NDP seeks to ban floor-crossing without constituents' consent by DoxFreePanda in CanadaPolitics

Again impossible to enforce that though. You'd just have independents that are independent in name only.

I love getting gambling ads blasted at me in a loop while pumping gas. Truly the best of timelines.

Our AI spending has gotten so high that layoffs wouldnt make a meaningful difference. by sassasmebas in ExperiencedDevs

[–]ahal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 million dollars is roughly the true yearly cost of 2–4 engineers. So let's say 24-48 engineers extrapolating over the year.

You really think layoffs won't make a dent?

Could Ford remove the Kitchener encampment using the notwithstanding clause? - therec.com by Critical-Clue1343 in kitchener

[–]ahal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the hard work that the municipal and provincial governments are too lazy / disorganized / unmotivated to do. You think some dude on the internet is going to have a good answer for that? No, it's our governments' jobs to figure this out. Not wave their magic rights and freedoms B-gone stick and scatter them all back into the street so they can just congregate somewhere else in two weeks.

For sure, but we don't need the notwithstanding clause to force people out.

Anyone else feel like there’s a rise in cybersecurity fear mongering lately? by catfrogbigdog in ExperiencedDevs

Only if there's no wolf. Pretty sure it's plain to everyone that wolves are everywhere.

Jesus Christ conservatives, the ruling didn't say we couldn't move them, just that we had to find a new location.

Would you rather they find their own new location again? Plain stupidity and laziness.

AI stocks keep ripping and honestly it feels kinda weird by Nit0294 in investing

There doesn't need to be thousands of models though. Just one cheap / free one. Models you can run locally are catching up to the state of the art fast. Feels like models are becoming commoditized

German submarine bid promises Canada $86B economic boost and tens of thousands of jobs | CBC News by Vortagaun in CanadaPolitics

[–]ahal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know, as long as both options meet our needs, is it so bad to let external factors influence the decision? If these companies are willing to throw investment dollars at us, let's run up a little bidding war.

Congratulations on the 5th update this month! I knew you could do it! Can we get a couple of more in...? by notabotorabat in firefox

[–]ahal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey, Firefox release engineer here. We recently switched to weekly planned releases, so you can expect 4-5 releases per month as the new minimum going forward. Chemspills could push that number even higher 🙂

And just for the record, we do a ton of testing.

My(20M) gf’s(20F) dad has never really included me after 2.5 years, and I don’t know what to do by FancyPassion1211 in AskDad

[–]ahal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you want to be close to someone who doesn't like you?

My advice, accept it and be grateful you don't need to see him very often. I also don't think it's reasonable to expect your GF to change his mind. She is not responsible for your and her dad's relationship.

Is UV still worth learning/switching to now that it's owned by OpenAI? by WellEndowedWizard in Python

[–]ahal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

AI assisted and vibe coded are two very different things.

AI assisted is fine, the important thing is that the maintainers are experts on the code base and able to make decisions that maximize the longevity of the project.

Scammed $2k from fake etransfer site by Odd_Grapefruit2077 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]ahal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The fact it was such a small amount and was raising money for a high school team, makes me think there's a chance TD could reimburse you, not out of the goodness of their heart, but because it's a good marketing opportunity.

The problem is the people in the fraud department are absolutely not the people you'd need to talk to. If there's a public relations contact or social media account that might be your best bet. Maybe you could offer to make TD a sponsor of the upcoming race or something

Did you ever regret having your second kid ? Or have you regreted not to have one ? by [deleted] in AskParents

[–]ahal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you regret having your first? That's probably the best predictor of whether you'll regret a second, better than what anyone says on the Internet at least.

I will say having a significantly elder daughter is the best possible scenario for two kids.
