IFF AI, as currently implemented, can intuit Special Relativity from just a clock tower and a moving tram will I take AI seriously.
Infinite granularity yields infinite complexity.
"I run the country and the world" - ah, not Canada
The world is not linear.

Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely.
-- Lord Acton/1887
Well, we all are going to die.
-- Joni Ernst/2025 [poor soon rich later; the way God intended]
There's not a single example of things working out for the appeaser.
-- Nicolle Wallace/2024 [like this? the next extortion is on the way]
This is the epitome of an absolute needless death [the second so far; that's been reported]. These kids should get vaccinated — that's how you prevent people from dying of measles. -- Dr. McElhone/1974

I have had to explain and re-explain and re-explain and re-explain, you know, how relational databases work, what is an eigenvector,
what is dimensionality reduction.
-- Christopher Wylie/2018
... but Flash-based storage has such a different performance profile from rotating media, that I suspect that it will end up having
a large impact on filesystem design. Right now, most filesystems tend to be designed with the latencies of rotating media in mind.

This Week's thought
With the exception of some reports of myocarditis — inflammation of the heart muscle — in some recipients, mostly
teenage boys, no significant side effects have been reported [from mRNA vaccines]. (Covid infection can also trigger myocarditis in
this demographic. In fact, it happens at a higher rate, and infection-induced cases are typically more severe than those seen
post-vaccination.) -- Helen Branswell/2025 [the Office of Data Integrity will halt such fake data collection]
See you next week in a brand new show©Heckle and Jeckle
In a time of SSD, multi-core/processor, two terabyte memory and Optane App Direct Mode (RIP) machines, there is no reason
not to build from BCNF data. Time to do what Dr. Codd demonstrated. Technology has finally caught up with the maths.

Shameless Plug
I know a little something about SQL, DB2 (preferably LUW, z/OS if the money's right), Oracle, SQL Server, Postgres, and database design in general. Mentoring/teaching/consulting on a short term basis, too. And a bit of stat analysis if it's R.
