How Canadian are you feeling, Maine? Maybe it’s time for a referendum.

I guess that depends on whether it works. God I hope it doesn’t work.

I’m not Trump, guys! I swear

Yeah you wish you could be Trump, but you’re JD Vance.

I always assumed they had some leverage on him, but ‘pee tapes’ didn’t seem to cut it. Maybe rather than something more depraved, it was just fear of being hanged for treason the whole time?

One not very bright, but very pervy real estate investor versus the Russian intelligence services. He never stood a chance, and now we’re all paying for it.

#bookz on undernet is what I’ve used in the past.

Do you mean a pre-election coalition? That would be awesome, and would only need to be done once if they can use it to reform the electoral system.

I worry that the conservatives would be successful attacking it as ‘undemocratic’. Similar to how electoral reform referendums keep failing.

Those “Build Canada” assholes are trying to DOGE us.

One was on the radio the other day talking about how we need to be a country where you can just ‘start building’ instead of dealing with regulations.

I wanted so badly for the interviewer to ask him about pipelines, environment impact, indigenous land, etc.

It was just another tech bro who only knows how to ‘move fast and break things’ or whatever.

Why am I being detained?

law enforcement is working to determine applicable charges in this incident.

America coming to its senses or something reasonable happening in the future at which point he can renegotiate

The flip side is if this doesn’t happen, then we’re all super fucked anyway.

Make this sound better: we’re aware of the outage at Site A, we are working as quick as possible to get things back online

How does this work in practice? I suspect you’re just going to get an email that takes longer for everyone to read, and doesn’t give any more information (or worse, gives incorrect information). Your prompt seems like what you should be sending in the email.

If the model (or context?) was good enough to actually add useful, accurate information, then maybe that would be different.

I think we’ll get to the point really quickly where a nice concise message like in your prompt will be appreciated more than the bloated, normalised version, which people will find insulting.

Ouch

Especially:

that the leader can go beyond slogans

It’s perfect.

So he’s Homelander. That’s wonderful.

There’s a new fentanyl king in town. Good luck stopping it now you fuckers.

The funny part is that Congress can’t remove the tariffs by passing a bill because it would then require Trump’s signature to become law. So much for checks and balances.

Thankfully there at least a way around that.

In the United States, the president can use the veto power to prevent a bill passed by the Congress from becoming law. Congress can override the veto by a two-thirds vote of both chambers.

I know this is a serious subject, but this made me laugh:

Trump wrote on Sunday in all capital letters

Like they couldn’t bring themselves to quote it as written, but they still had to mention it.

I keep seeing this sentiment, but in order to run the model on a high end consumer GPU, doesn’t it have to be reduced to like 1-2% of the size of the official one?

Edit: I just did a tiny bit of reading and I guess model size is a lot more complicated than I thought. I don’t have a good sense of how much it’s being reduced in quality to run locally.

He started off trying to justify tarriffs based on (his misunderstanding of) the trade deficit. At least that was vaguely relevant to international trade.

Now he just wants a show of respect, and a token one at that, so it’s tempting to just do some useless shit with helicopters to make him go away.
