As a Canadian, I agree with Dan that owning a very small piece of the pie is a good thing.
As a founder, I wonder what kind of strings attached and overheard come with such an investment.
To all these cynics dunking on the @cohere round;
Canada has invested in private entities for years. The CDC has done it for decades successfully in mining, petrochemicals and pharma (TMC pipeline and many others).
This is a regular practice in defense and military. AI is at least as important.
It's not picking a winner. It's co-investment with the best company in the world @nvidia.
Just celebrate great Canadian entrepreneurs doing something ambitious or go back to bed.
Another Grok Bot x Call4Me collab miracle. We had a great family meal after trick-or-treating.

Certains fonctionnaires accaparent des plages de médecins pour obtenir un billet de télétravail. Ce n'est pas un bon usage de nos ressources en santé, et ça pénalise tous ceux qui attendent des soins légitimes.
C'est admirable à quel point les fonctionnaires sont prêts à travailler fort pour ne pas aller au bureau.

Children averaging 5,000 to more than 12,000 steps per day day had fewer mental health symptoms than those taking less than 5,000.
Mental health symptoms were progressively lower across higher step counts with no apparent plateau, even at 12,000+ steps per day.
Brain scans also linked higher step counts to greater thickness in two specific regions of the cortex, the brain’s outer layer.
Daily movement deserves much more attention as a potential way to support kids’ mental health. That's especially clear when you consider that modern-day digital and urban environments provide little opportunity for movement throughout the day.
This Instinct use case is a huge time saver and should significantly reduce the parking tickets I get
Loved using FSQ for 10+ years (and still use Swarm!). Very sad that such an iconic product of the early social web ends like this.
Foursquare was acquired last month. The outcome was disappointing. It's taken me a while to write this, but I think I'm finally done grieving it. Here are some thoughts on our final years, an effort to honor the team who helped build & maintain FSQ's legacy, and my attempt to finally get some closure. teendrama.substack.com/p/som…
Sans surprise, j'ai quelques pensées sur le sujet. Avant 2020, on devait se battre pour montrer les bienfaits de la télésanté. Maintenant c'est adopté à différents degrés, partout… ou presque.
Je vais garder mes commentaires et partager ceux du Dr Martin St-André, de @ChuSteJustine
"La télémédecine est le plus riche héritage de la pandémie. [...] On permet à des populations vulnérables d’avoir accès aux soins dont elles ont besoin. Elles évitent des déplacements à l’hôpital, souvent coûteux ; déplacements qu’elles n’ont souvent pas l’énergie d’entreprendre de toute façon."

My 5yo has a knack for remembering and asking about song lyrics.
RIP listening to hip-hop in the car or anywhere close to him.

This reminds me of Steve Jobs' advice to a former Nike CEO: "Nike makes some of the best products in the world. Products that you lust after. But you also make a lot of crap. Just get rid of the crappy stuff and focus on the good stuff". Can apply the same to Omega.
Speaking of Omega releases, for the love of christ, WHY IS THERE 93 DIFFERENT FUCKING VERSIONS OF A SPEEDMASTER, just WHY???
I was searching for a speedy I like, because I wanted to show the watch to a friend, and goddamn there's 93 different speedmasters...
This is worse than I ever thought it was, OMEGA WHAT IS UUU DOING????
I don't think Rolex has half the amount Omega (for some reason has)
