Maybe, but it's in a dead heat with 'we should take steps to encourage north americans to adjust their diets somewhat in the direction of less catastrophic for the environment and less unfathomably cruel'.

This is baffling.

I suspect this is a line of thought that's going to get extremely uncomfortable for any Maritime province. That's not to say you're wrong, of course.

P.G. Wodehouse.

I wish I didn't have to clean so much playground off my kitchen floor.

UPDATE! We walked along the beach. Despite my best efforts, the dog drank, oh, I'd say, about a litre of sea water.

All of which she just barfed up in the kitchen.

Fantastic!

Nova Scotia has banned walking in the woods, because of the drought conditions and the likelihood that we're all going to die in a forest fire.

I have no idea where I'm going to take the cattle dog for her weekend walks.

If you read the post above this one, it turns out the iron is "all the painstaking scholarship done by actual literary experts that the LLM was trained on, "and the gold is "an averaged out summary of all of that scholarship."

I've long thought this was remarkable. How did real engineers let this happen?

If a bunch of coders started calling themselves "software doctors" or "software lawyers," can you imagine the nuclear-level lawsuits they'd be hit with?

No research, only braaaaaaaaaaand

Every new generation of Canadians gets to learn in its own way that the LPC will always, unfailingly do whatever is in Bay Street's short-term interest.

This is the right answer.

My (stupider) analogue: I still type 'Natrop' every single time I try to type 'Natorp'.

That is undoubtedly right.

I believe this. Word predicting is the main thing PhD programs teach. If you do a PhD, you get INCREDIBLY good at predicting which words are most likely to follow which other words.

Very cool!

Like, I actually wonder if Oliver Platt is self-consciously doing Pritzker.

He's Uncle Jimmy from THE BEAR.

Yes. The reason I'm so burnt out about, e.g., the RTP is that everything in that's good is old news & it doesn't actually propose near-term timelines for building anything good.

I've read plans for 13 yrs that all say, "It would be good to shift mode share. Here's how." & then we keep not doing it.

Outstanding. Maybe I'll do that on South Park.

This is the greatest video of all time.

His campaign was for MP was, "I can see who's got the biggest coattails, and it's Justin Trudeau."

When JT stopped having those coattails, Fillmore decided it was time to quit.

A blurry photo of an Australian cattle dog lunging up towards a shiba inu, who is standing on a couch and whose head is just in frame. The shiba is counter-attacking.

I love mornings. So quiet and relaxing.

The most damning objection yet to sec. 16 of the B Deduction: what the internet does to my mind.

This is the long-lost J.L Austin lecture series I want to read.

Amazingly, this is also the argument for why we can't have more bus lanes!

If this goes south, Outhit needs to be a high priority target in the next election. Bad behavior needs to be punished.

"How shouty do I make this in English?" is the closest I'll ever come to making a poetic choice in my translating.

It's stunning!
