I saw my first Mercedes Econic garbage truck in Newcastle the other day and was so excited! This is the kind of vehicle we should be demanding in Canada to stop the killing of pedestrians and cyclists. Canada has hewed to the USA safety standards, but now is the time to go our own way.

Canada should make side guards on trucks mandatory; the usual excuse no longer works

Now that we are plotting an independent course from the USA, it’s time to develop our own safety strategies and standards.

I am once again asking why these data centers are all fucking SECRETS

"A controversial plan to build a 2.2-million-square-foot data center on farmland may still happen. A rural community... is looking to settle a lawsuit recently filed by a development firm working for an unidentified tech giant."

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that all these data centers are going into communities that have been historically targeted for exploitation and have the least amount of civic power wielded by the people living there.

Waymo's success is remarkable proof of the power of AI. It's also remarkable proof of its limitations. Waymo's need for limited domains and powerful perception hardware, and the failure of Tesla's "AI-first" approach without them, holds powerful lessons about the limits of probabilistic inference.

Great Depression (nightcore remix) @bluespacecanary.bsky.social · 15h

It's fascinating to me that there's a whole "AI skeptic" misinformation ecosystem out there that somehow continues to deny that Waymo exists. Like, this is easy to fact check! Waymo runs publicly-available service in 5 cities, you can just go look up how it works and see it's not planned routes!

A bluesky post with the user's handle cropped out: "In 2015, I was told, confidently, that AI would end human drivers in the trucking industry w/in 5 years.

[Begin my highlight]10 years later, and there’s what-some experimental cabs rolling around a few cities in heavily-engineered preset routes?[end my highlight]

Not to mention the fact that the AI industry itself is Enron on heroin."

Not sure people realize how INSANELY DRAINING data centers will be on our planet.

If you imagine data centers as their own country, they'll rank fourth in global electricity use by 2035 — outranked only by China, India, and the U.S.

Read this in @bloomberg.com👇

AI Data Centers Are Sending Power Bills Soaring

Wholesale electricity costs as much as 267% more than it did five years ago in areas near data centers. That’s being passed on to customers.

• Emotional distress: Dogs can experience emotions like sadness, fear, and longing due to negative life experiences, such as being abandoned, neglected, or losing a family member or another pet. ②
• Fear: A dog might appear sad when it is in fear, which can cause its eyes to widen, showing the whites of its eyes.

.
Depression: Signs of depression in dogs can include sad, droopy eyes and decreased interest in activities.
Physical discomfort: While less common to be described as "sadness," a dog could also appear sad due to being in pain or having a health issue that makes it lethargic.
Interpreting "Sadness" in a Dog's Eyes
