Redefining Affordability: Why CMHC’s Benchmark Shift Matters

  • Carney does not run the CMHC. Your point may still be valid but in this context he did not make this decision.

    • AI slows down some experienced software developers, study finds

  • I bet it slows down the idiot software developers more than anything.

    Everything can be broken into smaller easily defined chunks and for that AI is amazing.

    Give me a function in Python that if I provide it a string of XYZ it will provide me an array of ABC.

    The trick is knowing how it fits in your larger codebase. That's where your developer skill is. It's no different now than it was when coding was offshored to India. We replaced Ravinder with ChatGPT.

    Edit - what I hate about AI is the blatant lying. I asked it for some ServiceNow code Friday and it told me to use the sys_audit_report table which doesn't exist. I told it so and then it gave me the sys_audit table.

    The future will be those who are smart enough to know when AI is lying and know how to fix it when it is. Ideally you are using AI for code you can do, you just don't want to. At least that's my experience. In that, it's invaluable.

  • Nope just the ADD.

    Celtics are basketball and my first love of a team before Toronto got The Raptors. That said their fambase is kinda toxic.

  • I see you also like to poke the bear lol. Seriously with me no topic is off limit I'll challenge every opinion someone has doesn't mean I disagree with it.

    Also Boston Celtics are no? Because Boston is racist AF?

  • Oh man this is years ago but my ex used to watch it (may still no idea) and when that plotline with Katherine hegl and her ghost husband was happening I remember lifting my head from my laptop and going "wait what?!" And then laughing my ass off.

  • Fun story. I once put my car on a site called lease busters because my ex and I were looking to get a bigger vehicle and there was 3 years left on the lease.

    It's long lost to time but I had a dude message me saying he would be willing to take the lease but said I could keep the car and insurance under my name.

    Like what in the absolute fuck?!

    • YSK that apart from not having a car and voting, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat.

    My kids aren't brown lol

    • She's out there

  • Many of us know this. It's not new. Change what you can, learn to accept or ignore what you can't

    • She's out there

  • You both are right. You're right because it's important. They're right because no one gives a shit.

  • So I wanted to have 9 kids but ended up finishing out at 3. So technically a savings of 6 kids! I'm helping the environment!

    Being pedantic a nebulous "having one fewer kid" means nothing unless there's a benchmark. I think they mean "having one fewer kid as a country average" so if the average Canadian has 1.26 children per women we want to see it .26 per women.

    On an individual level I can't unalive a child.

  • Forget that. They think one out of their first 3 friends they have is gay. Assuming they're straight that means 50% of their friends are gay. Fuck that means they think 25% of their first 4 friends are trans.

    Math is not their strong point apparently

    • As of 30 minutes ago at the time of posting, the NYPD has detained two young Black men after they refused their demands to show ID without explanation or cause.

  • Sigh. The responses you got really dishearten me. We really are moving fast to a binary world where everything is good or bad and any opportunity for nuance is thrown out the window.

    You are of course 100% correct.

  • Yes we can. We always have been able to. The problem is the willingness is not there yet. It will get worse before it gets better.

    As for being able to, there are so many solutions. Watch this video by Gwynn Dyer it's great.
