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.
OK Shitler Show us the wire transfers from China for tariffs
The world is not linear.
-- Dr. McElhone/1974
Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely.
-- Lord Acton/1887
Mr. Trump also said that during their meeting Mr. Karp had "acknowledged the wrongdoing of former Paul Weiss partner Mark Pomerantz." Mr. Pomerantz had tried to build a criminal case against Mr. Trump several years ago while working at the Manhattan district attorney's office. [my emphasis]
-- Matthew Goldstein, et al/2025
There's not a single example of things working out for the appeaser.

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

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.
