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.
-- Nicolle Wallace/2024
We are now buddies with the Axis of Evil.
-- Claire McCaskill/2025 [Good News!! Make America White Again]
A rebuke from the nation's highest court in his wished-for war with the nation's federal courts could well cripple Mr. Trump's presidency and tarnish his legacy. And Chief Justice Marshall's assertion that it is the duty of the courts to say what the law is will be the last word. -- Dr. McElhone/1974

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.

NATO's enlargement, which, as Rahm Emanuel likes to point out, wasn't a case of the Atlantic Alliance moving east but of the Eastern Bloc moving west out of a well-placed fear of Russia. -- Bret Stephens/2025 [Russian political paranoia is centuries olde, on to Poland!]
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.
