There is no such thing as “Best” #LLM.

There is simply, the best use of a specific LLM to solve a specific problem by a skilled human who knows the underlying training and prompts for the problem that needs to be solved.

#LLM Models will come and go like toilet paper, #AI ecosystems will survive.

There was a CTV piece going around today quoting a bunch of American business owners in tourist hotspots saying “Come on, Canadians, get over yourselves and come back.” And the thing is, there’s just so much about America that has to be torn down and rebuilt before we can possibly trust it again.
Ah here comes @cnn.com with the bullshit straight out of 2003

Il est temps de bâtir un Canada à votre portée.
 
Mon gouvernement fera du Canada la principale superpuissance au monde en matière d’énergie, bâtira des logements à un rythme inédit depuis la Seconde Guerre mondiale et formera des milliers de travailleurs qualifiés de plus.

Poilievre won’t let journalists travel with him, won’t take questions from certain media, won’t take follow-up questions, won’t get a security clearance

This is not the behaviour of a trustworthy statesman who can be trusted to lead Canada

We need to make sure he doesn’t get the chance

I’ve long used FiveThirtyEight’s interactive “Hack Your Way To Scientific Glory” to illustrate the idea of p-hacking when I teach statistics. But ABC/Disney killed the site earlier this month :(

So I made my own with #rstats and Observable and #QuartoPub ! stats.andrewheiss.com/hack-your-way/

Incoming prime minister Mark Carney said he would meet Donald Trump when the U.S. president shows "respect" for Canadian sovereignty and is ready to work on a common comprehensive approach to trade.

Carney said Trump's steel and aluminum tariffs are "unjustified," and that they breach the Canada-U.S.-Mexico free trade deal.

Dear Americans,

I know it’s hard - when my American friends speak (even as a non-religious person) I think, “there but for the grace of god, go I.”

When Canadians post about being threatened, don’t - DO NOT - say it’s harder on you.

We didn’t elect him - 🇺🇸 made him our problem - respect that.

Canada good news!!! The USA trade deficit numbers came out this morning!

This Wharton School economics professor was shocked at how bad the numbers were!

The world is cutting back on USA made goods!

Worst percentage drop in 75 years!

In the professor’s own words!!
