AMD's position on machine learning has been fascinating to watch. While the company has gone through some cash strapped years, investing even some marginal effort into the ML space would have paid off handsomely in data center sales. I

I don't think it's a trend or that people are trying to be cool or something. JWT is like a simpleton version of Kerberos/ActiveDirectory tickets. Having authentication and/or authorization independent of operational sys

They are saying that a "modern lifestyle" may lead to obesity and type 2 diabetes. They are not saying that meal skipping leads to that, but rather it's a reaction to it.

Not a single charter right has been overridden. Every act undertaken under the EA is on the official record (available to the opposition parties). Parliament can revoke or partially revoke any component of the EA at any juncture. Then it ha

While the linked article and the twitter thread it links are both quite good, your core point is absolutely correct. As stated elsewhere, this is a minority government. If there is a single actual case of someone donating some small amoun

I am just in awe at this. Astonishing. After a three week long insurrection based on profound ignorance, and thousands of instances of criminality, you think the government -- just as it was about to have the resources available to put it

"you just missed my point" No, I didn't. You pointed out the number of votes between two parties to demonstrate mandate. Only the actual numbers betray a completely different situation. You don't get to casually claim th

The video was made February 15th, weeks into the blockade, and long after it was painfully clear that the public was turning dramatically against the convoy. At this point the Premier of Ontario and the federal government were openly discus

"but it's not representative of the electorate" The two parties supporting this measure got 8,862,977 votes. Every other party together got 8,287,006. And the best part still is that the Conservatives and BQ get to vote aga

Support of the majority? 93% of Canadians wanted to see the protests cleared. 2/3rds wanted participants jailed . A majority of Canadians agree with a lifting of mandates, but this was true before this protest, and if anything the pro

It's called a lie by a conservative MP who is pandering to a very gullible base. I am deeply concerned for the rational judgment of anyone who actually believed that bit of nonsense. Every level of government has asked the MP to give
