The 1 seat they got was in the green party stronghold (co leaders home town)

I have zero clue what her platform is, prolly environmentalist tho.

If any vote ever fails in our government, it triggers an instant re-election. It’s called the Vote of Non Confidence

It’s probably one of the most key parts of why our government is a little bit more resistant to clown-showing, because even a small crack in the parliament triggers a new election.

So bills can only be tabled if the gov is 100% confident it will have the votes.

Which means the conservatives could table a bill if they knew the NDP + Bloc would side with them on it, as then they have the votes to pass it.

But since it’s the NDP, a very progressive party, it means they actually hold that fine balance of mediating power between liberals and conservatives.

It’s pretty solid actually, and makes it so everyone the entire term could pass a reasonable bill.

Pretty sure this last term the conservatives and liberals did agree on some stuff and some bills passed with both approving it, iirc.

I think forcing them to occasionally work together like that helps temper the fascism lol.

Sorry. Naive and easily fooled by propaganda and disinformation that feeds into their bigotry

My bad ❤️

Bloc have endorsed the liberals already, Quebec is extremely anti trump.

Bloc aligning with conservatives would be political suicide lol.

Atm we got it, this is the magic sweet spot where we want to be

172 seats exactly with lib+ndp+green

and conservatives can’t even threaten a vote of non confidence with bloc’s help. (1 vote short)

But they could trigger it with that 1 green seat’s help, which means liberals have to stay on the good side of that 1 green seat XD

Not appropriate enough.

Unironically over 30% of people somehow still voted conservative.

I’m ashamed to admit a very large amount of them are from my area.

I don’t know what is wrong with some people. The education system has clearly desperately failed many of the people here though.

The big key is gonna be if we get that sweet 172 seats with Lib+Green+NDP, we are only 1 seat short

If we hit that mark it means, hilariously, the one single green seat is needed to form a majority government without bloc’s help needed

Which will force liberal party to play ball with NDP and Green Party’s more progressive policies.

That’s our ideal scenario, conservatives are told to go kick rocks, and green/ndp get an actual voice on decision making to push the country in a progressive direction.

One. More. Seat!

Wow, that sure is something else.

This genuinely made me do an IRL spit take, holy shit.

Same, but they did set up a self hosted instance for us to use and, tbh, it works pretty good.

I think it’s s good tool specifically for helping when you dunno what’s going on, to help with brainstorming or exploring different solutions. Getting recommended names of tools, finding out “how do other people solve this”, generating documentation, etc

But for very straightforward tasks where you already know what you are doing, it’s not helpful, you already know what code you are going to write anyways.

Right tool for the right job.

I’m sorry they put tarrifs on uninhabited islands lol

You’d be surprised how much the intersection of “I luve in a literal cardboard box and can’t afford toothpaste” and “no longer getting fluoride in my water super fucks me over” is.

There’s huge chunks of the population who, yes, can’t a0fford to brush their teeth, they Jaber neither toothbrush nor toothpaste.

But they do drink free tap water, and that as a source of fluoride in any sane city is a powerful cheap way to help with their bone health, teeth health, etc.

Cities that turn off fluoride in the water are, 4-5 years later, going to have some seriously excercerbated problems in their homeless communities which is going to impact everyone.

It’s very dumb short term thinking that only someone very stupid would do…

This, this is what people completely whiff on…

People forget not everyone can afford toothpaste…

This would 100% be easily enough to make me move away.

That’s a massive negative impact on my child’s health. Anyone with more than 1 braincell who lives in Utah right now and wants to raise kids should be considering leaving to live somewhere with fluoride, unless you want your kid to be at risk of a bunch of health issues.

2025: we are bringing fucking Rickets back baby!

Yep. It’s unethical but nonetheless makes the coin actually have tangible holdings, because it’s actually impacting the real world.

That’s probably a better way to put it yeah.

And as fucked as it is, it is a fact that this does hold value and is backed by it.

It’s just a pretty shit thing to be backed by ethically.

But nonetheless, there is value in bitcoin, it’s just best we don’t encourage further investment in such a thing.

Bitcoin is backed by the price of coal.

For all intents and purposes, bitcoin is effectively minted coal.

So who is doing the deporting? Why aren’t we constantly naming names of who is doing the deporting here?

Which agency? What group? Who?

If we keep the offenders who are violating orders anonymous, then they can easier get away with shit.

If you just wrote “U.S. immigration authorities” you are a bad journalist. Get very fucking specific please.

Which authorities, of what agency, in what city

I primarily use GPT style tools like ChatGPT and whatnot.

The key is, rather than asking it to generate code, specify that you dont want code and instead want it to help you work through the solution. Tell it to ask you meaningful questions about your problem and effectively act as a rubber duck

Then, after you’ve chosen a solution with it, ask it to generate code based on all the above convo.

This will typically produce way higher quality results and helps avoid potential X/Y problems.

Humans are “trained” with maybe ten thousand “tokens” per day

Uhhh… you may wanna rerun those numbers.

It’s waaaaaaaay more than that lol.

and take only a couple dozen watts for even the most complex thinking

Mate’s literally got smoke coming out if his ears lol.

A single Wh is 860 calories…

I think you either have no idea wtf you are talking about, or your just made up a bunch of extremely wrong numbers to try and look smart.

1. Humans will encounter hundreds of thousands of tokens per day, ramping up to millions in school.

2. An human, by my estimate, has burned about 13,000 Wh by the time they reach adulthood. Maybe more depending in activity levels.

3. While yes, an AI costs substantially more Wh, it also is done in weeks so it’s obviously going to be way less energy efficient due to the exponential laws of resistance. If we grew a functional human in like 2 months it’d prolly require way WAY more than 13,000 Wh during the process for similiar reasons.

4. Once trained, a single model can be duplicated infinitely. So it’d be more fair to compare how much millions of people cost to raise, compared to a single model to be trained. Because once trained, you can now make millions of copies of it…

5. Operating costs are continuing to go down and down and down. Diffusion based text generation just made another huge leap forward, reporting around a twenty times efficiency increase over traditional gpt style LLMs. Improvements like this are coming out every month.
