  • The TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K

    Jump

  • At that point, you've put multiple man-hours into analyzing the response required to placate it, and it isn't a "cheap" device anymore. Easier to return it.

  • [Episode] Sentenced to Be a Hero • Yuusha Kei ni Shosu: Choubatsu Yuusha 9004-tai Keimu Kiroku - Episode 4 discussion

    Jump

  • Well, we know now why one of the "heroes" has a Japanese name. I'm currently trying to decide whether Tatsuya ended up with the worst isekai experience I've ever encountered, or not. (The biggest competition, currently, is the guy who got offed in the first episode of Shokei Shoujo no Virgin Road without ever understanding what was going on.)

  • Panicked Trump, 79, Ramps Up Deranged Hockey Warnings to Canada

    Jump

  • Oh, that's what he was trying to get at. I thought I'd just gotten misdirected to the Beaverton again.

  • Eby calls reported meeting between Alberta separatists and U.S. official ‘treason’

    Jump

  • Some of those just seem to require conspiracy, not overt action. If they ever discussed those possibilities, even as contingency plans, it might be possible to make a charge stick.

    In the end, if this makes it to court, it's likely to come down to the judge.

  • Tesla's 'unsupervised' Robotaxis vanish a week after pre-earnings announcement

    Jump

  • Double your traffic congestion, or your money back!

    . . . or not, since I've never heard of Tesla voluntarily refunding anything.

  • Trump Team’s Secret Meetings With Group Plotting to Break Up Canada Exposed

    Jump

  • Probably is actual treason this time and not just sedition, given the conspiracy part.

  • Chrome is also turning into an agentic browser with its newest update

    Jump

  • If they're auditing that many of them, there will be a queue, too.

  • The long read: What technology takes from us – and how to take it back | Rebecca Solnit

    Jump

  • Only in the US. But they do tend to be measured and sold by volume (rather than weight) in contexts like farmer's markets and pick-your-own operations.

  • 'We were supposed to grow old together': Fiancée mourns man found day after crash

    Jump

  • Honestly, it's hard to tell what's going on at this point, or whether this guy could have been saved if the police had found him on the first pass (I can't see any mention of an exact cause of death). Right now, this looks more like incompetence and/or difficult conditions for a search than any kind of malice. Of course, that may change when and if more information is revealed.

  • Scott Bessent warns Carney not to 'pick a fight' with Trump

    Jump

  • “I would not pick a fight going into USMCA to score some cheap political points,” he added.

    Then what exactly is it that you're doing here, Mr. Bessent?

  • ‘Very Little Value’: Judge Frustrated by Health Canada at DULF Trial | The Tyee

    Jump

  • “So if an issue goes strictly outside of your box into another bureaucrat’s, you just stop paying attention?”

    I wouldn't be at all surprised if that was in fact the case. It's how bureaucracy tends to work. No matter how stupid that is.

  • [Episode] Gnosia - Episode 15 discussion

    Jump

  • Nevertheless Racqio could not keep his mouth shut and screwed up by revealing too much to Yuri.

    Racqio is both very smart and very impressed by their own intelligence. As such, the writers picked a very in-character way for them to screw up. 😉

  • Perceiving AI as a 'job killer' negatively influences attitudes towards democracy— When people perceive AI as replacing human labour, trust in democracy and political participation decline

    Jump

  • Problem is, we've never found a better system. They all suck, in various ways, many of them far worse than representative democracy. And that's even if no one's messing with the details of the setup to keep a certain group in power.

  • The state of Linux music players in 2026

    Jump

  • Personally, I favour Aqualung. But really, it's all a matter of taste.

  • In a 38-page essay, Dario Amodei warns of civilization-level damage from superintelligent AI, questioning whether humanity has the maturity to handle such power

    Jump

  • If we actually had superintelligent AI, I might be concerned. But what we have instead is stochastic parrots with no innate volition. In and of themselves, they aren't dangerous at all—it's the humans backing them that we have to be wary of.

  • Disabled man feels shut out of accessible seating as venues — including Rogers Arena — fail to stop abuse

    Jump

  • It's an American business (headquartered in California, which I'd bet is the jurisdiction where whatever law they're citing is actually in force). A shame that can't (yet) be used as a reason to prevent them from doing business in this country.

  • Canada is going all-in on AI, without the guardrails workers need

    Jump

  • There are some circumstances where you'd be better off delivering pizzas. (As someone else already said, though, this guy is probably management and being very well-compensated for his on-call time.)

  • [Episode] Fate/strange Fake - Episode 4 discussion

    Jump

  • Yup, I nailed Saber's ID. We now have names for 6 of a presumed 13 Heroic Servants,

    although I don't think Enkidu's class has been mentioned yet (by process of elimination on the first group of six, it would have to be Lancer or Rider).

  • Why cheap Chinese EVs may cost Canada more in the long run

    Jump

  • We haven't had an entirely Canadian company, headquartered here and without significant cross-border supply chains, building consumer-grade vehicles in my lifetime (some commercial/industrial/military vehicles, yes, but not the kind of car you'd find parked in someone's driveway). Vehicle design, one of the more important skillsets involved, isn't done here for that segment. I don't expect this to change in the near future. Basically, we have little chance of doing anything but importing this type of vehicle, either in complete form or as most of the parts. Doing the final assembly here uses similar skillsets to other manufacturing industries, so the workers could, in theory, be trained elsewhere.

    That doesn't mean we will lose the knowledge and skills needed to build transport. Those small actually Canadian producers of commercial, etc. vehicles can help us keep the important technologies in the country. Preferring them for government purchases and (if necessary) subsidizing them for corporate ones, even if they're a bit more expensive, can help. And it doesn't require us to compete in the consumer car market, where economies of scale are much more important. Given that, we should be importing consumer cars from as many places as can meet our safety and roadworthiness standards, to keep ourselves from becoming too dependent on any one source.
