all the criticism has been said, all the takes been had. the only metaphor i have been finding consistently useful for understanding what is happening with people and "AI" is addiction, and specifically gambling addiction.
The “Cooking With #DuckDB" e-book is progressing pretty well. 18 "cookbook-style" chapters that cover common use-cases with plenty of examples.
Spent some extra time on "Read Parquet File(s) From The Web" to peel back the covers on how DuckDB does remote Parquet ops so fast.
Now has a cover img & repo links: https://duckdb.hrbrmstr.app/
tl,dr; Scientists no longer allowed to use federal funding to publish, attend meetings, or talk to the public. They cannot collaborate internationally. Grants can be cancelled for any reason, at any time, political appointees have a final say over what gets funded, and who gets funded.

I still can't get over the fact that solar panels are silent and still
Like I taught pinball repair classes on power supplies and transformers etc, when electrons are pumped along a wire it's 'cause there's a spinning magnet pumping them along
I'm here gawping at these completely still, completely silent Things just pumping electrons along all 🦝 "BUT WHERE'S THE SPINNING MAGNET!" like a time traveller looking at a Land Rover and shouting "WHERE, is the HORSE,"
We don't need any Donato's here! Making a copycat chicken, provolone, spinach and tomato pizza.
Other one is half mozzarella cheese, half bacon and breakfast sausage.
I'm at a point where I need to start replacing some drives on a cold-storage box. It's currently a 8TB capacity from two 4 TB drives logically mapped together on Debian. I just use it as a second cold-storage site.
Any feedback on minimum 8 TB spinning platter drives (>=7200 rpm; SATA) that have good long-term performance records? The current drives are probably 8+ years old.
