If it looks like a good deal to you, by all means, hasta luego. I was just saying that specific Reddit post is not really a good average case for housing. Check idealista and see the average homes there first.

Yes, Canada gets many immigrants from the most populous country in the world (1M Indians in 2024) - should that be surprising? It also gets immigrants from the China (772k), UK (427k), Germany, France (100k each). Saying its all stick and a

I don't know what a CUSMA visa is - I thought CUSMA was a trade deal?, but it seems very convenient to compare the standard Express Entry points-based immigration track versus (nothing) on the US side. Convenient is an euphemism, reali

Sure, you can find something with various budgets. As other said, that house is far away from the city centre (the reddit OP says so in the thread). You'll also probably need to spend a lot on upkeep and retrofits with buildings this o

I wonder how effective the marketing is (not much it seems). I was watching a World Cup match last week and one of the TV ads during half time was something to the tune of ChatGPT being used by kids to improve their street soccer skills. Th

That's because you're measuring yesterday's worlds with today's demented expectations. Because there was no faster way to do it, it was okay to wait for someone to send you those photos via email. If you were late for a

Must be missing some zeroes. There's no way that AI techbros and major shareholders are 16% of the US. Must be more like .0016%.

Everything about that analogy is wrong. Everyone would prefer a nicer handmade chair (if not by the price difference). Chairs are not comparable to OPs cards; writing on a card costs nothing (but intent, which seems to be in low stock these

Yeah I thought the same. The short sentences, like "The Web may become like IRC, FTP, Gopher, or BBSs. Not dead. Just smaller.", kind of gave that impression.

That's a poor analogy, because the intention is orders of magnitude greater on those things than with an LLM. You still need the intention to write Python instead of C, or C instead of assembly. You need an insignificant amount of inte

I had exactly the same thought yesterday. For now the "its not Y, its X" idiom is a strong LLM marker. It should be fairly simple for the brain trust at the labs to get rid of it, and I'm sure they eventually will when prose

There's some value in that line of thinking, as the mainstream often (okay, euphemism there) pushes bad choices, like in the past smoking being mainstream to the point of doctors being paid to promote the "health benefits" of

That's a very weird statement to make. There are trillions of dollars going into this crap; at this point anything but "breathtaking" advancement would be an utter, abject failure. No one is blind to the differences between G

Wait, how is any of this relevant if there were only 2 Claude commits? My statistics courses are far behind me, but don't you need at least 30 data points to conclude anything?

Re: cost of living, I'm thinking more about things like housing and utilities. Where I live (BC), power costs around CAD 0.085/kWh. In my home state in Brazil, the cost is CAD 0.25/kWh - 3 times higher. Natural gas is 20 time

That's just a non sequitur. "companies are already paying thousands per seat" has zero correlation with something being a fad or not. There are much more reasonable rationales explaining why companies are acting the way they

Its a way for US companies to avoid paying money. When employees get real PTO, companies have some legal and tax obligations. With fake "unlimited" PTO, they just pretend the person is working as usual.
