Great read. Even in STEM research as a grad student I’m very tired of every saying “let’s try machine learning on this problem” to get something that works marginally better than some conventional models but requiring huge amounts of computation and data.

Nonetheless it’s gotten quite expensive. It made a nice post-bar snack, however there are now many better options at the price point.

Sadly I’ve been at this thread and done this already, did not work :(

People think it’s just due to the trackpads being crap (and somehow Windows gets around it). I’ll probably never need to buy another laptop, but if I do I will probably not buy a Dell again regardless of how much I love every other aspect of this laptop.

Still sad because my Precision 5560 (same as XPS 9510) has this floaty trackpad bug on Ubuntu and Pop OS for whatever reason! (I haven’t tried any other distro). Much easier for me to swap to Linux on my laptop than my desktop because my laptop is just for Python, LaTeX, and MATLAB.

Dell even sells a 5560 with Ubuntu preinstalled, but they don’t make it available for users. But I have not for the life of me been able to get the track-pad bug to go away.

There are users that complain about it from over a year ago. Maybe it’s a slow rollout, or some game of cat-and-mouse where my ublock isn’t updating for some reason.

But I can still search from the browser search bar and I get results. It’s when trying to edit my search that I get problems.

I’ve used it a long time now. I find it to have much more relevant results than DDG did last time I tried.

Yeah probably something like that. During the conservative debates Aitchinson seemed very reasonable but whenever I see media reporting on him now, he seems less so.

Yup came to comment this. The number is certainly more than half. Second line:

More than two in five (43%) of Canadians say they know very little or nothing about the topic, reports TECHNATION.

This is just self-reported.

I think it was an option on reddit, but I dont think that feature exists on Lemmy

Yes this statement was quite frankly hilarious. I’m certain that the mafia has moved onto stealing bread for black-market redistribution. Or maybe they themselves can no longer afford to shop at Lowblaws.

Kodi + RealDebrid

Yes but when you’re searching online they advertise pricing with the rock bottom fare. IMO shouldn’t exist at all

The fact that Air Canada and Air Transit both charge extra for baggage for international flights now irks me to no end. Should leave this kind of BS to discount flight companies.

Yup hate the new update. I have a weird problem with deleting words too with the backspace since the update. Will probably revert to Samsung messages soon.

Well it’ll still take then time to lock down the loopholes so Apple will get to milk the cow a bit longer.

So did I, but I guess at this point we should know better.

While not a full-scale overhaul of the federal voting system as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau once promised, within the two-party confidence-and-supply agreement are a series of electoral reform proposals aimed at expanding “the ability for people to vote.”

Specifically, the Liberals and New Democrats agreed to explore:

• Allowing an “expanded” three-day voting period during general elections;
• Allowing voters to cast their ballots at any polling place within their riding; and
• Improving the mail-in ballot process with both accessibility and maintaining integrity in mind.

…

Expanding the amount of days Canadians have to cast their ballot may be the most significant proposal currently under negotiation.

Overall not super interesting. These are good proposals of course, but not exactly the kind of electoral reform that I think most of us are looking for. Maybe that will change but I’m not feeling particularly hopeful.

Why is Quebec excluded from this list?
