Our first talk tonight is from @datancoff.ee on How to prepare your AI Agents for the Ice(berg) Age.
LLMs are extremely powerful, but their data is often old and they hallucinate. We can largely solve that using agents with tools.

Forgive me, Data Father, I have sinned. We at Tower created an orchestrator that is not a data flow and not a DAG. It has:
- a way to run apps
- a way to wait for runs to finish
- a scheduler
That's it
You can't solve world hunger with it, but everything else you can

🚨 New Features Monday!
1️⃣ Support for Iceberg Catalogs inside Tower apps
2️⃣ Tower SDK with Tower Tables, probably the simplest way to read and write to Iceberg tables from Python code
“pip install tower” installs both the Tower CLI and the SDK including Tables.

The ducks have done it again. Kudos to the @motherduck.com team for building a local UI for DuckDB:
1️⃣ Use this UI on your laptop to run SQL queries on Iceberg tables in S3
2️⃣ Get closer to the multi-engine, shared storage nirvana
3️⃣ Set-up time of ⌚ 32 minutes, door-to-door

Today's Hamlets, Princes of Denmark, ask the question differently: "To use or Not to use Snowflake Open Catalog as managed Iceberg catalog?"
I summoned the inner Shakespeare and penned an answer. Lemme know what you think. Or not.
