In this debut episode of Data Renegades, CL Kao and Dori Wilson dive into the unconventional paths that led them into developer tools, civic tech, and machine learning systems. CL recounts his experience building early open source infrastructure, mobilizing communities through data transparency projects, and now shaping how we design software around LLMs. This episode sets the tone for the show’s mission: celebrating builders who redefine the boundaries of what tools can do.

In episode 2 of Data Renegades, CL Kao and Dori Wilson speak with Simon Willison. Together they dive into the origins of Datasette, the evolution of data journalism, and the surprising ways open source tools shape global reporting. Simon also explains how LLM-based agents will redefine data cleaning, enrichment, and analysis. A must-listen for anyone building or scaling data teams.

O podcast que conecta líderes e especialistas em mídia digital inicia uma nova fase com a Edição Especial da Black Friday, dedicada a discutir as transformações e oportunidades do ecossistema de Retail Media no Brasil.
Neste segundo episódio, recebemos Victor Soffiatti, Diretor de Mídia e Performance da L’Oréal Brasil, para uma conversa sobre “A força da Black Friday na indústria cosmética” — um olhar estratégico sobre como a data se tornou um acelerador de inovação, integração de dados, otimização de investimentos e colaboração entre marcas, agências e varejistas, redefinindo o futuro do varejo digital.

Episódio 15: Beleza, dados e varejo. A força da Black Friday na indústria cosmética

In this episode, we sit down with Solution Architect Robert Alvarez to discuss the technology behind Pure Key-Value Accelerator (KVA) and its role in accelerating AI inference. Pure KVA is a protocol-agnostic, key-value caching solution that, when combined with FlashBlade data storage, dramatically improves GPU efficiency and consistency in AI environments. Robert—whose background includes time as a Santa Clara University professor, NASA Solution Architect, and work at CERN—explains how this innovation is essential for serving an entire fleet of AI workloads, including modern agentic or chatbot interfaces.

Robert dives into the massive growth of the AI Inference market, driven by the need for near real-time processing and low-latency AI applications. This trend makes the need for a solution like Pure KVA critical. He details how KVA removes the bottleneck of GPU memory and shares compelling benchmark results: up to twenty times faster inference with NFS and six times faster with S3, all over standard Ethernet. These performance gains are key to helping enterprises scale more efficiently and reduce overall GPU costs.

Beyond the technical deep dive, the episode explores the origin of the KVA idea, the unique Pure IP that enables it, and future integrations like Dynamo and the partnership with Comet for LLM observability. In the popular “Hot Takes” segment, Robert offers his perspective on blind spots IT leaders might have in managing AI data and shares advice for his younger self on the future of the data management space.

Accelerating Enterprise AI Inference with Pure KVA

This is a narrated data sonification (data >> sound) of New York City eviction data from 2017 to 2024. The lower/deeper the tone, the larger the number of monthly evictions. Listen for the pause during the covid-19 pandemic. 

New York City Evictions Sonification (with Narration)

This is a data sonification of the total solar eclipse that occurred in 2024. The sound represents the eclipse's path of totality, which moved in a northeast trajectory across North America. Latitude is mapped to pitch, and longitude is mapped to stereo image. Find more about this project: https://aurawalmer.com/total-solar-eclipse-2024.

Total Solar Eclipse Sonification

This sound composition, created in dialogue with nomater's video fragments, combines layers of ambient textures, rhythmic patterns, and television-like noise. The sound should not accompany the image but coexist with it to create a sonic atmosphere where signal and distortion are inseparable. It reflects the psychological landscape of contemporary life: fragmented, overstimulated, and searching for silence within chaos.
