I didn't realize that genocide was one of Canada's priorities. Wish you'd let us know that before the election.

We have plenty of choices, honestly, and that's our only source of leverage. The US is relying on this mentality to bully us into doing whatever they want. I'm not saying they're not important or that we can ignore them, but can and need to decouple from them so this never happens again.

"I thought you were a lib, despite the fact that you've said, several times, in plain, searchable text AND out loud with your actual voice, that you are not, in fact, a lib."

That one strap is doing a lot of work. It's very impressive. And it looks great on you!

Your description of this makes me so mad my game was cancelled. Not the same, but our traversal was SO GOOD.

I used the hell out of Usenet (I miss Usenet a lot, actually) but I kinda missed Myspace somehow. But this is basically accurate for me too.

I think we should peg fines to the net worth of the person. Otherwise, those schemes just punish poor people with heavy vehicles.
When I lived in Montreal there was a guy that parked his Lambo illegally every friday evening by the clubs. A $350 parking ticket was just what parking COST to him.

Sure, I think they manage okay with some domains. But they’re not agi and it’s really not clear to me that stochastic models like this can ever reason, even in the far future.

I love that the so-called reasoning models are actually just WORSE. Like, total collapse, barely uses any tokens, worse than the 'basic' models, which are also shit.
LLMs can only solve things THAT WE ALREADY SOLVED. Just make it easier for me to find where we already solved it!

The questions are either too simple or too esoteric. Gotcha questions aren’t fun, and neither is doing live programming. I’m not a fan of any of it.

Like, yes, I can write something to traverse a binary tree, but I probably shouldn’t. There are libraries for that. And even if I did, probably the simple recursive version is best; we shouldn’t have data sets that might stack overflow because the tree is too deep.

Didn’t we always used to arrive a day early and kinda chill?

And as a (game) programmer, I value making more than knowing, broadly speaking. If you have a single knower in your group, that’s usually sufficient. If you have a single maker, good luck shipping anything.

Interestingly, I often see writers of fiction say their fans know more about the lore than they do. I think this also shows the primacy of making—even the creator isn’t necessarily going to bother with remembering the minutiae (unless it needs to be made into something else).

A baby spider ballooned onto me while I was sitting on the beach today and it was so precious. I found it some nice shrubs to hunt in.

Vaccine injury is real; I have a friend that basically can’t do a massive number of them for some reason. But that’s all the more reason for the rest of us to be vaccinated. It’s a bad question, because it’s both true AND not an excuse.

This part was the worst. “He doesn’t hate you, he just SAYS he hates you AND embodies it in his very soul. lol”

The particularly worrisome thing is there’s an actual other human in the house. There’s a high chance that he does actually suck, but wow.

Pretty much all of us with undiagnosed/untreated adhd.

And he wants to do HIS job. The fact that he’s reading things and asking for better summaries is heartening. Maybe he’s in the weeds, but working out what details are and aren’t important is a good way to approach one’s work.

Same, but I’d still prefer my gorgeous, mountainous province had a train. Driving from the Okanagan to Vancouver is fine, but I’d like to be able to watch the mountains and lakes instead of the road. And then once I actually get to the outskirts of Vancouver I’m just shouting at everyone.

My partner has had chronic migraine since we met. She developed awful hypothyroidism a few years back and thinking about how hard it would be for her to get treatment and stay housed or any of that without me is soul crushing. I absolutely could not live with myself if I abandoned her.

So many cars here! So many! I’ve parked my rental and I won’t be using it until I leave, hopefully.

The province deserves a train to cover the countryside—it’s really so beautiful. From Vancouver across the Okanagan. But if I have to own a vehicle, it’s not gonna be any sort of crossover or SUV if I can help it.
Predictably, once I got to Vancouver, driving was literally the worst.

They have less storage than a good station wagon, they use more gas, the driving dynamics are terrible. Bring back the Volvo and Subaru and VW station wagons.
Like, this Hyundai Elantra isn’t fancy, but it was good on gas (5.5L/100km) and it did highway bends pretty well.

Also: ACAB. These dumb motherfuckers wouldn’t know the law if it bit them in the ass, but somehow they’re still entrusted with enforcing it.

That said, do it how is best for you, I think it’s easiest for us to adapt for now.

The problem is YouTube, not you. In my browser, it’s fine, but the interface on my AppleTV makes sifting through videos annoying. If YouTube was half as interested in my user comfort as promoting their algorithmic suggestions, I’d never think about it.
