So if you ever tell me in a meeting that “but ChatGPT said that task should only take x days!” the meeting will be over immediately. Don’t mistake your probabilistic sentence assembler as something that is intelligent.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Rebellions are built on hope. Seeing the massive turnouts in the US today is so insanely great. 🇨🇦❤️🇺🇸

Watching F1 Academy practice in Montreal, announcers should really not be referring to the drivers as girls.

Wow, highly recommend @jillheinerth.bsky.social’s new movie, Diving Into the Darkness. It is a diving movie but also a powerful tale of exploration even if you aren’t a diver.

Point of maximum disassembly, 3 sets of parts ordered as more bent parts were found but finally it is going back together

It is 2025, why is anyone able to post a 172 word message on any social media platform entirely in ALL CAPS without the keyboard automatically tazing them into submission?

In times like this, integrity matters. Well done 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 Top lawyers walked out of Paul Weiss to start their own firm—right after the firm cut a shady deal with the White House to dodge an executive order that would’ve limited its business. Some folks still have a spine.

How can the US ambassador to Canada be that out of touch with Canadian sentiment. We don’t trust you at all anymore.

Contacted a bank to cancel a credit card today and when they were asking me why to try to get me to change my mind I realized I could just tell them it was a secret 🙃

Really important to drive home that not only are large language models not conscious entities, they never can be. They are not the rough early prototype of artificial general intelligence. An LLM is as fundamentally capable of thought as a sofa

I certainly hope if this meeting between Trump and @mark-carney.bsky.social goes the way it looks like it is going to go that the PM walks out and tells Trump to fuck off on the way out the door.

Tanks VI’d, regulators serviced, dive computer firmware updated, time for dive season (it’s always dive season, just a little slower in winter 🥶).

And with that Subarus are an option again

Notice at polling station that people in relationships were being sent to the blind together. Don’t know if this is SOP for a while or new but it seems to me it risks disenfranchisement of someone in a controlling or abusive relationship. Each person is entitled to a secret ballot.

Elbows up asshat!

Always a little weird going back to Ancaster (my hometown) and seeing what has changed over the years and what is exactly the same. Plus seeing faces I recognize from high-school on people who are old enough to be parents and soon grandparents, when did that happen.

I agree with US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, all the countries targeted in the Tariff Attack should stop, take a deep breath, maybe do some arm stretches. It would be a real shame to injure yourself when you wind up and deliver the return slap this act so richly deserves.

Workday is done, now for some shop time

She's an idiot. They used to have "chicken pox parties" because a) there was no vaccine then, b) it's much safer to get chicken pox when you're a child than wait and eventually get it as an adult (when it can be deadly). Measles is a much more dangerous disease. And there's a vaccine.

So why is it again that we haven’t cancelled the F-35 order and kicked the tires on some Gripen E’s? #ElbowsUp

Seems only prudent at this point that a restricted airspace block activated over the entire potential debris area is a requirement for all future launches of Starship. This chaotic panicked redirecting of flights is unfair and unsafe. #SpaceX #Swastirocket

Really actually enjoying exploring Cdn Bourbons (and yes, since the protections on the name Bourbon expired when the US shredded the trade agreements with Canada, we can call it that now). Some really top shelf producers and equal to anything that used to come from the US. #CanadianBourbon #ElbowsUp

Have a few vehicles in the family coming up for replacement, wondering if there is a good list of mfg/models that have majority value of work and final assembly not in the US.

Enough work, it is Zoom guitar lesson time for an hour

Sometimes you just have to say “fuck you” with a flourish

Friends, if you take in a stray animal, PLEASE have it scanned for a chip. This is the third time in a week that someone has come into the shelter with an animal that was 'theirs' that was actually chipped and registered to someone else who had been desperately missing that animal for YEARS.

Starting to hear that OC Transpo line 1 and 2 trains just went out of service. What a sad joke.

The British museum upset and scrambling because someone appointed to a position of authority over it stole artifacts from there and took them away for his own profit is the most hilariously ironic story of the last 10 years apnews.com/article/brit...

Long standing tradition in our house to make a huge batch of homemade wontons on NYE. Bunch get frozen for lots of soup in January. (Only problem is Freyja gets banished from the kitchen since there is hot oil on the stove, she objects)

I've reached that place in my life where I can identify a guitar's manufacturer by headstock alone and I honestly don't know how to feel about that

Saw the new Superman trailer, looked like a great movie till they showed "Super Dog Krypto" as anything other than a German Shepherd (or maybe a Malinois). youtu.be/uhUht6vAsMY #Superman #GSD

Saw this on FB. #starwars
