Not necessarily for cooling. Use a dual-loop system like CANDU nuclear reactors. Fresh water in the inner loop (that goes through the components), and transfer heat to an outer loop full of sea water.

It’s still mind blowing, even if it is a coincidence.

The fact that my brain accidentally two whole words is not your fault!

OMG I skimmed this headline first and my brain processed it as “Fedecan Instance will close in a few days”. My heart skipped a beat then I re-read it. Oof.

At least Canada has some precedent of courts ruling against this sort of thing. Most of the precedent I’ve found related to the Quebec Labour Code, so it might not be the same with Nova Scotia, but the jist of how the Supreme Court has ruled is: Employers have a right to cease operations, but if that happens in the “prohibited period” when union negotiations are ongoing, that violates the right of association, and the employees can be entitled to damages.

I don’t know how the facts of this case will line up with NS law, but I would think that given that there’s a Charter right underpinning these ideas that they probably have some kind of case here. The burden of proof will possibly be on Ubisoft to show that it was a “normal” decision, based on my quick reading of some of the precedent.

Agree, and to add: That the Finch West LRT doesn’t have signal priority is criminal. I live in K-W, and the iON is good because it has signal priority, and it still gets stopped by traffic signals relatively frequently.

Alas that I have but one upvote to give.

I work primarily in “classical” AI and have been working with it on-and-off for just under 30 years now. Programmed my first GAs and ANNs in the 90s. I survived Prolog. I’ve had prolonged battles getting entire corporate departments to use the terms “Machine Learning” and “Artificial Intelligence” correctly, understand what they mean, and how to start thinking about them to incorporate them correctly into their work.

Thus why I chose the word “LLM” in my response, not “AI”.

I will admit that I assumed that by “AI” Jimmy Carr was referring to LLMs, as that’s what most people mean these days. I read the TL;DW by @masterspace@lemmy.ca but didn’t watch the original content. If I’m wrong in that assumption and he’s referring to classical AI, not LLMs, I’ll edit my original post.

Ugh, I’m tired of point 2. Yes, LLMs have found a few patterns in large-scale study analyses that humans hadn’t, but they weren’t deep insights and there had been buried hypotheses around them from existing authors, IIRC (too lazy to source).

I don’t think they generally think that deeply. I think they really do want less illegal immigration (and less legal immigration, and the expulsion of all non-white, non-fundamentalist-Christian people) because that will create the “unified, blessed” nation they believe that they need to have.

That said, they aren’t concerned about dealing with either of those issues rationally or efficiently. It’s moral, not policy. “Impure” people who enter our “pure” nation are evil and must be thown out so we continue to have the favour of our deity (I refuse to write capital-g god here out of respsect for actual, loving Christian doctrine, as rare as it is). You deal with moral violations with exile and shame, not with compassion, wisdom, and welcoming.

Trump doesn’t even get that deep. “How does this play in the ratings? (and secondarily, how do I look?)” That’s it. It’s why he likes Mamdani in person—he gets ratings.

No, they don’t want any immigration, except from white South Africa apparently.

Wilson expressed deep regret about parts of his vote. “There are some things I regret about voting for President Trump? Yes, a hundred percent. Trade policy is one of them… I wish it hadn’t have turned out that way.” Even so, he said given the choices on the ballot, he still would have voted for Trump—reflecting a dilemma felt by many in rural America.

And there you go. “The other stuff” is more important than their own business. I’m willing to forgive a certain amount of being on the wrong side of history once they’ve seen the consequences of their actions, decided that they were wrong, and started the work to repair. But double down? Now you’re saying you actually want this.

Generally agree. I don’t know enough of the data to say whether or not they should be motorcycles or a new category of vehicle that can be regulated separately, but I’m in favour of increased regulation and licensing as they get more powerful.

↑Motor Power ∝ ↑Frequency of going at high speeds ∝ ↑% of time when a severe accident is possible.

I understand the argument that any given rider doesn’t have to use the power. It’s the same argument as “guns don’t kill people, people kill people”. While technically true, it ignores all of the evidence that shows that having the thing accessible increases its use in aggregate. I’m okay with people choosing to put themselves at risk, but a user of a more powerful eBike increases the danger for those around them as well. That kinetic energy works both ways when you hit someone else, and it’s way easier to get up to that energy on a powerful eBike.

I hope we can agree that unlimited eBike power without a license is the incorrect policy. If my bike has as much power as a motorcycle (and electric motorcycles do exist), then I should need to be appropriately licensed. At some insane power, it should probably not be street legal. If you imagine a “smooth morph” between the most powerful electric motorcycle and the least powerful eBike on the market, there is some line where we need to transition categories. I’m willing to argue over where the various categorical lines around vehicle regulation and driver licensing should be, but I hope we can agree that they need to exist.

That said, I’m not sure that the ~25km/h limit in NY is the right limit, I might choose something more like 30-35km/h (~18.5-22 mph). But that’s without any data and I’m not an expert, so 🤷

The main argument here is “if you can go as fast as traffic then you are more like traffic”. Not Just Bikes did a 1.5 hour treatment on how US/Canadian bike infrastructure got the way it did, and the one man responsible: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRPduRHBhHI

Point is, this article falls into the trap of accepting the whole “real cyclist” framing of the argument. If there’s separate bike infrastructure, then the idea of needing speed to integrate with car traffic goes away, and the whole article is moot.

I… did not notice the community…

(Recent Aurora convert here. Always preferred KDE to GNOME, but no shade. All in the family, amiright?)

There needs to be some subset/common theme for the Universal Blue distro family: Aurora, Bazzite, and Bluefin. I am not aesthetically talented enough to come up with such a collection.

I hate that in a sense you’re right. The problem is that in a practical sense it’s become so much more than that, too. So due to the law of unintended consequences, the psychiatrists that wrote the manual have built their own prison (if you’ll excuse the mixed metaphors).

To me, it seems that psychiatrists/psychologists need one manual for GPs, another manual amongst themselves, and a third written to placate US insurance companies. Right now they all use the DSM because it’s the only thing.

Do I spy a Bluefin user?
