AWS Glue Crawlers now supports Apache Hudi tables, allowing customers to query data in Apache Hudi tables directly from AWS analytics services like Amazon Athena. Apache Hudi is an open-source table format that brings database and data warehouse capabilities to the data lake. Apache Hudi helps data engineers manage continuously evolving data sets while maintaining query performance. 

AWS AppConfig, a capability of AWS Systems Manager, announces support for the AWS AppConfig Agent on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2). AWS AppConfig allows customers to deploy faster and safer using feature flags and dynamic configuration, decoupling software releases from code deployments. The AWS AppConfig Agent is client-side software that manages configuration data on behalf of customers. Previously, customers needed to manage their own polling and caching of data when running applications on Amazon EC2. Now, the agent takes care of these tasks. With this update, the AWS AppConfig Agent now has native support for the following compute services: AWS Lambda, Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS), Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), and Amazon EC2.

Back in 2004 the chip industry’s technologists were in despair – processes wouldn’t shrink, scaling was dead – or so it was thought. “Scaling is already dead, and no one has noticed it’s not breathing and the lips have turned blue,” said Dr Bernie Meyerson, chief technologist at IBM Systems and technology group, adding, “somewhere …

A team from the Université Côte d’Azur has addressed some of the challenges of automotive lidar, using an acousto-optic modulator, a metasurface deflector and, to improve range and signal to noise ratio, a technique borrowed from telecommunication. Vehicle lidar sends out pulses and measures time-of-flight for returned pulses to determine range. These pulses are sent …

At Stanford University, researchers have found a way to record the activity of a single neuron without burrowing into the brain – of a rat in this case. Developed by Anqi Zhang and colleagues, the key part is a micro-probe that can be threaded through blood vessels as small as 100μm in diameter. Initially it …
