Sunday morning rendering experiments. @rocket2guns is really cooking with BRUTAL Framework. Can’t wait to go deeper!

building software is practically free now and we still haven’t found a single use case for blockchains.

Hey @BonnieCrombie how'd this work out for you? Now you want to be the mayor again?
As I work to cross the finish line in my bid to become Ontario Liberal Party leader, I’ll take an unpaid leave of absence effective Oct 7. Mississaugans are in good hands with our Council and Acting Mayor. In the meantime, I’ll work to review & address key priorities.

The Arctic is becoming one of the most strategically important regions on Earth. Yet much of the North still depends on fuel that must be shipped thousands of kilometres through some of the world's most challenging logistics corridors. That is an energy problem. It is also a sovereignty problem. Today, we're introducing POLAR-1, our transportable microreactor platform designed to provide reliable power for Arctic operations, defence installations, remote communities, and critical infrastructure. If Canada wants to project capability in the North, we need energy systems that can operate where conventional infrastructure cannot. That is what we're building. Proud of our team taking another step toward making strategically deployable nuclear power a Canadian capability. #ArcticSovereignty #EnergySecurity #Defence #NationalSecurity #AdvancedNuclear #Microreactor #CanadianInnovation #Arctic #DefenceTech

All frontier AI models experiencing simultaneous outages today. Lovely.

I really don't know what happened with Opus 5 - it's a very capable model, but it spews undefined technical jargon and loves to fall into recursive testing loops. It makes me wonder how much longer Anthropic will be the gold standard for software development.

Stop using loops. Use swoops instead. Trust me.

PM Carney's remarks on the controversial BC condo purchase program. He acknowledges the government has done a poor job of explaining what this is. New details: The program has a maximum budget of $1.45B, with 10% from the federal government and 90% from the province.

The future of software development will not be defined only by who writes code fastest.

Try to get Claude to generate HLSL shaders for MonoGame and let me know how that works out for you….

60CM of snow in Scarborough! That's a new record since they started keeping records in 1938. I can't say I've ever had waist-deep snow in my lifetime of living in Ontario. Wowza!

It’s just the psychosis from second hand cannabis smoke, Alex.
Hey X pilots: help me out. I am on a 787-9 in seat 1K, flying Istanbul to JFK. Weather was heavy low clouds and rainy. Takeoff was normal but two minutes in there was a LOUD bang and a bright pink cloud of sparks (apparently) just outside my window. The plane shuddered but kept climbing. We leveled off and circled for about 15-20 minutes at 13000 feet. Total silence from crew. Then the pilots announced the plane was fine and we had been cleared to continue onward. Everything’s been normal since then, we are now over the Atlantic. What happened?
