Terrible idea, that new country would instantly realize how awful it is needing to negotiate for oil when you have zero local sources of it.

The US has Texas, and Canada has Alberta.

You do not wanna form any kind of new pseudo country that doesn't have oil in 2025, you will have some serious issues within a couple years.

The only people that talk about any states or provinces separating are the people too ignorant of just how deeply they are dependent on all the rest of their country's exports, imports, and production.

Yes, even backwater places have an absolute fuck tonne of stuff they produce that you depend on every Just because you might think mineral mines, farms, oil, steel factories, forestry, etc etc isnt of major value, it is and you literally depend on it daily

You cant break out from that, but too many people have become too deeply dumb to grok how fucked their life would become if their specific state/province seperated.

You're cost of living would fucking skyrocket to levels you cant even imagine. So much random shit you currently take for granted still being affordable would vaporize as you suddenly realize "Oh yeah I guess we dont make that here locally do we, where does that come from? Shit it comes from there? I never knew they made this stuff, I use it every day! Now I cant have it at all? I can still, it just costs a lot more and is imported? Well how much does it cost? (spit take) IT COSTS HOW MUCH NOW?!?!"

Not easily, and not at the time, no, it really was a very easy way to quickly reduce bot problems at the time.

You'd get random spam for stuff that could flood your forums or etc, and setting up captcha had an extremely immediate and palpable effect on reducing the spam that came in from random bot farms and shit.

I can personally confirm that when I implemented captcha on my forums i maintained 14 years ago, it pretty substantially reduced spammers by a huge degree.

I can personally confirm it very much did help curb botting issues on my website.

It's a free service that's been provided to website makers to easily add a way to reduce bot spam. And for a very long time, it worked

Captcha got tonnes of free training data, and in return website maintainer got an incredibly handy free tool to help secure their site.

Captcha 100% could have charged licensing for their tool, could charged money for developers to use their service.

They didn't, and I think it's perfectly reasonable they got the training data as "payment" instead.

Your favorite free websites you use get to have another part of their architecture stay free.

The website maintainer get an awesome free tool.

Captcha got training data to profit off of.

That's good internet where everyone wins without the need for bullshit licensing and fees and royalties and subscriptions.

Would you have rather your Netflix account cost an extra 15 cents per month or whatever to offset yet another licensing cost for some captcha tool?

For those not aware:

This is the sector that handles nuclear fissile materials including the warhead stockpiles and the nuclear reactors

sent American technology stocks plummeting

Oh yeah, thats what did it, totally

Canada also needs to spin up a full on poaching program and asylum program.

Any US citizen with a fairly clean criminal record (with anything legal in Canada ignored, IE possession of weed would be ignored as that's legal here) ca apply for immediate Canadian citizenship as long as they renounce America

Priority given to anyone with any form of valuable skills, degrees, tickets, certificates, etc

If you can build houses, you get in and can start work ASAP.

We need to simply poach the US's valuable workforce at a time like this, which instantly will drag down their overall economy.

All your best scientists? Teachers? Engineers? Developers? Architects? Plumbers? Electricians? Doctors, nurses, surgeons? You name it, we should poach it right now on a fast track, watch as the US suddenly watches huge swaths of its work force evaporate.

Follow up with just cutting off trade with the US for as long as it takes. Completely sever their energy, oil, food, lumber, etc supply.

The entire north will quickly dry up as suddenly food skyrockets in price.

Finally end respecting of US patents and trademarks. Start quickly making our own versions of drugs patented in the US, but way cheaper.

Want our cheap drugs and better medical systems? Our poaching asylum system is ready for you.

Imagine if an H100 is a nuclear reactor, and the process of training an AI is like shipping a nuclear core to the plant to be burnt.

99.999999999% of the energy happens inside the plant.

Python vs C++ vs rust vs whatever merely is picking what type of delivery truck you use to ship the core to the plant.

Also the trip is very short, like maybe 2 miles.

So changing what vehicle you move the core from A to B with has almost zero impact on total power spent.

This entire article puts the blame on Harris

It doesn't even touch on all the issues around potential tampering with votes, gerrymandering, interference with voters, and how the votes for Trump had substantially odd statstical erratica in their results in swing states.

Trudeau is out, we are voting in a new leader shortly

Hopefully they vote someone in who unironically would challenge dipshits to boxing matches

They literally have meetings, and Trump obviously cares about conservatives willing to help him grift being in charge...

So many people are extremely missing the point here

Trump is purposefully threatening Canada to give his canadian conservative buddy Poilievre something to "fight" against, to make him look good

"Wow Poilievre is standing up against Trump, I'm gonna vote for him!"

That's the game plan, in reality the two dipshits are best buds and can collude together to fuck over both countries extra hard, after conservatives get a majority over here.

It's a stunt to get conservatives in charge over here "against" Trump, which is so fucking stupid and yet it's probably gonna work cuz so many people are gonna fall for it.

I don't think the liberal party has a good play against it, other than if our new liberal leader challenges Trump and musk to a boxing match and literally bears the shit out of them on live television

I unironically think the Lincoln "I'll fight you let's go right now" leader who seriously fucks up Musk or Zuckerberg or any of those dipshits on live television would actually win by a landslide here

It's fuckin stupid but that's what works apparently...

Adding inline documentation to symbols, such that the LSP will display ot when you interact with them.

Code comments on stuff, "Use this method to x, params do this, returns that, throws this" etc etc

For those of us using the tools, actively, it doesn't seem to be a bubble.

For a lot of us it's already showing tangible measurable productivity increases, primarily on boring stuff normally we'd hate doing.

As an example, I use it often to help with documenting my code, it's really good at summarizing what my code does abd making clear, legible, professional documentation for all my code.

That sorta stuff would normally take me hours and hours to do, now it takes about 1.

I still proof read it, but a lot of my typing and formatting and humming and hawwing is gone.

There's a lotta shit like that out there getting streamlined more and more every month that goes by.

I think it's maybe 50/50 bubble and actual value. Lots of garbage "products" vaporware out there by people on the bandwagon.

But also a lot of the tools truly are useful to folks.

If it's not too too heavy, I'm not opposed.

Bigger screen will make touchscreen typing on a keyboard less of a PITA

Some games require rarely typing into the on screen keyboard, and as much as I like my ROG Ally, the small screen makes the onscreen keyboard a real pain to type on

Honestly what I'd like is a secondary N64 style center back handle that I can hold with 1 hand while I type with the other, to make the typing way more stable.

Awkwardly holding it out on the left side way off center fulcrums it as I type, which makes it less stable. You need some genuine wrist strength to fight against that lever action while typing.

So, instead, I usually awkwardly rest it in my lap while I try and type so it's stable at least. But this moves the screen a lot farther away so now I gotta squint at the small ass letters as I aim and type. Makes me feel like a goddamn boomer having to adjust my glasses and squint at the screen.

So... yeah I dunno, I feel like this is something that could use a better solution.

I guess I could use my Tap XR... 🤔

The core if it boils down to, when emulating older machines, is the consoles processor speaks language A, and our computers all speak language B

The emulator has to translate back and forth between A<->B faster than the speed the original processors would've just spoken A

So translating A<->B is a way tougher task than just reciting A. So you need a tremendously better CPU than what the console had to emulate it.

It's kinda like, Dropping a rock in a pile of sand is easy. Simulating dropping that rock into the pile of sand in real time accurately is really challenging.

Fundamentally good CEOs expect a wage based on the market.

There's tonnes of high paying positions so, no, non profits truly will struggle to find an actually good CEO if they dont offer a competitive wage.

It's not their fault, it's the lack of regulation on all the for-profits and the fact they can funnel so much money up to CEOs unchecked.

If for-profits had regulatory checks that made them do that less, then non-profits wouldn't have to compete with nearly as insanely high wages.

IE if there was a law that CEOs couldn't be paid more than 10x their lowest paid worker, this problem would be a lot less insane.

It's not exactly the charities fault.

The real issue is that for profit companies can pay their CEOs this much, which means charities have to compete if they want a good CEO too.

In reality we should be cracking down on companies hoarding wealth towards to their CEOs at exorbitant rates, that way charities won't have to pay a wage like this just to function and even hire a CEO.

Historical odds of experiencing violence in the past has no relevance to discrete odds of danger now, correct.

Glad you finally figured it out.

Having experienced food poisoning 5 years ago has zero relevance to the question of "is this current dish I am about to eat safe?"

The latter is the discussion you are insisting on butting in on and trying to steer the convo towards the former.

No one gives a shit about your food poisoning from 5 years ago Karen, we are discussing if this dish right now is poisoned or not.

Don't go on Twitter... that actively funds musk.

Go everywhere but Twitter.

Do keep calling it Twitter though.
