The Stochastic Game

La BD de Boulet sur les IA (de)generatives est excellent… j’espere qu’il fera une version en Anglais bientot pour partager ca plus largement.

Those last minute trade changes from the US were pretty crazy. Limits on how we trade with other countries, auto/steel tariffs lowered only partially, removal of Canadian content and French language rules on streaming platforms, etc. Basically the first step to annexation. Fuck the US.

Looks like a majority of Canadians agree with Carney walking out of the US trade talks, which is good. Of course the CPC are a bunch of wankers (43% disagree). Weird to see SK disagree more than AB (19% vs 16%). Also most people think we’re not coming back.

This widely shared Australian take on the recent breakdown in Canada/US trade talks is indeed very entertaining, but it’s wrong on one thing: Trump won’t lose the midterms. He’ll cheat or deploy troops to win. But maybe dealing with a full-blown nazi dictator will make our politics easier.

Filling in on drums for another band’s private gig… had to learn like 30 songs in a week 😅 No pressure!

CBC’s live update page on the US tariff situation mentions that Carney says he will do “whatever it takes” to support business. I wonder if that includes a wealth tax 😅

Carney finally acknowledged how unreliable the US has become and walked away from trade talks. I’m sure he fully expected it would end like this, and was just doing his due diligence before while buying time to setup trade with other countries. That’s the part he’s supposedly good at.

Haha so some people are leaving Bluesky and returning to Twitter because they can’t take the AI-shaming? Wait until they hear about the nazi-shaming!

“Ordinary Abundance: Edward Bellamy once imagined that music on demand would be “the limit of human felicity.” A modern apartment is full of things that once drew the same kind of awe.”

A very nicely done website.

This “Golden Axe” animated series trailer came totally out of nowhere, but it definitely brought back fond memories of playing that game over and over as a kid! Love those purple mutant thingies.
