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.
A Psychopath Lame Duck. What Could Go Wrong?
This is Trump's America now!

The world is not linear.

The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.
-- Verbal Kint/1995
Instead of taxing our citizens to enrich other countries, we will tariff and tax foreign countries to enrich our citizens. It will be massive amounts of money pouring into our Treasury coming from foreign sources.

The DOGE personnel wanted to gain access to USAID security systems and personnel files. ... DOGE personnel wanted access to classified information, which only those with security clearances and a specific need to know are able to access.

Scientists aren't vocal enough about science. There are large groups of people who think scientists are all frauds and who don't
believe in science, and they're being cultured by some of our far right-wing politicians, religious leaders and community leaders. -- Patrick Egan/2025 MAWA

... but Flash-based storage has such a different performance profile from rotating media, that I suspect that it will end up having

This Week's thought
Any assistant U.S. attorney would know that our laws and traditions do not allow using the prosecutorial power to influence other citizens, much less elected officials, in this way. If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me. -- Hagan Scotten/2025

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.
