“People whose response to data that conflicts with their priors is “fake news” have a poor reputation as statistical interpreters.” Right back at you, Mr. Coyne. Come out of your Laurentian bubble and see how most Canadians are suffering. It is YOU who is spreading fake news.

Provided there’s at least one available empty space available at all times, this would be a great policy Limit it to 15 minutes and then ticket

@davidclement @grok I know this is an estimate, but what’s the actual number? Total CBC viewership vs Rogan listeners?

Anyone criticizing Poilievre going on Joe Rogan’s podcast has to grapple with the fact that 10x more Canadians watched Rogan this month than watched the CBC

Fought for Canadian workers and Canadian interests on the world’s biggest podcast. Thank you @joerogan for an amazing conversation. Let’s get tariff-free trade. Sign up to watch it first: conservative.ca/cpc/sign-here-…

Yes, exactly

Is there any legitimate business model here? Or is it just a complete scam?

Trump wont make it to 2028. The Iran war will culminate in one of these: 1. The absolute destruction of the $USD as the reserve currency and unipolar world along with decades of hostilities, 2. Nuclear war, and large scale destruction of the entire middle east, 3. The USA negotiating a peace treaty recognizing Irans sovereignty-constraining Israels expansion, paying reparations, and an international treaty respecting the straits of Hormuz like the Montreux treaty. 4. Trump building/coercing a coalition against Iran and starting WW3 with China & Russia actively supporting Iran. Regardless, the only off ramp for this war leads to Trump leaving office prematurely.

“I don’t want to know the politics of every acquaintance, every parent I meet at my son’s soccer games or every barista who chooses to emblazon herself with pins and flags to signal fealty to various social movements. I’m sick of it. I no more want to be made privy to the bowel habits of a given stranger than I want to be made privy to their political leanings. In fact, I daresay I’d prefer to hear someone pass gas than hear them discuss their refusal to travel to the United States in today’s political climate ad nauseam. The former is at least more likely to be novel, and funny.”

Asking for a refund on an Angel investment is low-t behaviour.

@KrishivThakuria Error message :) Love the idea, get it working so we can use it!

You can now find the most cracked Waterloo and Toronto talent all in one place We started with everyone who attended last weekend's curated Toronto Demo Night Reply below to be added next:

@ianwcrosby Much better!

One day soon, you’ll be able to turn a clever idea into a product over a weekend, then press a button and immediately turn that product into a fully operating business that makes money for you on its own. You’ll be able to instantly generate a fleet of agents that incorporate your business, open your bank account, create your website, sell and market the product, process payments, do your accounting, and file your taxes. At Synthetic we’re working 6 days a week to bring that day closer. Our first product is a completely autonomous AI agent for software companies, coupled with its own accounting system built from the ground up for agent use. We’re a team of startup veterans backed by Khosla ventures, and we’re looking for the next two product engineers to add to our team, in-person in San Francisco. If you want to work with an experienced team that’s serious about winning, consider joining us: synthetic.ai

@FoodProfessor It’s Tuesday

What a week—and it’s only Thursday. Crude hit $116 yesterday and is now down to $83.45. That’s still about 51% higher than on January 7, but a lot lower than where it was just hours ago. Let’s hope the rest of the week stays that way.

Well, I'd like to see ol Donny Trump wriggle his way out of THIS jam! *Trump wriggles his way out of the jam easily* Ah! Well. Nevertheless…

I was skeptical before but after this video I now finally feel comfortable giving Cluely access to all of our company's meeting transcriptions and notes

I spend a lot of time thinking about the path-function of consumer sentiment and consumption behavior over the next few years. First there’s a whoosh down as they internalize the risk to their jobs with the first set of rolling AI-driven layoffs. Then there’s the response timing and magnitude of government stimulus. Then there’s the wealth effect as Americans realize they and China own primary access to the most valuable technology in human history and the rest of the world will need to pay American and Chinese companies for access. Then there is the change in behavior as consumers start to believe that abundance isn’t just a catchphrase and is actually likely and therefore there isn’t a need to save for retirement. Then there is the implosion of the debt-based system as deflation starts to materialize across the economy. Then there is the explosion of new things to consume as AI starts inventing things. Then there is the air pocket as we can’t mine commodities or ramp robots fast enough to keep up with new things to produce. Then there is the change in behavior as we get closer to solving aging and people start recalibrating how they utilize their time. Shit is going to get so weird.

One of the understated elements of Blockbuster / video rentals is that it served as a commitment device to actually watch the movie When you spend $5 and take 45min to find a movie, you're going to watch the whole thing When you can click "nah" on Netflix and pick something else in seconds, you're much less likely to commit to watching the movie

@Sally_Sharif1 How important or practically useful is it for your students to be able to memorize this information when they finish your course and get out in the real world? Perhaps it’s the examination methodology that needs to adapt to changes in the world rather than the other way around?

I just gave a closed-book, pen-and-paper midterm exam in my 300-level course at UBC with 100 students. All exams were graded by an experienced graduate-level TA according to a rubric. *** The average was 64/100.*** My class averages at UBC are usually 80-85. Context: • This was the first midterm, covering ONLY 4 weeks of material. • Students had a list of possible questions in advance: no surprise questions. • Questions included (a) 3 concept definitions, (b) 3 paragraph-long questions, and (c) a 1.5-page essay. • I have taught this class multiple times. Nothing in my teaching style changed this semester. • We read entire paragraphs of text in class, so students don't have to do something on their own that wasn't covered during the lecture. • Students take a 10-question multiple-choice quiz at the end of every class (30% of the final grade). • Attendance is 95-99% every class. Attention during lectures and participation in pair-work activities are very high → anticipating the end-of-class quiz. *** But unfortunately, I suspect many students are not reading the material on the syllabus. They are asking LLMs to summarize it instead.*** After the midterm, students reported: • They thought they knew concept definitions but couldn't produce them on paper. • They thought they understood the arguments but struggled to connect them or identify points of agreement and disagreement. My view: It might be “cool” or “innovative” to teach students to summarize readings with ChatGPT or write essays with Claude. But we may be doing them a disservice: reducing their ability to retain material, think creatively, and reason from what they know. If you only read what AI has summarized for you, you don’t truly "know" the material. Moving forward: We have a second midterm coming up. I don't know how to convey to students that the best way to do better on the exam is to rely on and improve their own reading skills.

@sweatystartup software engineers are on higher demand than ever? on what planet? because definitely not in this. also have you seen the last job report? literally nothing supports your idea

Every time people say jobs are going to be replaced we get a hiring boom. Claud will replace software engineers? Why are they in higher demand than ever? The job apocalypse isn’t coming.
