I was lucky enough to get to one of those drive thru vacation clinics in Kingston. They were great, so well organized. I hope this gets sorted out quick for Dr Ma.

Yeah, I’m sure it’s for auditing and being able to respond to freedom of information requests etc

I agree. Very few people in industry are claiming that LLMs will become AGI. The release of o1 demonstrates that even OpenAI are pivoting from pure LLM approaches. It was always going to be a framework approach that utilizes LLMs.

Happy cake day! And that’s a brilliant idea

This really whips the llama’s ass

The sub’s implosion was probably Clippy’s fault

Oracle Sales Lawyers are the worst

CAUKUS just rolls of the tongue

MicroPython is good for limited hardware projects.

To be fair, there are definitely parts of Canada that are broken, like my dishwasher in Belleville Ontario

Whoever filled the patent obviously didn’t consider the optics of this. I’m in the market for a new car and was considering a Ford. This will factor into my decision.

That’s a strawman. I never said the US was operating in a completely free market, I used the VC example because it’s relatable. We all remember when Uber and Amazon were cheap and we were told that these new cheap prices were the new norm. Then the VC capital ran out in the case of Uber and the online market was monopolized in the case of Amazon and the prices are now higher because existing competition was destroyed.

It will help keep prices competitive in the long term. Chinese EV makers aren’t competing in a free market as they are heavily subsidized by the government. It’s no different from what Silicon Valley VCs do, pump loads of capital into a new industry so that it’s difficult for any competitors to emerge. Once a company has a monopoly on a market innovation suffers, products stagnate or actively get worse, prices increase with a lack of competition, and the consumer suffers. In the case of EVs, there is the added issue of manufacturing capacity which is important for security. While I would love a cheap new EV now, I would prefer for my children to have sustainable cheap EVs in the future.

It could also be that Berliners are apparently collecting them 😂

I’m surprised that Tailscale can’t get through, cleaver routing is one of Tailsacle’s features. Though I do sometimes have connection issues with Tailscale when running DNS-over-HTTPS on my laptop.

I wonder what impact these kinds of government protections have on artificially inflating the property prices in BC

Where are you getting that 500K killed number from? That’s a lot higher than any legitimate sources

I never assumed you didn’t have exposure to conservatives and I didn’t assume you wouldn’t have encountered the example I provided. I’m not arguing from ignorance. If some part of my argument isn’t clear please feel free to ask questions instead of making assumptions. I’m happy to continue the conversation and I’m sorry if I came across as dismissive.

I appreciate this discourse and your thoughtful responses. These kind disagreements are what we need more of. I still disagree that supporting trump necessarily means condoning racism as depending on what issues you prioritize, it may be a case of choosing the lesser of two evils.
