If you work from home you will absolutely need an office when you have kids.

At the same time I can get store brand ice cream for €1.50 per box of 6 that has two or three ingredients and tastes delicious. That’s in Portugal.

This has been going on for a decade.

Inbefore extreme NIMBY

There’s a very clear anti-building conspiracy in Canada. I can only think that someone must be limiting supply to keep prices high to protect profits.

Because my friend had the craziest protectionism story.

He wanted to build a multi family home on his existing lot.

Of course all kinds of studies need to be done. One of them is a tree study. Which costs $3,000 alone per tree. He hired firm and they were doing a study (for building purposes).

Then one day a crew shows up and cuts the tree all of a sudden. Turns out that his neighbour, unknown to him, was complaining that the tree was creating too much shade. So without any study they just came and cut it down.

That’s before even his study results came back.

Agreed. Look at the light rail project in Ottawa for an example of Canadian land issues, timelines and quality. It’s a disaster.

Countries can’t be best friends. Each country will always act in self interest.

Maybe from all those stolen API keys?

Yeah, exactly that. Most friends I have in Canada only started to have families once they were able to secure appropriate-sized dwelling. Which didn’t happen until late 30s. And current generations possibly cannot afford it at all in many jurisdictions. And stories I read from back in the day were “a factory worker and a teacher bought and paid off a house in downtown Ottawa in 3 years” are just insane. If I had that kind of purchasing power today I’d have more kids for sure.

Please share your opinions. Thank you.

For me (op) it is the flex. My question was why Canada cannot do this.

Volvo, used to have Saab. Scania trucks.

Well, couldn’t you say the same thing about Sweden? Germany is right there. They could have bought Volvo, but they didn’t. Scania was independent for a long time and had actively protected from take overs, but eventually still succumbed to VW.

Also, Canada lost many things w/o US acquisitions. What happened to Corel? Nortel? Research in Motion?

Now the interesting question to me is why is that a country with a tenth of population can have car, truck and military plane manufacturing yet Canada can’t, even with virtually all resources for inputs, including energy can’t.

It’s good for the given price point. You can a six pack of Amazon basic for a low price. They are good. For sleeping.

I’m helpful assistant

Wdym? I drove many EU electric cars. I think e-C3 and e-C4 are some of the funest cars to drive.

Definitely experienced this as my macOS ran out of ram multiple times freezing all apps meanwhile Firefox was using something like 20 gigs at the time of freeze

Both examples open for me

Have to be careful with routines. There’s a very small disclaimer that’s barely noticeable that in routine mode all MCP tools, even write are always allowed. So agent can technically go rogue and start mutating your resources via MCP.

Would love to see more of the Docker step.

Anecdotal evidence. But since I started doing sauna regularly (once a week) I started to get sick less. I’m talking colds or flues. And the ones I did catch were much milder. Even with sick family members around I’m not catching it as often.

Fastmail is Australian

Yes, very useful. Can’t imagine managing a large interconnected prompt collection without it.

I try to leave as many crumbs as I can in the PR description which becomes the commit message. I link issues, slack threads, articles, docs. Of course also explain the reasoning.

I use Promptfoo

Orb is definitely the winner. It’s fast. It does the job well. Never had an issue with it in two years.

Yeah no chance. Quite the opposite. This framework makes the process more robust. AI is just an accelerator of what is. I work at a company without mature SDLC process and it’s chaotic and leads to sub standard outcomes. We are actually looking to adopt this SDLC process soon because of it.

My mental model on LLMs and agents is that they are force multipliers.

Haha I did something similar to my teebage neighbour and his Bluetooth boombox that he’d blast at midnight when his parents were away. I’d connect to his device and disconnect immediately. He also learned to turn it down after that. That was our communication channel. Every time it was too loud I’d connect and disconnect. Immediately after he’d reduce the volume to something reasonable.

How about CloudFormation? CloudTrail? IAM? SSO?

If you want to make real money, you’ll need an endless amount of EE features, without which no E will commit.

You can’t survive on a few consumer features.
