I’m queerly the 'Leigh you searched for! 😉 I do tech things, enjoy pinball, try to draw, make a little music now and then, occasionally jump in the ocean and breathe underwater, and marvel at how I’ve lasted this long in this world. Trying to do my part to make it better.

Linus Torvalds, creator and headmaster of Linux, has taken a pro-AI stance, supported not only by the speed of additional contributions, but also the fact that bots often don’t make mistakes that even seasoned developers do.
He’s “right”. LLM bots indeed don’t often make the mistakes that seasoned developers do… they make far more basic mistakes than those, often in far greater numbers.
Coach driver doesn’t show up to court, so prosecuters just drop the charges because arresting someone for blowing off a court date is disproportionate and not in the public interest. Got it. 🙄
Ooh, neat! I’m local but didn’t know about this and had never even heard of rainways before. It’s only 4 blocks long, but it improves the north-south connection between two much longer east-west designated bike routes: Off-Broadway (6th Ave) and 10th Ave. https://vancouver.ca/streets-transportation/st-george-rainway.aspx
He’s been charged with impaired driving, among other things. (Article may have been updated with that detail after you posted?)
How about we merge the two and say Scram Altman? 🙂
So are words. 🤷♀️ Em dashes are only well-represented in LLM output because they’re well-represented in the training data. There’s no simple litmus test, the scummy LLM companies would just tweak their models if there was one.
Lost the popular vote though
I wish that were true, but the current count has BC Cons ahead by nearly 200,000 votes. 😢
It’s devastating. And as bad as it is for my own trans family, Indigenous folks are in for even worse, nevermind the intersection of the two. 😭 I’ve been SO ANGRY at Eby and was braced for a Conservative majority, but not one this large. I don’t know what to do from here. I was already just barely holding myself together.
The update comes on the heels of NDP Leader David Eby saying Doerkson is “going into hiding” during the final days of the campaign—holding pricey private fundraisers instead of opening himself up to questions from the media.
“Never interrupt your opponent when he’s making a mistake”, as the advice goes, and David Eby has done nothing but make mistakes. As a trans person, I’m so furious at him for calling this cynical power-grab election which even at the outset carried a significant chance of the NDP losing.
I desperately hope for an NDP minority government propped up by several Green MLAs and for David Eby to lose his own seat. But it doesn’t look likely. Le sigh.
