Welcome to the cozy corner of the tech world where ones and zeros mingle with casual chit-chat. Datatopics Unplugged is your go-to spot for relaxed discussions around tech, news, data, and society.

Dive into conversations that should flow as smoothly as your morning coffee (but don’t), where industry insights meet laid-back banter. Whether you’re a data aficionado or just someone curious about the digital age, pull up a chair, relax, and let’s get into the heart of data, unplugged style!

In this episode, we are joined by special guest Nico for a lively and wide-ranging tech chat. Grab your headphones and prepare for:

• Strava’s ‘Athlete Intelligence’ feature: A humorous dive into how workout apps are getting smarter—and a little sassier.
• Frontend frameworks: HTMX is a tough choice: A candid discussion on using React versus emerging alternatives like HTMX and when to keep things lightweight.
• Octoverse 2024 trends and language wars: Python takes the lead over JavaScript as the top GitHub language, and we dissect why Go, TypeScript, and Rust are getting love too.
• GenAI meets Minecraft: Imagine procedurally generated worlds and dreamlike coherence breaks—Minecraft-style. How GenAI could redefine gameplay narratives and NPC behavior.
• OpenAI’s O1 model leak: Insights on the recent leak, what’s new, and its implications for the future of AI.
• Tiger Beetle’s transactional databases and testing tales: Nico walks us through Tiger Style, deterministic simulation testing, and why it’s a game changer for distributed databases.
• Automated testing for LLMOps: A quick overview of automated testing for large language models and its role in modern AI workflows.
• DeepLearning.ai’s short courses: Quick, impactful learning to level up your AI skills.
