The end result is still higher prices for the end-consumer... If the local businesses were unable to compete with a foreign supplier w/o the tariff, they'll be unable to do it with the tariff. So the consumer will end up paying

Without coercion today, why would anybody try to give the US a break at the cost of its other trading partners...?

Will ai buy what the displaced workers would have bought or will the level of sales just drop?

Will ai read the bug system entry, or will they need specialized bug readers or will they just ignore the complaints?

They might have solved coding but we’ll see whether they have a handle on debugging code they didn’t have a hand in writing.

If they’re us-resident there should be no problem, assuming the person travels on the us passport outside of Canada. They’d have to travel with two passports going to Canada, as each country expects to see their passport upon entry. Canad

Because the docs knew that far too many people would rather face risk to avoid doing what they’re told to do. And far too many people just don’t give a shit about other people. The npc’s aren’t real or pertinent.

The housing crisis won’t be properly solved until the job site crisis is solved with it. There’s a whole lotta land suitable for housing, but most of those parcels lack modern, stem jobs. Until that’s solved, via remote or satellite work,

All those bloody Star Trek and other basic games went a long, long way to build momentum. Throw in rogue-like games, especially multiple player, and spacewar clones and the market was prepped. Yeah, standalone hardware required Pong to sh

I would think they can be worse unless they’re regurgitating multiple sentences from the same source. Loss of context during the token stream might screw up what’s being said. But then, it takes some domain knowledge to evaluate what you’

Picking political or religious beliefs over medical or scientific data usually has risks and doesn’t turn out well. But others can test and approve drugs for use outside the us.

Return the favour, see what the us money says. Make them come to Europe for the meeting or zoom it. Until us-ians feel pain it’s just a strange reality tv show they can ignore.

It's sad that the party of small government has absolutely no problem telling companies and people what they can and can't do on their land, etc. So, as expected, it's ok to do or say what they want, just not what you want.

The Amish aren't on the consumer treadmill. They have amazing social support from their community. They tend to be "traditional families" so there's no question re: child rearing. So I guess that satisfies both of the

More that young(er) folks could afford to live on a single income for the pre-school years. Or, I guess, that there's extensive parental leave and support for the parent doing primary caregiver.

Rule of thumb: If you want to criticize (or worse) the powers that be, don't use the tools of the powers that be to communicate.

US would have a problem if nobody bought their debt. Yeah, they could print more, but Weimar is an extreme example of that "solution".

They still gotta figure out how their consumers will get the cash to consume. Toss all the developers and a largish cohort of well-paid people head towards the dole.

Once you’re part of the machine it’s just their agenda, not reality. Unless, of course, they’re defining reality. Usenet might have been real, but the ‘Net seems to be a daily Turing test or bot army fest. Gresham’s law and all that.

So the generated code is as good as the developer's code? Is this because of great AI, crap developers or poor choice of problem space? Are they seeing generated code that’s outside the training space hold up? IE, without memorized

I think the goal is to keep Canadians working and thus the tax base. Being lashed to the us, at the moment, is a recipe for disaster. Being lashed to the three us carmakers, unfortunately, isn’t much better given their worldwide difficult

Politically wise at the moment, in spite of whatever views the founders hold themselves. If they want to poach talent from other funding sources, let them operate as they wish.

Sorta sad being so damn ancient that the whole old vs new culture argument occurs after my (uni) frame of reference. Prog, table gaming (including FRP), pre-Linux hacking, …. sigh You’re all on my lawn.

Can the current AI tools go beyond what they’ve been trained upon other than via random token generation? Is there any inference engine to keep things associated, or is it relying on how big the memorized solutions are? Is it capable of d

What defines an owner, then? One who signs the application? Somebody with stock? If so, how much stock? Can they be promoted to owner after the application is granted? Is it ok to have green card and/or work permit people on staff,

Hmm... Probably best that I never got into it then. I prefer doing things openly, which is why the junior military people I see here don't bother me.

by jleyank 9mo ago
If the military wants a "junior cadet corps", it can go make one. They seem to have such things here in Canada, and people know what to expect. I'm not sure what "core values" are for the Scouts, but I'm fair

How about “tasteful drinks at a reasonable price in pleasant settings”? Pay your staff more so they stick around and don’t automate and kill what little personal contact remains.

Judging from all the Christmas shows and movies, there are streaming services that are family appropriate. It’s just that they’re smaller.

I suspect that studios, within possibly a film cycle or two, are quite aware of what makes a good return on investment and what doesn’t. One problem is that Hollywood pays (far) more attention to international sales than before and what se
