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.

Mass layoffs have begun across the city's largest employer, tipping economic forecasts for the Washington, D.C., region toward recession. Real estate agents are bracing for a housing slump.
-- Campbell Robertson/2025 [as mentioned previously, private equity is licking its chops]
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

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.

... 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
If I were bird flu or whatever the next pandemic pathogen will be, this would be my exact playbook — decimate the federal science and health infrastructure. The shortsightedness is astounding. The number of cures we won't get and scientific advances we won't have as a result of these cuts are uncountable. -- Holly Fernandez Lynch/2025 [It's not nice to fuck with Mother Nature]
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.
