I actually came up with a pretty good test for transcription AI. Use the recordings of the public domain works on Librivox.org and compare the transcript to the public domain...

I prefer automation to intelligence. Baselines to predictive analytics.

How many times does the view for a table:

select * from table_name

get improved by using the synonyms?

Is this standards SQL?

recently the most annoying thing I'll hear from people online is that I "google" whatever they made a reference to. It is particularly useless now that google personalizes search results.

One of the things end users can do is baseline their applications.

I asked them to post data about the SQL Server type, and tweeted them to see if they would add the data for version (2008 R2, 2016, 2017)

Thanks for your review of your activities for the year. It really does highlight all the amazing effort and your significant contributions to this community!

Remember that chapter summaries of books make great blog posts 🙂
