Just over a week ago, Premier Tim Houston told reporters in Halifax that he would not be in the legislature on March 18 when it reopened after March break because he would be in Hamburg, Germany, to attend a hydrogen conference.
Houston said "They" would both be accompanying Wilkinson to Hamburg, noting that hydrogen development could โchange our entire economy in this province.โ
Very brief conclusion after 18 months of active #Mastodon usage:
I have about a third of the followers I had on the #birdsite (after > 10 yrs). To be frank, I toot less than I used to tweet, which means Iโm probably less interesting to follow
I follow about the same number of accounts but my timeline has many more toots. I think thatโs because I select who to follow here much more based on content. At the #bs it was more driven by โWho do I knowโ.

How is this very post licensed and how would you know? Do #Mastodon instances dictate a #license on users posts? Is there a way for me, the #author, to assign one and pass the information through the #fediverse? Do I give away my #copyright in the moment, I press on "Publish!" below? (Or press C-c C-c in #Emacs#mastodonEl?) Can I limit #distribution e.g. to notforprofit entities? (Not that I wanted to. At least not now.)
Cyber..uck?!
It seems that it's not only the "unbreakable" windows that were a lie ๐, the whole thing is all hat and no cattle, a toy that ... looks tough ๐คฃ
Read about and watch the misery of driving a #Tesla#Cybertrack off road. In a nutshell:
"you don't need to spend $80+ thousand to go out on the trails and have some fun", that is, if you find it fun to fail and have your car fall apart. ๐
At the airport lounge, waiting for my delayed flight to figure itself out, and there's two portuguese business dudes chatting away nearby. And one of them just said:
"I looked at his psychometric evaluations and immediately said 'this guy is never going to be a professional' "
And, folks, I tell ya, this is SENDING ME! In this year of 2023, psychometric evaluations! 1996 called, guys, they want their psychobabble back, jfc.
With a tenth of the population and workforce, they think they are owed half the countryโs CPP. This should be a last straw insult. Canada should have its own referendum on kicking Alberta out, land-lock them, stop subsidies and payments, impose its own charges for anything flowing out, sue for all damages from excessive emissions and say good riddance.
Do you also receive questions under your #LinkedIn posts which sound like, as if a #recruiter is trying to collect a "reference" answer from you, an expert in your field? They seem to read the post, but their questions still sound like #BS. A strange kind of #outsourcing ๐
#spaceKaren's way of doing stuff, through the eyes of an environmental engineer:
"[...] Why hasnโt Musk just ordered his employees to dig up the surrounding wetlands and build a theme park (or a flame diverter)? I suspect itโs because no contractor in the State of Texas is gonna dig somewhere when they all know theyโll get tossed in prison for doing so without an Army Corps permit."
My comment:
That is why #hyped#BS like "occupy Mars" will never happen.
โFor Services provided on Mars, or in transit to Mars via Starship or other spacecraft, the parties recognize Mars as a free planet and that no Earth-based government has authority or sovereignty over Martian activities,โ says SpaceXโs satellite Internet Starlink company, in its terms of service."
The statement is a lie; it's governed by an appropriate nation, in accordance with the 1967 Outer Space Treaty, but #SpaceKaren wants no laws.
Can't say "dumb as a brick" any more. Sam Altman (of #OpenGPT fame) thinks "intelligence is a fundamental property of matter" ๐ฎ . So if bricks are intelligent, why can't LLMs be intelligent too?
#Altman, a Stanford CS dropout, says that a future system will "cure all disease, help address climate change, radically improve education, make us 10-100 times more productive". And all that without any doubt.
To date, not a single document revealed has shown what people now falsely believe: that the US government and Twitter were working together to โcensorโ people based on their political viewpoints.
Why is that a viewpoint? #disinformation #TFG #matttaibbi #twitter #bunk#bs#crap#poo #elmo
While #AI hype is skyrocketing, hard data and metrics about what it means to have/be an artificial "intelligence", "equal or better than humans", "far more capable" etc. appear to remain vague, arbitrary, or out of reach for most of us, who are already consuming hot air, deep fakes, and corporate #BS named "AI".
Why is that? Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, but none seems to be provided. Chat bots and image blending apps is about all we get, but those aren't evidence.
Lawyers in a federal court, file arguments citing fake legal cases based on ChatGPT results... and get caught by the judge ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐คฃ . You can't make this up!
Since I mentioned the re-release of Duck Rock I've been listening to it repeatedly. Maclaren was a complete bulls***er & the work was largely done by others. It struck me though that a vision like that, a grand idea concept with the budget to boot is now largely in the hands of the modern classical arena with people like Max Richter & not with pop music which seems largely obsessed with ego rather than taken up with any grand idea (happy to hear exceptions) #Music#ideas#BS#pop#culture
