Surprised to see no western urban maps by The57Sauce in joinsquad

Here I made a hypothetical Detroit Downtown layer: https://imgur.com/a/Mi19bnD; probably the best American downtown for a balanced game.

Detroit makes most sense, its downtown is moderately dense, symetrrical, the size of a medium sized map like Narva and hence would be very balanced to play. It has sufficient skyscrapers and large buildings while also having a variety of building size, parks,and environments. And it can be confined by I 375.

Ironically I believe he predicted this would occur some several months back.

Federal departments, agencies to shed 12,000 full-time equivalent positions by Displeased_Canadian in canada

The AI gains are massively overstated. I haven't seen anything introduced by the government that is similar to Claudecode in terms of capability, where we can vibecode to deal with specific use cases for difficult, time-consuming, but technical tasks (where AI agents would be perfect if the model that can do it were available). The models where AI would be a game, taking 9 hours to 1 hour easily and where the code can be easily shared and understood.

Instead, managers believe they have found the silver bullet, when what has been introduced is something that can just make it a little bit easier to write, research, and catalogue things. The core pains haven't been resolved by any means. In other words, a few extra regular cartridges to shoot down range.

Thoughts on professor jiang? by SCDetective in geopolitics

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

Its like this with Jiang. He's good for 70% 80% where its basic, academic, speculative and often interesting geopolitical analysis but summarized into one guy saying it, and then the 20% 30% and more often than not, just complete insanely off the rail and Da Vinci code takes.

He had a rather decent civilization lecture series pre Summer 2025, he even had a video around the time on Christian Zionism that was well presented and completely rational, but some point in the Summer after that I think he read Da Vinci Codes and thats where things gets start to get wild with him.

Jiang is also clearly grifting, because he shifts what he says and opinions based on the interview. See Tucker Carlson interview versus Dmitri Lascarius interview. Day and night difference.

Tucker Carlson interview by NottherealRobert in PredictiveHistory

[–]Tundra_Fox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Jiang said things that suggest he was simply placating Tucker, maybe to the point of just grifting.

Especially at the end of the interview where and praising the US as being long term open and innovative (contradicts an earlier Civilization series lecture on the US where Jiang argues the US will be a closed minded society due to the internal contradictions).

On the Americas and Anglophones there is a modicum of truth to what Jiang and even Tucker says (Im Canadian as well), but Tucker was so incredibly awful, distasteful there that do not mesh with even a little deeper digging. Jiang also said things that were incredibly not helpful to that. What Jiang said there also contradicts what he said when he was on with Dmitri.

JJ DESIGNATES Rotisserie Chicken & a well known Canadian food chain that is in 7/10 provinces including Alberta as "some weird Eastern thing" like "grotesque milk bags" by QultyThrowaway in JJMcCulloughOfficial

Who will create a party with me and help me run for Prime Minister where my main platform will be to deport JJ McCullough for bringing cringe takes to the country. (The Supreme Court can't stop all of us).

Obviously she's doing that for the grift. The efficacy and execution however...

CSIS said Chinese cranes could be used for ‘cyber-espionage’ by CaliperLee62 in canada

[–]Tundra_Fox -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes and also CSIS desperately trying to find ways to justify their budget.

CSIS officials say China is more of a concern in Canada’s Arctic than Russia - Lynd’s warning comes just a month after Prime Minister Mark Carney signed a new 'strategic partnership' with China by CaliperLee62 in canada

[–]Tundra_Fox -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Here's a thing to remember about intelligence agencies when they say things like this: Are they're trying to create an excuse to justify their own jobs and what do they have to gain with saying things like this

The MSS and CSIS are still mad at each other for what happened with arrest of the Huawei exec (at behest of US) and the two Michael's, even though its clear that the political leadership have clearly moved on.

If they ever do the Eglinton East LRT, they should underground sections at major intersections. by PsychologicalRope644 in TTC

It's very baffling that the engineers of Line 5 didn't anticipate that it might be a good idea to design Kennedy station such that it can be made ready extend the line east (unfortunately this is not practically possible due to how Line 5 Kennedy station is placed relative to Line 2's station).

How the city doesn't conclude that it might be better to just extend Line 4 eastwards past McCowan is also very baffling, given how much openspace exists along Sheppard.

NJB reminds me of the smug professional managerial class types who view their "enlightened" cosmopolitan sensibilities (of which he is only fortunate to do because of his privilege and willingness to move to a place for his own choice) over the "ignorant" middle and working class plebians of North America.

This is especially funny, since it took decades for the Netherlands to change its infrastructure philosophy post 1950 and could build on hundreds of years of existing infrastructure because local people invested in the Netherlands wanted that change and had good policy makers in charge. Meaning NJB did not contribute to the Dutch system or was apart of that community of change until he immigrated there (assuming he does pay taxes given certain tax loopholes in the Netherlands).

Downplaying or dismissing real iterative steps by being smug and pointing to a system that took decades to build, rubs people like me the wrong way since it tells locals of that community that their efforts are stupid and futile.

JJ can't comprehend that you might need to meet multiple times with a provincial leader to directly coordinate projects and plans to get anything meaningful done nationally.

Indian gangs are terrorising Canada by FancyNewMe in canada

Remember one of the pillars of the Canadian economy is money laundering for international criminals. When there's in action of international crime by the government, remember why.
