Someone's $50,000+ car malfunctioning and killing them isn't natural selection. That's not what that term means.

If we lived in any sort of reasonable or responsible world then these cars would be banned from public roads all over the globe.

Say it with me now:

LLMs are not artificial intelligence.

Seeing as you don't live here in BC and apparently didn't read the article, I don't think you understand just how bad this heat dome event was.

BC is on Canada's pacific coast and its largest urban centre is within a coastal temperate rainforest. Our usual summer temperatures range from 25-32c ish, sometimes a bit higher. During the heat dome of 2021, it was 40-45c+ within the city. The town of Lytton, northeast of Vancouver, blew past temperature records with a recorded temp of 50c. For a brief period of time, a little town in Canada had one of the highest temperatures on Earth before it was essentially destroyed by forest fires that consumed much of the province and blanketed everyone else with smoke.

Over 600 people died during this heat event with more being attributed to it each year as investigations conclude.

Looking forward to the headlines: "Tesla Robotaxi passengers need medical attention after Robotaxi hits speed bump at 70mph"

Tesla's self-driving is pretty shite but they seem to have a particular problem with railway crossings, as also pointed out in the article. Of all of the obstacles for the self-driving system to fail to detect, the several thousand tons of moving steel is probably one of the worst outcomes.

To secure "relief" ie: To return to the previous trade agreement that Trump himself signed off on.

To desire nothing but a return what-once-was is incredibly shortsighted. This isn't about getting relief from tariffs is that those tariffs should never have happened in the first place. The US violated our trade agreement and, to this day, still changes its mind on what it wants almost daily. They have also made continuous threats towards our sovereignty with threats of invasion and war as well as flagrant disrespect towards our elected leader(s) and citizens.

The Canada-US relationship is over. It's done. Trying to make more deals with them is a foolish waste of time at best and a threat to our national security at worst.

Cyclist here.

We love being able to get around without the risk of being murdered or permanently disfigured by people driving cars. We will intentionally go out of our way to ride on protected routes even if it means extending our travel times.

Drivers disagree. They demand that we ride in traffic where we will slow them down, make them angry, and make them want to murder us.

And yet we are surrounded by the bones of companies and projects that were killed by private equity.

This is the end of Nexus Mods. It might not be today, it might not be tomorrow, but the cord will be cut the moment it's not suitable for the new overlords.

Pick one. You can't have both.

Birb! Well done.

 

Made in Blender, Substance Painter, and Affinity Photo! My take on some Supreme Commander fanart. I got the scale off because I couldn't find any actual measurements, but I think it looks better at this size anyway.

 

First time I have ever modelled a gun before! Made in Blender and Substance Painter.

 

Something I put together in Blender and Substance Painter. Editing done in Affinity.

 

A little something I put together in Blender and Affinity Photo :D

I hate how long volumes take to render but they look so pretty...
