[paper][ClickHouse]

This paper presents an overview of ClickHouse, a popular open- source OLAP database designed for high-performance analytics over petabyte-scale data sets with high ingestion rates. Its storage layer combines a data format based on traditional log-structured merge (LSM) trees with novel techniques for continuous trans- formation (e.g. aggregation, archiving) of historical data in the background. Queries are written in a convenient SQL dialect and processed by a state-of-the-art vectorized query execution engine with optional code compilation. ClickHouse makes aggressive use of pruning techniques to avoid evaluating irrelevant data in queries. Other data management systems can be integrated at the table function, table engine, or database engine level. Real-world bench- marks demonstrate that ClickHouse is amongst the fastest analyti- cal databases on the market.

“Uber’s business runs on a myriad of microservices. Ensuring that changes to all of these services are deployed safely and in a timely manner is critical. By utilizing continuous deployment to automate this process, we ensure that new features, library updates, and security patches are all delivered to production without unnecessary delays, improving the overall quality of code serving our business.
In this article, we share how we reimagined continuous deployment of microservices at Uber to improve our deployment automation and the user experience of managing microservices, while tackling some of the peculiar challenges of working with large monorepos with increasing commit volumes.

[ai][moshi]

Moshi is made of three main components: Helium, a 7B language model trained on 2.1T tokens, Mimi, a neural audio codec that models semantic and acoustic information, and a new multi-stream architecture that jointly models audio from the user and Moshi on separate channels.

As we are on the open market and looking for a job we aim to be good enough to pass the gates. But what if we are thinking about perfection?

[genAI][clone your c-lvl]
The promise of human behavioral simulation—general-purpose computational agents that replicate human behavior across domains—could enable broad applications in policymaking and social science. We present a novel agent architecture that simulates the attitudes and behaviors of 1,052 real individuals—applying large language models to qualitative interviews about their lives, then measuring how well these agents replicate the attitudes and behaviors of the individuals that they represent. The generative agents replicate participants' responses on the General Social Survey 85% as accurately as participants replicate their own answers two weeks later, and perform comparably in predicting personality traits and outcomes in experimental
replications.

[video][motivation]
While this channel supposed to be pure technical I read / listen / watch some other resources to get idea about life and choices. Some times we are not getting what we thought we could and get stressed out although we put some much into making things for the better.
I’d like to share one of the worth watching / listening videos
