Prince is claiming they laid off very few SWEs, I know at least an entire team of SWEs.

Does https://github.com/webmachinelearning/webmcp overlap ?

I would bet Chinese models will be much harder to poison and the fact the Chinese populace is much more pro-AI than the West.

"I'm speaking from personal experience, having spent about 12-14 hours a day on TikTok for probably 360 days during 2024"

My jaw is on the floor... Can you provide details of your usage, were you just going through video after video for 12-14 hours or were you involved in content production or something?

I have had this discussion with my wife, men need activities more than women to bond. My wife can make friends just by randomly running into other women at events or my daughter's activities.

Just speculation but maybe the fact the world is in an oil glut right now and with the prospect that Russian oil could re-enter global market causing even more glut caused Ford to believe that gasoline will remain fairly cheap compared to 2008 era for the next decade.

I am actually surprised they cancelled the F150 Lightning, I see a lot of them the Metro Vancouver area where a lot of contractors, (gardeners, pool maintenance, labourers, etc...) are driving them as electricity is super cheap here and gasoline is quite expensive.

What a waste... I like the style of it, still works fine after 10 years and it works with old furnaces. The environmentalists should be all over Google for this debacle.

Meaning similar to Erlang style message passing?

As soon as Cody Kociemba open sources his firmware I'm going to apply it to my Nest 1st gen. It is ridiculous Google is turning off the support, it is probably because they don't want to support the old API or something...

No sorry, I just missed it...

I'm surprised they don't mention bats, every summer night they fly within a foot of my head and some poor guy died on Vancouver Island,

Canada use to build social housing but stopped around 1995[1] and the housing affordability situation deteriorated over the next 30 years[2].

I have a neighbor who is functionally blind and he considering getting a pair to help him identify objects he picks up.

In CBO’s projections, the federal budget deficit in fiscal year 2025 is $1.9 trillion. Adjusted to exclude the effects of shifts in the timing of certain payments, the deficit grows to $2.7 trillion by 2035. It amounts to 6.2 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2025 and drops to 5.2 percent by 2027 as revenues increase faster than outlays

IMO, 5%+ percent of gross domestic product (GDP) in a country with massive trade deficits is not sustainable.

I have found ChatGPT is pretty good at explaining topics when the source documentation is poorly written or lacks examples. Obviously it does make mistakes so skepticism in the output is a good idea.

Then explicitly say "PG should stick to topics in his domain", don't use a generic term that indicates low IQ...

"He then received a Master of Science in 1988, and a Doctor of Philosophy in 1990, both in computer science from Harvard University."

Anyone with a PhD Comp Sci from Harvard is automatically very smart in my mind, unless by "smart" you mean something else...

I am skeptical that Elon/Vivek will actually cut any Federal spending as the only administration to actually reduce the number of Federal gov jobs was President Clinton from 1992 to 1997.

What I find very interesting is that in the early 1990s when the deficit hit 4.5% of GDP (1992) Congress actually viewed it as a major issue and decided to cut spending but now the deficit is above 6%+ of GDP and reducing spending is an extremely controversial topic.

Including Canada (100%) affects the Tesla built in Shanghai that were being imported into Canada.

NASA and SpaceX should start architecting a Deep Space Network 2.0 relying on more space based relays so that we do need to rely on giant ground based antennae.

Put a relay at the Lagrange point.

We do know MMRV causes more seizures in kids than MMR and countries (like Canada) still choose to administer the vaccine with riskier outcomes due to costs and the fact parents don’t like to come back for more shots.

What is the end game for the war?

I personally don’t believe the millions of Ukrainians who have left are going to return.

Secondly how does the Ukraine military recruit new young troops when the prospects of victory are so slim and Ukraine is slowly being ground down and losing territory.

The only polls that matter are for Pennsylvania, as a Canadian I find it quite interesting 1 State out of 52 will decide the election.

I spent 10 years+ in this suburb, it is filled with medium/large SFD homes built in the 70-80s, very family oriented. It doesn't seem economical to buy expensive SFD and build condos but maybe I am wrong.

The newer communities in Calgary were master planned to include SFD, Townhouses and Condos/Apartments, Lake Bonavista was built when density was not on the radar of any city planner as Calgary was 1/3 the size.

That is a really good point, just a matter of time until a EV Semi catches fire under a bridge or overpass and causes massive structural damage.

What about 1gbps fiber at home, it is becoming common in Canada. I have 1gbps up/down.

Well that will increase our streaming costs by 5%

The Han Dynasty peaked around 1AD and fell into decline as there were weak Emperors (usually extremely young) and eventually collapsed in terrible internal conflict.

And none of them build AI companies in Toronto.

I’m Canadian and disappointed at how ineffective we are at building successful companies.
