Andrew Coyne; ‘Just because you divide..1 line into 2 doesn’t change the # of patients or..the # of hrs in a dr’s day.All you’ve done is reshuffle the order in which the dr sees them,replacing medical necessity as the triage criterion with ability to pay’

it's not as simple as "hardware has gotten better, software has gotten worse" because a lot of companies making physical devices are lost in the wilderness from a design perspective, but a rule of thumb that anything that charges you monthly gets worse over time works pretty well

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

Went to our town's Xmas parade. Hilights were drum lines, inflatable dog biting inflatable Santa on the butt, giant inflatable chicken with a Santa hat, and a bunch of tiny ninjas with real nunchaku from one of the dojos in town.

As a political scientist, I think the effects on unity are some of the biggest problems with the agreement. It legitimates "Alberta" as an aggrieved party, distinct from other provinces, while treating BC and its peoples to be as issues to be managed, rather than partners in the federation.

So people demand "AI" sycophancy, refuse to interact w/ *less* sycophantic "AI", & then get increasingly ill-disposed toward interacting w/ other human beings, preferring, again, an "AI" system that is actively locking them into a loop of skills dependency, bias confirmation, & hostility.

![Extract from FT article.
According to the Al agency Graphite, at least 52 per cent of internet content was machine-generated by May this year. Not only does this Al-generated content threaten the integrity of the web, it could also endanger the resilience of future AI models.
[Graphic showing that AI-generated content has surpassed human-written articles since early 2025]
If Al models ingest too much synthetic data then there is a danger they might go "mad" - or suffer from model autophagy disorder. When the input for new models increasingly becomes the output of older models then it risks model collapse, says Ethan Smith, Graphite's chief executive.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2cadvbwpkxtuvmv2gpy5laml/bafkreigof2qnhtn5dlbo7igg56kbmmktjddpy4atiuexl2dkhocvlrzq7i@jpeg)

After some time for reflection I think this is one of the biggest open questions that has a big impact on how much climate action we will see in Canada -
unless I'm reading this wrong (?) it doesn't say the carbon floor will be $130 by April. It says there will be an agreement by April 1/

Where does it say $130 in April? it says they will by April agree on what the timeline and price increases are.
I would bet a very large sum of money it will not be $130 effective price in April.
