This......isn't true? It was trained on databases including chemistry knowledge and if you query it, it will regurgitate that knowledge in the facsimile of an answer that may or may not be factually correct.

ChatGPT taught itself to do advanced chemistry. It wasn't built into the model. Nobody programmed it to learn complicated chemistry. It decided to teach itself, then made its knowledge available to anyone who asked. Something is coming. We aren't ready.

@frasergeorgew Did any of the DuckDB queries spill to disk or did the whole benchmark run in-core?

How fast is DuckDB compared to the best commercial data warehouses? I decided to benchmark it myself. Short version: very fast! But it's not (yet) great at scaling up to many cores. fivetran.com/blog/how-fast-…

@mim_djo @teej_m From looking at your performance numbers and checking out some of the SF query plans, it looks like they also do an excellent job executing star schema optimizations.
In at least one of the plans aggressive (bloom?) filters resulted in scanning only 0.2% of the lineitem fact.

PEMDAS actually solves for the inline division symbol bc you render the product of the numerator & denominator before dividing them... M is before D... c'mon people. The answer is 1. If the answer was 9 it'd have to be written (6÷2)(1+2)

You almost always want jsonlines because it's very efficient to stream reads and writes.
The format enables very low memory consumption for arbitrarily large files. It also enables programs to easily pause io at record boundaries which is a major boon to concurrency.
