But with blackjack and hookers!

Unfortunately good N95 protection isn’t trivially cheap so it really sucks that people often on min wage have to supply their own or get coughed on.

Mask up with a reputable, well-fitting N95 in crowded places. I have survived many bus rides with actively secreting people next to me without getting sick since I learned to do it a few years ago. My fav is Moldex 2600 but there are many others.

And electricity prices permeate thru a whole lot of other prices as oil does. So this is inflationary. How much, I don’t know.

Internally, and for their shareholders’ benefit alone.

I hope you’re right and I do think that’s likely what’s happening but I’m not certain.

That’s not what I’m talking about. I’m saying that any diffetrnce in treatment must be clear and well signed. Not based on personal judgment and interpretation of one signage or another. And I do think we have to be separated from vehicle traffic in physical ways. Fuck vehicular cycling (just coming off of NJB’s video) 😄

I know but I think this should happen for all vehicles. If we want lower speeds on back roads, we should speed limit or even better, narrow them instead of sprinkling stop signs that some people treat as yields.

I think as of now RCAF still wants them and the deal isn’t off yet. I imagine it’s also a card that’s used in the negotiations with the US. I wouldn’t be surprised if we end up staying with the F35s.

There’s research that shows the process of accumulating so much wealth both selects and creates sociopaths. This is why they’re very overrepresented in the upper class. Sure, not all of them are. Maybe you’d be the exception. I also think I’d be the exception but I’m not too confident. :D

Dear sir/madam, NVIDIA 550 is available in the Debian stable repo itself so no need for third party repos and therefore no significant risk of breakage. If that driver works well enough you’re good. Ubuntu LTS has NVIDIA 580 in its official repo. I’m running in on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS as I write. Then of course if you’re on Debian and NVIDIA 550 does not work for you, you could grab the official driver installer from NVIDIA which would very likely work fine on Debian stable, and it won’t break on its own via Debian updates since Debian stable doesn’t ship major version changes of its packages between releases. You’d likely have to uninstall, then reinstall every few years when you upgrade to the next stable Debian release, but that’s best practice for anything that was installed outside of Debian’s repo.

There’s always a possibility for unintended fuckups but these methods are fairly safe and stable. Using 3rd party repos is significantly more risky to break things one of those days as you innocently apt upgrade.

The only important indicator. Everything else is window dressing.

And ONpoli if in Ontario. Actually Steve Paikin does a separate one too. He had Avi Lewis on.

We’d likely have to go through socialism before that anyways so it’ll be a while indeed.

It may be even better than sliced bread.

You make Karp sad. Why won’t you buy his profit-driven narrative?

Of course he does. But false dichotomy aside, China has a good chance “winning the AI race” anyway. Given their existing work, the investment they’re doing in higher education, the additional internationally trained talent they get every year, and the industrial base that lets them make cheap energy and hardware, I think at the very least China has a decent chance to create equivalent tools at a lower price than whatever the US AI industry creates. If they come out with a competitive hardware and sell it at lower margins, along with free models as they already offer… I think a lot of firms and governments would opt for that instead of paying for NVIDIA and OpenAI.

But why aren’t there any famous women scientists?

As another software guy, I second this advice. Resolving a driver issue on Debian Stable or a Debian-based distro (for example) is typically much easier and would cause many fewer problems down the road than going to a less predictable OS to solve a driver problem. The underlying OS contains so much more software than a driver that the likelihood of introducing problems when changing the OS is way higher. I used to solve hardware issues by changing OS back in the 2000s when I didn’t know any better. Once I learned enough to keep a stable base OS and modify just the bits that need modifying, I stopped reinstalling. My main machine was last reinstalled in 2014. It’s been running Ubuntu LTS since then. Its hardware platform has been changed multiple times.

Replace most of these:
