CockroachDB 22.1 helps you to build better with less effort, at every stage of your application lifecycle. CockroachDB was made to enable use the same database from start to scale, without rebuilding an app and without crippling, complex operations.
CockroachDB 22.1 enables engineering teams to:
Prototype faster.
Developers can stand up CockroachDB and integrate it with their stack quicker than ever with: – A new command-line tool (CLI) so users can manage and scale their cluster with code – Integrations with the popular tools Prisma and Google Pub/Sub – Support for time-to-live (TTL), which lets developers set a lifespan for row-level data – Improvements to the developer-first offering, CockroachDB Serverless
Optimize more efficiently & avoid toil.
CockroachDB already eliminates common database pains like downtime for maintenance, frequent patches, or black boxes around performance. With CockroachDB 22.1, users can now: – Automate deployment and scaling with a new administrative API – Optimize performance more easily with index recommendations and insights into transaction contention – Monitor their clusters with a new integration with Datadog
Scale better to meet peak demand, everywhere.
CockroachDB already automates and simplifies scale. This release adds updates including: – Quality of Service (QoS) to let users maintain peak performance while handling millions of transactions per second – A new capability to address data domiciling regulations for multi-regional and multi-national businesses
GPT-3, on other words the third generation Generative Pre-trained Transformer, is the most powerful language model ever. Developed by OpenAI GPT-3, is a neural network machine learning model trained using internet data to generate any type of text. It requires a small amount of input text to generate large volumes of relevant and sophisticated machine-generated text. The model has 175 billion parameters, where it’s precursor – GPT-2’s – has only 1.5 billion parameters.
GPT-3 is trained to generate realistic human text, and has been used to create articles, poetry, stories, news reports and dialogue using just a small amount of input text that can be used to produce large amounts of quality copy. The model is also being used for automated conversational tasks, responding to any text that a person types into the computer with a new piece of text appropriate to the context. GPT-3 can create anything with a text structure, and not just human language text. It can also automatically generate text summarizations and even programming code.
GPT-3 is a language prediction model – it has a neural network machine learning model that can take input text as an input and transform it into what it predicts the most useful result will be. This is accomplished by training the system on the vast body of internet text to spot patterns. More specifically, GPT-3 is the third version of a model that is focused on text generation based on being pre-trained on a huge amount of text. When a user provides text input, the system analyzes the language and uses a text predictor to create the most likely output. Even without much additional tuning or training, the model generates high-quality output text that feels similar to what humans would produce.
Digital transformation involves change, which includes change in how people think, and this change starts by changing hearts and minds.
According Paul A. O’Keefe, Carol Dweck and Greg Walton, people tend to gravitate to one of two mindsets — a fixed mindset and a growth mindset.
Fixed mindset people spend their time being excellent, proving how good they are and seeking to be right. Growth mindset people focus on learning, keeping an open mind toward new information and are less concerned with being good and more concerned with getting better. To succeed, CIOs need to be aware of where the fixed versus growth mindsets exist, and it may not be the same for every proposed change. The struggle for CIOs leading transformation initiatives is working with, those with a fixed mindset, because they feel the biggest fear of change. According to Mevotech CIO Martin Davis, “Fear of change is a big problem. People may like the idea of change, but not like being changed. People tend to have a fear of losing something as the result of a change — status, position, knowledge and even coffee with friends. Another obstacle is making sure the business is thinking about change as business change and not just technology change.”
CIOs suggest that after convincing top leadership, changing hearts and minds can involve asking people to give up control, because “things that once made organizations successful can get in the way of the future” (Gary Hamel). Smart CIOs know that effective change agents come in all stripes. Sometimes change agents are outside experts or internal thought leaders, other times they can be the CEO, a key board members, or top customers. To succeed, CIOs need to meet regularly with their peers, host company-wide town halls, and encourage subsequent team meetings. CIOs need to encourage employees to be open to change. It is important to pursue multiple settings for reaching people, because often they need to hear things more than once before it sinks in.
