OUT OF TOUCH MAYOR FAILS TO REALIZE CITY NEEDS NBA TEAM
Mayor Ken Sim@KenSimCity
Vancouver should become the next home of a Major League Baseball team. With the MLB publicly expressing interest in expansion in the near future, we see an opportunity to position our city as the next home for a franchise. This could be an opportunity to bring something truly special to Vancouver. An MLB team would be a significant step forward for our city and would create lasting memories for fans across generations.

I'm not a fan of ultimatums ("do this, don't do that), but try to listen to the message behind the noise - there's a lot of benefit to being young, you get to drink boba without needing to count calories, run a 10k with no training, don't let x tell you that you gotta "make it" now!

Don't start a startup in high school. What if it works? You'll lose the opportunity you'd otherwise have to explore random, interesting ideas, driven only by curiosity. Because while you will indeed learn a lot from a startup, you won't have any choice about what you learn.

This release makes me unreasonably happy since I wasn't involved at all - @vincent_koc and the maintainer team did a great job. I'm back soon to work on OpenClaw, today/tomorrow I'm prepping for @TEDTalks in Vancouver. 🇨🇦

In conclusion, Myles Turner leaves the Pacers for a “championship organization” after his old team almost wins The Finals. Throws all the shade.
- Bucks miss playoffs
- Doc gets fired
- Fewest Minutes since rookie
- Lowest FG%/REB of career
- 2nd lowest BLK/PPG of career

@realsigridjin @AnthropicAI idk man, sonnet just asked me what google antigravity was
English
sonnet 4.6 >> opus 4.6
what happened to @AnthropicAI best public model
Muratcan Koylan@koylanai
@realsigridjin I just tried Sonnet 4.6 today; it feels a lot better than Opus 4.6. Idk what they did to their best public model but it is just unusable rn

We gave builders one brief: make Canada more self-reliant.
That was it.
Turns out that's enough.
Teams pulled from Stats Canada datasets, dug into the government procurement portal, and built things that felt real, not just demo-ready, but actually usable.
Highlights: an AI that finds Canadian alternatives to your Amazon purchases, a Vision Pro app mapping Canadian import markets, and a procurement tool for small businesses trying to win government contracts.
Good room. Good energy. Good problems to solve.
Next up: Codex + Cursor + OpenClaw events in April and May → vancouverai.beehiiv.com

toki@tokifyi
it’s a mindset you can just host things if you’ve never hosted anything before, remember this: even 2 people is a meetup
