The Gov't of Canada uses google maps and apparently don't have the country setting that dictates which version of Lake Ontario/America users see - so Canadians using their site get the US (Lake America). https://ww

Carney is one of the most popular "Liberal" PMs west of Ontario in decades. His popularity in Alberta is higher than Daniel Smith. This can only be good for Canada as a whole IMHO.

I've been involved for several years. If you don't yet have one in your area, are handy at fixing things and have the inclination - contact them for info on starting one up.

> symbols need to be lit 100% this. One of my absolute favorite keyboard designs: G915 TKL Lightspeed got relegated to the donation pile because the symbols were NOT backlit. Such a dumb design choice to save a few cents IMHO.

Because it's backlit I'm guessing changing the eclectic number row design isn't an option that can be easily changed (for this version anyway).

The razr forum on reddit has some examples. It doesn't seem extremely common, but the reports are for phones that are relatively new - not even two years of use.

Here's hoping Pixel releases a flip phone 11 and Graphene support follows. The Motorola razr has crease issues that they seem to want to ignore and Samsung has locked down their phones so root is impractical.

I gave up on Grok. It constantly ignores explicit instructions (e.g. do NOT remove existing comments) and it's not nearly as intuitive in knowing the right questions to ask as gpt, claude or gemini in my experience from using all of th

The reason I'm getting LLM burnout is from dealing with the obvious neutering and opaque downgrading of all the top models. Prior to the last 12mos AI companies were hell bent on squeezing out the best results from mediocre models. But

Considering the (apparent) heaps of money and brains thrown at GROK I'd argue MISTRAL is relatively futher ahead. Every time I go back to trying GROK it is an abysmal disappointment.

FreeBSD uses ZFS. I've been using ZFS for about a decade on several systems and can't say enough good things about it: rock solid, feature rich and easy to use are the top benefits. It really needs more love!

This may be a more accurate analogy... "The Porsche you rented at $200/mo now only allows you a maximum of 100km of travel. You will be automatically charged extra when you go over that."

@theredsix and you should collaborate. Your tool's method of returning element references is clever and should greatly improve llm handling of the page components (and greatly reduce token cost).
