If Canada digs up, sells and ships 20 billion tons of oil it is responsible for removing 90 billion tons of CO2 from the air.
If Canada builds Solar and Wind Canada will avoid that Debt.
Canada's new allies, replacing a dependence on untrustable United States, are all building vast gigawatts of new energy because of the climate fires, climate storms, climate wildfires, because Exxon Heat cooking 20,000 in Europe.

Say it in words, out loud: “hidden debt“ of $1.65 trillion, with a ‘t‘.

Wow. The #trump administration just dropped their budget wishlist to #Congress. Trump wants to add nearly $7 trillion to the $39 trillion national debt with his new military budget.
The White House detailed a military funding hike of more than 40 percent to an eye watering 1.5 Trillion dollars.
White House is also seeking a 10 percent cut to nondefense spending, with a proposed reduction of $73 billion from federal programs like Medicare, food stamps, day care subsidies, and to zero out funding for minority-owned businesses.
All war, all white, fuck everyone else, apparently. At least the republicans are being honest about what they’ve always been. Capitalist childraping racists who worship at the alter of Mammon.

“#AI companies are looking to spend #trillions of #dollars on data centers to power their increasingly resource-intensive AI models—an astronomical amount of money that could threaten the entire economy if the bet doesn’t pay off.”

LLMs contain a LOT of parameters. But what’s a parameter? – MIT Technology Review
LLMs contain a LOT of parameters. But what’s a parameter?
They’re the mysterious numbers that make your favorite AI models tick. What are they and what do they do?

MIT Technology Review Explains: Let our writers untangle the complex, messy world of technology to help you understand what’s coming next. You can read more from the series here.
I am writing this because one of my editors woke up in the middle of the night and scribbled on a bedside notepad: “What is a parameter?” Unlike a lot of thoughts that hit at 4 a.m., it’s a really good question—one that goes right to the heart of how large language models work. And I’m not just saying that because he’s my boss. (Hi, Boss!)
A large language model’s parameters are often said to be the dials and levers that control how it behaves. Think of a planet-size pinball machine that sends its balls pinging from one end to the other via billions of paddles and bumpers set just so. Tweak those settings and the balls will behave in a different way.
OpenAI’s GPT-3, released in 2020, had 175 billion parameters. Google DeepMind’s latest LLM, Gemini 3, may have at least a trillion—some think it’s probably more like 7 trillion—but the company isn’t saying. (With competition now fierce, AI firms no longer share information about how their models are built.)
But the basics of what parameters are and how they make LLMs do the remarkable things that they do are the same across different models. Ever wondered what makes an LLM really tick—what’s behind the colorful pinball-machine metaphors? Let’s dive in.
What is a parameter?
Think back to middle school algebra, like 2a + b. Those letters are parameters: Assign them values and you get a result. In math or coding, parameters are used to set limits or determine output. The parameters inside LLMs work in a similar way, just on a mind-boggling scale.

🔍🤓 Another day, another "bug" found by Cloudflare's elite bug-detecting squad! 330 cities, #trillions of requests, and a minor hiccup in Go's ARM64 compiler—you'd think they'd be more concerned with their user interface from 2003. 😂🌐

The dementia patient is dissembling freely again:
> "Without Tariffs, and all of the TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS we have already taken in,
> our Country would be completely destroyed, and our military power would be
> instantly obliterated"Trillions? The actual figure for the whole of this administration is around 100 billion - and that's including tariffs, customs / duty, and excise taxes that existed pre-tantrum.
He's mad judges have correctly ruled that his (limited) authority to levy tariffs in an emergency doesn't just let him do anything and everything he wants, forever.
Someone please take the phone away from grandpa. He needs to sleep.

Separate #DOJ statement:
"TD Bank intentionally did not automatically monitor all domestic automated clearinghouse (ACH) transactions, most check activity, and numerous other transaction types, resulting in 92% of total transaction volume going unmonitored from Jan. 1, 2018, to April 12, 2024. This amounted to approximately $18.3 trillion of transaction activity."
10th largest US bank.

New blog post: Python gets down to (the) Metal
Are you a mac & Python person?
Do you have a few trillion numbers to multiply together?
But are you also a busy person who doesn’t have all day to wait for the results?
If the answer for all these questions is “Yes!”, then this post might just be for you.

The fact is that #Canada owes #trillions to #FirstNations here because #Canadian #government knowingly #stole #billions from #IndianTrustFund under #IndianAct & never even honoured any actual #treaties signed since inception of #KKKanada . Most #colonial Canadian #citizens don't even know their own country's #cruel & #shameful #RealHistory - #LEARN IT!

This article touches on several key reproducible techniques that the #CI #GangStalkers on #Meta #Facebook #Instagram #WhatsApp who have also migrated over to #Telegram & #Signal now use methodology wise to #TargetedIndividuals most notably by putting #SSM™ #StateSponsoredMalware that is off the shelf from the #UK, aka #GammaGroup's #FinFisher #FinSpy #Finsky which is used to infect and cause #Trillions of dollars of #FinancialCrime hiding behind their #ProxyServers to #HideTheirLocation .
This is a common tactic for spreading #disinformation and #CharacterAssasination via #FakeProfiles posing as the target, the #TargetedIndividual perpitrated by #CI's #WhiteListedCriminals & #Pedophiles in #CounterIntelligence.
