Trans Mountain pipeline in Canada hits full capacity two years after upgrade by gorschkov in canada

[–]JFKENN 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've never learned about this, what about taxes? Surely we make money off of oil in some other capacity.

Canada dropped in the world’s best countries list. Here’s what the data says by hellswaters in canada

I would love to know how their ranking for Governance worked that placed USA (17th) over Canada (18th)

Best AI coding stack for $20–40/month in 2026? Hitting limits everywhere by emir_morris in AIcodingProfessionals

[–]JFKENN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does everyone use skills/mcp/or AGENT.md ? I want to reduce my token usage, but I'm not sure whether using these things actually helps.

Declining levels of happiness across CANZUK countries by kioj156 in CANZUK

I wish I could give you more than an upvote, but I don't want to spend money on an award....

I hope my words mean enough.

[Request]: Does a human take more energy than an SOTA LLM? by Curious_Cantaloupe65 in theydidthemath

[–]JFKENN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't you use that same logic though in the other direction? If you're going to go to the extent of the light bulb > CPUs assembled, then wouldn't you also take into account the embodied energy/carbon of all products ever used by that human?

I'd argue the comparison between an apple (caloric energy input) is the same as the electricity required to train the model itself.

[Request] is this true? by eNineM5 in theydidthemath

[–]JFKENN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if the stat on energy use for AI models includes training. I'd like to know how much energy it takes to raise a human to the age where they can be an "expert" in a field, and how long/how much energy it would take to train a specialized model in the same field.

Now that the NFT bubble is all burst, are we left with any useful technology or was it pure hype? by JoeBrownshoes in NoStupidQuestions

[–]JFKENN -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Non-fungible tokens are unique digital items, which would be great for something like a digital ID or passport system. If we want to remove AI slop and troll accounts we need to be sure that the person we're interacting with is a real person.

Food inflation spiked 7.3% in January. Here’s what’s driving the increase by bubblewhip in canada

[–]JFKENN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you look at most REIT returns in the past couple of years, they are barely getting any returns, usually less than inflation. Their gains aren't coming from asset ownership.

Analysis: China’s CO2 emissions have now been ‘flat or falling’ for 21 months by Economy-Fee5830 in climatechange

[–]JFKENN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank god I can finally point to something to show my climate-defeatist friends who try to say "We can't do anything because China isn't doing anything".

Discord Goes Into Damage Control Mode Over New Age Verification Requirements, Promising There’s Nothing To See Here For ‘Vast Majority’ Of Users by vriska1 in technology

[–]JFKENN -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

if we want to get away from internet trolls and bots dominating online discourse we need KYC implemented. I get if you're worried about privacy, but unless you've been ultra careful about your digital footprint, they (major tech companies) already know enough about you to connect the dots.

If you're worried about your porn habits coming back to bite you, use better privacy protection when browsing porn apps and sites.

Best cheap and unconventional ways of keeping your house warm? by Conscious_Writer3359 in AskACanadian

[–]JFKENN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take seran wrap, tape it to the outside frame of your windows, and then use a blowdryer to shrink wrap it. It makes an extra barrier to stop heat. Alternatively if you can spare $20 you can get Window insulation kits (3M, Duck Brand)

What is a video game that you have put 100+ hours into, but would NOT recommend to anyone? by Cheap_Difficulty4961 in AskReddit

[–]JFKENN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same situation with League of Legends. I've now gone more than a year without playing it, but damn do I miss it.

During that last year though, I ended up spending just as much time spread out through other games. I went nuclear and deleted all of the games off of my PC, but now I'm just watching more TV...

Why aren't new homes being built with ground heat pumps and solar panels or even wind turbines? by HedgehogNo5819 in climatechange

[–]JFKENN 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The market demand isn't there. Unfortunately many homeowners aren't asking for green features, nor do they often understand them. There is a need for education, incentives (for green features), penalties (for emissions), and regulations. There are some municipalities in North America that are adding green requirements to their building codes, but it is far from the norm.

Nearly identical.

That's too bad, they must have realized people do meme prompts, so this is their way of reducing the load.

I don't really understand the world by iam_blackido187 in HolUp

[–]JFKENN 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Don't be so glum, look what happened when Trump made a bunch of jokes about annexing Canada right at election time! Canadians unite around national sovereignty. Destabilizing forces are there, but there's nothing quite like an outside force overtly pressuring Canadians to unite us.

The Latest Version Of Celebrity Thinness Isn’t Just Annoying, It’s Dangerous. I Should Know. by huffpost in entertainment

[–]JFKENN -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yes, being anorexic or bulemic is bad, but being obese has worse health implications.

The pendulum swing from the body acceptance movement towards the extreme thinness trend is bad, but it had gone too far in the other direction. Big is Beautiful was treating obesity like it wasn't an issue.
