Quebec has some of the highest gas prices in Canada. But some not sold on fuel tax freeze
Despite Quebecers paying among the highest fuel prices in North America, some think the federal government's gas tax reprieve is a terrible idea.

Part of my job is doing POCs and applying new technologies in a value-creating system. This year I would like to do something which is not #AI related. Any cool ideas?

A past project, for example (10 years ago), was opening 200,000 simultaneous connections via Node.js on a RaspberryPI as it was cool and new non-blocking tech compared to a Tomcat that died at 1,024 connections 😅

#idea 💡

@jeffjarvis In a very loose #sense, #Americans could be considered #Germans 2.0 if we look at the actual development of #civilizations according to Sid Meier.
But that’s not even such a far-fetched #idea when you think about it.

#Idea: Ban an #AI agent from writing a file with arbitrary text.

Instead, force it to use a minimal set of tools for the specific task it is given. This can potentially create a more deterministic migration / transformation of source code while still using AI as a decision maker.

Ultimately the agent could always execute `echo "..." > file.txt`, and it's hard to prevent that while still allowing it the flexibility it wants.

I'm just wondering if constraining the agent in the right way would potentially increase consistency while leveraging it as a decision engine.
