En la actualidad, 143 millones de personas esperan una intervención quirúrgica en países de renta baja. Y aunque hay organizaciones dispuestas a aportar médicos y recursos, existe un vacío de información entre unos y otros, afirma Joan LaRovere, jefa médica asociada del Boston Children’s Hospital, profesora de la Facultad de Medicina de Harvard y cofundadora de la Virtue Foundation, ONG dedicada a resolver este problema de información. La Fundación Virtue, fundada en 2002, ya ha creado la mayor base de datos del mundo de ONG y centros sanitarios, y presta servicios sanitarios globales en más d...

By Anirban Ghoshal Just days after rival data lakehouse provider Snowflake said that it would open up the source code to its Polaris Catalog, Databricks is open sourcing its Unity Catalog offering. Databricks’ Unity Catalog, which was made generally available in June 2022 and later updated with Okera’s capabilities, used to be a closed-sourced unified governance offering that provided centralized access control, auditing, lineage, and data discovery capabilities across Databricks workspaces. When Snowflake released Polaris Catalog at its annual conference earlier this month, it said it would o...

There are currently 143 million people waiting for surgeries in lower income countries. And there are organizations ready to bring in doctors and resources — but there’s an information gap between the two, says Joan LaRovere, associate chief medical officer at Boston Children’s Hospital, a professor at Harvard medical School, and co-founder of the Virtue Foundation, an NGO dedicated to solving this information problem. The Virtue Foundation, founded in 2002, has already created the world’s largest database of NGOs and healthcare facilities, delivering global health services in over 25 countrie...

By Alex Watson The potential of generative AI has captivated both businesses and consumers alike, but growing concerns around issues like privacy, accuracy, and bias have prompted a burning question: What are we feeding these models? The current supply of public data has been adequate to produce high-quality general purpose models, but is not enough to fuel the specialized models enterprises need. Meanwhile, emerging AI regulations are making it harder to safely handle and process raw sensitive data within the private domain. Developers need richer, more sustainable data sources—the reason man...

Un organismo con solera y una historia apasionante. La Agencia Estatal de Meteorología (Aemet) data del siglo XIX, su origen se remonta al levantamiento del Instituto Central Meteorológico afincado en el Observatorio Meteorológico, junto al parque de El Retiro, al término del paseo de Coches. Desde entonces, relata Jesús Montero, coordinador de Telemática en la Aemet, han pasado por diversas manos, sendos ministerios y diversos apelativos. “Fue en el 78 cuando nos ‘civilizaron’”, bromea el meteorólogo, “a partir de ese año nos designaron personal de la Administración Civil del Estado y ahora d...

By David Boskovic What has always fascinated me about Moore’s law is that for more than half a century, the technological computing innovations we take for granted—from the PC to smart watches to self-driving cars—hinged on solving one small, specific problem: the distance between transistors on a chip. As our software-powered world becomes more and more data-driven, unlocking and unblocking the coming decades of innovation hinges on data: how we collect it, exchange it, consolidate it, and use it. In a way, the speed, ease, and accuracy of data exchange has become the new Moore’s law. TL;DR: ...

As CIOs and other tech leaders face pressure to adopt AI, many organizations are still skipping a crucial first step for successful deployments: putting their data house in order. Despite warnings going back at least six years, many CIOs fail to collect and organize the vast amount of data their organizations continuously generate, according to some data management vendors. Less than half of organizations have a coherent data management process in place before they launch AI projects, say IT leaders at Databricks and Astera Software, both in the data management space. Only about 20% of organiz...

By Anirban Ghoshal Databricks has agreed to acquire Tabular, the storage platform vendor led by the creators of Apache Iceberg, in order to promote data interoperability in lakehouses. Tabular founders Ryan Blue and Daniel Weeks started developing Iceberg at Netflix in 2017 and donated it to the Apache Software Foundation in 2018, around the same time that Databricks was developing Delta Lake, an open-source table format for data that can be used for ACID transactions or OLTP processing. In contrast, Apache Iceberg is mostly used for OLAP queries as it has challenges around concurrency writes....
