Finally Europe will be safe
Today we arrested a group of teens in Birmingham for their illegal use of Youtube. Under the new social media ban under-16s are not permitted to access any platform without parental supervision. They were watching cooking tutorials. Sharing one phone between four of them. Absolute madness. One of them tried to argue it was educational content. Educational. As if that's a defence. The law doesn't care what you're learning. All four are being processed. Parents notified. Devices confiscated and they will be trialled as adults. Britain is safer for it.

Uhhh… your memory is failing, my friend. And this was sent after the dinner, not before. Have the receipts. I don’t begrudge you in any way, but let’s be truthful.
Not only did we not fire them, we did not give them an offer to invest based on our assessment of the team (clearly retrospectively wrong and our loss). Was honest in my assessment of why we did not offer to invest, just trying to be helpful. Never discussed equity. So firing/equity is totally a fictional story. Anything goes on twitter I guess
Community note
A term sheet from Khosla Ventures offering $50M to lead Cloudflare's Series C round contradicts claims that no investment offer was given or equity discussed. x.com/eastdakota/sta…

We’re more than doubling penalties on ticket scalpers to $25,000 to put them on notice: If you break the law and rip people off, there will be consequences. news.ontario.ca/en/release/1…

I have just filed a complaint with the Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery and Procurement against the City of Toronto for its apparent violation of section 2(3) of the Ticket Sales Act, after it admitted buying 3,500 World Cup tickets and scalping them for a profit
So Toronto Council and our hypocrite socialist Mayor just spent millions buying World Cup tickets to scalp at a profit (making the event even more unaffordable) while potentially violating provincial law which bans resale of sports tickets above face value globalnews.ca/news/11891194/…

This is the wildest World Cup story yet. If someone in Toronto sells a ticket above face value they get fined $25,000 yet the city of Toronto bought 3,500 World Cup tickets early and then sold them to taxpayers at a markup as a “revenue generation strategy.” What the hell man.
NEW: The City of Toronto says only a fraction of the 2026 FIFA World Cup tickets it bought as an investment remain unsold, with the soccer gamble looking set to pay off a week before the games begin. #ToPoli globalnews.ca/news/11891194/…

A software engineer was granted a religious exemption from using AI at work. Legal experts say others may follow now that the Pope has raised concerns about the tech's impact on humanity. bit.ly/4dZNXiF

Fun fact: Canada's new AI Strategy includes the word 'indigenous' over 6 times more than 'GPU'

I stopped explaining that datacenters use water in a closed loop. I just nod, purse my lips and say "yeah its really bad". What's the point

Today, we remember a legend. On this day in history, Harambe would have celebrated another birthday. An icon that became part of internet history, American culture, and an entire generation’s timeline. Tomorrow marks 10 years since we lost him. Ten years since the moment the world stopped scrolling and collectively mourned something bigger than a meme. He became a symbol of loyalty, strength, chaos, unity, and the strange beauty of the internet bringing millions of people together for one cause: never forgetting Harambe. Everyone remembers where they were when they heard the news. And somehow, a decade later, his legacy still lives on. Gone, but never forgotten. Rest easy to a true patriot. 🕊️🇺🇸 May 27, 1999 — May 28, 2016 Forever in our hearts.

Canada issued US$3.5 billion in USD denominated debt, issued at a spread of 2 basis points (0.02%) from US Treasuries. The world wanted US$13.5 billion. The world really wants our debt.
This week, the Government of Canada issued a five-year US $3.5 billion global bond. Learn more: ow.ly/bgio50Z2WWL

Today’s agreement between Airbus and AirAsia is the largest single order of commercial aircraft in Canada’s history. 150 Airbus A220-300 aircraft will be built by Canadian workers on Canadian factory floors — supporting thousands of careers across Canada and here in Mirabel, from the skilled trades to engineering.

Goblin and related magical mentions were overrewarded in training, and the behavior was reinforced over successive models. We removed the goblin-affine reward signal for future models, and filtered training data where creatures appeared in irrelevant contexts.
