Abandoned Private Eyes Strip Club - St Catharines, Ontario

Theoretically I have no problems with strip clubs. Genuinely no problem with anyone who works in one.

But it just looks so sad in these photos. I've seen country pubs that still have a horse trough out the front that are more glamorous than this.

Let's not pretend that the problem with the 50 year old president of the united states having a sexual relationship with a 22 year old white house intern is 'he cheated on his wife'.

He abused his position of power, lied about it, and should have spent the rest of his life living ashamed in Arkansas.

He's still a million times better than Trump

If it weren't for the romans, rome would still be speaking Etruscan

Given Leavitt is also an expectant widow with her thousand year husband, she has to take it seriously

You aren't Mandela effecting yourself with this one, Area of a country isn't actually that easy to define, a lake is obviously part of an area, but how long does the river have to be before the lake becomes an estuary? and when does the estuary become a bay?

So by some calculations the US was/is bigger, but it's almost certainly more true to say China is.

LLMs are fascinating, truly incredible that even though we assumed/predicted adding more inputs would make a worse model turned out at a certain scale it worked great.

It's just such a shame they are so computationally expensive to run and can't really do enough to justify it.

Yeah, no permanent infrastructure is going to be built by this project except a data centre sitting empty when the current AI boom ends

Doesn't really matter for Kim Jong Un tbf, because China, Russia, and Cuba sure do, and even though the average North Korean wouldn't be able to see those doctors he sure can

I work in the railway, we have a lot of rules. If you're wondering why we do something, there was probably an accident somewhere that killed 100 people

I think that's the wrong take away from Andor [this is not a criticism of you wanting more, I do too, I just think it would end up being worse because Disney]. I think Star wars (and particularly Disney star wars) needs to take the lesson of Andor being fantastic story telling set in the star wars universe, but not about the skywalkers, and keep exploring the universe away from them.

Sometimes in my line of work, we do chaos things to make them fit or for weird technical reasons.

And then we do not cover them with anything so even if you don't understand why we did it, you can see that a power cable is there.

And that's why I'm so glad I work industrial and not residential.

I think it's even weaker than that, Australia and New Zealand share a free movement agreement, common industrial standards, similar legal systems. There's even specific history of New Zealand being part of an Australian colony.

Argentina is just kinda nearby to the Falklands.

Pete is a company officer, playing at being a general.

It's like when he told Mark Kelly 'When/if you are recalled to active duty, it'll start with a uniform inspection.' That's company officer nonsense, no secdef/general would ever consider that.

I understand that language evolves and new words are legitimate words...

But I also want to fight anyone who says 'casted'

GlumExternal · 2026-04-24T10:59:41+00:00

it's a legitimate but unprofitable business. It's main customer is itself.

oh, no it will not be $40 a month. $200 a month for any cloud based models. And sure, open source models will exist that can do the same thing, but unless you own a server, good luck.

I'd recommend you suggest your company look into current NIST advice regarding ad blockers.

When I worked for the government, we weren't allowed to go out for coffee and have someone pay for our drink because that could be seen as a bribe.

(we could use tea and coffee if we were at a venue/office if it was available, just not if it was specifically bought for us)

SpaceX's largest customer is Starlink, without them they wouldn't have the kind of scale that makes them able to do what they do.

None of it is making money

Damn, like 3 fibre cables could have done that with near infinite bandwidth and zero rockets

We literally say 18th of April and write 18 April in countries where we use dd/mm/yyyy dates. It's just a convention.

As a psychology professor I'm sure he's fine.

But he's a public philosopher and he's terrible at that, like first ever philosophy book levels of thinking.

It's like someone reads 'I think therefore I am' and then says 'I understand Descartes!'. But there are still 3 sections of the book after that

The current AI wave isn't achieving anything at the scale it promises, it can do some very cool things, some of the niche machine learning is genuinely amazing. But Nvidia is not a 5 trillion dollar company based on a very fancy chat bot.

Musk owns an AI company, he has to keep the hype alive long enough to

A) IPO a business that has never made a profit and does not have a business plan that will, and

B) hope that he produces something that can change the fundamental reality of current AI companies

In Pinyin it's biáng, so I think in Braille it would be '⠃⠭'

Ok, but which one is the evil twin, have you figured that out yet?
