable and yet concrete and realistic. We are going to dive into some of his videos and see how Python can model things like astroid fly-bys and render comets in 3D.

No Python announcement of 2022 was met with more fanfare than pyscript. This project, announced at PyCon 2022, allows you to write Python files and run them in your browser in place of JavaScript or even with interactions between Python and JavaScript. There was just one catch: The runtime download was a 9MB WebAssembly file. That made its uses quite limited. On this episode, we dive into some news that might change that calculus. The MicroPython and PyScript folks have been teaming up to get PyScript running in the browser on MicroPython. Yes, that's the embedded chip Python. Here's the good news: MicroPython's WebAssembly is just 300k to download and loads in under 100ms. Now that could unlock some possibilities. We have Brett Cannon, Nicholas Tollervey, and Fabio Pliger on the show to discuss.

Wondering what Mastodon is all about? More importantly, what does it offer Python developers and other open source folks compared to Twitter? There is a huge amount of interest in the tech community about what's happening at Twitter and whether they should expand to or even move to a new location. So I decided to put together a set of experienced Python developers who have been Mastodon inhabitants for a long time to discuss what this unexpected shift means for one of our important online watering holes. On this episode you'll meet Gina Häußge, Simon Willison, and Juan Luis Cano Rodríguez. We're going to have a great time talking about the technology and the culture of Mastodon from this Python perspective.
