ChatGPT writing style is so annoying at this point that it’s genuinely unusable

I like the new commercial space. It's very interesting because the building is integrated with the marina and you get a fancy boat you can rent as a part of it.

Maybe @jensvb.bsky.social knows how to get StatCan to release it?

So many amazing camps and spots in BC are owned by weird US based religious groups. This doesn’t seem ideal.

Didn’t they fix this with their new TOD policy which allows hotels?

Honestly bullish for dev shops if they can adopt these tools. I don't see the random administrator at some government agency vibecoding their whole project. You still need to know how to code to some extent.

My favourite one is that unlike what Brad Pitt says in The Big Short mortality actually fell during the great regression.

Easily the best way to get a piece of misinformation embedded in the general public is to have the smug "smart" character in a TV or movie say something.

Followed by 3 back to back episodes of Americans being interviewed about things happening in America I’m sure. Talk about failing to step up to the moment.

Canada just signed an important new trade deal so of course @jaymepoisson.bsky.social is interviewing an American about America. The producers of this show really wish they were American.

Deepseek R1 runs very well on my M2 Mac with Ollama. It can output stuff about as fast as online model providers which is very impressive.

Oh this is new, Statcan now directly publishes GDP per Capita (though they only use quarter start population which is kind of wrong). www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/t...

Gross domestic product per capita and other per capita macroeconomic indicators

This table contains estimates of gross domestic product per capita and other per capita macroeconomic indicators.

I would love to know the context here

The media elites don't want you to know that immigrants out earn Canadians by a substantial margin, including the 2021 cohort

One thing I've found counter intuitive is that weaker economic conditions seem to mean taller tower rather than the other way around in Vancouver.

One of my favourite things is when a young conservative writes an angry screed against boomers most of the comments will be conservative boomers going #NotAllBoomers since that’s the primary audience for political writing in this country.

Yes it’s actually remarkably clear cut if you read the case

It’s pretty frustrating that basically no one talking about the Cowichan decision wants to engage with the substance that they were promised a reserve but didn’t get one. I guess Governor James Douglas went Woke so it doesn’t count or something.

I somehow got on Australian crime TikTok where every Australian convinces themselves they live in the most dangerous place on earth

I'm always confused by this is that cities that are perceived as dangerous (while not actually being that dangerous) tend to have the highest transit ridership in the US.
