It doesn't work like that. If the US and Canada stopped extraction of oil and gas for the most part that shortage would be made up in other places. As we remove our supply from the markets prices would rocket up and countries like Russ

I'm weird. Just to be fair I'll acknowledge that certain political actors in the US deny there's any man made climate change and fight renewable energy because it conflicts with some narrow business or political interests. I&

Well, you should know that members of the EU are not free to make their own trade deals either. I am looking for the same model as the EU where we have a common market. I don't want the US to tell me what to do but Canada making other

Solar energy is the fastest growing source of energy in the US. That's because it's also the cheapest source of energy. So markets are working. https://abcnews.com/US/solar-generates-energy-coal-us-1st-ti...

Sandboxing and reviewing the output. I don't have any incredible insight to add here- that's the same process I think most of us are doing.

I use skills. The skills are not typically "how to perform a task in detail" they are more about what relevant tools and knowledge are required to work in a domain. That is I give the LLM the information it needs about the system

I would like to see open borders, free trade, freedom of movement, between the US and Canada. Something like the EU. Mexico would be a stretch goal as they need to fix some things. China absolutely wants to influence Canada. They put in eff

I do this all the time in my workflow. Use any harness. Ask it to create a markdown file with the information required for the handoff. Use that downstream. Keep a "repo" of those markdown files. Are you trying to orchestrate or m

This is the same "tension" I keep seeing in my day job. Some people approach LLMs like they're writing code. They give a long list of detailed instructions for specific scenarios. When I use LLMs I leave things as open as pos

It's still a tool in the tool box. Somewhat analogous to accelerated life testing in non-software products. You induce conditions that make failures more likely to occur.

Root Cause Analysis is an organizational ritual that makes people feel like they're doing something. It's more about politics than about engineering. Not only is the process not useful- more often than not the correct root cause i

Trading with them significantly is a statement on their values. People who choose trade with China over trade with the US are making statements about values. As much as we hear that China is somehow better than the US - it's very much

I did not know that. It's not a metric I follow. I think it's unfair of you to say "and you know it". It's a good data point and I'm going to not step in and debate it .. because you know it ;) just kidding. I&

The world has moved forward. There was slavery in many places. I had a similar discussion in real life. Where we concluded it that Roe vs. Wade being overturned was the biggest step backwards. Most of the other stuff is noise but this one i

I don't think so. I'm not an expert and I'm not an American. I did read their web site, I listen to what their candidates are saying and doing. I could very well be wrong. But when they say "socialism" there are two

China could change but it is a totalitarian regime with no human rights and a terrible track record. I would be happy to see a change there towards freedom, democracy and human rights but that doesn't seem to be in the cards. I don&#x2

Sure. We're gonna agree to disagree. I guess we don't vote for the same party here. The facts are still the facts. People like you can fantasize that somehow going over the ocean to remote countries can offset going over a truck t

As a fellow Canadian. Our neighbor is the world's biggest economy. Despite their current "challenges" they are still very close to us in values and culture. Our paths are interlocked. We are not going to decouple from the USA

The transport airplanes are also there. Aid has been dropped from them to Gaza and some of it killed people and it was generally a drop in the bucket compared to aid entering via land. Instead of fantasizing about F35s which are a very expe

For sure there is a downside. To develop real expertise in a domain takes time. We have people hopping between jobs before they've even learnt how to do one job right. In software it can take a long time between writing the code and se

I agree with the work sucks bullet point. So nobody should work. We can all just sit at home, get our UBI money, and pay our rent, get our groceries, buy a car, get fuel, go on vacation. That sounds perfect to me. But.. who makes the car? w

This doesn't work though. The government needs to pay you. Where does the money come from? People working for the government tend to not really work that hard because what's their incentive to work hard? Are you getting paid per t

The US has had many very successful tech companies. Those attract talented engineers that want to work there. Partly this is about supply and demand but the other part is that engineers who work for the successful companies see their compen

Also cost. I mean you can charter a plane if you want better QoS than what the airline provides (maybe). It'll just cost you a lot of money. Heck you can charter two redundant planes to fly together so the second one can pick you up if

I've totally had latest models just say "here are minor nits but this is good to ship" when reviewing code. Claude is a bit more verbose usually but Codex by default is pretty terse. My experience anyways. They also take push
