As the scale of data continues to grow, open-source table formats have become essential for efficient data lake management. Apache Iceberg has emerged as a leader in this space, while new formats like Lance are introducing optimizations for specific workloads.

Even if you have spent some time reading about machine learning, chances are that you have never heard of Gaussian processes. And if you have, rehearsing the basics is always a good way to refresh your memory. With this blog post we want to give an introduction to Gaussian processes and make the mathematical intuition behind them more approachable.
Around $6.8 trillion dollars in value has been wiped from U.S. stocks, as Wall Street is reportedly already reacting to a new era of trade wars. But as stocks slip and inflation worries reignite, one asset class may remain uncorrelated: fine art.
Unlike equities, contemporary art has near-zero correlation to stocks. In fact, Masterworks data shows it has outpaced the S&P 500 by 32% since 1995, making it a go-to hedge for a slice of savvy investor portfolios.
Masterworks’ platform allows everyday investors to invest in shares of multimillion-dollar artwork offerings featuring artists like Picasso and Basquiat. With 23 exits across their 450+ offerings—all profitable—it’s clear why investors are flocking to art.

AI News:
OpenAI just rolled out a massive update to ChatGPT’s memory, enabling the AI assistant to automatically remember and reference information across all user conversations, delivering more personalized and relevant responses. ChatGPT will cut across all conversations, listening in all the time and capturing users’ preferences, interests, needs, and even things they don’t like.
Most hearing aids have one processor. These bad boys have two. They process speech and noise separately. What does this mean? It means speech gets clearer and crisper – more than ever before. Conversations and listening become effortless. Oh, and they’re so tiny, they’re practically invisible. No wonder over 425,000 customers love them.
Microsoft Research published a study revealing that AI agents—even those powered by the most advanced models available—still struggle with most software debugging tasks that human programmers routinely solve. Microsoft used nine LLMs, including Claude 3.7 Sonnet, to power a “single prompt-based agent” tasked with 300 debugging issues from SWE-bench Lite.
DoorDash has started robot deliveries in Los Angeles and Chicago. This is thanks to a partnership with the company Coco Robotics. Eligible customers will be able to receive sidewalk deliveries sourced from over 600 participating merchants.
Former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati’s Thinking Machines Lab, an AI startup led by several OpenAI veterans, is reportedly pursuing one of the largest seed funding rounds in history.Fresh out of stealth with nearly half of the founding team from OpenAI, Thinking Machines Lab is in talks to raise $2B at a valuation of “at least” $10B.
The latest to double down on that strategy is Canva. The company on Thursday said it is adding a suite of new AI features to its platform, including an AI assistant, the ability to create apps with prompts, support for spreadsheets, and AI-powered editing tools.

How to turn photos into viral action figures
First, we had Ghibli-style images, and now the action figure trend is going viral. If you want to join the trend and create action figures of yourself or your friends, here’s how you can easily do it using ChatGPT
Go to Chatgpt or use the ChatGPT mobile app.
Choose 'GPT-4o' as your model (it is available for free, but with a daily cap on image generations).
Upload a photo of yourself (or a friend, etc.).
You'll get better results with high-resolution photos and full-body images, especially if you want your action figure to capture your outfit and accessories.
Get creative with your prompts: You can add details like designing packaging, including accessories, and more. Here's an example:
Turn the person in this photo into a realistic action figure inside plastic packaging like a collector’s toy. The figure should be smiling and posed in an upright position. Add a nameplate at the top and include accessories on one side, like a laptop, camera, jacket, and boots. Use a black background to highlight the figure, and make sure it looks just like the person in the photo.
Once the image is generated, review it and make adjustments if necessary. You can refine the prompt or regenerate if you want different colors, poses, or features until you get the result you want.
You can also use the action figure image in Sora or other AI video generators and create a prompt that shows it being removed from its packaging.
