Someone up here in Canada ought to get Carney to duplicate the lab, and just straight-on poach anyone on the American lab with full moving expenses paid. Stephen Harper’s wanton destruction of the Experimental Lakes Area - which had _hundre

This is like looking into a mirror, only without the formal sheepskin and the associated big-company gigs. Hell, back when I started I would have had to move 5hrs away from home just to get a degree in CS, and into a region where one needed

Charged… with what?? Unless there is a warrant for the phone, specifically or inclusively with other electronic devices, there is no crime in wiping it. It’s your phone, to do with however you want.

I actually don’t know how many books I have. I only know that it is somewhere north of 3,000, as I had hit some sort of buffer overrun within the BookCrawler iOS app somewhere just shy of 3,000 volumes. Back in 2015. Now, it still works jus

This won’t happen - at least, not successfully and without the company collapsing - because AI is bullshit. To me it is four things in particular: 1. How AI use erodes skills in the subject AI is being used to assist in. This is a 100% occu
