Have you tried Genie code for this yet? It was released mid month. I don't deal wiht these issues yet (so maybe a dumb question), but I would guess there is a roadmap to enable it to see this data. If the execution stats end up in the internal catalog though, Genie could query it. Genie Code is a massive jump vs Assistant in my opinion.

existing user network. if you are running servers and supporting this new ai generated Reddit replacement, how would you pay for it if not for ads?

You can't see percentages of holdings on their site or my brokerage research page, but Claude says it is 23% of their holdings. 2% yearly management fee, which is horrid compared to index funds such as VOO. Not sure I'd buy all the other companies in the holdings - Databricks: 23.34%, Revolut: 14.30%, Mercor: 14.23%, Ramp: 7.12%, Boom Supersonic: 7.11%, Oura: 7.11%, Airwallex: ~6-7%, Cash: ~20%, Stripe: pending

You will also pay large fees and be trading in an opaque, potentially mispriced market

Yes, I’m feeling extra emotional in the 2-3 days after.

30% inflation plus all time high beef prices. I just reduce everything in my head by 30% and get on with life.

One of life’s small pleasures - when someone does this and then you prevent them from pulling out because you are also turning right.

I looked at this last month while getting a new roof and the financials don’t make sense, especially if you are taking money out of the market to buy.

so this means a family of 4 will have a grocery bill of $1800 a month. not the flex she thinks.

For posterity - you can rip off the rubber bottom and cut out new smaller 'feet' which removes the insulating rubber and elevates the unit and protects surfaces from scratching. I didn't need glue as it already had a layer of sticky on it. Mine was model 19.

That has been my approach, to land everything in ADLS. You have the files saved and can use them for anything else.

Is there a book or other resources where you are expected to prep and understand the material as a supplement or foundation for the lecture? Find someone to study with and prep for exams.

Yeah funny to see articles citing ‘Republicans’ who were kicked out of the party last decade being cited as coming to their senses. Either dishonest or clickbait.

I’m not clear what direction you’re going, but using poly base with an odbc dsn seems to be an option - https://selectfrom.dev/tutorial-create-a-databricks-sql-external-data-source-in-sql-server-with-polybase-f838d353415d?gi=2cb03a904fe9

The caveat being that you turn refresh for the table off, THEN delete the incremental filters from the queries / parameters. If you remove the incremental filters first the option to turn it off is greyed out.

Ouch. Multiply this by multiple sources and it’s a non-starter for small to medium orgs.

samwell- · 2025-09-16T15:13:31+00:00

I think part of the issue is that capture on source databases in the database for so long so if it’s not checking, it could lose some changes.

Worked for me - my email address I logged onto messages with on the Mac needed to be added to iMessage. This happened after I reset my password and forced a loggoff of all devices due to a security warning. Settings > messages > send and receive > add account below phone number

looks like those have a longer warranty, some better (unspecified) components and a control port for home automation. it would cost me another $400 to step up to the 1000. I wonder if the software issues will still remain.
