Most people, and all institutions can focus on more than one thing at a time.

There can be (and is) more than on hostile regime in the world.

So the government didn’t spend billions of dollars to buy Alberta a pipeline?

Goddamn victim complex is getting really old.

If they refuse to play the claim, they are refusing to provide the service you have already paid them for.

If they refuse to renew a contract, they are not taking your money, and not agreeing to provide the service.

If a colour theme is enough to set you off, you may want to have an honest conversation with yourself about those feelings you are repressing.

Since VLC runs on just about everything, I’d imagine that the cloud service will be best for the many devices that just don’t have the horsepower to run an LLM locally.

until he was in and realized that First Past the Post would keep his party in power.

This part is untrue. The problem is that no one can even come close to agreeing on what actual system to change to. As the centrist party, First past the post is just about the worst style for the Liberals.

Without diving into the data behind this, I’m willing to bet that there’s a plateau around the $1 million mark, caused by simply owning a detached home in certain markets.

At this point, I think it’s too late for that. It’s time to start looking at French history for inspiration.

HDD read rates are way faster than media playback rates, and seek times are just about irrelevant in that use case. Spinning rust is fine for media storage. It’s boot drives, VM/container storage, etc, that you would want to have on an SSD instead of the big HDD.

Isn’t the second part of this meme supposed to be something that is not true?

I’m learning to hate it right now too. For some reason, its refusing to upload a local image from my laptop, and the alarm that comes up tells me exactly nothing useful.

A counter example that came to my mind is rabies. Look up how that progresses. There’s absolutely zero chance that I would be putting myself through that if I were diagnosed with it and it was too late for the vaccine. Assisted dying just ensures that nobody has to go through the trauma of finding my body.

You’ve never had a stomach bug and trusted a fart you shouldn’t have?

Not in an ideal world. Ray tracing is how light actually works in real life. Everything we do with global illumination right now is a compromised workaround, since doing a lifelike amount of ray tracing in real time, at reasonable framerates, is still to much for our hardware.

You just described ray tracing. The problem is, it’s incredibly computationally expensive. That’s why DLSS and FSR were created to try and make up for the slow framerates.

This take would make more sense if it wasn’t something he does every year.

Was there ever any doubt?

People need to think less like medieval serfs, and more like 18th century Frenchmen.

To most people, it also implies wireless backhaul.
