Oh tell me more about prefill latency.

I think "ultra rich enthusiast" is in the right ballpark. There are people betting on being able to create their own revenue generating products and services with their own local hardware and very little operating costs. That may

Ha yeah that was my thought. How is this a down payment? This would only be 20% of a $100k house...

by sanderjd 1mo ago
Isn't there something to be said for owning your own hardware though?

Yep, this is my exact thought. The pendulum has swung back toward a desktop making more sense for me than a laptop. It all depends on whether there is anything useful to do with an amount of computation that can't be fit into a laptop

2, yes. 1, maybe he thought that would work, but it hasn't.

This comment uses a very odd tense. As if this is a thing that is going to happen. It isn't. My suggestion is to vote for and otherwise help the opposition win a Senate majority. If the current administration finds a way to steal or ov

What is the lie?

How so? Is the thing you accuse them of omitting this thing and the trade deficit? How is that relevant?

Ok but a general strike is both way less likely to be successfully organized and way less likely to change Trump's tariff policy than just electing 51 Democrats to the Senate in a couple months. I do appreciate the concrete suggestion

To me, it seems like you have a myopic view of the situation that is overweighting the importance of a political movement that has high salience for you, but fairly low salience for most of the electorate.

by sanderjd 2mo ago
What good trouble would you suggest that would be more effective than seating a new Congress? I'm a big fan of the civil rights movement, but a lot of this kind of stuff like your comment that I see strikes me as nostalgia that doesn&#

It's all relative. I'm sure you're right that Carney will lose some support because of this, but he'll also gain and solidify some other support. And he has lots of room to give. We haven't had leadership in the US

I don't find analogies like this helpful for thinking about this, because they don't illuminate anything about what is being suggested. In your analogy, I could come up with some ideas about what the "passengers" could d

I don't think this has anything to do with revenue or the national debt. They don't seem to care about that at all.
76.
by sanderjd 2mo ago
I'd say that's more effect than cause.
77.
by sanderjd 2mo ago
Yes. Same calculation the Iranians are making. Everyone knows the US election schedule and can read polls.
78.
by sanderjd 2mo ago
That is not why the Carney administration made this choice. You are more focused on the immediate term situation, whereas they are more focused on the future steady state. They are taking an immediate term hit, with the belief that it will

I think they'll support him through the election. If the election goes as bad as it seems likely to, that might upset the apple cart. But it's also possible that it won't, and the Republican party will just be an empty discre

I'm fairly certain it's AI, yeah. Downvote and move on.

There is no reason for tariff policy to be made quickly. Indeed, it would be much more effective if it could change only very slowly, because any positive effects tariffs may have rely on businesses having certainty when making decisions wi

What do you mean by "do something about it"? The elections are in November and the new Congress will be seated a few months later. Our system progresses in two year increments, by design.

by sanderjd 2mo ago
This reads like a non sequitur to me. What is your point?
84.
by sanderjd 2mo ago
I don't understand your point about public opinion in the US. Public opinion here is already strongly against Trump and his foolish tariff policy. Most people here do not want to see Canada acquiesce to "the bear". It only pr

by sanderjd 2mo ago
We, in the US, might be able to sustain this longer economically, but Canadians can sustain this longer politically.
86.
by sanderjd 2mo ago
There is no grand vision. Trump has an irrational love of tariffs. He just likes them, they feel right to him. It is entirely that we have a presidential system with an executive that is capable of too much unilateral action, and we elected

by sanderjd 2mo ago
I think you're right that this will be more painful for Canada, economically, but I'm not so sure about "way more". But politically , it will be much more painful for the US side of the negotiation than for the Canadian

This does not seem to be accurate, from the reporting I've read. Do you have a source?
89.
by sanderjd 2mo ago
I think this is a reasonably framing, and I agree with your take by this framing. But I don't think it's the same thing as "mainstream" vs "countercultural". I think those two things are just antonyms.

by sanderjd 2mo ago
Right! Even in the 90s this doesn't make sense. If The New Kids on the Block had sold branded Oreos, they would have flown off the shelves. There have always been mainstream pop culture figures with dedicated fandoms that don't ca
