"A noteworthy part of the plan is to pause the electric vehicle (EV) mandate to meet a demand by the auto industry. The strategy waives the mandate for the 2026 model year and launches a 60-day review of the policy."
"Review" is a euphemism for dismantling it later, I think. I'm not sure how anyone ever expected it to work without a widespread charging network in place. Single fam detached garage charging I suppose, but that seemed unlikely to be sufficient.
I sure wonder what public cloud could possibly satisfy "buy Canadian."
meanwhile in British Columbia "have installed charging stations at 30 locations along provincial highways, adding to the over 5,000 charging stations in the province."
"Starting Aug. 15, 2025, drivers of eligible plug-in hybrid or battery-electric vehicles will no longer need to display an OK decal to use designated HOV lanes"
The Province of B.C. is making it easier for electric-vehicle (EV) drivers to access high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, reflecting the popularity of electric vehicles in B.C.

Canadian agriculture relies heavily on nitrogen fertilizers, there will be little if any less net "carbon release" through agrofuels, until fertilizer production becomes carbon neutral or negative. "Huge amount of energy required to grow crops"

Internxt is a cloud storage service alternative to Google Drive. It’s built for absolute privacy and military-grade security with zero-knowledge file storage.
Le passkey stanno sostituendo le password e sono già supportate da Google, Apple, Microsoft e molti siti. Sono più sicure, resistenti al phishing e facili da usare: si basano su crittografia a chiave pubblica e autenticazione biometrica o PIN. @tecnologia @sicurezza buff.ly/dEVSDNe
@cipper @sicurezza Come spiega l’articolo le passkey, come le password, sono specifiche per ogni provider/OS/app ma funzionano in modo più sicuro ed efficace. La sicurezza dell’autenticazione serve a noi per controllare i nostri dati.
@sicurezza conosco il concetto di passkey, ma onestamente, dipendere da una azienda per l'accesso a svariati servizi internet, anche essenziali, non mi sento affatto più sicuro, ma più ingabbiato.
La sicurezza la ottengo con un password manager serio, tipo keepassxc che non si affida al cloud, e con la 2FA nel caso di servizi critici come qualli bancari.
Inoltre queste aziende sono spesso totalmente inaffidabili in termini di servizi offerti e di privacy.
🚨AI propaganda factories🏭 are now operational. My study shows how small, open-weight models can run as fully automatic generators in influence campaigns. mechanising personas, engagement, cadence. Possible for State, non-state, and micro-actors, including and bedroom ones. This is a wake-up call. This has implications for AI Safety. Alignment in frontier, closed-source models won't save you. 💥 Next generation information warfare.
AI-powered influence operations can now be executed end-to-end on commodity hardware. We show that small language models produce coherent, persona-driven political messaging and can be evaluated automatically without human raters.

#Losapevateche APE100 era una famiglia di supercomputer sviluppati dall’INFN (1989-1994) per lo studio delle particelle. Evoluzione di APE (1984), fu progettato a Roma e Pisa sotto la direzione di Nicola Cabibbo.
Nel 1991 divenne il più potente al mondo(!): 2048 CPU, 100 GigaFLOPS.
Il linguaggio “ZZ” divenne “TAO” e poi OpenZz. Una versione fu commercializzata come Quadrics. Successivi: APEmille e APEnext.

The biofuels statement misleading political noise to distract and deny.
"Biofuels do not reduce emissions"

Canadian agriculture relies heavily on nitrogen fertilizers, there will be little if any less net "carbon release" through agrofuels, until fertilizer production becomes carbon neutral or negative.
"Huge amount of energy required to grow crops"
"who's land where and for what"
Land Use change can't be ignored.
If canola based agrofuel is used, where will Canadians get their vegetable oils for non-fuel?
