We finally have 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗿-𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 (𝗨𝗗𝗙) in DAX! Don't make mistakes; this is not a user data function in Fabric. This is a new DAX feature, the most important one in the last five years. First article and video to introduce how UDFs in DAX work. sqlbi.com/articles/intro…

Absolutely loving all the noise and fuss in the running world about Sibu breaking the 6hr barrier. Well deserved‼️⭐️
@BankZeroSA It's already been 3hrs, what took so long to get this message out? Why no DR plan/process?

Just published: First Look at GPT-5 on an NL2DAX Benchmark. I tested GPT-5 against a Power BI–focused dataset to see how it handles complex DAX query generation, and the results are surprising. Read the full analysis here: pbidax.wordpress.com/2025/08/10/fir…

I urge to listen to this, especially if you’re struggling with gambling. Trevor and I spoke about online sports betting. Some of you know I lost my brother to suicide because of his addiction to it. After hearing that, Trevor stopped accepting betting companies as advertisers on his podcast. In this clip, he and Ryan (who’s off screen) make some very sharp points about how these companies operate and the sneaky, manipulative tricks they use to get people to spend all their money. See the whole podcast on Spotify or YouTube, What Now? With Trevor Noah. (Can’t believe I had to pay Elon Musk in order to post a longer video).

The latest paper from the #1 CMU-DB PhD student @SamArchDB's is wild compilation DB magic! He automatically makes UDFs run 300x faster on @SQLServer and 1.3x faster on @duckdb. Code: github.com/SamArch27/PRISM Paper: vldb.org/pvldb/vol18/p1…
