uv is the best thing to happen to the Python ecosystem in a decade

uvis a new Rust-powered CLI from Astral that tosses Python versioning, virtualenvs, and dependency syncing into one blisteringly fast tool. It handles yourpyproject.tomllike a grown-up—auto-generates it, updates it, keeps your environments identical across machines. Need to run a tool once without t.. read more

Building a Kubernetes Platform — Think Big, Think in Planes

Thinking in planes, as introduced by the Platform Engineering reference model, helps teams describe their platform in a simple, shared language, turning a collection of tools into a platform. It forces you to think horizontally, connecting teams and technologies instead of adding more layers, creati.. read more

Helm 4 Overview

Helm 4 ditches the old plugin model for a sharper, plugin-first architecture powered by WebAssembly. That means isolation/control, and deeper customization - if you're ready to adapt! Post-renderers are now plugins. That breaks compatibility with earlier exec-based setups, so expect some rewiring. .. read more

The State of OCI Artifacts for AI/ML

OCI artifacts quietly leveled up. Over the last 18 months, they’ve gone from a niche hack to production muscle for AI/ML workloads on Kubernetes. The signs? Clear enough:KitOpsandModelPacklanded in the CNCF Sandbox. Kubernetes 1.31 got native support forImage Volume Source. Docker pushedModel Runner.. read more

Build AI Agents Worth Keeping: The Canvas Framework

MIT and McKinsey found a gap the size of the Grand Canyon: 80% of companies claim they’re using generative AI, but fewer than 1 in 10 use cases actually ship. Blame it on scattered data, fuzzy goals, and governance that's still MIA. A new stack is stepping in:product → agent → data → model. It flips.. read more

Grokipedia

Grokipedia just dropped - a Wikipedia remix built from LLM output, pitched as an escape from "woke" bias. The pitch? Bold. The execution? Rough. Entries run long. Facts bend. Citations wander. And the tone? Cold, context-free, and unmistakably machine-made. The usual LLM suspects are here: hallucina.. read more  

BigQuery is a cloud-native, serverless analytics platform designed to store, query, and analyze massive volumes of structured and semi-structured data using standard SQL. It separates storage from compute, automatically scales resources, and eliminates the need for infrastructure management, indexing, or capacity planning.

BigQuery is optimized for analytical workloads such as business intelligence, log analysis, data science, and machine learning. It supports real-time data ingestion via streaming, batch loading from cloud storage, and federated queries across external data sources like Cloud Storage, Bigtable, and Google Drive.

Query execution is distributed and highly parallel, enabling interactive performance even on petabyte-scale datasets. The platform integrates deeply with the Google Cloud ecosystem, including Looker for BI, Vertex AI for ML workflows, Dataflow for streaming pipelines, and BigQuery ML, which allows users to train and run machine learning models directly using SQL.

Built-in security features include fine-grained IAM controls, column- and row-level security, encryption by default, and audit logging. BigQuery follows a consumption-based pricing model, charging for storage and queries (on-demand or reserved capacity).
