As @jameswsthomson.com noted already, the sheer audacity of Carney to begin his oil pipeline announcement by mentioning a wildfire that almost levelled the town. WHAT IS EXACERBATING THE WILDFIRES MARK???? MARK???

Also, to all the people on here who yelled at me for saying it felt like the conservatives actually won when Mark Carney got into power... any new thoughts?

There's a town about an hour and a half's drive from me with a population barely over 1k, yet it has two pizza places right across the street from each other on the main road. I asked a friend who lived there why and he said "It's two brothers who used to own one together but they had a fight."

Mark Carney worked with bankers to help mitigate the financial fall out for Epstein clients. He is implicated. His old boss Stephen Harper is implicated, as well as several Canadian businesses he has awarded government contracts to. #cdnpoli 🧵

This is absolutely terrifying from a data security point of view. Many corporations use Google Workspace and you have to have the admin opt OUT of Gemini for everyone because they've been opted in by default. This is why we never use cloud software for anything sensitive. Too risky!

One way you can show Microsoft your concern is here through the XBOX Player Voice feedback platform: feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/ide...

Yesterday’s layoffs at Bethesda Games Studios were not a cut of “14 layers of management”. We lost dozens of programmers, artists, designers and testers. Many of whom worked at BGS for decades.

If Bethesda fans are worried this will harm the quality of our future games, like TES VI, let Microsoft know!

Almost everyone in the US has seen these photos at some point: Nazi book burnings, seared into our national psyche as the quintessential expression of fascist tyranny. But few people know what books they were burning, beyond the fact that many of the books’ authors were Jewish.

OpenClaw is interesting, but will also drain your wallet if you aren't careful.
Last night around midnight I loaded my Anthropic API account with $20, then went to bed.
When I woke up, my Anthropic balance was $O.
Opus was checking "is it daytime yet?" every 30 minutes, paying $0.75 each time to conclude "no, it's still night."
Doing literally nothing, OpenClaw spent the entire balance. How?

The "Heartbeat" cron job, even though literally the only thing I had going was one silly reminder, ("remind me tomorrow to get milk")
1. Sent ~120,000 tokens of context to Opus
4.5
2. Opus read HEARTBEAT md, thought about reminders
3. Replied "HEARTBEAT_OK"
4. Cost: ~$0.75 per heartbeat (cache writes)
The damage:
- Overnight = ~25+ heartbeats
- 25 × $0.75 = ~$18.75 just from heartbeats alone
- Plus regular conversation = ~$20 total
The absurdity: Opus was essentially checking
"is it daytime yet?" every 30 minutes, paying $0.75 each time to conclude "no, it's still night."
