@wallylayman@ray_vautier Why are we even talking about the MOU when it is now out of date after the several months of negotiation that happened after the MOU was released? Seems like we should be discussing the current form of the agreement instead.
@mynlcorner I use AI a fair amount in my work and it's definitely a concern that it could eventually affect my job. The thing that comforts me a bit is seeing how often it screws up. It does a lot well, but it gets a lot wrong.
@LukeEpplin@DSRacer I've met a couple of authors who've explicitly asked people to let them know about typos as they'd like to correct them in future editions. I know some textbooks have a website or email address where they ask you to submit typos.
@ricedelman@CNBC Why would adoption be expected to grow substantially at this point? It seems like there are a lot of alternatives that are much easier to use. What's the angle for selling this as a must use currency to new users?
@VOCMOpenline I think the caller was talking about a new hospital in addition to St. Clare's rather than as a replacement. Isn't the $10 billion to build and run for 30 years? I was hearing about a similar hospital elsewhere and it was only $2 to 4 billion, not $10.
@spjohnson2025 @sfmcguire79 Do you mean the illusion of merit? Wealthy kids have private tutors training them for the tests and helping many get extra time due to "learning disabilities". Poorer kids often have to prep on their own with little supplemental help compared to wealthy kids..
@VOCMOpenline also, on the equalization payments, don't other provinces get the same breaks on hydroelectric power as Quebec? So if we went forward on the MOU or got better rates after 2041, we'd be treated the same if we started makingvastly more on our power?
@VOCMOpenline the claim that Americans are paying less than we are for electricity seems to be false based on this. https://t.co/e88UDCm5cs
Cheapest state is Louisiana at 12.93 cents/kWh which is 17.83 cents/kWh Canadian. We're paying 15.21/kWh.
The huge swing in electrical costs is clearly weather related. I turn the heat on because it's cold out. Baseboard heaters use a lot of electricity. Just using the heat occasionally causes my bill to double in the fall. People need to compare power usage across years not months.
@VOCMOpenline I'm listening to your chat with Dennis Brown from Thursday. I don't understand his claim that a $300 swing in my power bill can't just be the weather. My bill swings between $100 or less in summer when I don't use heat to over $400 in winter when I'm using heat.
