US fossil fuel companies also make money from projects outside US. They explore, build the infrastructure, and operate oil fields for other countries.

Indeed.

All the blather about Canadian "trade surplus" is actually oil.

US companies owning that infra sell that oil under market price, to their US corp divisions. The CEO, upper execs are usually American, and so their large salaries, and all corporate profits all flow to the US parent corp.

Canada of course sees some taxes per barrel of oil, and local employment, but when you remove all this, Canada has a massive trade deficit with the US

Of course for this US calls Canada trade unfair.

It's all smoke and mirrors.


Maybe. But it's not obvious that they would benefit from cheap petrol.

In that case, we should definitely reserve judgement on the weird payment stipulations then. The oil industry probably hates that the government is doing this, and we shouldn't cast aspersions on them.

Not maybe, they do. And noone wants their product so expensive that people starts looking for alternatives.

At a guess, they're probably happy to encourage continued reliance on petroleum, whilst the rest of the world is switching over to renewable energy.


except that a big chunk of the AI investments is going into buying GPUs that go obsolete much earlier than the 6-8 year time frame.


It's not as simple as documentation. If you document the interface, you need to keep it somewhat stable and backwards compatible.

But if it is internal, then you control both ends of the API, and can change them in tandem.


In the same county, maybe. But electricity is a tradable commodity. The electricity price goes up for the neighbouring counties without the tax benefits.


Have you measured the lag time for your CGM?

Typically the glucose level in the interstitial fluid takes longer to respond to your food intake, and the GCMs measure that instead of the blood glucose level.


Theoretical question: what happens if he doesn’t do what the courts order, and the congress is too afraid to impeach him?


What happens? This. This happens, the things we're seeing.

He's already defying multiple court orders and the Congress is not impeaching him. Oh, some of the politicians are introducing articles of impeachment, but you can see quite clearly that this won't go anywhere.


Is it a theoretical question?

This is no longer a representative democracy, but an autocracy.


Courts can deputize other people to enforce their orders


Do you think that will happen? Any idea how long?


I think if this happens it would be well after shit has very visibly hit the fan.

I.e. when militias take up arms by themselves, perhaps a court would “authorize” their actions with something like this.

I don’t think any judge will voluntarily be the spark that ignites a civil war


It's a desktop computer. What's keeping you from using an external SSD?


For large media, sure, but I really don't to pay a premium to then need to manage where my everyday apps are installed cause I only have 256GB of storage I can't upgrade.


Any plans to add support for the macOS Mail app?


Do you mean iCloud mail? We looked into it but Apple unfortunately does not support an API for it. Another potential option could be using IMAP but we haven't looked at it just yet.


No. I mean the Mail app itself. It can be used like a lite version of Outlook. The app can be used as a client for standard IMAP/POP mail servers. It also has GMail integrations.

The mail is usually downloaded into local mbox files.


Ah understood. I'm not familiar with the mbox format but from a quick search it looks like they're text files so should be easy enough to build support for. Let me test this and get back


I would be happy with incorporating Mac mail search into your tool. So you just proxy spotlight/mail search capabilities.


Understood, we'll look into this. Thank you!


There's an integration with ChatGPT, that requires user approval every time.
