@evan Mainly? Otherwise, what's the point of it being Canadian?
If you take a course on quantum mechanics, classical mechanics won't be an important part of it — but it'd be referenced and compared to.
You can't just pile everything together — sometimes it's important to focus.
as a historian I disagree heh.
I don't have a strong opinion about the Italy thing, but ..
look up the New Imperial History school of thought which discusses how economic and population forces work at great distances affecting and defining local history in ways which were previously ignored. it's a whole thing. -

@evan@cosocial.ca I voted yes by pure parochialism. W l'italia! BTW Canadian Corps made a great job during WWII, fighting against nazi at Linea Gotica. -

@evan No, but… many of its ramifications are so it makes sense to know more about it to know more about Canada.
Could also have answered Yes, but… not in the intuitive sense of “being a part of”, because everything is so interconnected that any major event with global ramifications is a part of the entire worlds history so not sure the definition is very useful colloquially?

@evan So an evasive answer would be
“as much as it is part of Brazilian history”

@villasbc could it be both? I mean, the War of the Triple Alliance is part of many countries' history.

This blogpost makes an astoundingly good case about LLMs I hadn't considered before. The collapse of public forums (like Stack Overflow) for programming answers coincides directly with the rise of programmers asking for answers from chatbots *directly*. Those debugging sessions become part of a training set that now *only private LLM corporations have access to*. This is something that "open models" seemingly can't easily fight. https://michiel.buddingh.eu/enclosure-feedback-loop

@lritter in this case it was a bad decision made under pressure that I had already refactored out a year prior, I just missed a spot. i like to think i've been able to code most programmers under the table for quite a long time now, but that's not really all that hard a bar to clear tbh.

@inthehands Emailed all 3 of my reps today. Defund, abolish, impeach.

@inthehands Will Homan really be much of a difference? I only reason Bovino was sacked, I fear: I produced way too many "unfortunate" pictures. His terror was total in line with the regime's doctrine.
