I'm honestly surprised by how badly the Conservatives did in yesterday's by-elections.

In Terrebonne, the Liberals got more than 14 times the number of Conservative votes. In Scarborough Southwest, they had almost 4 times as many. In University/Rosedale it was more than 5 times as many.

This is a fantastic movie. I highly recommend it. The story is riveting and the visuals are stunning.

I don't think that's a great analogy, because in real live, wolves really do want to eat the sheep.

Here are images from today's anti-Doug Ford protest in Ottawa. I guess about 200 people were there, and some dogs.

Sometimes a major version increase means that it was so bad it required a complete rewrite.

That's a very misleading take on the article. Read the source, it says most Americans still have a high regard for Canada, it's dropped slightly among Republicans.

I took my first trip on the Metro when it opened for Expo 67. It went under the river to Ile St Helene, I was disappointed that it didn't go through a transparent tunnel so we could see the fish.

It's not just "on principle." Anthropic knows that without the safeguards and human intervention, AI controlling weapons will make mistakes (as if anything that does is not a mistake.) No person or corporation should be willing to take that kind of risk.

I got a phone call from an AI bot, representing a software recruiting company. I told it what I always tell recruiters: "I'm on contract for the next x months, please send me an email and I'll get back to you when I'm free." It replied, "I can't send emails." Useless.

I heard that Tidal is a good music streaming service. I don't always read the Terms and Conditions pages, but this time I did and I got convinced immediately that they are deliberately being obfuscated and confusing: tidal.com/terms
