So concerned that we bribed foreign terrorists to blow shit up in Xinjiang, forcing China to spend on education and job programs there.

Really absurd. Any countries that Canada should invade? There are no other countries than US who will invade us.

Ukraine’s independence from USSR, included constitutional neutrality and no nukes. US was not main negotiator.

such pure disgusting treason. Everyone responsible for this analysis needs to be labeled as a traitor or at least fired.

these subs will be expected to deploy far into the North Atlantic with NATO and push across the Pacific to support the Indo-Pacific Strategy

The only mission any Canadian military equipment procurement strategy needs to focus only on defending and attacking the US. If we need a sub, it is to destroy American harbours, and blockade any commerce or oil rigs. All concepts of aiding US domination of the world must be suspended until we at very least get our fair share in the evil pillaging.

It’s great that we are building a large VW engineered battery factory. If we need subs, the German coastal one is the choice, and if it is purchased, the money should be reinvested into a VW EV plant. If we don’t need subs because we don’t understand a need to fight/destroy the US, then we should use the money to make an EV plant.

Ontario, even before this hike, has one of the highest electricity prices in the world due to regressive fixed fees of $50/month for Toronto Hydro. High fixed fees subsidizing lower per kwh rates (even without tax funded subsidies) provides less incentive for conservation (or home solar), and rewards high electricity users. Ontario electricity policy was already deeply corrupt and a collapsing factor for any less subsidized users.

Quebec has the cheapest rates in the world, by comparison. I heard so much rah rah about interprovince commerce. But every policy in a crisis is just more theft and destruction of Canada.

There is no reasonable definition of hostilities that applies to China. Saying so, is more hostile than not.

We have no real values, unfortunately. Supporting the US’s demonic evil, with justification that the propaganda behind evil are good values, with no real democracy/independence of our own. Our values have always been to support our extortionist oligarch’s supremacism, to call that freedom, and to propagandize the supremacism of our system over those that control against such theft and fraud.

It would be one thing if our sycophantic submission to demonism received a kick back. Such as a nice pat on the head, and some table scraps. Instead, we’re getting kicked at.

Crazy stuff. 2nd part of show is about EVs. Offering me cheap stuff is not harmful. Offering good value EVs is more important for mankind than who profits from it.

In China street markets you can get a 48gb 4090.

I’m not sure if equipment to make older ram types still exist, or if it’s possible to use ddr3 chips on ddr5 interface/voltage, or gddr5, but this is getting too stupid.

HBM prices are also rising fast, and next gen datacenter AI cards are likely to be worse value (flops/bandwidht/ram) than older ones. But still ddr5 would be more profitable to make than HBM at half the current price. So everything is stupid extortion, and should come back to some parity between the 2.

If you ever stream cable news in the background during business hours. experts will come on to tell you that if the US doesn’t bankrupt itself, then Russia or China wins. The only remaining hope for US economy seems to be to beat China at AI, because it can’t beat it at anything else. So, all the money for military, and AI to help military make Skynet, which will mostly be used to ensure establishment can control/kill Americans who don’t support Skynet for Israel supremacist rule over the US, is simply a continuation of the tautology of “all US money for militarist US establishment control over all of you”, but with more efficient AI.

But, but… surely, the most important AI application of all time, my OpenAI girlfriend, who truly loves me beyond all monetization opportunities, will never be replaced by a hotter newer model.

UBI is not going to win out over soylent green.

Establishment prefers solylent green solution to unneeded slavery for sure. UBI is an obvious winning political platform, even though it does not provide the proponents with maximum political power, the way that bandaids on oligarchist supremacism still allows for supremacism and soylent green to rise as the solution.

Simply, the answer, is to reject establishment politics, including Bernie as controlled opposition proposing nonsense that gets shot down for its stupidity, instead of UBI.

Also, an MIT study released today, said 135m US jobs could be replaced with AI agents.

The only possible customer for committed datacenter projects is the US government. the bailout is just buying all the datacenter time… because if not, China wins. Amazon, despite no congressional appropriations yet, has announced $50B datacenter to supply government customers.

Not sure of exact windows comparisons, but 5090 had problems, and I don’t think amd is ahead of nvidia by as much on windows.

So ridiculously absurd. There are absurd propaganda headlines that get published fairly often, but even those articles are complete nothing burgers with actual accusations. Yes, Russia and Chinese ships are in Arctic. That doesn’t mean they are anywhere close to Canadian waters. For Russia to “have already been” to Canadian territory to exploit resources, they would need a reason to travel that far and return. Even fishing which doesn’t require any investment once they are here, wouldn’t make sense as long as Russian waters have fish. The US is the one that would steal our fish. A mine or oil well is gigantic investment that needs permission/alliance to invest in, because of the high risk of confiscation.

has to pay a per-device licensing fee.

Where I’m confused, is that it would be a perpertual/long term annual license fee per device. It would make sense to have a one time fee per device shipped. That would not affect older models.

I guess what is happening is that manufacturers can stop paying for the capabilities by “downgrading” their driver support, and it affects old and new systems the same when users “update”?

does dell/hp have to pay annual license fees in perpetuity for systems they sell???

The more likely disastrous scenario is Russia repeatedly “tests” Canada’s borders

Will absolutely never happen. Russia has no reason to ever exploit resources in Canadian waters/territory without our permission. There is an international treaty against exploitation of any arctic resources even in own waters, but US will ignore and so no one will say shit about any of it, when exploiting own territory.

A military changing aircraft means rewriting pilot and maintenance personnel training programs

All the reason to stop considering F35 alternatives, and cancel F35 immidiately. Sell any to KSA or North Korea for all I care.

The only military mission Canada will ever NEED to do in near future is defense/attack against US forces. That can’t be done with F35s that need Lockheed Martin permission for avionic systems. Pretending our military’s only mission will remain to hammer “rules based world order” nails is what needs to stop immediately.

The other issue is what a shit plane the F35 is. If ever there is a legitimate reason to amplify US dictate again, it can be done with other planes than F35. The point that this was always a colonial tribute paying for a boondoggle was always unacceptable. Same people can learn to fly and maintain other fighters.
