Thirsty AI data centres are coming to Canada, with little scrutiny or oversight | CBC News
Canada is poised to join the data centre boom. But as such projects face greater scrutiny around the world, there is little debate here about what this will mean for the country’s water.

I’ll take a bit of arm soreness in exchange for the benefits of both the updated covid and current flu vaccines. My arm ache did wake me in the night, though. Otherwise I feel perfectly fine.

In honour of A*azon prime days, I’m going to spend money at a bricks and mortar book store, even though my ‘to read’ pile is already bonkers. McNally Robinson - love you for your participation in my community! I also have a reader reward card, and I don’t subscribe to A*azon prime.

H5N1 is a huge threat. An H5N1 pandemic would make COVID look like a walk in the park. It keeps me up at night. H5N1 is a much more dangerous virus than SARS2. It will wreck agriculture as well as killing people. A deadlier pandemic, w/ added starvation & ecological devastation.

The family went to the Banksy exhibit today (YXE). Would recommend. Currently in Perth and Copenhagen as well if that’s more your style.

You would have to work 505 hours at current SK minimum wage to pay for a year of tuition at USask. In 1990, you would have had to work for 283 hours to pay for a year of tuition. This differential is a disservice to people trying to pursue post secondary. #’:

My crude rain gauge tells me we had 1 and 5/8ths inches of rain overnight in Saskatoon. Everything is nicely watered.

Empty minds are compliant ones
It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.
