100 GB of emails? The heck are these people sending?

Time to axe the section of our law that mirrors DMCA 1201 (the anti circumvention section). We were forced to put it in place to maintain tariff-free trade with the US, but I don’t see a reason to keep it in place anymore.

US tech oligarch would sure hold a lot fewer cards if that happened.

I think I have to disagree on this one. Whether or not you believed it would work is irrelevant. The malicious intent is what matters here. You happened to find a supernaturally accursed notebook titled “Death Note” and you decide to write someone’s name in it? That already crosses the moral line imo, independent of any actual effects.

Counterarguments welcome.

GPUs are specialized to be able to very quickly manipulate vectors, by using a principle called Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD). Where a CPU would have to individually operate on each element of a vector, a GPU can operate on all the elements in one go.

So maybe you could call it a SIMD card or Vector Accelerator or something like that.

I wonder how many of those “empty” condos are listed on airbnb right now.

Trek you yourself wreck before yourself.

Got a nice ring to it. Very logical.

Fair, but then again, iOS autocorrect isn’t exactly not AI.

Most people aren’t taking the time to type in ctrl+shift+u+2+0+1+4 when a regular minus-dash would get the point across with a single keystroke. But there is enough of a distinction that some people (like you and I) will use the proper punctuation when there is an opportunity to do so.

What I find far more suspicious is the unicode hyphen, because no human would be able to tell the difference, and would therefore always choose to input a minus.

The amount of corruption uncovered by this investigation up to now is bad enough, but it really seems like we’re looking at the tip of an iceburg.

My intuition says it’s probably LLM training. AI companies have been increasingly DDoSing the entire web for a while now.

From the library of Jurgen Leitner, no doubt.

“Just let me pander to these fringe extremists so they stop wanting to leave my party”

Better idea. Don’t do that. Tell the fringe extremists to kick bricks, set the UCP on fire, and let the rest of us have 4 years of actual prosperity under the NDP.

Imagine basing your appeal on the equivalent of a courtroom seance. This is the world we live in.

It would be exceedingly rare for one party to get enough votes to form a majority under PR.

But beyond that, we have the non-partisan senate, the governor general, and the Charter (via the judicial branch) to all act as obstacles to unjust legislation. Canada is no stranger to majority governments under our current system, and the checks 'n balances have worked pretty well so far, for the most part.

Barring a trump-style lunatic jacking up the executive branch (which can absolutely happen, that’s something us citizens have to be careful not to vote for), PR should make it slightly harder for tyranny of the majority to happen. Take a look at New Zealand in 1996 for a relatively recent example of PR adoption and how their voting patterns have changed after the switch.

Odds are pretty damn good, I’d say.

Still, it’s a distinction barely worth making. Garden varity pigs doing this shit are equally as unjust as brand name Pigs doing it.

I’m interested to know how that works. Can amazon not treat the addressee as the “importer” like Canada Post can?

Jesus christ. Ford’s idea of a “nation building project” is a half-baked scheme to hide some of Toronto’s traffic underground.

If Carney treats that as a serious proposition, he might as well give the western separatists what they want, too.

“Do people really use it for that?”

“Yeah, it’s mostly that.”

That would work.

I’m not sure what could be in (or missing from) your environment that would break sudo, but it’s a place to check at least.

The referendum thing is an unmistakable nod towards the separatists. It basically halves the number of ultraconservative fanatics she needs to round up in order to make her “national unity crisis” momentarily appear like it wasn’t completely made up.
