Just did my civic duty for the first time in a municipal election in my adopted country (this is the first one since I got my Canadian citizenship in 2023). If you're eligible, go vote! #bcpoli

I have a question. Why do you think the deficit is "out of control" and why is that "scary"?

Also Photopea, the software that Photosuite has regurgitated isn't made by Adobe, it's developed by one person. So lose all the love you want for Adobe but it's irrelevant to your interjection in this thread.

> I don't think it should be ignored, but the current law is that clean room reverse engineering of software is legal. Sure but that's not what's happening when you involve an LLM. If it's trained on code that you then ask it to reproduce and say "it's a clean room implementation" you're lying.

Well it's that, plus culture war bullshit too. And that's before we get to some of their candidates racist, homophobic and/or anti-trans views. Not to mention the conspiracy theorists.

The first step after "Hello computer" will take him & his LLM months if not years to even get working, nevermind working correctly and cost him hundreds of thousands of dollars. These people.

A leaked letter reveals BC Conservative leader Lorne Doerkson wrote to the insurance industry and trial lawyers on Sept. 29, promising to end no-fault insurance. But now he denies he has made any promises. The NDP calls it a secret deal between the Cons and trial lawyers. #bcpoli #BCElxn

I'd settle for an electorate who understand the difference between a government deficit and their own chequing account. Alas, we live in a society.

Because running a candidate in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_R..., a riding where a former Conservative, now Independent who believes in "chemtrails" and an actual Conservative are going to take 95% of the votes is really important for the NDPs chances of winning the election?

Ken Sim made 93 promises in 2022. How many did he keep? Of six of the major deliverables profiled here, the only thing ABC actually did was pass a community plan. dailyhive.com/vancouver/ke... If you want a city government that delivers, donate, volunteer, and VOTE OneCity on October 17.

SCOTUS already ruled that anything a sitting president does is completely legal. I expect they will change their tune on that in 2 years time but for now, that's the precedent they set.

Coding solves real problems in the real world in ways I am undeniably impressed by. I do not know how to code. When someone says they don't know how to code and that's why they are impressed by using AI to code, it sounds to me like a man with a butcher's knife offering to be your GP.

It won't be just those two. Harman Bhangu will still be there along with Dallas Brodie & Tara Armstrong who will be imminently welcomed back to the BC Conservative fold now that the leadership aligns with their views.

No mention of the 4000 or so unsold condos that were reported only a couple of months ago on that article. www.biv.com/news/real-es... I wonder why developers are building less? Perhaps supply is greater than demand in certain sectors? Is no one left doing actual journalism any more?

I dunno, maybe try something other than First-past-the-post for electing the people to represent you? Perhaps some sort of system where a proportion of votes elects a proportion of govt? Also how about an independent electoral body instead of letting the people in power choose who votes for them?

Agreed. It felt like the writers and Apple TV execs were locked into a game of chicken over how many seasons it would get. The writers lost & we got that terrible season 3 finale because they had to end it & stuffed at least another half season of show into one episode.

"if you pay me maybe I'll use LESS AI" is a new desperate plea I haven't seen before

This game uses AI in various places. A a solo developer it was nearly impossible to put out this game in a meaningful time frame or act on feedback without leveraging AI as a tool. I'm happy to reduce AI usage if the game is financially stable enough through your support! Thank you in advanced if we ever get that opportunity.

It does if you simulate everything e.g. Dwarf Fortress. But most games take shortcuts wherever they can for good reason. Otherwise you either have to limit the number of AI actors at any time in the game or your game turns into a slideshow.
