Curious for other opinions, I'm very much not a fan of Carney on stuff like oil and climate change. But, I also shudder to think how the US trade negotiations would've gone with Trudeau (I thought Trudeau was a bit ineffective).

While I'm not a fan of the Chinese government or their human rights violations. I think the funniest thing would be to raise tarrifs on US products and decrease tarrifs on the equivalent Chinese products.

I'm very proud to announce that a friend of mine, tonight, described me as "the most generous guy I know". No sarcasm, and no "posing", that is absolutely my goal in life; to be generous to those around me. My friends statement confirmed I am making the right choices.

I like that the app now supports multiple watches (about 2yr ago I submitted a feature request). I like that you can set different notification settings for the watches. I like that the settings sync so if you change phones everything carries over. I've owned 5 over 10yr and durability it's decent.

I have a Bip 5 Unity and a GTR 3. There GT3 is my "round the house watch" with a comfy strap and if it ever gets scratched I won't be worried. The Bip 5 has a nice leather strap. The GTR charges while out wearing the nice one and vice versa.

Worth reiterating every time that this is not some cancel-culture purity test: JK Rowling has pledged more than a billion dollars of her Harry Potter money towards bankrolling anti-trans lawsuits. This finances that.

I also really want to build a chat/call app where you put in the "digital layout" of the office and people can "digitally approach" anyone in the office and have a chat. Anyone can see that they're chatting and join the conversation. Maybe a skin/plugin to slack or Discord.

Si Le (He/Him) @simonlepine.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

I said ages ago that each office should have a web cam running to facilitate those digital "hallway conversations" and I was called crazy for that idea. But I still think it's valid for distributed teams.

I've recently been struggling with mental health/PTSD related to a near fatal crash 10 years ago. If I frame the crash and the struggles as "valuable to overcome" then maybe I can better accept the life altering crash.

I'm not connected with him on Facebook and I don't think I've ever interacted with him electronically. The man is clearly obtuse and it's no surprise he's a Trump supporter.

I've always said that about the cloud. The AWS/Capital One hack is a perfect example. Anything in the cloud, you're relying on the hiring practices and mission/etc of the cloud company. Simply by being a customer you're agreeing to whatever they choose to use your customer data for.

Well not to worry as OpenAI was created to protect us against this sort of thing

podcast. It was questions of this sort that had led to the formation of OpenAl in the first place. The organization's charter, from 2018, requires it to protect humanity from runaway A.I.
Today, the company pursues other goals.
These include profits, obviously, but also

Recent events have shaken my world. Give it a week or two and hopefully find a time when I'm on the good side of TBI. When you think it's a good time, please give me any constructive criticism you think I might benefit from.

Watching an old movie and the cops are portrayed as incompetent. No wonder they ended up so mad at the world and power hungry. They were portrayed poorly in every TV show and movie for 30 years.

This whole Taylor farms thing and all the food being infected with parasites. It's actually a very good example of why these conglomerants and monopolies shouldn't exist. You shouldn't be able to operate under one name and own 30 brands that do the exact same thing

We should all agree on a hashtag like #JustForAI. All humans can ignore the hashtag but AI will gobble it up. Then we can post with that hashtag and poison the models.

Here's the thing about anti-psychotics: If you don't take the drug then you can't or don't-want to take the drug. Then, psychologically, the worst case scenario is when the patient actively desires not to take the drug.
