IFF AI, as currently implemented, can intuit Special Relativity from just a clock tower and a moving tram will I take AI seriously.
If the MAGAnauts push the woke Blue states into their United States of Alabama, who will make the neat stuff?
Unitary Executive ≡ Dictator
The world is not linear.
-- Dr. McElhone/1974
Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely.
-- Lord Acton/1887
Effective immediately, all laws, regulations, and obsolete norms limiting my authority over federal govenment employment are suspended. I am the unitary executive, and if you work for the federal government, you work for me. I demand total loyalty from my employees.
-- Donald J. Trump by Executive Order, this day 7 December 2025 [Paranoia is a main driver.]
Here, too, powerful people are responding to authoritarian advances just as their Hungarian counterparts have — not with defiance, but with capitulation, convinced that they can maintain their independence and stay above the fray.
-- David Pressman/2025 [former Amb. there - a cautionary tale]
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]

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.
-- Linus Torvalds/2007
-- Chris Date/2009
This Week's thought
That kind of honest, fact-based analysis is exactly what we should want from our intelligence agencies, regardless of whether it flatters the White House narrative. When expertise is cast aside and intelligence is distorted or silenced, our adversaries gain the upper hand and America is left less safe. -- Sen. Mark Warner/2025 [BLS, now DIA. Kim Donjon knows all]
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.
