Oy. Québec's past mayor insists that Mamdani's victory is bad, because... it might make party members expect something as ambitious on a national scale, and lead to a loss!?

Rafael Jacob y va à fond dans le both sides: «ces deux clans-là [Trump et Mamdani] sont essentiellement à plusieurs égards, les deux côtés de la même pièce»

Government is shut down. Chaos in airports. 42 million going hungry. 24 million face skyrocketing healthcare costs. Economy in turmoil. And the president of the United States is in the Fox broadcast booth calling plays for a football game.

Funny, I'm writing a business plan for "AI" that's actually ML, but hey, "AI" gets investors' attention.
AI is used for LLM, even though they aren't "intelligent".
Everyone is confused now; we're using overlapping signifiers with overlapping meanings.
The important Q is: does it actually work?

Holy shit. This company claims it has developed an air-source heat pump with a COP of *7* (3-5 is considered good). For you non-nerds, that basically means it produces 7 units of heat for every unit of electricity it consumes. How are they doing it? You're not gonna like this answer, but: it's AI.

Imagine, if you will, this headline with the word “Jews” substituted for the word “women”:

Well, it’s just as disgusting that this is an acceptable question to debate about women.
The misogyny is staggering — and so normal.

I’ve been studying and practicing economic modeling for climate solutions for more than 3 decades and Genevieve is 100% right on this.
Today feels like a good day to remind everyone that there is literally no empirical evidence that economic growth will just continue if the world heats up to, say, 3°C by 2100.
Continued growth is just *assumed* in every economic model of the relationship between temperatures and growth.

No wonder Conservatives hate universities: only people with no understanding of history, feminist theories or critical analysis can take these shallow, reactionnary rationalisations seriously.
Like anti-vaxxers, utterly oblivious to how bad things used to be.

Glad to see that the US 🇺🇸 is increasing its climate ambition just ahead of #COP30…
The Trump administration said it would reduce air traffic in 40 of the busiest markets in the U.S. if the shutdown continues. The cuts would take effect on Friday, potentially forcing hundreds of thousands of travelers to suddenly change plans. nyti.ms/47V3ZqN

Covid numbers are down sharply in Québec, and I'm wondering if some of that is due to our transit strikes.
Metros have good ventilation when they run, but the STM bragged about having 4 air changes per hour in their new buses.
Cracking windows open gets 10X more air, impossible on new buses.
