ugh, sorry. you’ll want to pin versions. we roll out new versions as quickly as possible but there will usually be a lag (even if only a day or two) because we need to test new versions before rolling them out.

Looks like this is a known issue and will be resolved in the next few days by the R client maintainer.
Let us know if you’re not able to get a resolution there.

delighted to support you and CMU!
I've been leading the data infrastructure efforts at my job (I used to work as a Data Engineer in big tech) and the stack we've landed on is so enjoyable to work with.
@dagster.io - Orchestration
@duckdb.org - Database
@motherduck.com - Data Warehouse/storage
DBT - Data modeling
Why use a semantic layer? 🤔
@ssp.sh shows how to build the simplest one with just:
⚡ YAML for metrics
⚡ Python + DuckDB + Ibis to query 20M NYC taxi records
You'll understand when it's useful and when it's overkill

A technical discussion about the evolution of open table formats and lakehouse architecture.

that’s if you want the compute to happen in the cloud. if you just want local compute and aren’t worried about latency, then the blob store approach and HF are both great.
of course you should do a normal motherduck share allowing folks to create their own motherduck account and access with their own compute (free or paid).
you could do a read-only motherduck token but you’d get as much compute offered by a single account (if paid that can scale to many instances)
Curious to know more about DuckLake? Next Tuesday, DuckDB co-creator @hannes.muehleisen.org will talk with @motherduck.com CEO @jrdntgn.bsky.social about DuckLake and the future of open table formats.
