Apple Intelligence has been available for a couple of weeks now, but the work continues. Apple recently pushed out the second iOS 18.2 developer beta, which reveals more about how ChatGPT integration will work with iPhones running Apple Intelligence.

In the U.S., "Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger confirmed Tuesday a bomb threat was made against a polling place, but he said it was of Russian origin and not credible."

“They’re up to mischief it seems,” he added, about the Russians. “They don’t want us to have a smooth, fair and accurate election.”

It's time for my annual tradition! Here is my retrospective of the last year in the world of databases: https://ottertune.com/blog/2023-databases-retrospective

Major highlights include vector databases, MariaDB Corporation problems, SQL:2023, the FAA database crash, and the most expensive password change ever.

Really excited to see @andy_pavlo 's lecture series on modern OLAP databases on YouTube again. I watched it last spring and it was an awesome overview of what makes analytical databases like @duckdb fast.

@Gargron so excited to see this happening! Seems like we are benefitting the most of all the #fediverse from the falling bird -- hoping we leave #bluesky in the dust (personally think Dorsey should have just given @Mastodon a boat load of cash). Any thoughts on why we are benefiting more than other networks? Do you plan on posting something more long form on your thoughts about this amazing #momentInTime ?

Hey, so, we've hit 1,028,362 monthly active users across the network today. 1,124 new Mastodon servers since Oct 27, and 489,003 new users. That's pretty cool.

Other than maybe #Pleroma or #WordPress with the ActivityPub plugin, are there any other #Fediverse projects that support multiple post types/kinds/objects so that one could have *one* Fediverse home instead of 10?: http://stream.boffosocko.com/2022/other-than-maybe-pleroma-or-wordpress-with-the-activitypub-plugin
