What makes that the more likely scenario?

Because it’s their facility

this facility has never had this issue until the FBI showed up to commandeer their incinerator.

Says who?

For all we know they’ve had issues everytime they incinerate but they ignored it cuz a lil bit of smoke from 1 cat is way easier to shrug off compared to a huge amount of meth

It’s very possible they just have been ignoring the problem because normal smoke from incineration a very small cadaver isn’t a big deal, whereas meth fumes are extremely toxic and not something you can just shrug off

Lord knows I’ve worked with workers who have the “I’ve been doing it this way for 10 years and never had an issue, don’t be a pussy” type of attitude too

So hard to say, without more info it’s basically just us speculating.

rather than the FBI for their clear incompetence?

The article has not stated who was responsible for operation of the facility.

It’s more likely the responsibility was on the staff to ensure the equipment at their own facility was functioning right

This sort of error should have been covered by prior operation licensing checks, a facility with an incinerator on premises shouldn’t have negative pressure issues

So something somehow caused a negative pressure issue.

Usually the culprit is some kind of exhaust fan being run, or a door being left open too long

Based on time of year and how hot out it is, I wonder if a staff member left a door propped open or something.

Incinerator systems need positive pressure overall.

Anyone who lives in the north and has a gas based furnace heating system knows how deadly negative air pressure can be…

Read the article:

The incinerator is usually used by animal control officers to dispose of euthanised animals, but local authorities said it can also be used by law enforcement to burn seized narcotics.

The incident was caused when smoke was pushed in the wrong direction because of negative pressure, according to Assistant City Administrator Kevin Iffland.

That sounds like it wasn’t a method specific issue, and if anything had been burnt in that incinerator it would’ve caused the same issue.

Sounds like the facility wasn’t setup right, any facility with an incinerator should definitely have positive pressure, not negative.

Getting a later special meeting request with the ceo, at one company, because he wanted feedback on their interview process itself. He then offered me a different job and I had to decline cuz I already accepted another (this was a few weeks after the initial decline I gave)

In another case they just fast tracked me and I ended up declining the job anyways (didn’t like the job)

I’m full time employed but I still do occasiobal interviews to keep feelers out for how the market is. But I typically decline most offers cuz they’re not good enough to get me to actively quit my current job.

Same, I’ve started just stating I have a maximum of 3 interviews I do before I auto-reject the offer.

This has had interesting results.

In the “right” use case, story points should just represent relative effort.

The hours dont matter, its more about ranking how challenging a task is, in order to help the manager rank the priority of tasks.

You should have typically 2~3 metrics:

1. Points, which represent relative effort of the task to the other tasks you are also ranking.

2. Value, how much value does doing this task provide, how important is it

3. Risk, how risky is it that this might break shit though if you make these changes (IE new features typically are low risk since they just add stuff, but if you have to modify old stuff now your risk goes up)

If you have a good integration testing system automated, Risk can be mostly removed since you can just rely on your testing framework to catch if something is gonna explode.

Then your manager can use a formula with these values to basically rank a priority order for every ticket you now scored, in order to assess what the next thing is that is best to focus on.

I thought he already put tariffs on us? And then again?

As a Canadian, all I can say is “hey wait a minute, I’ve seen this one before!”

I’m shocked this sorta shit still happens in 2025, how did this come into being? Thus might be a rabbit hole I go down, who founded this program, who vetted it, etc

Cool

The paper clearly is about how a specific form of training on a model causes the outcome.

The article is actively disinformation then, it frames it as a user and not a scientific experiment, and it says it was Facebook llama model, but it wasn’t.

It was a further altered model of llama that was further trained to do this

So, as I said, utter garbage journalism.

The actual title should be “Scientific study shows training a model based off user feedback can produce dangerous results”

Anytime an article posts shit like this but neglects to include the full context, it reminds me how bad journalism is today if you can even call it that

If I try, not even that hard, I can get gpt to state Hitler was a cool guy and was doing the right thing.

ChatGPT isn’t anything in specific other than a token predictor, you can literally make it say anything you want if you know how, it’s not hard.

So if you wrote an article about how “gpt said this” or “gpt said that” you better include the full context or I’ll assume you are 100% bullshit

Sorts? Not tabs in the way you’d expect but it’s default ones can be sufficient

Honestly though once you get pretty good with hotkeys you stop using tabs, for all intents and purposes harpoon is tabs, but better, and without the UI. You just mentally usually pick harpoon keys that make sense to save jump points to, like I’ll harpoon FooController.cs to c and FooService.cs to s and FooEntity.cs to e and so one

And the I jump around with those keys. Usually when working I only need tops 5 harpoon or so for a chunk of work.

I still boot in sub 1s so I don’t know what you mean by “bloated”

Lazy allows you to boot ultra fast by loading stuff in the background later, so “bloat” doesn’t matter

nvim-dap does literally nothing until you trigger it, so it’s only impact on my startup is like 3 hotkey registrations :p

It’s a perfectly fine debugger, works great. The fact I can telescope search to fzf my stack trace actually kind of makes it superior? Like you can’t do that sorta stuff in any other IDE I know of

Also all my navigation stuff like telescope/harpoon/etc still apply when debugging, so I can literally debug faster jumping around the stack trace with hotkeys.

Neovim doesn’t get any less awesome when it comes to debugging, a lot of it’s power still applies just as much haha

A lot of them are dependencies of other plugins.

Stuff like icons support, and every little feature. Neovim is extremely minimalist to start, so you need plugins just to get something as simple as a scrollbar lol

Things like git status of files and file lines, all your LSPs, syntax highlighting (for each language you work with), file explorer, you name it, there’s a lot.

But what’s nice about nvim is for any of these given features, there’s numerous options to pick from. Theres probably a dozen options to choose from for what kind of scrollbar you want in your editor, as an example.

So you end up with a huge amount of plugins in the end, for all your custom stuff you have configured.

You have to setup yourself (though theres a lot of very solid copy pasteable recipes for each feature):

• Scrollbar
• Tabs(if you want em)
• bookmarking
• every LSP
• treesitter
• navigation (possibly multiple of them, I use both a file tree, telescope, and harpoon)
• file history stuff
• git integrations, including integrating it with the numerous other plugins you use (many of them can integrate with git for stuff like status icons)
• Code commenting/uncommenting
• Code comment tags (IE TODO/BUG/HACK/etc)
• your package manager is also a package (I like lazy for wicked fast open speeds, neovim opens in under 1s for me)
• hotkey management (I like to use which-key)
• prose plugins (lots of great options here too, I use nvim for more than just coding!)
• neorg, so I can use nvim for taking notes, scheduling stuff, etc too
• debugger via nvim-dap
• debugger UI via nvim-dap-ui
• lualine, which is a popular statusline plugin people like to have at the bottom of their IDE for general file info
• new-file-template which lets me create templates for new files by extension (IE when I make a .cs file and start editting it, I can pick from numerous templates I’ve made to start from, same for .ts, .lua, etc etc)
• git conflict, which can detect and work with detected git merge conflict sections in any type of file and give me hotkeys to do stuff like pick A / B / Both / Neither, that sorta stuff

The list goes on and on haha

quietly scoots his entire github repo for his neovim configuration and 200+ plugins behind his back

Haha yeah totally

I have my full setup in github with details of all my various plugins I use here!

https://github.com/SteffenBlake/pixxel-nvim

Once I got so used to all my custom keybinds in neovim, it became hard to use anything else.

I’m used to tools like Harpoon for fast jumping around “bookmarked” spots in my code, once i started using the same technique for my writing it’s like something clicked for me, I was like “holy shit I can arbitrarily jump to spots so fast now…”

I use neovim a lot for coding.

Over time though I discovered it had tonnes of amazing features as a prose editor too, so many powerful plugins for editing prose that blew me away.

Stuff like “warn me if I use tthe same word too much” and whatnot.

And of course telescopes fuzzy find made jumping around to edit my text way faster, and being able to bulk change stuff with a simple :%s/.../.../g feels real good.

I highly recommend folks try out nvim for this use case :3

The 1 seat they got was in the green party stronghold (co leaders home town)

I have zero clue what her platform is, prolly environmentalist tho.

If any vote ever fails in our government, it triggers an instant re-election. It’s called the Vote of Non Confidence

It’s probably one of the most key parts of why our government is a little bit more resistant to clown-showing, because even a small crack in the parliament triggers a new election.

So bills can only be tabled if the gov is 100% confident it will have the votes.

Which means the conservatives could table a bill if they knew the NDP + Bloc would side with them on it, as then they have the votes to pass it.

But since it’s the NDP, a very progressive party, it means they actually hold that fine balance of mediating power between liberals and conservatives.

It’s pretty solid actually, and makes it so everyone the entire term could pass a reasonable bill.

Pretty sure this last term the conservatives and liberals did agree on some stuff and some bills passed with both approving it, iirc.

I think forcing them to occasionally work together like that helps temper the fascism lol.
