This is especially galling when you put it alongside Alberta's International Agreements Act.

I saw one post about it that was actually pretty wholesome, and also not the kind of thing that someone who complaints about it would post.

Had I not seen that, it would have completely passed me by without notice.

Sufficiently wild.

I have seen owls in captivity, and I'm mainly thinking wild as in 'not captive', although the mental image I had was an owl in a tree.

Possibly I've unknowingly seen one, but thought it was tree bark.

I knew a lot of engineers. I figured their program was more practical than my math degree. I spoke with one of them after he got his first job, and it sounded like his degree left a lot of the practical stuff out. That was learnt on the job. The degree was just the foundation.

I studied math, and more on the theoretical side of things, not so much on applications.

I got a lot of 'so what are you going to do with that?'

They can take a break from blaming temporary foreign workers.

Yes, unfortunately. Just before I saw your post, I wondered how long it will be before we hear something from Poilievre about immigrants and food prices, especially since he's been talking a lot about food prices lately.

With supporting infrastructure.

Anyway, if surgeons being paid for their time was actually the problem, then the solution is to pay them...

That is. Actually fund the health care system. That's the government's job!!!

I mean, they couldn't stop us from reading Coles Notes and using them to inform our work. We just couldn't quote from them and include them in the bibliography.

Getting off topic a bit, but it's jarring how educational institutions are encouraging us to use the Coles Notes machine now.

The Coles Notes framing sticks out to me, because we weren't allowed to use them as references in our assignments.

The teachers couldn't stop us from using them, but it was clearly discouraged. They wanted us to actually think through the subject matter.

If something is truly generally artificially intelligent, I should be able to talk to it like I would normally.

There would be no such thing as 'prompt engineering'. It would just be 'writing' or 'talking'.
