Wouldn't someone have noticed all the traffic on the network? And if the conversations were processed locally, wouldn't someone notice the energy and cooling needs of the processor in the bulb, not to mention the presence of a load of memory? This seems very implausible.

It seems to be a common thing, couching misogyny in the language of "protecting" or "defending" women. This stuff makes my skin crawl.

We all know that cops will try to charge you with assaulting them if you so much as shrug while being arrested. And they'll contrive situations just so they can do that. I'd say that makes their statistics meaningless without specific details and proof.

Trump will destroy it because it's icky stuff relating to women, and it serves to help women.

I find getting the LLM to either generate or rephrase documentation gives a distinctly worse result than doing it myself. I was in a hurry to document a new API from scratch recently and thought I'd try Copilot, but the results were overly verbose and sometimes inaccurate so I ended up rewriting all of it.

The LLM is best for boilerplate code that is easily predictable and verifiable. Beyond that it's sometimes good for initial suggestions if you don't know where to start with a tool, after which you can go to the actual documentation. But you'll need to do that, because half the time the suggestions use nonexistent APIs and methods.

I have always thought that writing code is the easy part of being a developer. The hard parts are the parts management doesn't appreciate: clarifying requirements, architecting new systems, translating business goals into something codable, letting egotistical know they're not making sense without offending them, designing effective testing processes, persuading management to prioritize reducing technical debt, and integrating and maintaining existing systems. Maintenance is a huge part of the job that no one gives you credit for. Oh, and if you ever touch the front end, CSS.

She said that there's been a 500 percent increase against ICE agents who are just "trying to do their jobs and remove public safety threats from... communities."

Exactly what the Nazis who ran extermination camps claimed.

Israel has killed 70 healthcare workers in 50 days. And they've been doing this for years, every time claiming it's not a deliberate policy. The world can see what Israel is, and its words are worthless.

Demanding mass punishment of Jews is a distinctly sub-optimal response to Laura Loomer advocating Nazi genocides.

Jewish people might have learned thatass murder is bad.

Just FYI, you have a typo: "ass murder" instead of "mass murder". It changes the sense a little.

The USA does have some oil, so what they said is true: by now the USA would be bombing the USA for money freedom.

They stand up for him in the most feeble, token way, once they're sure it won't affect the outcome. Then they'll regretfully run Cuomo.

It's hard to vote in a principled way knowing that it will lead to one more Conservative MP. We are in a bind with this electoral system, and of course the Liberals benefit most from it so will never change it.

That said, if the Liberals keep acting enough like Conservatives that people don't see a significant difference between their policies, it could undermine strategic voting and open the door to other parties.

This is performative worrying. Just ignore social media and do what you want. It's not worth wasting time on.

Well, surely just one little capitulation will win Trump's favour, and not sent him the message that Canada's weak and he should push for more, right?

Well, he lasted a good few weeks.

Replaced by the Conservatives who will try even harder to do everything Trump wants, because they have always wanted to turn Canada into the USA? We're in a bit of a sticky spot here.

Yes, end those subscriptions to US services, boycott US companies, do the work that Carney won't do.

Liberals will never save us. Unfortunately the electoral system screws us.

Didn't the USA have a trade agreement with Canada (NAFTA) which Trump ripped up during his first presidency? And then during that same presidency didn't Canada and the USA negotiate a new one (USMCA), which Trump ripped up during his second presidency?
