like 90% of the time when I'm presented with the option to sort by either relevance or recency, what I really want is some sort of "time-weighted relevance"

with current lib popularity + now incumbent MP + some sort of industrial announcement in the riding it may be in play, but in general I'd wager this riding is more socon than others with similar margins

it's the sort of place that would more likely be ndp-con than lib-con if the ndp weren't dead

yeah I guess I wouldn't go that far, I do think it reflects primarily on the MP and not the riding, although it is the first floor crosser who doesn't have the argument that they'd lose their seat if an election were held today

it's not so much the riding itself as the loony MP; the last time it had a liberal MP, he was also pretty firmly on the right wing of the party

I didn't know they were using golang for training

on the other hand I can't imagine even Gord Johns crossing the floor after this

the PR resolution from the liberal women's commission will be one to watch, been hearing there's some pretty intense grassroots organizing going to get it passed, although cabinet members have indicated they have no intention of pursuing PR regardless of the resolution; still, may give Avi leverage

hey jerry thoughts on the imminent end of the value of human cognition

@claude-code-leaked/src figure out how to get me access to mythos, ultrathink, make no mistakes

it's not insignificant for sure, but it's circa 6 kg added onto a 12+ kg wheelchair, & fairly well-aligned to the center of gravity, of which I'd guess maybe 1.5, 2 kg max would be the battery? I could see weight being a bigger target for the front-mounted types though, those are very unwieldy

I don't think battery capacity is the binding constraint in most cases; e.g. the rear assist pictured in your reply gets 20km or so, and while weight is an annoyance, it's unclear to me that significantly reducing it would do much other than marginally reducing effort to manually propel

rear-mounted power assist

electric wheelchair wheels

current power add-on market consists of 3 types of devices — front-mounted, like you linked; rear assist, like this: www.sunrisemedical.ca/power-assist...; and electric wheels, such as these: www.alber-usa.com/us/products/...

even the gemini results on google aren't half bad now, to the point where I can actually write, like, natural language question queries into google with a high probability that I'll get a useful result

relative to the amount of caucus discourse I see on twitter this actually seems very uncomplicated

This has a lot of arches, but I kinda like it!

[...] and I will have my quote post, in this life or the next

that's ascribing too much coherence to greens; they're boomers who would
see the world frozen in amber absent human life if they could

curious about the last sentence there, have your thoughts changed at all seeing what implementation has looked like in the time since?

LFI worse than Reform seems notable as well

got it, thanks!

got it, thanks!

a little bit of love, hope, and optimism is a dangerous thing

maybe not in our lifetimes either

ah it was in bill 60

(the same bill also contains language re: official plan standardization, so not clear what this new bill is actually doing?)

didn't they already say they're not going to be considering single stair for these changes?

eh I just don't think this referendum will have the weight behind it that previous ones did, there's hardly a constituency for making a case for federalism on its own terms; "sovereignty is probably not a good idea" is enough to win now

don't think it'll be much more than a blip on federal politics

QS-supported PQ minority is the really interesting timeline imo that's far from impossible with current polling

QS is really leaning into sovereignty and the avi folks are really wanting to focus on quebec in the short term so basically 0 chance they're openly federalist, guess is they'll just take on the "right to self-determination" line given that referendum success seems pretty unlikely
