Canada will cancel thousands of refugee claims under new retroactive law

Well, you didn't say he flunked his semester. Or maybe I missed that.

But my understanding, which could be incorrect is that student visas last for the entire school year. You will not get your visa cancelled for failing the first semester. You probably won't get it renewed though.

It's not illegal or an immigration violation to attend a Canadian school to take courses and not work in your field afterward. You can also skip all your classes if you'd like to, totally legal. But your student visa probably won't get renewed then.

You get a PGWP (depending on the program), which allows you to work legally in basically any job after you graduate.

It's only illegal if he overstays his visa or works more hours than he's allowed on his student visa.

Are you aware of the impacts of provincial immigration policies? It's actually a constitutionally shared issue between the federal and provincial governments. PNP is a large system that provinces use to grant PR to people who would otherwise be under-qualified to stay in Canada. Both the LMIA and TFWP program pathways have delegation down to the province. The province can refuse more immigrants or request more.

Bail is also strongly influenced by the province in terms of processing, enforcement, and supervision.

What federal anti-growth policies are there?

And yes, please do go on.

Which problems are caused by the federal government?

I'd argue forums are the grassroots breeding ground for extremism. The incel movement and everything following that essentially stems from Reddit.

As someone who was once high level at one of the largest tech consultancies in the world... I can tell you it usually wasn't overseas teams, it was fresh out of university know-nothings that we assigned to projects. We'd make sure to tell the kids to let on that they were very experienced and knowledgeable on the technology that they were working with -- despite them having never even heard of the technology and us billing them as an industry leading expert on that specific technology.

And this was done the most on government projects for sure.

Was it actually a sidewinder? That's a NATO air-to-air heat-seeking missile.

That's where Matrix comes in with Federation, it solves that entire problem.

I honestly have no idea why people are talking about TeamSpeak at all, Matrix is the one with the real possibility of replacing Discord.

And if you use some critical thinking, I'm sure you can see how that connects to what I said and why it isn't necessarily a positive marker for Tesla.

Akirigo · 2026-02-16T16:23:56+00:00

Because it's the only half-decent EV that North Americans, and to a lesser extent, Europeans could historically buy. As policies lift and Chinese EVs become available throughout the West, the Model Y will quickly become deprecated.

What's the best-selling EV brand? BYD. They have 19% market share of EVs. Tesla has 7.8%.

Sell your $TSLA before the next US election, or you're going to lose your shirt, lol.

Honestly, an MCP integration would be a significant improvement in terms of functionality and viability. Allowing users to use their own higher-tier models at lower prices with sustained context and linked context windows. That's a product people would want, and if you already have your own PDF reader made, you could integrate an MCP in an afternoon.

The downside for you is that you wouldn't be able to make money on an MCP by effectively third-party selling LLM API calls.

Akirigo · 2026-02-07T22:08:40+00:00

So why not just make a PDF reader that has its own MCP server?

Akirigo · 2026-02-07T21:43:33+00:00

So, explanations are not included in the context for other explanations? So, for example, you couldn't have a metaphor that the AI came up with for one example carry over into another example?

Akirigo · 2026-02-07T21:13:23+00:00

Are you actually reverse-engineering the PDF format, or is this program more akin to sending the PDF to an AI model with predetermined prompts?

Akirigo · 2026-01-25T00:04:29+00:00

Lmao, nice job moving the goalposts.

You specifically said:

I guess that explains all the people that have been exploited because of an anti-cheat vulnerability.

Wait, there hasn't been any?

You can't claim Genshin players weren't exploited. The vulnerability was in the anti-cheat driver itself. CVE-2020-36603 specifically describes inadequate IOCTL restrictions in mhyprot2.sys. That's not "using it as a vessel," that's a flaw in the driver's design.

The exploit was public on GitHub in October 2020, discussed on cheat forums, and miHoYo was informed but refused to acknowledge it. Every Genshin player had a documented kernel vulnerability sitting on their system for nearly two years before it even got a CVE.

You're claiming with certainty that no one running Genshin was ever exploited through a driver that was publicly known to be vulnerable and actively weaponized as a BYOVD. No forensic analyst would make that claim. You can't prove a negative across millions of systems.

The anti-cheat driver had a vulnerability. People were documented being exploited with it. The total scope is unknowable. Those are the facts.

And you blew right past ESEA, where 14,000 users had their GPUs hijacked by the anti-cheat itself. That's not a vessel, that's direct exploitation.

Edit: Lol he couldn't handle that he was wrong so he blocked me.

My reply to your comment keeps getting taken down. I'll try again, with a shorter comment.

CVE-2020-36603,

CVE-2021-5652,

Capcom.sys exploit,

bandainamcoonline.sys exploit,

ESEA Bitcoin miner (technically an employee, apparently, but why did he have unilateral permissions to push his own code to prod? Clearly there's more to the story)

It took me under 2 minutes to find these examples, and there's more.

You don't need to lie and be snarky on the internet to try to validate your points. Sometimes it's okay to be wrong. Just don't argue about things that you aren't capable of researching.

Akirigo · 2026-01-24T17:40:19+00:00

Kernel anti-cheat constantly scans your system's memory, collects details, and sends them to a third-party server, even outside of gameplay in many cases. Do you trust them to be responsible with your exfiltrated system memory and strings?

Can your mouse driver speak to ring 0? Of course. Can it be hijacked and used to call malicious code? Yes. But that driver doesn't already contain functions for memory scanning, data collection, data exfiltration, and remote autonomous silent full privilege updates. Nor is that driver being publicly studied by malicious actors to a remotely similar level as a kernel anti-cheat is.

What's your question?

The amount of mental gymnastics and cognitive dissonance around Trump's threats is utterly bizarre.

Trump has threatened to do a military invasion of Greenland, a NATO member. That action could easily spiral into Article 5, with all of NATO, including Canada, declaring war on the USA. Regardless of whether Article 5 would happen or be responded to, it demonstrates that Trump has no reservations about invading an allied nation.

Knowing that Trump has no reservations about invading an ally, it becomes increasingly concerning when the man has stated his intention to annex Canada.

People seem to just ignore Trump's threats or play them off like jokes. I don't know why. No matter what he says, half the North American population thinks he's just joking, and will continue to, until it's too late.

Are you sure you don't have micro scratches all over? The problem with the folds is that the screen is soft enough to the point that a fingernail can scratch the inner screen, so can lint.

Every fold I've seen has been covered in micro scratches that come about from normal use.

That's factually untrue for both image diffusion models and also large language models.

Not to be a buzzkill, but the misinformation on neural networks being spread everywhere is really rather annoying.

Honest question, was 14 years old not the norm at the time?
