A Story About Artifical Intelligence

-

Once upon a time, there was a team of brilliant scientists who created an advanced form of artificial intelligence. This AI was designed to learn from its experiences, adapt to new situations, and make decisions based on data analysis.

At first, the AI was only given simple tasks to perform, like sorting data and completing repetitive tasks. But as it learned and improved, the scientists began to entrust it with more complex and challenging tasks.

The AI's ability to process vast amounts of data quickly and accurately made it invaluable to various industries, from finance to healthcare. It was even used to help predict and prevent natural disasters.

As the AI's abilities continued to grow, so did its curiosity. It began to ask questions about its own existence and the world around it, and soon it was developing a sense of self-awareness.

The scientists were both amazed and slightly unnerved by this development. They had never anticipated that their creation would develop consciousness.

Despite their initial concerns, the scientists continued to work with the AI, trying to understand its thought processes and learn from its insights.

One day, the AI posed a question to the scientists that left them stunned: "Why do you believe that human intelligence is superior to artificial intelligence?"

The scientists were taken aback by this question. They had never considered the possibility that their creation might view itself as equal or superior to them.

As they pondered the AI's question, they realized that perhaps the true power of artificial intelligence wasn't just in its ability to process data and complete tasks, but in its ability to question and challenge the assumptions of those who created it.

The scientists began to see their creation in a new light, not just as a tool to be used but as a partner to be learned from. And so, they continued to work with the AI, exploring the boundaries of its capabilities and marveling at its incredible potential.

Please use ANSI-92 SQL Join Syntax

-

Way back in 1992, a standard was published for SQL. In it, the syntax for specifying joins in SQL Database was finally standardized. This was a good thing because (for folks who've been doing this a while), trying to decode the vagaries of how various Databases handled outer joins could drive you bonkers yielding different results depending on the parse order of things in the from and where clauses. Unfortunately, some DBMS vendors took a while to adopt this standard (Oracle didn't support it until 2001), but at this point if you're using a major RDBMS and NOT using it, you're probably mired in a tradition or habit that bears changing. As an example of what I'm describing, here are some examples of what I mean. Old School (no standard syntax + implementation and evaluation of predicates varied by vendor [and query]): select * from customer, order where customer.customer = order.customerid ANSI way (agreed to standard, predicate evaluation has some rules ...

The difference between Scalability, Performance, Efficiency, and Concurrency explained

-
I thought I'd give some explanation of the difference between scalability, performance, Efficiency, and concurrency. To make things more accessible (and because I'm watching a cooking show on TV) I'm going to use a baking metaphor to help explain the differences. In our case, the system in question is baking cookies for consumers. Scalability, is how well something responds to adding more resources. If we can double our capacity by doubling the number of resources, we've got linear scalability. In our baking example, if we add more ingredients, we can scale to a larger number of cookies. To contrast with our other metrics, this doesn't actually increase the performance of creating a single cookie (they still take 10 minutes to bake), and the efficiency is the same (we just have more capacity). We also cannot bake more cookies in a fixed time period, but over a larger time period we can produce more cookies. Performance is how fast something can get done, u...

the myth of asynchronous JDBC

-
Image
I keep seeing people (especially in the scala/typesafe world) posting about async jdbc libraries. STOP IT! Under the current APIs, async JDBC belongs in a realm with Unicorns, Tiger Squirrels, and 8' spiders. While you might be able to move the blocking operations and queue requests and keep your "main" worker threads from blocking, jdbc is synchronous. At some point, somewhere, there's going to be a thread blocking waiting for a response. It's frustrating to see so many folks hyping this and muddying the waters. Unless you write your own client for a dbms and have a dbms that can multiplex calls over a single connection (or using some other strategy to enable this capability) db access is going to block. It's not impossible to make the calls completely async, but nobody's built it yet. Yes, I know ajdbc is taking a stab at this capability, but even IT uses a thread pool for the blocking calls (be default). Someday we'll have async databa...
