Take a look at this picture. It was taken today at our Salesforce offices in Tel-Aviv. It shows a few dozens of Salesforce Israel employees in one of our regular all-hands meetings. What's so special about that? Well, that picture was taken exactly 36 hours after Iran launched a massive aerial strike against Israel with 100s of UCAVs, ballistic and cruise missiles carrying about 60 tons(!) of explosives. Thanks to the Israeli Air force, the air forces of the US, UK, France, Jordan and others *and* Israeli innovation and engineering talent who developed the most advanced multi-layered air defense systems in the world - luckily that attack ended up with relatively low impact. It was a sleepless night for all us in Israel who got an advanced notice of the attack and basically spent that night bracing for impact. Now take another look at this picture. 36 hours later - People showing up at the office, talking to each other, having a few laughs, having meetings, discussing deadlines, solving business problems, discussing engineering problems, doing demos, having coffee and lunch together, having an all-hands meeting together. 36 hours ago we were bracing for impact of 60 tons of explosives that were about to fall out of the sky. Take another look at this picture - This is how resilience looks like. You can count on us. We deliver. No matter what. https://lnkd.in/eXSvz3xv

This measure, part of the broader "National Infrastructure Bill" enacted a year ago to close Israel's major infrastructure gap, is HUGE. It aims to overcome the "Utility Coordination" challenge, notoriously the weakest link in every project life cycle — key to delivering Israel's mega-projects on time over the next decade and essential for sustaining rapid economic growth. Why is this so crucial? - Israel's productivity gap (GDP per hour worked) is the biggest challenge to realizing its economic growth potential. - Alongside the demographic challenge, aggressively addressing the "Infrastructure Gap" is a top priority. - Approximately 25% of the productivity gap is attributed to infrastructure deficiencies in transportation, particularly mass transit. - Over the next 10-15 years, Israel will invest more than NIS 0.5 trillion in capital projects for Transportation and Energy (1.5-2% increase in investment of GDP annually). Streamlining projects = closing the "infrastructure gap" faster = GROWTH. Adi Hachmon Iliya Katz Yuval Avigdor Dana Dover Itzik Daniel Esti Feldman

As we navigate the ongoing war and achieve significant milestones, we confront the side effects it creates for the entire nation, including the tech industry. One significant side effect is the disruption of flights, impacting critical operations across various sectors. Investor Michael Eisenberg highlighted the urgent need for action to support the Israeli tech sector, as companies face significant challenges due to their dependence on flights for essential operations and growth. Our Managing Partner, Moran Chamsi, echoed these concerns, emphasizing the importance of government intervention to keep Israeli tech connected to the global market, while presenting practical solutions the government can implement immediately.

I went on Uri Goren, Tamir Nave, and Michael Erlihson's podcast "explAInable" (in Hebrew) to talk about uncertainty quantification literature in AI, nuances about what their algorithms do and what they don't, and in particular about my 2021 LSF paper with Yuyang (Bernie) Wang, Tim Januschowski and Jan Gasthaus for making point prediction algorithms (like XGBoost) into probabilistic ones. If you are interested but do not know Hebrew, see https://lnkd.in/g9SGPwbd for a plain English explanation of the algorithm, and for hassle-free copy-and-paste code so you can use it yourself within seconds. (And a link to the paper, of course.)

This article in Mekomit highlights how easy it is for people to get lost in their daily routines, prioritizing their own comfort and avoiding tough questions. Meanwhile, their taxes and silence help enable horrors like starvation, torture, and genocide. It’s a stark reminder that indifference isn’t neutral. It has consequences. We must choose to stay aware and act against such injustices.

TL;DR - You're likely overpaying for your cloud-database infrastructure, and it remains the weakest link in your SLA chain. When Tal Tamir and I embarked on our mission to optimize relational databases in the cloud with Rapydo, we initially didn't grasp the real root cause of high database costs. After engaging with hundreds of Amazon RDS users, we realized that high costs are merely a symptom of a few deeper issues. Cloud applications can scale infinitely, but your RDBMS cannot. This disparity creates a significant challenge: while your applications scale out seamlessly, your databases are limited to scaling up. This forces companies to prepare for worst-case scenario spikes around the clock. This challenge is particularly prevalent among the cloud-native businesses we spoke with, where over 90% rely heavily on RDBMS. Even with over-provisioning to handle potential application spikes, DevOps teams cannot be certain that the next spike will be absorbed by the available CPU and I/O resources. This uncertainty results in overpaying for database infrastructure while still facing the risk of performance bottlenecks. If you're encountering similar issues with your cloud-based RDBMS, reach out to me or Shir Margalit. Let's discuss how we can help to reduce your DB Outages by 99%, with 0 engineering efforts

Ants vs. Humans Are you a team player or prefer working solo? Prof. Ofer Feinerman and his team at the Weizmann Institute of Science, conducted research to understand how ants and humans, two highly social creatures, work together in groups. Participants were given a large T-shaped object that they had to maneuver across a rectangular space divided into three chambers connected by two narrow slits. The ants tackled the maze challenge in three combinations: a single ant, a small group of about seven ants and a large group of about 80. Humans handled the task in three parallel combinations: a single person, a small group of six to nine individuals and a large group of 26. Read the rest of the article to see who is better at tackling a maze more efficiently in a group- ants or humans?
