100 GB of emails? The heck are these people sending?

Time to axe the section of our law that mirrors DMCA 1201 (the anti circumvention section). We were forced to put it in place to maintain tariff-free trade with the US, but I don't see a reason to keep it in place anymore.

US tech oligarch would sure hold a lot fewer cards if that happened.

GPUs are specialized to be able to very quickly manipulate vectors, by using a principle called Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD). Where a CPU would have to individually operate on each element of a vector, a GPU can operate on all the elements in one go.

So maybe you could call it a SIMD card or Vector Accelerator or something like that.

I wonder how many of those "empty" condos are listed on airbnb right now.

Trek you yourself wreck before yourself.

Got a nice ring to it. Very logical.

Fair, but then again, iOS autocorrect isn't exactly not AI.

Most people aren't taking the time to type in ctrl+shift+u+2+0+1+4 when a regular minus-dash would get the point across with a single keystroke. But there is enough of a distinction that some people (like you and I) will use the proper punctuation when there is an opportunity to do so.

What I find far more suspicious is the unicode hyphen, because no human would be able to tell the difference, and would therefore always choose to input a minus.

My intuition says it's probably LLM training. AI companies have been increasingly DDoSing the entire web for a while now.

From the library of Jurgen Leitner, no doubt.

"Just let me pander to these fringe extremists so they stop wanting to leave my party"

Better idea. Don't do that. Tell the fringe extremists to kick bricks, set the UCP on fire, and let the rest of us have 4 years of actual prosperity under the NDP.

Odds are pretty damn good, I'd say.

Still, it's a distinction barely worth making. Garden varity pigs doing this shit are equally as unjust as brand name Pigs doing it.

I'm interested to know how that works. Can amazon not treat the addressee as the "importer" like Canada Post can?
