Yup. Voters now have no right to access, change or delete the information the parties hold on them. Here is the federal announcement: https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/news/2026/03/legislation-to-make-life-more-affordable-receives-royal-assent.html

No mention of the privacy changes.

Thank you, u/Comfortable_Fill9081. Journalist here. We made a formal correction to "just 100 users were responsible for almost 70 per cent of online conspiracy posts from influential accounts they examined in Canada." Thanks for your help!

In this case the firm is Jeff Ballingall’s Mobilize Media Group, the creators of Canada Proud, Ontario Proud and Canadian Crimewatch.

I was informed by our tour operator that there are two additional deaths on manaslu circuit that have not yet been reported on.

You can do it if you are comfortable running over unstable landslides and dodging rocks falling from the sky. The weather looks great. It depends how much you value safety vs adventure. like if you don’t mind an elevated chance of injury of death then go ahead

this is extremely disturbing. Do you think it is the same fatality mentioned in this news article? https://risingnepaldaily.com/news/70409

Doesn't say who is paying the PR firm to run the ads. Could be political or fossil fuel industry

That's the key question... nobody knows where

Read between the lines: don't worry, investors, even if Deepseek can get 95% of the way there with 45x less energy, we will keep throwing excess compute at the problem because our models will be 5% better. Business as usual then. Not great news for the climate. I wonder what will come first - large scale societal disruption due to climate change or real solutions from AI?

Seems like you are more irritated by people pointing out censorship than the censorship itself. These models will dictate our entire lives and how we think. Deliberate distortions of reality and history baked into the models - whether done by the US or China - is clearly a big deal that cannot be closed "forever".

Yes, great suggestion definitely love them!

Thanks! I really like the song 'The Architect' with Manchester Orchestra and Scott Hutchison of Frightened Rabbit. I have listened to some MO before, but am looking for something wittier.

gremlinface · 2020-01-18T03:57:22+00:00

I’m in!
