Erald David @eraldds.bsky.social · 08/01/2025I love how every article about Analytics kept screaming "Raise your technical skills. Learn platform!" but the OG book from Kimball mentioned (in the first 20 page of the book): "Yeah no, you're hybrid DBA and MBA" 100
Erald David @eraldds.bsky.social · 18/12/2024Unexplored Topic: Most startups (at least in Indonesia) currently take a Business-Market Fit-first approach, keeping all processes manual until they generate revenue, before committing precious resources (like engineering bandwidth) to properly productize their solutions. 100

Reposted by Erald DavidJenna Jordan @jennajordan.me · 05/11/2024The first book would have to be Data & Reality by Bill Kent (2nd ed of course). After that there are many potential options but I’ve wanted to have a book club for Data & Reality for so long that it has to be the first one. We could call it the “Data Philosophizing” book club or something. 12452

Erald David @eraldds.bsky.social · 29/11/2024It's crazy to think that Chicago become the center of modern finance because their geographic advantage and .....cow? What does analogy that fit into this case? On top of my head: it's like knowing your local IKEA become 3 Michelin star restaurant in the future... because they can cook meatball 110

Reposted by Erald DavidMartin Kleppmann @martin.kleppmann.com · 26/11/2024Interesting critique of the problems with peer review. Unfortunately it fails to offer a proposal for what might be better. I'm reminded of the old adage “democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.” Likewise for peer review. www.experimental-history.com/p/the-rise-a...experimental-history.comThe rise and fall of peer reviewWhy the greatest scientific experiment in history failed, and why that's a great thing 910616
Reposted by Erald Davidfeynon @ankeshbharti.com · 26/11/2024Finished reading the book, last two chapters on the philosophical aspects of technology worship are great, and the material provides vivid conceptual clarity on bubble dynamics. However, overall, the book could have been much shorter. 021
Reposted by Erald DavidJeremy Howard @howard.fm · 27/11/2024I'm glad @hf.co is doing this. It brings down the barriers to allow more people to benefit from AI, rather than keeping it exclusively in the realm of deep pocketed giant companies. AI can help open the gates, to allow regular people to do things they couldn't do before. (Which can be threatening!) 916813

Reposted by Erald DavidCedric Chin @handle.invalid · 21/11/2024One thing I’ve learnt about The Practice is that it takes time for other controllable levers to show up — and sometimes you’re limited by how rich your understanding of your causal model of your process is. This is limited by experience, instrumentation, and creativity. 152
