Die Welt ist eine Scheibe! Nein, wir sind keine Flat-Earth-Verschwörungstheoretiker und auch nicht verrückt geworden. Was es damit auf sich hat, klären wir nach den Space News, in dem wir über die famose CSA/ESA-Weltraummission SMILE sprechen, die auf einer Vega C-Rakete am 19. Mai gestartet ist und auf der viel Wissen und Technik vom Grazer Institut für Weltraumforschung steckt. SMILE erforscht, was die Teilchen des Sonnenwindes mit dem Magnetfeld, der von geladenen Teilchen erfüllten Ionosphäre und mit der Atmosphäre der Erde anstellt. Neben schönen Polarlichtern können dabei nämlich ziemlich zerstörerische geomagnetische Stürme entstehen. Zu dieser Mission gibt es übrigens neben einem Infopaket auch ein cooles Comic (auf Englisch), das die ESA erstellt hat. Im Hauptthema zeigen wir, dass unsere Welt flach ist! Nein, nicht die Erde, denn eine Flacherde würde aufgrund der Schwerkraft augenblicklich in sich zusammenfallen und eine glutflüssige Kugel bilden. Aber unsere Galaxie, die Milchstraße, ist eigentlich eine sehr flache Scheibe aus Sternen, Gas, Staub und einem schwarzen Loch in der Mitte. Unsere Galaxie ist umgeben von einem kugelförmigen Halo, in dem sich Kugelsternhaufen befinden, und dem zirkumgalaktischen Medium aus sehr dünn verteiltem Gas, das trotzdem im Summe deutlich mehr wiegt als alles an Gas, Staub und Sternen innerhalb unserer Galaxienscheibe. Unsere Milchstraße ist wie alle Galaxien eine Kannibalin und hat sich im Laufe ihres Daseins schon einige kleinere Galaxien einverleibt. Dabei entstanden schräg durch die Galaxienscheibe laufende Sternströme wie z.B. die Gaia Enceladus Sausage, die mit Hilfe von Daten der europäischen GAIA-Weltraummission gefunden werden konnten. Bei solchen Galaxienkollisionen stoßen zwar nicht die Sterne und Planeten der Welteninseln zusammen (dazu ist der Weltraum viel zu leer), aber sehr wohl die Gas- und Staubmassen der Galaxien, und es kommt zu so genannten Starbursts, zur Entstehung sehr vieler Sterne. Alle Sterne der Milchstraße drehen sich um das Zentrum unserer Galaxie – aber die Spiralarme drehen sich kurioserweise nicht mit, wie diese Animation sehr schön veranschaulicht. In den Spiralarmen ist das Meiste an Gas und Staub konzentriert, dort entstehen auch die jungen, großen, hellen Sterne, die nicht lange genug leben, um die Spiralarme verlassen zu können. Darum leuchten in allen Spiralgalaxien diese Arme besonders hell. Wenn zwei gleich große Spiralgalaxien zusammenstoßen (wie es unserer Milchstraße in einigen Milliarden Jahren mit der Andromedagalaxie ergehen wird), dann durchmischen sich die beiden zu einer so genannten Elliptischen Galaxie, und der Starburst braucht die gesamten Vorräte an Gas und Staub auf. Darum entstehen in den ellipischen Galaxien danach keine neuen Sterne mehr. Als allerletztes stoßen dann die beiden schwarzen Löcher zusammen und vereinigen sich. Das kann sehr lange dauern, und vermutlich kreist auch noch zumindest ein schwarzes Loch einer verspeisten Kleingalaxie rund um Sagittarius A*, dem Black Hole unserer eigenen Milchstraße. Nicht nur die Galaxie ist flach, sondern auch unserer Planetensystem – alle Planeten kreisen in der gleichen Ebene um die Sonne, auf der so genannten Ekliptik. Das ergibt sich zwangsweise, weil Planetensysteme aus einer rotierenden Scheibe aus Gas und Staub entstehen, die durch die Fliehkräfte quasi automatisch zu einer dünnen Scheibe wird. Im Astrolexikon wenden wir uns dann der Frage zu, was genau eigentlich ein Stern ist.

The Milky Way Galaxy is home to a few hundred billion stars. And on average, it gives birth to a couple of Sun’s-worth of stars every year. But a much smaller galaxy about 12 million light-years away puts the Milky Way to shame. It is spawning about 10 times as many stars per year. Like the Milky Way, Messier 82 is a thin disk, with spiral arms wrapping around a dense core. It’s less than half the size of the Milky Way. M82 is a starburst galaxy. It had a close encounter with another galaxy within the past hundred million years or so. That caused huge clouds of gas and dust to collapse, triggering the starbirth. The new stars are concentrated in the center of the galaxy, where astronomers have cataloged more than a hundred super star clusters. Each one contains hundreds of thousands of stars. Many of the stars are especially hot and massive, which makes the clusters especially bright. A strong “wind” of hot gas races away from that region. It squeezes the surrounding clouds, giving birth to more stars. But within another hundred million years, all the gas and dust will have been used up. Then, M82 will settle down to the same quiet life as the Milky Way. M82 is in Ursa Major. As night falls, it dangles below the upside-down bowl of the Big Dipper. It’s an easy target for small telescopes. We see it edge-on, so it looks like a small, bright slash. Script by Damond Benningfield

I have a 5 Starburst a day habit, I need an intervention. Wrap up on the Buffalo trip. There's a Django/Zorro team up movie announced, but they'll probably fuck it up. End of the line for Misfits (as far as these people are involved, anyway). I started a new job, and the transition has been rough, to say the least. I gave money to a homeless person for the first time in years, but the reason will shock you. (Possibly even pick you up and drop you) I went to see Eric Rocha in Ventura and was miserable, and I also went to see Normal, the new Bob Odenkirk movie. (And basically was also miserable)

Podcast: Don't Panic It's Just Data!Guest: Adrian Estala, VP, Field Chief Data & AI Officer, StarburstHost: Doug Laney, Research & Advisory Fellow at BARC and Author of Infonomics & Data JuiceAfter years of heavy investment in data lakes and warehouses, many enterprises still face a frustrating reality. Insights continue to remain slow, fragmented, and hard to trust.In the recent episode of the Don't Panic It's Just Data podcast, host Doug Laney, Research & Advisory Fellow at BARC and Author of Infonomics & Data Juice, is joined by Adrian Estala, VP, Field Chief Data & AI Officer at Starburst. They sat down to discuss why more enterprises are adopting a new architectural approach, the business semantic layer, to speed up AI adoption.What's the Core Issue in AI Data Enterprise?The core issue, Estala argues, is not a lack of infrastructure but an inconsistency between how data is organised and how enterprises think. “No one's really there yet,” he says, reflecting on a decade of backend optimisation. “We don't know what ‘perfect' architecture means, especially in the AI age.”The semantic layer, sometimes called a “context layer,” represents a shift from technical complexity to business usability. Typically, the system requires non-technical users to interpret schemas and pipelines; however, Starburst provides an abstraction that shows data in familiar business terms, along with metadata and governance rules.“If you build it right,” Estala explains, “when a CFO walks in the room and sees their semantic layer, it makes sense to them.”For an enterprise, this is more than just a usability improvement. It reduces duplication, eliminates conflicting metrics, and reduces reliance on IT teams for routine analysis. As Laney notes during the discussion, the goal is not to replace existing systems but to make them “that much more accessible” by layering business meaning on top.Also Watch: AI Is Replacing BI — Here's What CIOs Need to KnowSovereignty, Governance & the European RealityThe conversation is even more acute in regions like Europe, where data sovereignty has become a major concern. Regulatory pressure has led enterprises to rethink not only where data is stored but also how it is accessed and shared.Estala describes a federated model where data stays within national boundaries while still being usable globally. Organisations set up local clusters in countries like Switzerland or the United Kingdom, build data products locally, and apply strict rules for what can be shared centrally.“I can decide which data products are approved to be shared,” he says, alluding to compliance mechanisms that ensure sensitive information cannot be traced back to individuals.This creates a system that satisfies both regulators and business leaders. Executives no longer need to worry about jurisdictional complexities; they work with a unified view of data that has already been filtered, governed, and approved. “For them, it just feels like it's already been brought together,” Estala adds.As AI agents and copilots continue to gain popularity, the discussion also spotlights limitations. One such limitation is trust. Without confidence in the underlying data, even the most advanced AI tools struggle to provide meaningful value.“If they don't trust the answers, it's just a cool toy,” Estala says, describing a common pattern where initial excitement fades once users doubt the reliability of outputs.The semantic layer also tackles this discrepancy by embedding governance, lineage, and business rules directly into data products. Starburst helps enterprises clearly define which data is exposed to AI systems and under what conditions, making it easier to explain and justify decisions.Currently, Estala observes, AI mainly speeds up existing workflows instead of transforming them. Executives are asking the same questions they always have, but getting answers faster and from broader datasets. The real change, he suggests, will come when trust allows leaders to ask entirely new questions and rethink decision-making.How to Drive Business Value in 90 Days?For CIOs and CDOs eager to move past experimentation, the Chief Data and AI officer outlines a focused, business-led approach. Rather than launching large-scale transformations, he suggests starting with a single domain and building momentum from there.The first phase focuses on collaboration, bringing business stakeholders into the design of the semantic layer and defining the data products that are most important. “We design it with the business team in the room,” he explains, stressing ownership from the start.The next stage shifts to enablement, as teams begin to use and expand these data products themselves. This is where self-service takes root, reducing dependence on IT and promoting more exploratory use of data.By the final phase, enterprises are ready to introduce AI agents on top of a trusted foundation. At that stage, technology becomes almost secondary. “Once you get to a semantic layer that you trust, adding an agent is easy,” Estala says.As enterprises continue to adopt AI at larger scales, their competitive edge will come from algorithms and from how effectively they organise, govern, and contextualise their data. In this sense, the semantic layer is quickly becoming the backbone of modern, AI-driven decision-making.Key TakeawaysSemantic layers make governed data accessible for enterprise AI.Data sovereignty drives federated, compliant data architectures.Trusted AI needs governed, metadata-rich data products.Semantic layers deliver business value within 90 days.Virtual layers reduce duplication and speed up analytics.Chapters00:00 The Shift to Business Semantic Layers08:02 Data Sovereignty and Governance in Modern Strategies13:08 Foundational Capabilities for AI Systems18:11 AI Agents and Decision Making23:04 Practical Steps for Implementing Semantic LayersTo learn more about how data products and AI agents are changing enterprise analytics, follow:Starburst LinkedIn: @StarburstStarburst X: @starburstdataStarburst YouTube: @StarburstDataEM360Tech YouTube: @enterprisemanagement360EM360Tech LinkedIn: @EM360TechEM360Tech X: @EM360TechFollow: @EM360Tech on YouTube, LinkedIn and XStay connected for more expert insights, podcast episodes, and enterprise data strategy discussions.#SemanticLayer, #DataGovernance, #EnterpriseAI, #DataStrategy, #DataArchitecture, #AIatScale, #Compliance, #DataSovereignty, #ContextLayer, #AIagents, #DataProducts, #SelfServiceAnalytics, #CIO, #CDO, #Starburst, #AdrianEstala, #DougLaney, #DontPanicItsJustData, #EM360Tech, #TechPodcast

Podcast: Don't Panic! It's Just DataGuest: Adrian Estala, VP, Field Chief Data & AI Officer, StarburstHost: Shubhangi Dua, Podcast Producer, Host and B2B Tech Journalist, EM360Tech"AI is replacing BI,” stated Adrian Estala, VP and Field Chief Data & AI Officer at Starburst.When Shubhangi Dua, host of Don't Panic, It's Just Data, put the statement back to Estala, the tension was intentional. In enterprise tech, few systems are as ingrained as business intelligence (BI) dashboards. For two decades, they have been the common language of decision-making – static reports, polished charts, and visuals that meet compliance standards.However, Estala insists that the change isn't about removing dashboards. It's about staying relevant. “BI isn't going away,” he explains. “It's evolving.”How AI is replacing BI?A transformation to AI begins with something deceptively simple – a business semantic layer. Instead of forcing executives to understand data through IT-designed schemas, enterprises are creating context-rich data products using business language. A CFO sees finance terms, not table joins. A loans team sees portfolios, not pipelines.Once this foundation is established, teams can plug the same governed, reusable data product into their business intelligene (BI) tools. This leads to improved performance and consistency rises too.However, the growth doesn't stop here; businesses typically ask for more. When a conversational agent is added next to a legacy dashboard, using the same trusted data product, the behaviour changes quickly. Leaders start asking questions in natural language, exploring trends they have never charted before. They make forecasts in seconds and adjust their thinking while on the go.What was once a static reporting experience transforms into an interactive analytical dialogue. In one major bank, Estala recalls, a CEO challenged himself to avoid opening a dashboard for two weeks. He didn't need to; the agent managed everything for him.Also Watch: Are You Scaling Intelligence — or Just Scaling Errors?TakeawaysAI is replacing BI, but it's more about evolution than replacement.Organisations are moving towards data products for better analytics.Engaging business teams early is crucial for successful AI implementation.Conversational agents are transforming how teams interact with data.Data quality and governance are essential in the transition to AI.Business semantic layers help bridge the gap between IT and business needs.Organisations can achieve significant impact with AI in a short time.Don't wait for perfect architecture; start with a Pathfinder approach.Business teams can drive innovation when they understand their data.The future of data engagement lies in combining AI with traditional BI tools.Chapters00:00 The Evolution of BI to AI03:11 Understanding AI's Role in Business Intelligence14:44 Navigating the Transition to AI20:03 Ensuring Data Quality and Governance24:44 The Future of Data EngagementTo learn more about how data products and AI agents are changing enterprise analytics, follow:Starburst LinkedIn: @StarburstStarburst X: @starburstdataStarburst YouTube: @StarburstDataEM360Tech YouTube: @enterprisemanagement360EM360Tech LinkedIn: @EM360TechEM360Tech X: @EM360TechFollow: @EM360Tech on YouTube, LinkedIn and XStay connected for more expert insights, podcast episodes, and enterprise data strategy discussions.#AI #BI #AIvsBI #AIAgents #BusinessIntelligence #DataProducts #EnterpriseAnalytics #DataStrategy #Starburst #DontPanicItsJustData #AdrianEstala #ShubhangiDua #SemanticLayer #CIO #CDO #TechPodcast #DataGovernance #Dashboards

Salespeople who swear on their calls close 8% more deals. Marketing teams using pink and purple instead of "Series A Blues" get more attention. Companies that avoid pissing anyone off end up exciting no one. In this episode, we sit down with Udi Ledergor, Chief Evangelist and former CMO at Gong, to unpack the psychology behind courageous marketing, the real impact of AI on sales teams, and why being different beats being better every single time. Udi reveals how Gong built one of the most recognizable brands in B2B by rejecting best practices, embracing controversy, and creating a culture where teams feel safe to fail. From the drooling bulldog mascot that made enterprise customers angry, to the viral research on swearing in sales calls, to the plain-text email that generated 700 event registrations in hours—this is a masterclass in standing out in a sea of sameness. We also dive deep into AI: what it can actually do right now, what it can't, and why the creators of ChatGPT don't use ChatGPT to run their revenue teams. Spoiler: AI isn't coming for your job. But salespeople who know how to use AI are coming for the jobs of those who don't. What You'll Learn: Why swearing on sales calls increases win rates by 8% The danger of "best practices" and why boring is the biggest risk in B2B marketing How to build a brand that polarizes—without crossing the line The two buckets of AI: what it can automate vs. what it can guide you on Why OpenAI and Anthropic use Gong to run their revenue teams (and what that tells you about generic LLMs) The plain-text email experiment that got 700 event sign-ups in hours How to create psychological safety on your team so they take risks and do their best work Why indifference is worse than hate when it comes to your messaging From privacy policy emails that went viral, to bulldogs on login screens, to the Starburst logo that refused to fit neatly into a square, this episode will change how you think about marketing, sales, and standing out in 2026. If your brand feels invisible, your messaging feels safe, or your team feels stuck playing by the rules everyone else is playing by, this conversation will give you permission to break free.

Today, we are sitting down discussing a novel off of Sam's TBR called Conform! This novel made one of us feel nostalgic for the best reasons. Although one of us was completely lost with what was happening. Almost as lost as Sam was when she broke a door at work! We do want to mention that this podcast episode was pre-recorded, but we do want to mention that this podcast believes that everyone deserves safety, dignity, and the right to exist without fear. What Ice and the current adminstration is doing is disgusting. Our hearts go out to those in Minnesota and those who have been affected by what is happening. We stand with you.   About The Novel: In the far future, one young woman finds herself torn between two loves—and two sides of a rebellion boiling under the surface—in the first novel of a sweeping dystopian romance trilogy. Centuries after a catastrophic world war nearly decimated the human population, a city arose from the ashes, ruled by an elusive and technologically advanced group called the Illum. At twenty-seven, Emeline lives in limbo, wasting away her days in a job sorting ancient human art for destruction and waiting to be selected as a Mate for a procreation contract. Where others look forward to being chosen, Emeline has never felt like she fit into a society where a person's worth is determined by constantly monitored genes, health, and the ability to procreate. She's struggled to keep her discomfort secret, but when she is finally chosen, her Mate is revealed to be a member of the Illum named Collin, a man who seems to be harboring secrets of his own. It is the first time an Illum has taken a Mate in decades, leaving Emeline—and others—baffled as to why she was chosen. Soon, she is swept into the dangerous game of Courting, filled with ballgowns, lavish dinners, and watchful eyes, where one wrong move can mean elimination. While parts of this elite lifestyle are unexpectedly appealing, the more embroiled she becomes, the more she sees its dark underbelly—and a rebellion rising in secret. Collin is confusing, both cold and protective, and worse, she finds herself drawn to the very last person she should be falling for: Hal, one of the resistance leaders. As she draws closer to both Collin and Hal, the Illum exercise their power in increasingly brutal ways, forcing Emeline to question everything—most of all whether she'll have to give up her heart and even her life to stop them.   Wanna Check Us Out?

We're officially trying to get the holidays right this year — which means planning early, budgeting responsibly, and pretending we've learned from past mistakes. (We have not. But we're trying.) From Halloween ambitions to Christmas logistics, this is the year we swear we'll nail the vibes and the execution. Then, a full-blown beverage industry confession: Sparkling Ice keeps dropping collaborations nobody asked for and everybody immediately buys. Starburst walked so this could sprint, and at this point we're not even resisting anymore — just take the money and leave us with a receipt and a mild sugar rush. And finally, Brandon's Take on a news cycle that simply refuses to clock out. No slow days, no off switch, no respect for weekends, holidays, or our collective mental health. Even when the world should take a breather, the headlines keep coming — and somehow, we're still expected to keep up. Buckle in.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Wednesday, welcome to the Frozen Apple. Temperatures in New York City have remained below freezing since Friday — and they're expected to stay that way until at least early next week as arctic air has settled into the region. At least 10, as of Tuesday — have died after being exposed to the bitter cold that has persisted in New York City since late last Friday. Meanwhile, NYC Ferry has suspended its service, and warned it may be closed “for several days” due to thick layers of ice floating on the rivers.Dozens of protesters were arrested Tuesday after they occupied the lobby of a Hilton Garden Inn in Manhattan, accusing the hotel of housing federal immigration officers.And in Minneapolis, a man sprayed an unknown substance on Democratic U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar and was tackled to the ground Tuesday during a town hall, where tensions over federal immigration enforcement have come to a head after agents fatally shot an intensive care nurse and a mother of three this month.

In our latest episode, our co-hosts Robby and Tim talk with Yoni Michael and Kostas Pardalis, Co-Founders of Typedef. Both have deep backgrounds in data infrastructure (Starburst, Tecton, etc.) and, after meeting through a "blind date" at Blue Bottle Coffee, decided to team up to address the growing brittleness of large-scale data pipelines - issues made worse by the rise of AI.They explain how traditional systems like Spark weren't designed for today's AI workloads, especially unstructured data and LLM inference. Fenic was their answer: an open-source engine and DataFrame library built specifically for LLM workflows, multi-step reasoning, and agentic systems - without the operational complexity.Their biggest lessons: start GTM early, talk to as many data leaders as possible, and keep validating - insights that led directly to open-sourcing Fenic and building its MCP-powered developer experience.

In Episode 49, of Season 5 of Driven by Data: The Podcast, Kyle Winterbottom was joined by Adrian Estala, Field Chief Data & AI Officer at Starburst, where they discuss how to deliver successful AI innovation and transformation by letting 'the business' lead, which includes;Why we need to let business teams to lead AI innovation for meaningful transformation.How business-led approaches to AI translate into practical, real-world examples.The major differences that set AI apart from previous waves of technological business transformation like ERP, Cyber and Cloud.Why AI demands a fundamentally different approach compared to traditional IT-led transformations.How organisations are adapting to the rapid pace of change driven by AI advancements.Balancing the need for AI experimentation with the discipline of effective governance and control.Identifying high-impact AI use cases that deliver competitive advantage through targeted experimentation.Adapting delivery models and governance structures to meet accelerated AI project timelines.Why organisations need a (business) semantic layer in enabling faster and more responsible AI innovation.Why the era of migration is over and what that shift means for digital strategy.Rethinking data foundations to support AI-driven decision-making across the business.The concept of “big data, small agents” and its implications for the future of work.What will distinguish successful AI adopters from those who remain stuck in experimentation over the next 12...

Send us a textEver feel like Halloween says more about us than the costumes do? We kick off with a quick platform cleanup and jump straight into a lively Halloween special full of laughter, strong opinions, and the kinds of stories that stick. From a spoiler-light take on Shelby Oaks to a rapid-fire tour of modern horror—The Nun, La Llorona, The Boogeyman, Evil Dead Rise, and even animated gateway chills like Monster House—we compare what scares us on screen to what unsettles us in real life.The candy segment turns into its own saga. Pillowcases reign as the ultimate trick-or-treat bag. Reese's Cups take the crown, while Starburst, Skittles, Kit Kat, and Twix battle for runner-up. Candy corn catches strays, black licorice splits the room, and boutique sweets like Ferrero Rocher and Lindor get side-eye for being pricey but undeniably good. We trade memories of the “parent tax,” freezer stashes, and the trades that defined our childhood Halloween economy.Things get real on the curb. One of us becomes the “get off my yard” neighbor after kids shortcut across a corner-lot rockscape, which sparks a talk about respect, boundaries, and how we teach community norms. We also rethink trick-or-treat etiquette: full costumes versus teens with empty bags, and why a little grace can keep kids safe and included. Between fast-food detours—Wendy's spicy nuggets, KFC honey barbecue wings, and a PSA against a regrettable steak nugget—we find the throughline: Halloween blends nostalgia, humor, and the rules we live by when no one's watching.Hit play for an honest, funny, and surprisingly thoughtful ride through horror picks, candy rankings, and neighborhood ethics. If you smile, nod, or yell at your phone at least once, share the episode with a friend, subscribe, and drop your top three candies in a review.

Dell Technologies has announced Dell AI Data Platform advancements designed to help enterprises turn distributed, siloed data into faster, more reliable AI outcomes. Why it matters As enterprise AI adoption surges and data grows, organisations need a platform that can securely transform distributed, siloed data into actionable insights. The Dell AI Data Platform, a critical component of the Dell AI Factory, delivers an open, modular foundation to create value from scattered data silos. By decoupling data storage from processing, it eliminates bottlenecks and provides the flexibility needed for AI workloads like training, fine-tuning, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) or inferencing. The platform, integrated with the NVIDIA AI Data Platform reference design, is powered by four core building blocks: Storage engines for smart data placement and seamless data movement Data engines to turn data into actionable insights Built-in cyber resiliency Data management services Together, they create a scalable, flexible foundation for customers to realise AI's full potential. Dell AI Data Platform storage engines deliver peak AI performance Dell PowerScale and Dell ObjectScale, the Dell AI Data Platform's storage engines, offer the performance, security and multi-protocol access essential for AI data. Dell PowerScale delivers NAS (network-attached storage) simplicity and parallel performance for AI workloads like training, fine-tuning, inferencing and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines. With new integration of NVIDIA GB200 and GB300 NVL72 and ongoing software updates, Dell PowerScale delivers reliable performance, simplified management at scale and seamless compatibility with applications and solution stacks. PowerScale F710, which has achieved NVIDIA Cloud Partner (NCP) certification for high-performance storage, delivers 16k+ GPU-scale with up to 5X less rack space, 88% fewer network switches and up to 72% lower power consumption compared to competitors. Dell ObjectScale, the industry's highest-performing object platform, provides extremely performant, scalable S3-native object storage for massive AI workloads. ObjectScale is available as an appliance or through a new software-defined option on Dell PowerEdge servers that is up to 8 times faster than previous-generation all-flash object storage. New advancements improve ObjectScale's speed, scalability and efficiency. S3 over RDMA support will soon enter tech preview. It will offer up to 230% higher throughput, 80% lower latency and 98% lower CPU usage compared to traditional S3. Small object performance and efficiency improvements for large deployments deliver up to 19% higher throughput and up to 18% lower latency for 10KB objects. Deeper AWS S3 integration and bucket-level compression give developers and data scientists better tools to store, move and use large amounts of data. Dell AI Data Platform data engines power real-time AI Dell is also expanding its data engines, the specialised tools in the Dell AI Data Platform that organise, query and activate AI data. Dell's data engines are built in collaboration with trusted AI leaders like NVIDIA, Elastic and Starburst. The new Data Search Engine, developed in collaboration with Elastic, speeds decision-making by allowing customers to interact with data as naturally as asking a question. Designed for tasks like RAG, semantic search and generative AI pipelines, it integrates with MetadataIQ data discovery software to search billions of files on PowerScale and ObjectScale using granular metadata. Developers can build smarter RAG applications in tools like LangChain with the engine, ingesting only updated files to save compute time and keep vector databases current. The Data Analytics Engine, developed in collaboration with Starburst, enables seamless data querying across spreadsheets, databases, cloud warehouses and lakehouses. The new Data Analytics Engine Agentic Layer transforms raw data into business-ready products in...

StarBurst, a satellite the size of a washing machine, aims to detect the initial blast of gamma-rays, the most powerful bursts of energy in the universe. These huge explosions can occur when dense neutron stars collide, forging metals like gold and platinum. These metals are some of the building blocks of planets — like Earth.

Julie & Tolin's solo couple episode: We're in our third trimester (!!) and finally sitting down to talk through our IVF experience. So many of your Q+As were about IVF, so that's where we focused most of this conversation… sharing the raw, weird, wonderful parts of it all.From how much it cost, to how we prepped for transfer and the two-week wait, to the quiet grief and constant worrying we carried through it all… this is the journey behind what brought us to Starburst!Every IVF journey is unique. It's not linear. There are so many challenges and unknowns along the way. This episode isn't about fear-mongering at all, it's about sharing our experience, how it unfolded, and what we wish we'd known before we started. Because it was a long road (months and months), and there were so many moments we found ourselves asking, “How did no one warn us about this?”We cover the full breakdown: cost, steps, how to find a clinic, and what helped us navigate it all. We also talk about how meditation was a huge tool for calming our nervous systems, especially during the hardest days and weeks. After miscarriage, through IVF for genetic reasons… it was a lot to process, a lot of decisions to make, and we truly took it one day at a time, learning and making decisions as we went through it in real time.IVF isn't just physical with shots. It's a relationship process, something that stretches and shapes you as a couple. It's spiritual. It's mental and emotional. And you really don't understand that until you're in it.This one's for anyone in limbo, waiting, or walking through the thick of it. For anyone who's had to let go of the IVF timeline, the plan, the “perfect” month to get pregnant. You are not broken. Your story is sacred. And if you're doing IVF or thinking about it, you're not alone in this—I hope something we shared today brings you a little comfort or clarity.It's just a phase and we're walking through it with you!TOPICS COVERED➡ Why we did IVF without an infertility diagnosis➡ Exactly what we spent (yep, $34k+) and where it all went➡ What we wish we knew before embryo testing + transfer➡ How we prepped our bodies for implantation➡ Why the two-week wait is its own psychological sport➡ What the emotional load looks like as a couple➡ Realistic nursery expectations➡ Building our birth team and what we're doing differently this timeEPISODE RESOURCES➡ SART.org — compare IVF clinics and success rates➡ EvidenceBasedBirth.com — real research for real decisions➡ “The Vaccine-Friendly Plan” — take what works, leave the rest➡ Our doulas Megan + Courtney (if you're in RI/MA, DM us)➡ “Pregnancy Prayer” by Dr. Laura Graye — we listened to this every single day during our IVF process**In this previously recorded episode, we noted that the Pregnancy Prayer Medigraytion was free.

Privacy invasions, robot surveillance, and the surprising return of beloved cult classics dominate this week's tech landscape. Meta has been caught red-handed using tactics similar to digital criminals to secretly harvest web browsing data from Android devices through a backdoor approach that even Google wasn't aware of. The technique mirrors malicious software, planting itself on phones and bypassing security settings by default—a disturbing revelation that should prompt users to reconsider their browser choices.Meanwhile, autonomous vehicles like Waymo have become rolling surveillance systems, their 360-degree cameras constantly recording everything and everyone they pass. Police departments in San Francisco and Phoenix are already issuing warrants for this footage, raising profound questions about our surveillance-saturated future. When you step into a robo-taxi, you're essentially signing away your privacy rights—just one more way we're trading convenience for constant monitoring.On a lighter note, the 1987 cult classic Spaceballs is finally getting a sequel in 2027. Could it be called "The Schwartz Awakens"? It will reunite original cast members including Mel Brooks as Yogurt, Rick Moranis as Dark Helmet, and Bill Pullman as Lone Star, while introducing new characters including Bill Pullman's real-life son Lewis as "Starburst." In other fascinating developments, Chinese researchers have achieved remarkable accuracy in reconstructing human faces from DNA alone, scientists have genetically engineered spiders to produce glowing red silk, and space station microbes are evolving new protective features against radiation. The technological landscape continues to advance at breathtaking speed—for better and sometimes worse.Join us each week as we navigate these technological developments with expert analysis and our signature touch of whiskey appreciation. Whether you're concerned about privacy, excited about entertainment, or fascinated by scientific breakthroughs, Tech Time Radio brings you the insights that matter most, without the technical jargon.Support the show

Tim's First Bear Hunt in Canada Took a Wild Turn! | 100% Wild Podcast Ep. 429 Join hosts Matt and Tim on this episode of the 100% Wild Podcast, powered by DeerCast and First Phorm Energy, as Tim recounts his first-ever bear hunt deep in the Canadian wilderness. From losing his bow at customs to going off-grid at a remote fishing lodge, Tim shares the full story of his wild adventure chasing black bears with a bow. The guys talk about baiting strategies, bear behavior, the tense shot moment, and what it was like to face an apex predator just 23 yards away. They also dive into the unexpected challenges of traveling with meat and bear parts, what it takes to butcher and render bear fat, and why the infamous “bear bone” became the biggest mystery of the trip.

In the fifty-sixth episode of Making Mt. Rushmore, host/moderator Steve Riddle welcomes Jeremy Nichols and James Gruenberg to discuss which Chocolate Candies deserve a place on their respective lists. Is Twix a no-brainer? What about Reese's Peanut Butter Cups? Does M&Ms grab a spot? Does 5th Avenue or Kit Kat deserve a place? After that, they discuss which Non-Chocolate Candies will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that Starburst shouldn't get a spot? Will Skittles be included? Is Sour Patch Kids in the conversation? What about Twizzlers or Air Head Bites?
