CERN Animal Shelter for Computer Mice

"Stop — Think — Click"... ...is the basic recommendation for securely browsing the Internet and for securely reading emails.

How to ingest 1B rows/s in ClickHouse

After seeing the engineers at Tesla talk about 1B row/s ClickHouse ingestion, I wanted to see if I could do it myself. A few weeks ago, I saw a talk from Tesla claiming they were ingesting 1B rows per second using ClickHouse. I'm a petrolhead but I don't have any reason to think they are lying :). One (American) billion rows per second might feel like a lot, so let me try to explain how you can achieve that using ClickHouse. I'm not sure what ClickHouse flavor Tesla uses, but I don't think that

ClickHouse matches PG for single-row UPDATEs and 4000 x faster for bulk UPDATEs

TL;DR · On identical hardware and data, ClickHouse matches PostgreSQL for single-row UPDATEs and is up to 4,000× faster in our tests for bulk UPDATEs. · Why it matters: Bulk updates are common in OLTP workloads, and ClickHouse’s columnar design + parallelism make them far faster. · Caveat: PostgreSQL is fully transactional by default; ClickHouse isn’t. Results compare each engine’s native execution model, not identical transaction guarantees. PostgreSQL is the most popular open-source

Does OLAP Need an ORM

TL;DR · ORMs have proven to be useful for many developers in the OLTP/transactional stack (Postgres, MySQL, etc). · OLAP/analytical databases like ClickHouse could potentially benefit from ORM abstractions. · Existing transactional ORMs probably shouldn’t be extended to OLAP due to fundamental differences in semantic meaning between OLTP and OLAP. · Moose OLAP (part of MooseStack) is an open source, MIT-licensed implementation of an ORM-like interface for ClickHouse, inspired by tran

Google search boss says AI isn’t killing search clicks

Google has often bristled at the implication that its obsession with AI search is harming web traffic, and now search head Liz Reid has penned a blog post on the topic. According to Reid, clicks aren't declining, AI is driving more searches, and everything is fine on the Internet. But despite the optimistic tone, the post stops short of providing any actual data to back up those claims. This statement feels like a direct response to a recent Pew Research Center analysis that showed searches wit

Google denies AI search features are killing website traffic

Numerous studies indicate that the shift to AI search features and the use of AI chatbots are killing traffic to publishers’ sites. But Google on Wednesday denied that’s the case, at least in aggregate. Instead, the search giant says that total organic click volume from its search engine to websites has been “relatively stable” year-over-year and that average click quality has slightly increased. “This data is in contrast to third-party reports that inaccurately suggest dramatic declines in agg
