Dr. Codd Was Right: 5Geee - part the second

Vaccinated ≠ Not Infectious

There's a fine line between one person and 10 people with H5N1. By the time we've detected 10, it's probably too late.
-- Rick Bright/2024 [read the report, and this]

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.
-- Drew Weissman/2022

To date, Microsoft is stating that organizations testing In-Memory OLTP have seen transaction speeds improve by up to 30 times compared to past performance, with the best performance gains achieved when the business logic resides in the database and not in the applications.
-- Jonathan Watts/2015 [my emphasis]

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

I believe quite strongly that, if you think about the issue at the appropriate level of abstraction, you're inexorably led to the position that databases must be relational.

-- Chris Date/2009

This week's thought

[A] three-judge trial judge panel sided with a group of 12 self-described "non-African American" [Louisiana] voters who alleged that their "personal dignity" had been injured because the new map with two Black-majority districts "racially stigmatizes," "racially stereotypes" and "racially maligns" them.
-- Tierney Sneed, et al/2024 [who said Jim Crow is dead?] br />

Therefore:

In a time of SSD, multi-core/processor, two terabyte memory and Optane App Direct Mode 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.

5Geee - part the second

Time, once again, to see where real 5G is at.

The earliest missive I can find (without working too hard) on the subject of high-band/mmWave/Ultrawideband is from 2018. And guess what? Little has gone differently from what was expected.

Here's a recent review of the state of play. In all, Verizon did in fact go nuts. And they're now going all in on C-band. Gee, who wooda thunk it? Too bad.
