Canada is not really independent of the USA. The better way to view this is that Canada is like California. This is not a battle between countries but an internal civil conflict within the hegemony.

And your reply does not touch on the 'unkind' portion of my comment. Why should those workers suffer more than they already have?

The current Canadian prime minister is Mark Carney. He is an international banker. I think you have your answer.

This is unkind and also factually wrong.

Canada literally has an EV mandate: https://tc.canada.ca/en/road-transportation/innovative-techn...

Canada has also worked on developing an EV industry: https://electricautonomy.ca/ev-supply-chain/manufacturing/20...

Here is another Canadian Gosling that has also found itself south of the border

Cheap positioning for construction projects.

The punishment is labour.

Modern overlay systems support alpha compositing. The video is placed behind and the elements (toolbar etc) are in front with an alpha hole.

This is simply wrong. Videos are still rendering in overlays in windows in Chrome right now. There are many reasons why overlays are still used.

I dont mean to contradict myself but big mac index also doesnt show the true inflation either. This is because it should be easier to make a big make in 2025 than in 1995 due to automation.

I think the big mac index is far more accurate gauge of inflation than the B(L)S numbers published by the government.

"when presented with the choice most people still pick the cheapest option." I actually dont think this is correct. I think when faces with the choices they have they choose the cheaper option. This is not the same thing.

I have never had anybody make this reference before!

Light doesnt interact with itself directly without a third non-light partner. So yes the light of course needs to interact with lattice made of atoms to make any switching possible here. This is why we can see light from the stars though it had to travel through other light for millions of years.

The USA and the west in general is 40 years deep into this crisis and recent developments have not actually made a shift in that trajectory.

1. Ok then what do you make? 2. A bit too late for that given that China is also highly automated. 3. You would have to be serious for this to work.

As for your responses. 1 who is "us" 3. I mean some would be automated etc. There is actually data on how little the cost of labor adds to different parts of manufacturing. 2. You at least have a sustainable economy (I dont mean that in an environmental sense)

Or you could have trade borders.

Thank you for this article. Are the graphs images? and how were they generated?

Yes this is just the GPU programming model without the hw perks (subgroups etc). Im impressed if he came up with it on his own but its pretty clear from the article that he didnt.

The GPU model works because the GPU is just wide SIMD with automagical scheduling.

To apply this to the CPU might be misguided unless you use SIMD aka like ISPC.

Does this count suicides? Does this count fault?

I dont think Canadians are worried about sections in the bill targeting foreign actors or even equipment. I think Canadians are worried about the sections that suggests individuals (citizens) can be denied access to telecommunications by a secret order of their government stemming from the decision of a single minister.

Every law is always wrapped in a package of anti-terrorism, cyber security, or protect the kids. This is a given. Let us not pretend not to know whats going on here.

Hasnt this already been done in Canada? Without this bill? Without the secrecy?

The nature of the bill is that a minister can remove services from specified person without any interaction with due process. They can also make this directive secret indefinitely. Is such power required? Could it be abused?

Is it plausible? I wouldnt give these people the benefit of the doubt. In Canada we also have the emergency powers ... so if we had a war we would already have the "weaponry".

If you have precompiled SPIR-V you can simply use SpirvReader to go to wgsl.

This probably wont help at all when it comes to the cost of compilation. WGSL -> SPIR-V is very fast. It is the pipeline compilation that is slow (aka whatever happens in the drivers).

What if it is more like Vegeta's super saiyan 2. A false super saiyan 2 form. Just like the real SS2 maintains both power and agility the real Übermensch will attain new levels of IQ while maintaining if not advancing a strong EQ.

I like perspectives that are based on a historical understanding.

There is an evolution from Luther to the Internet. But lets not pretend to know a reversal when we see it.

I also cringed at your list.

"what about election-denialism"

I dont think I can help you.

> We should return to the old way, it wasn't perfect, but it worked for 100s of years

At this stage you are clearly just trolling. Are you even aware of the last 100s of years? From Luther to Marx? You are not acting in good faith. I want nothing to do with your ahistorical worldview.

Arguing online about the merits of free speech is as paradoxical as having discussions about free will.
