L4D2 - it upset me that the disc just had an install of Steam and I would have to download it.

I really miss when buying PC games was fun.

In addition to the official ceremonial duties, they also do a lot of philanthropy, advocacy, and act as a sort of ambassador.

I suspect it’s more of an implementation complexity than a true legal issue with geography, but I’m open to anything that gets us closer EU ties.

I gave Carney a wide net because I knew he was conservative but still the “right guy for the job” right now. But privatization is crossing the line… Cuts can be uncut, taxes can be restored, but we’re permanently fucked when we privatize.

Because this is about the defense of an ally and Europe, not an expense meant to enrich our country. Don’t forget we have a massive Ukrainian diaspora, so this does help those Canadians pretty directly.

Age verification would be fine if it was an OAuth type thing - I sign in with the government on the government’s website, they report back that I have the 18+ grant. I don’t know why they’re going in this direction of just requiring that private companies collect a bunch of personal information to “verify” me

That’s apocryphal actually, according to wikipedia:

The origin of “guinea” in “guinea pig” is unclear. One proposed explanation is that the animals were brought to Europe by way of Guinea, leading people to think they had originated there.[1] “Guinea” was also frequently used in English to refer generally to any far-off, unknown country, so the name may be a colorful reference to the animal’s exotic origins.[27][28]

Another hypothesis suggests the “guinea” in the name is a corruption of “Guiana”, an area in South America.[27][29] A common misconception is that they were so named because they were sold for the price of a guinea coin. This hypothesis is untenable because the guinea was first struck in England in 1663, and William Harvey used the term “Ginny-pig” as early as 1653.[30] Others believe “guinea” may be an alteration of the word coney (rabbit); guinea pigs were referred to as “pig coneys” in Edward Topsell’s 1607 treatise on quadrupeds.[1]

They also just have lots of strange names in different languages

no and you shouldn’t

Colonialism, “$” is a derivative of the shorthand for peso which was the name for the Spanish dollar. So all the locals were calling their money a dollar before the actual “dollar” currencies became a thing.

I think Conservatives will actually be very happy about this behind closed doors - currently they are helping the Liberals push everything through parliament and committee, so whenever they bark to media about stuff they look like hypocrites. Now they get to complain without looking like hypocrites!

Also, I’m pretty sure the alternative here is an election where the Liberals would win >210 seats, so…

Eventually, you’ve got to try actually running the app, right?

At least at my company, no, they just start selling it.

I don’t tie my masculinity to how I pee, ya goofball

Nah it’s just me and my wife so I don’t even close the door, let alone lock it

Okay genuinely confused, no, I sit down and the pee goes straight down?

Ever hear of sitting?

There was some references to experimental models not publicly available and some % info.

Internal comments reveal that Anthropic is already iterating on Capybara v8, yet the model still faces significant hurdles. The code notes a 29-30% false claims rate in v8, an actual regression compared to the 16.7% rate seen in v4.

Is this the one that when they leaked the Claude Code source code, it had like 3x the fail rate of Opus?

NEP is the last time Alberta had a hissy fit at the feds.

Here in Red Deer I never saw a single person signing the petition (I regularly drive past like 6 signing locations).

I was expecting them to miss the threshold and then the government say something like “oh there was enough to show that people are interested”.

I’m really torn between this being kind of fishy and unsurprising. Either way, I fully expect the referendum to fail.
