  • Not a fan of Poilievre by any means, but I'm glad we don't live in a world where he immediately takes the anti-trans attack angle. I won't be surprised if he does in a few days or weeks, but I'll take what I can get.

  • I think it's best to leave the post link as is. I don't want to point people to misinformation. I've added a post description instead with context and the archive link. If people downvote this post because of the 404, so be it.

  • In a supreme sense of irony, it seems this article was quickly taken down when the subject of the article commented that Ars had fabricated (or hallucinated) quotes from him. So disappointing to see from Ars Technica.

  • 3.78 Trillion dollar market cap. You don't get to that valuation by being generous to your customers. Apple is as capitalist as any of them. They're just wrapped in shiny marketing. Now only if their fans understood that.

  • Fair point. Maybe you should respond with that in the public consultation!

  • Many areas have bandwidth up to 50Mb/s, which I think is the minimum standard the CRTC is aiming for. The useful feature of the map is the list of providers for the selected area, which is in a collapsed section below. They're planning on updating that with the latest providers with this new decision.

  • Widevine is the defacto standard proprietary technology for DRM-locked content. It's used by all the major streaming services like Netflix and Disney+. Without it, publishers would not make their content available to those platforms for fear of rampant piracy, especially for high quality and 4K content. I guess Widevine requires some sort of vetted relationship with any browser that wants to use their tech.

  • I took it to mean that newer AI browsers were taking mind-share, if not market-share. I think you're right that they're minuscule in terms of actual user numbers, perhaps because there are many of them now.

  • Sounds like Geoffrey Hinton got in Bernie's ear and did a good job convincing him of the fears. Hinton is a good guy, but he's drunk too much of his own kool-aid. I think the bubble will pop at some point, but I'd prefer the fear-mongering over the hype, because the AI companies and governments do need more scrutiny.
