With the same 43 million entries loaded (with correct types) into a local PostgreSQL, a SQLite, and a @duckdb, without manually creating any indexes, I run the following simple query, and here is the timing result:
Postgres: 3.5s
SQLite: 6.7s
DuckDB: 0.0067s
Pure magic.

Today in the seventh month of nationwide protests in Iran, the people of #Zahedan once again came to the streets and shouted:
"Mullahs Should Go to Hell."
The revolution of the Iranian people to overthrow the Islamic Republic is still ongoing.

Afgelopen jaar ging er wereldwijd $1 biljoen aan subsidie naar de fossiele sector. Dit is meer dan twee keer zoveel als dat er naar hernieuwbare energie ging.
Vanuit deze optiek zijn we (netto) nog niet eens begonnen met klimaatbeleid...

This paper is a preview of the potential disruption from AI.
The jobs that are most exposed to AI are the ones that require the most education, are the most creative & earn the most. This is a population that never faced a major automation threat before. https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4414065

This new study is eye-opening.
The authors compared Physicians vs AI Chatbot responses to patient questions posted to a public social media forum.
The results?
Patients preferred ChatGPT 79% of the time. 79%! 🤯
Not only AI responses were rated of higher quality but also more… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1652318793777963013

In Myanmar werd de democratisch gekozen president in de gevangenis gegooid door het leger. Voor Heineken was het geen reden om weg te gaan.

This is quite the paper!
It gave 25 AI agents motivations & memory, and put them in a simulated town.
Not only did they engage in complex behavior (including throwing a Valentine’s Day party) but the actions were rated more human than humans roleplaying. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2304.03442.pdf
