The older HK songs I know that use both Chinese and English are usually just one or two common words, or separated in phrasing. <br/><br/>In a song like this that&#39;s so seamless, it&#39;s hard to &#34;change the channel&#34; so you&#39;re thinking in the right language, especially when it&#39;s in a song when you&#39;re thinking about the melody as well. This would be much easier to follow in a regular conversation.<br/><br/>The music itself is quite Canadian-coded.

This will happen in 2026.<br/><br/>- At this point, free access to LLMs will go away. Corporate LLMs will raise their prices by at least 100x to make up for the loss in users and casual revenue. <br/><br/>- Unfortunately, this^ means AI coding /marketing wouldn&#39;t go away. It&#39;d just be far, far more expensive and require deeper approvals. Your boss will have AI and you won&#39;t be able to summarize it.<br/><br/>- China and the rest of BRICS will take over the free AI market because they can. Perfect opportunity for propaganda and cyber warfare here.<br/><br/>- Many software products that wrap base commercial models will see their operating costs skyrocket. They&#39;ll basically need to rip it all out, or embed a cheaper model.<br/><br/>- Essentially, companies who haven&#39;t built out a proper data/AI team will fail unless their base non-AI product is still relevant.<br/><br/>- Small companies will die when they fail to transition out of this mess. There will be a wholesale buyout, like the dot com crash. This means deeper consolidation at the FAANG level.<br/><br/>- We&#39;ve had essentially an entire generation of juniors who had a cheap/free magical crutch for years. How will you train people to read, write and code again across every industry?<br/><br/>- The costs of cloud services will also skyrocket, since they need to pay off their bullshit AI hardware/data centre investments. We may see a return to on-prem/hybrid IT. (This will be REALLY interesting for how software evolves from the current SaaS model.)<br/><br/>- Some people will start hyping quantum, but we&#39;re at least 2+ hype cycles away from that.<br/><br/>- (This one&#39;s a wild guess.) The next hype cycle is probably going to be in hardware/wearables/physical space, but that&#39;s ridiculously expensive to get into. It&#39;ll basically just be marketing. <br/><br/>- The techbro doomers will claim to have predicted this the whole time. They&#39;ll have more than enough money to start the next hype cycle for the next round of VC/PE hot potato.<br/><br/>- Western governments are still going to try to implement &#34;AI&#34; even after the crash and the prices go up. 2025-12-14T04:12:28Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqszcu60q2tzajn2vzge679wudfwr837x9eznk6yafux9620z09mqwczyrvqn4ptznzw05s54fqq6zwh606vtlsw5ryewagfm37cd9384mjvxfk860p In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswprm8ggzgq60e6e6yzl8xd2mpuklywz66cf2rt37wwneckhexhcg9q8uda'>nevent1q…8uda</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I promise to tell the whole story when the poll ends. 😇 2025-12-11T01:20:55Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqswprm8ggzgq60e6e6yzl8xd2mpuklywz66cf2rt37wwneckhexhcgzyrvqn4ptznzw05s54fqq6zwh606vtlsw5ryewagfm37cd9384mjvxz2rarx In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsyz42u37mr6rdq3h8xxlcy4zrwynt83tepq6xjsdm88whnru7zvhgxna7yg'>nevent1q…a7yg</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>This actually happened to me many years ago. 2025-12-11T01:10:05Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsyz42u37mr6rdq3h8xxlcy4zrwynt83tepq6xjsdm88whnru7zvhgzyrvqn4ptznzw05s54fqq6zwh606vtlsw5ryewagfm37cd9384mjvxask8aq You ordered a pizza, cash on delivery. 35 minutes later, a cop car pulls up to your door.

Once you&#39;re on an LTO, a school can then hire you on permanently.

Once you&#39;re hired on full-time, you have no seniority. If and when the cuts come again, you&#39;re first on the list to get kicked back to the supply list.<br/><br/>4.

To start teaching, you need to be on the supply list (substitute teacher). Then when you&#39;re on the list, you qualify for long term occasional (LTO) contracts. Teachers who are on leave (short term disability, parental leave, leave of absense) are filled in with these LTO contracts. <br/><br/>LTOs are also often only part-time, so you lose the full-time income from when you were substituting.<br/><br/>1/ 2025-10-06T17:13:30Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs0d0m5etnxwreqwc3r0fmzqrsw277zsysky42ds569rndfch7g3ygzyrvqn4ptznzw05s54fqq6zwh606vtlsw5ryewagfm37cd9384mjvxpnujjj How do we make EA an even worse company?

There&#39;s no chance you&#39;re going to win. <br/><br/>Use the election as an education campaign to get people to talk about what&#39;s important. They might not vote for your candidate/party this election, but watching that vote share go up makes it a real contender for the next election. 2025-09-16T17:48:01Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs0rjgzru7uvm8zh98ugvkd08xfx4y4qafec8manuj3jvjzljc5w9szyrvqn4ptznzw05s54fqq6zwh606vtlsw5ryewagfm37cd9384mjvxld9xy2 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxshwfsfsns7guey5wq7m4gff03aags0n55l0plpgqclqklrev5mghdj2ck'>nevent1q…j2ck</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Better voting for a lesser party than sitting out, every single time. 2025-09-16T17:40:31Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsg89z6ckrfnrld9ldnueaqlf28lfy4xen8nmyrum5ry7gxpeywr2szyrvqn4ptznzw05s54fqq6zwh606vtlsw5ryewagfm37cd9384mjvxm4amdm When I was a small child, the ....... person who cared for me while my parents were at work? Not quite a nanny, but imagine a nanny who&#39;s like family. <br/><br/>Anyway, she took me out one day, and there was a fortune-teller on the side of the street.<br/><br/>She thought it&#39;d be fun, so she had the fortune-teller read my palm. The grizzled old woman told the 3-year-old me that my life was either going to be really short, or something significant was going to happen that takes my life down a completely different trajectory.<br/><br/>There&#39;s been at least 5 of these already. So... I guess I&#39;m not dying yet?!<br/><br/>I&#39;m certainly not dead yet. 2025-09-16T00:00:00Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs0ysy2yg3kfgmj5te3fm2gmfykepwdx6e9qcq3yxffnw78cx4vjxczyrvqn4ptznzw05s54fqq6zwh606vtlsw5ryewagfm37cd9384mjvxz02n4c Y&#39;all, this is too much.
