Checking in with a Ryzen 7600 and an Nvidia 2060. Runs fine no complaints, medium-high settings. I didn't know there was outcry about poor optimization until I saw this article here.

You could say it a lot, so people make sure you’re very human in design.

I agree, but I struggle to put my finger on why. Is it their refusal to use any other words for Truman or The Truman Show? That read as really repetitive to me.

A lot of comedy/skit shows are like that. We take the good with the bad I guess

Rates needed to rise before it was going to come to pass.

To me it makes perfect sense that they are more granular during times when volatility is up and inflation is a concern. Otherwise everyone would be (rightfully) complaining that they are using outdated models when inflation needs to be gotten under control.

Besides, the new weighting is public. It didn't change all that much. I'm not going to run the numbers but the napkin math says 1) it wouldnt significantly change the headline rate and 2) it wouldnt change what we take away: it's artificially lowered by volatile items like gasoline, and underlying consistent categories are still too hot for the BoC. So while it's true that the headline rate is "bullshit", it's not because they changed the weighting.

Changing the formula isn't a problem, it changes all the time (and SHOULD change all the time). In my opinion the problem is the choice of headline from CBC. Even the article acknowledges the headline inflation rate is being influenced downwards by volatile items, and that economists as well as the BoC don't really care what the headline rate is. All eyes are still on the underlying "warm" parts of more consistent categories.

For reference here is the new basket weights of the CPI. Updated with the release of the May 2023 data. And here is the HCFE data that they used to update the weightings.
