Data is being generated from various sources, including electronic devices, machines, and social media, across all industries. However, unless it is processed and stored effectively, it holds little value. A significant evolution is taking place in the way data is organized for further analysis. Some databases prioritize organizing data based on its time of generation, while others focus on different functionalities.

Alibabas latest model, QwQ-32B-Preview , has gained some impressive reviews for its reasoning abilities. Like OpenAIs GPT-4 o1, 1 its training has emphasized reasoning rather than just reproducing language. That seemed like something worth testing outor at least playing around withso when I heard that it very quickly became available in Ollama and wasnt too large to run on a moderately well-equipped laptop, I downloaded QwQ and tried it out.

Two weeks ago, Bjarne and I and lots of ISO committee members had a blast at the code::dive C++ conference held on November 25, just two days after the end of the Wrocaw ISO C++ meeting. Thanks again to Nokia for hosting the ISO meeting, and for inviting us all to speak at their conference! My talk was an updated-and-shortened version of my CppCon keynote (which I also gave at Meeting C++; I’ll post a link to that video too once it’s posted): If you already saw the CppCon talk, you c

At the time when I was building the most innovative observability company, security seemed too distant. However, customers began approaching me, praising Dynatraces deep end-to-end insights into even the most complex digital service deployments and asking how to use it for security compliance, exposure, and response use cases. I realized that our platforms unique ability to contextualize security events, metrics, logs, traces, and user behavior could revolutionize the security domain by convergi

This blog post was co-written with Reese Lee. If you already have an application running in Kubernetes and are exploring using OpenTelemetry to gain insights into the health and performance of your app and cluster, you might be interested in an implementation of the Kubernetes Operator called the OpenTelemetry Operator. As youll learn shortly, due to its range of capabilities, the Operator is your go-to for (almost) hassle-free OpenTelemetry management.

At the heart of privacy lies the principle of purpose limitation, dictating that data should only be processed for explicitly stated purposes. This principle presents a considerable challenge, especially for organisations operating at the scale of Meta, which handles vast amounts of data from billions of users. This article examines Policy Zones, a core component of Meta’s Privacy Aware Infrastructure (PAI), designed to address the complexities of purpose limitation at scale.
