At current NS Power rates, on paper it costs $0.06 to charge my ebike from empty (I probably use ~20% of a charge on a heavy commuting day, so let's say $0.01 per day)
Or, 1-2 Timmies runs per year in transportation costs, if you're measuring in Canadian.

Canada is woefully unprepared for a 25 percent across the board Trump tariff that is coming, if not today, then soon.
We need to prepare, and fast.
Here’s how:

You’d think people don’t want to live in pods. But when you suggest policies which would provide meaningful alternatives to the pods, they become very agitated. Even angry.

If this was true Doug Ford would also be underwater. I don't think voters are really there yet on housing

Trudeau let the problem of housing shortages drag on for so long without doing anything that it looks like his party will get wiped out in the next election. Parties will destroy themselves rather than allow more housing.

I figured out why LLMs are so good at medicine.
It's all just pattern recognition. When people say "AI is just a pattern recognizer" I'm just thinking "What do you think diagnosing diseases is?"
It's recognizing a cluster of symptoms and labs - a pattern if you will. No wonder ChatGPT soared past doctors before almost any other prestigious job.
Now compare that to other non-critical characteristics, like "bedside manner" and "availability." ChatGPT (and Claude) have crossed the four criteria for economic replacement.
BETTER - ChatGPT alone provided better diagnosis
FASTER - ChatGPT is available 24/7 (human doctors are not)
CHEAPER - ChatGPT costs $20 per month
SAFER - ChatGPT has a 90% accuracy, human doctors only 73%
How much money do you think will be wasted by slowing down this transition? How many lives do you think will be lost by needless human mistakes? How much unnecessary suffering do you think will occur by not promoting this quickly?

This has gotta be the first time an outgoing administration won 9-0 at SCOTUS to defend its policy and said “oh no.”

Trump, ideologically, is a lot closer to Peron, Milei’s opposite in Argentine politics than he is to Milei. The Milei-Trump comparison makes sense only if you think about politics purely in terms of anti-establishment vibes and no one would be that simplistic……oh wait.
MARCO RUBIO ON PRESIDENT MILEI
"This is a serious, well trained economist. If you sit down and talk to him for a few minutes, he has real clear ideas about economic development, and he's doing some really necessary things in terms of restructuring the direction of Argentine economics in a very positive way".
