$ORIGIN (or equivalently ${ORIGIN}) This expands to the directory containing the program or shared object. Thus, an application located in somedir/app could be compiled with

gcc -Wl,-rpath,'$ORIGIN/../lib'

so that it finds an associated shared object in somedir/lib no matter where somedir is located in the directory hierarchy. This facilitates the creation of "turn-key" applications that do not need to be installed into special directories, but can instead be unpacked into any directory and still find their own shared objects.

Amnesty International Canada is opposing the project by Meta, which is anticipated to take up an area larger than Vancouver’s Stanley Park in Sturgeon County.

“This is a highly unregulated industry that operates on a surveillance-based business model,” Tara Scurr, Amnesty International Canada’s Corporate Accountability and Climate Justice Campaigner.

Some families in Georgia are being forced to sell their homes or face government seizures to make way for powerlines. 70-80% of that power is needed for AI data centers.

If the Zig community carves out a territory of principled engineering like this, I may adopt it as my primary language and make a career out of it. Finally an island of sanity in a sea of slop.

On Tuesday morning, Attorney General Niki Sharma told media the province owes it to the community to prevent something like this from happening again.

"The events of Feb. 10 will forever remain a dark chapter in our province's history," she said.

She said the company failed to notify law enforcement of violent prompts the shooter made on OpenAI's ChatGPT platform ahead of the tragedy.

"I think we were all shocked when we heard that there might have been an opportunity to prevent the loss of life," Sharma said.

"These tools, AI and the risk that they pose to the public, it's our responsibility now as a government to make sure that actors that are putting these risks and these harms to the public are accountable."

Using AI increases the risk that young children skip important ⁠steps in their education, Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere told a press ​conference on Friday.

"The most important thing in school is that our children ​learn to read, write and do mathematics," Stoere said, adding that the new standards will be imposed from the new school year beginning in late August.

I like Ed, but not a fan of this style of teasing. Reminds me of conspiracy theory communities. We'll see what he has I guess.

The Luddites didn’t hate machines. They were gifted artisans resisting a capitalist takeover of the production process that would irreparably harm their communities, weaken their collective bargaining power, and reduce skilled workers to replaceable drones as mechanized as the machines themselves. Their struggle has been tragically warped into a caricature when it is more relevant than ever.

Not a fan of Poilievre by any means, but I'm glad we don't live in a world where he immediately takes the anti-trans attack angle. I won't be surprised if he does in a few days or weeks, but I'll take what I can get.

Yes, probably, but you know what, even if the DEI was performative, it had a real positive impact for tens of thousands of employees and the culture set by the media empire they control, and now we don't even have that.
